Why Aren't You Leaving?

They headed toward the truck. As long as they got in, they would be safe.

The wolves had no way to breach the truck's defenses. Once it started, they could escape.

In an instant, the five of them began fighting the wolf pack.

They hacked fiercely in one direction without stopping.

But there were too many wolves. They surrounded the group and attacked from every direction. Although they were all strong, the situation was still terrifying.

Bearded Uncle kept smashing his shield forward. Every blow shattered a wolf's head. At a time like this, they would be fine as long as they could break through. Everyone unleashed their full strength.

Bearded Uncle twisted his body and blocked several wolves charging from the side, sending them flying.

Zhang Yang switched weapons, drawing a long blade from his waist and hacking fiercely. Whenever the blade flashed, a wolf died. Fortunately, the wolves' fur and defenses could not withstand their weapons. Otherwise, things would have been even more dangerous.

Bang! Bang!

Several wolves were slain, but even more rushed over.

From afar, the situation looked extremely dire. One careless mistake could cost them their lives.

"Damn it!"

Suddenly, a wolf bit Tao Min's arm. Her arm was protected by soft armor, so she was not injured, but the wolf kept tearing at her, trying to drag Tao Min out of the group. Tao Min's face turned pale. If she were dragged out, she would only die beneath the wolves' fangs.

Whoosh!

Chen Feng thrust his dagger into the wolf's neck, then kicked it away.

They fought together. More than ten minutes later, a huge pile of wolf corpses lay on the ground. Zhu Tao was also looking rather disheveled. She was the weakest among them, but she still had some fighting ability.

Among them, Bearded Uncle had the greatest Combat Power. His shield had blocked who knew how many wolf attacks.

At this moment, Chen Feng had also switched to a long blade. Tao Min had given it to him. Chen Feng had not expected such a brutal fight; he had only bought a dagger and silently cursed himself for being careless.

"There are too many wolves!"

Chen Feng had just cut down two wolves when he saw more and more wolves approaching from the distance.

"We rarely ran into situations like this before. Who knows what is going on with this wolf pack today? This doesn't seem to be deep in the mountains, yet they came out to the outskirts and happened to run into us. What rotten luck!"

Bearded Uncle was deeply worried. He was the captain, but he had never expected to enter the territory of a wolf pack.

Tao Min's expression was grave. She had a few wounds on her body. Though none were fatal, continuing like this would be dangerous for all of them.

Zhang Yang was panting heavily, and his arms had gone numb.

The pack had started with dozens of wolves, but now it seemed endless. There were already more than a hundred, with many still surrounding them.

Zhu Tao's face was pale. "Big Brother, what do we do? If this keeps up, how are we getting out today?"

"Don't panic. We'll definitely fight our way out!"

Bearded Uncle was anxious, but he could only comfort his team members.

Now, only Chen Feng was uninjured.

"Chen Feng, can you drive a truck?"

Bearded Uncle suddenly asked.

"Yes. I got my driver's license in my first year of high school, but I don't have a truck license!"

"That is enough! You still have strength left. The rest of us will get you out. You drive the truck over and ram these wolves aside, then we'll jump aboard and escape!"

At a time like this, this was all Bearded Uncle could do.

The truck was still over a hundred meters away, but breaking through the wolf pack and crossing that distance seemed terribly far.

"No!"

Chen Feng looked at the others' battered state. "If I leave, there will be one fewer person in the team. Even if I get into the truck, one of you might lose your life. How can I run away alone at a time like this?"

Chen Feng knew that if he broke through and got into the truck—

He would be safe. But what about Bearded Uncle and the others?

With one less person facing the wolf pack, the threat to them would increase severalfold. Besides, Chen Feng had already killed no fewer than twenty wolves in this battle. He was one of the strongest fighters in the team.

"Even if we die, at least we tried! Xiaofeng, stop talking. If you don't leave, we'll all die here. If you go, we'll still have a sliver of hope. Even if none of us make it in the end, at least you'll still be alive!"

Bearded Uncle said anxiously, "Are you leaving or not? If you don't go now, we won't be able to hold them off any longer. Get in the truck, now!"

Zhang Yang killed another wolf, then turned back with a solemn expression.

"Go. We had bad luck today and ran into a wolf pack. I'm afraid it will be difficult for all of us to leave alive. You're the youngest, and you're very strong. You have the best chance of escaping!"

Tao Min gave a bitter smile. "What a waste of all these wolf corpses. If we'd known we would run into a wolf pack, we should have brought more people. Xiaofeng, go. Remember to find someone to come back and collect these corpses, or I will have died for nothing!"

Tao Min shook her head. Beneath her pale expression was a trace of helplessness.

More and more gray figures filled their vision. Who knew how many wolves remained?

Chen Feng sighed. Seeing his teammates like this, he felt that continuing to put on an act would not be right.

He was at the early stage of the Essence Gathering Realm.

"None of us needs to leave. Kill these wolves. They're all money!"

Chen Feng spoke calmly, but a fierce fighting spirit flashed in his eyes.

"What? Xiaofeng, what are you thinking? If we could kill them, would we be telling you to leave?"

Zhang Yang glared at Chen Feng. "Why aren't you leaving?!"

Chen Feng froze when he saw Zhang Yang's bloodshot eyes.

"No need. Actually... I'm in the Essence Gathering Realm!" Chen Feng shook his head. He had no choice at a time like this.

"What?!"

Bearded Uncle and the others looked utterly incredulous. Then they saw Chen Feng suddenly burst forward with the speed of a beast, wielding a machete. He moved so fast that no one could react, much less the wolves.

Squelch! Squelch! Squelch!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

His figure flickered. With one slash, he severed the necks of three wolves. Blood gushed out as they fell to the ground, while Chen Feng had already vanished from where he stood. The next moment, he appeared to the left. Four or five flashes of blade light streaked through the air, killing wolf after wolf.

Bearded Uncle, Tao Min, Zhang Yang, and Zhu Tao were all dumbfounded.

"Xiaofeng is so fast!"

They seemed to see a shadow darting about as blade light flashed continuously through the air. Every flash took the lives of three Red-eyed Wolves.

The Red-eyed Wolves howled miserably. Just as they lunged to bite, blade light swept over them, and their necks went numb. All they could see was a young man holding a long blade, like a demon.

Blade rose, blade fell. Blade rose, blade fell.

Not a single wolf could last a second against him. Chen Feng's Combat Power was simply incomparable to what it had been before.

When wolves leaped through the air to attack, Chen Feng struck with his left fist, sending one flying four or five meters before it died on the spot.

"This strength... he really is in the Essence Gathering Realm..." Zhang Yang's expression changed drastically.

"How is that possible? He really is in the Essence Gathering Realm?" Tao Min was horrified.

Bearded Uncle stood there, dumbstruck. Sixteen years old... and in the Essence Gathering Realm?
