Chapter 193 His Courage Mounted As The Fight Progressed

Apart from chirping birds, singing bugs, and the sound of the wind, no other sound could be heard in the dense forest.

Nonetheless, the quieter it was, the more alert Ou Yangming and his companions were.

Ou Yangming focused and inhaled deeply before he slowly uttered, “Giant wolf.”

Once he stopped, He Liangce and Ni Yinghong had already covered each other and were near him. The two of them looked at each other in confusion.

A giant wolf was not a rare being like the devil ape, after all, and its kind had lived in the dense forest for many generations.

Although a giant wolf’s combat power was distinctive such that an ordinary Yin Grade martial artist would also feel troubled, how could the three of them be compared to a normal martial artist?

Not to mention Ou Yangming and He Liangce, even if Ni Yinghong was not equipped with any piece of equipment, he could handle a giant wolf on her own.

“Kill it or drive it away. We must hurry on, so we can’t stop,” He Liangce instructed with a deep voice.

“I can’t,” Ou Yangming responded without any hesitation.

“Why?”

“Because there’s more than one giant wolf.”

He Liangce was slightly stunned. “Don’t giant wolves travel alone? Is there a pair of them?”

“More… Than that,” Ou Yangming answered with a bitter smile.

“Lil’ Ming, how many are there?” Ni Yinghong was rather displeased. “You’re not someone who likes to keep people guessing.”

Ou Yangming twitched his mouth and replied to her, “At least a hundred of them, and they’re resting ahead.”

He Liangce and Ni Yinghong were instantly speechless.

None of them would attach any importance to the matter if there was only one giant wolf in front. Besides, they could drive it away if they were afraid of drawing attention due to the smell of blood, but if there were more than a hundred giant wolves…

The three of them looked at each other and could tell that they all wanted to back out.

“Go around them.” He Liangce sighed.

After Ou Yangming displayed his great pathfinding ability, He Liangce trusted him fully without a doubt. “Okay… Oh no, quickly escape!” Ou Yangming had planned to go around the wolves too, but his face suddenly changed, and he warned the rest. Following that, Ou Yangming reached out his hand and pulled Ni Yinghong, then he ran swiftly back to where they came from.

He Liangce was startled, but he followed them and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“They noticed us, and they’re pursuing us now!”

Sure enough, wolf howls soon filled the air. The howls were shrill and creepy, causing their blood to run cold.

“Our luck… Ah, the road to our destination is full of hards.h.i.+ps.” He Liangce had a grim look on his face. Though he was also running away as fast as he could, he subconsciously stayed a bit behind to protect Ni Yinghong.

Ni Yinghong glanced at him. An unplanned small gesture could usually reflect a person’s real character.

It was true that He Liangce’s action was enough to move anyone, but unfortunately… Ni Yinghong smiled happily when she looked at the young man who was running while holding her hand in front of her.

Ou Yangming stopped abruptly in front of a big tree after 15 minutes, and he uttered as he looked up at the dense branches. “Go up there!”

“What?” Ni Yinghong was dumbfounded. “Lil Ming, giant wolves can climb trees!”

“Don’t worry, they can’t!” Ou Yangming a.s.sured her proudly.

Ni Yinghong looked deeply at him, then she flashed and jumped up.

She would not be indecisive during this crucial moment, so she decided to trust the young man. “Giant wolves have extremely high endurance, so it’s indeed not worthwhile to contend foot strength with them.” He Liangce sighed when he saw Ni Yinghong climbing up the tree. He fluttered his sleeves and closed his folding fan. “I’ll guard down here, so I’ll need your help if a few of them manage to get past me and climb up the tree.”

Despite that, Ou Yangming laughed and expressed, “Brother He, you stole the show when you covered for us earlier. This time, let me do it!”

He swung his military saber and said, “Go up there. If any of them escapes through my saber, please protect Elder Sister Ying.”

“You?” He Liangce was undecided for a while before he agreed. “Okay, I’ll take over after half an hour.” He then jumped up the tree and stood on a huge branch to protect Ni Yinghong.

On the other hand, Ou Yangming turned around and wielded his military saber, which shone in a peculiar light.

He had attached the 2 Points of Devouring attributes on his military saber earlier when he escaped. He was full of killing intent at the moment, and his aura was truly appalling.

On the tree, He Liangce was struck with a strange thought when he looked at Ou Yangming.

‘Perhaps Ou Yangming really has something to rely on to have boasted just now.’

“Awooo…”
