In the wee hours of the night, the amber-colored moon settled on its throne shining splendidly, though hidden amidst the clouds.
Under this serene moonlight, the multiple hunting parties in the forest were currently relaxing and napping in a very casual manner, each adequately confident in their abilities and skills.
In the midst of this silence, a low distant growl echoed in Tang Yue's ears.
Awoooo Awoooo Awoooo
Soon this was followed by a series of rather ferocious howling noises.
Tang Yue instantly stiffened.
She was only superficially resting and so she imdiately stood up straight, her hands clutching the sword tightly and her eyes vigilantly fixated on the cave entrance.
She could distinctly feel the familiar howls moving closer and closer to her, fast approaching her location.
"Damn it! I knew sothing felt fishy when the cave entrance was disturbed." She hissed silently.
And before she could even decide if she wanted to fight or flee, several pairs of bright red eyes appeared right outside the cave.
The danger had already arrived at her doorstep!
The goblins Gale and Ginko as well attentively observed the scene.
They could clearly observe everything happening in the vicinity of the cave from their hideout.
The wolves were so ferocious that they could literally sll the bloodlust in the air.
"She is definitely done for now." Gale solemnly shook his head.
Ginko also rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"It's better this way. Whatever happens now, it's completely unrelated to us."
The two goblins then impassively waited for the inevitable brutal massacre that was about to unfold in front of them.
Tang Yue shuddered.
She didn't dare to count the number of eyeballs staring at her right this instant.
She was completely terrified. She had never faced anything like this before.
An entire horde of bristle wolves was snarling at her, ready to pounce and shred her apart.
In the night ti, under the shadows of the luscious thicket, Tang Yue couldn't even see their figures clearly.
She could only vaguely sense their outlines based on the body's mana circulation or rather their mana signature.
And this scared her more!
Because, standing behind the dozen or so common grade bristle wolves were two wind woven wolves!
How did she know? She could clearly see their mana cores!!
Unlike the common grade bristle wolves, wind woven wolves were low grade intelligent beasts that were capable of forming beast cores.
The low-grade Croco beasts she had faced earlier were also capable of forming beast cores.
Luckily for Tang Yue, they hadn't yet attained that stage.
But, the wind woven wolves snarling in front of her sure did!
The small crystal shaped pearl like beads were unmistakably sparkling in the pitch black darkness.
Tang Yue trembled. She clutched her sword tightly. Her mind raced to assess the situation she was in.
Was the sword in her hands enough to get her out of this predicant?
No!
She didn't think twice and quickly summoned out Little Plum.
But even then
The chances of her escaping this situation were utterly bleak and impossible. She was painfully aware of it.
And right at this crucial mont, a familiar nasally voice sounded in her mind.
[Cough. Cough. Don't forget the system's shop feature! I would rather not have you die here, dumb little snake.]
Tang Yue grimaced.
Of course, she rembered the shop feature and that it contained the item necessary for her survival from this disaster.
But the price was too steep!
That shop feature was her ultimate trump card.
She absolutely did not want to use it unless it ant life or death.
However, wasn't she in a life or death situation right now?
Tang Yue tightened her grasp on the sword in her hands.
Technically, she should be sweating blood and anxiously panicking right about now.
But she found herself becoming calr and calr.
Maybe because of the battle she just endured a few hours back, her mind felt sowhat eerily stable.
"Ok. Let do this." Tang Yue bit her lips.
She almost decided to use the Shop feature and ntally willed it, when the first wolf entered the cave.
Suddenly an idea struck her brain and her erald eyes twinkled brilliantly.
Only one bristle wolf had entered the cave!
That's right!
No matter how many wolves surrounded the cave entrance, the thickets were still sturdy enough to hold out for a while.
They could only enter one by one!
Outside the cave, she was vastly outnumbered and outmatched. But within the cave
Tang Yue grinned. This sudden realization had given her just the small advantage that she needed.
And now it was ti to massacre!
Tang Yue did not hesitate any longer and hurriedly stumbled forward, slashing at the common grade bristle wolf that had entered with the full force she could muster.
CLANG
Her overwhelmingly strong mid-grade sword clashed at the incoming wolf, which was utterly no match for the sharp weapon.
Little Plum excitedly buzzed near Tang Yue but didn't dare intervene without hearing her command.
Blood spurted everywhere.
The wolf was heavily wounded and whined in pain.
Its bloodshot eyes angrily glared at Tang Yue and the animal tried to pounce on her again, with whatever strength it had left.
But alas, the snake princess was quicker and swiftly finished the wounded beast with a second slash.
Ding. 1 Wild Bristle Wolf killed
Ding. 1 Experience point rewarded
The rest of the wolves instantly howled loudly. They sounded angrier and angrier.
The wolves furiously swiped their sharp claws on the ss blocking the cave.
They all wanted to barge in and wreak havoc, but unfortunately, they couldn't.
Even before the first wolf fell down on the ground, its body limp, the next one pushed the beast down and leaped inside.
Tang Yue smiled and positioned herself, completely prepared for the next challenge in front of her.
The quicker they ca in the better for her!
She needed to finish this fight soon before the thicket and the dense layers of creepers and climbers around the cave gave away
