Chapter 7 Jackals, Tigers and Leopards

The day is still bright, with little bits of light shining on it, and the clear clouds are quiet and slowly spreading.

A winding trail is laid out quietly in the mountains and fields, pure and leisurely, and you can listen to the harmonious sounds of nature.

Suddenly, two cheerful figures gradually approached and blended into this world uninvited.

Not far from the pine forest, Yuxuan slowed down and looked at the dense woods in front of him. He suddenly felt uneasy and felt that something was going to happen.

"Brother Yuxuan, what's wrong?"

Later, when Xirou saw Yuxuan stop, she curiously poked her head around and looked around at the scenery.

Dense forests and shrubs are filled with the sounds of birds and insects.

"fine."

Waving his hand to Xirou, Yuxuan continued to walk forward, but his mind was secretly on guard. He always felt that there was something different in the dense forest in front of him.

As we gradually approached the pine forest, no accidents occurred.

Yuxuan felt a little relieved. Could it be that he was too doubtful?

Now they quickened their pace, and the two of them had already passed through most of the dense forest in just the time it took them to stick an incense stick.

At this time, Xirou shouted from behind that the soles of her feet were sore, so Yuxuan had to stop and take a short rest.

Find a big and thick tree, use the spring snow to cut down some leafy branches, and sweep the bottom of the tree clean.

Then, Xirou sat down, took out the water bottle and drank deeply.

Yuxuan also took a few sips, and then took out the food he had packed earlier and shared it with Xirou. The two of them ate some with relish.

"Swish, swish"

Suddenly, a sound of shaking leaves came from the deep forest.

Yuxuan raised his eyebrows, quickly put down the food in his hand, picked up Chunxue, and made a silencing gesture towards Xirou.

Then he tilted his head and listened with bated breath.

The swishing sound got louder and louder, and got closer and closer. A large number of forest birds flew into the sky not far away, and soon they were getting closer.

"Xirou, hide behind the tree!"

Looking back and yelling at Xirou, Yuxuan secretly sighed that something was wrong.

He pulled out Chunxue, and as the sword light flickered, a black shadow jumped out of the bush and appeared above Yuxuan's head!

"Brother Yuxuan, be careful!"

Behind the tree, Xirou clearly saw an adult gray wolf, as strong as a calf, baring its teeth and roaring as it rushed towards Yuxuan. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she shouted in fear.

"hateful!"

The fishy smell in the gray wolf's mouth was overwhelming, and Yuxuan gritted his teeth and drank.

The incident happened suddenly, and there was no time to prepare. At this time, the wolf's claws were already hanging close to one foot above his head, which greatly restricted Haruyuki's performance.

Helpless, Yuxuan had no choice but to fall to the ground, rolling around a few times, and then a carp jumped to the side.

The next moment, Gray Wolf's body hit Yuxuan's previous position heavily.

His teeth were bared, his eyes were green and fierce, his front body was slightly bent, his hind leg muscles were tense, and he was whimpering and gathering strength to tear.

Yuxuan confronted him with his sword, sweating secretly. Fortunately, he reacted in time, otherwise, he would have died in vain at the mouth of an animal.

"wrong!"

Suddenly, Yuxuan's eyes narrowed, and he found that although the gray wolf in front of him had a fierce attitude, it was reluctant to attack. His eyes occasionally wandered, wanting to escape, but still showing fear.

Is it afraid?

With a chill in his heart, Yuxuan began to think about it.

Generally speaking, wolves live in groups, and they cooperate with each other to catch up with their prey. They rarely have any intention of retreating until they catch the prey!

There is nothing scary about a lone wolf, but a pack of wolves.

Lone wolves rarely attack rashly. Generally, after being threatened, they will leave temporarily and howl to attract their companions.

The one in front of me is clearly out of line with common sense.

Based on this inference, it can be inferred that it was driven here deliberately!

Moreover, it is very afraid of the other party. If you think about it again, you just left home and have no personal grudges. You don't need to think too much to know who it is that can act like this!

"The lingering despicable villain."

Having determined who was behind it, Yuxuan's face darkened and he cursed in a low voice. He really regretted letting that damn fat man go.

With a flick of his wrist, Haruyuki was struck by a sword. At the same time, Yuxuan stepped forward and rushed straight towards the gray wolf on the opposite side.

Since this beast doesn't want to leave, let's kill it!

"Ouch~"

Feeling the threat, the gray wolf was also aroused with ferocity, howled low, kicked the ground with its hind legs, exposed its fangs and bit Yuxuan fiercely.

After all, animals have no sense and have no room to resist in the face of the first level of Yuxuan.

I saw a flash of cold light, a person and an animal passing by, Haru Xue brought out a blood arrow, Yu Xuan stood calmly, panting slightly.

After landing on the ground, the gray wolf staggered for a few steps, then stumbled to the ground, panting violently, and soon became silent.

Under his abdomen, there was a hideous wound, gushing red.

"Brother Yuxuan."

Seeing that the gray wolf was dead, Xirou's face turned pale, and she ran over worriedly. She walked around Yuxuan's body to check carefully and gave up after finding that there was no injury.

Yu Xuan'an stroked Xi Rou's hair. Chun Xue had not sheathed it. The tip of the sword was facing down. The wolf blood was dripping out. He looked around with sharp eyes.

"Hiding your head and showing your tail, do you dare to show up and see me?"

Facing the sky, Yuxuan shouted in a deep voice, "At this moment, you must not mess up your position."

After hearing what Yuxuan said, Xirou also realized that someone was behind the whole thing, and she immediately looked at it with anger on her face.

However, after several breaths, there was no movement except for the whistling of the breeze and the rustling of the forest grass.

Seeing this, Yuxuan looked like he had known this all along. The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he turned his head to face the gray wolf corpse and smiled: "It seems that you are the more upright beast."

"Junior is so brave!"

"presumptuous!"

"You are so angry with your Mr. Tiger!"

"Huh, sharp-tongued boy!"

…

Finally, Yuxuan's provocative words had an effect. The man in the dark could no longer hold back, and four loud shouts erupted from different directions.

Then, four burly figures jumped out of the forest and hit Yuxuan and Yu Xuan in front and behind, with anger and vigor raging.

When Yuxuan saw four big men coming out, his eyes narrowed and his heart felt heavy. He subconsciously protected Xirou and looked at the people coming carefully.

These four people, all with rough and tough looks, were all bare-chested and wearing military uniforms and trousers.

With his bulging muscles and fierce eyes, he looked like a Lian Jiazi, the kind of Lian Jiazi who had gone through bloody experiences.

The most noteworthy thing is that each of the four opponents has a tattoo engraved on their right chest. Carefully identify them, and they are jackal, wolf, tiger and leopard in order. I don’t know what the meaning is.

"Everyone, I don't know what you want to do?"

Although he knew the other party's intention, Yuxuan still raised his sword and asked the man with the jackal and tiger tattoo in front of him. At the same time, he protected Xirou and moved slowly to the left.

The four of them had a clear view of the actions of Yuxuan and the others. They showed disdain and did not stop them. They allowed Yuxuan and the others to withdraw from the encirclement.

The four of them stood in a row, laughing sinisterly.

Taking the lead, the tiger-striped man stepped forward dissatisfied, and patted his chest impatiently. He glared at Yuxuan and shouted: "You little bastard, you were so arrogant just now. Come on, let your Mr. Tiger see what you can do."

!”

Being so arrogant, Yuxuan looked a little ugly, but it was hard to get angry.

After observing just now, he was horrified to find that the four opponents were not weaker than him in strength, and the lowest was at the first level of heaven!

But around me, Xirou has not practiced martial arts too much due to physical reasons. At most, she is on the verge of the first level. What should she do?

A slight cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and Haruyuki held it tightly. The tiger-striped man over there was impatient, so he stood up and walked in this way.

Suddenly, the tiger-striped man shouted loudly, stepped heavily on the ground, clenched his right fist, and with a high leap, he rushed towards the door in front of Yuxuan.

The situation no longer allowed for consideration. At that moment, Yuxuan Chunxue pushed Xirou away, making a half arc with the soles of his feet, breathing lightly, secretly channeling his internal energy, and waited quietly for the other party to come over.

Soon, in the blink of an eye, the big man with tiger stripes wrapped his fists tightly and bullied him fiercely.

In Yuxuan's eyes, he could clearly see the veins on the bulging muscles of the opponent's arms.

Amidst the latter's ferocious laughter, Yuxuan retracted his legs and ducked to avoid the heavy punch. At the same time, Haruyuki swept across the tiger-striped man's chest before he could even raise his legs.
