Her older sister bit her lip tightly, her eyes warily scanning her surroundings.
"Alright, that's all I have to say. Now, use all your strength to traverse this jungle!"
After the scarred man finished speaking, he stepped aside from the group of children.
At a command, the children rushed into the forest as if their lives depended on it, including Xie Zhou and her sister.
"Little sister, I'm holding your hand, run with me! Don't get lost!"
The older sister also pulled out a small dagger, her eyes filled with determination.
"Okay, sister!"
Xie Zhou readily agreed.
"Follow me... Don't get lost..."
In my mind, a man's voice suddenly appeared again.
"Who am I...who am I...who am I really...?"
The more Xie Zhou ran, the more confused she became. She could hardly remember anything from her time at the Sword Sect, as if she had always been a part of this war-torn era.
"Little sister, let me carry you on my back!"
His body was really weak. After running a few steps, Xie Zhou was already out of breath and his running speed gradually slowed down.
Seeing that those who were originally running behind them were now rushing ahead of them, Xie Zhou was very worried.
"Sister, why don't you run first and don't worry about me?"
Unconsciously, Xie Zhou shed two lines of clear tears.
"Silly sister, what nonsense are you talking about? Without you, what's the point of me living in this world?"
The older sister gritted her teeth and carried her younger sister on her back.
"Aaaaaaah!"
"Help! Help me!"
The group of teenagers who rushed forward let out a blood-curdling scream a few dozen seconds later.
A girl running towards the jungle on the right was suddenly caught in a man-eating tree. The tree tightened its vines, and the girl's initial fierce struggle turned into silence. It was clear that she was about to die.
The boys and girls running to the left were being torn apart by a group of unknown creatures. Blood splattered everywhere in an instant, and they died shortly afterward.
"Run! Run! We have to run fast!"
The older sister mumbled a few words, then without another word, she ran quickly toward the middle of the road.
Blood splattered onto Xie Zhou's face. Xie Zhou swallowed hard and froze.
"Sister, behind... behind..."
As she ran, she kept dodging various traps coming from all around.
Seeing his friends around him lose their vitality one by one, Xie Zhou's voice trembled even more.
"Don't worry... I'll protect you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Zhou saw a pair of fiery red eyes.
Suddenly, many pairs of fiery red eyes appeared all around, and the soaring killing intent sent a chill down Xie Zhou's spine.
"Fire wolves! Fire wolves! Sister! We've encountered a pack of fire wolves!"
Xie Zhou spoke in a trembling voice.
She had no idea why she knew about the Fire Wolf Pack.
"Fire wolf pack..."
The older sister gritted her teeth and put Xie Zhou down.
"The pack of fire wolves is not to be trifled with; once encountered, it will surely be a fight to the death..."
The older sister bit her red lips lightly, and her eyes held a hint of determination as she looked at Xie Zhou.
"Xie Zhou, sister, hold them off immediately! You run! Run as fast as you can! Got it?"
The older sister gripped the dagger at her waist again, assuming a fighting stance.
"ah!"
She was the first to charge towards the pack of fire wolves, dagger in hand.
The knife plunged directly into the eye of one of the fire wolves.
"Awoo!"
A dozen meters away from Xie Zhou, a fire wolf howled to the sky.
As if given some kind of command, the dozens of fire wolves on the scene charged towards the older sister one after another.
"elder sister!"
Xie Zhou held the dagger and waved it around incessantly. For some reason, a sense of fear welled up in his heart.
A fire wolf pounced directly at Xie Zhou.
"ah!"
Xie Zhou cried out in alarm, his eyes tightly shut, his body curled up in a ball, trembling.
After a while, the imagined pain did not come.
Xie Zhou opened his eyes and saw that it was his sister who had blocked the wolf's attack with her body.
"Die, all of you!"
The older sister, her eyes bloodshot with rage, roared and plunged her dagger straight into the head of the fire wolf that was biting her arm.
The fire wolf let out a whimper and then died.
"Little sister, are you alright?"
My sister's hair was disheveled, her clothes were soaked with blood, and blood was trickling from the corner of her mouth. She looked extremely weak.
But she still used her shaky body to protect Xie Zhou, not wanting her to get hurt in any way.
"Sister... Waaaaah... Sister, what's wrong with you, sister... Waaaaah..."
Xie Zhou felt a pang of pain in his heart, and tears instantly welled up like a spring.
"I...cough cough...I just got a minor injury, it's nothing, really nothing..."
The older sister gave Xie Zhou a miserable look.
"Sister, be careful!"
Taking advantage of their weakened state, a fire wolf lunged at the older sister's back with its claws.
"ah!"
Xie Zhou, emboldened by some unknown source, drew his dagger and swiftly plunged it into the fire wolf's skull.
The fire wolf died instantly.
"I...I want to protect my sister too!"
Xie Zhou said this in a huff.
"Shall we go out together?"
Seeing the burning fighting spirit in Xie Zhou's eyes, his sister smiled slightly at him.
"Okay, sister, let's get out of here together!"
The two sisters, as if injected with adrenaline, engaged in fierce combat with the pack of fire wolves.
However, the fire wolf pack is large in number. If the pack leader is not dealt with directly, the wolves will likely continue to grow like a tidal wave.
"elder sister……"
Xie Zhou and the older sister both noticed this problem at the same time.
"I'll hold your hand, sister!"
The two exchanged a glance and immediately understood what the other was thinking.
"good!"
Xie Zhou nodded to his sister, took her hand, and as his sister lightly touched the stones with her toes, Xie Zhou pulled her hand and began to spin her around.
Using the force generated by the rotation, the older sister successfully landed in front of the Fire Wolf King and ended its life with lightning speed.
"Let's see you act arrogantly, you little bastard!"
My sister was covered in the blood of the Fire Wolf King.
Seeing that their wolf king had fallen, the wolf pack instantly collapsed and retreated in disarray, quickly being scattered by Xie Zhou and his sister.
"They're finally gone..."
Xie Zhou let out a long breath and immediately collapsed to the ground.
"Don't stop, we haven't reached the finish line yet, little sister, keep going..."
The older sister came over and forcefully pulled Xie Zhou up from the ground.
"I wonder how many people have already left. We need to hurry. I heard that this time only the top ten are eligible. Anyone who doesn't make it past the top ten will be eliminated."
