Chapter 29 Accidentally Entering a Dangerous Situation
Four days later, Lin Ni and her two animals encountered another pack of forest wolves. This pack of wolves was very strong, numbering as many as forty or fifty. When Ye spotted them, Bai Ji had already run headlong into their ambush.
Night roared angrily at it, "You stupid tiger, why are you running so fast when you're supposed to be leading the way!"
He then transformed into a powerful beast, protecting Linni as she fought the charging wolves. His nearly twenty-meter-long snake body lashed out like a whip, attacking with both head and tail simultaneously, causing the wolves to howl in pain. However, there were simply too many wolves, and as long as they weren't dead, they weren't afraid of falling; they would get up and charge forward. Bai Shu protected Linni, staying close to Ye to prevent any wolves from breaking through Ye's defenses and harming Linni. Bai Ji also fought and retreated back to Ye's side. Although they were level three beasts, the highest level among wild animals, they couldn't withstand the sheer number of level two wolves. After fighting for a while, Ye had killed seven or eight wolves with his whip and bitten a few more, but faced with the wolves' fearless charge, Ye had no choice but to retreat.
In his beast form, he couldn't speak human language to communicate with Linni and the others, so he could only transform into human form and shout, "Prepare to break through!" Then he immediately transformed back into his snake form. There was no other way; his human form was too small to protect them.
Upon hearing this, Linni immediately clung to Baishu's back, holding him tightly. Baishu and Baiji were also prepared to break out at any moment. Ye launched a counterattack, slightly repelling the forest wolves, then lashed out with his snake tail several times in one direction, carving a path. Baishu, carrying Linni, leaped out and sprinted forward, with Baiji close behind. The forest wolves, realizing what was happening, immediately dispatched more than ten to chase after Baishu and the others. But without Baishu and the others, how could a level seven Ye be trapped by mere level two forest wolves? He unleashed his power, killing several forest wolves before quickly pursuing Baishu and the others.
Bai Shu and Bai Ji ran for about ten meters before being caught up by the forest wolves. Several times they were nearly bitten on the tail and hind legs. Ye quickly caught up and helped them hold off the wolves. Fighting as they ran, they crossed a large mountain and rushed into a valley. This valley had no trees, only a type of plant with red flowers, some two or three meters tall, others only one meter. Ye sensed something was wrong as soon as he saw the place and stopped abruptly at the entrance to the valley, transforming into human size and shouting, "Bai Shu, back out!"
The wolves behind were clearly wary of this place, stopping in the woods not far behind and not chasing after the spot where the night had stopped.
Seeing their reaction, Yamata felt even worse and quickly rushed in while still in her half-beast form: "Bai Shu, back out!"
"Roar--" Bai Shu and Bai Ji roared, indicating that they were fighting with some wild beast.
Ye rushed into the strange red flower bushes and saw a nearly three-meter-tall brown bear, its body radiating black energy, covered in black stripes, and with glowing red eyes, pouncing on Linni on Bai Shu's back. He rushed forward, but couldn't catch up. Fortunately, Bai Shu was agile enough to dodge, but its front legs were also grabbed by the ferocious-looking brown bear, whose sharp claws tore three bloody gashes into its white fur. Bai Shu rammed into the bear, knocking it away, and then the bear turned and slapped Bai Shu on the head with its massive paw, sending it flying.
Night realized that this brown bear actually possessed the strength of a level six orc. He quickly swung his snake tail to stop the bear from charging at Lin Ni. It was common knowledge among all orcs that wild beasts on the orc continent could only reach level three at most, so why was this brown bear level six? Without time to think, he engaged the bear in combat, shouting as he fought, "Lin, are you alright?!"
Linni lifted her head from Bai Shu's back: "I'm fine!" She looked around; the environment was very oppressive. Trying to calm herself down, she asked, "Shall we leave now?"
"The wolves are still outside." Night was annoyed: this useless white tiger first charged into the wolves' ambush, and then came to this wretched place, with a brown bear in front and wolves behind. Just as he was about to strangle the strange brown bear, the sound of animals running wildly came from afar, accompanied by the roars of beasts. Two large yellow tigers, also exuding black energy, with black stripes and red eyes, rushed into their sight. Night's heart sank. He yanked off the brown bear's forearm and shouted in panic, "Retreat!"
Timberwolves are so cute compared to these two level-six mutated tigers!
The two mutated tigers pounced on Lin Ni and the others a few meters away. A level three white tiger could not possibly dodge the full-force pounce of a level six beast. Ye quickly transformed back into a giant python and flew over. At the same time, Ye was also knocked to the ground by the two mutated tigers.
"Night!" Lin Ni's heart skipped a beat when she saw Night being bitten by two mutated tigers; it almost jumped out of her throat. Night roared and fought the two mutated tigers with all her might. Seeing that Night had successfully shaken off the tigers that were biting her, Lin Ni breathed a sigh of relief. She immediately turned to Bai Shu and said, "Let's go out first."
Bai Shu nodded and was about to turn and leave when, surprisingly, the brown bear whose forearm had been torn off by the night was not dead. It suddenly roared and charged. Seeing this, Bai Shu immediately leaped forward, unaware that several bright red flowers had silently wrapped around its injured forelimb. With a sudden jump, the vines tightened instantly, binding it tightly and causing it to lose its balance. Its massive body flew backward and crashed heavily to the ground. Lin Ni was also thrown back, rolling several meters before coming to a stop.
The brown bear immediately abandoned Bai Shu and roared as it charged towards Lin Ni.
"Forest-"
"Roar-"
Night and Bai Shu cried out in alarm simultaneously, their cries echoing throughout the valley. Night was tightly gripped by two level-six mutated tigers, unable to break free; while Bai Shu's forelimbs were entangled in the strange flower branches, making it difficult for him to escape. Bai Ji, who had been swatted away nearby, was in even more dire straits, his fate unknown.
Linni, who had been thrown into the air, finally managed to steady herself. When she looked up, she saw the brown bear with its severed left upper limb staring at her with its bloodshot eyes and gaping maw, charging menacingly towards her. She tried to run, but her body seemed frozen in place, unable to move. Time seemed to freeze at that moment, everything became incredibly slow, and Linni could only watch helplessly as the brown bear drew closer and closer.
