Fantasy: The Second Miss Said She Was Ordinary

This time, Wei Ji was highly expected by the old regiment commander Shi Feng, and he led half of the regiment out on a mission for the first time.

But unexpectedly, we encountered a severe snowstorm that occurs once in a century.

The difficulty of the task has become several times greater than imagined.

The road was difficult to travel on, and the escort mission, which was originally expected to be completed in one month, took a full month and a half and still had not reached the destination.

The wildebeest beneath him was snorting, looking a little irritated. Its hooves were wrapped in coarse, non-slip cloth, but it could still fall on the ice if it wasn't careful.

Wei Ji had no choice but to jump down, lead the wildebeest, and carefully explore the way ahead.

He was worried.

If the task is not completed and the remaining compensation is not received, there will be no money to send home.

I don’t know how my elder brother and mother are doing.

Especially my mother. If she runs out of money and my eldest brother can't afford medicine, will she...

Wei Ji didn't dare to think about it.

He just prayed that the weather would get better and the thick ice on the road would melt a little so that he could send the young lady of the Helan family home as soon as possible.

"Cough, cough, cough..." The girl's coughing sound was heard again in the carriage.

Wei Ji's heart tightened.

"Miss Helan, how are you?"

Another violent coughing fit.

Helan Yinling said weakly, "Brother Yanhui, I... I'm afraid I can't hold on and see my father and mother..."

Yan Hui is Wei Ji's pseudonym.

Mercenaries traveling outside can easily get into trouble with people they don't want to offend, so in order not to implicate their families, they all use pseudonyms.

Wei Ji's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, "Miss Helan, please hold on a little longer. We've already covered more than half of the journey. As long as we hold on a little longer, we'll definitely be able to get home!"

Helan Yinling smiled bitterly.

Persistence, and persistence again.

Day after day, her persistence became meaningless in the midst of the flying snow and the uncertain future.

Perhaps, her father and mother didn't miss her that much.

If you missed her, why did you leave her in her hometown for five years?

It was only until you heard that she was seriously ill that you thought of taking her back?

"Cough cough cough..."

The carriage was shaking and cold wind was blowing in through the window. She tightened her collar, opened the handkerchief covering her mouth and saw that she was coughing up blood again.

Wei Ji was not a good talker. The person in the car only coughed and there was no response. He didn't know what else to say.

The air was so thick that it was hard to breathe.

His spirit was like a taut string that had not been relaxed for a long time.

Just then, a small mercenary came running over in a hurry.

"Oh no, boss, there's a group of direwolves ahead!" He said in a panic.

Wei Ji's face turned pale instantly.

Direwolf, a pack animal.

Each one has four levels!

At the fourth level, only Zhan Zong has the strength to fight.

"How many are there?" he asked, forcing himself to calm down.

The young mercenary replied, "I can't count them, maybe thirty."

Wei Ji's face became even uglier.

There are only twenty people in their team.

And not everyone is a war master.

"Take a detour! Is it too late to take a detour now?"

"It's too late. There are more than a dozen of them behind us. We have fallen into their encirclement!" The little mercenary's voice was trembling.

Dire wolves have extremely high IQs, live in groups, and hunt collectively.

It is freezing cold and they are very short of food.

Unlike humans who can rely on martial arts and fasting, if animals do not eat for a long time, they will become skinny and their strength will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, after finally hunting down a group of humans, this group of ice wolves will definitely not give up the attack.

In the distance, the direwolf is approaching.

Their saliva dripped onto the ground and quickly froze into ice.

Wei Ji had a cold face and drew a scimitar from his waist. His resolute face was full of determination.

"Brothers, get ready and fight to the death!"

Helan Yinling lifted the carriage curtain, and her face was so white and transparent that it seemed as if it could be blown apart by the wind.

When she saw the wolves outside with green eyes, her heart trembled and she closed her eyes.

"Brother Yan Hui, leave me behind and you can escape."

Wei Ji turned his head sharply: "How can that be! Our duty is to escort you home safely!"

Helan Yinling's nose turned red. She didn't want to die either, but life and death were determined by heaven, so there was no need to force it.

If more people died because of her, how could her sins be eliminated?

She sobbed softly, almost pleading, "I am already a sick and weak body, and you are still strong. Please don't risk your life for me, a dying person. If you do that, even if I go to hell, my heart will never be at peace."

Wei Ji looked around at the approaching wolves and said coldly, "Miss Helan, please don't say anything more. I protect you not because of your health or not. Protecting you is to protect the honor of mercenaries. It is our mission in this line of work."

A direwolf pounced.

Wei Ji swung his scimitar fiercely.

Warm blood spurted out and splashed all over Helan Yinling's face.

Helan Yinling shuddered.

The strong smell of blood rushed into my nose.

Her gray glass-like eyes reflected the image of the dire wolf falling dejectedly.

Its snow-white fur was stained red with blood. It fell beside the carriage, its body twitching a few times like a fish, and then it became motionless.

The fight began.

Only half of the Hurricane Mercenaries came this time, but they were well-trained and had good coordination.

Following Wei Ji's orders, they formed three circles of sun formations around the carriage.

The direwolves roared and pounced, and the mercenaries drew their weapons and fought hard.

The wolf claws, wolf fangs and weapons collided, producing a dazzling flash of fire.

"Brothers, hold on. As long as I find their wolf king and kill him, the wolves will be leaderless and will surely flee." Wei Ji analyzed calmly.

His eyes kept scanning the wolf pack, trying to find the hidden wolf king.

But the direwolves have extremely high IQs, and the wolf king is even more so.

At once, dozens of wolves approached, and Wei Ji had no way of finding which one was the wolf king.

The brothers were already injured, and the wolf pack was becoming more and more arrogant. In this freezing weather, beads of sweat were oozing out of the mercenaries' foreheads.

"Is it God's will that destroy me?" Wei Ji couldn't help but feel sad.

Brother, mother, father...

There is also a crazy sister, a disabled nephew, and a missing niece...

Wei Ji couldn't understand why God was unwilling to treat the Wei family well. The Wei family was upright and had done nothing wrong to anyone.

If he died too, what would happen to his loved ones and his closest relatives?

Wei Ji was unwilling to give up. He roared and cut off the head of a dire wolf with another blow.

The next moment, his arm was pounced on and bitten by another wolf, and a large piece of flesh was torn off.

Before he could react, the dire wolf had already swallowed the piece of flesh and blood, staring at Wei Ji with a pair of green eyes, and pounced on him again!

At this moment, Wei Ji was sure that it was the Wolf King.

He and it both had the same idea - to capture the leader first.

The wolf king shook the hair on his back, bared his teeth again, and pounced towards the leader of the human team!

At this moment, Wei Ji realized that it was not the fourth level, but the fifth level!

As a war master, he is no match for the Wolf King!

One of his thighs was bitten fiercely by the wolf king. The huge bite force made his face look horrible with pain. His body fell to the ground and was dragged more than ten meters by the wolf king.

Then, the wolf king pounced, and this time, its sharp teeth were aimed at his neck.

Wei Ji clenched his fists.

He concentrated all the spiritual power in his body into his dantian.

As long as his Dantian explodes and the Wolf King dies with him, then would his companions have a chance to escort Miss Helan away?

He closed his eyes and resolutely activated the self-destruction...

At this moment, a "whoosh" sound was heard breaking through the air.
