Chapter 194 - Ling Xiao's Gift
The deeper they went, the quieter it became. There was even a strange feeling of serenity. Moreover, they were surrounded by trees, flowers, plants, and could not see the exit. It was easier for people to feel fear.
Suddenly, the quiet air was broken by the sound of an arrow piercing through the sky. Ling Xiao used his sharp perception to easily capture the sound.
After determining the direction, Ling Xiao lifted his leg and walked over. Because he had been staying on the ground the entire time, there was a huge gap in his field of vision.
Looking down from above, his field of vision grew wider. Following that direction, Ling Xiao was able to pinpoint the origin of the sound, it was a small hunting team, with a total of eight people, considered as large in the entire group, which meant that they had come prepared, probably with information provided by the people from Female Genuine who were familiar with the distribution of the prey.
After that, Ling Xiao turned and looked, wanting to see what kind of prey they were chasing, only to realise that it was not one, but two!
They were two wolves in the desert, and he did not know why they would appear in such a place. According to logic, they would not come to eugenol to live, unless they were looking for food.
However, wolves were not animals that moved alone. In this way, they could accurately guess that there were other wolves around these people!
At this time, Ling Xiao started to worry if the other people that were deep inside the eugenol would encounter these wolves.
However, the current situation did not seem to be able to let Ling Xiao concentrate on thinking, because he quickly discovered that the thing he was worried about had already happened.
However, the eight people were still oblivious as they were still staring at the two hungry wolves in front of them. It seemed like they didn't notice at all.
This was a very dangerous situation, but after thinking about the prey they were facing, Ling Xiao more or less understood. After all, if he was slightly careless, they might be eaten up by the two hungry wolves.
These people only had beast skins or coarse clothes. They didn't have any armor, so they couldn't resist the sharp teeth and sharp claws of the wolf. No wonder they were so wary of these two wolves.
Ling Xiao did not rush to inform them because the wolf's perception was very sharp. Although with Ling Xiao's strength, he could avoid alerting them, but if Ling Xiao wanted to notify those people, he had to come into contact face to face, otherwise, it would be impossible to let them know.
Although wolves had a strong attacking ability, they would all be well-prepared before attacking. This also gave Ling Xiao and that small team more time to react, at least for Ling Xiao, there would be some free time.
Because Ling Xiao was worried that the other teams would encounter wolves, he planned to observe their layout before the wolves attacked them. He would notify the nearby teams to leave, and then seriously help the surrounded team.
In order to make use of this opportunity, Ling Xiao used the lightness exercise. The bough standing on the large tree gracefully left the place and began to walk around the wolf pack to observe. In the end, what made Ling Xiao feel at ease was that there was only this trapped group of people around, and no one else was around.
In that case, Ling Xiao was not afraid, he was very confident in taking care of the team.
Once again returning to the branch that he used to observe them, Ling Xiao realized that the wolves were already about to attack!
Perhaps it was because the wolf pack was getting closer and closer, but the team finally reacted. With one person's cry of alarm, everyone knew that they were in danger. Although they were all battle-hardened soldiers and experienced hunters, they were still very afraid when facing an extremely large number of wolves.
At this time, Ling Xiao made a rough estimate and discovered that there were more than forty wolves. Not to mention the eight-man team, even if it was the entire Female Genuine s themselves, they would have to carefully weigh the pros and cons before going against this pack of wolves.
"We're finished, we're finished! We're all going to die here today!" One of them looked around at the surrounding scene and cried out in despair.
Looking at his appearance, he seemed to be from the Female Genuine s, but the other clan members of Ye Lvhongji were not much better off, even though they did not shout out, they still stood there foolishly without any movements, and looked like they did not have any ways to deal with him.
Ling Xiao knew that if he continued to wait, they would definitely be hurt by the wolves.
Just as the first wolf was about to pounce on a person, Ling Xiao made his move, and just as he was about to leave the tree branch, Ling Xiao casually broke a rather sturdy bough, aimed at the wolf's head, and threw it away.
With a 'pu' sound, the wolf collapsed. Its brain exploded into a flower of blood, and it died instantly.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene unfold in front of them, including the wolves. They all stopped their attacks because even with their animal instincts, they did not sense the existence of this tree branch, and they did not know that there was another person flying above their heads.
As the wolf's head exploded, the frightened crowd finally reacted. They knew that this situation was definitely man-made, so the first thing they did after they reacted was to look around in search of others.
"It's the Sect Master Ling!" When one of the sharp-eyed person found Ling Xiao, he immediately let out a surprised cry.
Hearing that, everyone turned to look, and sure enough, it was Ling Xiao himself.
"That's great! Sect Master Ling has come to us! " After confirming that it was Ling Xiao himself, everyone cheered. In their eyes, Ling Xiao's arrival meant that they would be safe.
Ling Xiao directly landed on the ground in front of everyone, this gave them the greatest sense of security.
"Sect Master Ling, you came at just the right time, we don't know what to do." A Female Genuine disciple shouted excitedly. Looking at him, it seemed as if she was about to shed tears and snot.
A member of Ye Lvhongji's clan who was at the side was fine, but when he saw Ling Xiao, he almost rushed to Ling Xiao's side to hide, completely losing his initial reverence for Ling Xiao. It had to be said, the fear of death made him forget about Ling Xiao's terror.
However, it could also be because he had never come into direct contact with Ling Xiao that he did not know the fear of being poisoned.
In short, Ling Xiao's arrival made them all heave a sigh of relief.
