Chereads / Starfall from Heaven / Chapter 5 - Danger in the Mountain

Chapter 5 - Danger in the Mountain

The crowd has already set out for a month, the way safe and sound. This can be seen in the Starfall Pavilion disciples of the powerful place, the leader of the Zhang Tianling mature and sophisticated, red girl is also force to bear, there is no conflict contradiction, a sword will be afraid along the road of the mountain bandits fleeing. The two are quite reliable can be relied on, escorting the crowd all the way to safety.

Just Jade for people cold, on the way, Nancy looked at her always chewing dry steamed bread, boldly handed her a piece of air-dried mutton, did not expect that the woman did not mind, generous take over, one to two to be able to say a few words, after all, even with the Starfall Pavilion protégé Zhang Tianling in front of her can not be a good face.

That day, the crowd came to a large mountain just to see this mountain, lush trees, thick miasma.

The majestic mountains stood on the horizon as if they were the backbone of the earth. The peaks of the mountains were staggered, undulating in height, some of them piercing straight through the clouds and sky, a spectacular sight. The mountains were covered with ancient trees, rooted in the steep stone walls, with lush foliage, like a sea of green!

Seeing this mountain, the ever composed Zhang Tianling also showed a smile of relief and said, "We only need to go over this barbaric mountain, and the Starfall Pavilion will be close at hand. The crowd couldn't help but rejoice, after a month of sleeping and eating, this kind of hard life was finally coming to an end.

The night was heavy, all around was silence, only the dancing firelight of the campfire made an occasional crackling sound. After a day of exhausting activity, the crowd stopped talking and took out food. Stone took out steamed buns, and carefully took out beef jerky, sandwiching it between them and handing it to Nancy.

But suddenly a cry came from the campsite, "There are wolves! Wolves!"

The people saw the scene in front of them, all sucking in a breath of cold air, only to see several pairs of green eyes flashing a cold light around them, gradually a group of calf-sized wolves bared their fangs, their eyes stern, rotating around the people, approaching a little. This wolf in the stone seemed very different from what he had seen before, how could there be such a huge wolf on Earth?

As the wolves faced each other, suddenly, this group of animals had no fear of the flames, and rushed wildly forward. Stone quickly drew his scythe, shielding Nancy tightly behind him.

It was then that Jade's greatness was revealed. In the bright moonlight, her long hair fluttered in the wind like a waterfall, and she drew the long sword at her waist, which flashed with a chilling light, and whenever the wolves tried to approach, they were repelled by the aura of her sword. Her posture was athletic and her sword skills exquisite, each swing of her sword was like a dance, delicate and powerful. However, the strange thing was that whenever she swung her sword, a yellowish-blue light was emitted around her body, but it wasn't very clear to see in the dark. The red dress was like fire, and between the sword dances, the wolves showed their decrepitude one by one.

Seeing Jade's bravery, the crowd calmed down a little. However, just as Stone was shocked by the sword skills of the woman in front of him, as his spirits were rising, a green wolf inexplicably appeared in the middle of the crowd and took Nancy, who was hiding behind Stone, and ran away.

Stone was taken by surprise and hurriedly shouted at Zhang Tianling and Jade, "Come and save us! With that, he leapt out and slashed viciously at the green wolf with his scythe. The green wolf ate the pain, threw Nancy away, turned and bit the stone, ran towards the forest and disappeared in a while.

At that moment, Zhang Tianling was protecting the other students, Jade and the other wolves were fighting hard, even though the sword in her hand was dancing with the wind and clouds, but there were many wolves, and she also had some difficulties fighting. After a thrilling battle, the wolves were finally repelled.

A stunned Nancy, frozen in place, hissed and cried, "Save my brother.

Jade casually pulled a feathered arrow from her breast and threw it high into the sky, then a bright light flashed in the sky.

She took a deep breath and said, "This place is not far from the Starfall Pavilion, and soon fellow students will come to help us.

Although Jade was slightly tired, she immediately said to Zhang Gongzi, "I'll go find him, you protect the others.

At that moment, Stone was being dragged forward by that majestic green wolf with a deadly bite on his lapel, Stone clutched his scythe and struggled, but the green wolf was unmoved. The deeper he went into the mountain range, the more Stone's heart sank. This was already the backcountry of the mountains, such a deep area, even if someone was willing to come to his rescue, finding his trail was undoubtedly a needle in a haystack. Just when he was worried, the green wolf suddenly shook off the stone, the stone tightly gripped the scythe in his hand, the muscles of his entire body tensed, facing this fierce beast, he felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, cold sweat dripped down, that's when he realised the pressure Zhang Tianling and Jade were under.

Stone was about to engage it in a fight to the death, but the green wolf suddenly let out a howl. Immediately after that, the surroundings seemed to suddenly come alive as pairs of flickering green eyes appeared, all of them staring intently at Shi. The stone's heart sank, this was a dead end, facing this group of wolves, it was as if he had fallen into an inescapable dead end.

In the moment of crisis, the stone suddenly appeared before a red shadow. The sword was like a rainbow cutting through the sky, the leader saw it and jumped aside, and the wolves fell to the ground in this red whirlwind, like straw easily cut by a sharp blade.

At that moment, there was no wolf left on the battlefield, and Jade's eyes grew cold, she put down her sword like the wings of a phoenix, and turned to the stone.

And at that moment, the stone drank fiercely, "Be careful!" It turned out that the cunning green leader wolf did not give up, it lurked aside like a ghost and approached silently at that moment, caught off guard, Jade was thrown to the ground and the wolf's sharp teeth bit hard into her shoulder. As tough as Jade was, she couldn't help but let out a muffled grunt.

Just as Jade was about to fight back, two more wily wolves jumped out of the side, one to the left and one to the right, their sharp teeth clenching around her arm. The pain and pressure put Jade in a momentary dilemma, her body unable to move.

Seeing Jade in trouble, Stone immediately drew his scythe and charged at the two wolves. He knew that at this critical moment, only a decisive strike could save Jade's life.

Stone's attack was like a kite in the wind, nimble and swift, a vicious slash broke the she-wolf's waist, Jade took the opportunity to slice off the paw of the wolf that was pouncing on him, the green wolf ate the pain, Jade took the opportunity to disengage and plunged his sword into the beast's heart, rolling to the side, his arm dripping with bright red blood.

Covering his arm and gritting her teeth to bear the pain of the injury, Jade gasped for breath and said sharply, "This place is not suitable for a long stay, go quickly. 

He was worried that there were still wolves lurking around. The two of them ran towards the west at a fast pace, and soon a black shadow landed quickly from a high altitude.

This black shadow looked around and fixed his eyes on the wolves, who were still twitching and uttering mournful cries because they were not completely dead. With a flash of cold light, his hand swiftly slashed at the wolves. Each strike was accurate to the millimetre, and these wolves were completely killed without the slightest resistance. Having done all this, he didn't stop and disappeared into the night like a ghost in the wind.

After walking for almost an hour, a remote wooden house gradually came into view. Despite the surprise in Stone's heart, Jade's face did not show the slightest hint of surprise. Stone walked forward, gently pushed open the wooden door, stepped inside and said, "How fortunate that there is such a shelter in the middle of nowhere.

There was a slight 'thud' from behind him. Stone turned to see the familiar red figure fall to the ground. It turned out that Jade had been struggling to catch up, and after a long trek her injuries had worsened and her face had turned pale as paper, so that she couldn't hold on any longer and passed out.

Stone's heart sank as he rushed forward and examined her injuries. The two huge bite marks were particularly shocking, and fresh blood was still slowly oozing from them. He quickly took the water he had with him to clean the wounds, then pressed his hand against the arteries near the wounds to minimise the bleeding. Concerned that his outer clothing might contain dust, he tore a clean piece of cloth from his underwear and carefully bandaged her wound.

The room was dimly lit and Stone hastily searched for tools to light a fire. Fortunately, there was some dry wood and fire cotton left in the corner of the house. He took out a flint and quickly built a fire, which illuminated the whole room and allowed him to see the inside of this simple wooden house. The furnishings inside the house are very simple, the four walls of the house can be used to describe it, there is only a desk with a pen and ink, next to a pile of straw paper, actually piled up to form a mountain of paper, as well as some broken pots and pans. This house looks like the home of a poor scholar. Looking around, there is no medicine, and worried about the appearance of wild animals outside the house, if he ventured into the dark to look for herbs, I am afraid that there are other dangers, can only give up.

As the night wore on, Jade's condition worsened. The cold sweat trickling down her body made her thin clothes even wetter and colder, and her body convulsed from time to time. Stone reached out and touched her forehead, feeling the cold temperature. Knowing that her body temperature had dropped due to the loss of blood, Stone let out a cry of regret in his heart and carefully held her tightly in his arms, hoping to warm her with his own body heat. As if sensing the temperature, Jade's body gradually stabilised.

Stone had been tense all night, physically and mentally exhausted. Holding Jade in his arms, he slowly drifted off to sleep.
