However, human experts were in the majority after all. Over time, it was inevitable that some wild wolves would be knocked down by the crowd's attacks. However, following the wolf pack's counterattack, the crowd also gradually started to have casualties.
For a moment, the battle between the two races became even more intense. However, at a certain moment, the sturdy young man in the crowd caught a glimpse of a black-robed, pale-faced, unconscious human in the underbrush.
Just at that moment, a wild wolf retreated in the direction of the black-robed human. If its huge wolf claws were to trample on that person's body, it would probably leave a huge hole in his body in an instant.
Ah Lie was slightly startled in his heart. After all, they were all humans. Relatively speaking, he, who was more warm-hearted, could not bear to see this unfamiliar black-robed man die under the feet of the wild wolf.
The sturdy young man flashed and already arrived in front of the unconscious man's head. At the same time that the wolf claws descended, he quickly dragged the black-robed man's body back a certain distance. Only then was he able to dodge this dangerous attack.
However, in the next moment, just as the sturdy young man was about to gasp for breath, the head wolf of the wild wolf pack suddenly appeared behind him. Its sharp wolf claws extended and fiercely slashed through the air, leaving behind a vacuum. In the blink of an eye, it had already appeared above the sturdy young man's head.
At the same time, the faces of some of the leaders in the crowd suddenly changed. In such a short distance, they simply did not have enough time to make a rescue. They could only stare blankly as the sturdy young man died under the wolf claws. At that moment, even the sturdy young man himself felt despair at the bottom of his heart.
How could he have thought that he, who was only trying to save someone out of kindness, would instead bring himself and the black-robed man into the abyss of death?
However, in the instant that the wolf claws were about to descend, a sharp gaze, like an invisible arrow, instantly pierced through the wolf king's head.
Even though it did not use any power or even cause spatial fluctuations, the wild wolf king instantly lost all of its life force.
The sharp wolf claws that were aimed at the burly young man fell to the ground uncontrollably. The moment its huge body fell to the ground, a thick cloud of dust was kicked up.
Immediately after, the surrounding wolf pack was also shocked by this sudden change. Following the death of the Wolf King, the wolf pack became even crazier. Without the slightest bit of order, each of them crazily ran towards the outside of the crowd. Unfortunately, without the slightest bit of order, the wolf pack was quickly surrounded once again. Everyone went up together and dozens of huge Wild Wolves fell down one by one. In only a short period of time, dozens of Wild Wolves were completely suppressed by the people present. Half of them had already died.
"Enough. Leave some leeway for everything. Twenty wild wolves. Even if we take out half, the remaining ten will be enough for our own people. We don't need to kill that many."
Just as everyone was preparing to take action and kill the remaining dozens of Wild Wolves, the middle-aged man in the lead spoke out and stopped them. Hearing this, everyone also obeyed their respective orders.
Although they acted recklessly and were usually boorish, they were completely convinced by this person's words.
Seeing everyone stop with his own eyes, the middle-aged man turned his gaze towards the burly young man. At this moment, the latter's entire body was covered in cold sweat as he supported the black-robed young man who had already woken up in his embrace.
And this black-robed young man was naturally Xiao Yan without a doubt.
"Hmph. You brat, you almost died under the Wolf King's claws just now. Do you know that?!"
Before the person arrived, a low reprimanding voice had already sounded out. Following that, the burly young man's face also revealed a hint of shame.
"Sorry, Uncle Feng Lun. I'll be careful next time …"
The burly young man's face was red as he deeply lowered his head and said with an extremely soft voice.
"Hmph. How many times have you said these words to me? Every time, you say you'll be careful. Every time, you only cause trouble for others. Someone saved you before, and this time, you were lucky, so you survived. Then in the future, if you're alone outside, who will save you?!"
"But he …"
"Enough. You don't need to say anymore. I don't want to hear your excuses. As for him …"
When he looked at Xiao Yan again, the middle-aged man couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows. In his mind, he recalled the Wolf King's seemingly dead state a moment ago.
Originally, that claw would have solidly landed on the bodies of the two young men in front of him. However, at that crucial moment, the Wolf King suddenly died. How could there be such a coincidence in this world? Within their own group, there was absolutely no one who had strength strong enough to easily kill the Wolf King. Unless it was the black-robed young man with a pale complexion standing in front of him.
However, this young man clearly had the appearance of a heavily injured person. Moreover, based on the latter's age, it was probably impossible for him to possess that kind of strength.
Was he thinking too much?
The middle-aged man inwardly shook his head in his heart. He didn't say anything else and only coldly snorted to express his dissatisfaction. He then returned to the front of the group and instructed everyone to put away the required wild wolf corpses. After that, the group of people quickly dashed towards the direction they came from, leaving behind a group of temporarily trapped wild wolves.
Ah Lie carried the frail body of Xiao Yan on his back and followed at the very back of the group. The people in front of him had long since become accustomed to his way of doing things.
Ah Lie was a person who was overly zealous. He had saved too many people, but generally speaking, the majority of people would have a skeptical attitude towards his kind help. There were even quite a few people who repaid kindness with enmity. However, Ah Lie wasn't affected in the slightest.
Using Ah Lie's words, he saved those people. As long as they didn't kill him, what could they possibly take from him? Even if they were gifted to him, he wouldn't necessarily want a destitute brat. As for Ah Lie's reason for saving people, it was because he hoped that he could become a hero, a powerhouse.
A hero was definitely a powerhouse, but a powerhouse wasn't necessarily a hero.
That was what Ah Lie had always been telling himself.
Unfortunately, his heart made him a powerful expert, but his cultivation level …
Up until now, he was only a three-star Half Martial Emperor …
With that kind of strength, he couldn't even be considered as a mainstay in their group, let alone a hero.
"Sigh …"
Following at the very back of the group, Ah Lie deeply sighed in his heart. His body moved and even more things surged out from his body. Traces of sweat appeared on his forehead as he strenuously followed the group in front of him.
At the same time, Xiao Yan, who was on his back, opened his pitch-black eyes. Although there was a bit of exhaustion on his face, his cultivation and strength were currently slowly recovering.
Looking at the group in front of him, then glancing at the sturdy young man who was currently carrying him, the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth revealed a grateful smile.
