The source of the sound was not far away. He Yan galloped on his horse, and Shen Hong followed behind him, saying as she ran: "Hey, wait for me!"

Going further up the mountain, over the top of the mountain, the forest became denser and wetter because of the shade, and the sunlight barely leaked in front of people. It felt like the dark night, cold and eerie. He Yan stopped in front of the bushes.

I saw Zheng Xuan and his two companions just in front of me. Their horses were restlessly standing still, not daring to move forward. Zheng Xuan's face was pale, and the other two were almost in tears.

Around the three people, there were four wolves crouching and howling at them. When He Yan and his companions came over, the wolves looked at He Yan with ferocious eyes.

How could there be wolves at this time of year? He Yan was a little puzzled.

Looking at Zheng Xuan and the others, they were all in a state of rage. He Yan also noticed that the knife on Zheng Xuan's waist was missing. A pack of wolves would attack a lone person, but they would not attack the three of them for no reason. He Yan asked, "What did you do?"

Zheng Xuan's face turned pale and he said nothing. The new recruit behind him started crying, "We walked to the front and saw a cave with crying sounds coming from inside. We went in to see and saw a den of wolf cubs inside..."

"Did you touch the wolf cub?" He Yan asked sharply.

She spoke so harshly that the recruit was startled and quickly replied, "No, no, we just wanted to take them home to raise. We were not far away when we saw these wolves."

He Yan simply wanted to pry open these people's brains to see what was inside. Seeing a wolf den meant that the mother wolf was nearby, but they didn't leave quickly and took away the wolf cubs. Did they really think that the adult wolf would not follow the smell?

"Where is the wolf cub?" He Yan asked.

"...We were so scared that we threw the wolf cub back to them, but..."

"Just what?" He Yan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"But one of them fell on the top of the rock and seemed to be dead," said the man.

"You!" He Yan was furious. These wolves would not leave.

"What are you yelling about!" Zheng Xuan was angry. "Aren't they just a few wolves? Just kill them! Can a human being be forced to death by a few beasts?"

He Yan sneered, "Really? Then where's your knife?"

Zheng Xuan's face became even uglier. After he threw the wolf cub to death, he also drew his sword to confront the wolves. However, the wolves were cunning. Although he was good at swordsmanship, he was nervous and the wolves took advantage of him. He was almost injured and even dropped his sword in a hurry. If not, he would not be facing such a desperate situation now.

"Stop talking nonsense. Now either we die together or find a solution." He forced out a few words from between his teeth.

As he was talking, Shen Hong arrived on horseback. He was shocked to see this scene, and his voice immediately trembled, "So many wolves! How could there be so many wolves?"

The wolves have crouched, baring their fangs, ready to attack.

If they had a tinder, it would be fine, as wolves are afraid of fire, but they went out in the daytime and didn't bring any, so it wouldn't work now. Just as they thought of this, four wolves rushed towards the three people who were surrounding them.

The three screamed in panic, and one of them was bitten on the horse's leg and almost fell off. Shen Hong almost cried, "Help!"

What's the point of calling for help now? There's no one else here. He Yan made up her mind and rushed in. Her charge broke up the wolf's encirclement. When the wolves saw her, they rushed towards her.

He Yan urged, "Where are your guns? Take them out and use them!"

"Oh, oh." The two recruits woke up as if from a dream, and then they remembered their long guns, so they took them out and waved them around for a few times, but they couldn't hold them steadily. He Yan's heart suddenly turned cold.

It was impossible to rely on these few people. He Yan wanted to touch the knife, but then she remembered that her knife had just been borrowed by Shen Hong, and she only had a long stick made of bamboo. She shouted, "Shen Hong, throw my knife over here!"

Shen Hong responded, tremblingly drew his sword and threw it over, but he was probably too nervous and didn't even put the sword away. The long sword fell in the air, leaving only a short sword stuck in the scabbard, which was thrown in the air and was picked up by He Yan.

The wolves surrounded them again, waiting for an opportunity to strike. He Yan said, "When I tell you to run, just turn around and run. Don't worry about anything else. Run down the mountain and run all the way to the camp to let the coaches come up. Do you understand?"

Shen Hong asked: "What about you?"

"I can shake them off!"

“He Yan, how can we run away?” The new soldier beside Zheng Xuan sobbed, “We are surrounded. They will bite the horses’ legs. If they bite off the horses’ legs, we won’t be able to escape…”

"It's not completely impossible." After He Yan finished speaking, the short knife in her hand flew out violently. The short knife was small to begin with, and she moved swiftly. In the blink of an eye, everyone saw a flash of silver light, and suddenly there was a miserable howl, and the smell of blood flowed out.

The largest wolf fell to the ground, blood bubbles coming out of its throat. The knife was completely sunken, leaving only the handle. The wolf struggled a few times and then stopped breathing.

"Run!" He Yan shouted.

Zheng Xuan and his companions, as well as Shen Hong, did not dare to speak out. They shouted "Go!" and drove out of the dense forest with all their strength. They thought that the remaining wolves would chase them, so they did not dare to look back and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The remaining wolves did not chase after him. They panicked for a moment, then looked at He Yan with extremely vicious eyes.

He Yan killed the wolf.

Wolves are pack animals, and the biggest one among these wolves is their leader. They followed the orders of the alpha wolf, and He Yan killed them. They were leaderless, so it would be smarter for them to form a group. But at the same time, as the price of killing the alpha wolf, she would face the revenge of these wolves.

A wolf bared its sharp white teeth and rushed towards her. Its sharp claws could tear a person's head apart. He Yan held the stick in front of him and swung it hard, sweeping the wolf forward and hitting nothing.

There was a very slight "hiss" sound. He Yan had amazing hearing and his heart sank when he heard it.

This bamboo stick has cracks and may not be able to withstand more than a few uses before it breaks.

"What bad luck!" She cursed in a low voice. It was just three wolves. She could have dealt with them alone, but now she had no weapons except this stick that was about to break. It was true that a penny could make a hero fall. No, it was that good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone.

People can't be forced to death by beasts. She thought of what Zheng Xuan had just said and chuckled.

On the battlefield, in addition to taking the initiative to attack, she is actually also good at running away.

"escape!"

The girl's voice echoed throughout the forest, startling countless birds. The long stick seemed to have infinite power, and it chopped straight forward, creating a clear path.

She rode away with a long stick in her hand, as if she was going to disappear into the distant mountains and forests.

A pack of wolves are chasing behind him, and fish are swimming in a boiling pot, leaving no time to lose.
