C39 (1/2)

Xiao Qian waved the long sword in his hand and met the wolf head-on. He spun it half a meter away from the wolf, and with his long arm holding onto the sword's hilt, he stabbed it into the wolf's throat.

The wolf whimpered in pain, still unwilling to let go of the food near its mouth. It opened its bloody mouth and roared at Su Zhi.

Ah!

That wolf head was only ten centimeters away from her, so she could clearly see its sharp, eerie white teeth.

”Aowu ~”

The thick smell of blood stimulated the beast's nerves. Seeing that the gray wolf was shackled, the other two wolves that had hidden themselves in the wild started to attack as well.

The two wolves pounced on Su Zhi at the same time. She was scared out of her wits. A chill ran up her spine as she instinctively ran towards the empty space at the side.

From time to time, the howls of the wild wolves could be heard behind him, like a series of death talismans, stabbing into one's ears.

But the wolf did not catch up quickly.

Xiao Qian protected her behind him and used his sword to make a path for her to escape.

Su Zhi did not dare to look back. She was clearly scared to death, but she was still worried about Xiao Qian's safety.

She forced herself to calm down. She had to think of a way to save Xiao Qian. A pair of him would definitely suffer a loss.

On the other side.

Xiao Qian was fighting with the three huge wolves. He thought that Su Zhi would have gone far, so he let go.

Ah!

Just as he relaxed his mind, the screams of a woman came from not too far away.

Xiao Qian panicked and used his Qing Gong to chase after her.

Originally, the mountain road was not steep and easy to walk on, so Su Zhi turned her foot in a hurry.

”Are you alright?”

”No ….” ”It's fine.”

Su Zhi gritted her teeth. She was angry that she was useless and struggled to get up. A bone-piercing pain came from her ankles.

The two gray wolves and the injured one quickly caught up.

Xiao Qian had no time to pay attention to Su Zhi's injuries as he focused on dealing with them.

Su Zhi collapsed and continued to stumble down the mountain, ignoring the pain from her numb feet.

On the other side.

Behind Xiao Qian was a steep cliff. If he wasn't careful, he would step on it and fall.

The three wild wolves saw that he was alone and helpless. Their eyes glowed green as they salivated.

Xiao Qian smiled. He was not afraid of surrounding wolves and did not plan to go head to head with them. His top priority was to find Su Zhi. He was afraid that something might happen to her in this wilderness.

Just as he was about to flip over and jump off the cliff, a flame lit up on his left, accompanied by the woman's brazen shout, ”Ah! Burn you beasts to death! ”

Xiao Qian's hand slightly trembled as he held the sword. This woman was truly … Didn't I tell her to leave!? Coming back to die?

”What are you doing?”

”General, do not be afraid. I know that wolves are afraid of fire. They do not dare to approach us.”

Xiao Qian felt his temple twitch. He was speechless. Should he thank her for her consideration? They thought that he was so useless that he couldn't even handle a mere three headed wolf!

”Come here if you dare!”

Su Zhi bundled up the dead grass in a bundle and used a kerosene lamp to light up the dead grass. The torch burned brilliantly and the falling sparks ignited the surrounding weeds as well.

Xiao Qian felt his head ache. Did this woman want to burn the wolves or themselves?
