Whoosh-
Gao Xuezhi's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, and she raised her sword behind Yue Wen.
But having encountered her under these circumstances, Yue Wen could never have trusted her with his back. Though his eyes faced forward, his divine sense had remained firmly locked onto Gao Xuezhi.
Noticing that the girl seemed about to attack him, he immediately halted and spun around with astonishing speed. Before Gao Xuezhi's sword qi could fall, Yue Wen had already struck her neck with a knife-hand blow.

Gao Xuezhi's neck tilted, and she went limp and collapsed unconscious.
Yue Wen caught her arm and helped her over to a nearby stump, laying her against it, feeling somewhat puzzled.
With Gao Xuezhi's courage, she probably wouldn't have dared attack Granny Wolf, would she?
How had she contracted the wolf-seed curse?
After a brief examination, Yue Wen discovered a puncture wound from a tooth on her arm, its blood already dried, and immediately understood. She must have been among the wolves when the black mist swept in, and might have been bitten by a little wolf amid the chaos.
That strange wolf seed could spread this way too.
Granny Wolf certainly had plenty of tricks and was rather difficult to deal with. Fortunately, after observing her over this period, Yue Wen had learned almost everything he needed.
It now seemed that escaping would be difficult without eliminating her.
Inside this nightmare realm, teammates could instead become obstacles. There was no telling who might suddenly erupt and become a "werewolf" once the howling began.
So the best approach was to eliminate Granny Wolf now, while he was alone!
Yue Wen now held two magical artifacts that countered nightmare wraith creatures, and he already understood her methods. He had absolute confidence in dealing with Granny Wolf.
