Chapter 629: After the Killing
raised her chopsticks, "Come on, eat up. Jinxiu has been busy since this morning, I'm watching you all, who dares to waste it."Yu Lian seemed to have figured it out. Both her older brother and second...Given Shen Li's current mental and emotional state, he might not be able to strictly follow her orders.
Before, seeing his extraordinary martial arts skills, I was so excited that I wanted to bring him closer and use him, but I forgot that in this state he was very likely out of control.
If he runs out and startsle the grass once we're up the mountain, not listening to commands or staying under control, taking him there would be counterproductive.
Just as Fang Jinshi was worried, the coachman suddenly cried out in alarm.
"Yes, there's a wolf!"
Everyone immediately stood up, nervously huddling together, their eyes constantly darting around the forest.
After a while, several pairs of eerie eyes began to gleam in the darkness. They were the eyes of wild beasts, reflecting the light of the night.
Zhao Yi and Zhao Er immediately surrounded Fang Jinshu, "Miss Zong, you should take Chang He back to the carriage first and avoid this."
"These animals, hand them over to us."
Fang Jinxiu nodded. She, Chang He, and the coachman were all non-combatants. Staying here would only make them targets for the pack of wolves, holding them back.
It's better to hide in a carriage.
At this time, Shen Li, who had been quietly playing with an anthill, disappeared.
When everyone faced the wolf pack, they were too nervous and forgot about Shen Li. By the time Fang Jinshi and the others got in the car, Zhao Yi and Zhao Er only then remembered that they still had a martial arts expert here.
"Where is Shen Li"
"The person was just here."
Although Fang Jinshi got into the carriage, she kept half of the curtain up and observed the situation outside.
Upon hearing Zhao Yi and Zhao Er's words, she frowned and began to look around.
"Shen Li"
As the wolf pack closed in, the eerie light within the forest kept shifting positions. It was a testament to the wolves gradually shrinking their encirclement.
They have surrounded them completely.
In a short time, the wolf pack will inevitably find an opportunity to launch an attack.
Fang Jinshu shrieked Shen Li's name in desperation, and suddenly the next second a loud commotion came from the forest.
Zhao Yī Zhao r were extremely nervous and said, "Lady Zong, your safety is the most important. Please hide inside first. It's estimated that wolves have come!"
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, Shen Li suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"You called me." He looked at Fang Jinshu, his gaze still so simple and straightforward.
He startled everyone.
"Shen Li, you stay by the carriage and protect Miss Zong's safety. Don't wander around!"
"There's a pack of wolves outside, let's deal with them first."
Shen Li heard the words "wolf pack," and he heaved the thing in his hand upward with a grunt.
"Is this what you mean"
Shen Li was actually carrying a dead wolf in his hand!
A sharp blade protruded from the wolf's neck, a lethal strike that ended its life swiftly and cleanly.
Fang Jinshu was surprised to look at Shen Li, not only him, but everyone else was shocked.
"You, how did you kill that wolf We didn't hear a thing."
Shen Li stared blankly for a moment, as if pondering how to answer.
Fang Jinshi raised her hand to stop Zhao Yi.
"No need to ask, even though he lost his memory, his instinct for danger is still there."
When the pack of wolves drew near, Shen Li had already positioned himself in a more advantageous spot, striking down the approaching wolf with one decisive blow.
The uneasiness in her heart dissipated somewhat; at least Shen Li's abilities were undeniable.
Fang Jinxiu tried to give Shen Li an order.
"Shen Li, can you kill all these wolves outside"
Shen Li nodded, dropped the wolf carcass in his hand and without a word turned and walked back into the dark forest.
Zhao Yi and Zhao Er wanted to help, but Fang Jinshu stopped them.
"No need, wait until he can't handle it, then you go help."
She wanted to know just how capable Shen Li was.
Zhao Yi Zhao Er retreated back.
They waited for a while, but besides the occasional rustling sounds in the woods, they couldn't hear any animal calls.
Even the timid Chang He couldn't help but speak up.
"Sister-in-law, is Brother Shen really killing wolves"
"How come I can't hear any movement or sound, he, he wouldn't have run off himself, would he"
As soon as Song Changhe finished speaking, a figure emerged from the edge of the firelight, walking closer and closer.
Shen Li dragged the corpses of seven or eight wolves with both hands and walked out slowly.
Not until he stood before the carriage did he let go, saying casually.
"It's done."
It seemed like killing a few wolves was as simple as slaughtering a few chicks for him, with no excitement or boastful expression on his face.s contorted. If the master were standing before him, injured, he, the head guard, wouldn't have to do anything else; he would draw his sword and commit seppuku to apologize.Shen Li became angry and tr...
