"Should we run away quickly?"
Gu Jin was also a little flustered. She felt weak in the knees when she thought of the more than thirty wolves she had encountered during the day.
An Zhengzheng disagreed, saying, "The sun is about to set; it's impossible to clear out another area."
"The danger will only increase at night. It would be best to camp on this hilltop."
After all, who can be sure that there aren't any monsters more terrifying than wolves in other mountains?
Zhu Liucui asked anxiously, "What if those wolves come back?"
An Zhengzheng had the best hearing among the female cultivators present, and she heard the faint sound of drooling.
Looking up, I saw many tiny eyes shining brightly in the darkness, emitting a faint green glow under the moonlight.
She said helplessly, "I'm back... or rather, I never left."
"If you don't believe me, look around."
Upon hearing this, the female cultivators surrounding An Zhengzheng instantly fell silent, looking around in fear.
When I saw it, I was terrified and didn't dare to breathe.
Those who were a little further away also gradually quieted down in this strange atmosphere, following the gazes of those around them.
Everyone saw it!
But none of them dared to move.
An Yirou led Song Juan and Su Ying toward An Zhengzheng.
"Sister, what should we do?" An Yirou was terrified. It was the middle of the night, and all she could see were tiny green eyes.
An Zhengzheng could tell the number at a glance.
She said, "One hundred and seven eyes."
That means there are fifty-three wolves!
Wait, why is there another eye?
“One of them is… a one-eyed wolf?” An Yirou asked, trembling.
Sure enough, the next second, a wolf with a damaged eye crawled out first.
Su Ying's voice trembled as she said, "...It's the Wolf King."
An Zhengzheng made a quick decision: "Everyone who knows how to start a fire, use it!"
In primitive societies, fire could drive away wild animals, and wolves were naturally afraid of it.
The female cultivators who knew how to start fires lit them up, and the surroundings were instantly illuminated.
Those green eyes became even more restless.
They were wary, but even more eager to capture these female cultivators as soon as possible.
An Zhengzheng sensed the urgency of the wolf pack.
"Just as I expected." An Zhengzheng sneered.
An Yirou struggled to use the fire-starting technique, as she had just exhausted herself rescuing those female cultivators.
She asked, "Sister, did you find something?"
An Zhengzheng truthfully said, "Logically speaking, when the wolf pack discovered that we used the fire-starting technique, they should have been afraid or even taken a few steps back, but they instinctively retreated and became even more anxious."
"Sister Zhengzheng, what... what does this mean?" Song Juan was almost in tears.
An Zhengzheng said, "It means they're getting anxious. If it's any later, the demonic beast they fear will return."
This shows that they are truly afraid of what's here.
“We were hung up for a long time during the day, and even if we wanted to fight back, we couldn’t,” Zhu Liucui cruelly stated the truth.
An Yirou also said, "We fought so many monsters during the day, we're exhausted..."
Suddenly, the situation became extremely precarious.
An Zhengzheng also had a headache.
If she were alone, she could still fly on her sword with her abilities, and she would never abandon everyone and run away unless absolutely necessary.
At this moment, the female cultivators were almost in tears.
"Waaaaah, are we really going to perish in the wolf's jaws? Are we really going to have to cultivate at the same speed as the mortal cultivators?"
"If only there were male cultivators here, they would definitely protect us, they are so strong."
An Zhengzheng's head throbbed even more as she listened, and she couldn't help but ask, "Which sects do you all belong to?"
Zhu Liucui knew that among the four female cultivators who saved them, An Zhengzheng was the leader.
Others felt a sense of dependence and respect towards An Zhengzheng.
She replied, "Three are from the Dharma Sect, three are from the Alchemy Sect, and the remaining six are from the Medicine Sect."
“Those three are from the Talisman Sect.” An Zhengzheng was referring to An Yirou and the other two.
"In that case, are the female cultivators of the Dharma Sect capable of constructing a protective barrier?"
As soon as An Zhengzheng asked the question, someone from Fazong spoke up.
"I can." It was Gu Jin who spoke; she was from the Dharma Sect.
She went to mobilize two other practitioners, and they quickly built a protective barrier on the spot.
Because there were only three people, the barrier they set up was triangular, with everyone at the center of the triangle.
"I...I'm not strong enough, I'm afraid I won't last much longer..." one of the cultivators trembled.
An Zhengzheng had An Yirou feed her two pills, which would extend her life by an extra half hour.
"Those from the Medicine Sect, leave two to prepare to take care of the wounded, and the rest who can build fire walls, do so."
"Danzong, has any of you refined any auxiliary pills? See who is weak and give them some."
"Yi Rou, you three talisman cultivators, stick all the talismans on the barrier."
An Zhengzheng began to plan step by step.
Everyone was grateful for An Zhengzheng's kindness, and given the urgency of the situation, no one would argue at this time.
Driven by herd mentality, everyone did as much as possible.
Since I failed anyway, I won't blame myself.
An Zhengzheng said firmly, "Those of you who are willing, come out with me to fight. Those who are not willing, stay here to protect the others."
Having said that, she took her sword and rushed out of the barrier.
The pack of wolves observed for most of the day, and when they saw An Zhengzheng make a move, they began to howl.
This means telling your comrades to prepare for battle.
There were far too many wolves gathered in front of An Zhengzheng, but none of them followed behind her.
Most of the female cultivators dared not step forward. Although death was not real, the pain and fear were real.
They were terrified!
But An Zhengzheng didn't care.
"I'll help you." Zhu Liucui was a little scared, but she still stood behind her. "I... I'm from the Dan Sect."
After An Yirou and the others finished pasting the talismans, they followed behind her with some trepidation: "Sister, we'd like to help you too."
"Alright, without the barrier to support you, you all need to be careful." An Zhengzheng waved her hand, and three talismans were pasted on everyone outside the barrier.
One card to resist fatal attacks, one card to increase running speed, and one card to calm the mind and spirit.
Some were treasures awarded to the top scholar of Siyue Gate, while others were treasures given to her by her father, An Mao, and were reserved for the heirs of the An family.
Several talismans were tightly pasted on the backs of the girls.
Some of the female cultivators inside the barrier were already sobbing uncontrollably, while others were even begging and pleading, hoping that a male cultivator would hear their cries for help and come to their rescue.
Yes, that's what they say in storybooks.
A woman was in danger and her life was in danger when a man jumped out to save her.
A woman was being harassed and tormented by another woman, and a man jumped in to save her like a hero.
The princess was fed a poisoned apple by her wicked stepmother, and the duchess was forced to do hard labor by her wicked stepmother. The man stepped in and made them live happily ever after.
Behind An Zhengzheng was a group of women crying and waiting to be rescued.
Beside her was a girl who was struggling alongside her, gritting her teeth.
They didn't have An Zhengzheng's outstanding abilities, but they stepped forward for various reasons.
An Yirou did it for her sister, out of sisterly affection.
Song Juan and Su Ying were friends.
Zhu Liucui did it to repay a debt of gratitude.
But in essence, they are just like the girls inside the barrier; they are all just trying to survive.
The difference is that they are not the ones waiting to be rescued.
They are the ones who take the initiative and rise to the challenge.
