Dark Blood Path

Chapter 5: The Terrifying Forest

Sun Qichao was panting heavily, his pace decreased, and the gap between him and the others became much wider. Eventually, he voiced weakly: Wait, wait for me No, I really cant run I cant! Even if I die, I cant run even if Im to die

Qichao, hold on!

At this time, a girl slowed down and came to Sun Qichaos side, pulling him to run together. This was his girlfriend, Tang Lei, a student in Class 9 of the Fine Arts School. She didnt possess a particularly attractive or good figure, but she was cheerful and energetic in their classroom. Everyone had a good impression of her. Tang Lei had killed a goblin slave before, so her physique was much better than that of ordinary people; otherwise, she would have fallen behind, and she wouldnt have had the ability to help anyone.

Sun Qichao turned pale and said, I cant run anymore, leave me alone; just run away

Tang Lei felt very contradictory in her heart. She was terrified and hoped to run away immediately, but she felt a little sorry for her boyfriend; thus, she fell into a dilemma.

Roar

The unlucky boyfriend was about to say something when a terrible roar echoed beside his ears. He looked sideways with a pale face and saw a gray figure rushing out of the woods. Its huge body landed with a muffled bang, and its strong limbs slammed down hard into the ground. As soon as it kicked the earth, a large number of dead leaves and soil were thrown up in the air; it was charging at an alarming speed.

His pupils shrank suddenly; he was terrified at the sight of this frightening wolf!

A giant gray-furred wolf almost half the height of a man!

Tang Lei let out a scream in fright, quickened her steps, and rushed forward without hesitation.

In a panic, Sun Qichao had his foot caught by a tree root. He fell to the ground, gnawed a mouthful of rotten leaves and dirt, and dropped his glasses; in which one side had already broken. Being highly myopic, after losing his glasses, his vision became much more blurred. He could only grope around, yet he couldnt find them. At this moment, he felt a strong wind coming his way, and he instinctively yelled for help: I dont want to die, I dont want to die Everyone, dont go, save me, save meah! Tang Lei, help me, dont leave me behind!

Everyone was running wildly; no one was paying him any attention. Only Tang Lei, who had just run seven to eight meters ahead, hesitated for a while. Then, finally, her heart softened up, and she couldnt help but take a second look behind. However, at that moment, two giant wolves just happened to throw Sun Qichao down. One of the giant wolves opened its huge mouth and bit Sun Qichaos arm. Its sharp teeth pierced through both his clothes and muscles, and iron-sharp nails deeply dug into his bones.

Ah! Ah! Help, help!

Sun Qichaos howls became even more terrifying.

The giant wolf stepped on his chest, exerting force with its large mouth; a pushi sound was heard as a bloody mist sprung up. An arm and half a shoulder were torn apart, all the bones were shattered, and the bone fragments mixed with blood were sprayed high up in the air, enough to splash all over Tang Leis face, who stood far away.

Tang Leis face turned pale with fright, but she deeply realized that Sun Qichao was already hopeless, and the most important thing right now was to save her own life. So she didnt hesitate anymore and didnt care about her feelings at the moment; she just rushed forward as fast as possible.

Save me! Save me! Save me!

At this time, another giant wolf also laid on top of Sun Qichaos body. With its large jaw, it effortlessly bit open his stomach and began eating his internal organs with big mouthfuls. Sun Qichao only howled three times, and his breath quickly weakened. When he died, his eyes were wide open; his face was distorted, full of fear and despair, resentment and unwillingness!

Sun Qichaos tragic death made everyone feel more terrified. Under the threat of death, everyone burst out with amazing potential. People who were on the verge of exhaustion erupted once again with incredible speed, even though their previous pace was not slow by any means. But, after all, they were only human beings; how could they outrun the dreadful jungle beast?

Ahooww!

Along with a loud howling sound, there was a rustling noise in the forest as six to seven gray silhouettes appeared from the bushes behind, and the gigantic wolves chased the fleeing people at breakneck speed. Not long after, a shrill scream sounded out from behind the group. Due to her waiting for Sun Qichao, Tang Lei fell behind and was overtaken by the giant wolves. Two or three wolves surrounded her, and all of a sudden, her flesh and blood flew everywhere, killing her tragically on the spot. In the end, she did not manage to escape. A few seconds later, a similar scream sounded again; the people that fell behind were thrown to the ground by hungry wolves and killed mercilessly.

Those screams were like a terrible reminder imprinted in everyones hearts,

Xiao Yu shouted loudly while running: We will be in a safe area very soon, dont look back, run

Before he could finish speaking, a huge gray shadow jumped up from his left side and flashed toward him. This giant wolf moved so fast that even Xiao Yu didnt have enough time to dodge. The moment the two wolfs paws touched his shoulders, he punched its head reflexively, preventing the imminent fatal wolf bite, though he was still pushed down in a nearby bush full of thorns.

In an instant, Xiao Yu had the feeling of falling into a pile of needles, and there was a tingling pain everywhere in his body. However, Xiao Yu had a lot of experience. When he was almost thrown to the ground, he immediately put the goblin club across his neck. A sharp claw slashed into his shoulder, and his clothes were instantly torn apart, leaving deep wounds behind.

Everyone already regarded Xiao Yu as a life-saving straw, and now seeing him in this sorry state, the escaping team became chaotic. Han Kexin, Jin Shi, Wang Chao, and Jiang Xiaowen all raised the clubs in their hands, intending to rescue him.

Xiao Yu fell amidst the thorny bushes, sticking his weapon between the wolfs jaws; at the same time, he shouted loudly: You idiots, do you want to fucking die? Leave me alone, dont stop! Go! Go straight ahead, Dont look back, never stop!

Argh!

The giant wolf bit the weapon and shook its head vigorously, causing the goblin club to be released from Xiao Yus grip as it flew high and fell in the distance. The wolf let out a deep growl, showing its fangs, and aimed at his neck, attempting to bite him once again. At this time, Jin Shi had already rushed over, and the almsot two-meter-tall man let out an earth-shattering roar, brandished a wooden club in his hands, and slammed it on the side of the giant wolfs face with great force, smashing a fang till it was broken.

Xiao Yu took the opportunity to exert all his strength and kicked his leg fiercely on the giant wolfs abdomen. He could hear the sound of bones breaking and the wolfs mournful cry. As a result of hitting vital organs, the giant wolf struggled on the ground a few times, failed to stand up again, and completely lost its vitality.

A ball of essence several times larger than the goblin slaves emerged, a small part of which was distributed to Jin Shi, and the rest was absorbed by Xiao Yus body. The amount of energy he gained was enough to exceed that of five goblin slaves!

Wang Chao pulled Xiao Yu up, and cursed loudly: Fuck, lets stick together, damn it, I cannot ignore a brother in a life-and-death situation; I just cant do such a thing.

Jin Shi also nodded beside them and said: Thats right, lets stick together. Live together, and die together!

Okay! Fatty, Stone, I owe you one!

Xiao Yu stood firmly and took the club from Jiang Xiaowen. He didnt care about checking his injuries and immediately led the crowd to continue running without further ado.

Along the way, a few more people were attacked by giant wolves. In the end, each wolf successfully hunted down one human being, and they did not continue to chase after the others as they had their food. Under the leadership of Xiao Yu, this group of people walked out of this area smoothly, and the trees in front of them gradually thinned down a notch, and several small hills could be seen in the distance.

Ten minutes later, everyone stood panting at the foot of a low mountain with sparse vegetation. On the rocky side at the foot of the small mountain, there was a naturally formed cave, which was the closest safe hiding place in Xiao Yus memory. Han Kexin took another look at Xiao Yu.

He obviously knew that there was such a place in the forest, as he directly led everyone to escape here.

Xiao Yu took a deep breath and shouted to everyone: Everyone, sit here and rest; this area is relatively safe.

The remaining thirty or so people were all exhausted, and when they heard his words, they collapsed down in the blink of an eye. A few of them were tense for a long time; their physical strength was exhausted, and now that they relaxed, they passed out on the spot. Even those who didnt faint were lying on the ground gasping for air due to their severe physical exhaustion.

It was nothing short of a nightmare!

Xiao Yu sat down on the spot and checked his body. He fell into a thorn bush earlier, causing many scratches and stab wounds to appear on his skin, but these were all flesh wounds and nothing serious. The most severe injury was in his shoulders, which were scratched by the wolfs claws. The wound was deep, and the bleeding had not stopped. Moreover, the wound showed signs of festering and pus, indicating that it must have been infected. Due to excessive blood loss, Xiao Yus head felt a little dizzy, coupled with the severe infection and the wounds all over his body, he could develop a high fever if they were not taken care of in the immediate short term. Moreover, if this lasted for a long while, his situation might worsen!

Now that there was no medicine and no doctors, there existed only one way to heal wounds!

While everyone was resting, many students that fled came out from the green woods one after the other to join everyone else. In the blink of an eye, from more than thirty survivors to more than fifty, their numbers increased steadily over time.

After resting for a while, their physical strength was almost fully recovered.

Xiao Yu stood up and stopped in front of the cave; he said to the others: Everyone, listen to me; this cave is connected to a small underground cave with a large space, which can be used as our temporary shelter. But there is some danger down there. Whos willing to go down with me to clear it up?

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay; finally, Jin Shi and Wang Chao stood up.

Ill go too! Han Kexin walked out of the crowd.

me too!

A clear and sweet voice sounded out, and Jiang Xiaowen stepped forward timidly. Although luck was involved, she still hunted and killed two goblin slaves by herself, and her physique was already slightly better than that of ordinary professional athletes.

Xiao Yu said: Jiang Xiaowen, you dont need to go; the four of us are enough.

Jiang Xiaowen, who was originally weak and timid, seemed to become extremely stubborn after experiencing that battle, I also want to go!

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, Besides the four of us, you, who had killed two monsters, are the strongest one here. Someone has to stay in order to protect the others, okay?

When Jiang Xiaowen heard this sentence, she nodded obediently: Okay.

Xiao Yu roughly estimated that four people should be enough for the next task. When he fled here in his previous life, the strongest person at the time only killed five goblin slaves. In terms of intelligence, wisdom, and mental strength, he was quite inferior to Han Kexin, who also killed five.

In addition, Jin Shi and Wang Chao both killed four goblins each. Their strength was only slightly weaker than Han Kexin. Xiao Yu himself killed more than twenty goblin slaves, thats without counting the last gray wolf. With his rich experience and fighting awareness, it should be easy enough to clean up the little trouble down there.
