Saying he was not afraid would naturally have been a lie.

But Lin Xuan could not just stand by and watch the Giant Panda and her cub be killed and eaten as food by these five wolves!

After spending so long with the Giant Panda family, it would have been a lie to say he felt nothing for them.

So when he saw the Giant Panda family in danger, Lin Xuan had already made up his mind to save them.

"Awooo!!"

Just then, Lin Xuan heard the signal for the wolf pack to attack.

His expression changed. Ignoring Xiao Qing coiled around his arm, he charged toward the Giant Panda family without hesitation.

As he ran, he pulled a dagger from his waist.

He had not brought any other sharp weapons on this trip up the mountain. He could only rely on this small dagger.

(This is bad. Judging from the wolves' howls, they're about to attack, aren't they?)

(The streamer only has a small dagger. Isn't he just throwing his life away?)

As Lin Xuan drew closer, he saw that the wolf pack was already preparing to attack the Giant Panda family.

Panda Mother's face also showed a trace of unease, yet she still used her body to shield Panda Cub.

"Stop!"

Lin Xuan rushed out and shouted at the five wolves.

Hearing Lin Xuan's shout, the wolves all stopped. Then, five pairs of eyes stared straight at him.

With the wolf pack's eyes fixed on him, Lin Xuan felt his heartbeat accelerate. He took a deep breath and tried his best not to let fear show on his face.

The Wolf King looked at Lin Xuan, then at Panda Mother, before letting out a howl at the pack.

The next moment, four wolves split off. Two went after Lin Xuan, while the other two went after Panda Mother.

(Look at those wolves' eyes. They look so terrifying!)

(Yeah. Even though there are only five wolves in this pack, the streamer is alone. Running into a wolf pack in the wild is hard to deal with!)

(But why is there a wolf pack in this forest?)

(I used to hear the older generation talk about how ferocious wolves were. Seeing them for real today, this wolf pack is truly terrifying!)

(Mainly because wolf packs have been protected in recent years, so their numbers have grown quite a bit compared to before.)

(Unlike back then, when people still hunted and could kill wolf packs they encountered. But now, few people hunt anymore, and with wolves being protected, their numbers have increased.)

(Why are you discussing that? The most important thing right now is worrying about the streamer's safety!)

"It seems that my appearance disrupted the Wolf King's plan, so he sent two wolves to deal with me."

"That means Panda Mother will have an easier time dealing with the other two wolves."

In a wolf pack, the Wolf King generally did not attack personally. He stayed at the rear and directed the pack to attack its prey.

Only when the pack could not take down its target would the Wolf King step in.

After all, as a leader, he had to know how to command his subordinates.

No matter what, since he was facing them now, Lin Xuan had to give it everything he had and try to drive the wolf pack away!

"Awoo!!"

At that moment, the Wolf King sounded the attack signal again.

At the same time, two wolves attacked Lin Xuan, while the remaining two charged at Panda Mother.

Lin Xuan gripped the dagger tightly, waiting for an opportunity.

At a time like this, whoever was fiercer would survive.

In the jungle, wolves were incredibly fast. In just a moment, one of them had nearly reached Lin Xuan.

It leaped into the air, opened its bloody jaws, and tried to bite down on Lin Xuan's neck.

But how could Lin Xuan possibly give it that chance?

He swung his dagger with all his strength, slashing directly across the wolf's face.

The next instant, a deep wound appeared on the wolf's face. Blood streamed down and dripped onto the ground, filling the air with the stench of blood.

Perhaps the smell of blood had stimulated it, or perhaps Lin Xuan's dagger wound had enraged it. The injured wolf became even angrier and more vicious.

"Come on!"

Lin Xuan stepped forward with the blood-dripping dagger in hand, a fierce gleam in his eyes.

Just then, the other wolf behind Lin Xuan sprang into the air and pounced straight at his back.

Sensing movement behind him, Lin Xuan realized something was wrong. He quickly twisted aside, and the lunging wolf flew right past him.

Seeing the wolf pass by, Lin Xuan did not stop moving. At the moment he turned aside, he drove his dagger straight into the wolf's abdomen and then slashed fiercely.

The wolf's abdomen was instantly ripped open. Blood poured out, and its intestines spilled onto the ground.

"Awoo!!"

The pain made the wolf collapse onto the ground, where it howled miserably.

Seeing its companion's miserable state, the wolf whose face had been wounded earlier let out a low whine.

They might have been fierce wolves, but they were also afraid of encountering animals—or perhaps humans—even fiercer than themselves.

After all, humans had tools that could kill them.

Seeing his subordinates suffer such serious injuries, the Wolf King finally began to take this human seriously.

He howled and looked toward the other two wolves, ordering one of them to help the injured wolf attack this human together.

When he saw another wolf coming over, Lin Xuan knew Panda Mother would have an easier time on her side.

But things were not easy for him.

When he had been fighting the wolves just now, his nerves had remained taut the entire time.

Now that he had relaxed slightly, he felt a little weak all over.

"Looks like I still need to exercise more often!"

"Awooo!!"

The Wolf King sounded the attack signal once again.

One man and one snake kept their eyes fixed on the two wolves.

At the same time, the two wolves charged straight at Lin Xuan.

As they drew nearer, Xiao Qing, wrapped around Lin Xuan's wrist, saw the wolves attacking. She immediately bared her fangs and sprayed two streams of venom directly at their eyes.

One of the wolves failed to react in time, and the White-lipped Bamboo Viper's venom sprayed straight into its eye.

"Awooo!!"

Pain struck instantly, and blood began flowing from the wolf's eye.

Its eye had been blinded by the venom.

It could no longer see what was around it.

"Xiao Qing, well done!"

Seeing Xiao Qing's venom successfully strike one wolf in the eye and blind it, Lin Xuan was overjoyed.

Xiao Qing flicked out her tongue with a hiss.

She seemed to be saying, See? Bringing me along was the right decision. I can protect you too.

On a tree branch in the jungle.

Hearing the wolf pack's howls in the distance, the little Saker Falcon also cried out, "Geh geh geh!"

It was worried about Lin Xuan and afraid that something might happen to him.

After all, Lin Xuan had saved its life. Without him, it might already have died.

The little Saker Falcon struggled inside the towel and flapped its wings, wanting to fly up and help Lin Xuan.

But after struggling several times, it still could not fly. As it thrashed about on the branch, its body fell to the ground.
