Luring the Wolves
"Question is, are you qualified to negotiate terms with me?" Qian Ye looked at her.
Even if they were a team, he still had to defend his own authority.
"You..."
Qin Qianyu was genuinely infuriated by his words.
Yet she had nothing to say in rebuttal.
If she had a solution, she would not have been so flustered that she had begged him for help.
"Then I'll have to trouble you!" For herself and for the entire team, Qin Qianyu could only lower her stance.
"Since you at least know your place, I won't hold it against you."
Everyone: "..."
She was their little captain, yet now she was being lectured by a rookie and still had to swallow her pride. They were honestly impressed.
Qian Ye did not waste words and led them toward a spot a hundred meters away.
Rou Shui, Qin Qianyu, and the others hurried after him. With their lives on the line, none of them dared be careless.
Right now, they wanted nothing except to stay alive. Whoever could do that was the boss.
Before long, Qian Ye led them to a rock cave at the foot of a slope.
They entered together.
The cave entrance was less than two meters high and about four meters wide—not too large, not too small.
Qian Ye checked inside. It was no more than ten meters deep.
It was a natural cave.
"Captain, what should we do now?" Fu Fei suddenly asked.
Qin Qianyu thought for a moment, then looked toward Qian Ye. "Fu Fei, Brother Ye is the captain now. We'll all listen to him."
Thinking about how he had stolen her first kiss made her grit her teeth.
Just wait until we defeat the Wolf Bandits. I'll show you how I deal with you!
Naturally, Qian Ye had no idea what Qin Qianyu was thinking. Seeing that she was honoring their agreement, he said, "Simple. Which one of you will come with me to lure the Wolf Bandits over?"
"I'll go!" Qin Qianyu was the first to step forward.
Qian Ye glanced at her, then headed out of the cave without another word.
Qin Qianyu followed closely behind. As she watched his back, she found herself somewhat dazed.
"Do you think he can really lead us to defeat the Wolf Bandits?" Fatty asked skeptically.
Da Jiang gave a bitter smile. "Who knows? We're not worms in his stomach, right?"
"..."
"Besides, he's only Level 33. Hard to say. Our little captain is probably the only one willing to believe him!"
Rou Shui was displeased after hearing them. "Don't underestimate Brother Ye. He's not someone you can imagine. If he says he can do it, then he can definitely do it."
"Damn, if he's that amazing, why doesn't he just fly up to heaven?"
Da Jiang loudly mocked her. "Little girl, you're with him, so of course you're speaking up for him."
"I am with Brother Ye, but not in the way you think. Brother Ye truly has real skills. He's someone none of you can compare to."
"None of us can compare to him?"
Da Jiang looked disdainful. "Why don't you just say that even His Holiness the current Pope can't compare to him?"
Rou Shui clenched her fists. "Da Jiang, stop twisting my words. Believe it or not, but don't let yourself get slapped in the face later and still need Brother Ye to save you."
"Give me a break! I need him to save me? What a joke." Da Jiang looked disgusted.
"You said that?"
"I did. So what?"
The two began arguing.
The others watched from the side. In their view, with only ten of them facing a thousand Wolf Bandits, they had no chance of winning. They were afraid of losing their lives.
That was why they were all in a panic.
More importantly, they simply did not believe Qian Ye had the strength to lead them out of this crisis.
A thousand Wolf Bandits—each one was, on average, equivalent to a Soul Master around Level 30.
Among the ten of them, aside from Qin Qianyu at Level 55, the others ranged from Level 20 to Level 40 in Soul Power.
With such a gap in strength, they did not dare imagine facing a thousand Wolf Bandits.
"Brother Ye, do you really stand a chance?" Qin Qianyu caught up to Qian Ye and asked.
Qian Ye did not even turn his head. "Do you lack confidence in yourself, or do you lack confidence in me?"
"Can't I just ask?" Qin Qianyu said angrily.
No matter what, she had been the captain. But what was she now?
This man was too arrogant. He did not give her any face at all.
If you weren't at least reliable, this young lady would never put up with this nonsense!
"Actions speak louder than words. Since you don't believe me, what use is there in saying more? Why even ask?"
Qin Qianyu ground her teeth in anger. She had only wanted to talk to him. What an idiot!
After walking for a while, Qian Ye stopped behind a large tree. He exposed only half his head and peered ahead with one eye.
Qin Qianyu copied him, crouching behind him and observing the area ahead. She could see the Wolf Bandits moving about on the low hill.
At this distance, her throwing knives could kill the two Wolf Bandits standing guard ahead.
Qian Ye moved his hand, and two small knives appeared in his left hand.
"What are you doing?" Qin Qianyu asked, looking at the knives in his hand.
Qian Ye did not answer. His right hand flashed repeatedly, and the knives shot out with two whooshes...
Bang! Bang!
The two Wolf Bandits suddenly fell to the ground without making a sound.
Qin Qianyu was stunned. With only the small knives in his hand, Qian Ye had silently killed two Wolf Bandits in an instant.
Each knife had pierced into the back of a Wolf Bandit's head—fast and precise.
With a flick of his hand, Qian Ye retrieved the two knives. Wolf Bandit blood still clung to them.
Qin Qianyu said nothing and simply gave him a thumbs-up.
Without another word, Qian Ye gripped both knives and charged into the Wolf Bandits. One Wolf Bandit after another fell dead.
With Treading Snow Without Trace and Shadow Follows Twin Blades, his speed, strength, and knife technique worked together perfectly. Killing the Wolf Bandits was effortless.
Wow~
Qin Qianyu was still standing there in shock when more than a dozen Wolf Bandits had already fallen beneath his blades.
No wonder he was not afraid. He was actually this powerful!
Only then did Qin Qianyu understand. He was truly strong. Since he had taken her first kiss anyway, it would not be too much to make him her boyfriend.
Buzz~
Soul Power rippled from Qin Qianyu's body, and one, two, three, four, five Soul Rings emerged beneath her.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black—two hundred-year Soul Rings, two thousand-year Soul Rings, and one Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
A blue Martial Soul appeared behind her. It was her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul.
Qin Qianyu rushed forward. "First Soul Skill: Ice Feathers Descend!"
At once, a massive Ice Phoenix flew across the sky. With a powerful flap of its wings, countless icy feathers fell within a hundred-meter radius, toward
Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!
The Wolf Bandits stood two to three meters tall, their sturdy fur and muscles gleaming with a bluish light as they used their natural defenses to withstand the icy feathers.
Though the ice feathers struck them, they were not injured.
Only a few Wolf Bandits failed to defend themselves in time and fell wounded. One was struck in a vital spot and died.
Qian Ye glanced back at Qin Qianyu. Seeing the five rings around her and the bird of prey behind her, he knew that she had unleashed that skill.
"So her Martial Soul is an Ice Phoenix. It's quite a powerful Martial Soul."
Qian Ye held his twin blades and continued cutting through the Wolf Bandits. Only after more than a hundred Wolf Bandits had fallen beneath his knives did he turn and run back.
The smaller Wolf Bandits were over two meters tall, while the larger ones stood over three meters tall. They were all giants.
Seeing Qian Ye running back, Qin Qianyu immediately followed him. "Brother Ye, you're incredible. You killed more than a hundred Wolf Bandits in one go."
"I think you alone could deal with these thousand Wolf Bandits. Do you even need us to make a move?"
"You wish!" Qian Ye said helplessly. "We'll lure the Wolf Bandits over, then wipe them out together."
"You're the captain now. I'll listen to you!" Qin Qianyu said with complete trust.
After witnessing Qian Ye's skills just now, she truly felt at ease handing him command.
Uh~
Qian Ye shook his head. Women really were fickle!
He continued running ahead, with the Wolf Bandits chasing behind him.
Wolf Bandits, Let Go of That Beautiful Girl
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a scream came from behind him.
That shriek was truly unbearable to hear. Anyone who did not know better would think something terrible had happened.
Qian Ye hurriedly turned around. Qin Qianyu had been pounced on and pinned to the ground by a Wolf Bandit, struggling desperately.
The Wolf Bandit's two glowing claws were tearing at her clothes?
Fortunately, Wolf Bandits generally did not kill women. They captured them, used them to breed offspring, and only then killed and ate them.
Otherwise, Qin Qianyu's life would have been in danger.
"Wolf Bandit, let go of that beautiful girl!"
Hearing this, warmth surged through Qin Qianyu's heart. "Brother Ye... save me!"
Qian Ye flashed forward and appeared behind the Wolf Bandit. His blade rose and fell, rose and fell, rose and fell...
He stabbed the Wolf Bandit to death on top of her.
Seeing that the Wolf Bandit was dead and that blood had sprayed all over her, Qin Qianyu quickly rolled over and got up. "Brother Ye, thank you for saving me."
"Less talk!" Qian Ye grabbed her hand and sprinted ahead.
This was not the time for talking.
The clothes on Qin Qianyu's back had nearly been shredded by the Wolf Bandit's claws, exposing her fair skin and ten bloody claw marks.
When he pulled her along, the pain made her cry out, "Awoo! Awoo!"
Uh~
Anyone hearing that would think he had done something utterly unforgivable to her!
