Chapter 123 Surrounded by Wolves
The group watched the movement on the mountain with alertness. After a moment of silence, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the forest, the rustling sound of footsteps crunching on the dry leaves.
The gray wolf demon teleported in front of the group, followed by a series of gray wolves emerging from the forest behind him.
As one of the gray wolves let out a long howl, the pack of wolves sprang out of the bushes one after another, leaping into the air. They bared their fangs and charged fiercely at Long Chuqing and his companions.
After transforming into a human, the gray wolf had a tall stature, and its deep and cunning eyes were now fiercely glaring at Su Jue before launching an attack.
Xiao Han stared intently at the pack of gray wolves that were pouncing towards him, and instinctively stepped in front of Long Chuqing, extending his arm to protect her behind him.
Seeing Xiao Han blocking her way, Long Chuqing was stunned for a moment. She stared blankly at Xiao Han, only to see him looking ahead with a determined expression.
However, he didn't have a single weapon to defend himself at that moment, yet he still wanted to protect her.
She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "This fool, is he planning to fight the wolves bare-handed?"
Just then, the bronze and green shadows on the side reacted quickly, drawing their swords and blocking Xiao Han's way.
Without hesitation, Qing Tong handed his sword to Xiao Han: "Your Highness, please take it." He himself held the scabbard, preparing to fend off the approaching pack of wolves.
Even so, facing the simultaneous attack of so many wolves, Qingying's forehead was still covered in a fine sweat.
Long Chuqing quickly pulled out the phoenix feather hairpin from her hair and held it in her hand. After pulling her hand back into her cloak, the phoenix feather hairpin transformed into a pale golden whip, with red fine lines intertwined around the feather patterns on the whip.
After receiving the command, the wolf pack pounced on them from all directions like madmen.
Led by the wolf demon, these wolves are no longer ordinary wild beasts. They are more intelligent than ordinary wolves, possessing extremely high wisdom, agile movements, sharp fangs, and super strong bite force.
Moreover, they possess extraordinary speed and energy, their attacks are incredibly swift, and they employ sharp claws and fangs in coordinated attacks.
They can skillfully utilize the current terrain, carefully observe the surrounding situation, and look for the right opportunity to launch an attack.
Even when facing opponents stronger than themselves, they will show fearlessness and not back down.
They attacked ruthlessly, never giving up until they achieved their goal.
Xiao Han stared intently ahead, his long sword flashing out. Two mournful howls rang out as the sword energy, imbued with internal force, instantly slashed down the two wolves that pounced on him.
Wolf blood splattered out, splashing onto the surrounding dry grass.
Meanwhile, Qingying was also slaying the gray wolves that were charging at them. He was frantically swinging his longsword to fend off the wolves while keeping an eye on Xiao Han's situation to prevent any mishaps. He was also helping Qing Tong defend against the wolf pack's attacks.
Bronze, however, was not so fortunate. He only had a scabbard to defend himself, but the scabbard was obviously not very lethal; although it was sturdy, it was not a real weapon.
The scabbard has no sharp edge and cannot cause actual damage to the wolf; it can only be used to strike the wolf's body.
He dared not exert too much force, lest the scabbard break; he could only barely defend himself and was unable to kill the wolves.
Fortunately, he was agile and dodged several attacks from the wolves; otherwise, he would probably have been injured in the face of the surging wolves.
The wolf pack's attack was completely unpredictable; they pounced and bit, and even highly skilled martial artists would find it difficult to withstand the relentless attacks from all sides.
Three wolves pounced on Long Chuqing from behind. Seeing this, Xiao Han pulled her to his side, saying, "Chuqing... be careful." He then swung his sword and killed the wolves in front of him.
"Xiao Han," Long Chuqing said to Xiao Han, "I can protect myself, you take care of yourself."
The smell of blood fueled the wolves' bloodlust, and as they spoke, several more wolves pounced on them from all sides.
Just as Xiao Han was about to swing his sword, Long Chuqing struck first. Her eyes suddenly turned cold, and she raised her hand, whipping the long whip through the air with a sharp sound as it lashed out at the three wolves.
Just as the whip touched the gray wolf's body, the feather patterns on the whip instantly unfolded, the edges of the feathers becoming incredibly sharp, like countless sharp blades cutting into the wolf's body. In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the whip left a horrifying gash.
After howling, the three wolves were thrown off at the same time, falling into the grass in the distance and dying.
As the whip was retracted, the feathers contracted.
Although Xiao Han was puzzled as to when she had brought a whip, he didn't ask any further questions. Knowing that she had a weapon for self-defense, he felt much more at ease.
He added, "Chu Qing... be careful."
“Hmm…” Long Chuqing nodded.
Long Chuqing's expression turned serious as she looked at the pack of wolves before her. She hadn't expected there to be so many wolves on the mountain, and if she had known, she wouldn't have brought Xiao Han and the others here on this dangerous adventure.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Bronze's sword sheath, which he used to defend against the wolves, broke in two when it struck the wolf's skull.
Three wolves pounced on him, but Qing Tong leaped up and delivered a flying kick, sending one of them flying.
While Bronze was dealing with the second wolf, another wolf that was circling around him seized the opportunity to attack from behind and pounce.
Seeing this, Long Chuqing raised her long whip and lashed it at the leaping wolf. Just as the wolf's claws were about to scratch the bronze, she tightened her grip on its neck. With another forceful flick, the wolf was tossed high into the air by the whip.
She pulled back her whip, and the wolf spun in the air before plummeting down, then crashing down violently on the other wolves that were attacking it.
Long Chuqing suddenly tightened the whip, the force of which instantly split the wolf's head and body in two. The wolf that was hit was also violently thrown away and fell into the ditch next to it.
The whip, like a nimble venomous snake, danced and swung in Long Chuqing's hands, whistling sharply as it struck the wolves with deadly precision, leaving deep, bone-revealing wounds.
At this moment, Qingyang and Qingzhou, who had been hiding in the distance to protect the area, noticed the abnormal situation. After exchanging a glance, they rushed over to provide support and join the battle.
Qingyang drew a short knife and handed it to Qingtong next to him. After receiving the knife, Qingtong was no longer so passive, and the group cooperated tacitly in offense and defense.
The men, armed with weapons, dared not relax their guard for a moment, and kept swinging their weapons at the attacking wolf pack, splattering wolf blood all over the ground.
Although the wolf pack in front of them was fierce, it was soon covered in wounds under the combined attack of the group, and painful howls echoed through the mountain stream.
After a fierce battle, the wolf pack had suffered countless casualties. The corpses of gray wolves were scattered all around, a gruesome sight. The dry, yellow grass on the ground was stained red with wolf blood, and the stench of blood, along with the chill, filled the nostrils.
