Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

After thinking for a few minutes, Lu Yunshi immediately picked up his sword and headed towards the source of the sound.

Soon, Lu Yunshi saw the girl who was shouting for help. She looked to be about eight or nine years old. Although she was slumped on the ground with her face covered in fear and tears, her sweet and lovely appearance was still immediately recognizable.

Despite her young age, she is already a natural beauty.

Of course, what was most eye-catching about this girl was probably the two enormous things hanging on her body. Even Lu Yunshi couldn't help but stare at them in silence to show his respect.

However, these minor details were not what Lu Yunshi paid the most attention to. He only looked at them for about twenty seconds before regretfully looking away. Then he noticed that the girl was wearing the uniform of Wujie Academy, and it was the uniform of an average student.

This girl was actually an average student at the academy, but her cultivation level was only at the late stage of Body Tempering, which meant she had only been at the academy for a short time.

Wait, late stage of body tempering?

Lu Yunshi suddenly noticed something remarkable: how could someone with the cultivation level of late-stage Body Tempering be fighting like this in this place?

Lu Yunshi shifted his gaze to the culprit who had bullied the girl to this state: a striped tiger. It looked very fierce and had a very good aura. There was faint blood and qi gathering on its body, and it seemed to be close to entering the Body Tempering Realm.

However, even in this state, it cannot be considered a demon beast, so how did it manage to knock a girl in the late stage of Body Tempering to the ground?

"this......"

Lu Yunshi frowned, sensing that something was amiss. Had he transmigrated again? Or was he still half asleep?

However, since four out of his current five combat points are locked, it's possible he misjudged the situation.

Thinking of this possibility, Lu Yunshi took another look, and the result was still the same. He was defeated by the old axe master who was not even a demon in the late stage of body tempering.

However, Lu Yunshi soon noticed another thing: although the girl was slumped on the ground, her clothes were intact. If she had failed after the fight, she wouldn't be like this.

Although the ferocious tiger was menacing, it only dared to move forward little by little in response to the girl's cries, as if testing its opponent.

Hmm... could it be... not that they were defeated, but rather...

Lu Yunshi's lips twitched. Could he have been scared like this?

So, the tiger was just testing whether the enemy that brought it such great danger was really weak. Before the little girl fell, it was hard to say who was more nervous.

No way, no way, a little girl in the late stage of Body Tempering was scared like this?

Lu Yunshi couldn't believe it, but this answer seemed to explain the current situation better than the little girl being defeated by the big axe.

Lu Yunshi fell silent. What should he say?

The world had become so wild that he no longer recognized it.

But since I'm already here, I have no choice but to help this adorable little girl.

Don't misunderstand, it's about lending a helping hand.

Lu Yunshi darted out of the bushes and landed between the man and the tiger with the grace of a hero, then slowly raised his head.

"Don't cry, little girl, your big brother is here, hehehe!"

When Lu Yun was about to stand up in a cool manner when he said "Big brother is here", he suddenly realized something was wrong. He had jumped too fast and his knees went numb. He couldn't even kneel on one knee, so he ended up kneeling on both knees. In the end, he could only use a smile to defuse the embarrassment.

When she saw someone appear in front of her, the little girl was still sobbing a bit, but at least she stopped howling. Although the way the older brother appeared was a bit strange, he was kneeling. But this older brother must have come to save her, right?

"Big...big brother, it's so scary." The little girl pointed at the big axe across from her, who was now stunned, and began to complain.

"Cough! Don't be afraid, it's just a mortal beast that's about to enter the Body Tempering stage. Although it's a bit troublesome, big brother can still handle it." Lu Yunshi slowly got up and gave the little girl a thumbs up.

I don't know why, but I can't help but try to look cool in front of such a little girl.

Lu Yunshi is usually a proper older brother and would never do such a thing.

"One?" The little girl paused, her eyes looking a bit strange.

Lu Yunshi blinked, realizing that something seemed amiss. Sure enough, the next second, a commotion arose in the jungle, and another striped tiger appeared out of nowhere.

Seeing this, he shook his head, his tone disdainful. "Heh, so there are two. But even if there are two, there's no need to be afraid. Big brother can handle them. Little sister, just watch."

To everyone's surprise, the little girl shook her head after hearing this, her voice trembling.

"No...not two."

"There are more?" Lu Yunshi was somewhat surprised, but still accepting. "Three? With the skills I've acquired these past few days, if I can fully utilize my abilities, although it will be very difficult, even three might not be impossible..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Yunshi saw four tigers appear before him, all growling at him in unison. Their hostility was clearly palpable even from dozens of meters away.

Although the four demonic beasts that are about to reach the Body Tempering Realm are still not very intelligent and cannot speak human language, they can still sense the atmosphere.

Clearly, this suddenly appearing weakling is the enemy, and it seems they want to escape with another, albeit weak, but very valuable, prey.

That won't do. If they could eat the little guy over there, they could all enter the Body Tempering Realm at the same time. That's why they were willing to risk testing the waters even though they sensed great danger from the other party after it fell to the ground.

“This…” Lu Yunshi took a deep breath, waved the blue lantern in his hand, and slowly backed away.

"Big brother, what's wrong?" Seeing that her older brother had stopped talking, the little girl couldn't help but worry. Was her strange older brother trying to run away?

"Don't worry, big brother is a hero." Following his current persona, Lu Yun said something boastful, and the next second he swung his longsword. A sharp sword wind howled, and the four striped tigers were startled. Surprised, they were surprised by the speed of the sword wind, which was so fast that they couldn't dodge it.

But soon, the four tigers that were struck by the sword wind discovered that they had no wounds on their bodies, and did not even feel any pain. It was as if they had just been blown by the wind.

Meanwhile, their precious prey had already been carried away by that weakling on his shoulder.

"Ah~~~ Big brother, you run so fast!" The little girl, who was being carried on his shoulder, praised Lu Yunshi for his decisiveness and speed in escaping after she had escaped the encirclement of the big axe.

"Hahaha! Little sister, let me teach you a lesson. When you encounter an enemy you can't defeat, you should try to get away as quickly as possible. If you risk your own and others' lives because of a moment of bravery, that's not the act of a hero. A true hero is one who protects himself and others."
