My Otherworldly Shura Field

Chapter 17 Trapped in Crisis

This is a stone forest, with all sorts of strangely shaped stone pillars standing tall, covered in moss, and piled with pebbles, exuding a sense of vicissitude.

At this moment, the stone forest was crowded with people. No, not only people, but also a pack of wolves. The carriage was surrounded by the wolves and had no choice but to move forward or backward.

Because behind the carriage was a cliff, or more accurately, a huge waterfall, hundreds of feet high, extremely dangerous.

The waterfall, like an angry silver dragon, plunges from mid-air and crashes into the heart of the pool, its roaring waters stirring up gusts of wind and spewing out a torrential downpour like hail.

Looking into the distance, the towering green mountains are set against the silvery backdrop, like a white ribbon hanging on the mountain, with clear water cascading down from the mountain.

The rushing water crashes against the sharp edges of the rocks, splashing up sprays of water, making the entire waterfall look like a screen woven from pearls.

Such a precipitous waterfall and cliff would surely cripple an ordinary person if they jumped in unprepared, even if they survived. And for someone who cannot swim, there is absolutely no chance of survival.

A pack of vicious wolves stared menacingly at the people around the carriage, sending chills down their spines. However, the few people protecting the carriage showed no fear, their will was firm, and their faces were resolute.

The people on both sides were not human. This could be discerned from their appearance; they had animal ears, animal tails, and sharp claws, which undoubtedly indicated that they were a race other than humans.

"Deno, you have some nerve, actually escaping from my Wolf Fang Clan with your Holy Maiden. Aren't you afraid of the Wolf King's wrath?" The wolf pack parted to make way, and a burly man stepped out from among them, his face contorted with anger.

The Wolf Fang Clan is a race that lives in the great forest. Similar to orcs, they can switch between human form and their original form. However, wolves of a certain level generally do not choose human form and remain in their original form.

Human form only limits their abilities; maintaining their original form is the best choice. Generally, only Wolf Fang Clan members above level 10 choose to remain in human form. However, there are dozens of figures present, meaning that more than a dozen Wolf Fang Clan members are above level 10, which is a considerable force.

Moreover, the wolf pack is numerous and spread throughout every corner of the forest; their presence is ubiquitous, making escape from them virtually impossible.

"Hahaha, you despicable Wolf Fang Clan, especially the Wolf Fang King, actually used negotiations as an excuse to deceive my Spirit Cat Clan. In reality, you wanted to annex my Spirit Cat Clan. Let me tell you, I, Denuo, would rather die than hand over the Holy Maiden, absolutely not!" Denuo laughed loudly, took a step forward, and his fighting spirit soared.

Deno was also very strong, but the spirit cats were a small race by nature. Even when they transformed into human form, their average height was less than 1.5 meters, and their strength was much weaker than that of the wolf-tooth race.

The Wolf Fang Clan had a large number of members, while the Spirit Cat Clan only had a handful. Moreover, every Spirit Cat Clan member was wounded, some lightly and some severely, and it was only after a fierce battle that they escaped from the Wolf Fang Clan.

It's quite a miracle that the Spirit Cat Clan could escape from the Wolf Fang Clan, who are dozens of times stronger than them. Now, with such a large disparity in numbers, they have no choice but to fight to the death.

Although the Spirit Cat Clan was weak, they were an intelligent race. They knew that if they were swallowed up by the Wolf Fang Clan, they would never have peace and would be slaves forever. They would rather die than accept such an end.

"Hehe, you Spirit Cat Clan really don't listen to reason, you'll only get what you deserve. What's wrong with submitting to my Wolf Fang Clan? As long as your Holy Maiden marries my Wolf King, you'll be treated well too." The Wolf Fang Clan member laughed, his eyes somewhat mocking, as if he were a cat playing with a mouse, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

"Ridiculous! Your Wolf Fang Clan has harmed countless members of my Spirit Cat Clan, especially the women. How many have been defiled by you? I wish I could tear your tendons out and skin you alive to avenge my people! We will never allow the Holy Maiden to be harmed by you!" Deqi said resolutely, his anger blazing, his killing intent soaring, his teeth almost grinding to powder, his eyes filled with tears of unfulfilled hatred for his people.

"What time is it for you to still pretend to be tough? You have no way out. If you obediently hand over your Holy Maiden now and let your Spirit Cat Clan members come to apologize, we might show leniency," the Wolf Fang Clan member said viciously, losing his patience.

"If you want me to hand over the Holy Maiden, then step over my dead body!" Deqi's will was firm; he was prepared to die.

"We will never hand over the Holy Maiden!"

"We will never hand over the Holy Maiden!"

"Never will!"

Seemingly inspired by Deqi, the remaining members of the Spirit Cat Clan roared and stepped forward to stand in a row with Deqi in front of the carriage.

There was no fear on the face of any of the Spirit Cat Clan members. For the future of their clan, they were resolute and willing to sacrifice themselves.

The Holy Maiden is the future and hope of the Spirit Cat Clan. We must not let her fall into the hands of the despicable Wolf Fang Clan. We must fight with all our might, even to the death!

"If that's the case, then I'm sorry, but everyone except the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Cat Clan will be killed without mercy!" the leader of the Wolf Fang Clan shouted.

"Awoo! Awoo..."

At the leader's command, the Wolf Fang Clan members surrounding them charged out like wild horses, roaring as they went.

"Saint Protector!"

Deqi shouted, grabbed his long sword, and charged out first, plunging into the wolf pack alone, while the remaining Spirit Cat Clan members guarded against the wolves that approached the carriage.

Deqi was stronger than the wolves of the Wolf Fang Clan who attacked them, and he killed a wolf with each swing of his sword.

In the blink of an eye, several wolves were reduced to cold corpses by his blade, their blood staining the earth.

Wolves are a bloodthirsty species, and blood only drives them crazier. One after another, the wolves pounced on him like madmen. Even though Deqi was not weak, he was powerless against the wolf pack's attack. His body was covered in scratches and blood.

However, he did not fall because of this. He was a warrior of the Spirit Cat Clan, with an unwavering will. He would either die in battle or return in triumph. This was the honor of a warrior.

As long as he hasn't fallen, he will absolutely not allow the Wolf Fang Clan to get a single step near the carriage, unless they step over his corpse.

"Ahhh!"

Just then, screams of agony came from behind. Turning around, they saw several tribesmen being pounced on and torn apart by wolves, struggling desperately.

They were already injured, so how could they withstand the wolves' attack? Under Deqi's watchful eyes, they were torn to pieces by the wolves in the blink of an eye, their blood splattering everywhere.

"No! Lieqi, Glee! I'll kill you all!" Deqi watched his companions being killed right before his eyes, his heart breaking with grief. His eyes turned bloodshot, and he dragged his long sword as he charged toward the direction the carriage was heading.

"Die! Die! Unforgivable!"
