Chapter 3: The Battle of the Wolves

"Unfortunately, this is a contract governed by the deity. Unless one of us dies, it is impossible to stray too far apart." Channing said triumphantly, "In other words, you cannot sustain yourself. As long as you are within my control, you can only act at my command."

Having been healthy all her life, when has she ever felt such pain? In that moment, she felt as if she could cry

Do not be deceived by her strong demeanor; inside, she is screaming and trembling. Coming from a civilized society, she has only seen wolves in the zoo, and even then, they were just a few lean and agile ones.

Both humans and wolves suffered heavy casualties, yet it was evident that the humans were in a state of complete defeat. Everyone was blinded by rage, disregarding any form of command, fighting desperately for survival

However, if time were to extend a bit longer, it would be impossible to stop her... In the past, Mingxi was only capable of running a distance of 10,000 meters, and after finishing, she felt utterly exhausted, like a dead dog. Her strength was also quite average; in order to maintain her figure, she hardly engaged in any strength training...

In the center of the arena, there is an elderly wizard casting spells. It appears that he is not an offensive mage, as so far, the only spells observed are earth walls and earth spikes, which do not pose a significant threat to the wolves

A swordsman was blocking the way ahead, ensuring safety. Channing turned around and saw Mingxi lying on the ground, having been knocked down by a giant wolf, with the sharp wolf's fangs poised to bite down.

Suddenly filled with clarity and an overwhelming sense of courage, she sprang to her feet and rushed toward the source of the battle sounds, feeling that even if it were dangerous, dying was better than staying with this man

She certainly would not foolishly dream of slaughtering these wolves; she could only use these seemingly powerful techniques to continuously intimidate and intercept them. Clearly, this approach is still effective at present, as the giant wolves are threatened by the silver tips of the spears no matter from which direction they attack.

The only old mage in the group has already slumped to one side, still under the protection of the swordsman, but the protective barrier has been weakening increasingly.

Mingxi was taken aback; she truly had not anticipated this. After all, she was not Superman, and saving others depended on her own capabilities. However, if she did not help, her conscience would not allow her to rest.

The swordsman sheathed his sword and embraced clarity

With tired eyes that could barely open, I forced a smile and said, "There is no need to be so polite; I should thank you all..."

Fortunately, it was not the first time the two had camped in a dangerous environment, and they quickly adapted. As usual, Mingxi was cleaning his gun, while Channing sat cross-legged in meditation

After a long time, Mingxi finally could no longer bear the pangs of conscience. He repeatedly urged Channing, who reluctantly got up, walking over while pulling out several scrolls from somewhere.

Channing focused intently on releasing the scroll, unaware that several wolves caught in the net were stealthily approaching from the shadows, circumventing the earthen wall.

Hearing the wolf's mournful howl, I clearly understood that I was safe, and thus focused on pushing the wolf away

Ah! Channing let out a cry and fell to the ground. The wolf's head was about to approach when a silver gun timely intervened, swinging and flicking, causing the wolf's head to retreat.

Ah, the Gaogang Plain... Mingxi pouted and suddenly exclaimed, "Damn! Where are we going to sleep? What are we going to eat? Are you out of your mind? We have rooms but aren't staying in them, and instead, we're going out to fight a wild battle?!"

Channing sometimes knows what he is thinking out of habit. He said that as long as the master is close to the magical pet, if the thoughts are strong in their hearts, both sides can sense it

Mingxi quickly followed, trying hard to guess the reason for Channing's foolishness, and then hesitantly asked: "Did you see someone?"

At this moment, the sun has already set in the west, casting a fiery glow over the plains. A brilliant red light envelops the landscape, while blood-colored clouds surge at the horizon. Occasionally, the howls of wild beasts echo, adding a bloody and enchanting beauty to the plains

Helpless, Mingxi saw that the four giant wolves were about to pounce from behind, so he had no choice but to crouch down and sweep his weapon, then spin and thrust, this time aiming directly for the wolves' eyes

This is a placeholder text.

"So uncertain?" Channing frowned, "Then let's wait a little longer, until they are completely at a disadvantage. It would be best if it were a matter of life and death."

With the arrival of external aid, the morale of the mercenary group surged. The old mage cast a spell, surprisingly using a wall of earth to block the path of the wolves charging towards Channing. Channing was momentarily taken aback, and during this time, he quickly threw several more scrolls, creating a sea of fire upon a sea of fire, followed by swamp and freezing spells. The wolf pack was successively frozen in the ground and then systematically slain by the swordsmen.

Do you think I am willing? ! '' Channing also shouted, shaking off the clarity and continuing to walk forward on his own.

Turning around ... ! ... a giant wolf's massive head was facing him, and he could even see the fangs and saliva in the wolf's mouth

Channing trembled in place for a moment, then got up and ran backward, his eyes nearly popping out in clarity, growing even angrier: "Cast the spell! Why are you running!"

Seeing him change the subject, Mingxi did not ask further questions, honestly following along, and truly began to pray in his heart

Channing: "Don't act as if you just found out now"

With a cry of pain, a long gash appeared on her arm, causing excruciating agony. In an instant, another wound opened on her back. She swung her gun to fend off another wave of attacks, but was suddenly struck hard.

Thus, the wolf ungraciously pressed down on Mingxi

The leading swordsman stepped forward and crouched down: "Hello, esteemed warrior. Perhaps you would not mind if I carried you back to the camp to rest. Although we do not have a priest of light, we do have a small amount of herbs that can treat your wounds"

The damned contract forces me to obsess over this guy's safety like a dog! I was just thinking of killing him to break the contract, and then I immediately felt weak all over. God, you really do exist

Hello, insidious one

There is fighting nearby!" Channing suddenly spoke, seemingly quite agitated, but soon calmed down, "You, go investigate.

Before sinking into the sea of consciousness, it seemed that the swordsman said something, but I did not remember it

What?! Me?! I pointed at myself in disbelief, "Are you even a man? How could you make such a little girl do something like this?!"

The remaining four wolves had already expended a considerable amount of energy and had sustained varying degrees of injury, making them easily dealt with by the swordsmen

Do you have a grudge? ... This was Channing's first reaction. He turned to run, only to find that the several swordsmen were not focused on him, but rather on his ...! ... behind him!

You have thrown it away, I couldn't be more pleased

After tearing the scroll, he pointed forward into the void, and a great fire suddenly ignited beneath the wolf pack. The wolves on the grassland howled in despair, rolling on the ground. Immediately, some wolves redirected their fury and charged towards Channing's direction

A few swordsmen were running over with great effort from a distance, and the face of the leading handsome man was already faintly visible

When the wolves ahead had been mostly eliminated, in order to display his prowess, he also activated the fire hunt

"Indeed, she is Kaelir," Channing gritted his teeth, "Pray that we encounter a mercenary group; otherwise, the nights on the high hills will be an unforgettable experience for you."

Gaogang Plain. Seeing Mingxi in a daze, Chaning answered her unspoken question with a hint of disdain

Beyond the small town, after passing through a small grove, lies an endless plain

In a state of trepidation, nightfall quickly descended. Neither of the two possessed night vision nor heroic spirit, so they could only light a fire and tremble in the darkness

Channing paused his steps and turned his head fiercely: "You still say you can't sense what I'm thinking!"

Ah! The clear and prolonged scream, her arms already too weak to hold the gun, yet at that moment she could almost see the tonsils deep within the wolf's mouth. That kind of fear caused her to erupt suddenly; with both hands pushing, the silver gun was thrust into the wolf's mouth, bracing against its head.

Without a second thought, Mingxi rushed forward, positioning his gun horizontally to block behind Channing's right side, his fierce gaze fixed on those pairs of green eyes.

The foul stench from the wolf's mouth, an overwhelming weight... The remnants of last night's meal and the air from the chest have been completely expelled

Do not forget that you are my magical pet, and I still need to support you. If you are of no use at all, then I will throw you away

The crackling of the campfire, the sound of a heartbeat, the whisper of the wind, the rustling of grass... Clearly distinguishing these sounds, but no, it seems there is another sound... It is like...

Soon, the wolves at the back also arrived, with two surrounding, while the other two lunged directly at Channing

As the blazing flames encircled him, several swordsmen leisurely killing wolves ahead suddenly let out a scream, and then a few of them charged at him wildly with their swords raised.

The wolf hesitated for just a moment before pouncing. Mingxi, steeling himself, shouted loudly as he stepped forward with his gun, employing the Yue Family Spear Technique to rush ahead. The leading wolf let out a furious roar and leaped towards him. Mingxi aimed the tip of his gun at the ground on the other side of the wolf's throat and thrust upward.

The swordsmen charged forward without taking the time to clarify the situation, directly plunging into the wolf pack

It is not that I sensed what you were thinking, but rather that I felt a strange sensation upon seeing a table full of people... I do not know why, but I harbor a particular resentment towards a beautiful young lady. I find it puzzling, as she has no enmity with me, so why do I hate her? This led me to think of you... From a clear perspective, individuals in their teens and twenties are generally considered juniors. Psychologically, she is approaching thirty, regardless of the fact that she is younger than those she considers her juniors.

However, Channing still showed no intention of helping her; rather, he was still focused on slaughtering the large pack of wolves attacking the mercenary group ahead.

With blood all over her body, both her own and that of the wolf, she felt that Dong Cunrui was no better than this. Seeing Cha Ning in such a dire state, she gritted her silver teeth in anger and exclaimed, "Fool! Get up and help!"

The swordsman who had just taken the lead stepped forward and helped Mingxi push aside the wolf carcass

Channing nodded and took out the scroll: "Let's do it!"

Finally, I have come back to life! With great effort, I managed to sit up, but my arms went weak, and I fell back down again, feeling as if I had just been run over by a steamroller several times.

For a long time, Mingxi, who had been classified as a melee profession, had no time to observe the dazzling area spells from a distance. She recalled Channing's theory on transferring anger and fixed her gaze intently on the area around Channing.

Mingxi looked for a while, then quietly ran back to ask Channing if he needed help

While cursing inwardly, she suddenly squinted her eyes. Behind Channing, she saw several pairs of glimmering green eyes moving. Channing remained completely unaware, focused solely on tearing the scroll and casting spells.

The Gaogang Plain stretches endlessly, and when Channing first arrived, it took three days and three nights by horse-drawn carriage. With two legs of flesh, one could hardly know when the journey would end, as it was necessary not only to guard against monsters but also to be wary of bandits

I have no scrolls left!" Channing screamed, "Hang in there! I will go get help!"

In front, the swordsmen of the mercenary group coordinated their efforts, while Channing was completely immersed in the thrill of the one-sided massacre, paying no attention whatsoever to the battle behind him... He didn't even consider what his magical pet was doing.

Channing pondered for a moment and asked, "Do they have the advantage?"

Now, at https://m.hetushu.com, the wolves she faces are all as tall as her chest; she might not even be able to kick one in the belly when she raises her leg. There are a total of five of them; how can she fight them

The wolf is not a fool; it stands up and fiercely slams its two front paws down towards Mingxi. Mingxi narrowly dodges, feeling as if his heart is about to explode, but he cannot shout out a single plea for help.

She thought for a moment and said, "If we succeed and leave with this mercenary group, wouldn't it be much safer to cross the plains?"

For instance, she is already gasping with her tongue out in the darkness

Channing passed by the swordsmen, and several of them cast him complex glances, filled with both gratitude and confusion

This is simply a classic statement of a deserter

Unexpectedly, the battle was initiated by a considerable mercenary group. Since they were camped in a hollow, their firelight was not clearly visible to others. This mercenary group was besieged by a large number of prairie wolves. Although under the command of their leader, various professions advanced and retreated with caution, they were still in a precarious situation, as the wolves could generate wind blades with a mere snap of their jaws, leaving the swordsmen in the front line battered and bruised

Upon arriving at that hollow, Mingxi realized that they seemed to have been waiting for too long

It seems that it does not occupy...

"Hurry up! What are you standing there for?!" Mingxi crazily urged Channing, only to find Channing's legs trembling. "Damn it! Are you even a man?!"

Princess carry! ... In the broad embrace of the swordsman, although the leather armor was pressing against her, it was still incredibly comfortable. Unconsciously, she snuggled in and finally fell asleep ... ? ... Or perhaps it would be more appropriate to say she fainted from exhaustion

Before the wolf could continue its attack, it was solidly pierced by a sword to the forehead, resulting in an instant kill

Without a moment's thought, a donkey rolled to evade the two wolves that pounced. It blocked the wolf behind Channing with a spear, thrusting, stabbing, striking, pouncing, flicking, and dancing with the spear... Each move was executed with utmost effort, the silver spear glimmering fiercely, its brilliance visible even in the moonlight of the dark night

"Wolves, there are too many wolves..." Channing swallowed hard, forcing a bitter smile, "Once I take action, all the wolves' attacks are redirected towards us. Even if they wanted to help, they would be powerless to do so."

Gritting my teeth ... ... unable to choose. ... ... ... the gun is about to break ...

The wolf indeed hesitated for a moment
