Chapter 44 The wolves attack
As summer approached, Virgo hung high in the sky, its brilliant starlight scattering across the earth. In this ancient world, free from light pollution, the night sky was exceptionally clear, the twinkling stars creating a beautiful picture. One late summer evening, after bathing in the river, she also washed her clothes.
"Oh, you've already prepared the meal! That's great! Isn't it said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen? It must have been difficult for you two gentlemen."
Shi Wanxia retorted with a sarcastic tone, making the two of them look embarrassed. They rolled their eyes at her, thinking, "This girl's words don't mean that all these formalities have to be followed!"
"Why do you say that, Miss Shi? My brother and I are so grateful to you for saving us and for taking such good care of us. We are just doing what we can. It's nothing. Besides, didn't you say that men cook in your area? Why are you so surprised?"
Shi Wanxia did not refute Shen Yanchu's words. Why refute them? They were working so conscientiously, how could I disturb their enthusiasm?
"Oh, gentlemen, I was just joking. Let's eat first! I'm starving."
She tactfully changed the subject, picked up her bowl, and sipped her soup. Shen Yanchu smiled faintly, thinking how carefree this girl was. He shook his head and began to eat slowly and deliberately.
As the weather warms up, animals and herbs become easier to find. She has accumulated quite a bit of rabbit fur, fox fur, and other items in her backpack. Many times, Shen Yanchu wants to tell her that the rabbit fur isn't worth much money.
A few days ago, this girl and I encountered a ginseng that was about ten years old while picking wild vegetables. At the time, the girl didn't recognize it and thought it was some other wild vegetable, so she reached out to pull it up. He stopped her in time.
This girl is really strange; she doesn't even know what ginseng looks like. Yet, along her journey, she has collected quite a few ginseng and lingzhi mushrooms of good quality.
Perhaps it was her innate intuition for these precious herbs, or perhaps she was simply incredibly lucky. This girl somehow found two top-quality red Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms, around a hundred years old, which astonished both herself and Cui Yu'an.
I explained the variety and age of the two Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms to her, and when she heard they were worth some silver, the girl was overjoyed. She was still as greedy as ever; she still had a particular fondness for money.
They spent the night by the river. Earlier that day, Shen Yanchu had shot a pheasant with a bamboo dart he made himself. Shi Wanxia had admired his skill and flair for a long time. Shi Wanxia roasted the pheasant and shared it with the two of them, who had become even thinner.
“I didn’t mistreat you! Why are you getting thinner and thinner? I’ve collected a lot of medicinal herbs along the way. Even if we’re in an unfamiliar place, we don’t have to worry about not having money. You two are obviously not ordinary people. You’ll have plenty of expenses. Besides, Brother Shen’s face needs to be treated by a doctor. That’s a lot of money!”
Once you leave the mountains, you'll need money for everything from food and lodging to buying clothes and getting around. Without money, you can't go anywhere!
Shen Yanchu and Cui Yu'an quietly ate their chicken legs. They had never worried about money before, and Cui Yu'an was the eldest son of the Qinghe Cui Clan, the most prestigious family in the world.
After spending so much time in these mountains and forests, they had forgotten that they were penniless. There were many valuable and rare things in this vast primeval forest, but unfortunately, he and Cui Yu'an didn't usually pay much attention to them, so they could only pick up what they recognized.
As night fell, the stars twinkled, like brilliant jewels set against the black sky. Shi Wanxia lay on her straw mat, gazing up at the summer Milky Way, her heart filled with boundless reverie about the universe.
The Summer Triangle had already risen, its three bright stars forming a giant triangle that stood out prominently in the night sky. As summer drew to a close, I swatted away mosquitoes while admiring this beautiful sight, feeling the wonder and tranquility of nature.
She was immersed in this vast starry sky, as if she herself had merged into the embrace of the universe.
The stars twinkled faintly, as if telling him ancient stories. Shi Wanxia's thoughts drifted along with them, and she remembered her hobby—astronomy.
From a young age, she was filled with curiosity about the mysteries of the universe and loved exploring the unknown world. Whenever she looked up at the starry sky, she felt a deep sense of awe and insignificance.
In this vast universe, humanity is so small, yet it possesses an infinite desire and courage to explore.
Shi Wanxia closed her eyes, feeling the night breeze brush against her face, bringing a touch of coolness.
She listened to the chirping of insects coming from the grass, as if she were having a conversation with nature.
On this peaceful night, she forgot all her worries and fatigue, focusing only on the beautiful scenery before her and her inner feelings.
"The Milky Way is indeed magnificent and mysterious without light pollution. What a pity! Fate is cruel."
Shi Wanxia looked up at the starry sky and drifted off to sleep under the starlight.
Night fell over the silent forest, and in the pitch black, only a faint moonlight filtered through the leaves. Shen Yanchu was awakened from his sleep by a sinister wolf howl, and he instantly became alert.
With a light tap of his toes, Shen Yanchu leaped onto a tree like a ghost, landing steadily on a thick branch. His sharp gaze followed the movements within the forest.
In the darkness, pairs of gleaming green eyes approached from afar. The howls of wolves rose and fell, as if conveying some kind of signal. Shen Yanchu's heart raced; he knew that unknown dangers lurked within this forest.
He waited quietly, gripping his sword tightly, ready to respond to any situation that might arise. As the wolves drew closer, Shen Yanchu could sense the wild aura emanating from them.
These wolves were agile, their fur shimmering eerily in the moonlight. They lingered beneath the trees, seemingly searching for something.
Shen Yanchu held his breath, trying not to make a sound. He observed the wolves' movements, searching for their weaknesses.
Suddenly, a wolf spotted him in the tree. It howled, and the other wolves swarmed around him. Facing this pack of ferocious beasts, Shen Yanchu did not flinch. He took a deep breath, preparing for the impending battle…
Cui Yu'an and Shi Wanxia were also awakened by the wolf howls. Cui Yu'an quickly packed his things, and he took her and flew up into a tree, hiding behind the dense foliage.
He was not a cowardly person, but rather he had exhausted all his internal energy and was only able to use his lightness skill by struggling to gather it.
Shen Yanchu stood amidst the wolf pack, his figure slightly weary. At this moment, he stood with his sword in hand, channeling his remaining inner strength into it.
A dozen or so vicious wolves surrounded him, their eyes gleaming with greed. Shen Yanchu took a deep breath, his gaze hardening. He flashed forward, charging towards the pack like a ghost.
The sword, enhanced by his internal energy, emitted a sharp light. Shen Yanchu's swordsmanship was as fast as lightning, each strike accurately hitting the wolf's vital points. The wolf pack was intimidated by his aura and momentarily retreated.
However, wolves are ferocious beasts after all, and they quickly launched another attack. Shen Yanchu was fearless, his figure weaving through the wolf pack, his swordplay becoming increasingly fierce.
After a fierce battle, Shen Yanchu finally defeated the entire wolf pack. He stood there, panting, his hand still tightly gripping his sword.
Sweat soaked his clothes, his face gradually turned pale, large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his body trembled with pain.
He tried desperately to suppress the toxins raging within him, attempting to do so with his internal energy, but to no avail. The toxins ravaged his body, roaming through his internal organs, making him feel as if he were living a life worse than death.
He gripped the sword tightly in his hand, but due to the pain in his body, his fingers gradually lost strength, and the sword slipped from his grasp.
His body could no longer support his weight, and he slowly collapsed to the ground.
A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth, staining his clothes red. His eyes became unfocused, his consciousness gradually faded, and he fainted without warning.
