Chapter 108: The Old Man and the Dog

Outside the Nine Provinces, there is a place called the Great Wilderness. No one knows how big the Great Wilderness is. People say that the Great Wilderness has no end.

This place has been ruled by the demon clan for generations. The creatures that can live here are either dead or demons. Only in some remote and inconspicuous corners of the Great Wilderness can we find traces of other lives.

At this moment, there is such a group of creatures, they are wandering in the Great Wilderness.

They have a completely different form from ordinary people. They have the appearance of humans, tigers, leopards, jackals, etc.

Their bodies are very strong, with human facial features and limbs.

But this is only the appearance of a very small part of the creatures. Most of the creatures are several feet or hundreds of feet tall. They can jump over mountains and rocks with a wave of their hands, and swallow rivers and spit out seas with one bite.

They are always engaged in endless hunting.

Either devour and evolve, or become food.

This is the ecology of the Great Wilderness.

At this time, in a corner of the Great Wilderness, an old man in a fur coat was hiding behind a rock.

He stuck his head out of the rock, his face full of white beard and white hair, and his old eyes were a little yellow.

In front of this rock, there was a huge black wolf, two meters tall and three meters long, with black hair all over its body, eating the body of another giant beast.

"What bad luck, I met this black wolf again, I can only wait for it to leave..."

The old man slowly lay down on the ground, with a cliff behind him, and he had no way to escape, so he didn't dare to make big moves, let alone attract the attention of the black wolf.

After a long time, the black wolf seemed to be full, licking its bloody lips and preparing to carry the body away.

But at this moment, the gravel under the old man's feet suddenly loosened, and he rolled directly to the cliff, and there were bursts of noise!

"It's bad!"

The old man's pupils shrank, and he saw the black wolf suddenly dropped the body and looked in the direction of the old man!

"Aww!!"

A beast roar came from the black wolf's mouth. Seeing this, the old man had to slowly climb up and bend over to move to the side step by step.

There was a cliff behind him. He couldn't turn around and run. He could only move slowly to one side. But the black wolf had already discovered it, so how could he give him a chance to escape?

The black wolf leaped onto the cliff. It was very fast and rushed out like a black shadow!

The old man was shocked and stepped back repeatedly, but he stepped directly on a piece of raw stone. His whole body fell towards the cliff!

"Not good..."

"Ah!!"

The old man's wailing sound came from the bottom of the cliff, getting smaller and smaller until it disappeared.

Seeing the old man falling towards the cliff, the black wolf's green eyes flashed, and he had no intention of chasing him anymore. He turned around and picked up the body and left here quickly.

But the old man who fell into the cliff did not die.

His fur coat was hung on a strong branch on the edge of the cliff, which gave him a chance to breathe for a moment.

The old man looked up at the branch and saw a cave on the branch, and a path next to the cave.

This path seemed to be carved out by people. Although it was very difficult to walk, it should lead to the cliff.

The old man waved his hand and tried to grab the branch, but at this moment, a crack suddenly appeared on the branch!

Crack!

The old man's eyes narrowed when he saw this. When he fell, the branch's bearing capacity had almost reached its limit.

Even if he did nothing, the branch would break soon.

And the more he struggled now, the faster the branch would break.

The old man took a deep breath and prepared to make a final fight!

"Woo!"

Just as the old man was about to reach out, suddenly, a beast roar came from the cave, and the old man was stunned when he heard it.

I saw a dark beast shadow slowly walking out of the cave!

It was a creature more than one meter long and half a meter tall.

It looked like a wolf, but its eyes were not as sharp as a wolf's, as if it lacked a bit of wildness. The old man looked closely and found that it was actually a black dog demon.

Now, the black dog was constantly approaching him.

This was really a case of "misfortunes never come singly".

The old man was feeling a little desperate at this time. Seeing that the branch was about to break, but there was a dog demon blocking the way, which made him feel a little helpless.

Crack!

With a crisp sound!

The branch suddenly broke, and the old man closed his eyes in despair, but suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps!

There was no sense of falling.

Strange.

The old man slowly opened his eyes and saw that the dog demon actually jumped directly onto the tree trunk and grabbed his fur coat in one bite.

The old man was a little surprised. Was this black dog saving him?

How could a demon save people?

Could it be that it was dragging me up and eating me, the old man thought so.

The black dog used its limbs to lift him up little by little, dragged him to the cave on the edge of the cliff and put him down.

The old man rolled over and stood up, ready to fight!

But the black dog just looked at him and went into the cave without looking back.

The old man was deeply puzzled by this. It was strange that the black dog saved him but not to eat him.

The old man recalled that there was no killing intent in the black dog's eyes.

With curiosity in his heart, the old man slowly walked into the cave and carefully came to the depths of the cave step by step.

With the dim light outside the cave, the old man could barely see the situation inside the cave.

There are several fur blankets and traces of a fire. Could it be that someone once lived here?

The old man continued to look and found a human skeleton.

The black dog nestled beside the skeleton. Seeing the old man coming, he did not even raise his head, as if he had no interest in him.

The old man slowly approached the black dog and took out a piece of dried meat from the leather bag on his chest and threw it to the black dog.

"You saved my life, this is my reward for you."

The black dog looked at the dried meat thrown to him and bit it directly, swallowing it without chewing, as if it was starving.

It raised its head and looked at the old man again.

The old man seemed to understand its eyes. Strange, is this really a monster?

The old man was puzzled and took out a piece of dried meat again and threw it to the black dog. The black dog caught it and swallowed it directly into his stomach.

This time, the black dog actually walked to the skeleton, picked up a leather scroll, and gently placed it in front of the old man.

The old man picked up the animal skin scroll in confusion. With the dim light outside the cave, he could barely see the handwriting on it.

There were animal-shaped characters on it.

The old man was more and more surprised as he read it, "White Ape in the Ten Thousand Beasts Scroll?!"

"It turns out that this withered bone is the predecessor of my human race, not a transformed monster. There are only six Ten Thousand Beasts Scrolls in the clan, and most of them are incomplete."

"But this White Ape Scroll is so complete. God bless my human race."

The old man was so happy that he boldly touched the black dog's head, but the black dog did not resist. Instead, he was very close to the old man.

The old man's face was happy, "You are not only my savior, but also the benefactor of the human race. I will accept this White Ape Scroll. Are you willing to go with me?"

The black dog barked, as if he understood what he meant, and walked out of the cave first.

The old man was amazed by this, "It's strange to understand human nature, strange, strange, the world of the wilderness, there are all kinds of wonders."
