28 Caught off guard (1/2)

As night fell, Ren Xiaosu felt that his life was starting to get better. At this moment, he was staring at the ten gratitude tokens that he had accumulated inside the palace. He was thinking about how great it would be if he could unlock the weapon soon.

Yan Liuyuan was sleeping soundly next to him. During the afternoon class, the students wanted Ren Xiaosu to share more of his stories about the wolves due to the recent incident in town. For example, they wanted to know what they should do or how they could escape if they ever encountered a wolf pack.

However, Ren Xiaosu did not want to talk about this and continued sharing his knowledge of wilderness survival with the students. He felt that if there came a day that these children encountered wolves in the wilderness, they were more likely to perish than anything. The physical differences between humans and today's beasts ensured such an outcome. That was not something that he could help with by teaching them.

Rather than teaching them how to hunt and kill wild animals, it was better to teach them how to find food and water to preserve their lives if they did not encounter the wolves.

Being killed by the wolves was a kind of helplessness. But if they starved to death, that would be too unworthy.

Most unforgivable was not that the contents of the lecture were not to the expectations of the students, but that Ren Xiaosu held the class behind to give the lesson. This led the students becoming aggravated with him. They even went home and complained to their parents.

But what the students did not know was that while they did not dare to provoke Ren Xiaosu, their parents were also afraid of doing so.

All of a sudden, Ren Xiaosu heard an unusual noise coming from behind the yard's wall. The person who made that sound seemed to be extremely cautious about something. However, someone like Ren Xiaosu, who had often survived out in the wilderness, had to be alert to any sound or movement. He might die if he wasn't.

He immediately blew out the kerosene lamp in the room and quietly made his way into the yard.

Ren Xiaosu hid at the bottom of the wall and carefully listened to the movements on the other side.

He heard someone leap onto the wall from outside. That person grabbed the top of the wall with their hands and then pulled themselves up with both hands before finally leaping over the wall and into the yard.

While still in midair, the man looked down at the ground and happened to spot Ren Xiaosu, who was sizing him up with a curious look.

the next second, he saw Ren Xiaosu fall into a squat and draw his arms back. It was as though he was gathering up all of his strength before letting it burst!

He threw a punch that could split a mountain apart, aiming it straight at the crotch of the uninvited guest! The uninvited guest tried to dodge the attack. He was quite skillful and could easily counter the danger by putting his knees together and using them to strike Ren Xiaosu.

But Ren Xiaosu was much quicker than he expected

”Wait… ahhh!” The uninvited guest lost his balance and fell to the ground in pain. He clutched his privates and chuffed in agony.

At this moment, footfalls thudded from outside. It seemed like more than one person had come. Ren Xiaosu looked calmly at the person who was lying on the ground. He could not tell the identity of the person from his attire.

A second later, another two figures jumped in.

”Wait… ahhh!”

”Fuck!”

Another two people were left rolling on the ground.

Ren Xiaosu frowned. If he had to give an assessment of their skills, it was probably just average. But if he were blunt, these people would not even last one round against him.

Someone knocked on the front door. A familiar voice said, ”Open up.”

Ren Xiaosu remembered this voice. It was the officer who had led the private army to search the entire town.

Suddenly, he realized that these people were from the stronghold's private army. However, Ren Xiaosu could not understand why these people were so weak.

In reality, they weren't weak. Although the stronghold's private troops often neglected their training, normal people couldn't deal with them so easily.
