Chapter 498
~ BEAUTY SAVES THE HERO ~
The wolf pack had been hungry for many days, and their eyes were filled with killing intent and viciousness now. They had already pushed the first man out to the ground and started to bite him.
The sword in Yue Wang’s hand was stained in blood. Every time the sword was slashed, blood would splash out. The wolves were frightened by his ruthless killing intent and kept retreating. Gradually, they formed a circle, trapping Yu Heng and him in the middle.
The wolves held a grudge because Yue Wang had killed so many of their own kind. This grudge was as deep as the sea itself, and there was a stance that they would not stop until they were killed. Even other disaster victims are ignored.
When the victims that had rushed out saw that they had attracted the wolves, they immediately ran towards the western side of the cave. They had no intention of going forward to help the two of them.
Yu Heng noticed their movements and ruthlessly ground his teeth, “Fourth Master, your subordinate will stall the wolf pack. You can go first!” Those people were saved by Fourth Master. But in the face of danger, they didn’t care about the people who saved them before. They simply didn’t have hearts and lungs!
Yue Wang’s brows furrowed as the wound on his arm started to crack again, and blood flowed down non-stop. Just as he hesitated a little, a wolf bit his arm fiercely, roaring, shaking his head, and tearing him hard!
“Master!” Yu Heng quickly stepped forward and chopped the wolf to death. He used one hand to support Yue Wang as he asked, “Master, how are you?”
Earlier, Yishui City had been submerged. The flood came in overwhelming, and the waves covered the sky and blotted the sun. Many people didn’t even have time to react before they were sucked into the water and untraceable disappeared.
Yue Wang had already escaped and was preparing to head up the mountain, but he didn’t expect to hear someone cry for help from the water. He continuously went into the water to save them. Some of them were afraid that he would let go of their hands when they went ashore and directly tore him apart before stepping on his shoulder and climbing onto the shore.
Yue Wang accidentally choked on the water, and just as he was about to go ashore, a piece of wood fell down and crashed into his chest heavily, causing him to rush out of the flood for a long time before barely getting ashore. The injuries on his arms and chest were left at that time.
Yue Wang’s chest heaved violently. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and a trace of confusion flashed in his clear eyes. He did not hate those cold-blooded victims. In the face of life and death, people think about themselves. Who wants to die if they can live? What he was worried about was Yunyao. If he could not return, how sad would Yao’er be …
Mu Yunyao led her people through the mountain forest. Just as they passed through a mountain ridge, they saw a group of victims running towards them with difficulty. “There is ... someone in front ... do you have anything to eat?? Just give us a bite to eat.” Seeing that Mu Yunyao and the rest were wearing extraordinary clothes and carrying bags, the victims’ eyes immediately lit up as they came forward one after another, “We haven’t eaten in many days. I beg everyone. Please give us some food to eat!”
“Alright.”
Mu Yunyao stepped forward and asked, “Are you the victims of the disaster in Yishui City?”
“Yes, we are from Yishui City. Female Bodhisattva, Please give us some rations. We have been trapped in the cave for many days....”
Mu Yunyao was about to instruct Si Qin to distribute food to them when she saw a woman carrying a child rushing forward, “East … There are still people trapped by the wolves....”
“How many people are there? What is the size of the wolf pack?”
“There are two of them. Our savior and his guards....”
Guard …
For some reason, when Mu Yunyao heard the word guard, her mind suddenly flashed the appearance of Yue Wang. Her heart was violently beating, a sound like a drum. Could it be ... Could it be Fourth Master?
“Liu Liang, Si Qin, bring some men to save them!”
“Yes Mistress!”
Mu Yunyao ran towards the east without even thinking about it. When the victims saw that she didn’t intend to distribute food, they actually went up to seize it. Some even saw that Mu Yunyao was weak and directly attacked her.
Si Qin took the arrow out of her sheath and directly cut off a person’s finger: “Scram!”
The chill word immediately frightened those people.
Mu Yunyao had an ugly expression on her face. She didn’t pay attention to these people as she quickly headed to the east.
Yue Wang forcibly urged his internal strength, but the movements of his hands became more and more sluggish, and in the end, he was half-kneeling on the ground, unable to support himself. If not for the support of the longsword, he would have fallen to the ground directly.
Yu Heng’s arms and legs were full of wounds. He was already exhausted this time and unable to support him. They had not eaten for several days, and even the slightest movement was enough to make them dizzy, let alone killing so many wolves.
The wolves’ instincts were the most acute. Seeing that the two of them could no longer hold on, they growled and paced back and forth. Finally, they could no longer hold back their ferocity and rushed towards them!
“Master!” Yu Heng cried out in surprise. He struggled to get up but fell to the ground with all his strength.
A long sword flew forward like a rainbow with a whistling sound, directly pinning down the head wolf who pounced on Yue Wang to the ground.
Then Liu Liang, Si Qin, and others rushed down swiftly, tearing the wolves directly apart.
There were more and more wolf corpses on the ground. Finally, the wolves couldn’t hold it any longer. After a howl, they dragged a few remains away quickly.
Yue Wang turned his head, his vision a little blurry. After calming himself down, Mu Yunyao’s figure suddenly appeared in his eyes.
She seemed to be running over in a hurry, wearing simple clothes for convenience. Her hair was tied up without the slightest beads or jewelry, and her body was covered with dirt marks. Her running steps were unsteady, and it seemed she would fall to the ground at the next moment.
He opened his mouth, wanting to remind her to slow down a bit. If she fell to the ground, she would be squeamish and turn purple again, or perhaps it would be more serious, and it would break her skin and cause her to bleed. In that way, he would be distressed at a glance. He just wanted to replace it with himself.
Mu Yunyao had never known that she could run so fast. She practically fell down next to Yue Wang, staring at him with red eyes filled with resentment. Her voice was hoarse as she said, “Didn’t you promise me that you would come back to the Capital to see me safely? If I had arrived a little later, you would have died here! Do you understand? You are dead! Besides, no one will know if you have perished! The wolves will eat your corpse and leave no trace behind.
Yue Wang slowly raised his hand and placed it on the side of her face. His thumb gently caressed her red eyes, and with a smile in his voice, he said, “Yunyao, don’t cry.”
Mu Yunyao felt her throat tighten as tears rolled down her face. The temperature was boiling hot. “You... You liar!”
The corner of Yue Wang’s lips lifted as if he wanted to smile. However, in the next moment, his body softened, and he fainted in Mu Yunyao’s arms.
“Master… Fourth Master? ” Mu Yunyao embraced him as Si Qin and the others hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Mu Yunyao hurriedly dried her tears and helped him check his pulse. Her expression immediately became embarrassed. She took a pill from the medicine box, fed it to Yue Wang, and ordered, “Si Qin, find a flat place to set up a tent. Prepare hot water, and boil some rice porridge.”
“Yes, Miss.” With the help of the other doctors who followed, they diagnosed Yu Heng and treated him. Yu Heng’s internal injuries were not serious at all. He was just hungry, dehydrated, and exhausted his strength, so he needed to be extra careful with his external injuries. Fortunately, Mu Yunyao prepared a very complete set of things. After taking the pills, he cleaned up the wound again, and the rest was to recuperate slowly.
