"Damn it, what's going on?"

Seeing the hillside covered in wolves, Lin Feng gasped.

Could it be that these creatures also came to welcome me, the so-called "Wolf King"? That's impossible!

Everyone knew that wolves were among the best pack hunters in the world. One or two wolves weren't scary, but hundreds of them? Their collective attack power was comparable to a ferocious army!

Seeing such a spectacular, even terrifying scene, even the usually calm Ye Lin pursed her lips and frowned.

"Lin Feng, what should we do now?" Ye Lin asked anxiously.

They couldn't afford to provoke these wild wolves. If they angered them, the two of them would have virtually no chance of escape. If these ferocious wolves caught them, they would be torn apart until not even a bone remained.

"Let's back away quietly," Lin Feng whispered, breathing softly. "Move gently, and whatever you do, don't attract their attention. Otherwise, we'll both be their dinner tonight."

After he spoke, they exchanged a look in the hazy gloom of the night and then slowly began to retreat. The atmosphere grew tense, and the forest was eerily quiet.

They both moved very slowly, terrified that any sudden movement would attract the attention of the keen-sensed wolves.

HOWL!

Just then, for some reason, the wolf pack on the hillside suddenly let out a piercing cry, making Lin Feng, who was retreating, jump, his heart pounding in his chest.

Fortunately, they didn't seem to have attracted the wolf pack's attention.

Just as they were about to get clear, Ye Lin, while backing up, suddenly felt something soft under her foot. She glanced down and saw—a giant toad!

"AH!" Ye Lin shrieked involuntarily, jumping up with goosebumps all over her skin, completely forgetting about the hundreds of hungry wolves nearby!

Damn it… Lin Feng felt a wave of helplessness wash over him. This Miss Ye is a walking disaster! If she wants to die, fine, but don't drag me down with her!

"Lin Feng, I'm sorry! I-I stepped on a toad!" Ye Lin stammered, her delicate body still trembling. Clearly, the toad had left a deep psychological scar on her.

"Shhh!" Lin Feng hissed, gesturing for silence, but he couldn't stop Ye Lin from speaking.

However, by the time Ye Lin finished speaking, she had also come to her senses. Her gaze shot to the distant hillside. Over there, countless pairs of gleaming golden wolf eyes had moved!

"What are you standing there gawking for?" Lin Feng grew frantic. "You want to be a snack for these wolves? Let's go!" Seeing Ye Lin staring blankly, he grabbed her hand and pulled her into a run.

HOWL!

Behind them, a series of howls erupted from the wolf pack. Then, the wolves, having apparently spotted the two, began to move slowly in their direction.

The pair ran faster and faster. The wolf pack, about a hundred meters behind, also gradually picked up speed, chasing after them!

"Lin Feng, I'm so sorry…" Ye Lin said guiltily as they ran.

"This is no time for apologies! They're useless now!" Lin Feng shouted while running, glancing back. When he saw hundreds of glowing wolf eyes bobbing through the forest behind them, his blood ran cold. "Damn it! The wolves have spotted us and are chasing! We need to find a way to escape, quickly!"

With that, they both sped up considerably.

However, they had been trekking through the forest on foot for the better part of the day, and both were carrying backpacks. How could they possibly outrun ferocious wild wolves?

The distance between them and the wolf pack was shrinking rapidly.

Damn it, no way! Am I really going to be the wolves' dinner tonight? Please, no… Lin Feng thought about his possible demise. He had never imagined that one day he would be torn apart, dismembered, and eaten by wild wolves. The very thought made him shudder with revulsion.

Closer and closer… Fifty meters… Ten meters…

Five meters! The massive wild wolf at the head of the pack was now a mere five meters away from them!

"Oh no, Lin Feng! There's a pond up ahead! We're trapped…" Ye Lin suddenly cried out in despair.

"What do you mean, 'trapped'? Heaven never seals off all exits, you know?" Lin Feng burst out laughing when he saw a large pond a dozen or so meters ahead, a stark contrast to the despondent Ye Lin. "I told you Lady Luck must love me! Haha, I'm not going to die after all!"

"Ye Lin, don't overthink it! Let's speed up and jump straight into the pond! Swim far out! Those wild wolves probably won't follow us into the water!" Lin Feng exclaimed, elated.

As long as they jumped into the pond before the wild wolves caught up, they would be safe!

At this critical moment, both of them accelerated with all their might. When they were just a meter from the pond, Lin Feng saw Ye Lin hesitate. Greatly alarmed, he glanced back—the foremost wild wolf was practically snapping at his rear!

"Don't hesitate! Jump!" In his urgency, Lin Feng fiercely grabbed Ye Lin's hand and, using the momentum, pulled her along as they both leaped into the pond.

HOWL! HOWL!

The wild wolves behind them had caught up, so close they could even smell Lin Feng. But they were just a step too late to bite him. The massive wild wolf, which looked like the Wolf King, lunged forward two steps, its front paws splashing into the pond. However, it quickly recoiled, roaring in fury at the water!

Behind them, the air was instantly filled with continuous, terrifying wolf howls!

Having leaped three or four meters out into the pond, Lin Feng finally struggled to break the surface, gasping for breath.

"Damn, this is tougher than I thought…"

Lin Feng was originally a good swimmer. However, at this moment, he was burdened by a large backpack containing hundreds of thousands in cash and weighing dozens of pounds. Carrying such a heavy weight, the most he could do was try his best not to sink; swimming quickly felt incredibly difficult.

SPLASH, SPLASH, SPLASH…

Not far off, he heard the sound of someone thrashing in the water.

"Hey, Ye Lin, are you alright?" Lin Feng called out tentatively, his voice barely audible over the howls of the wolves on the shore.

However, there was no reply from Ye Lin from the pond.

Damn! Such a capable girl, and she's a landlubber who can't swim? Such a thought flashed through Lin Feng's mind. He called Ye Lin's name again, but still heard no answer.

This is bad! Lin Feng thought grimly. This great beauty, Ye Lin, really can't swim!

He listened intently and saw ripples still spreading less than two meters away from him. He instantly confirmed that Ye Lin was there; she had just sunk!

Without a second thought, Lin Feng unhesitatingly shrugged off the backpack, which weighed dozens of pounds. He no longer cared how much cash was inside. It had to be abandoned now; otherwise, carrying such a heavy load, not only would he be unable to save her, but he would likely lose his own life as well!
