Chapter 29 – Crisis (2)

“Fourth Brother, I’ll leave the remaining fire wolves up to you. Fifth Brother, protect our Second Brother on your back. Meanwhile, I’ll go and help our big brother.” Xue San instantly killed a fire wolf with his sword. Looking around at the few fire wolves that were left, he ordered the other two with a booming voice. He then turned right and ran in Xue Yi’s and the dragon’s direction.

“Don’t worry about us, Third Brother! There are only about twenty wolves left here. I could bring them all down on my own. Fifth Brother, how about you, are you still ok?” Waving his arms to avoid the incoming fireball, Xue Si tore off the veil covering his face, showing a square-shaped face.

“I’m alright. Fourth Brother, let’s kill all of these bastard wolves!“ Xue Wu, who still carried Xue-er on his back, replied as he nimbly warded off the fireballs.

However, the burning wounds and his slower-than-normal speed showed that he was actually severely injured. Now, Xue Wu strenuously carried on fighting.

Meanwhile, Xue Si was fully prepared to launch a final intense fight with the fire wolves. With a large leap, he jumped into the small group of eight wolves in front of him.

With a crisp crackling sound, two of these wolves’ bellies were cut open, like two ripe watermelons. Without any rest, Xue Si dashed forward and inserted his sword into the head of another fire wolf, which had just shot its fireball. Immediately, he turned around, and killed another wolf, who was behind him.

Within in merely one minute, all eight fire wolves had been exterminated.

Witnessing the bloody slaughter of their counterparts, the rest of the fire wolves showed traces of timidity. After shooting dozens of fireballs, they all scattered away out of sheer panic.

Brandishing his sword in the air, Xue Wu successfully warded off all the incoming fireballs. With a long and deep sigh of relief, he looked around and found that the remaining fire wolves had all run away. However, when he lay his eyes on the body of the King of the fire wolves, he frowned in confusion.

“Haha, so funny, our target is on fire! Hey, Fourth Brother, would you please go over there and check if he’s still alive? If we bring back a dead body, our young lord Wuhen will scold us.”

On hearing this, Xue Si turned around and laughed out loudly.

“Oh, this luckless garbage young lord… The mighty blow exerted by our big brother already made him half-dead. Now, he was attacked by the fireballs. Look, his back is actually on fire, haha…”

Nevertheless, this wasn’t funny at all to Qinghan. He lay there quietly, and secretly communicated with Little Black, “My dear Little Black, are you ok now? Please… Please wake up, otherwise, we’re doomed today…”

- Rustle, Rustle, Rustle! -

With the approaching sound of the footsteps that tread on the weeds, Qinghan had his heart in his mouth. He attempted to summon Little Black many times, however, no reply came. For him, every second was a mental torture, until he finally heard a familiar voice.

“I’m ok now!”

“Oh, thank goodness.” Qinghan had a short talk with Little Black, and quickly rolled himself on the ground to extinguish the burning fire on his back.

“Ooooouch!”

“Ahhhhh!”

The bitter groaning of Qinghan echoed in the forest as he twisted his body up and down in different positions.
