Chapter 126: Battle Against the Wolf Pack Again!
“Yuanxin, your father is like that, and they all listen to your eldest sister. There’s nothing we can do!” As soon as Liu finished speaking, Shen Conglian pushed her.
Shen Conglian glared angrily at Liu: Don't talk nonsense about things you shouldn't say!
Liu reluctantly shut her mouth and stood aside.
Shen Yuanxin observed their reactions, his gaze growing increasingly cold.
How could the eldest sister treat them like this? If it weren't for the eldest sister, would those people listen to the Shen family?
Actually, it doesn't matter whether there are older sisters or not in this team!
"He's gone," Liu muttered softly, watching Shen Yuanxin's retreating figure.
"Hmph, he shouldn't have come. The eldest branch of the family is the most troublesome," Miao said with dissatisfaction.
Even Madam Shen couldn't help but start cursing. "The eldest son is so muddle-headed. Yuanxin is just like him. He didn't inherit any of her genes at all."
As night fell, the howling of wolves echoed from afar, frightening Shen Congwen and his daughter, who were cursing angrily in the trap, into silence.
The horse, hearing the wolf's howl, began to become restless.
It looks like tonight will be another sleepless night!
"Light the fire, then take turns resting!" Shen Lanxi gave the order.
Wei Dongzhu: "Yes!"
After making the arrangements, he returned to Shen Lanxi's side.
"You rest first, I'll stay here!"
Shen Lanxi nodded and entered the carriage.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the moon was high in the sky. After a long howl of a wolf, everything suddenly fell silent.
Everyone sensed something unusual, and those who were resting were all woken up.
The sound of the wind, the rustling of the grass, and the pounding of people's hearts blended together, sending chills down one's spine and making one's nerves increasingly tense.
scold……
After letting out a high-pitched and loud cry, Xiaoxue circled twice above them before landing on the carriage where Shen Lanxi was. Its eagle eyes gleamed with a chilling amber light in the darkness.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was shocked!
Qiu Shuang and Chun Xue stood on either side of the carriage, warily watching their surroundings.
Wei Dongzhu shouted, "Add more firewood! Set the whole pile of firewood on fire!"
He had people gather firewood and arrange it in a circle. After lighting it, they were surrounded by the fire. The flames were ten feet high, and the firelight shone into the sky, illuminating the grassland as bright as day!
A long stick lifted the carriage curtain, and Shen Lanxi, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, jumped down from the carriage.
Even they themselves didn't realize that the moment they saw Shen Lanxi appear carrying a long stick, they all breathed a sigh of relief!
Shen Lanxi looked at the northeast wind, her gaze instantly sharper than an eagle's.
"They're here!"
Wei Dongzhu shouted: "Form ranks!"
Those who had been ordered by him to kill the pirates almost instinctively gathered together.
"The Lesser Three Talents Formation!"
Just moments ago, they were like a pile of loose sand, but in an instant, they gathered together a force that should not be underestimated!
Shen Lanxi said in a cold voice, "Kill!"
The moment the voice fell, he shot out like an arrow aimed at the sun, seemingly carrying the power to destroy the world, unstoppable and swift!
With a single swing of her staff, a streak of crimson blood flashed through the flames. A cloud of blood mist rose into the air, and she soared away through the snow-covered fog!
With a loud bang, the wolf carcass, severed in half at the waist, crashed to the ground.
Their terrifying combat power shocked everyone.
To split a wolf in two with just a stick requires not only immense strength but also exceptional internal energy.
If it were just a matter of brute force, the wolf would only be smashed to pieces and slammed to the ground, and would never be cut in half by a stick as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Wei Dongzhu, and he suddenly understood what had been causing his sense of unease all along.
She may be holding a stick, but she should be using a knife!
If the long staff in her hand were replaced with a large sword, its power would probably be even more astonishing!
The wolf pack arrived in the blink of an eye. With Wei Dongzhu's arrangements and Shen Lanxi's terrifying combat power, the prisoners only panicked for a moment before quickly gripping their weapons and starting to fight!
Amidst the shouts of fighting and killing, there were also two faint cries for help.
"Get us out of here..."
"Big sister, I was wrong! I'll never do it again! Please, someone let me out!"
"Lanxi, Yuanjing, come save me..."
With a splash, a wolf fell into a trap nearby.
The two of them forgot about calling for help and started screaming loudly.
After confirming the number of wolves, Shen Lanxi immediately used a whistle to prevent the people from Peach Blossom Valley from showing themselves, and also to prevent the Ghost Valley guards hiding nearby from showing themselves.
Some of these people can only undergo a transformation by experiencing the flames!
Whether they transform from cocoons into butterflies or remain trapped in their cocoons as insects for the rest of their lives, this journey is the opportunity she gives to these people!
"Bang..." Shen Yuanjing slammed a stick into the wolf's head.
His team launched attacks on the wolf's waist, tail, and legs.
Like humans, wolves are just paper wolves if their legs are broken, no matter how fierce they are.
The sounds of fighting, shouting, and yelling mingled together.
After dealing with the alpha wolf, Shen Lanxi returned to the camp, her feet stained with wolf blood.
The last two wolves were howling and resisting, but were hacked and slashed by the constables and prisoners.
The two wolves didn't last long; after two mournful howls, they collapsed to the ground with a thud!
The ground was littered with the corpses of wolves, numbering at least twenty or thirty.
Some people were injured, and some collapsed and were not sure if they were alive or dead. Fortunately, most people were just exhausted.
Some people could no longer hold back and broke down in tears!
Zhang Niu and the women from Liu Zhao Village moved among them, checking on the wounded and treating the injured.
Everyone was covered in a mess, their clothes stained with either wolf blood or their own.
Blood was dripping from the corner of Shen Lanxi's clothes and the stick; now was not the time to clean it!
After his men finished reporting the casualties, Wei Dongzhu reported to Shen Lanxi: "Two dead, three seriously wounded, five slightly wounded, and fifty-one wolves killed!"
They killed the first thirty by working together, and she killed the rest by herself!
Shen Lanxi: "Go and tell Liu Laohu!"
The prisoner's death is Liu Laohu's responsibility to handle!
"yes!"
Even the money-loving Lady Song didn't dare to touch the wolf carcasses after seeing them.
Her husband was also injured while killing wolves, and her mother-in-law twisted her leg while protecting the children and running away.
Fortunately, they were all minor injuries and will recover with rest.
The two people who died were the pillars of their families; for them, it was truly a devastating loss!
A short while later, Liu Yan returned and asked what to do with the wolf carcass.
Shen Lanxi glanced at him: "You make the arrangements yourself!"
Liu Yanhui led the prisoners to dispose of the wolf carcasses. They had almost spent all their money on the boat, and they needed money for the journey to Dongchuan, and they needed money to settle down in Dongchuan. They needed money everywhere.
A good wolf pelt can sell for a lot of money, and even a broken wolf pelt can fetch a little. With the money, you can buy two pairs of shoes and socks!
Shen Lanxi sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, and seeing her like this, the others dared not rest.
Who says there's only one pack of wolves in one night? What if there are more later?
The families of the dead and injured dared not even utter a sound of crying!
Time passed by, and dawn broke in the blink of an eye.
"Pack your things, let's go!"
Hearing her say that, everyone's tense bodies finally relaxed!
