Rebirth of a Star General Chapter 68
Suffering at your own expense
The source of the sound was not far away. He Yan galloped her horse hurriedly, with Shen Hong, who said, “Hey, wait for me!” and then followed behind her as he ran.
As they went forward to the top of the mountain, over the hill, due to the shade, the forest got denser and increasingly moist. The sunlight could hardly peek though in front of people, and it just felt like a dark night – cold and gloomy. He Yan stopped in front of the bushes.
She saw the three people including Zheng Xuan in front of her, and the horses shifted on the spot anxiously and did not dare to step forward. Zheng Xuan’s face was pale, and the other two were almost crying.
Around the three of them, there were four wolves crouched down, and howled in a low tone at them. When He Yan and two of them came over, these wolves looked fiercely towards He Yan.
How can there be wolves in this season and at this time? He Yan was a little surprised.
As she looked at Zheng Xuan’s and the others, they were all in a mess. He Yan also noticed that the knife on Zheng Xuan’s waist was missing. The pack of wolves usually attacked a single person, but would not attack the three of them for no reason. He Yan asked, “What did you do?”
Zheng Xuan did not speak with a pale face. The recruit behind him opened his mouth as he cried, “We, we walked to the front and saw a cave from which we heard a cry. So we went in and saw that there is a litter of wolf pups…”
“You moved the wolf pup?” He Yan asked sharply.
She said this so sternly, that the recruits were taken aback, and quickly replied, “No, no, we just want to take it back and raise it. It didn’t take long before we saw these wolves.”
He Yan wanted to pry the brains of these people away to see what was inside. When a person saw a wolf den, it meant that the female wolf was nearby. Instead of leaving quickly, they wanted to take away the cub of the wolf. Did they really think that the wolf would not follow the smell?
“Where is the wolf cub?” He Yan asked.
“…We were terrified and hurriedly threw the wolf pups back to them, but…”
“Just what?” He Yan suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
“It’s just that one fell on the tip of the stone and looked to be dead.” The man said.
“You!” He Yan was extremely angry. This pack of wolves will not leave.
“What are you yelling at?!?” Zheng Xuan was angry, “Isn’t it just a few wolves? Just kill them! People will be forced to death by a few beasts?”
He Yan sneered, “Really? What about your knife?”
Zheng Xuan’s face was even more ugly. After he threw the wolf cub to death, he also drew his sword and confronted the wolves, but the wolves were cunning. He had good sword skills, but when he was nervous, he was taken advantage of by the wolf and was almost injured. Even the knife was lost. If this were not the case, he wouldn’t be facing such a desperate situation now.
“Stop talking nonsense, now either die together or find a way.” He forced a few words between his teeth.
As he talked, Shen Hong arrived with his horse. He was shocked when he saw this scene, and his voice immediately trembled, “So, so many wolves! How are there so many wolves?”
The wolves had already crouched, and showed their fangs. This was a sign of attack.
It’s okay if there was a fire torch, wolves are afraid of fire, but as they came out in daylight, they didn’t bring them. Just when she thought of this, the four wolves rushed towards three people who were together.
The three screamed in panic, and one of the horse’s legs was bitten and he almost fell. Shen Hong was almost crying as he yelled, “Help!”
What’s the use of calling for help now? As there was no one else here, He Yan rushed in with a heartbeat. With this rush, she broke up the encirclement of the wolf. When several wolves saw her, they rushed towards her.
He Yan urged, “Where is your spear? Take it out and use it!”
“Oh, oh.” The two recruits woke up from their daze, and then they remembered their long spears, and they drew them out and waved them randomly, but they couldn’t hold them securely. He Yan’s heart suddenly felt cold.
It’s impossible to count on these people. He Yan wanted to touch the knife, only to remember that her knife was just borrowed by Shen Hong. She only had a long bamboo stick on her body. She shouted, “Shen Hong, throw my knife here!”
Shen Hong responded by drawing the knife with a tremble and threw it over, but he was too nervous, so he didn’t even throw it properly. The long knife fell in the air, which left only a short knife inserted in the sheath, which was thrown in midair and collected by He Yan.
The wolves moved around them again as they waited for the opportunity, He Yan said, “When I let you run, you will run back, leave everything alone, run down the mountain, run to the camp, let the teachers come up here, got it ?”
Shen Hong asked, “What about you?”
“I have a way to get rid of them!”
“He Yan, how can we run?” The recruits beside Zheng Xuan sobbed, “We are surrounded. They will bite the horse’s leg. If the horse’s leg is broken, we can’t get away…”
“It’s not that there is no way.” After He Yan said this, the short knife in her hand flew out suddenly. As the knife was small, she moved swiftly, and in the blink of an eye everyone saw the silver light flashing, and there was a horrible howl and the blood flowed out suddenly.
The biggest wolf fell to the ground and started to bleed out from his throat. The knife was completely submerged, only the hilt of the knife was left outside. After struggling a few times, the wolf stopped breathing.
“Run!” He Yan shouted.
Zheng Xuan and Shen Hong didn’t dare to show their courage. They immediately shouted “Hail” and rushed out of the dense forest with all their strength. They thought that the remaining wolves would chase them, so they didn’t dare to look back, and lost the figures in the blink of an eye.
The few remaining wolves didn’t chase them, they panicked for a moment and then looked at He Yan with vicious eyes.
He Yan killed the head wolf.
Wolves are social animals. Among these wolves, the biggest one was their leader. They listened to the wolf’s command, and He Yan killed it. They had no head, so they were not as smart as they were as a group. But in the same way, as the price of killing the head wolf, she will have to face revenge from these wolves.
A wolf leaped towards her with its white teeth exposed, its sharp claws and teeth could tear a person’s head apart. He Yan swept the stick fiercely in front of him and swept the wolf forward and pushed it into the air.
“Creak”, it was a very slight sound but He Yan’s ears attuned so her heart sank when she heard it.
The bamboo stick had cracks and may not be able to support the attack several times.
“Bad luck!” She cursed in a low voice, she could have dealt with three wolves alone, but now she has no weapons except this stick that was about to break. She really was a hero without a penny. No, it’s a blessing in disguise. It never rained, but it poured.[1]
People can’t be forced to death by animals – she chuckled as she thought of Zheng Xuan’s words just now.
On the battlefield, besides taking the initiative to attack, she actually had one thing she was good at, and that was to escape.
“Flee!”
The girl’s voice resounded through the mountains and forests, and countless birds took off. The long stick seemed to have infinite strength as it slashed straight ahead which forcibly opened an open path.
She drove her hose away with a long stick in her hand and seemed to disappear into the distant mountains and forests.
With the wolves that chased her, she felt like a fish that was swimming in boiling water[2]. There was no time to lose.
