Although there were a lot of tents here, the place was not overflowed with them. Hence, when they looked toward the bushes from where they were, they could see a ferocious wolf growling and padding over, stalking incredibly slowly and softly.
“Ah! It’s a wolf!” Lin Meiyan who had been engrossed with her beauty cried aloud before she stumbled back trembling.
Yun Jian narrowed her eyes and stood up from the stool when the women around her began to retreat in fear and some had even ran to hide in the tent shaking like a leaf.
“A wolf! A wolf!”
The women there shrieked with pale faces.
Coincidentally, the men had gone to help at the old well with Lou Guodong. Everyone wanted to enter the catacomb as soon as they could, worried that somebody else would go just one step ahead of them and get to the treasure in the catacomb first—if there were any.
The women were the only ones left in the area where the tents were pitched.
“Ah! Why is this happening? All the men have gone to help. Why is there a wolf now?” Some women screeched as they ran toward where the men were, which was the dried well.
Even Wen Yan who was being put on the pedestal had gone to the well to help out now, so there was honestly no man left here.
The women’s subconscious was that they were weaker than the men, so all of them were panicking like they were definitely dying in this situation.
“Ah! Is it… is it coming here?” Lin Meiyan was gripping Fang Shaoqin’s clothes in fear, looking pale as sheet.
“Run! Hurry and run! We’ll run to where the well is. They’re all over there!” a woman began to shout, thinking that they would be safe as long as they escaped to where the men were.
“It’s too late.” Just when these women were losing their mind in panic and wanted to flee to the men for protection, Yun Jian’s nonchalant voice that was lacking of fear rang.
“What do you mean it’s too late? Are you wishing that we’d all die here? Why are you so cruel? Everyone, run!” Lin Meiyan vocalized her thought and suddenly shoved Fang Shaoqin away to lead the way to the well.
“Awoo!” the wolf howled.
What followed was Yun Jian’s unnerving smirk. With a small smile, she explained, “Wolves move in a pack. Do you think there’d be only one wolf?”
Just as she said that, dozens of wolves pounced from the bushes. Their eyes were trained on the women in front of them with some blocking the way toward the well.
“H-how’s there so many wolves? I—I don’t want to die. Wuwu…” The group of women hugged each other as they wailed, trembling in fear.
Lin Meiyan lost her bearing from the terror as well.
The pack of wolves closed in slowly. It was at the same time that Yun Jian suddenly pulled the sharp butterfly knife that she had just gotten from Zatana out of her pants pocket. She sighed with a smile before calmly telling Lan Su who was behind her, “They came just in time. I want to try out how good this knife is, heh. Lan Su, let’s go!”
“Got it!” Receiving the order, Lan Su flicked her wrist and retrieved two flying darts from both sides of her pants pockets. She was used to using darts, so she grabbed them in her hands to wield them like knives.
“Are y-you two thinking of…” Lin Meiyan screamed at the sight.
Did they—did they want to fight tens of these wolves with the weapons that looked like they did not guarantee any victory at all? Was this a joke?
Simultaneously, Lin Meiyan saw Yun Jian smirk. The tug of lips was an unsettling flash on the average freckled face. The next second, she saw Yun Jian let out a soft shout and charge forward with Lan Su.
What happened next shocked Lin Meiyan and the women who wanted nothing but to depend on the men and thoroughly flipped their worldview upside down…
