Xiao Qian waved the long sword in his hand and met the wolf head-on. He spun it half a meter away from the wolf, and with his long arm holding onto the sword's hilt, he stabbed it into the wolf's throat.

The wolf whimpered in pain, still unwilling to let go of the food near its mouth. It opened its bloody mouth and roared at Su Zhi.

Ah!

That wolf head was only ten centimeters away from her, so she could clearly see its sharp, eerie white teeth.

"Aowu ~"

The thick smell of blood stimulated the beast's nerves. Seeing that the gray wolf was shackled, the other two wolves that had hidden themselves in the wild started to attack as well.

The two wolves pounced on Su Zhi at the same time. She was scared out of her wits. A chill ran up her spine as she instinctively ran towards the empty space at the side.

From time to time, the howls of the wild wolves could be heard behind him, like a series of death talismans, stabbing into one's ears.

But the wolf did not catch up quickly.

Xiao Qian protected her behind him and used his sword to make a path for her to escape.

Su Zhi did not dare to look back. She was clearly scared to death, but she was still worried about Xiao Qian's safety.

She forced herself to calm down. She had to think of a way to save Xiao Qian. A pair of him would definitely suffer a loss.

On the other side.

Xiao Qian was fighting with the three huge wolves. He thought that Su Zhi would have gone far, so he let go.

Ah!

Just as he relaxed his mind, the screams of a woman came from not too far away.

Xiao Qian panicked and used his Qing Gong to chase after her.

Originally, the mountain road was not steep and easy to walk on, so Su Zhi turned her foot in a hurry.

"Are you alright?"

"No …." "It's fine."

Su Zhi gritted her teeth. She was angry that she was useless and struggled to get up. A bone-piercing pain came from her ankles.

The two gray wolves and the injured one quickly caught up.

Xiao Qian had no time to pay attention to Su Zhi's injuries as he focused on dealing with them.

Su Zhi collapsed and continued to stumble down the mountain, ignoring the pain from her numb feet.

On the other side.

Behind Xiao Qian was a steep cliff. If he wasn't careful, he would step on it and fall.

The three wild wolves saw that he was alone and helpless. Their eyes glowed green as they salivated.

Xiao Qian smiled. He was not afraid of surrounding wolves and did not plan to go head to head with them. His top priority was to find Su Zhi. He was afraid that something might happen to her in this wilderness.

Just as he was about to flip over and jump off the cliff, a flame lit up on his left, accompanied by the woman's brazen shout, "Ah! Burn you beasts to death! "

Xiao Qian's hand slightly trembled as he held the sword. This woman was truly … Didn't I tell her to leave!? Coming back to die?

"What are you doing?"

"General, do not be afraid. I know that wolves are afraid of fire. They do not dare to approach us."

Xiao Qian felt his temple twitch. He was speechless. Should he thank her for her consideration? They thought that he was so useless that he couldn't even handle a mere three headed wolf!

"Come here if you dare!"

Su Zhi bundled up the dead grass in a bundle and used a kerosene lamp to light up the dead grass. The torch burned brilliantly and the falling sparks ignited the surrounding weeds as well.

Xiao Qian felt his head ache. Did this woman want to burn the wolves or themselves?

"Put down the torch. Be careful to light it up and set it on fire."

"That won't happen, I know my limits …"

Before he could finish his sentence, a dark red light shot into the sky from less than a hundred meters away from the two of them.

'Bang! ' With a loud bang, red sparks blossomed in the pitch-black night sky, followed by several other loud sounds that cut through the night sky.

Su Zhi was dumbfounded, she did not notice that the fire had already become more intense.

The spreading flames forced the wolves to retreat, and with a few explosions, the surrounding wolves lost their momentum and retreated. They whimpered a few times before disappearing into the night.

"Su Zhi, what did you do?"

"I... I just lit a torch. "

Xiao Qian was both angry and anxious at the same time. He wished he could slap her on the head and ignite the flare with a torch.

Now, everyone in the military base had to know that the two of them didn't sleep in the middle of the night, so they ran around the back of the mountain.

Su Zhi also felt that she had done something wrong. When she had ignited the ignition just now, she might have accidentally ignited something that should not have been ignited.

Sure enough, after hearing the sound of the signal detonator igniting, the originally quiet military camp was instantly lit up. Large numbers of soldiers heard the sound and rushed towards the back of the mountain while looking for the colorful smoke in the sky.

"How... "What should we do?"

"What else can we do? Run!"

Su Zhi was on the verge of tears. Typically, good intentions couldn't do good.

At this moment, the only road down the mountain had been blocked. Soldiers with weapons at their waists were holding torches, rushing up one after another.

Su Zhi panicked and almost ran into the soldiers searching for her. Xiao Qian pulled her over and ran towards the southeast.

"General, slow down. I-I can't run anymore."

"Even if you can't run, you still have to. If the soldiers run into you, how do you explain yourself? It doesn't matter to me as a man, but your innocence is gone. "

Su Zhi was so tired that she was gasping for breath as he pulled her along. Her ankle had just been sprained, so she could not run. She just sat down on the ground and gave up.

"I can't run anymore. I'm not running anymore, at most I'll just speak the truth. It's my responsibility. I won't shirk from my responsibilities, and I'll admit it even if I eat the army stick and eat the board."

Xiao Qian turned his head to look at her and squatted down with a mischievous smile, "Is that true?" I told you, if that board were to go down, your butt would probably blossom, not to mention your tender skin and body. You will be beaten until you spit out blood, and your life will be in danger. "

Su Zhi pursed her lips and looked at him innocently. She couldn't help but cry. "General …"

Xiao Qian raised his eyebrows and teased, "Why don't you go and get punished? I don't have to take you and run all over the place."

Su Zhi quickly shook her head. "No, no, no. Run, I can still run!" "Running at night is good for physical and mental health!"

Without waiting for him to pull her, the woman let out a howl and ran towards the forest.

Xiao Qian couldn't help but laugh.

The two of them were hiding in the forest, but there were more and more soldiers searching, so they had no choice but to hide in the trees.

"Go over there and check if there are any random people around!"

"Also, do not let any of the soil over there go! Search carefully one by one!"

The two people who were chased to the point where they had lost their bearings were hiding in the trees. Using the camouflage of the night sky and the cover of the tree branches, they were lucky enough to escape this calamity.

Su Zhi panted, anxiously watching the movements under the tree. Fortunately, it was the time of midsummer, and the luxuriant foliage was the best shelter.

It was just that after running for so long, his entire body was drenched in sweat.

The one leading the search was the vice commander of the army, Tan Zhao. This person was a capable general like Xiao Qian.

Su Zhi had met him a few times, he was a strong and burly man in life, but he was extremely meticulous and had a keen insight.

'Bang! ' Not far away, there was a signal detonator ignited. Multicolored lights lit up the night sky as if it was daytime.
