"Qian Xinxin, draw your bow and shoot!" Meng Yuzhen's clothes were tightly grabbed, which greatly reduced her flexibility. She couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
"Oh, oh, okay..." Qian Xinxin heard Meng Yuzhen's words, her hands trembling slightly as she tried to string the bow. However, her nervousness caused her to accidentally drop the arrow several times.
Meng Yuzhen didn't really expect Qian Xinxin to be able to help, as long as she stayed out of the way. Her eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and dissatisfaction.
As for Meng Haoling, although he was filled with fear in his heart, he did not want to become a burden when he saw his sister Meng Yuzhen and Hua Qingcheng fighting the wolves desperately.
He silently raised his bow, his eyes determined and focused, occasionally firing an arrow at the wolves ahead. As he successfully shot one or two wolves, his confidence soared, and his initial fear gradually vanished. He gradually transformed from a drag to a helpful companion.
Hua Qingcheng held the pistol tightly in her left hand and the tranquilizer gun in her right. Her movements were swift and decisive, and each shot was fired accurately at the wolves. The bullets were soon exhausted, and the number of wolves was reduced by more than half. The ground was littered with wolf corpses.
As the number of wolves in the pack dwindled, the remaining wolves became more ferocious and cunning. They began to disperse and outflank the crowd.
Hua Qingcheng realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately shouted, "Everyone, stand back to back. Don't let the wolves take advantage!"
Everyone responded immediately, forming a tight defensive circle. At that moment, a gigantic wolf king slowly emerged from the woods. Its gaze was cold and ruthless, revealing a sense of majesty.
It first whimpered softly beside the wolf leader that Hua Qingcheng had just shot dead, its voice filled with sorrow and pain. Then, it let out another low howl, and the other wolves joined in. Their howls echoed in the silent forest, loud and terrifying.
Hua Qingcheng realized that this wolf king and the wolf that had just died were probably mates. Her eyes became more determined, staring intently at the wolf king, her grip on the gun tightening. She knew this would be a life-or-death battle; if she wasn't careful, she could end up in the wolf's belly...
“Click~Click~”
Hua Qingcheng tucked the tranquilizer gun into her bosom and reloaded her pistol, her movements steady and decisive. However, at this thrilling moment, the wolf king seized the opportunity and pounced on her like lightning.
Seeing this, Meng Yuzhen and Feng Qiyan were extremely anxious and quickly shot arrows at the wolf king, trying to stop its attack. However, the wolf king's movements were extremely swift, as agile as the wind, and it easily dodged the flying arrows.
At this thrilling and critical moment, Hua Qingcheng made a prompt decision and planned to lead everyone to hide in the space to seek temporary safety.
However, at this crucial moment, a dark figure suddenly appeared like a ghost. With lightning speed, the shadow engaged the wolf king in a fierce battle, its speed so fast that it was dizzying and dazzling. In the blink of an eye, the shadow had delivered a sharp kick to the wolf king's abdomen, sending it flying several meters away.
The wolf king stood up angrily, roaring deafeningly, his eyes gleaming with ferocity. He opened his bloody mouth, fangs sharp, ready to launch another ferocious attack.
However, the black shadow was agile, not giving the Wolf King any chance. He flashed in front of the Wolf King like a phantom, darting at him like lightning. The sharp blade in his hand flashed a cold light in the air, and instantly, blood gushed out of the Wolf King's neck like a fountain.
The wolf king struggled for a few times in his death throes, and finally fell to the ground powerlessly.
The masked man in black cast a sharp, leisurely glance at Hua Qingcheng, who was shooting wolves with a pistol, and at Feng Qiyan, Meng Yuzhen, and the others who had tried to fire arrows at the wolves but had run out of arrows. Then, he pulled a jade flute, emerald green, from his waist and began to play without hesitation.
As the melodious flute sounded, the remaining twenty or so wolves, which were originally ferocious, suddenly became dull-eyed and their body movements gradually slowed down. Hua Qingcheng seized the opportunity, loaded her gun again, and shot at the wolves quickly, accurately and fiercely.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
But the wolves that were immersed in the sound of the flute soon fell one after another under Hua Qingcheng's shooting.
As the last wolf was killed, the masked man in black put the jade flute back into his waist. After looking at Hua Qingcheng meaningfully, he used his lightness skills to fly away quickly.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; the crisis was finally over. However, they were filled with doubts: who was this mysterious man in black? Why did he come to their aid?
Meng Yuzhen walked over to the Wolf King and after a careful inspection, she found that the Wolf King had already died. She was filled with regret. If the black shadow had not appeared in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"This person's strength is unfathomable. He must be a master." Feng Qiyan said.
"No matter what, let's leave here first." Hua Qingcheng looked in the direction where the masked man in black left and said thoughtfully.
So, everyone packed up their things and returned to the foot of the mountain behind the Imperial College along the way they had come. Along the way, they talked about their thrilling experience and were also full of curiosity about the mysterious masked man in black.
By the time Hua Qingcheng and her group returned to their starting point, the rest of the students in Class D had already returned. They were whispering about their gains and the lingering fear of hearing the beast in the forest earlier. Some even speculated that Hua Qingcheng and her group hadn't returned yet, and that they had been eaten by a beast...
"Why did you take so long to come back?" Xiahou Yu glanced at Hua Qingcheng and others who were unharmed, suppressed his confusion, and scolded.
She had clearly heard the roar of a tiger and the howling of a wolf pack, but she was shocked that this woman had managed to escape unscathed. Xiahou Yu didn't know whether to despise Leng Qingqiu's poor tactics or to envy Hua Qingcheng's agility.
Hua Qingcheng chuckled slightly upon hearing this. She looked directly at Xiahou Yu, her red lips parted as she spoke slowly, "Master Xiahou, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. We just hunted a tiger and killed over a hundred wolves, so we're back late..."
As Hua Qingcheng finished speaking, everyone present gasped. Some were shocked, some admired, and some were in disbelief.
But when the teaching assistant who was counting the prey brought back a tiger with Hua Qingcheng's exclusive arrow stuck in its body, Hua Qingcheng's statement was confirmed. The students in Class D all looked at Hua Qingcheng with admiration.
"Master Xiahou, more than a hundred wolves have indeed died under the cliff, but because there are too many of them, our people have not yet moved them all back." The assistant teacher glanced at Hua Qingcheng and others, his eyes full of shock.
The facts were before his eyes, and Xiahou Yu had no choice but to announce that the first place in this hunting activity belonged to Hua Qingcheng and his group.
