Chapter 18 Dialogue between Man and Wolf

Lu Yuan rubbed his eyes and felt that he couldn't be so depressed anymore.

He moved the 50-jin fish he had just caught onto a modified cart, and then carried his backpack full of weapons and walked slowly towards the distance.

The old wolf followed behind with a few female wolves, step by step.

Occasionally, he used his claws to dig at the big black fish.

Old man, why don't you let us enjoy such a big fish?

My wives are pregnant and need nutritional supplements.

"You can't touch it, I'm going to offer it to the King of Hell."

After walking for more than two hours, they arrived at the dry canyon where the fire lizard was.

At the edge of the canyon, he dug a large deep pit, in which were inserted sharp steel spears and a net bag woven with vines.

On the wooden mast at the edge of the pit, there were even two 300-jin boulders hanging!

These boulders were carried from afar by Lu Yuan with all his strength, plus the power of several wolves.

The strongest part of human beings is not their physique, but their wisdom.

With his strength, it is impossible to lift a 300-jin boulder to a height of 10 meters, but with the help of a pulley, a lot of effort can be saved.

A movable pulley can save half of the effort.

If two movable pulleys are used, 3/4 of the effort can be saved; if three movable pulleys are used, 7/8 of the effort can be saved.

But that's all.

Limited by the manufacturing process and material level, he can no longer lift a larger boulder.

"It's almost here, the opponent I want to challenge..." Lu Yuan muttered to himself, looking into the distance.

"Ah!" The old wolf suddenly bit Lu Yuan's trouser leg, his eyes sharpened, indicating that he couldn't move forward anymore.

Lu Yuan pulled a few times, trying to break free.

"Ah~"

The old wolf bit hard, roaring at Lu Yuan fiercely, expressing the huge danger ahead.

The fire lizard, with its huge momentum like the abyss, stimulated the nerves of every wolf, making them nervous.

Even the female wolves were constantly wandering around, with their hair standing up.

That was the absolute crushing of the superior over the inferior.

Any creature that was slightly smarter would not dare to cross the line.

"Old buddy, you don't understand. You can eat and sleep, sleep and eat, stay at home and have children every day, but I can't." Lu Yuan pointed to his temple, "I have to find some hope for myself."

"Seeking extraordinary power is my only pursuit."

"If I can't find it, I can't go home. I will go crazy if I stay here all the time." He described his mentality at the moment in a light tone.

The old wolf raised his head and looked at his master.

It found that the master was different from the first time they met.

When they first met, Lu Yuan actually didn't have much murderous intent. He looked harmless to people and animals, just like a sheep eating grass.

So it dared to follow from a distance.

At that time, the old wolf was really at the end of his rope. What else could he do if he didn't beg?

At this moment, Lu Yuan's face was thin and looked a little haggard.

There was a cold light in his eyes.

That was a disregard for life, not even cherishing his own life.

His skin was tanned by the sun, calluses grew on his hands, and scars were distributed on the back of his hands, just like the scratches made by a knife.

This was the result of long-term labor.

If it met Lu Yuan now, it would definitely not dare to beg with him.

"Actually, I want to lie down every day, like you, and do nothing..."

"This idea is growing day by day, from thinking about it for a while when I get up every day, to thinking about it every hour, every few minutes."

"I feel that life has lost its fun."

"If I can stab the dagger into my heart cleanly, it can be regarded as ending my absurd life."

Lu Yuan paused, and his cold eyes reflected the dim sunlight: "So, no matter what, I have to challenge it once. For myself!"

The wolf and the man looked at each other.

The old wolf was still ferocious, with wrinkles on his nose, and an expression of "Are you going to die?"

Lu Yuan was expressionless.

In less than a minute, the old wolf felt the strong will of his master and opened his mouth obediently.

Lu Yuan touched the wolf's head and sighed.

He couldn't remember when he started to like talking to himself; nor did he know when he realized that his vitality was losing.

This loss of vitality was not on the physical level, but on the spiritual level.

He began to not care about his appearance, and he was too lazy to brush his teeth and wash his face. He didn't care what food he ate today - he wanted to eat a good one at first, but now he didn't care so much.

He didn't even care about his own life, as if nothing could arouse his passion.

Only the company of the old wolf and a few female wolves gave him a little comfort.

Without them, he might have gone crazy a long time ago.

"It's been a hundred days, and it's time to tidy up your appearance. Even if you really go to hell, you won't be so ugly."

Lu Yuan took out a pair of scissors, cut his hair short, and shaved his beard "sssssss".

He shaved very carefully, like a farewell ceremony.

In his eyes, the world is crawling with lice called "loneliness", which cannot be avoided or escaped.

He was already covered with lice all over his body, and only his two eyeballs were barely bright.

He wanted to recite a poem to add some atmosphere, but he lost interest in the end.

Lu Yuan took out another bottle of animal oil from the storage space, which contained precious spider venom glands.

He picked up the spider venom glands with a sharp knife, and stuffed the entire knife along the fish's mouth and into the fish's abdomen.

Then he used this bottle of oil to completely wipe the tip of each spear.

After doing all this, there was no other work.

…

"Let's go."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, pushed the car, and slowly stepped into the territory of the fire lizard.

The old wolf wandered anxiously outside the canyon.

It just looked from a distance and didn't dare to come in, and didn't even dare to howl.

This car was modified by Lu Yuan himself. The tires were large and made of waste rubber, so it could pass through slightly bumpy roads.

However, many places were rusted, and the bearings were a little deformed, so it couldn't run very fast.

This path has been visited many times, and there are no particularly high rock drops.

Lu Yuan saw the clouds on the horizon, which were fish-scale clouds in the sky. Does it mean it might rain today? God is as black humorous as always. If he died, he would pretend to cry for a few times.

In the quiet canyon, the sun shone on the waxy yellow stone, reflecting withered spots.

And the big fish lay quietly on the car.

The eyeballs were not sunken yet, and they looked fresh.

The tires scraped over the stones, making a "click" sound.
