Chapter 121: Shock Without Danger (2/2)
All of a sudden, the bush wolf suddenly howled and made a motion to charge forward, as if it wanted to attack again, but then its next action was entirely out of Lu Xuan and company’s expectations. Its forward momentum was brought back and it immediately shifted backwards. It wanted to run away!
It wasn’t stupid. It knew that these people weren’t easy to handle. The one attack didn’t work and now it was thinking of escaping.
But how could Lu Xuan let it do as it wanted? It was a mere fourth level ferocious beast. If he let it escape, how could he kill even higher leveled ones? Rushing Thunder Flash circulated, and his body immediately appeared in front of the bush wolf. A sound of thunder rang as the Lovesick sword chopped down. It was the Thunder Light Sword Skill. To handle a guy of this speed, the Thunder Light Sword Skill was enough.
But at this moment, the situation was flipped. The bush that the bush wolf had just sprung out of, actually ruffled again and there was another figure that charged out of it. It’s target was Lin Xin Yi, who was in the very back!
The bush wolf just now was actually just bait. The wisdom of these ferocious beasts was too high. They actually also understood the concept of luring the tiger out of the mountains, make a feint to the east and attack in the west!
Xia Ye was shocked. Originally he should have been standing behind Lin Xin Yi, but just now he had thought there was no more danger and had walked to the front. He hadn’t thought there would be another enemy waiting in ambush.
Xing Feng reacted quickly. With a low shout, he immediately rushed towards Lin Xin Yi’s side. Unfortunately, the bush wolf originally relied on its speed to eat its meals, he had no way of making it in time.
Discovering that she had been targeted, Lin Xin Yi had a moment of panic, but immediately she recovered and calmed down. She swiped with the long sword in her hand, using the middle Huang grade martial skill, Flowing Water Sword Tactic.
Although her strength was the weakest in their group, that didn’t mean she was just a flower vase. These months, she had been staying with Lu Xuan every day. She had been imperceptibly influenced by what she saw and heard. In this situation, panicking was of no use, also, the bush wolf was only a fourth level ferocious beast. She was also body refining fourth level and wasn’t much weaker than it.
Because Lin Xin Yi timed her sword well, when this bush wolf charged over, it just managed to run into her long sword.
Lin Xin Yi didn’t try to hard block it. Flowing Water Sword Tactic’s strategy didn’t involve using raw strength. She simply moved her body back a bit then stirred her long sword. The bush wolf was actually sent upwards. With its forward momentum, Lin Xin Yi fiercely tossed it. There was a “bang” as the bush wolf was thrown onto the ground by her.
At this moment, Xing Feng finally arrived. Without hesitation he rushed forward and chopped down. Immediately, this ambushing bush wolf was split open at the stomach, directly killing it, ending the crisis. On the other side, Lu Xuan also had long since exterminated the bush wolf that had acted as bait. Overall, it had been a shock without danger.
“I was careless, otherwise Lin Xin Yi wouldn’t have encountered danger.” Xia Ye took the initiative to recognize his mistake. If he had been by Lin Xin Yi’s side just now, it wouldn’t have even required Xing Feng to make a move and try to make it in time.
“As long as you know your mistake, that’s enough. Don’t do it again next time. This is still the outer boundary and we only faced the attack of two bush wolves. If there had been another two, not only Xin Yi, even Xing Feng might have been injured.” Lu Xuan said with a straight face. For this kind of situation, even if their relationships were even better, Lu Xuan still wouldn’t speak mercifully, because who knew if at some time a small mistake would lead to personal injury, or even death.
“Forget it. Lu Xuan, don’t blame Xia Ye. I didn’t come just to spectate. A bit of annoyances naturally don’t require your guys’ help.” Lin Xin Yi said.
“It’s okay. Lu Xuan’s right. Fortunately it didn’t lead to a big mistake, otherwise, I really don’t have a good way of explaining to Uncle Lin.” Xia Ye bitterly smiled, “It seems like when my father said I was unsuited for going out, he hadn’t been wrong.”
He naturally wouldn’t feel aggrieved just because of Lu Xuan’s reprimand. He had made a mistake. Lu Xuan was only discussing it. If Lu Xuan actually didn’t say anything, then he wouldn’t be taking responsibility for their team.
Seeing that Xia Ye’s attitude was sincere, Lu Xuan gave a soft nod. His goal wasn’t to blame Xia Ye, only to have him remember the lesson from this time. After all, whatever they faced next time would be even stronger and with a larger quantity of enemies.
“Let’s store away the corpses of these bush wolves and go. In a while we can go back and see if there were any missions that required bush wolves. Even if a mosquito’s legs are smaller, it’s still meat.” Xing Feng spoke up. At the same time, he squatted down and stored the bush wolf that he had exterminated. Xia Ye then tossed the bush wolf that Lu Xuan had finished off into his storage ring.
(TN: Everything can be useful.)
After dealing with it, the team once again went forward. With the experiences from just now, they were even more vigilant, especially Xia Ye, who didn’t dare to relax. The first mistake could be forgiven. If there was a second occurrence of the same mistake, he, himself, wouldn’t be able to forgive himself. Also, he now understood that the things inside a book weren’t necessarily accurate. The book had said that bush wolves hunted alone, but in reality, just now the two bush wolves had worked together. In order to survive, practices could be completely changed.
