~ THROW IT OUT AND FEED IT TO THE WOLVES ~
The man felt fear in his heart, but he still held onto the child without letting go. He growled with a face full of hatred: “You … It was you, who brought us here, which made us besieged by hungry wolves in the cave. It was all your fault! Now we find a way to lure the wolves away, yet you’re stopping us again. Are you happy to see that we are all dead?”
The entire Yishui City was flooded, so they were forced to hide in the mountains. They had finally found this cave, but they were surrounded by hungry wolves. They had not eaten for several days and had only been able to rely on a bit of water flowing down from the caves. If they didn’t think of a way, they would be trapped here and become the food of hungry wolves.
“I’ve said it before that if a man thinks of himself as an animal, then there’s no need for him to continue living.” Yue Wang’s eyes were cold, and his arm was dripping with blood, but the long sword that remained did not move. Even though his countenance was weak, he still carried coercion that was not easy to resist.
Outside of the cave, the howls of the wolves, who heard human voices, rang out one after another and were especially loud in the forest.
The man gritted his teeth. “What if I don’t put the child down?”
“Kill you!” Yue Wang’s gaze was cold, without the slightest emotion.
The man suddenly threw the child in his embrace to Yue Wang, and then as if they had made an agreement before, several men among the victims picked up the stones from the ground and smashed them at Yue Wang ferociously. It was as if they had a deep hatred and blood feud in their hearts. Then, when Yue Wang had a chance to pick up the child, they directly surrounded and beat Yue Wang and even let out a low growl like a hungry wolf in their throats.
Yu Heng was so angry that his entire body trembled as he stepped forward and helped Yue Wang resist them.
Although they did not have much strength, he had the martial arts foundation to strengthen his body, and it did not take long for him to kick those people to the ground.
“Do you have any conscience? It was Fourth Master who saved you from the flood. In order to help you escape, he was even severely injured. You are repay kindness with a vengeance!”
In the end, Yue Wang and Yu Heng were worried about their identity and did not do anything cruel, but the victims did not appreciate their kindness, “We’re hungry … We haven’t had any good food for more than twenty days. There are wolves outside staring and want to eat us, so we don’t have the chance to go out and look for food. Since you guys won’t let you fight wolves, can’t we think of a way ourselves?”
“There’s a pack of hungry wolves outside. If we kill one of them aroused their ferocity and rushed in to kill us, none of us will be able to escape!” Yu Heng gritted his teeth. These people didn’t feel the slightest bit of gratitude in their hearts. Instead, they kept pushing them out in order to figure out a way to chase off the wolves. They didn’t even think that there were only two of them and hadn’t eaten for several days. How did they deal with it when they went out?
“In any case, he was going to die anyway. What difference did it make if he died early or late? There is water at the bottom of the mountain, and the wolves have nowhere to find food, so they will definitely stare at us. The wolves still have a lot of energy, and we can’t afford it anymore. While we still have some strength left in us, we have to think of a way to get out of this encirclement as soon as possible. However, I can’t say how many people will survive. If we don’t, when we are exhaustively hungry and can’t walk anymore, we’ll be eaten by the wolves.”
Yu Heng laughed mockingly, “Since you’ve already planned it all out, then you should just go all out against the wolves outside. Why are you attacking Fourth Master?” Although these people say many good things, they all wanted to push others out to their deaths and did not have any intentions of leading by themselves.
“Hmph, I told you not to go up this mountain, but you guys just refused to listen and insisted on bringing us into this cave. Now, we were surrounded by hungry wolves! If you listen to me and go to another mountain, we might even be able to find something to eat on the mountain now.”
“Your legs are on your own. If you didn’t want to follow me before, you could have left yourself. Could it be that our Fourth Master has tied you up and brought you here? All of you had initially sought Fourth Master’s protection, but now that something had happened, the blame was placed on him alone. You are simply wolf-hearted and dog-hearted. I shouldn’t have saved you all back then!”
Many victims lowered their heads in shame after hearing Yu Heng’s words. They were too hungry and helpless, and because of that person’s instigation, they mustered up their courage to attack Yue Wang. Now that so many people could not defeat Yue Wang and Yu Heng, their hearts were already filled with fear.
The man who spoke coldly snorted and muttered, “Who cares that you all save me?!”
Yue Wang raised his eyes, and a cold light flashed across his dark pupils: “Yu Heng, throw him out and feed him to the wolves!”
Fear flashed across the man’s face: “You …. What are you going to do? What right do you have to throw me out? I’m not good at martial art and can’t deal with wolves, so you should open the way!
Yue Wang’s face was cold, “What you said makes sense. If we couldn’t walk anymore due to hunger, there would be no way to deal with the wolves. Now it is best way to break out of this encirclement. Since you thought of the way, it should naturally be up to you to lead the way.”
“No, let me go, let me go! You’re taking revenge. You’re deliberately retaliated against me!”
The remaining victims panicked.
However, Yu Heng did not care about them at all. He directly picked up the clothes of the man who had spoken earlier and, without caring about his struggles, removed the joints of his arms, “Be honest, I will keep your legs. This way, you will have a chance to run out of the pack of wolves. If not, I will also remove your two legs so that you may attract more wolves.”
“No, no... Let go of me. You officials all like to disregard human life. Are the lives of ordinary people worthless? “You officials, who usually eat the salaries of the commoners and plunder the fat and cream of the people. Now that you are in danger, you let the commoners take the lead and push us to death. At this time, the two of you should take the lead together!”
Yu Heng sneered coldly, “You also said that both of us could do martial arts, so we have the confidence to deal with the wolves. Thus, we should stay behind to protect the remaining victims of the disaster at the expense of your own life. Don’t you want to keep everyone alive?”
“You all … You are trying to force the truth!”
“It’s fine for the two of us to be at the front and take the lead. In any case, we know martial arts. We might as well just break through the wolf pack and leave. However, whether the remaining people live or die has nothing to do with us.”
As soon as Yu Heng spoke, one of the victims immediately exclaimed, “No, you two Lords must not go to the forefront and lead the way. Just let this man move as he previously wanted to capture other people’s children and feed them to the wolves. We can tell enough that he is up to no good with one glance at him. Now we should let him attract the wolves.”
“That’s right....”
“Right....”
Yue Wang looked at this scene coldly. His eyes were calm and emotionless from start to finish: “Since you’ve decided, Yu Heng will make his move.”
“Yes, Master!”
“No, don’t....”
Yu Heng did not care about the man’s wails. He dragged the man directly to the entrance and used all his strength to kick him out.
The pack of wolves’ anxiety had already reached its peak before this. Now that they saw a human figure rushing towards them, they immediately rushed forward with a roar.
With a long sword in his hand, Yue Wang looked at the loopholes in the wolf pack’s encirclement, turned his head slightly, and ordered: “Follow closely. I won’t turn back and save you!”
The victims hurriedly got up, tried their best to narrow their bodies, and followed behind Yu Heng and Yue Wang as they rushed out of the cave.
