Escape Training (II)

Roar, roar, roar...

After waiting nearly ten minutes, they heard countless furious howls. The two humans and the cat were startled, wondering where so many ferocious beasts had come from.

"Hehe, the attack is about to begin." Grandpa Nick suddenly appeared beside them and explained, "I made those beasts out of dirt. Although they're made of mud, I gave them life, and they have all the characteristics of wild beasts."

"So don't underestimate them. If they bite you, your bones will break, and if they bite your neck, you'll still die."

"We understand, Grandpa Nick. You don't need to say any more," Fanxin said.

With that, he led Ren Fang deeper into the forest, not daring to stop. He had sensed a deadly threat.

His ability to sense danger was strong. As long as something posed a threat to him, he could sense it. What he sensed this time was very bad.

"Quick, quick, get somewhere the trees are dense!" Fanxin shouted.

On open ground, neither of them could outrun those beasts. They were hunters, experts at this sort of thing. Their only option was to run into a dense part of the woods, where the beasts would have trouble using their advantage.

As soon as they left, hundreds of earth-yellow giant wolves came racing from the distance, chasing after Fanxin and Ren Fang.

Their eyes were blood-red, and their fangs were fearsome. They looked so terrifying that a single graze seemed enough to take off an arm or a leg.

They charged recklessly forward, destroying everything that stood in their way. They were like the destroyers of legend.

They were fast, and before long, they were close behind Fanxin. Some of the giant wolves were impatient and pounced straight at him, ready to seize him.

"Damn, they're that fierce? Is Grandpa Nick trying to kill us?"

Seeing a giant wolf leap to a spot not far in front of him, Fanxin widened his eyes in disbelief. The giant wolves' impact was terrifying. The trees were smashed apart and reduced to powder, unable to slow them in the slightest.

And that was just one giant wolf. If all of them charged over, running into the forest would be like digging their own graves.

The giant wolves weren't hindered at all here, but the dense trees kept Fanxin and Ren Fang from picking up speed! At this rate, the giant wolves would catch them.

"Bad move, bad move. Little Black, go first and hold them off. I'll take Ren Fang out of the forest right away," Fanxin said to the Little Black Cat.

The Little Black Cat nodded and immediately transformed into a robot, flying through the air while firing shells at the giant wolves.

The attack drew the attention of some of the wolves, and dozens began surrounding and attacking Little Black. It was very difficult for them to hurt Little Black, though, since Little Black's small body made it easy to dodge! More importantly, Little Black could fly high into the air, where the giant wolves could do nothing.

However, Little Black didn't leave, instead causing trouble among the pack to buy Fanxin and Ren Fang time.

"Hurry up! I can't hold them off much longer," Little Black warned.

Little Black was small and could only hinder the giant wolves. Killing them would take some effort. Even then, Little Black could only kill one at a time, and killing all those dozens of giant wolves was impossible.

"Got it," Fanxin answered with a nod.

Without another word, he pulled Ren Fang along and rushed with all his might toward the edge of the forest. Behind them, the giant wolves gave furious chase.

Fanxin didn't look back, but from the sounds behind him, he knew the giant wolves were getting closer and closer. He had to hurry.

He and Ren Fang raced toward the edge of the woods.

But just as they were about to leave the woods, Fanxin suddenly stopped.

Ren Fang glanced behind them and asked in confusion, "Why did you stop? The giant wolves behind us have already caught up." She was anxious. The giant wolves were fast, and they would reach them in no time.

"Hehe, because there are giant wolves blocking the way ahead too. We have nowhere to run," Fanxin said with a bitter laugh. "Is Grandpa Nick trying to play us to death?"

"Ah, what are we going to do?" Ren Fang grew anxious at once, unsure what to do.

"What else can we do? Fight, of course." Fanxin gave a bitter laugh. Giant wolves were surrounding them now, and no matter where they ran, they couldn't shake them off.

"Mm, then let's fight!" Ren Fang nodded slightly and thought for a moment before agreeing. She knew there was no other way now.

Fanxin nodded, then shouted, "Little Black, get over here now! Giant wolves have blocked our way, and we're getting ready to fight them!"

He called the Little Black Cat over because Ren Fang and Little Black were a team, and they would be more effective fighting together.

His voice was loud enough for every creature in the forest to hear. Naturally, the Little Black Cat heard him too.

As soon as Little Black heard him, without another word, Little Black shook off the troublesome giant wolves and headed straight for Fanxin. Moving extremely fast, Little Black soon flew over Fanxin's head, then descended vertically and landed on Ren Fang's shoulder.

"Damn, just how many giant wolves did that old man make? There were fifty on my side, and there are another sixty here. This is a sign he's going to play us to death," the Little Black Cat grumbled after looking around.

"Isn't it? But what can we do? We accepted this training ourselves, so we can only grit our teeth and get on with it." Fanxin gave a bitter laugh. He had thought Grandpa Nick would be a little gentler, but now it seemed he wasn't gentle at all. At this rate, he was going to squeeze every bit of potential out of them.

"Sigh, then let's fight." Little Black nodded helplessly.

"All right, let's divide the work. You two find a way to hold off those fifty over there, and I'll deal with the sixty on this side. Understood?" Fanxin shouted.

"No problem," Ren Fang said with a nod.

"No problem," the Little Black Cat said, waving a tiny fist.

"Then let's move!" Fanxin nodded, then took out his weapon, a spear. Without hesitating any longer, he charged forward. When he reached the giant wolves, he launched a fierce attack on them.

The giant wolves were no pushovers either, and they began to fight back.

They either bit at him or clawed at him, every move vicious, as though they wouldn't stop until they had torn him apart.

On Ren Fang's side, the fight had begun too.

Ren Fang charged into the pack and began shooting the giant wolves with her gun. Little Black didn't fall behind, launching a fierce attack on them as well.

The giant wolves began fighting back too. They surrounded Ren Fang and attacked together, seemingly intent on tearing her apart.

Although Ren Fang looked delicate and frail, she wasn't easily frightened. She immediately used the ability Grandpa Nick had given her to create a bowl-shaped barrier, enclosing herself and the Little Black Cat.

Of course, they didn't just hide inside. She made several openings in it and stuck her gun barrel through them to shoot at the giant wolves.

To their immense frustration, however, the bullets didn't seem to do the giant wolves much harm. They attacked repeatedly for a long time without killing a single one.

"At this rate, we're in trouble. I'm almost out of ammunition," the Little Black Cat said anxiously.

Although the bullets were formed from demonic power, they weren't inexhaustible. They depended on Little Black's stamina. Once too much stamina had been used up, Little Black would no longer be able to make ammunition.

Then Little Black's weapons would be useless. Without a supply of bullets, they would be nothing but decorations.

"I'm almost out of ammunition too. What are we going to do now?" Ren Fang was anxious as well. It was the first time she had encountered such troublesome giant wolves.

"Bullets are no use against them. We have to think of something else," the Little Black Cat said.

"Mm, but what can we do?" Ren Fang asked with a nod.

"How should I know? Let's start trying things. If we try them one by one, we should be able to find a way to deal with them. That old man may be unreliable, but he wouldn't leave us with nothing at all," the Little Black Cat said helplessly. If Little Black had known, there would have been no need to wait until now.

"True. Then let's do it!" Ren Fang nodded, then took advantage of a moment when the giant wolves weren't paying attention to remove the barrier. As soon as it vanished, she and Little Black ran out of the pack.

Once outside, they kept their guard up, wary of the giant wolves suddenly charging over and launching a fierce attack on them.

"Fanxin, have you found a way to deal with them? Bullets are no use against them at all," Little Black asked, glancing at him. Little Black had no ideas at all, and if Fanxin couldn't find a way either, they would be in trouble.

"What? Bullets have no effect on them?" Fanxin froze when he heard that and shouted, "Are you sure they have no effect at all?"

Fanxin was fighting the giant wolves, repeatedly attacking their vital points with his spear. He was extremely frustrated, though, because their bodies were as hard as iron, and his spear couldn't pierce them. He had thought bullets would work against them.

But he hadn't expected even bullets to have no effect. If that was really the case, they had no way to deal with the wolves at all!

"Absolutely sure," Little Black said.

"Damn it, Grandpa Nick really is going to play us to death." When Fanxin heard that, he stopped fighting the giant wolves. His attacks were useless against them, and continuing to fight them would only waste his strength.

He jumped out of the pack and came to Ren Fang's side.

They stood back to back, watching the giant wolves warily.

"What should we do?" Ren Fang asked. They were surrounded by giant wolves, and if they couldn't think of a way out, the consequences would be dangerous.
