Chapter 282: A Matter of Life and Death

More and more wild wolves rushed over; some circled under the tree where Hu Lili was, but most were under the tree where Lv Peng and Yang Fan were.

Suddenly, another wild wolf jumped up and bit onto Cheng Jiajia's skirt.

It was unknown what fabric Cheng Jiajia's skirt was made of, but it was surprisingly sturdy; after those two wild wolves bit her skirt, they didn't tear it, but instead dragged Cheng Jiajia down.

Lv Peng, who had been holding on in the tree for so long, could no longer hold on, so he let go with his hand.

Without Lv Peng's help, Cheng Jiajia immediately lost her balance and fell from the tree, screaming.

It's over.

She was definitely going to die tonight.

Cheng Jiajia thought to herself, a look of despair appearing on her face.

But just at this moment, a gust of wild wind suddenly struck, and Cheng Jiajia instantly felt herself fall into a strong and powerful arm, not hitting the ground.

She hurriedly opened her eyes and saw that she was lying in a man's embrace.

Who else could this man be but Lin Feng!

"You are truly stupid," Lin Feng said.

Cheng Jiajia was extremely ashamed, but now was not the time for nonsense; the surrounding wild wolves were all pouncing over.

"Hide behind me and don't move around."

As Lin Feng spoke, he set Cheng Jiajia down, clenched his fist, and struck out fiercely.

With a loud "Boom—", the wild wolf that had pounced over was instantly sent flying backward by Lin Feng's strike; after landing on the ground, it began to twitch, and it was clear it had only breath going out and none coming in.

Lin Feng kicked again, sending a wild wolf that had pounced from the side sprawling onto the ground, unable to move.

In just a few seconds, Lin Feng had already dealt with six or seven wild wolves with his bare hands, and the area around him was littered with the corpses of wild wolves.

Hu Lili, up in the tree, watched with a flushed face, feeling incredibly excited.

As for Lv Peng and Yang Fan, they both wore expressions of disbelief.

At this very moment, Lin Feng was simply like a god descending to earth, or like a fierce tiger charging into a sheep pen; he slaughtered in all directions, and not a single wild wolf was his match.

Often in a single encounter, Lin Feng could make a wild wolf lose its ability to fight, or even kill it instantly.

"Is this Mr. Lin's strength? It's really too strong..."

Hu Lili said as if talking to herself, but she did not know that Lin Feng had not even used one percent of his strength.

To deal with this pack of wild wolves, Lin Feng did not even use a Martial Skill; from beginning to end, he was just attacking casually.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

The sound of strikes rang out continuously; there were more and more wolf corpses around Lin Feng's body, and fewer and fewer wild wolves left standing.

After two minutes, of the thirty-some wild wolves, only a dozen or so were still standing, while the others had all fallen to the ground, becoming corpses that still retained their warmth.

Suddenly, a large wild wolf let out a howl, and the rest of the wild wolves all followed it and fled in a panic.

Lin Feng glanced at the wolf pack fleeing with their tails between their legs, then withdrew his gaze.

These wild wolves were just a bunch of beasts, and there was no need to wipe them all out.

Furthermore, these beasts were protected animals; since that was the case, he would let them go.

"Alright, it's fine now," Lin Feng said, patting the dust off his hands.

Hu Lili jumped down from the tree and, not even bothering to put on her sneakers, ran over quickly and looked at Lin Feng with great excitement, saying: "Mr. Lin, you are really amazing! To think you could kill so many vicious wolves with your bare hands!"

"Nonsense," Lin Feng said irritably.

Looking at the surrounding wolf corpses, Lin Feng felt very helpless.

Actually, he hadn't wanted to take action.

After all, this wasn't ancient times; the number of wolves was dwindling, and the species was already on the verge of extinction in the country.

So he really didn't want to make things worse for this species.

But he hadn't expected Cheng Jiajia, this female college student, to be so stupid that she couldn't even climb a tree; since that was the case, he couldn't keep hiding his strength.

After all, no matter how important a wolf's life was, it couldn't be compared to a human life.

Hu Lili had already put on her shoes; she ran over to help Cheng Jiajia up and asked with concern: "Jiajia, are you okay?"

"I... my foot hurts a little," Cheng Jiajia said with a trembling voice, tears still hanging on her face.

Hu Lili said: "Could it be that you twisted your foot when you fell from the tree just now? But it doesn't matter, Mr. Lin is here; he can definitely cure you easily."

Hearing Hu Lili say this, Cheng Jiajia finally relaxed a little.

Hu Lili said again: "Jiajia, Mr. Lin saved your life; aren't you going to say something?"

Only then did Cheng Jiajia react, and then, with Hu Lili's support, she came before Lin Feng.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Lin, you... you are my savior," Cheng Jiajia said with a look of gratitude.

Thinking back to how she had just fallen from the tree and been carried bridal-style by this man, Cheng Jiajia felt her face burning, and she was incredibly shy inside.

After all, from childhood to now, she had never had such intimate contact with any man; being held in his arms just now was definitely a first—like a maiden boarding a bridal sedan for the very first time.

"Then how do you plan to repay Mr. Lin?" Hu Lili asked with a smile.

"This... this..." Cheng Jiajia stammered, unable to say a complete sentence.

Hu Lili joked: "Why don't you just offer yourself to him!"

"Don't joke around."

Lin Feng glared at Hu Lili, then said to Cheng Jiajia: "It's fine as long as you're okay; as for repayment... I don't need it, I don't want anything from you."

Only then did Cheng Jiajia finally relax completely, her heart feeling much more settled.

Lv Peng and Yang Fan also walked over, their expressions both very complex.

Hu Lili said: "See that? This is Mr. Lin's strength; killing over twenty wild wolves with his bare hands—could you two do that?"

"Just a moment ago I said Mr. Lin was very strong, not an ordinary person, but you two just wouldn't believe me; now you should believe it, right?"

Who would have thought that Lv Peng would actually snort coldly and, pretending to be disdainful, say: "What's the skill in being able to fight? The times have long since changed; now it's about who can make more money. Even if he can fight, he has no place to use it!"

"You... how dare you speak like that? Mr. Lin saved our lives!" Hu Lili said indignantly.

Lv Peng, however, said coldly, "Who asked him to save us? Wolves can't climb trees. As long as we stay in the tree, we are safe. Once dawn breaks, that pack of wild wolves will leave on their own. Even if he hadn't helped, Yang Fan and I wouldn't have been hurt."

Hu Lili was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode, but Lin Feng said, "There is no need to waste breath on them; I didn't act just now for their sake."

Since Lin Feng had said as much, Hu Lili did not speak again.

Lv Peng and Yang Fan cast a cold glance, then left together, striding toward the tents.

"What kind of people are they? I am truly so disappointed. I shouldn't have come camping here with them," Hu Lili said, gritting her teeth.
