After deceiving the villain, I was forced to love him.

Humans are inherently selfish creatures.

Always being self-centered and taking care of yourself makes you a friend or family member.

Only when there is a tiny bit of energy left will they consider the life or death of other creatures.

Although I don’t want to admit it.

But this human tendency to like things is really cheap and self-righteous.

......

Getting up and dusting himself off, Baili Ce began to cover the bloodstains with soil.

With a "bang," Qiu Jiang threw a knife at him, his face already pale, his lips turning white.

"Drag all those wolf carcasses behind the hillside, hiss..."

"Then, that one that's still alive, remember to use your dagger to pin its wound."

"..." After hearing Qiu Jiang's instructions, Bai Li Ce's blood ran colder.

But she dared not disobey.

While fearfully observing their surroundings, they dragged the wolf carcass to the back of the hillside together with Sister Kosang.

Gritting his teeth, he forcefully pinned the wounded wolf's hind legs to the ground, watching it howl in pain, tears streaming from its eyes...

Then--

Bai Li Ce picked up a stone and hammered the knife deeper and deeper, one stone at a time!

Human nature is indeed worse and more cruel than that of animals.

But in people's eyes, doing so is indeed justifiable.

wrong!

Bai Lize suddenly realized a problem.

There can't be only wolves on the grassland, nor can there only be that one pack of wolves.

But now most people are injured. How long will it take before we find a suitable resting place?

Are there any shelters or cover?

We have no idea whether being bitten by a wolf will cause any mental illness or other problems.

And even if the bloodstains on the ground can be covered up, what about the bloodstains on their bodies?

At this moment, Baili Ce was filled with remorse.

Having known Wang Qingyan for so long, how come she never learned from him how to handle bloodstains?

Moreover, animals have a sense of smell that is hundreds of times more sensitive than humans, and they can find them simply by the smell of blood.

Therefore, they could only rest and recuperate in place.

and--

Thinking of Qiu Jiang's words, Bai Li Ce returned to the hillside alone.

It's winter now, and finding a pack of prey is extremely rare; otherwise, the wolves wouldn't have lasted this long.

These wolves may indeed be able to intimidate other wild animals, and even feed them.

But what if we can't deter them, or there are too many wild animals and we can't feed them all?

She definitely didn't have the guts or strength to fight a bear or a wolf one-on-one, as did the others...

They may have a few left who can fight, but the smell of blood on them will only drive the beasts wilder.

Furthermore, the seriously injured, including Ya Ya, are definitely more tempting than the wolf carcasses.

What if those wild beasts aren't interested and just come over and tear them apart?

Or perhaps there are too many wild animals, including jackals that, like hyenas, enjoy gutting people! They will only suffer an even more gruesome death.

"..." Looking at the wolf struggling in its death throes yet still with a chilling gaze, Baili Ce made a decision.

She dragged the wolf's carcass to a more distant spot.

They used daggers to make their wounds even bigger and more festering, spreading wolf blood everywhere to make the smell of blood spread further, and then sprinkled poison they carried with them.

The reason it is not used when attacked by a pack of wolves is that it takes a certain amount of time for the poison to take effect.

Secondly, the situation was extremely dangerous and chaotic just now, and there was simply no time to slowly poison her.

By the time all this was done, it was already quite dark.

Bai Li Ce was also exhausted.

Seeing that she was tired and scared, Grandma Mu comforted her for a while and only went to take care of Grandpa Mu, who was injured, after making sure she was alright.

As night fell, Baili Ce, exhausted but too afraid to sleep, huddled together, listening to the sounds of people scrambling for food coming from behind the hillside and all around.

Apart from Grandpa and Grandma Mu, who were too old and fast asleep, everyone else was on edge.

Even Tu Yaya, who was the most seriously injured, kept her eyes open.

Duan Chi and the two young men even mustered their strength, gripped their knives tightly, stood up, and looked around warily.

As for wizards who are even less capable than her...

Forget it, Baili Ce doesn't want to talk about him.

"Thump, thump, thump..." About a quarter of an hour later, a series of thuds of varying severity were heard as people fell to the ground.

In an instant, even the night wind became much quieter.

Poisoning people on the grasslands is a serious taboo.

But this time, no one blamed Baili Ce.

Fortunately, poisoning only occurs from eating wolf carcasses.

Moreover, it is currently the dry season with limited water resources, so no animal should be able to survive until it reaches the vicinity of the river before dying.

Carcasses decompose slowly in winter, and by spring, the ice and snow have melted and the toxins have been completely broken down, so they will not cause too much of a problem for livestock or water sources.

"Whoosh..."

"call......"

So, everyone drifted off to sleep in twos and threes.

Laifu also drooped his ears and continued to sleep next to Fugui.

"..." Bai Li Ce breathed a silent sigh of relief.

The night is finally over.

The hands that had been tightly gripping their knees slowly loosened, the stiff knuckles and back gradually softening. They gently moved closer to the fire, lying down next to the camel...

It took her a while to feel her body warm up again.

This was probably the most dangerous thing she had ever experienced in her life.

......

She takes back what she said last night!

Because the next morning, ugh!

Just as dawn was breaking, the sound of galloping hooves approached.

Laifu immediately rushed out, barking "Woof woof woof!!!"

But it quickly retreated, half-tucked between its legs.

The crowd was awakened by its cries and quickly got up to defend themselves.

"Laifu, come back!"

Bai Li Ce called it back while helping Tu Ya Ya to hide at the back.

In situations like this, it's best to just cower behind someone else and act like a coward.

"Hahaha... There really is something big here!"

Amidst the neighing of horses, a group of bandits approached from afar and surrounded them.

They were all incredibly fierce and numerous.

Duan Chi and several lightly injured men stepped forward to block the girls.

Isn't this his turn to steal the spotlight?

The arrogant wizard stood before Duan Chi, utterly smug, and said, "..."

"Bang!" However, this group of bandits defied common sense; before he could even speak, they knocked him unconscious with a single blow.

"..." As their eyes met, the bandits looked at Baili Ce and the others with gleam in their eyes.

Bai Lize looked at the master on the ground and kept reflecting on what he had been doing the past two days.

With one arm in a sling, Qiu Jiang quickly pulled a bag of silver coins from the bundle next to the camel.

He fawned over the bandit leader, saying, "We're all brothers from the grasslands, please be kind enough to do me a favor."

"Hahaha..." The leader of the bandits accepted the silver and weighed it in his hand.

Then he tilted his head and glanced at the girls behind Duan Chi...

His smile vanished instantly. "If you want me to do you a favor, hand over your goods and women!"

Qiu Jiang's smile froze. Before he could make a move, Duan Chi slashed out with his blade. "Sizzle—"

Blood splattered everywhere, and a head fell to the ground with a thud.

"?!" The bandits were slightly thrown into disarray.

He then swung his sword and slashed down, yelling, "Kill them!"

The blade swept down with a force that cut through the wind, and Duan Chi slid to the side!

He circled around from under the horse's belly to the other side and slashed the bandit leader off his horse!

"Gulp..." In an instant, another head fell to the ground.

"You son of a bitch!!"

The remaining bandits instantly roared in fury, charging forward on horseback, shouting, "Brothers, charge! Avenge our boss!"

The two young men charged forward without hesitation!

Sister Kosan followed closely behind!

With a "whoosh," Qiu Jiang drew his curved sword, dangling one arm, and nimbly spun through the chaotic crowd and the hooves of horses.

Wherever they went, all the horses fell to the ground!

Seeing this, the others immediately joined in to finish off the fallen bandits...

......

"Run! Run fast..."

After another fierce battle, two or three bandits fled in a panic.

"Phew—" Duan Chi breathed a sigh of relief and slumped heavily to the ground, wiping the blood and sweat from his face.

He secretly rejoiced that killing someone was much easier than killing a wolf.

Completely unable to believe that they had won again, Baili Ce gripped a bloodstained knife in both hands, his mind reeling with fear.

Grandma Mu approached her with concern, "Good child, it's alright, relax."

"No, don't come any closer!" Baili Ce suddenly jumped back, holding her knife and retreating in terror, not daring to let anyone get any closer to her.

"Good boy, listen to me, my dear grandson, give the knife to Grandma, no one can hurt you."

"Nana, let go! It's alright, it's really alright, we..."

Despite the pain, Tu Yaya, who was standing next to her, approached her from the side and slowly reached out her hand, saying, "It's safe now, put the knife down."

Just now, while Laifu was kicked unconscious,

Just as the two bandits were dragging Baili Ce aside, preparing to do something to her, Tu Yaya rushed up with a knife to save her.

At the moment when Tu Yaya was being choked, she completely erupted, picked up a knife and wildly slashed the two bandits dozens of times, chopping them to pieces.

“You did nothing wrong.” Qiu Jiang, unusually not being sarcastic, dragged his feet and approached Baili Ce, taking her wrist first.

Then slowly apply pressure, making her loosen her hand, which was as stiff as a rock...

The moment the knife clattered to the ground, all the fear in his heart finally exploded from his lungs, and Baili Ce squatted down and burst into tears.
