Chapter 8 Repaying the favor
The three exchanged glances briefly, and each saw fear and despair in the other's eyes.
Even wild beasts have their limits. Soon, the three wolves couldn't hold back any longer. They moved in unison, gradually closing in and slowly tightening their encirclement.
A bitter smile played on Liu Shan's lips; he feared he would be the fastest to die among all the transmigrators.
Although it's somewhat frustrating, everyone must die eventually.
When it comes to death, one should at least die with dignity.
Liu Shan spread his arms to try to protect Lin Nanjia and Wei Xiuying, even though he knew he couldn't protect the two women at all, he still did it.
While Lin Nanjia and Wei Xiuying were crying out of fear, they were also warmed by Liu Shan's actions.
Soon, the three wolves began to howl in unison.
All three knew that this foreshadowed the wolf's imminent attack.
Just at this critical moment, two figures suddenly descended from the sky and stood in front of them.
Surprisingly, two more girls showed up!
Liu Shan felt that the two people in front of him looked somewhat familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember who they were.
The two girls were highly skilled and daring. To Liu Shan's utter astonishment, they effortlessly and bare-handedly crippled the three vicious wolves in front of them.
Before he could react, the slightly spirited girl clasped her hands in a fist salute to Liu Shan and said, "My benefactor, I never thought we would have the honor of meeting again."
My benefactor? Goodbye?
Yeah, we almost said goodbye.
Wait, these two unparalleled masters are actually calling him their benefactor?
"My benefactor, what do you think we should do with these three beasts?" the spirited young woman asked again.
Liu Shan quickly came to his senses and said, "To prevent them from harming people again, let's kill them."
"Jiang Ruolan obeys."
It turned out that the spirited young woman was named Jiang Ruolan, and the younger girl next to her followed suit, clasping her hands in a respectful gesture and saying, "Xiao Yue obeys."
Liu Shanyue found Xiao Yueyue increasingly familiar.
"Snapped!"
He slapped his thigh, suddenly realizing—
This is the rare occasion when he generously treated the two girls to meat wontons.
After swiftly and cleanly killing the wolf, Jiang Ruolan clasped her hands in a fist and said, "Our master taught us from a young age that we must repay kindness. My benefactor, you have been frightened."
Xiao Yue also clasped her hands in greeting.
Liu Shan was not a pedantic person. Moreover, at this critical juncture, instead of agonizing over whether two bowls of meat wontons were worth the two women saving him, he should treat them with sincerity and kindness.
After all, having two peerless masters protecting him at this moment made him feel incredibly safe.
He clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and said gratefully, "Thank you both for your help."
Jiang Ruolan and Xiao Yue bowed in return, and seeing that Liu Shan's clothes were soaked in blood, they quickly took out their secret wound medicine to help him treat his wounds.
But by this time, some time had passed since Li Wanqing disappeared, and Liu Shan had no intention of delaying any longer.
He quickly bowed and pleaded, "Ladies, my wife is being chased by a tiger and is in grave danger. Would you two be willing to come and rescue her?"
“Let’s go, Senior Sister, let’s go.” Before Jiang Ruolan could speak, Xiao Yue eagerly agreed.
Since it was her benefactor's request, Jiang Ruolan naturally wouldn't refuse, and besides, she really didn't take those two mere worms seriously.
"Please show us the way quickly, my junior sister and I will go to rescue them immediately."
Liu Shan had witnessed the two women's skills; killing a tiger would be no problem for them.
"Quick, this way."
At the same time, Jiang Ruolan said, "My benefactor, I apologize for my rudeness," and then she lifted Liu Shan up and began to fly forward.
Without waiting for a reply, Xiao Yue followed suit, lifting one woman with each arm and running forward with her feet barely touching the ground, shouting, "It's dangerous here, let's go together to rescue them!"
Lin Nanjia and Wei Xiuying finally recovered a bit of their strength from the extreme fear they had just experienced. They nodded repeatedly, knowing that they absolutely could not linger any longer in that place filled with the corpses of wolves.
When Liu Shan found Li Wanqing, she, Zhao Tingxiao, Zhang Tienan, and others were being trapped by two tigers on an old tree.
The old tree wasn't tall, but it was thick enough. At this moment, Li Wanqing and the others were climbing the tree. They didn't have any suitable weapons, but each of them held a thick branch in their hand and kept whipping the tiger that wanted to climb the tree.
Soon, Li Wanqing and the others saw Liu Shan, Lin Nanjia and others who had arrived, including two unfamiliar girls.
She could tell that Liu Shan wanted to save her, but she also knew that, to be honest, with Liu Shan's abilities, he wouldn't even be able to withstand a single swipe from a tiger.
Not to mention Lin Nanjia and Wei Xiuying, her two best friends are probably only good enough to fill a tiger's teeth.
Li Wanqing waved her arms, trying to tell Liu Shan not to come over and to go back and get reinforcements.
However, this fool was still inching forward little by little.
Enraged, Li Wanqing shouted, "Don't come any closer! Run! Go get reinforcements!"
Liu Shan waved his hand forcefully and replied, "The reinforcements are here!"
Zhao Tingxiao was amused. None of the martial arts experts among them were a match for a fierce tiger. Where did Liu Shan get his confidence?
Is he so desperate to be a hero and save the damsel in distress?
Don't you think he's got the guts?
However, the clever Zhao Tingxiao did not stop Liu Shan from approaching. He just looked at Liu Shan with the eyes of someone looking at a fool, thinking that it would be best if Liu Shan could lure away a tiger, which would greatly increase his chances of survival.
Zhang Tienan wasn't that cunning; he simply looked down on Liu Shan. He waved his hand and shouted, "Get out! Get out now! Go get reinforcements!"
Liu Shan looked at Li Wanqing and said earnestly, "Don't be afraid! I'm coming to save you!"
Li Wanqing felt a little touched, but she was mostly furious. Why was this idiot so stubborn and unable to understand? Why did he have to rush over to his death?
At this moment, the two tigers noticed Liu Shan and his group. After glancing at them a few times, one of them turned its attention back to the group in the tree.
However, another tiger seemed more interested in Liu Shan and his group, and slowly approached.
When Zhao Tingxiao saw that one of the tigers had been lured away, a smile spread across his face.
At this moment, Jiang Ruolan casually drew her sword from her waist and said calmly, "Yue'er, get ready."
Upon receiving the order, Xiao Yue rolled up her sleeves, looking ready to get down to business.
At this moment, Liu Shan noticed a thick hemp rope not far away, and an idea immediately came to him.
He looked at Jiang Ruolan and said softly, "No rush, cover me first."
In just a few breaths, a rope was strung between the two trees, and a very simple trap was set up.
Then, Liu Shan turned and ran away, exposing his back and the back of his neck to the tiger.
In fact, when encountering a tiger in the wild, turning around and running away is an extremely dangerous thing, because running away itself will trigger the tiger's hunting instinct, and it will regard the fleeing person as prey and attack quickly.
Tigers have extremely strong short-range bursts of power, and their chances of escaping are practically zero.
