Rebirth of the Totem Pole, I became a taboo

Chapter 98: Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat...

At the entrance of a canyon that is more than twenty feet high, figures would occasionally enter and exit.

If you walk a little further in, you can see a village hidden in the canyon.

The village is called Needle Tower Village. The magical thing in the village is a needle tower made up of countless super-large pine needles, which is twenty meters high.

It is only slightly lower than the cliffs of the canyon on both sides.

Pine trees two or three meters high can be seen everywhere in the village.

Whenever pine needles fall from pine trees, someone will pick them up, collect them, and then pile them up in the house or yard, slowly piecing them together to form a small needle tower.

Almost every household has a needle tower of varying heights and sizes.

These needle towers are the symbol of family assets of every household in Zhenta Village.

Zhenwang used to be a villager of Zhenta Village with a high standard of living, and he was also the pillar of his family.

A warrior who has reached the pinnacle of physical training.

But not long ago, while out hunting, Zhen Wang was injured by a wild beast that was close to the monster.

In order to cure him, Zhen Wang's wife exchanged all the needle towers that were originally half a meter high for medicines.

But despite this, only the external injuries were cured.

Nowadays, Zhen Wang coughs from time to time.

Every night, it felt like something was trying to burst out of his chest, causing Zhenwang to cough non-stop.

After such a period of time, it is unlikely that Zhen would be able to reach the peak of physical fitness.

Any strenuous movement will cause coughing up blood.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a useless person.

I watched my wife's increasingly haggard body, and my son become unhappy because he didn't have the meat he used to have every two or three days.

Zhenwang's mood was extremely complicated.

"Mom, is there any meat today?"

Zhen Wang's son asked his mother in a low voice in the kitchen, but even though his voice was lowered, Zhen Wang could still hear it.

"Hush, little darling, there's meat to eat today. Mommy went to borrow some from grandpa."

"Wow nice!"

"Don't let it slip later. Just say that the pine tree dropped some extra pine needles today, so we can eat the meat, okay?"

"I know, mother!"

Listening to the rustling noises coming from the kitchen, Zhen Wang had a blank expression on his face.

While eating, he said nothing and did not ask his wife where the meat came from.

When his wife picked up some meat for him, he didn't refuse.

That night, Zhen Wang sat up from the side room.

Because of a cough, he slept in his son's room, while his son slept with his wife.

At this time, Zhen Wang quietly got up, gently opened the door and walked to the yard behind the house.

He suppressed the urge to cough, quietly picked up a shovel and started digging in a corner.

A few minutes later, Zhen Wang put down the shovel, bent over, and dug out the clay sculpture that he had buried with his own hands from the pit.

Looking at this clay sculpture, Zhenwang's eyes wandered, and he thought of the strange whispers of the clay sculpture in the night.

In the end, Zhen Wang buried the clay sculpture back.

the next day.

Zhen Wang told his wife that he wanted to go out with the firewood-collecting team to collect firewood. His wife wanted to stop Zhen Wang from lowering his status and doing work that ordinary people would do.

But when she thought about the situation at home, she just nodded with red eyes.

Zhenwang left and joined the firewood collecting team.

On the first day, two people on the same team were a little in awe of Zhen Wang because of his size.

The next day, after learning that Zhen Wang was disabled, the two began to tease Zhen Wang and asked how he became disabled.

On the third day, Zhen Wang had half a load of firewood stolen from him, but he said nothing.

On the fourth day, the manager of the firewood collection team learned that Zhen Wang's team had encountered wild beasts and two other people were taken away, so he prepared to assign two new teammates to Zhen Wang. Zhen Wang refused because he was not feeling well and wanted to go back to rest for a while, but he did not tell his wife about this.

On the fifth day, Zhen Wang carried a backpack and went out of the village under the attention of his wife. On that day, Zhen Wang's strength recovered to the second level of body building.

On the sixth day, Zhen Wang ambushed three members of the Yishichai Squad in a forest.

On the seventh day, Zhen Wang told his wife that he had recovered his strength. His wife cried for joy, but Zhen Wang seemed a little annoyed by his wife's crying.

On the eighth day, Zhen Wang returned to the hunting team and was warmly welcomed by his teammates.

But the two teammates that Zhen Wang had rescued at the cost of his own injury felt that Zhen Wang was not as enthusiastic as before.

Is it because they didn’t help Zhen Wang after he was injured?

On the ninth day, the team was attacked again. This time the beast was not as powerful as before. The two teammates thought that it would be easy to kill the beast with just a needle.

But Zhenwang just watched coldly as his two teammates died in the mouths of wild beasts.

Zhen Wang tried to avoid everyone's criticism by using the excuse that his body had not recovered well enough to rescue his two teammates, but was slapped by the captain.

The captain is half a step away from transcendence, he is defeated by his opponents and wants to become stronger.

On the tenth day, Zhen Wang left home and asked the captain to meet him alone in the wild. He killed the captain, took out the clay sculpture in the backpack, and sacrificed the captain's blood.

At this time, a slightly larger tit flapped its wings and followed Zhenwang.

……

"Captain Zhenwang, a group of mountain wolves have appeared near the canyon entrance and have attacked seven or eight people. The village chief asked you to take people to eliminate those mountain wolves."

A warrior from Zhenta Village bowed and said to Zhen Wang.

"Got it. I'll report to the village chief after I'm done."

Zhen Wang said lightly.

"Uh, Captain Zhenwang, you don't have to report to the village chief..."

Before the man could finish his words, he saw Zhen Wang staring at him coldly, and finally he lowered his head and walked away.

Zhen Wang returned to the room, put the clay sculpture into a box, then turned and headed out of the village.

……

"Where is the mountain wolf?"

Zhenwang asked a villager who was leading the way.

"Captain Zhenwang, there is a small pond not far ahead. Three people from our village went there to fetch water and were taken away. We don't know whether they are alive or dead."

"Got it. You guys wait here, I'll go take a look."

After Zhen Wang finished speaking, he ran towards the small pond.

When the guide saw this, he said to the people beside him, "Captain Zhenwang is very capable and a nice guy. He didn't let us take any risks and went alone. He is better than the previous captain."

"Who says it isn't?"

Another person continued.

"How about we go and see how Captain Zhenwang dealt with those mountain wolves?"

Someone suddenly suggested.

"Will that work? A wolf's nose is very sensitive."

"Okay, with Captain Zhenwang here, do you think those mountain wolves can still take care of us?"

"Yeah, let's go?"

The three of them hit it off immediately and ran towards a small hill to the side.

They are familiar with this place, and they can definitely see the situation of the small pond there.

But as soon as they reached the hillock, the excitement on their faces disappeared.

From a distance, they saw Captain Zhenwang, whom they had high hopes for, having his head bitten off by a huge mountain wolf.

Before the three of them could scream, the wolf that had bitten off the needle and was looking at its head looked towards them.
