Chapter 75: the confrontation between man and wolf.
Qin Ruyan raised her hands, tightly gripping a small knife that was only about five centimeters long.
She focused all her distracted attention on the menacing wolf in front of her.
Even if it means death!
She should give it some fight, relying on the knife in her hand that symbolizes the inheritance of the Qin family's power!
This is Qin Ruyan's last struggle as the heiress of the Qin family!
The wolf, whether shocked by the sound or perhaps not expecting the prey to display such a final stance, slowly relaxed its limbs in preparation to pounce. It closed its mouth, which was originally open to bite, softly.
The lone wolf squatted on its hind limbs, sitting there like an eagle, and began to stare at Qin Ruyan, who was tense all over.
The wolf's eyes emitted a mournful green light, connecting with the girl's eyes, which held no light and only despair.
Although the scene appeared somewhat harmonious, it was terrifying to the extreme.
As a hunter, the lone wolf had a lot of initiative.
Qin Ruyan was just prey that had been targeted early, and the lone wolf couldn't be clearer about the other party's specific situation.
This kind of fury was not uncommon in the lone wolf hunting profession. Even a rabbit would kick twice with its hind legs before biting its throat off and dying.
So all the lone wolf had to do was wait. Its tail drooped softly, covering the wet ground, and the lone wolf consumed the last of Qin Ruyan's willpower.
Qin Ruyan stood on the spot with her entire body trembling, fully relying on adrenaline to hold on at this moment.
but...
"Bob..."
As a bean-sized drop of cold rain fell on her face, it began to rain heavily again.
Compared to Qin Ruyan, who sank instantly, the layer of fur on the wolf's body played a good role in blocking the rain.
Although constantly wet, more rainwater was diverted to the side by the fur.
It was definitely much better than Qin Ruyan, who was wet to the skin, shivering, and showing signs of hypothermia.
The small knife in her hand fell to the ground silently, but she didn't have the strength to bend down and pick it up again.
Her legs were weak; Qin Ruyan kept falling back and had to lean on the tree.
The last of the adrenaline in her body was fading.
Seeing the hungry beast standing in front of her and assuming a hunting stance again, Qin Ruyan, sitting quietly under the tree, couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and reveal a helpless smile.
The human body has its limits, after all.
Soon, she couldn't even open her eyes.
But Qin Ruyan suddenly saw a figure rushing out of the rain and called out a name that made her care… "Qin Rushuang!!!!"
My younger sister?
What happened?
She wanted to force her eyes open, but she lost the last of her strength at this moment.
She could only sit on the ground helplessly, then pant heavily to confirm that she was still alive.
Zhang Liu only realized that there was someone beside him when he heard the shouting coming from the forest not far away after the rain stopped.
Without any hesitation, he dropped the 'Black and Yellow Treasure Chest' that he had just broken with a stone.
He grabbed his simple spear and rushed there.
He hung a sheepskin bag on his chest as a shield.
He can be considered fully armed.
After all, Zhang Liu heard mysterious words like a despicable wild beast.
Then he saw a scene that frightened him to the utmost.
Qin Rushuang, who was supposed to be in the cave, was forced by the wolf to face the tree with her back.
She even fainted!
"Qin Rushuang!"
Shouting loudly, Zhang Liu's only thought at this moment was to draw all of the wolf's attention to himself.
"Roar!" When the wolf saw the enemy that suddenly appeared behind him, he immediately turned around and roared.
The predator's instinct makes him know that the second enemy that appears is more difficult to deal with.
Especially since one of the opponent's "claws" seems very long.
But the wolf remained hungry for six days after being expelled from the herd.
Yesterday, he tried to return to the wolf pack to look for some food, but he was discovered by the new wolf king, who chased him and bit him in many places on his body.
If he failed to search for food this time, he would have no way out.
After the roaring warning failed, the wolf turned around and targeted Zhang Liu.
The base of the tail is slightly raised, but the whole body is curled downward, which is preparation before attack.
Facing the tall creature that suddenly appeared behind him, the wolf, maddened by hunger, pounced directly on him.
Zhang Liu did not expect this attack at all.
"People who keep their promises are like large animals; lone wolves don't attack randomly, right?" (Note: The meaning is that people who keep their promises are punctual and predictable like wolves)
Inside the forest, it was dark, and he was unprepared. He could only determine that the opponent was attacking from the movement of the wolf's green eyes.
Then he raised his spear with both hands and stabbed the wolf forcefully.
Zhang Liu, who had no experience in fighting enemies, could only make subconscious counterattacks.
The wolf is also not accustomed to this method of attack.
But he still jumped into the air and dodged easily.
He turned around and bit Zhang Liu's neck.
No matter what type of creature, the neck is always a weak point, and wolves know this well.
Zhang Liu's neck was fine, but the sheepskin bag was bitten by the wolf's mouth.
The wood fiber rope was directly broken, and only half of it fell silently from the back of his neck to the ground.
If it weren't for his luck, when Zhang Liu unconsciously turned around to avoid it, the sheepskin bag would have hit his throat.
With this bite, even if he didn't die instantly, he wouldn't be able to escape the fate of severe bleeding and death.
The sheepskin bag fell on the wet ground with two uneaten pieces of mutton and jiabao, and after twisting it several times, it made no sound.
Zhang Liu didn't have time to pay attention to this matter, so he quickly ran forward several steps, then turned around and stood in front of the unconscious Qin Rushuang.
Now that the wolf is ready to hunt,
Then he has no way out.
He was wet all over, but Zhang Liu didn't care about that at the moment; he gradually began to adapt to the small light in the forest and focused all his attention on the wolf.
In the barren mountains and hills, the confrontation between man and wolf begins once again.
But this time, the attack and defense changed!
In the first battle, Zhang Liu almost suffered a huge loss and was almost bitten in the neck by a wolf.
Attacking from this point first is the same as having Qin Ruyan guarded from the hungry wolf for a long time.
He doesn't take many chances.
But from the perspective of consuming physical strength, Zhang Liu and Qin Ruyan were completely different.
Under normal circumstances, human endurance is much higher than that of animals.
In terms of physical strength, men are naturally stronger than women.
What's more, Zhang Liu was still in this position after eating and drinking early in the morning.
Before trying to open the closet door,
He had eaten a piece of lamb and a jiabao fruit and drank an entire bottle of water to reward himself!
This is much better than a wolf that has been hungry for six days!
