Abandoned house

The magical trajectory of life, the magical way of development—Lin Feng felt that he had encountered miraculous events recently, and from the real world to the dream plane, nothing had unfolded according to the normal script.

Now, he was riding on the back of a nearly human-sized black giant wolf, galloping swiftly across a mysterious grassland. Above his head were two bright white moons and an unfamiliar, splendid Milky Way. In the distance was a horizon that did not belong to Earth. Passing by his side were unknown exotic wild grasses. The night wind blew, the vastness of the heavens and the earth, all of this gave a sense of vast and mysterious awe. Riding on the back of the wolf, traversing the grassland, a visitor from a different world, Lin Feng himself felt that this was at least a dozen plus in terms of chic value.

If only he wasn't wearing pajamas...

The biting cold wind blew in his face. If it were Lin Feng's body from before, by now he would probably have been blown senseless, possibly even half-frozen to death. But now, he was a changed man, not to mention being superhuman, at the very least, he was strengthened. Facing this low temperature was nothing to him. He just subconsciously tightened the clothes in front with one hand, and with the other, grabbed the black hard fur on the back of the wolf king's neck, yelling loudly in the strong wind, "I say... How big is this grassland really?"

"Very big, very big!" The wolf king's voice was equally loud, "I don't know how you humans measure things, but my wolf pack and I ran for seven days and seven nights without seeing the edge of the grassland! I heard that there are human settlements outside the grassland, but they rarely come here."

"What is this world like... I mean, the human kingdoms you know?" When Lin Feng heard the words "human kingdoms," his interest was piqued. In this dream plane, the appearance of another human civilization was quite incredible to him. He was very curious about what the humans in this world were like. "Have you been there? Do you know how to get there?"

"I haven't been there, it's too dangerous." The wolf king's pace slowed slightly, as if to speak more conveniently, "Your humans are too cunning, and you kill and eat everything! Even the earth dragons have been eaten to extinction by you. I'm not going to deliver meat! Speaking of which, aren't you also a human? Why are you asking about these things?"

"I come from a different direction." Lin Feng casually made up a story, "The world is vast!"

The wolf king didn't say anything, apparently accepting this explanation. Lin Feng, on the other hand, felt a bit emotional. These articulate beasts were quite intelligent, but they still didn't have as many tricks up their sleeves as humans. The wolf king seemed to have no inclination to consider conspiracy and deception, or perhaps it was just too lazy to think about such things—in the wolf king's worldview, as long as it didn't affect its meat-eating, there was no need to consider anything, including where this "two-legged creature" came from and where it was going. It was all meaningless to it. The wolf king just asked casually and then forgot about it.

These strange giant beasts were quite straightforward. Although Lin Feng had just fought with them, once it was confirmed that Lin Feng was not food, and that this guy could fight better than them, the wolf pack seemed to immediately forget about the previous battle. Even now, the wolf king was letting Lin Feng ride on its back—although it didn't look very happy, there was some fear of Lin Feng's iron fist, but this was enough to illustrate the straightforwardness of these guys: as long as it couldn't be eaten, don't provoke it; as long as you can't beat it, be obedient. These were their only two principles.

Although it felt a bit lacking in backbone, Lin Feng had already met a more face-losing Cloud Sea Sect, so he was quite accepting of this fact, finding this wolf king rather... adorable.

When the several human houses were very close, with just a few minutes left before they would arrive, Lin Feng suddenly remembered something, "By the way, a few days ago, I also encountered a group of wolves here. Wasn't that your group?"

"You were here a few days ago?" The wolf king was surprised, "I haven't seen you. My wolf pack and I have been living nearby, but you are the only human we've seen in the past thirty-five days and nights."

These wolves also had a concept of time and date, and they knew that humans had methods of recording years and months and the like, but they felt that these methods were awkward, so they preferred to record time by directly noting day and night. Anyway, the wolves didn't have to consider farming like humans did, nor did they have to consider historical inheritance. As long as they knew when winter was coming, recording time in this way was enough.

"You haven't seen me?" Lin Feng felt that such a straightforward guy wouldn't lie to him, "Then are there other wolf packs here?"

"There are a few wandering small groups. Our territory intersects with theirs, and there are some places in between that we can't keep an eye on, so occasionally some ignorant fellows run around." The wolf king's voice sounded a bit dissatisfied, "Those are dumb fools that can't speak, they can't even think, they're even weaker and smaller than my pack, so they can only be my vassals—unfortunately, they are a group of disobedient vassals."

The wolf king shook his head, "When those guys are extremely hungry, they will even come to my territory to steal food, and they can only communicate with primitive howls. It's strange, why are they so stupid even though they are also wolves?"

Lin Feng listened attentively, not answering, but silently remembering this peculiar situation.

There were still many mysteries in the dream plane, but now he knew that there were two types of wolves here—one could speak, intelligent like humans, and the other seemed to be primitive wild animals. There was no difference in appearance between these two types of wolves.

Why was that? Lin Feng did not think this was a normal result of evolution, but considering that this place was called the dream plane, perhaps nothing should be surprised too early.

Moreover, there were traces of human activity on the grassland, and it was said that there were huge human kingdoms outside the grassland (the wolf king called them human "communities"). In this strange place... how many more mysteries were waiting to be revealed?

The wolf king kept his promise and brought Lin Feng to the front of those few houses.

"You're here, now I'm going to lead my wolf pack away." The wolf king put Lin Feng down and stretched lazily, "Really uncomfortable, this is the first time I've carried something so heavy. If I could beat you, I would definitely make you carry me the same distance."

"Thanks." Lin Feng scratched his head, feeling more and more that this wolf king was very interesting, "Perhaps there will be a chance to meet again. I will wander around here for a while. If there is anything you need help with, just let me know."

The wolf king was indeed very straightforward. Upon hearing this, he immediately

 nodded, then pointed with his mouth at a few miserable fellows behind him, covered in blood, "Yes, my few subordinates have lost their teeth and can't eat in the future, they will starve to death, but our pack does not abandon companions, so I need to set aside a few wolves to prepare food for them. Can you help solve this problem?"

Lin Feng really didn't expect to see the straightforward side of the black wolf so soon. He thought for a moment, sweating on his forehead, and reached for the data terminal, "Can you repair teeth?"

"Hehe, this machine is just a PDA, not Doraemon!" 

"Well, I know a veterinarian..." Lin Feng wiped his forehead sweat, "And she would be happy to treat you. If I can find a way to bring her in... I mean, bring her over, I will definitely have her figure out a way to fix the teeth of these few."

"Okay, human, I remember your promise." The wolf king nodded, "It seems that you humans are not very trustworthy, so I'll just take this as a psychological comfort. Goodbye, I hope we don't fight next time we meet."

With these words, the wolf king led his wolf pack and ran swiftly towards the distance, disappearing in an instant on the vast grassland.

"Psychological comfort..." Lin Feng was dumbfounded, muttering to himself, "... The heartless are the true gentlemen, the black-bellied ruler is honest, I have finally learned."

The data terminal exclaimed, "Wow! You even rhymed?"

Lin Feng casually took out the data terminal from his pocket and let it continue floating beside him, ignoring its protests, and walked towards the small house in front of him.

This was where the pastoralists had once lived, but as far as Lin Feng knew, nomadic tribes rarely built fixed houses in one place. They followed the water and grass, and for convenience in moving, they usually built tents or similar makeshift houses. But these small houses in front of him were not like that—it seemed that the people here had different living habits and their own way of solving problems they encountered in life.

When Lin Feng placed his hand on the door of the small house, the wind on the grassland suddenly became stronger.
