But this time, he only heard the sound of footsteps.
It's a wolf pack!
During his two years in Miaojiang, he often saw wolves roaming around, so he could recognize this kind of sound.
He jumped up and shouted to Zi'an, "Zi'an, run, the wolf is coming."
He ran over quickly, picked up Zi'an and was about to run away, but he saw Chu Jing on the ground. He was covered in blood, his face was hideous, but he couldn't move at all.
Zi'an raised his head and gave him a sad look, "Seventh Brother, I'm not going back. You leave quickly."
"No!" Murong Jie immediately understood that she had remembered everything and she was avenging her child.
He held Zi'an's face and said anxiously, "Listen to me, our daughter is not dead. She is in Bei'an now. Gao Fengtian has gone to pick her up. You will be able to see her soon."
Zi'an laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes. "Don't lie to me. I remember everything. He took the child away. The wolves were nearby and the child was eaten by them. I'm sorry, Lao Qi..."
She was still suppressing her inner grief, and her voice was very soft, but it came out tremblingly.
"No, listen to me, it's true. I saw with my own eyes our daughter, a little over two years old, named Tian'en, was found by a woodcutter and taken back to be raised. She looks exactly like you. It's true. Come with me, and the child will be here in a few days."
"No..." Zi'an suddenly let out a heart-wrenching roar, "I know, she's dead, she was eaten by wolves, she was just born, I didn't have the time to take a good look at her, she must be so scared alone, I have to go to accompany her, Lao Qi, you go back and take care of Hu Tou, I'll go take care of our daughter."
"No, Zi'an, Zi'an, really, I didn't lie to you..." Murong Jie hugged her, his heart burning with anxiety, "I really saw it, it's our daughter. If you die, you won't be able to see her."
Chu Jing, who had been begging for mercy, suddenly laughed out loud, "You don't have to say anything, she won't listen. The curse has taken effect. She can only get rid of the demon in her heart by committing suicide. Unless, unless your dead daughter can be reborn, only a strong impact of joy can free her. Otherwise, even if she doesn't die now, she will die when she goes back."
He risked his life and angered Murong Jie. Perhaps he could have ended his life with a single blow and avoided being eaten by a wolf.
Murong Jie's face turned blue with hatred. He kicked over, snatched Zi'an's dagger, and stabbed it into his eyes.
A shrill scream was heard from Chu Jing's mouth, and blood splattered all over. Chu Jing was unable to move and could only open his mouth and scream wildly, his face looking as ferocious as a devil.
"Xiaodao!" Murong Jie turned around and shouted loudly.
Boss Dao was already frightened, and only after Murong Jie's shout did he come to his senses and hurried over.
"Take the princess away quickly."
The wolves are about to arrive, and humans cannot outrun them, so he can only resist first and give them a chance to escape.
Dao Lao Da quickly picked up Zi An, who had already half lost his mind and waved his hands vigorously, "Put me down, I can only see her if I am bitten to death by the wolf."
When Boss Dao turned around, the wolves had already arrived.
Murong Jie was shocked. He didn't expect that the wolves would come from behind.
Dozens of wolves with blue glow were staring at him, but their focus was temporarily on Chu Jing who was unable to move. However, wolves were good at attacking, and more than a dozen wolves were not enough for one prey.
When Murong Jie saw the leading wolf giving the signal to attack, he took a quick step forward, drew his knife and flew up the tree.
Boss Dao was holding Zi'an, luckily, he held him tightly enough. Murong Jie had already hugged Zi'an when he was in mid-air, and Boss Dao quickly hugged a big tree. Fortunately, he had learned a few moves from General Long, otherwise, it would not have worked if he just relied on brute force.
In order to stop Zi'an from making trouble, Murong Jie had to press her acupoints temporarily.
The wolves rushed forward and bit Chu Jing.
Seeing the wolf's fangs biting his body one by one and blood gushing out, Chu Jing's shrill roar shook the sky. He watched helplessly as his flesh was torn off piece by piece. One of the wolves bit his stomach and dragged out his intestines. Blood was all over the floor. A wolf with some white hair on its neck bit his nose and tore off a piece of flesh from his face. Blood was dripping everywhere. It was indescribably cruel.
Zi'an watched intently. She was acupunctured and unable to move. Looking at this scene, she did not feel it was cruel, but only felt pleasure, a hearty pleasure.
But at the same time, she was in excruciating pain, so much so that her body was shaking even when her acupuncture points were pressed. She thought of her own daughter and was afraid that she had been devoured by the wolf in the same way.
Murong Jie looked at the terrain and thought he would have no problem using Qinggong to leap down from the treetop. However, Dao Lao Da didn't know Qinggong, so he couldn't escape.
If he were to take Boss Dao with him, it would be very difficult, and Zi'an would never abandon Boss Dao.
Hiding in a tree is not a solution, because wolves are very patient and cannot afford to waste time.
He and Boss Dao could go down and fight, but Zi'an couldn't be left unattended. Her emotions were unstable and she had to have her acupoints pressed.
While calculating the escape route, I saw Dao Lao Da jumping down with a big knife in his hand, shouting, "My lord, keep an eye on the princess. I can handle them alone."
Murong Jie's eyes widened as he saw him holding the broadsword in both hands, slashing left and right, jumping forward and backward, with great agility and yet amazing brute force.
Who said he only eats and does not work? Who said a man with an amazing appetite is useless
Who says brute force alone can’t accomplish great things
While Boss Dao was chopping, he was thinking about what Long Zhuzhu had said to him. If Long Zhuzhu saw his bravery now, she would probably be in awe of him, right
However, wolves are very aggressive and once one of their companions is injured, they will attack people madly, so Boss Dao is having a hard time.
Seeing that the big tree next to them was entangled with vines, Murong Jie suddenly had an idea. He rushed over with Zi'an in his arms, cut off the vines with his sword, and then tied Zi'an, who had been acupunctured, to the tree. This way, he would not be afraid of her falling.
After tying her up, Murong Jie touched her face and said seriously, "Zi'an, listen, our daughter is not dead, she is indeed still alive, I am not lying to you, understand?"
Zi'an looked at him steadily, tears welling up in his eyes.
Murong Jie turned over and jumped down to help Boss Dao.
Boss Dao's crisis was resolved and he felt much more relaxed. The fierce battle lasted for about an incense stick of time. Finally, all the enemies were annihilated. Boss Dao also completed his first battle in his life where he fought against more than a dozen people alone.
As for the prince's help later, if he didn't say it, who would know
Only half of Chu Jing's head was left, and his bones were bitten to pieces. The blood on the ground seemed to tell the world that such a person had ever existed.
One generation of emperors and one generation of tyrants died in the deep mountains and forests, and most of them were eaten by wolves.
Murong Jie untied Zi'an and held her in his arms. She was already walking like an idiot, with lifeless eyes.
