Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 85 This man is exceptional!

Watching the soldiers fighting the strong and fierce wolves ahead, some already injured and killed, while wolves continued to emerge from the jungle, Mu Yun Chu's expression grew increasingly dark and sharp.

Gradually, most of the soldiers joined the battle. Mu Yun Chu drew the soft sword from her waist and leaped into the air.

Seeing this, Gu Qingyue tightened the strap of her backpack, gripped her dagger, and rushed into the wolf pack.

Gu Qingyue is usually cheerful and playful when she's with her friends, but she prefers quiet in private. When carrying out missions, she is ruthless and decisive, and never fails.

Upon arriving in this world, she was fortunate to encounter a master and the unique internal energy cultivation method of the Fengyun Sect, but even now, she has only recently begun to understand it.

Therefore, if it were a contest of martial arts routines and internal strength, she would definitely be the weaker party, but if it were a contest of killing methods, probably few people in the world could match her.

Her martial arts moves are simple, direct, ruthless, and fierce; she shows no mercy in killing or slaughtering.

Mu Yun Chu, who was fighting wolves back-to-back with her, had just pierced the neck of a huge wolf with her sword. When she turned around, she saw Gu Qing Yue holding a dagger. Her movements were agile, and she used the dagger to the extreme in stabbing, picking, and cutting. Whenever she swept through the wolf pack, what was left behind were fallen wolves and blood.

The soldiers who were close to Gu Qingyue were so shocked by her actions that their pupils widened.

Seeing that Gu Qingyue was safe and sound, Mu Yun Chu raised her longsword, becoming even more fierce than before.

Wild wolves kept attacking Mu Yun Chu, only to have their heads chopped off, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.

She was even more ruthless than Gu Qingyue.

Deep in the jungle, a strong gray wolf stared with its gleaming green eyes at the scene of fighting not far away. Its eyes grew increasingly fierce. With a howl, it charged into the crowd and pounced straight at Mu Yun Chu.

Mu Yun Chu suddenly felt a bloody wind coming from behind him. He turned around and thrust his sword, but the gray wolf dodged it. However, it did not give up. It stopped a few steps away, lowered its front paws again, and pounced with a howl.

Mu Yun Chu was not afraid. She thrust her longsword out again, this time piercing the gray wolf's body. The wolf rolled half a circle on the ground, staggered to its feet, and was enraged. Its eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc, and it pounced again and again.

Finally, Mu Yun Chu leaped into the air and cleaved the gray wolf's head off with a single sword strike. The wolf's body was then kicked into the fray by the fighting wolf pack.

With a 'thud,' the wolves, who were baring their teeth and preparing to attack, all stopped fighting.

Seeing that their alpha wolf was dead, and that these humans were so fierce and difficult to deal with, the remaining wolves began to retreat. After exchanging howls for a few moments, some of the wolves turned and fled into the dense forest.

Some of the wolves fled, and the rest turned and ran away as well.

In just a few breaths, the entire wolf pack had fled.

Mu Yun Chu watched the retreating wolf pack, her eyes narrowed dangerously, and pulled a handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe the soft sword in her hand.

Seeing this, Mu Nan gestured to several soldiers, including squad leaders and sergeants.

Within the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, the casualty report came in.

A total of 210 people went up the mountain this time. Five people died, seven were seriously injured, and more than 20 were slightly injured. The team was quite strong, after all, the wolf pack numbered at least 200, and probably more.

Although Nanyun Mountain and Meigu Mountain are connected, and the area of ​​dense forest in the mountainous region is huge, stretching for hundreds of kilometers, it is extremely rare for more than two hundred wolves to gather at once. There must be something fishy about this.

As Mu Yun Chu sat in the cave listening to Mu Nan's report, her aura turned cold and icy. Gu Qing Yue, who was nearby, suddenly felt the cold and dark pressure spreading around her, which made her feel a sense of fear.

This would never have happened before.

But this feeling only lasted for a moment. Gu Qingyue immediately adjusted her mood, picked up her backpack, walked out of the cave, and began to bandage the soldiers' wounds.

After treating all the wounded soldiers, a hint of gray began to appear on the horizon; dawn was breaking.

"Captain Mu, which direction should we go today? Shall we set off now?"

Seeing Mu Yun Chu leading Mu Nan out of the cave, Zhao Er Xin stepped forward to inquire, his attitude very respectful.

“Southeast, let’s go now,” Mu Nan replied.

Mu Yun Chu glanced at Zhao Er Xin indifferently, then walked forward expressionlessly, with Mu Nan and Gu Qing Yue following behind in silence.

Watching the three walk away, Zhao Erxin lowered his head, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

Because of the deaths and injuries among the soldiers, Mu Yun Chu sent soldiers to escort them back to camp. Only about 170 people set off this time.

Since encountering the wolf pack, everyone has become more cautious and careful along the way. Gu Qingyue secretly observed the soldiers around her and found that apart from becoming more cautious and vigilant, none of them showed any fear or apprehension. Gu Qingyue's impression of these soldiers improved even more.

At the same time, inevitably, she thought of the young people who were training hard in Lizhou.

I wonder how skilled they are in martial arts, and how they compare to the masters of this world?

As Gu Qingyue thought about it, she couldn't help but look up at Mu Yun Chu, who was being surrounded by two squad leaders not far away.

His brows were slightly furrowed, neither heavy nor cold, but he gave those around him an imposing sense of authority without anger.

Gu Qingyue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. The young man's face still had a touch of boyishness, but just by standing there quietly without saying a word, he exuded a noble and arrogant aura as if he were a king. She wondered where this lowly sixth-rank captain got such an aura.

As if sensing the scrutinizing gaze, Mu Yun Chu turned to look at Gu Qing Yue.

Gu Qingyue immediately put on an innocent smile, though she was actually a little flustered from being stared at by those eyes.

This guy is absolutely amazing! I wonder if he'll be one of her future sweethearts?

Constantly imagining things, even finding joy in hardship, made Gu Qingyue thoroughly enjoy the sunshine at this moment. She squinted, tilted her head back, and it seemed as if the sky had become bluer. The sky was high and the mountains were small, with drifting clouds and swirling winds—it was truly a warm and pleasant day.

"What are you laughing at?"

A familiar voice suddenly rang in my ears.

Gu Qingyue barely managed to suppress the pounding of her heart, stared intently at the towering figure of the man, and calmly said, "We had fish for lunch."

"what?"

The man seemed surprised by the answer and paused for a moment.

"Delicious!" Gu Qingyue answered crisply.

When it comes to talking nonsense and fabricating stories, even ten Mu Yun Chus wouldn't be a match for her.

Mu Yun Chu sat down beside her, leaning against the tree trunk behind her. She also looked up at the vast sky, just like Gu Qing Yue, and squinted her eyes slightly.

A warm breeze swept through the dense forest in the mountains, and through the branches, it caressed the faces of people under the trees, making them want to take a gentle breath.

"That feels so good!" Gu Qingyue said after a moment.

She casually handed Mu Yun Chu a fruit, saying that she had picked it by chance in the woods at noon.

Actually, Gu Qingyue bought a batch of fruit tree saplings in Lizhou Prefecture during her spare time and planted them in her space. The day before yesterday, all the saplings bore fruit and ripened. After lunch, she secretly took them out while washing her hands by the stream.

This is a rare type of honey pear, small in size but very sweet, especially those grown in the soil of this place, which are exceptionally sweet and fragrant.

Mu Yun Chu didn't hesitate. She picked up the fruit and took a bite. It was juicy, delicious, sweet, and refreshing, just like the weather at the moment, allowing her tense nerves to relax for a moment.

Meanwhile, a person who was pretending to sleep by leaning against a tree trunk not far away squinted and looked at the two people whispering under the tree, giving the people next to him a profound look without making a sound.

The afternoon sun shines through the dense forest, quietly illuminating the people resting under the trees, like a pair of hands gently caressing each person's face, creating a serene and warm atmosphere.
