"Everyone, it looks like we're going to have a tough battle today!" The eldest brother frowned deeply as he looked at the wolf pack that had not yet dispersed. In one of his hands, he still held the reins tightly to prevent the horse from panicking and running away. "Damn it!" The second brother cursed, without any of his previous arrogance and disdain. “Senior Brother, with so many wolves, I’m afraid they will drag us down!” Senior Sister Mu stared at the wolf pack with her brows furrowed and her teeth gritted. The eldest brother helplessly replied: "Let's see if these beasts dare to rush over. I just hope they leave now. Otherwise, it will be terrible if they scatter the horses." "Will these gray wolves come again?" Yi Han asked weakly. Awoo——! As soon as he finished speaking, a long howl was heard from the top of the mountain, and all the gray wolves immediately charged towards them. "Damn it, you're such a jinx!" The second brother shouted at him angrily. The wolves rushed over, and Yi Han and his group were once again involved in a bloody battle.
However, this time the entire wolves attacked, bringing an extremely strong sense of oppression, and the horses were even more frightened. Senior Sister Mu’s horse galloped forward. Second Brother's horse also ran away in panic. "Come back!" he shouted anxiously. But it was of no use. As soon as he broke out of the encirclement, he was surrounded by wolves again. There was no time to care about the horse's escape. The remaining horses were also neighing and spinning in place, ready to escape at any time. Senior Sister Mu and Second Senior Brother's horses had not run far before they were pounced on and torn apart by several wolves. "Protect the horses!" the eldest brother shouted, and quickly rushed over to repel the wolves. But soon more gray wolves came up. On the contrary, his departure left a large gap in the original square formation, and the wolves rushed over violently. In an instant, the remaining horses were frightened and fled in all directions. When everyone saw this, they became furious. Their food and water are there. They no longer held back and didn't care about their formation, they instantly became bloodthirsty. For a moment, the flashes of swords and the shadows of sabers were everywhere. The howling of gray wolves could be heard in the valley, along with the low growls of people and a few screams from Xiao Linzi and the other two. After a quarter of an hour, the wolves were unable to capture the city and suffered heavy casualties. After hearing the wolf king's long howl, the remaining wolves stopped attacking and immediately turned around and retreated.
Not only Yi Han, but everyone else also breathed a sigh of relief. Like him, everyone held a sword and stuck it on the ground, some standing, some half-kneeling, breathing heavily. This battle consumed too much of their physical strength. Although they repelled the wolves, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a miserable victory. Xiao Linzi found a place with less blood and lay down. Both he and Xiao Liuzi were injured, and at this moment they felt like they had survived a disaster. Although Yi Han was not injured, his hairpin had fallen off at some point, and his hair was disheveled, stained with the blood of wild wolves, making him look quite disheveled. But there are also places where luck is good. His and his junior sister's horses were only slightly injured, but the horses of the others fell in a pool of blood. Some horses had their stomachs bitten open and their intestines spilled out, which was really scary. The smell of blood in the air and the dense wolf corpses on the ground are even more daunting. Yi Han looked at everyone secretly. After a moment, Yi Han saw the eldest brother pursed his lips, walked to his horse, took off the saddle and put it aside. The eldest brother's horse fell to the ground, tears streaming from his eyes and breathing heavily through his nose. His body was covered with wounds, and the wolf had choked him, leaving a lot of blood. He could no longer stand up. The eldest brother moved his lips, turned his head to the side, closed his eyes and remained silent. A moment later, he swung his sword to end the horse's suffering. The eldest brother knelt there for a long while before he took the things he needed from the saddle and tied them into a bundle. When others saw this, they felt the same as him. "Everyone, take what you need. These wolves haven't gone far and may come back. We have to find a safe place to rest as soon as possible. We still have a long way to go!" The eldest brother stood up, slung the bag over his shoulder, looked up at the blue sky, his face showing an extremely depressed look. When the others heard what he said, they all agreed and got busy. Senior Sister Mu dug out some necessities from her dilapidated carriage, packed them into a bundle and carried them on her back. However, she seemed uneasy about letting Xiao Linzi do it, nor was she at ease with hanging on Yi Han's horse. She even seemed reluctant to get on the junior sister's carriage. On the contrary, Xiao Linzi had nothing but a cold knife, so he felt quite relaxed. After Xiao Liuzi simply treated the wound, he took the step stool from the carriage and placed it on the ground. "Unload the cart and throw it away to reduce the burden on the horse. It is already injured." The junior sister saw his actions, whispered an order to him, and then packed the luggage in the carriage. Afterwards, Xiao Liuzi unloaded the carriage, took the bag from his junior sister and hung it on the horse's back, then led the horse forward. When the second senior brother passed by a few gray wolves lying on the ground that were not yet dead, he cursed them "bastards" viciously and swung his sword to cut off their heads one by one.
At this time, Yi Han also quickly withdrew his gaze, and like his junior sister, he led the horse and walked to reduce the burden on the horse. The sun is shining brightly at this moment. If we just leave it exposed to the sun like this, it will definitely consume a lot of water resources. Soon the seven of them found a rather secluded place to eat and rest. They were gathered together and scattered everywhere at the same time, and none of them looked very happy. Yi Han found a place and cut some grass with his sword to feed the horse. Then he leaned against the stone wall and ate while secretly observing everyone. The second senior brother did not change his bad habits and stayed beside Senior Sister Mu, comforting and caring for her. There was nothing worth mentioning about the rest of the people, so they all took a rest. "My fellow brothers and sisters, let's set off. This Valley of Desolation is full of dangers and we still have a long way to go!" After resting for more than half an hour, the eldest brother stood up and spoke to everyone. Yi Han took a quick look and saw that everyone had recovered a lot of their spirits. I guess I would still be able to fight if I were attacked by wolves again. The team set out on their journey again and walked for more than half an hour without encountering any attacks from wild beasts. The team's atmosphere became much more lively than after the previous wolf attack. Senior Sister Mu, the eldest senior brother and the second senior brother, the three of them walked side by side at the front. Yi Han led the horse and walked in the middle with his junior sister. Yi Han's status finally improved a little, and he was no longer responsible for covering the retreat. Xiao Linzi and Xiao Liuzi walked at the back, which made them very miserable. Even though the warm sunshine was shining, they still felt a chill on their backs. The two of them kept looking back. It was as if there were a few wolves following behind them, ready to rush up and bite them at the next moment. "Senior Brother, we have walked such a long way. How far do we have to go to get out of this Valley of Desolation?" Senior Sister Mu asked the senior brother on the left. Before the eldest brother could speak, the second brother spoke first: "Junior sister, at this speed, we can pass through this valley in an hour and a half." The second brother coughed twice again: "Of course, this is when we don't encounter wild beasts." When Yi Han heard this, he quickly interrupted and asked with a slightly trembling voice: "Second Brother, you won't be attacked by wild beasts again, right?" “How is it possible that we will meet them again? We can’t possibly encounter all the wild beasts in this valley in one day…” Second Brother answered disdainfully, but before he could finish his words, he was suddenly startled.
