Chapter 589 You Just Need to Protect Yourself
Xiao Tao did not go down to help the man immediately, but turned around and walked away towards Gao Haiguang.
Gao Haiguang was holding a torch and looking around helplessly. The night was so dark that it made people tremble.
Gao Haiguang has lived in a village at the foot of the mountain since he was a child. Therefore, ever since he could remember, he was told by adults not to leave the house after dark. So as soon as the sun sets, there is almost no one wandering around in Gaoliu Village.
But now, not only was he outside, he was also alone. The darkness was like the bloody mouth of a giant beast, gradually devouring his sanity.
Gao Haiguang's little body had begun to tremble. He held the torch tightly in one hand and the reins tightly in the other. Fortunately, the horse under him could still keep him company, so he did not collapse so quickly.
Until he saw a slender and light figure coming towards him, and the other party made a sound from a distance, as if afraid of scaring him.
"Little guy, are you afraid?"
Gao Haiguang felt that Xiaotao's voice was like the sound of nature, which instantly calmed his uneasy heart.
"Sister Xiaotao, I'm fine."
There was a gleam of joy in Gao Haiguang's eyes.
"Little guy, since everything is fine, you should go back and call for help. I just saw a tall man in front of me, carrying a bag on his back, holding a knife and a torch in his hand. He was being besieged by wolves, and there are wolves in the forest. Your task now is to return immediately and stop the people in your village from coming. But you have to call the big brother who is with me to help. Can you do it?"
After hearing what Xiao Tao said, Gao Haiguang immediately concluded, "That man is my great uncle. He is the only one in our village who has a knife. My great grandfather is an old hunter in our village. Sister Xiao Tao, why don't you let me call someone to save my great uncle?"
"Little guy, the people in your village are no match for those wolves. If you come here, you will die. The lives of your great uncle and I are in your hands. You must call that big brother here within half an hour."
Although Gao Haiguang was anxious, he was also a little hesitant, "But, but I don't know how to ride a horse, I'm afraid--"
"How difficult is it to ride a horse? Just bend down, press your body tightly against the horse's back, and hold the reins tightly. This horse is a war horse and will remember the way back. You just need to hold the reins tightly and don't let yourself fall off."
After Xiao Tao finished speaking, she pushed down Gao Haiguang's upper body. Gao Haiguang subconsciously grabbed the reins tightly, and his legs unconsciously tightened around the horse's belly.
Xiao Tao patted the horse on its butt, and the horse carried Gao Haiguang back the same way.
"Ah! Sister Xiaotao, I'm scared!"
Xiao Tao smiled and watched the torches getting farther and farther away. Gao Haiguang's hoarse screams gradually drifted away in the wind. Then she turned and headed in the opposite direction.
When Xiao Tao rushed back, she saw several wolves starting to pounce on Gao Hongkang.
Gao Hongkang swung the torch in his hand forward, and the wolf approaching him took a step back.
But the wolf behind him on the left pounced on his left shoulder.
The wolf's claws are very sharp. If Gao Hongkang is scratched by them, it will be very serious. He will lose half of his fighting power. This wolf is really cunning.
Gao Hongkang probably also sensed the danger behind him. He threw the torch in his hand towards the wolf closest to him, and then rolled over on the ground. The wolf, which was attacking him, brushed past his shoulder and landed on the other side.
But it reacted very quickly, immediately turned around and launched a second pounce towards Gao Hongkang.
Gao Hongkang's thigh was injured, and his sensitivity was greatly reduced. Although he dodged the first attack, he couldn't dodge it this time.
The wolf pounced directly on his chest and pressed him to the ground. It opened its mouth and was about to bite Gao Hongkang's neck.
Gao Hongkang didn't know where the long knife in his hand had gone. With tears in his eyes, he closed his eyes resignedly.
"Ouch!" A shrill cry came from above, and then a warm liquid splashed on his face.
Immediately afterwards, the wolf that was pressing on him fell to the ground with a bang.
Gao Hongkang opened his eyes in horror, and with the light from the fire that had not yet gone out on the ground, he saw a slender girl standing not far away.
At this time, Xiaotao was holding a long sword in one hand and maintaining the posture of throwing a hidden weapon with the other hand.
Gao Hongkang understood that he was saved, and that the person who saved him was a master.
Gao Hongkang wanted to stand up and thank her, but before he could open his mouth, the other wolves all attacked Xiao Tao.
Xiao Tao curled her lips into a cold smile, drew out her sword with a "swish", and slashed towards the wolves.
The wolf rushing in the front had its belly slashed by Xiaotao's sword. Its internal organs instantly flowed all over the ground, and its body flew far away.
Xiao Tao didn't care about the wolf blood splattered on her face, and rushed towards the other two wolves like a killing god.
She moved in strange steps, shuttling back and forth between the two wolves, and soon both were dealt with by her.
Gao Hongkang had already climbed up from the ground. He clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for saving my life, young lady."
"Don't thank me too soon, it's not over yet."
Xiaotao pointed her chin toward the woods.
Gao Hongkang turned his head and looked in the direction Xiaotao pointed, and saw pairs of green lights flashing in the woods, like beautiful emeralds.
Gao Hongkang broke out in a cold sweat, his legs went limp, and he sat down on the ground.
"Humph, your nephew said you were a hunter, how come you are so timid?"
Gao Hongkang raised his head and looked at Xiaotao in confusion.
"How did the girl know my nephew?"
"Stop talking nonsense and get up and find your weapon. I remember you had a knife just now. Where's your knife?"
Gao Hongkang's thoughts were completely drawn by Xiao Tao, and he could not care about anything else at this moment. In front of the wolves, saving his life was the most important thing, and nothing else mattered.
Gao Hongkang limped to pick up the torch. In the light of the torch, he finally saw his sword at the edge of the woods. He must have rolled on the ground and thrown the sword away in order to avoid the attack of the wolf.
But now the forest is full of wolves, he doesn't dare to pick it up!
Gao Hongkang looked at Xiaotao helplessly, and Xiaotao also noticed Gao Hongkang's long sword.
She didn't expect Gao Hongkang to kill the wolf, but it was enough for him to have a long sword to protect himself.
Xiao Tao didn't say much. She walked over, bent down, picked up the long knife, and waved it provocatively at the wolves in the woods.
"Go on!" Xiao Tao shouted in a tender voice and threw out the long sword.
Gao Hongkang caught the long sword steadily and felt much more at ease.
"Girl, what should we do now?" Gao Hongkang's eyes were fixed on the pairs of green lights that were getting closer and closer in the woods, and his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Cold!"
As Xiao Tao's cold voice fell, she took a few steps back to Gao Hongkang.
"I saw you kill two wolves just now, you must have some skills. Here is the golden medicine, apply it on your wound quickly. I don't ask for your help, you just need to protect yourself, can you do that?"
Gao Hongkang nodded, "Don't worry, young lady. I will never hold you back."
With Gao Hongkang's words, Xiao Tao no longer had any worries and jumped directly into the woods.
