Cai Yifan, who was 1.9 meters tall and had been foolish all his life, finally had a moment of clarity today.
It’s unclear if it was because he heard Zhang Dao’s folk tales, but the instant he felt something pressing on his shoulders, his first reaction wasn’t to turn around but to duck down and roll on the ground, scrambling to rejoin the main group.
When he stood up, he finally saw what was behind him.
— It was a giant wolf standing upright, with a body length estimated at 2.5 meters. Its thick black fur covered its entire body, yet its body looked very twisted. Its head was large, and its mouth could easily fit a truck tire. Its limbs were very slender, and its emerald-green eyes reflected the terrified faces of everyone, filled with murderous intent and hunger.
The crew, seeing this grotesque wolf, were so frightened that their scalps tingled, and they were all speechless.
“Wow~” Chen Huaian sighed.
This broke the atmosphere of fear.
Chen Huaian wasn’t being deliberately brave; he wasn’t scared at all, and even found it somewhat amusing.
For some reason, he thought this wolf was just okay.
In terms of intimidation, it didn’t even deserve to carry shoes for Qingxuan Daoist or the Bluecloud Ancestor.
So when he saw this strange wolf, he not only lacked any instinctive fear but also found it quite funny to see such a large wolf with slender limbs standing upright.
Calling it a demon, it wasn’t as fierce and brutal.
Calling it a wild beast, there was no such variety.
It gave the impression of a malformed child due to poor development.
Maybe it had mutated after drinking too much nuclear wastewater? But Tianmen Mountain isn’t near the sea.
Chen Huaian’s “Wow” brought the mountaineering uncle back to his senses.
He swallowed hard, watching the approaching wolf, and forced himself to stay calm. “Everyone, don’t be afraid. If you encounter wolves in the wild, don’t turn and run away, especially now that we’re many. It’s just one, and it won’t attack us easily. Now, we just need to slowly retreat to the minivan, and we’ll be safe.”
The minivan was less than fifty meters away, not a long distance.
But every step they took was difficult, filled with fear.
“Maintain eye contact with it, let it know we’re not afraid, but don’t provoke it, as this might anger it!” The uncle, who was relatively experienced, said. Although the wolf showed signs of aggression, it did not attack rashly, only baring its teeth and issuing a threatening growl.
The cameraman was also very professional.
Without knowing if it was part of the show’s effect, he kept his camera locked on the wolf, continuing the live stream.
However, the live chat room exploded.
[Oh my god, such a big wolf!]
[Is this an effect? Showmanship?]
[Baby Huai’an, come to Mommy’s arms, Mommy will protect you, sob sob…]
[Is this really showmanship? Don’t mess with us, has anyone called the police?]
[Xiaofan brother, I’m sorry. Between you and Brother Huai’an, I ultimately chose to worry about Huai’an…]
[Cai Yifan is a layman disciple of Shaolin, right? Shouldn’t he be able to take down a wolf easily since childhood?]
…
Song Zichen didn’t see the chat, but he recalled Cai Yifan’s words and poked him in the waist. “Brother Fan, you’ve been practicing martial arts since childhood, why don’t you go up and drive this wolf away? Use your urine to scare it!”
Cai Yifan’s nerves were already taut, and the sudden poke made him explode. He glared at Song Zichen and screamed, “I’ll kill you, you’re the one who practices martial arts, your whole family does. You want me to fight such a huge wolf? Are you crazy or am I?”
The uncle blocking everyone in front changed his expression, cursing inwardly at the fool.
The giant wolf had been observing and hesitating.
Cai Yifan and Song Zichen’s shouts were like fuses connecting to a powder keg, instantly infuriating the wolf.
Its body crouched, limbs touching the ground, ready to pounce.
Uncle saw this and was greatly alarmed, immediately turning to shout, “Run, run towards the minivan!”
However, the wolf was faster. Everyone felt a blur, and Song Zichen and Zhang Lulu were already knocked flying.
The wolf cut through the crowd and then howled loudly.
Anyone with a bit of knowledge could tell.
This wolf was still summoning more companions.
Sure enough, nearby bushes rustled, and another slightly smaller wolf darted out.
Two wolves glared menacingly, clearly dividing the crowd into two groups.
One group was closer to the minivan, while the other was intercepted outside.
Unfortunately, Chen Huaian belonged to the group intercepted outside, along with Su Xingchen and the main camera operator.
Su Xingchen and the photographer were desperate. They couldn’t possibly cross the wolves’ blockade to reach the minivan, and Zhang Dao’s group wouldn’t risk their lives to save them.
What should they do now?
In their panic, one person remained as steady as an old dog.
That was Chen Huaian.
“Amour, Supuerman!” Chen Huaian told himself.
Cancer cells and infinite potential reverberated within his life force.
He could hear them.
He raised his cold eyes to gaze at the wolf demon, filled with disdain and confidence.
Recalling how he, Chen Xianzun, had once defeated the Bluecloud Sect with a single sword strike, causing the sect’s gate to crumble, and how the old dog Qingxuan had knelt in the square unable to move, what was a mere oddly shaped wolf?
Su Xingchen quickly noticed the unusual Chen Huaian.
He wondered if this young man had a way out.
Then he saw Chen Huaian squatting and raising his cane to aim at the wolf,
His left hand, empty, beckoned the wolf.
Su Xingchen: “…”
No, wrong, don’t underestimate Brother Huai’an!
Perhaps, Chen Huaian knew martial arts!
A new spark of hope ignited in Su Xingchen’s heart.
Yes, Chen Huaian was terminally ill and disabled.
If not for his early physical training, his body would have collapsed by now. Yet here he was, climbing Tianmen Mountain and keeping up with the group, even more easily than anyone else!
The answer was almost clear.
The wolf, unable to withstand the provocation, roared and lunged.
Su Xingchen closed his eyes in fright.
Just then, Chen Huaian’s cane shot out like a dragon, full of killing intent, even carrying a hint of sword technique!
Swift, accurate, ruthless!
The cane struck the wolf’s head.
Crack!
Was the wolf’s skull broken?
Su Xingchen pried open an eye and saw two pieces of cane on the ground.
Oh, it was Brother Huai’an’s cane that broke…
But Chen Huaian was still blocking in front of them, holding the fort alone!
Could he have some other trick?
Su Xingchen and the photographer stared eagerly at Chen Huaian’s back.
Chen Huaian slowly turned his head, revealing a bitter smile.
“Don’t look…”
“Enemy ashamed! Run quickly!!!”
