Chapter 267: One Man and One Wolf Set Out Together
Knowing clearly that something was wrong, Ji Mo could not help but tap his feet lightly and flew after the figure under the tree who looked at him coldly and then chased after the person in front.

When they got closer, they found that the wolf below was in a bit abnormal condition. It looked ferocious, but its front limbs were a little uncoordinated, as if it was injured. It attacked bravely, but gradually showed signs of decline. Even so, Black Whirlwind was also unusually ferocious. He fell down again and again, and got up again and again, and attacked decisively and cruelly.

Ouch ow ow...

The person who was caught saw that he could not escape, so he fought ruthlessly to stay alive.

"Ah, you bastard, I'm going to fight you..." He roared, pulled out the kitchen knife from his waist and chopped at the figure that was rushing towards him again.

Ever since he went out to look for his master and was separated from his uncle, and then he escaped victoriously with his uncle and brother, Black Whirlwind, with injured eyes and legs, has been moving forward alone all the way and never gave up looking for people. Not long ago, he had the bad luck to meet a group of ruthless people who wanted to kill him for his meat. If it hadn't been for his scheming and fighting spirit to hunt them down one by one, he would have died long ago.

But even so, after fighting for so long, it is already at the end of its strength.

He dodged the kick but failed to avoid the knife. At this moment, Black Whirlwind was in despair. He subconsciously looked at the familiar figure hidden in the darkness on the tree and let out a wail.

Ouch!
Ji Mo, who was within reach, paused, his hands were faster than his brain. When the opponent's kitchen knife chopped towards Black Whirlwind's waist, Ji Mo moved, picking flowers and leaves, and the leaves in his hand shot out with invisible evil spirit. Ye Feng instantly bounced off the falling blade, and the man holding the knife was also bounced out.

The man fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and looked around in fear, "Who? Who's there?"

Ji Mo did not respond, and Black Whirlwind, who had avoided the fatal blow, took advantage of the enemy's weakness and pounced on him following the sound, biting his throat hard.

"what!"

A shrill scream broke the silence of the night. When Ji Mo fell from the tree, the man was already dead, but Ji Mo just glanced at him indifferently and walked towards the figure lying on the ground gasping for breath.

"Black whirlwind?"

Ow.

"It's you!" But, "Why are you here? Where is your master?"

After eliminating the last enemy with ulterior motives, the Black Whirlwind, who had successfully taken revenge, was exhausted. He lay on the ground, unable to respond to Ji Mo. Tears and blood filled his injured eyes, and he just stared at the familiar figure approaching him.

Ji Mo sighed and laughed at himself, "Ha! Never mind, it's just a wolf, how can I expect it to reply to me." He was too concerned and confused.

Ji Mo pinched his brows, with worry in his eyes.

The only response he got was the wheezing sound of Black Whirlwind's heavy breathing.

Since it was a familiar wolf, he had to save it. Noticing that the black whirlwind in front of him was gradually weakening, Ji Mo hurriedly took out a fire starter and blew it to light it in preparation for treatment.

Even though he was mentally prepared, when he saw the black whirlwind clearly in front of him, Ji Mo's heart was still shaken.

The wolf in front of him was half blind, his left front hoof was bent and deformed, his body was soaked in blood and dirt, his fur was black and scabby, and his fur was mottled. How could he still be the mighty and majestic wolf with shiny silver fur?

No wonder I couldn't recognize it before. I just thought it was a black wolf. It was so badly injured...

Ji Mo did not dare to delay. He held the fire lighter in one hand and used all the golden needles in the other hand to try his best to save the patient. While he was doing so, he felt heavy in his heart.

If he had comforted himself before that the person in trouble must not be the little girl and that he was just overthinking, now seeing Black Whirlwind in such a state, Ji Mo's heart sank to the bottom.

However, no matter how anxious he was, Ji Mo was as steady as ever, working from dusk till dawn, applying golden needles, removing dead flesh, bandaging wounds, and curing lame legs. Everything was in an orderly manner, fighting against the God of Death for his life. The only regret he had was that he had rushed all the way just to find someone, and he didn't have enough medicine on him.

"This is the only way for now. On the next leg, I'll find some good medicine for you." After treating the last wound neatly, Ji Mo rubbed Black Whirlwind's drooping head, put away his equipment, and without minding that Black Whirlwind was dirty, he picked him up, and the man and the wolf set off again.

Carrying the burden and looking for medicine for it along the way, Ji Mo's progress was greatly slowed down. He was anxious, but because he couldn't leave Black Whirlwind behind, Ji Mo could only speed up the progress while collecting as much information as possible.

During the period, they were lucky enough to meet a group of refugees pushing carts. Ji Mo spent ten taels of silver to buy a cart, which freed his hands and allowed him to push Black Whirlwind further north.

When passing through a populated town or village and encountering a pharmacy, Ji Mo would not miss the opportunity to buy some food there.

Just like this, there was a man and a wolf. One had good medical skills and his medicine was powerful; the other wolf was strong and recovered quickly.

Several days later, Ji Mo learned the specific news about Fengzhou City from the refugees passing by.

"Brother, I heard there's a drought in the north. Is that true?"

"That's right. It's a pity that the flood of the Zhuo River was so big that it didn't alleviate the drought in the north at all. It's difficult!"

"Alas, everyone has a hard time in this world. This big flood has taken away countless lives... It's tragic!"

"Speaking of floods, brother, hasn't the water receded? And the Shen family army is sealing off the city and everything is safe. Why are you still running away?"

"Hey, let's not talk about it. The flood has receded, and Fengzhou City is being rebuilt. But who can blame the barbarians? They are said to be gathering to cause trouble again. General Shen can't even look for his most important friends anymore. He only left a team of soldiers to continue the search. The army withdrew from Fengzhou City the day before yesterday. As for why they fled? We were also scared by the siege before. To be on the safe side, it's safer to go to the south."

"Oh, no, no..."

The conversations of the refugees continued to reach the ears of the man and the wolf. Ji Mo was anxious and scolded the little girl's so-called friend Shen Yue.

The Black Whirlwind was no less capable. Being able to understand human language, it knew that there was still no news from its master. Not caring that its leg injury had not healed and its eyes were still half blind, it grabbed the hem of Ji Mo's clothes and dragged him towards the Turbid River, howling as it did so.

Ji Mo laughed and couldn't help patting the big wolf's head which he had washed with great difficulty.

"Good whirlwind, your master loves you, and I took the trouble to pull you back from the underworld. You are also worried about your master, right? Let's set off now and look for your master along the Zhuohe River?"

Ow ooh.

"Okay, okay, you are a good wolf. Be good. I don't believe that we can't find a little girl just by ourselves."

What answered Ji Mo was Black Whirlwind's wolf howls, which became more and more urgent.

Since there was no news from Fengzhou City and even the people who were looking for people had withdrawn, they simply decided not to go there. Ji Mo looked at the map and decided to take the shortest route straight to Zhuohe River, which would save time.

Black Whirlwind also agreed with Ji Mo's opinion. In order to save time, the man and the wolf went straight to the bank of the Turbid River. Thinking of the information they knew, Shen Yue's men had been searching on the south bank and had not found them. After Black Whirlwind reached the shore, he kept howling at the north bank. Subconsciously, Ji Mo decided to cross the river and search carefully on the north bank.

Of course, Black Whirlwind strongly agreed with this decision, and his howls became three points more vigorous than usual.

But after the flood, the whole place was in a mess. Not to mention the boatmen who ferry people across the river, even the sheepskin rafts that were easy to find at the mouth of the Zhuo River were nowhere to be seen.

It is impossible to wait.

Ji Mo brought Black Whirlwind to a narrower place at the river mouth. He abandoned his elegant demeanor and held a wolf in one hand and a bamboo pole in the other.

He threw the bamboo pole with his own strength, and the pole broke through the water and moved forward. Ji Mo followed closely with the black whirlwind and flew up, crossing the bamboo pole across the river. One man, one wolf, and one reed crossed the river.
