Chapter 370: Chapter 371 Arriving at Beiliang

...

Time flashed by.

Two days later.

Ye Wudao stood still, holding a map.

In front of him lay the desert, the solitary smoke rising vertically, and the river setting with the round sun—an ancient and desolate land.

"According to the map, Bei Liang should be right ahead!" Ye Wudao murmured to himself.

As he spoke, a military green off-road vehicle suddenly came into view, kicking up a sky full of sand.

Woosh!

An army green off-road vehicle stopped, and several soldiers armed with guns surrounded Ye Wudao.

At that moment, an officer with a mutton chop beard got out of the car. A battle saber was strapped to his waist as he said coldly, "Who are you? This is the Bei Liang war zone, a restricted area!"

"Looking at how young this kid is, could he be a spy?"

"Boss, let’s capture him first and interrogate him when we get back!" the soldiers suggested one after another.

Ye Wudao hurriedly explained, "You’re mistaken, I’m no spy. I’m from Dragon Country!"

"Search him!" the mutton chop bearded officer ordered.

Soon enough, several gun-wielding soldiers approached to search Ye Wudao.

"Boss, this kid has nothing on him!"

"All he has is a knife!"

"Doesn’t seem like a spy!"

The mutton chop bearded officer immediately lowered his guard and laughed, "Are you here for tourism? I’ve met quite a few travelers from other places before, but they all underestimated Bei Liang’s harsh weather. It’s about to get dark, and nights in Bei Liang are very dangerous, with extreme temperature changes and the presence of wolf packs!"

Ye Wudao shook his head, "I’m not here to travel!"

Feeling curious, the mutton chop bearded officer asked, "Then what are you doing in Bei Liang?"

"Enlisting!" Ye Wudao responded.

What?

The mutton chop bearded officer burst out laughing upon hearing this, said, "Haha, kid, you’re not kidding, are you?"

"No!"

"Young man, I understand your desire to enlist and serve the country! However, this year’s recruitment in Bei Liang has already ended. Go back home," the mutton chop bearded officer advised. "Little Six, drive the military vehicle to the nearest station to our Bei Liang. If he doesn’t have money, give him a ticket, and the cost will come from my salary."

"Yes, Boss!" A soldier named Little Six nodded and asked Ye Wudao with a smile, "Brother, where are you from?"

"Capital City!" Ye Wudao replied.

"Capital City, tsk, that’s incredibly far, at least three thousand kilometers! It must have cost a lot to come here, right?" Little Six remarked.

"No, I walked here," Ye Wudao said casually.

Whoosh!

These words caused a stir like a stone thrown into a pond!

"Walked here?" The mutton chop bearded officer was utterly astonished.

"Yes, I walked on my two feet," Ye Wudao nodded in confirmation.

"Boss, this kid’s got to be full of bullcrap, right?"

"It’s thousands of kilometers from Capital City to our Bei Liang!"

"Judging by his appearance, which shows no signs of travel weariness, I don’t believe it!"

"Boss, didn’t you say you could read people and understand their eyes? Have a look," the soldiers contested.

The mutton chop bearded officer stared intently at Ye Wudao and said, "He’s not lying!"

Just as he spoke, the sound of wolves howling filled the air!

Roar!

Roar!

Suddenly, hundreds of wolves appeared in the desert, their eyes red as they circled the group.

"Sand wolves!"

"My God, there are hundreds of them!" cried the soldiers, their faces grave.

"What’s that?" Ye Wudao inquired.

"These are sand wolves, very ferocious! They’re one of the top ten most dangerous animals in the desert. They live in packs and fight fiercely, without fear of death. Every month, we lose over a dozen soldiers to their claws," the mutton chop bearded officer explained while drawing his saber, "Brothers, prepare for battle!"

Roar!

Roar!

The sand wolves charged towards the people frantically.

Bang!

Bang!

The young soldiers fired continuously, taking down several sand wolves instantly.

After a round of gunfire, more than a dozen sand wolves lay dead.

"Thought you could be arrogant?"

"We’re almost out of bullets!"

"Good thing this pack of beasts retreated, otherwise if they launched another attack, we’d be in real danger!" the young soldiers laughed. Suddenly, their pupils shrank abruptly, "Boss, your... your back..."

The mutton chop bearded officer turned his head only to see a huge one-eyed wolf, two meters tall, charging at him ferociously with incredible speed!

"Damn it, it’s the one-eyed wolf king!" The color drained from the mutton chop bearded officer’s face.

"Protect the boss, shoot now!" A soldier fired madly, hitting the one-eyed wolf king.

Roar!

Yet the one-eyed wolf king seemed unfazed by the bullets, its ferocity only inflamed, as it leaped high into the air with claws as sharp as knife edges, lunging for the mutton chop bearded officer’s neck!

One strike to the throat!

"It’s over!" The mutton chop bearded officer sensed the danger of death, shivering.

Seeing this, Ye Wudao’s eyes flashed with an icy gleam, and he abruptly swung his knife!

Swish!

A flash of the blade passed.

Bang!

The massive one-eyed wolf king fell onto the mutton chop bearded officer, pressing down on him heavily.

"Boss!"

"No, don’t die!" the young soldiers cried out.

"Cough, cough, I... I’m not dead!" a weak voice from the mutton chop bearded officer was heard.

"What, the Boss isn’t dead?"

"No, that’s impossible, right?" everyone was in shock.

"Don’t just stand there, you damn brats, I’m being crushed to death by this wolf here, hurry up and help me!" the mutton chop bearded officer urged.

Quickly, the young soldiers helped lift the one-eyed wolf king off the mutton chop bearded officer.

"Phew!" The mutton chop bearded officer exhaled in relief and then turned his gaze to the dead one-eyed wolf king beside him, his pupils contracting suddenly.

"Good heavens, what’s that?"

They saw a horrific and ferocious gash across the belly of the one-eyed wolf king, even the iron-hard spine of the wolf had been tragically pierced, a testament to the terrifying force of the strike.

"Gulp!" The mutton chop bearded officer swallowed hard, his gaze shifting to Ye Wudao holding the knife.

"Who exactly are you?"
