Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 164: Chapter 164 There are two wolves that have been missed

Yunyi watched as Huo Jingrui composedly arranged the upcoming tasks with everyone, and she couldn’t help but think of the times they had fought side by side on the battlefield. He was always so dazzling.

At his command, everyone quickly dashed toward their designated young wolves.

The moment Huo Jingrui descended from the tree, he didn’t forget to remind Yunyi, who was on another tree. ”Chu Zhiqing,” he said, ”just hold tight to the tree trunk. There’s no need to be afraid with us here.”

If not for the fear of alarming those in the deep mountains, they would have long since opened fire and killed these young wolves.

Yun Yiyi didn’t descend immediately. She stayed in the tree, keeping an eye on the battle below. However, when she spotted two young wolves lurking not far away, she disregarded everything else and quickly slid down the tree.

At that moment, she could no longer worry about the volume of her voice or the consequences. ”Two wolves were overlooked!” she exclaimed.

No sooner had she spoken than the two wolves charged. One was about to bite the arm of a soldier fighting the other wolves on the perimeter. Several people cried out simultaneously, ”Watch out!” It all happened in a flash. Just when everyone thought the soldier couldn’t avoid it, Yunyi rushed over and kicked that wolf in the head.

The wolf was sent flying, its trajectory instantly altered. But just then, the other wolf lunged at Yunyi’s shoulder.

Yunyi had no time to dodge, and she couldn’t just disappear in front of so many people. At that critical moment, Huo Jingrui erupted with unprecedented, astonishing strength.

He swiftly ended the life of the wolf in front of him with a single strike, then leaped toward Yunyi. He rolled on the ground with her, narrowly avoiding the attacking wolf. Fearing the dagger in his hand might hurt Yunyi, he had thrown it away as he lunged.

During the roll, their coordination was seamless. ”Are you alright?” Huo Jingrui asked, his voice tight with concern.

At that moment, Huo Jingrui was immensely grateful for his Night Vision Ability. If he hadn’t been able to save her in time, he dared not contemplate the consequences.

Despite the many thoughts racing through his mind, he knew this wasn’t the time. The two quickly separated and got up from the ground.

Once stable, Yunyi responded, ”I’m fine.” Afterward, she charged straight at the wolf she had kicked away. She was indeed still a bit shaken from the close call. With a surge of ferocity, she aimed for its neck.

This time, she used her Inner Strength and didn’t give the wolf a chance to struggle, ending its life directly.

As she made her move, Huo Jingrui chased after her. Just as the young wolf’s blood splattered, he pulled Yunyi away from the spot.

His speed was incredible! Yunyi couldn’t help but wonder if this man had also cultivated Inner Strength and practiced Martial Arts.

As they finished their part, the others had also dealt with their assigned wolves.

Huo Jingrui had everyone confirm that all the wolves were dead and that only minor injuries had been sustained. Only then did he command, ”Pack up and leave this place immediately. We’ll find water up ahead to clean ourselves, so their companions don’t track us by the scent.”

Everyone acted quickly, and Yunyi intentionally stayed at the back.

Wolf meat isn’t tasty, so she had little interest in that. However, she was very interested in the wolf pelts. It would be a pity to leave them behind. With such a strong scent of blood, it wouldn’t take long to attract other carnivores. Instead of letting them benefit, she might as well.

She moved swiftly, and wherever she passed, the wolf carcasses quickly disappeared.

Just as she finished collecting them, she ran a few steps forward and saw Huo Jingrui, who had been walking ahead, turning back to meet her.

Before she could speak, Huo Jingrui grabbed her arm and started running forward, pulling her along.
