Chapter 19: Escape for Life
Looking at the densely packed yellow foxes around me, my heart almost sank to the bottom. I thought that I was really careless this time. If I had known this, even if the Liu family made trouble, it would not matter. At most, Hu Zi and I would be beaten up, and we would not lose our lives. Now,
we are surrounded by so many yellow foxes. Hu Zi and I are afraid that our lives will be in danger!
However, where did so many yellow foxes come from? Why didn't I hear any sound before?
Could it be that the yellow foxes' lair is right under our feet?
"Qian Yu, what should we do now?" Hu Zi retreated to my side with a nervous look on his face, and said in a trembling voice: "How about... running separately?"
"No." I shook my head. There were too many yellow-skinned people. If we split up and were defeated one by one, it would be tantamount to seeking death.
"Then what should we do?" Hu Zi had almost lost his life to the yellow-skinned people before, and he had already had a shadow on the yellow-skinned people in his heart. At this moment, he was immediately frightened to death when he saw so many yellow-skinned people, and his eyes were full of panic. I guess if I wasn't here, I'm afraid he would have peed himself.
I took a deep breath, gritted my teeth, and held the shovel tightly, saying, "What's there to be afraid of? They are just a bunch of beasts. No matter how powerful they are, can they still cause trouble? I just don't believe it."
"Then...fight them?" Hu Zi glanced at me, but my next words made Hu Zi stunned and confused.
"Fuck you, run!"
As soon as the word "fuck" came out, I rushed towards the direction where there were fewer yellow-skinned people with the shovel in my hand, and when the word "run" fell, I had already rushed into the group of yellow-skinned people with the shovel in my hand.
'Squeak...'
Not only Hu Zi was surprised by my action, but also the group of yellow-skinned guys. They were immediately confused, making strange noises and dodging to the sides. I was delighted to see this and hurriedly shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Follow me."
"Oh oh." Hu Zi came to his senses and rushed towards me, saying as he ran, "Fuck Qian Yu, you are so shameless. Not to mention that group of yellow-skinned guys, I almost got fooled by you. But I know this trick of yours. In the art of war, this is called 'all is fair in battle'. In the Thirty-Six Strategies, it is called 'running away is the best strategy'. But Qian Yu, why do you care about the art of war if you don't learn Taoism from your master?"
"Stop talking nonsense and run." I cursed without looking back.
The two of us ran very fast, and in the blink of an eye we had rushed out more than ten meters. At this time, the group of yellow-skinned foxes had obviously reacted, and a strange cry was heard from the darkness. As the strange cry spread out, the group of yellow-skinned foxes who were originally in a panic and were frightened by me seemed to have received some order. They immediately stopped running around and made strange "squeaking" sounds while chasing after Hu Zi and me.
"Qian Yu, run slower, you promised me to run first, wait for me."
I walked very fast, but Hu Zi was obviously much slower. I cursed him secretly and slowed down, but at this moment, I heard Hu Zi curse loudly: "Fuck."
As the curse fell, Hu Zi stumbled and fell to the ground. I was startled and looked back, and saw a yellow fox hanging on Hu Zi's calf, baring its teeth and biting Hu Zi's calf.
The rest of the yellow foxes also caught up with me, and climbed onto Hu Zi's legs. Hu Zi was cursing and entangled with those yellow foxes.
"Damn it." I cursed, then turned back with the shovel in my hand. When I came in front of Hu Zi, I swung the shovel fiercely and slapped a yellow fox flying out.
I used all my strength this time, and the force was so strong that I heard a muffled "dong" sound, and then blood splashed. The yellow fox that was slapped away didn't even scream, and I slapped it directly, and its brains flew out.
If it were before, I might still be a little cautious and didn't want to make things worse, so I wouldn't easily hurt their lives.
But at this moment, this group of yellow foxes obviously wanted to kill me and Hu Zi. If I hold back, it would be no different from seeking death.
I swung the shovel continuously, knocking all the yellow-skinned foxes on Hu Zi away. In just a few seconds, five or six yellow-skinned foxes died under the shovel.
But death did not frighten these yellow-skinned foxes at all. Instead, it aroused their ferocity. I saw that the yellow-skinned foxes all stared at me with their orange-yellow eyes, and then made a strange "squeak" sound again, and rushed towards me.
"Hurry up, you go first." I swung the shovel to knock away the yellow-skinned foxes that were close to me, and shouted at Hu Zi. Hu Zi hurriedly got up after hearing this, but fell to the ground after running a few steps.
I turned around and saw Hu Zi holding his calf and gasping for air. His calf had been torn to pieces. A large piece of flesh had been torn off at the calf. The blood was dripping and the scarlet flesh was rolling out. It was very scary.
This group of yellow-skinned people were really cruel. They tore off a piece of flesh just by a single encounter. If I hadn't come back in time, I'm afraid Hu Zi would have no good flesh left.
I also got ruthless. I swung the iron shovel in my hand tightly. For a while, the strange "squeaking" sound kept coming one after another. I didn't know how many yellow-skinned people were killed by me. I only knew that there were a lot of yellow-skinned corpses piled up under my feet.
At this moment, I was like a great general in ancient times, holding a halberd. Even if I was alone, even if the enemy was a huge army, I would not retreat a single step. I felt like one man blocking the pass, and ten thousand men could not get through.
I have been learning martial arts from my master for so many years, but I have never really let go of my hands and feet to display my skills. Now I use my full strength, and I feel very satisfied. However
, just as I was still intoxicated in the pleasure of letting go of my hands and feet to fight the enemy, I suddenly felt my shoulders sink. I was startled and turned my head to see a fat yellow-skinned man who had somehow circled behind me and now had jumped onto my shoulder, staring at my neck with his orange eyes.
"Oops!"
I shuddered, thinking to myself that something was wrong, but the yellow fox grinned and showed me a weird smile, then bared its teeth and bit my neck directly.
I reached out to block it, but it was too late.
I stared with wide eyes, watching the yellow fox approaching my neck with its teeth bared. However, when the yellow fox's teeth were only a few centimeters away from my neck, it suddenly stopped, and I saw it staring with wide eyes, full of surprise.
"Damn it, you dare to sneak attack my brothers!" Hu Zi's voice was heard from behind, followed by a strange "squeak". It turned out that Hu Zi grabbed the tail of the yellow-skinned fox and pulled it away directly, then picked it up suddenly and slammed it to the ground.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but in this delay, the group of yellow foxes in front of me had already rushed up. I only felt a pain in my calf. I looked down and saw that a yellow fox had hugged my calf. Its sharp teeth had already bitten on my calf. At this time, it was shaking its head, trying to tear the piece of meat off.
The piercing pain spread throughout my body, making me gasp and arousing my anger. I immediately cursed and stretched out my hand to grab the neck of the yellow fox. With a sudden force on my hand, I directly broke its neck.
But there were too many yellow foxes. Even if I killed one, there were still hundreds and thousands. At this moment, there were no less than ten yellow foxes hanging on my body. There were several scratches on my back, legs, arms and even chest. Blood dripped down the wounds and dyed my clothes bloody.
"Qian Yu..." Hu Zi's cry echoed behind me, followed by the sound of rapid footsteps. After hearing the footsteps, I hurriedly shouted: "Don't fucking come over, run." There
were too many yellow foxes. Looking around, they covered the sky and the ground. Almost every place within the reach of the naked eye had yellow eyes flashing.
I knew that today would definitely not end peacefully. If Hu Zi turned back at this time, he might not only fail to save me, but also sacrifice himself here.
"Go to Guocun to find my master, run." I tore off the yellow leather and yelled at Hu Zi.
"Fuck, by the time I find your master, you'll have been gnawed to pieces." Hu Zi rushed up with a curse, bare-chested, holding the burning shirt in his hand and waving it non-stop.
This move really worked wonders. The group of yellow leathers were frightened by the sudden fire and retreated in unison. Hu Zi took the opportunity to tear off the yellow leather on my body in a few seconds, then dragged me and ran away.
"Take off your clothes too." Hu Zi broke off a branch while running. When I took off my clothes despite the pain, Hu Zi entangled my shirt on the branch and then set it on fire again.
"These beasts are afraid of fire. Let's run quickly. This torch won't last long." Hu Zi said breathlessly. I didn't say anything. I just gritted my teeth and limped down the mountain while enduring the severe pain.
At this moment, the two of us seemed to be racing with the god of death. In the endless darkness behind us, we would occasionally make strange "squeaking" sounds. The sounds seemed to be the death warrant of the god of death, like a maggot attached to our bones, following us like a shadow, and we couldn't get rid of them no matter how hard we tried.
"Something's wrong!" I looked back and saw that the group of yellow-skinned beasts were still following us, but the strange thing was that they didn't get close to us. They just hung about ten meters behind us and followed us at a slow pace.
"Why is it something's wrong?" Hu Zi asked breathlessly.
"They obviously have the speed to catch up with us, but they didn't." I frowned, looking gloomy, while Hu Zi looked surprised: "They may be afraid of the torches in our hands, maybe they want to wait until the torches are extinguished before catching up?"
"That's possible." I took a deep breath and continued: "But there is another possibility."
"What possibility?" Hu Zi asked.
I glanced at the dark road ahead, and then said in a low voice: "That possibility is... There is something more terrible waiting for us ahead, and they are only responsible for driving the two of us to that more terrible thing."
