A Tyrant of the Mountains (1/3)

Just as Li Jingshu was talking with Xiao Gui,

Those Sleepy Bug also managed to find the whereabouts of Zhuhuai and Huodou through the damaged trees.

Buzz!

After a Sleepy Bug circled around Li Jingshu a few times, she immediately understood what it meant.

"Walk!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Jingshu signaled Xiao Gui to fly into the sky, while she followed the Sleepy Bug into the deeper part of the mountain forest.

This is when Li Jingshu's formidable physical abilities were on full display.

When the Life Primordial Qi circulated throughout his body, that small figure actually ran at the speed of a cheetah.

Whenever she encounters an obstacle, Li Jingshu only needs to leap lightly, using tree branches and vines to jump several meters.

In just a few breaths, Li Jingshu's figure disappeared into the mountains and forests.

"Call!"

When Li Jingshu arrived at the place where the Sleepy Bug had been.

The first thing that catches the eye is a scene of devastation in the woods, and flames still raging.

Amidst the raging flames, a large black dog, nearly half a person's height, was panting heavily, its blood dripping from its wounds onto the ground.

Strangely, the blood wasn't red, but rather a jet-black color like petroleum.

As the black blood dripped onto the ground, the already burning flames suddenly surged even more fiercely.

"Beer!"

On the opposite side of that Huodou.

In his berserk state, Zhuhuai were bloodshot and he was panting heavily.

The trees along the way were forcibly broken, and some large trees in particularly unfortunate locations were even uprooted.

However, compared to Huodou, who was covered in wounds, Zhuhuai was in much better condition.

Apart from looking somewhat tired, there wasn't a single wound on Zhuhuai's body.

Its thick forelegs were still pawing the ground from time to time, as if it were about to charge.

That is—

They keenly noticed that Huodou's current position was somewhat off.

Looking into the distance, Li Jingshu noticed that there was a litter of cubs behind Huodou that hadn't even opened their eyes yet.

It was precisely to protect those newly born cubs.

This Huodou, which had originally fled, was forced to stay and fight the enemy.

Unfortunately, weakened by childbirth, she was powerless to fight against Zhuhuai and could only watch helplessly as she slowly walked towards death.

"Cry!"

His low, mournful voice conveyed boundless sorrow.

Huodou was not afraid of death; she was only saddened that her child had not yet had the chance to open his eyes and see the world.

"Zhuhuai! This is enough!"

Just as Zhuhuai's nostrils began to steam, preparing to launch another attack.

Li Jingshu, who had finally caught her breath, jumped out and stepped in time to stop Zhuhuai and Huodou.

"You don't actually have any deep-seated hatred for this Huodou."

"Now that you have slaughtered her entire race, spare the remaining cubs!"

Seemingly startled by Li Jingshu's sudden appearance, a hint of human error flashed in Zhuhuai's eyes.

Because Zhuhuai knew Li Jingshu.

Or to be more precise, all the intelligent spirits in this mountain forest recognize this human girl.

This wasn't just because the girl had a bad temper, incredible strength, was indestructible, and no one had ever actually made her bleed.

Furthermore, this girl was backed by the mountain god of Flying Peak and the legendary Mountain Folk Prophet.

"Eye!"

After a brief pause, Zhuhuai let out another low roar.

This was a warning to Li Jingshu to leave, and she clearly understood Zhuhuai's warning.

You stubborn mule!

"I'm not discussing this with you; I'm just informing you!"

Li Jingshu also roared in a low voice, her eyes wide with anger as she glared at the other person.

"I'm taking this litter of pups!"

"You'd better get out of here right now, or I'll make you want to beat me up!"

Li Jingshu's words were not an exaggeration.

As the local tyrant of this mountain forest, Li Jingshu's prestige was truly earned through hard work and dedication.

Unfortunately, this time she encountered Zhuhuai, who also had a fiery temper.

Boom!

With a sudden stomp of its hoof, Zhuhuai launched an immediate charge.

Its massive size, coupled with its four enormous forward-pointing horns, makes it resemble a heavy armored tank charging forward.

"Idiot!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Jingshu instantly pulled out her butterfly knife.

Then, with lightning speed, they met Zhuhuai, who was charging forward.

Roar!

In the instant the two clashed, a faint roar seemed to emanate from the butterfly knife in Li Jingshu's hand.

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, one of Zhuhuai's giant horns was severed by the butterfly knife.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Jingshu dodged and delivered a powerful kick, using an almost unbelievable angle and force to knock her opponent to the ground.

"Whoosh!"

It seemed like resentment, or perhaps a lament—

Zhuhuai had fallen to the ground, struggled to get up again, seemingly trying to do so.

As a result, more than a dozen Sleepy Bug that had been waiting for a long time immediately crawled into its nostrils, giving it no chance to get up and start over.

"Eye·-"

The cries and roars subsided instantly, replaced by heavy breathing and the sound of slumber.

"Should we pry off the remaining corners as well?"

They only arrived at the scene at this moment. Xiao Gui skillfully landed on Li Jingshu's shoulder and asked.

"Woolen cloth·-."

It must be admitted that Xiao Gui's words did indeed move Li Jingshu.

However, after glancing at the giant horn on the ground, Li Jingshu ultimately shook her head.

"No, while my little brother might like these horns, he certainly won't like me treating these monsters like this."

"I have no grudge against this Zhuhuai. If I further deprive it of its ability to survive, I might as well just kill it."

Although Li Jingshu is the tyrant of this mountain forest, she still has her own bottom line.

So after saying these words, she ignored the unconscious Zhuhuai and turned to the dying Huodou.

"I'm not saving you; I'm just after that group of sick children behind you."

"According to the Principle of the forest, they are now my spoils—"

"You can tell me anything, and I'll tell them as appropriate when they grow up."

Just as Zhuhuai could understand Li Jingshu's words, this Huodou clearly understood her meaning as well.

"Sing--"

Surprisingly, Huodou did not make any demands.

She took one last, wistful look at her children before she breathed her last.

"Waaaaah--"

It was as if it sensed the departure of its mother, or perhaps it was simply because the surrounding flames began to die out.

The litter of puppies let out mournful cries, which moved everyone who heard them.
