Chapter 419 Yunzhi Mountains, Shifting the Blame East
Yu Zhiyi stood still.
The wolf was about two meters long, with all four legs exceeding one meter in length, and its fangs gleamed with a chilling light in the dappled sunlight.
It looks quite intimidating.
If Yu Zhiyi were just an ordinary person, this would probably terrify her.
But she wasn't.
She could tell at a glance that the wolf's strength was roughly equivalent to that of a human at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm.
She wasn't afraid even if she didn't break through, let alone now that he had already entered the Golden Core realm.
He brought his two fingers together and attached a wisp of spiritual energy to them.
Just as Yu Zhiyi was about to swat the wolf away, another figure was faster than her.
The man rushed to the wolf's back and slashed at it with his sword.
The sharp sword strike, whistling through the air, barely left a shallow mark on the wolf's back, without even breaking its flesh.
Yu Zhiyi was somewhat surprised.
This was the first time she had ever seen animals from the Hidden Realm. Were all the animals in the Hidden Realm so thick-skinned and tough?
wrong……
More importantly, do all the animals in the Hidden Realm possess cultivation?
The giant wolf was slashed by a sword, but although it didn't break its defenses, it was enraged. It leaped up, spun around in mid-air, and slapped its attacker with its paw.
The attacker hadn't expected the giant wolf to react so quickly. In a panic, he held his longsword to his chest, trying to protect his heart.
Fortunately, her reaction speed was fast enough, so even though the sound of metal clashing rang out after she was struck by the giant wolf's fan-like claws, she was not injured.
Yu Zhiyi looked at the woman who had been hit, about to say something.
A familiar young man's voice suddenly rang out: "Lin Qingxi, are you stupid? I told you to run, but you insisted on coming to save this lowly commoner!"
An extremely arrogant male voice.
Lin Qingxi looks about the same age as Yu Zhiyi, around eighteen or nineteen years old, and is in the late stage of Qi Refining.
A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of her lips, and her pale face looked even more disheveled and dejected against the backdrop of the blood.
The giant wolf growled at Lin Qingxi in a warning tone and attacked without hesitation with its sharp claws.
The man who had spoken finally appeared and threw out a lightning-controlling talisman.
A bolt of lightning struck down, hitting the giant wolf and leaving a charred mark.
However, it failed to break through its defenses.
The man seemed to have no expectation that the lightning-controlling talisman could seriously injure the giant wolf. He jumped to Lin Qingxi's side, grabbed her hand, and turned to run away.
Lin Qingxi panicked: "Zhehao, let me go!"
Zhong Zhehao sneered: "Why would I let you go? To send you to your death?"
“That girl was implicated because of us, I can’t just watch her die.”
She angrily shook off her companion's hand.
Zhong Zhehao looked at Lin Qingxi in disbelief. Seeing her resolute expression and firm attitude, he laughed angrily, "Fine, fine, since you want to die, then so be it!"
His face was full of disgust: "I've had enough of your stupidity!"
"I'm asking you one last time, are you leaving or not?"
Lin Qingxi stared at him, her eyes filled with disbelief.
She seemed unable to believe that the boy she had grown up with would turn into such a hideous figure.
She gritted her teeth, turned around and went to face the giant wolf: "I'm not leaving! We provoked this wolf, and I can't let innocent people suffer for us."
Zhong Zhehao was furious, and gave a cold laugh: "You think you're so high and mighty! Since you want to be a good person, then go die!"
After saying that, he ignored his companions and left the forest at an extremely fast speed.
At the same time, the giant wolf also moved.
Although the lightning talisman failed to break through its defenses, it still caused it pain; the electric current from the lightning strikes made its head numb.
This is why it didn't rush over to cause trouble.
But now, the current has disappeared.
It hated the human who shocked it.
But that guy is gone.
Let's eat the two humans here first.
The giant wolf turned around, its massive tail, as sharp as a steel whip, lashing the air and producing a sharp, whistling sound.
Just as it was about to pounce and bite the nearest human to death, its body suddenly stiffened.
Its wolf eyes widened suddenly, and before it could react to what had happened, it had already lost its breath.
Lin Qingxi stared in astonishment at this scene.
She was already in despair when she saw Zhong Zhehao leave her.
Of course, she didn't regret turning back.
They were the ones who brought the giant wolf, and she had no reason to let innocent people die in its place.
She had even decided that she would risk her own life to help that innocent girl escape.
However, before she could do anything, the giant wolf died.
She stared in astonishment as the gleaming sword was slowly pulled from the giant wolf's body, then looked blankly as the woman gently wiped the bloodstains from the sword. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
"You...I..."
Yu Zhiyi wiped the sword clean and put it back in its sheath.
He extended his hand to the woman: "Would you like to get up?"
Lin Qingxi then realized that she had been sitting on the ground the whole time. Her pretty face flushed red, and she stood up with the help of Yu Zhiyi's hand: "Thank you, young lady... Um, I should say sorry first."
Yu Zhiyi shrugged: "It's not your fault, you don't need to apologize."
She could see clearly that the man was trying to shift the blame, and the girl in front of her, though not very strong, was trying her best to avoid implicating innocent people.
Sensing the implication in Yu Zhiyi's words, Lin Qingxi pursed her lips, unsure of what to say for a moment.
She instinctively tried to defend Zhong Zhehao: "The situation was critical just now, he probably... didn't mean it at first."
Her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke.
Clearly, even she herself didn't believe such a statement.
Even their being chased by giant wolves is inextricably linked to Zhong Zhehao.
There were some things she couldn't say to the woman in front of her, so she could only apologize again.
Yu Zhiyi looked thoughtfully at the woman's lifeless face and said calmly, "Are you from around here?"
Lin Qingxi is an honest girl.
In fact, she was always wary of strangers, but she felt guilty for having just done something wrong and felt guilty in front of the beautiful woman in front of her, so she spoke frankly and without reservation.
“We are not from the Yunzhi Mountains; we are here for training.”
Experience?
Is it the same as those students from the Great Sheng Empire who go on study tours before their exams?
Lin Qingxi, unaware of her question, continued, "The inner realm's dangerous areas and those secret realms are too perilous, and they are controlled by various powerful forces. Our family's strength is not enough to set foot in even more dangerous areas. Of course, our own strength does not allow it either, so we can only try our luck here."
"This place has a hundred thousand mountains. Although countless predecessors have set foot here, there are still some opportunities to be found."
He then gave a wry smile: "I just didn't expect that we would be so unlucky as to anger a first-tier peak demon beast as soon as we arrived."
At this point, she seemed somewhat depressed.
All of this could have been avoided.
Yu Zhiyi asked thoughtfully, "How long are you going to train?"
She doesn't know much about the Hidden Realm. If she could persuade someone who is familiar with it, she could avoid a lot of trouble.
and.
She glanced at the girl beside her out of the corner of her eye, who only possessed the strength of the late-stage Qi Refining Realm, which could also be used to confuse the pursuers.
