As the night deepened, everyone in the cave fell into a deep sleep out of exhaustion.
Chu Lingfeng sat at the entrance of the cave, watching the movements outside the cave vigilantly.
Time passed minute by minute, and Chu Lingfeng remained highly alert.
Just then, Chiffon came over.
"Master Chu, it's my turn to guard. You can go and rest now!"
"Okay! Then you just be careful!" Chu Lingfeng said in a low voice.
Chifeng rubbed his eyes and forced himself to cheer up, "Master Chu, just leave it to me!"
Chu Lingfeng nodded, walked into the cave, found a place to lie down, and soon fell asleep.
Chifeng sat at the entrance of the cave. He was energetic at first, but as time went by, he gradually felt sleepy. He tried to open his eyes wide and shook his head constantly, trying to keep himself awake.
Just then, a breeze blew by, bringing with it a strange smell.
Chifeng's heart tightened and he became much more awake in an instant. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the movements around him.
A slight rustling sound came from the distant woods, as if something was approaching. Chifeng clenched his sword tightly, and his heartbeat began to accelerate.
The rustling sound was getting closer and closer, and cold sweat broke out on Chifeng's forehead.
Suddenly, pairs of green eyes emerged in the darkness. It was a pack of wolves!
Chifeng gasped. He knew that this would be a fierce battle. He took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "There are wolves! Everyone wake up!"
His voice echoed in the cave, startling everyone. Murong Ling'er and Chu Lingfeng jumped up instantly and rushed to the cave entrance.
"Don't panic, everyone!" Murong Ling'er shouted.
The wolves slowly surrounded them, baring their teeth and making low growls.
Chifeng gripped the sword tightly, his palms full of sweat.
Chu Lingfeng turned to the crowd and said, "Everyone, find some stones and sticks to defend yourself!"
Murong Ling'er looked at the wolves with a sharp gaze and handed her son Murong Chen to Huo Jianjie. "Dad, take Chen'er and the others and hide in the cave. Be careful and don't run around."
"Ling'er, you have to be careful too!" Huo Jianjie hugged Murong Chen and reminded him worriedly.
"Yeah!" Murong Ling'er nodded and continued, "Chen'er, be good and follow grandpa. Mother will be back soon."
Murong Chen knew that he couldn't add burden to his mother at this moment, so he could only nod silently.
After Murong Ling'er finished her instructions, she rushed towards the wolf pack nimbly, sword in hand. Her sword moves were so sharp that several wolves were stabbed in an instant and retreated screaming.
Chu Lingfeng was not afraid either. He was agile and rushed into the wolf pack like a cheetah, waving the long sword in his hand. The sword wind was so sharp that several wolves were injured and fell to the ground in an instant.
At this time, the convicts in the team screamed in fear, especially the children, who were frightened and panicked, crying and shouting.
Seeing this, Chifeng's courage increased greatly. He roared and fought side by side with Chu Lingfeng. He raised his sword and swung it down, fighting a desperate battle with the wolf that pounced on him.
Led by Murong Ling'er, Chu Lingfeng and Qifeng, everyone picked up the stones and sticks in their hands and smashed them at the wolves.
For a moment, the sounds of wolf howling, shouting, screaming, and crying were intertwined in front of the cave.
However, the wolves were numerous and kept coming forward.
A wolf took advantage of the chaos to break through the defense line and pounced on a weak child. The child was frightened by the sudden danger and his face turned pale. "Mom, save me!" he cried heartbreakingly.
At this critical moment, Murong Ling'er was quick-eyed and quick-handed. She threw the sword in her hand and nailed the wolf to the ground.
The child's mother rushed over and hugged the child. Her voice trembled as she kept expressing her gratitude to Murong Ling'er: "Thank you, Miss Murong, for saving my life. Thank you so much!"
Murong Linger hurriedly said, "Hurry up and take the child to the depths of the cave. Don't let him run out!"
The mother nodded repeatedly, hugged her child tightly and ran hurriedly to the cave.
However, the wolves were numerous and kept coming forward.
The battle became more and more intense. Chu Lingfeng was wounded in many places, but his eyes remained firm.
Chiffon's strength gradually declined and his movements began to slow down.
Murong Ling'er knew that this was not a solution, so she concentrated her energy and her sword skills became more and more fierce. Her sword was like a swimming dragon, and wherever it went, the wolves were injured.
The wolves were thrown into disarray by the fierce attack and began to show signs of retreat.
At this extremely critical moment, a ferocious wolf suddenly jumped out from the side, its sharp fangs shining coldly in the moonlight. It keenly spotted the gap in the crowd and rushed towards Chu Yinyin's position like lightning.
Chu Yinyin's pupils dilated instantly. Extreme fear made her mind go blank and she screamed instinctively. In this panicked moment, she pushed her sister Chuchu beside her forward, trying to make Chuchu her shield to block the impending fatal threat.
This scene made everyone present's heart seem to stop for a moment, and everyone's terrified eyes were focused on the sisters.
It happened so quickly that Chu Lingfeng's heart suddenly tightened. It was a tension and worry that almost tore his chest apart. His eyes were instantly bloodshot, and veins bulged on his forehead. It seemed as if the whole world at this moment only had the vicious wolf pouncing on Chu Chu.
Chu Lingfeng didn't have time to think, his body had already reacted before his consciousness.
He pulled out a special hidden weapon from his waist with lightning speed. With a flick of his wrist, the hidden weapon was like a black lightning, carrying a determined murderous intent, and whizzed away through the air.
With a "whoosh", the hidden weapon accurately hit the wolf's vitals. The wolf's body suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then fell heavily to the ground. It twitched a few times and stopped moving, dying on the spot.
Chu Chu was so frightened by this sudden situation that her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground, her face as pale as paper, and crystal tears kept rolling in her eyes, as if they were about to burst out in the next second.
Wang witnessed her youngest daughter's extremely selfish behavior, and disappointment surged into her heart like a tide, instantly drowning her reason.
She rushed over like crazy, lifted Chuchu up, and hugged her tightly in her arms, with such strength that it seemed as if she wanted to embed Chuchu into her body and protect her forever from harm.
Wang turned her head and glared at Chu Yinyin, her eyes burning with anger and disappointment. She shouted, "Yinyin, how can you be so selfish! She's your blood sister, your lifelong companion!"
Chu Yinyin finally woke up from her dream, realizing she had made an unforgivable mistake. She lowered her head in fear and shame, her body trembling as she sobbed softly, "Mom, I... I was wrong. I was so scared at the time, my mind was in a mess."
Wang's voice trembled, and every word was filled with deep pain. "Afraid? Fear is not a reason for you to hurt your loved ones! In the face of danger, we should stick together instead of abandoning each other!"
Chu Lingfeng also walked over quickly with a serious expression, his eyes sweeping across Chu Yinyin like a sharp sword.
At this moment, his body was still covered in blood and scars from the fight with the wolves, but his eyes were full of disappointment towards Chu Yinyin. He said solemnly: "Today's matter ends here. If there is a next time, our Chu family will pretend that there is no such heartless and righteous person as you."
Chu Yinyin held back her tears and nodded desperately in agreement.
At this time, the battle with the wolves was still going on, with the howling of wolves and the shouting of people intertwined.
Everyone didn't have time to express their feelings too much and quickly plunged back into the fierce fight.
"Let's fight back together now!" Chifeng shouted quickly when he saw this.
Encouraged, everyone mustered up their courage and attacked the wolves even more fiercely.
The wolves finally couldn't bear it anymore and, led by the leader, ran away with their tails between their legs.
