Chapter 168 Safe, Temporarily
The forest trembled in the roar of artillery fire, the dark and twisted fairy tale burned in the demon fire, the wolves breeding in the shadows were torn apart and knocked down one after another, the entire area was torn apart by pure violence, and the lush trees were like fragile seedlings, which were cut down and plowed into a wide road in the blink of an eye.
The squirrel watched all this in a daze. It hid in Little Red Riding Hood's hood, trembling. The fire rising from the forest was reflected in its dark little eyes, and the scene seemed to melt the entire sky.
It's not like this. It has never been like this.
Detect, hide, transfer, lurk, and then hide again, and continue to move to the next safe house. For many years, this was the only way for Little Red Riding Hood to survive when she fell into the Black Forest. This dense forest full of hostility never allowed its prey to do anything beyond the "rules", and those unfortunate prey never had the power to resist these rules.
There had never been anything like it before—the prey tore through the wolves with blood and fire, forcing its way through the forest.
The squirrel stopped screaming, it just stared blankly, as if its little brain had been overwhelmed and what was happening before it had made it lose the ability to think and judge.
Little Red Riding Hood was laughing, a happy and relaxed laugh she had never experienced before - when the wolf howled, fear still grew in her heart, but the foxfire barrage that swept across her vision, the foxtail missiles that flew across the sky and the fiercely waving mace in the corner of her eye would bring her another emotion, a strange, wanton, unbridled excitement and pleasure that hit the fear again and again, converging into a trembling feeling that she herself could not explain.
She didn't know whether she was afraid, happy, or just venting. She just felt that this was great, even if it only happened once in a lifetime.
She hated this place so much that she wanted to see it burn.
Yu Sheng turned his head slightly and caught the smile on the red-dressed girl's face and the twinkle in her eyes.
That's great. Children should go crazy occasionally. They are not even 18 years old yet. There is no need to be cautious like an adult.
Things like looking ahead and looking back can be left to real adults.
He moved his wrist and turned the rebar mace that was welded with blades, nails and broken steel bars to relieve the numbness and tingling in his muscles.
This thing is very useful. When you swing it with full force, it can easily smash the wolves' heads. The monsters that come out of the shadows will have physical form when they pounce, which gives Yu Sheng a good opportunity to use his skills - now many wolves have become corpses with burst heads, falling on the burning forest road.
Some of the carcasses had staggered to their feet and were wandering blindly through the forest, waiting to gnaw at other wolves that emerged from the shadows.
Yu Sheng is connected with them by blood.
It was also with the help of this spreading blood that Yu Sheng was able to clearly grasp the changes in the Black Forest.
The forest could not be said to be burning - compared with the endless forest, the flames ignited by the foxfire were at best an insignificant flame.
Countless wolf packs are emerging from the farther darkness. Their numbers are endless and their malice is increasing rapidly in real time. The speed at which they can be eliminated is far less than the speed at which they grow.
The biggest wolf was not destroyed. Although Yu Sheng felt that the sight from the wolf disappeared when the sixteen Fox-Carrot missiles landed, only a moment later, he realized that the wolf's breath was rapidly regenerating. The monster that came from the depths of Little Red Riding Hood's cognition and fear could reappear in the Black Forest unconditionally and infinitely, and now, the reborn wolf was slowly moving towards this side.
The scale of this nightmare is so huge that even a fire cannot burn it away.
Little Red Riding Hood didn't know this - maybe she would think about it after she calmed down, but now she was obviously still immersed in the joy of watching the Black Forest burning.
Then let her continue to be happy, children should be happy.
Yu Sheng exhaled lightly, but the excited and happy expression on his face did not fade at all.
He could still make trouble for a while, but with such a big commotion... the hunter hiding somewhere must have noticed it. If he still had even a little bit of "reason", he should be interested in this group of lawless intruders.
The lighted cabin appeared at the end of the field of vision.
"Look! The little house!" Yu Sheng raised his blood-stained tetanus stick and pointed at the fantasy-filled little wooden house from afar, "Let's go and take a look!"
He strode forward.
The blue demonic fire extended under his feet, tall and twisted trees collapsed beside him, the whistling sound of fox-tail missiles cutting through the air pierced the sky, the dusk had faded away at some point, and the night was reflected in the sky - wave after wave of wolves came from the darkness, and were forced back again and again by the dense shooting of the foxes.
"My benefactor! We can't finish the fight!" Hu Li began to feel a little tired. She felt something was wrong and shouted to Sheng, "And the new wolf is harder to kill than the previous one - it took several hits to kill it!"
"It's okay, we're here."
Yu Sheng said this without turning his head, and before he finished his words, he had already stepped into the range of the warm light emanating from the window of the cottage.
In the blink of an eye, the howling of wolves around weakened.
The wolves began to retreat rapidly. Even the wolves that had materialized and rushed to the nearby area quickly turned into shadows again after entering the cabin and disappeared in the light.
Hu Li was breathing slightly, holding his big tail in each hand, with many separated fox fires surrounding him. He was watching the scene in amazement.
The squirrel poked its head out from Little Red Riding Hood's shoulder, stared back in the direction it came from, then turned its head to look at the small wooden house standing quietly at the end of the flaming road, and uttered a terrified voice like a wail: "What will happen next——"
Yu Sheng came to the door of the wooden house, looked inside, then with a smile on his face, he raised his hand and knocked on the wooden door.
"Is Grandma Wolf home?"
The cabin was silent, with no response.
Yu Sheng knocked again.
"Guests are coming——"
There was still no movement in the cabin.
"It seems that Grandma Wolf is really not here." Yu Sheng shook his head and said to Hu Li and Irene, then pushed open the door.
With a creak, the wooden door opened, and the warm light from the wooden house came in. Along with it came that incredible feeling of comfort and tranquility, as if being protected by some power.
Yu Sheng, holding the tetanus stick that was still dripping blood in one hand, stepped in cautiously but not too slowly.
He heard a thump from above.
"What's that noise!" Yu Sheng's nerves tensed up instantly, and he turned around abruptly with his "war stick" in hand, on guard.

Then he heard the little puppet's frustrated voice over his shoulder: "I hit my head on the door frame! Didn't you take a look before you went in?!"
Yu Sheng turned his head belatedly and saw Irene holding her head and mumbling, "Hiss... Damn, this door frame is too low... I even lowered my head in advance and couldn't avoid it... Yu Sheng, damn it..."
The puppet's misfortune quickly diluted the remaining tense atmosphere in the team, and everyone quickly showed a knowing smile. Hu Li was the most excessive - she laughed out loud.
Irene's scolding was really harsh.
"Let's rest here for a while." Yu Sheng casually put the "war stick" against the door and turned to Hu Li and said.
Hu Li made an "oh" sound, and finally relaxed his tense nerves a little. He walked to the dining table in the middle of the room and sat down. He then took out a handful of dried meat from his tail, stuffed it into his mouth, and started chewing it.

Little Red Riding Hood also came in and sat on the empty little bed, looking a little dazed.
The squirrel climbed out of her hood and stood on her shoulder, joining in the daze.
Yu Sheng took a look at the things on the wooden dining table, rummaged through a wooden bowl, took out an acorn, and walked towards the dazed squirrel with it: "Here, your previous acorn fell off, so I'll give you a new one."
The squirrel took the acorn hesitantly, but had no intention of eating it. He just looked up at Yu Sheng blankly, and after a long while he uttered, "Thank you..."
Yu Sheng looked at the other party's reaction and found it very interesting. He deliberately teased it: "Where is the classic line at the end?"
The squirrel was stunned: "What line?"
"Just that sentence, XX is a squirrel's best friend - I give you acorns, am I your best friend?"
The squirrel was stunned and didn't move for a long time, as if the computer had crashed.
Yu Sheng didn't care about its reaction. He was just teasing this strange little creature. At this time, he withdrew his gaze and looked up at the night outside the window which seemed to have calmed down.
The wolves retreated, and the Dark Forest returned to silence. Only the dark blue fire that was difficult to extinguish was still burning slowly in the forest, but it was gradually being swallowed up and extinguished by the surrounding darkness.
The areas burned by flames and torn apart by explosions are gradually returning to their original state.
"That evil wolf is lingering around," Yu Sheng said suddenly, "but it has no intention of coming closer for now."
Little Red Riding Hood raised her head and looked at him blankly.
"It's not dead. We just made a big fuss. It's too early to destroy this place," Yu Sheng said to the girl with a smile, but then shook his head. "It's okay. I'll beat it if it comes. Don't be afraid."
"I'm not afraid." Little Red Riding Hood lowered her head, her voice a little muffled.
As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to be afraid that the other party would expose her nervousness at the moment, so she quickly changed the subject and pointed at Hu Li who was happily chewing on the dried meat: "What is she eating? It looks delicious."
"...delicious meat," Yu Sheng walked over, took a piece of jerky from Hu Li and stuffed it into Little Red Riding Hood's hand, "Would you like to try it?"
