Chapter 219 - Too Scared to Move

Shocked by Jing Yue’s imposing manner, Jing Lang and Fang Zicheng trembled and fell back before they even realized that. Astonished, they stared at Jing Yue who stood there, drawing a bow.

Armed escorts were almost certain to succeed. Just when the bandits were about to fall, out of the mountain suddenly rushed two wolves. They bit the armed escorts with their sharp teeth and claws. Everyone was scared.

The bandits were also startled. But before they tried to defend against the wolves, they realized that the wolves bit the armed escorts only, as if they managed to recognize. They avoided the bandits, instead.

The bandits were overjoyed to see this. They gathered their strength, took up weapons and started to fight back. Held back by the wolves, the two escorts were so anxious that they couldn’t help looking at the man in grey who remained seated in the carriage.

Obviously, they expected him to help. But the man remained still as if he were frozen.

In the corner where no one was noticing, a big drop of sweat trickled down his brow.

The killing intent locked on him like a serpent really panicked him. Since he began to make a living decades ago, he had never been forced into such a hopeless situation. Covered by the killing intent, he was even too scared to move. He could nearly saw the one in the shadows scaring at him coldly. The killing arrowhead was aiming at his throat. He gulped slowly.

“Chief!” shouted the two escorts who were held up by wolves while the officers were approaching.

Hearing their cry, the quiet man in grey suddenly sprang up and quickly drew the broadsword beside him. He wielded it in front of his chest.

“Clang!!” A cold arrow whizzed past his broadsword. Wham! It pricked his shoulder and blood spurted. The impact rolled him down the carriage. He looked up abruptly, right at where Jing Yue was standing.

All he could see was a petite figure in the forest and… her dark green eyes.

Unusual pupils!

The man in grey was frozen at where he stood. He stared at that direction in horror. But when he blinked and looked again, no one was there as if nothing had appeared. Before his fear dissipated, there came rhythmical whistles, echoing in the forest.

“Howl!” Wolves stopped and howled. They quickly knocked away whoever in their way and jumped at the forest. In a few seconds, they were out of sight.

The bandits wouldn’t stay when they found the wolves gone. In a twinkling, they rushed into the thick forest and ran away in all directions. Armed escorts didn’t know which direction they should follow. Besides, they were so badly hurt that they could hardly leave the carriage.

“Chief!” yelled the two armed escorts when they rushed to the man in grey with embarrassment. They were shocked to see him standing up and covering his bleeding shoulder with his hand.

“I’m fine.” replied the man. He looked over forty years old. At this moment, he still remained shocked. As he looked at where the arrow came from, he had a lingering fear. He frowned and shook his head.

“What was happening?” asked the two armed escorts, looking at the wound on his shoulder.
