The sun was blazing overhead.
After traveling for more than an hour along the mountain path, Chen Qingqing finally arrived at Wolf Valley.
Thinking of the ginseng king on the mountain, she didn't linger and headed straight for the valley...
After walking for more than an hour, we arrived at a steep slope where we had rested last time.
Chen Qingqing didn't sit down to rest but continued on her way. She knew that ginseng digging was delicate work and would definitely take a long time.
If we linger too long on the road, encountering wild animals after dark could be troublesome.
That beast had a sharp snout and fangs; just thinking about it is terrifying.
Thinking of this, she felt a chill run down her spine and quickened her pace.
After crossing several more hills, we finally saw a natural stone cave not far away.
Chen Qingqing was overjoyed. Great! As long as she passed through this forest and the stone cave, she wouldn't be far from the Ginseng King.
She perked up and strode forward, leaning on her cane.
Suddenly, she vaguely saw a group of furry, grayish things lying in the grass not far ahead.
Chen Qingqing quickly stopped in her tracks, her heart tightening. What was that thing?
Hare?
No, it doesn't look like one. It looks bigger than a rabbit.
Wild goat?
It shouldn't be; it doesn't seem to have horns.
Am I seeing things?
She rubbed her eyes hard and took a step forward.
Perhaps hearing Chen Qingqing's footsteps, one of the furry creatures suddenly raised its head.
"Oh my god!" Chen Qingqing almost screamed in surprise.
She finally saw clearly that what was lying haphazardly in the grass in front of her was a pack of gray wolves resting.
Chen Qingqing had never been so close to a hungry wolf before, and she was immediately frozen in fear.
I want to run errands, but my feet are out of control, just like in a dream. The more dangerous the situation, the less I can move an inch.
It's unclear whether these normally fierce and brutal wolves were too full to eat or too exhausted to care for the delicious meal that was offered to them.
Only four or five wolves lazily glanced at Chen Qingqing before lying back down in the grass, showing no further reaction.
After a long while, Chen Qingqing finally came to her senses, her heart pounding.
What bad luck! How could I possibly run into a pack of wolves!
We definitely can't go any further now; escaping is the priority.
Seeing that the wolves didn't raise their heads again, she calmed her wildly beating heart and slowly backed away.
Time passed second by second, and feeling that I wouldn't wake them up again, I turned around and ran back with all my might without looking back.
After running over two hills, Chen Qingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh my god, that scared me to death, I finally escaped."
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from behind.
She quickly turned around and was shocked, feeling as if the hairs on her body stood on end.
Then she saw a vicious wolf following closely behind her.
Chen Qingqing stared with terrified eyes, almost bursting into tears.
I'm so anxious, what should I do?
Wolves are ferocious by nature, not only bloodthirsty but also extremely cunning. Today, their chances of survival are slim.
No, we can't just sit here and wait to die; we have to find a way to escape.
She remembered the poisonous incense in her backpack, and with trembling hands, she took out a large stick, intending to light it with a tinderbox to knock the wolf unconscious.
But the wind direction was unpredictable at that moment, so it couldn't reach the vicious wolf at all.
At this moment, the wolf was staring fiercely at Chen Qingqing, looking ready to attack at any moment.
Chen Qingqing didn't want to be bitten to death by the wolf, so she raised the wooden stick in her hand and waved it around a couple of times, "You better get out of the way right now, or I'll smash your head in."
Wolves are naturally suspicious and cautious. Seeing Chen Qingqing turn from passive to active, they took a few steps back in fear.
Seeing this, Chen Qingqing sneered inwardly, "So, it seems you're also a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong."
As the saying goes, the ruthless fear the stubborn, and the stubborn fear the reckless.
I'll fight you to the death to save my life.
She swung the wooden stick in her hand and took two steps forward.
The wolf was startled by Chen Qingqing's fierce approach and instinctively retreated.
Chen Qingqing simply shouted and charged forward.
The wolf was terrified and quickly tucked its tail between its legs and ran away.
Chen Qingqing didn't want to chase after it anymore. She knew that wolves were pack animals, and it would be dangerous if it brought back more companions.
She hurried out of the valley.
But after walking a short distance, he felt something was wrong behind him and quickly turned around to look around. He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Then they saw three more wolves following them from the depths of the grass in the distance.
Now that she was in a life-or-death situation, she dared not be reckless and confront them head-on. She had to run while there was still some distance between them!
Seeing their prey had run far away, the three wolves also started running at full speed.
In order to catch its prey as quickly as possible, the lead wolf let out a low growl, and the other two wolves, as if they had heard a command, quickly separated.
Chen Qingqing ran wildly along the mountain path she had come from. Just then, a wolf leaped down from the hillside ahead like lightning, blocking her way.
Chen Qingqing's head throbbed, and she looked behind her. Two more wolves were already closing in.
She didn't want to die as a wolf, and fearing being attacked from both sides, she quickly ran towards the hillside...
I don't know how long we ran, but we finally climbed to the top of a mountain.
Chen Qingqing was so exhausted that she collapsed to the ground.
Just when she thought she was out of danger, she saw the three wolves chasing after her again with ill intent, their heads down, approaching her step by step.
Chen Qingqing gritted her teeth in anger, forced herself to stand up, and swung the wooden stick in her hand forcefully, shouting, "Get out of my way! Or I'll fight you to the death!"
The three wolves completely ignored Chen Qingqing and continued moving forward slowly.
They planned to find a suitable opportunity to bite off their prey's neck.
Chen Qingqing panicked and lost her composure. She secretly blamed herself for being so bold and risky as to enter Wolf Valley alone.
Now that we are in danger, how can we escape?
Was fate truly destined for her to perish in the wolf's belly?
No, impossible. She possesses supernatural abilities; there's no way she could die like this.
A miracle is bound to happen. Yes, I have the magic ring.
Chen Qingqing raised her hand, her face sincere, "Omnipotent space, quickly think of a way to help me get out of here."
After talking for a long time, the space didn't respond at all.
"Useless stuff, yet they claim there will be other surprises. I think this thing is just bragging."
Just as she was talking to herself, three vicious wolves closed in...
