Confucian and Taoist scholar

Chapter 95 Working together
Between the mountains, a mountain road winds its way into the distance.

It is located on a huge protruding rock halfway up a green hill on the mountain path.

Two giant wolves the size of calves squatted there, looking at the mountain path below.

The two wolves exuded a demonic aura, their slightly opened mouths revealing sharp fangs, and with every breath they spewed out a fishy-smelling mist.

One of the wolf demons was slightly smaller, with shorter front legs and longer hind legs. It was the most powerful of the wolves.

This wolf and this hyena have lived in this mountain for a long time. They would sneak attack lone passers-by and succeed every time.

When they encounter a group of people traveling together, they will hide and will not show up easily.

So much so that people who often take this route are unaware that there are actually two monsters on this mountain.

The wolf-like demon spoke in human language and said, "Calculating the time, that person will probably come to us to exchange for spirit beads in a while. This time, we need to exchange more for medicinal pills... Without medicinal pills, cultivation will be too slow."

The wolf-hound recalled the elixir that the black-robed man had exchanged with them before, which was better than absorbing human essence to practice.

Recently, the elixir has been used up and the progress of cultivation has become slow, which makes it miss the elixir very much.

Hearing this, the wolf demon said, "I'll do as you say! But there haven't been many people coming lately. They're all in groups. Could it be that we're going to do something big?"

The wolf demon is more clever than the wolf demon. Whenever the two demons do something, the wolf demon always comes up with the plan and the wolf demon then carries it out.

"We'll see what happens..." the wolf-monster said slowly, "Hmm? Someone's coming!"

The wolf's eyes flashed with brilliance as he saw a person walking slowly towards him on the mountain path in the distance.

Upon hearing this, the wolf demon looked in the direction and also found the young man walking alone in the mountains.

The wolf demon's eyes were cold and he whispered, "Looks like he's a scholar."

Although the two monsters were in the mountains, they saw many people coming and going.

The difference between ordinary people and rich kids can be seen simply by their skin color.

A young man with fair complexion who dares to walk alone in the mountains is most likely a scholar with some abilities.

However, the specific level of Taoism cannot be seen by the monster.

The wolf demon bared his teeth and asked excitedly, "Do you want me to go?"

It had been a long time since the wolf demon had seen any prey alone, and he was eager to catch the passerby.

The wolf monster said calmly: "Find a little guy and test his ability to see if he really has the ability..."

After saying that, the two monsters jumped off the boulder and disappeared into the forest.

On the mountain path, Lu Zheng walked slowly, as if he was enjoying the scenery.

He observed the surroundings and knew that there was a monster nearby, but he didn't know where.

The records of the mandrills are still not very detailed, only saying that there are two monsters in this place.

A wolf and a hyena, working together as a team, often attack and kill passers-by.

After walking for a while, I suddenly heard a sound coming from the jungle not far ahead.

Lu Zheng's eyes flickered and he looked in the direction of the sound.

A wild wolf suddenly rushed out of the woods and came to the mountain path, baring its teeth at Lu Zheng with a ferocious look on its face.

Lu Zheng discovered that it was just an ordinary wolf, and was surprised. Then he thought of the wolf-like monster here, who might have been sent to test his strength first.

Thinking of this, Lu Zheng's heart moved.

He drew the long sword from his waist and looked at the wolf blocking the road with a vigilant look.

The wild wolf grinned with a ferocious look, growled at Lu Zheng a few times, and then slowly walked closer.

Lu Zheng stood in front of him with a sword in his hand, reciting something.

"The Master said: A gentleman is not an instrument!"

As he spoke, Lu Zheng exuded a sense of righteousness, and then he strode towards the wild wolf at a moderate speed.

Lu Zheng swung his sword at the wild wolf, and the sword light flashed.

The wolf was startled and quickly took a few steps back. Then, it howled and darted into the bushes nearby, quickly running away. Seeing this, Lu Zheng did not chase after it and continued on his way.

After a while, four more wolves surrounded them from all sides.

Lu Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, not knowing whether the two monsters were still testing him or if they were just encountering an ordinary pack of wolves.

However, facing these wild wolves that bared their fangs at people, Lu Zheng decided to teach them a lesson without revealing his true state.

Lu Zheng, holding a long sword in his hand, quickly rushed towards the nearest wild wolf.

He suddenly became much faster and came close to the wolf in a blink of an eye. He stabbed the wolf in the right eye with his sword.

With another sudden thrust of the sword, a long wound appeared on the wolf's face, and blood gushed out.

The injured wolf howled and quickly ran away with its tail between its legs.

Seeing this, the other three wolves did not run away, but did not dare to move forward. They growled at Lu Zheng from a distance, pretending to be arrogant.

Lu Zheng turned and walked towards the other wolf.

The wolf quickly ran into the grass to gain distance.

In the dense forest not far away, the wolf demon's eyes shone dimly as he whispered, "Oh, this guy can't even kill an ordinary wolf. His strength is just so-so. I'm going to take him down!"

Upon hearing this, the wolf demon beside him said in a deep voice, "Be careful. These scholars may not be very skilled, but they have other abilities. Don't underestimate them."

"I know!" said the wolf demon.

It also knows that scholars are good at using literary skills to deal with evil spirits.

After saying that, the wolf demon rushed towards Lu Zheng excitedly, his body moving so fast that a demonic wind blew up.

Lu Zheng felt something and looked sideways, and saw a giant wolf flying out from the woods.

"Kid, die!"

The wolf demon growled and pounced on Lu Zheng with its bloody mouth wide open.

Lu Zheng's expression remained calm as he quickly sheathed his sword. He then took a step and leaped high into the air.

The wolf demon originally pounced from the mountain, looking down from above with an imposing presence.

However, Lu Zheng jumped several feet higher than the wolf demon.

Lu Zheng raised his hand and clenched his fist, then punched out with a powerful and domineering punch that sounded like a tiger's roar.

The wolf demon didn't expect that Lu Zheng had hidden his strength and could have such skills.

It was too big and had no time to dodge in the air. It could only raise its legs and swing its claws towards Lu Zheng to block Lu Zheng's punch.

A fist and a palm collided, and suddenly a dull sound was heard.

The wolf demon was hit hard and felt a sharp pain in his front leg. He felt like his entire leg was about to break.

Could a scholar have such great strength? The wolf demon was shocked.

It fell to the ground, its right front paw bent, and it was in so much pain that it didn't dare to step on the ground.

Lu Zheng took advantage of the situation and launched another punch filled with righteous energy, hitting the wolf demon's face hard.

The wolf demon had just landed when he was punched in the face again.

Its head tilted and several fangs flew out of its mouth.

"you……"

The wolf demon had just opened his mouth when he was punched again. The righteous energy entered his body and burned his meridians, making him grimace in pain and tears welling up in his eyes.

Lu Zheng continued to use the Tiger Subduing Fist, treating the big wolf demon as a sandbag.

After a few punches, the wolf demon was seeing stars, his head was dizzy and he could not stand steadily.

Lu Zheng turned and stepped on the wolf demon, stabbed his sword into its neck, and asked coldly: "Where are your companions?"
