"There are only supposed to be one or two bears in this Hunting Ground, right? How co there are wolves?"
"Are we going to die?"
"No... I want to go ho!"
Many people were terrified by the sudden appearance of the pack of wolves, so even started to cry.
Shen Ruyi’s legs went weak with fear, and she even tried to throw herself into Si Lin’s arms at one point.
Si Lin crossed his arms in front of his chest, blocking Shen Ruyi from jumping into his arms while hastily checking on Jiang Moxi.
He thought all girls would be as scared as Shen Ruyi, and Jiang Moxi would be no exception.
If Jiang Moxi was crying her eyes out right now, he wouldn’t mind lending her his embrace.
But Si Lin didn’t expect, when he turned around, to see Jiang Moxi climbing up the trunk nimbly like a monkey...
Si Lin: "..."
Others also noticed Jiang Moxi suddenly climbing the tree, especially Shen Ruyi who had been rejected by Si Lin.
Seeing Jiang Moxi easily leap up and sit on a tree branch, Shen Ruyi also wanted to try climbing up.
After all, it’s dangerous on the ground now, if they could climb the tree and wait for the wolves to leave after eating, they would be unhard.
But after several attempts, Shen Ruyi realized that the simple movents Jiang Moxi made were sothing she just couldn’t replicate, and she beca irate and accusatory towards Jiang Moxi above.
"Jiang Moxi, you are so selfish! At this ti, you just climb up the tree alone, are you trying to make us your scapegoats?"
Others also tried to emulate Jiang Moxi’s tree climbing, but they found climbing trees was not as easy as it seed.
Including the rich second generations, all pampered and spoiled, none of them could climb the tree.
So, in this life-and-death situation, their inner fear and helplessness turned into accusations towards Jiang Moxi.
"I can’t believe she looks so pretty but has a wicked heart, no wonder people say you can’t judge a book by its cover!"
"If I die here today, I won’t let go of Jiang Moxi even as a ghost!"
People under the tree were blaming Jiang Moxi, so girls even started throwing stones to vent their anger at her.
Facing everyone’s accusations, Jiang Moxi remained calm as usual.
"Now is not the ti to cry, everyone gather together. Wolves only attack solitary prey, stand back to back, don’t let these creatures have a chance to attack from behind."
While encouraging everyone, she also broke a piece of biscuit and chewed it.
The more people saw this, the more they felt that Jiang Moxi was using them as stepping stones to save her own life, otherwise, seeing the wolves about to attack them, how could she still eat biscuits while making airy remarks.
"Back to back can avoid a wolf attack? Then why did you climb the tree? Why don’t you co down and stand back to back with us!"
Shen Ruyi saw more and more wolves erging from the bushes, shouting more fiercely at Jiang Moxi.
So other girls echoed her, "Yeah, if you’re capable, co down and share our fate!"
But Jiang Moxi up in the tree started loading bullets into the hunting rifle, her nimble eyes scanning the wolves nearby, her voice cold, "I am responsible for hunting them down."
However, as soon as Jiang Moxi said this, it imdiately provoked mockery.
The first to mock Jiang Moxi was Shen Ruyi.
"Do you think you are Si Ruo with your sharpshooting? Why should we entrust our lives to soone like you who has never handled a gun before!"
Shen Ruyi has been particularly discontent with Jiang Moxi since she noticed Si Lin’s special treatnt towards Jiang Moxi.
She didn’t expect Jiang Moxi to disregard others in tis of danger, and to be so boastful, well then, don’t bla her for being rciless with her words.
When Shen Ruyi finished speaking, others also started criticizing Jiang Moxi.
"If you show off like this, what if it scares the wolves into attacking us indiscriminately?"
"Your life matters, but ours don’t?"
"I propose we use the shotgun to get rid of Jiang Moxi, and feed her to those wolves..."
When Si Lin heard soone still wanted to make a move on Jiang Moxi, he was about to deal with that person first when a gunshot stole everyone’s attention.
People hastily looked up at Jiang Moxi in the tree, and indeed, it was she who had fired, her shotgun’s muzzle still smoking.
So, they quickly followed the direction of Jiang Moxi’s gun and saw a wolf with a hole in its head in the bushes, motionless on the ground.
"Did she really hit it?"
"Jiang Moxi has quite so skills!"
Public opinion quickly shifted.
Seeing the image of the wolf being shot dead, Si Lin sharply looked up at Jiang Moxi.
The girl was still aiming.
A breeze blew her long hair, revealing her stunning profile.
Her expression looked extrely serene and calm!
Not at all like a novice, gloating over a catch, imrsed in the joy of victory.
Jiang Moxi seed as if this was routine for her, hitting her target in one shot as if it was as ordinary as a daily al.
Si Lin couldn’t help but recall the incident at the Peninsula Hotel.
That day, Jiang Moxi and her friends were dressed exactly like the rumored Dead Ghost and the Scavenger.
However, at that ti, Si Lin had outright dismissed the idea that Jiang Moxi was the Dead Ghost.
Even though he later learned from those dealing with the incident that Donald was shot in the forehead, with a Blood Plum Blossom blooming there, a killing thod identical to that of the infamous Dead Ghost.
But Si Lin still constantly denied this truth.
Because Jiang Moxi was still very young and female, how could she possibly be that murderous figure?
Yet at this mont, seeing Jiang Moxi shoot down the wolf with such composure and calm, he couldn’t help but doubt her identity.
Shen Ruyi was also surprised to see Jiang Moxi actually shoot down a wolf.
But she soon noticed that Si Lin’s expression when looking at Jiang Moxi was very unusual.
It seed like surprise, yet joy, disbelief, yet as if he had found a treasure...
Shen Ruyi even felt that if Si Lin continued staring at Jiang Moxi like this, her position as his official girlfriend might be endangered.
So, ignoring the excited cheer of the crowd, she taunted from beneath the tree where Jiang Moxi was, throwing cold water: "It’s just one wolf she hit, probably just luck, not like she can hit every ti."
But as soon as Shen Ruyi finished speaking, Jiang Moxi suddenly snapped, "Shut up! The pack is enraged now, they are going to attack. Everyone, back to back!"
Perhaps due to the stern tone of Jiang Moxi or the innate authority she emitted at that mont.
Or perhaps seeing the previously hidden pack of wolves now erging, baring their teeth and assuming an attack stance, they sensed the breath of the Grim Reaper nearing.
Everyone involuntarily followed Jiang Moxi’s command, including the previously taunting Shen Ruyi.
And Jiang Moxi, with everyone back to back, fired several shots at the rushing pack of wolves.
With everyone’s frightened and anxious expressions, the attacking pack fell one by one to the sound of gunshots.
With the crisis resolved, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and imdiately started discussing furiously.
"Oh my God, all headshots! This definitely can’t be explained by re luck!"
"Jiang Moxi’s shooting skills are incredible!"
"I think Jiang Moxi’s marksmanship might be better than Si Ruo’s. Shooting moving wolves is much harder than static targets!"
In the midst of everyone’s heated discussion, Shen Ruyi looked on as if she had seen a ghost, staring at Jiang Moxi.
