Chapter 1776: Chapter 1776: Should We Save Her?
But she was so tired, hugging herself, she unknowingly closed her eyes.
She wasn’t sleeping deeply, nor was it stable, in a state between sleeping and waking.
After an unknown amount of time, she heard a rustling sound coming from the grass.
The dark, icy, dangerous, and bloodthirsty aura was closing in gradually.
Jian Yufei suddenly opened her eyes and met several pairs of glowing green eyes!
Three wolves had approached them without knowing when.
They didn’t come forward, standing not far away, staring at them with cold eyes.
Jian Yufei’s whole body was stiff, she trembled and tightened her grip on the wooden stick and then looked up at Junqi.
He was already awake, standing on a tree branch, motionless.
Jian Yufei thought if he didn’t come down, nothing would happen, right?
Although he could deal with one wolf, how would he handle three?
As long as the child was safe, it was fine for her, if she was unfortunate enough to die, it would be her fate.
…
If they didn’t move, the wolves wouldn’t either.
After an uncertain standoff, one of the wolves became impatient, wanting to launch an attack.
At this point, Jian Yufei was no longer afraid.
She had a knife in one hand and a wooden stick in the other, ready for a desperate fight.
Suddenly, Junqi jumped down from the tree branch, and the three wolves pounced on him simultaneously—
Jian Yufei’s heart almost stopped, Junqi was already prepared, swiftly swinging his sword.
The wolves hurriedly retreated, one had its belly slashed open, blood flowing out continuously.
“Awoo—” The injured wolf howled, and the other two also howled.
Were they calling for more companions?
Jian Yufei’s face turned as pale as paper.
Then, the wounded wolf faced Jian Yufei, while the other two continued to confront Junqi.
Jian Yufei slowly stood up and retreated.
For every step she took back, the wolf took two steps forward.
Soon, Jian Yufei was against a large tree, with nowhere to retreat.
The two wolves besieging Junqi remained still, while Junqi was waiting for them to attack.
Jian Yufei clenched the knife between her teeth and gripped the wooden stick with both hands.
The injured wolf tentatively attacked, she swung the stick forcefully without much lethal impact—
The wolf had gauged her strength, not too wary of her anymore, slowly approaching, poised to pounce and tear her apart at any moment.
Junqi’s peripheral vision caught sight of Jian Yufei.
A flicker of complex emotion passed through his cold eyes.
Seeming to consider whether to save her.
He tilted his head, suddenly recalling the scene earlier when she killed a snake that had come close, ready to attack him.
He didn’t understand what it meant to save or help someone.
But it was the first time someone had helped him eliminate danger.
Junqi decisively took the initiative to attack the two wolves.
With a lot of experience dealing with wolves, combined with his agility, he quickly took care of the two.
The wolf besieging Jian Yufei turned and saw its companions were dead, it chose not to attack Junqi but viciously pounced on the vulnerable Jian Yufei.
“Ah—” Jian Yufei forcefully swung the wooden stick, the wolf fell to the ground with a thud, twitching and howling.
Jian Yufei’s eyes widened when she saw the katana deeply embedded in its body.
Junqi came over, pulled out the katana, the wolf was already dying.
Jian Yufei collapsed to her knees, drenched in sweat.
She felt on the verge of breaking down, wanting to cry—
Is this the danger her child has to face every day?
Jian Yufei clutched the dirt on the ground, bowing her head, biting her lip hard.
“Junqi, do you want to leave? Shall we leave here, okay?”
