Chapter 18 Dialogue between man and wolf

Lu Yuan rubbed his eyes, feeling that he couldn't stay like this anymore.
He carried the 50-pound fish he had just caught onto a modified cart, then picked up his backpack full of weapons and walked slowly toward the distance.
The old wolf and several female wolves followed behind, following suit.
Occasionally, I would use my claws to dig up 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, that's what I want to offer to the Lord of Hell."
After walking like this for more than two hours, we arrived at the dry canyon where the salamander was.
At the edge of the canyon, he dug a large deep pit, in which sharp steel spears were inserted and a net bag woven with vines.
On the wooden mast at the edge of the pit, there were even two boulders weighing three hundred kilograms!
These huge rocks were carried from afar by Lu Yuan with all his efforts and with the strength of a few wolves.
The strongest thing about human beings is not their physical strength, but their intelligence.
With his strength, it is impossible to lift a three hundred kilogram boulder to a height of 10 meters, but as long as he uses the pulley, he can save a lot of effort.
A moving pulley can save half the force.
If two movable pulleys are used, 3/4 of the force can be saved; if three movable pulleys are used, 7/8 of the force can be saved.
But that's all.
Due to the limitations of manufacturing technology and materials, he could no longer lift larger boulders.
"We're almost here, the opponent I want to challenge..." Lu Yuan murmured to himself and looked into the distance.
"Ouch!" The old wolf suddenly bit Lu Yuan's trouser leg, his eyes became sharp, indicating that he could not move forward any further.
Lu Yuan tugged a few times, trying to break free.
"Ouch~"
The old wolf bit hard and roared fiercely at Lu Yuan, expressing the huge danger ahead.
The abyss-like majesty of the Salamander stimulated the nerves of every wolf, making them nervous.
Even the female wolves kept wandering around, their fur standing on end.
That is the absolute crushing of the superior over the inferior.
No matter how smart a creature is, they will not dare to cross the thunder pool.
"Old man, you don't understand. You can eat, sleep, eat, and stay home every day to have children, 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. If I stay here all the time, I will go crazy." He described his state of mind at this moment in an understatement.
The old wolf raised his head and looked at his master.
It discovered that its owner was different from when they first met.
When we first met, Lu Yuan actually didn't have any murderous intent. At first glance, he looked harmless to humans and animals, just like a sheep eating grass.
That's why it dared to follow from afar.
At that time, the old wolf was really at the end of his rope. What could he do if he didn't beg?
At this moment, Lu Yuan's face was thin and he looked a little haggard.
There was an indifferent light in his eyes.
That is a disregard for life, not even cherishing your own life that much.
The skin all over his body was tanned by the sun, calluses grew on his hands, and there were scars on the back of his hands, like scratches made by a knife.
This is the result of long-term hard work.
If it met the current Lu Yuan, it would never dare to beg.
"Actually, I want to lie down every day, lie down like you guys and do nothing..."
"This kind of thinking is increasing day by day. It has evolved from thinking about it for a while when I get up every day to thinking about it every hour and every few minutes."
"I feel like life has no fun anymore."
"If I could insert the dagger into my heart cleanly, I would be able to end my absurd life."
Lu Yuan paused, his cold eyes reflecting the dim sunlight: "So, no matter what, I will challenge it once. For myself!"
The wolf and the man looked at each other.
The old wolf still looked ferocious, with wrinkles on his nose high and an expression of "Are you seeking death?"
Lu Yuan's face was expressionless.
In less than a minute, the old wolf felt his master's strong will and obediently relaxed his mouth.
Lu Yuan touched the wolf's head and sighed.
He couldn't remember when he started to like talking to himself alone; he didn't know when he realized that his vitality was losing.
This flow of vitality is not at the physical level, but at the spiritual level.
He began not to care about his appearance, he didn't even bother to brush his teeth and wash his face, and he didn't care about what food he ate today - at first he wanted to have a good bite, but now he doesn'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 small amount of comfort.
Without them, he might have gone crazy.
"It's been a hundred days. 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 off his beard.
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.
His whole body was covered with lice, and only two of his eyes were still barely bright.
I originally wanted to recite a poem to add some atmosphere, but in the end I lost interest.
Lu Yuan took out another bottle of animal oil from the storage space, which contained precious spider venom glands.
He used a sharp knife to lift up the spider's venom gland, and then inserted the entire knife into the fish's abdomen along the fish's mouth.
Then use this bottle of oil to completely wipe the tip of each spear.
After all this is done, there is no more work.

"Gone."
Lu Yuan took a deep breath, pushed the car, and slowly entered the Salamander's territory.
The old wolf was wandering anxiously outside the canyon.
It just looked from a distance and didn't dare to come in, not even howling.
This car was modified by Lu Yuan himself. The tires are very large and made of waste rubber. They can also pass on slightly bumpy roads.
However, many places are rusty and the bearings are still a little deformed, so it can'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. They were fish-scale clouds high in the sky, which meant it might rain today? God was as black and humorous as ever. If he died, he would pretend to cry a few times.
Inside the quiet canyon, the sunlight shines on the sallow meteorites, refracting withered spots.
And the big fish was lying quietly on the car.
The eyeballs haven't sunk in yet, so they are quite fresh.
The tires scraped against the stones, making a "click" sound.
Chapter completed!
