Chapter 3: Encountering Wild Wolves

Seeing a glimmer of hope for survival, Zhao Yuxin did not try to persuade Zhu Zhiquan to give up.

Just as Zhu Zhiquan was about to rely on his own strength to climb back onto the ground, the edge of the crevice expanded again, right beneath Zhu Zhiquan's palms. In an instant, Zhu Zhiquan lost his footing and fell down along with Zhao Yuxin.

When Zhu Zhiquan opened his eyes again, he discovered that he was actually not dead yet, and Zhao Yuxin was lying beside him, seemingly still unconscious.

Zhu Zhiquan surveyed his surroundings; not far away were their Tricycle and the supplies Zhao Yuxin had dropped. After observing carefully, Zhu Zhiquan discovered that neither the Tricycle nor the supplies dropped by Zhao Yuxin were damaged.

He looked up and saw light coming from above; the height of the light was at least a hundred meters. That he had fallen from such a height and was completely fine left Zhu Zhiquan extremely astonished.

However, now was not the time for astonishment; he hurriedly woke Zhao Yuxin up. "Wake up, wake up quickly!" Under his calling, Zhao Yuxin slowly came to.

She looked around in a daze, "Where is this? Are we still alive?"

Zhu Zhiquan explained the current situation, which left Zhao Yuxin extremely astonished as well.

"You mean to say, we fell from a hundred-meter height and are not only completely fine, but the things I dropped earlier and the Tricycle are also completely undamaged!"

Zhu Zhiquan nodded. Zhao Yuxin, as if unable to believe it, went over to the Tricycle to examine it carefully and asked in confusion: "Strange, even if it didn't break from the fall, this Tricycle should have been totaled before it fell! This isn't scientific!"

At this moment, the system announcement sounded: "Hello, players. Are you all wondering if you are still alive?"

"Oh, I already said this is this system's game. How is it? Is this game fun? Now, please step back onto your journey. I wish you a pleasant time."

After hearing the system announcement, the two cursed out loud simultaneously, and they didn't stop until it was dark.

While tidying up, Zhao Yuxin asked: "Little brother, why did you risk your life to save me?"

Zhu Zhiquan: "It's not important."

"Not important?" Zhao Yuxin leaned her face toward Zhu Zhiquan, "If it's not important, why did you save me? I don't believe it."

Zhu Zhiquan just silently installed the sunshade. Zhao Yuxin changed the subject: "We haven't opened any food or drink along this journey; let's open a few more and see if we can get some food."

Zhu Zhiquan nodded. Before long, the two set off again, and Zhao Yuxin sat in the back watching the information on the World Channel.

Princess Who Loves Milk Tea: "Woooo, I was truly scared to death. My teammate threw me off the vehicle while pedaling the tricycle. If this hadn't been a joke played by the system, I would definitely be dead by now."

Station Master Who Loves Lifting: "The person above, stop talking. Who could have guessed that the crevice would accelerate? During the first acceleration, I thought I could outrun it with my own speed. Who could have guessed that this damn thing would accelerate again!"

Huahua: "Everyone, when I was escaping the crevice earlier, I kicked my roommate off. Now my roommate and I are on the same vehicle again. Do you think we can make up?"

…………

By the time it was deep into the night, Zhu Zhiquan and Zhao Yuxin had opened a total of fifteen treasure chests. Among them were five loaves of bread, four bottles of water, four units of wood, one unit of metal, and one Backpack Blueprint.

Name: Backpack Blueprint

Introduction: Craft a regular backpack that allows you to increase your load capacity.

Materials: Buli 20 or Animal Hide 5

"It's about time to rest; come, eat something." Zhao Yuxin handed Zhu Zhiquan a piece of bread and a bottle of water.

The two had just finished eating and intended to rest when a wolf howl gave them both a start.

They saw three wolves with glowing green eyes flickering in the darkness not far away, slowly closing in on them.

Zhao Yuxin said tremblingly: "Hmph, so it's just three Wild Wolves. I can wipe them all out in a minute!"

Zhu Zhiquan looked at her trembling legs and didn't quite believe it. Zhao Yuxin continued to put on a brave front: "What? You don't believe me? Let me tell you, these mere three Wild Wolves are a piece of cake for me!" As she spoke, she kept hiding behind Zhu Zhiquan.

"Help me hold one off." Zhu Zhiquan dropped this sentence and charged toward the Wild Wolves, which left Zhao Yuxin extremely astonished.

"Hey! At least take a piece of wood!" Zhao Yuxin reminded him from behind, but unfortunately, Zhu Zhiquan didn't listen and still charged at the Wild Wolves empty-handed.

Seeing that Zhu Zhiquan not only didn't run but dared to charge at them, when one Wild Wolf bit toward Zhu Zhiquan's neck, Zhu Zhiquan dodged to the side and slammed a fist into the face of the Wild Wolf behind it.

The third Wild Wolf bit toward Zhu Zhiquan's waist from the flank, but was instead countered by Zhu Zhiquan, who used a flying knee strike to pin it against a wall.

Seeing that Zhu Zhiquan's strength was a bit high, the Wild Wolves became more cautious. They communicated with each other and decided that one would be responsible for attacking the female two-legged beast in the back.

"Are you looking down on me! Ah! Are you looking down on me!" Zhao Yuxin picked up a piece of wood to use as a weapon, "Just sending one to look down on me, right! You little Wild Wolves, watch how I handle you!"

When a Wild Wolf pounced right in front of Zhao Yuxin, Zhao Yuxin immediately lost her composure and hid in terror behind the Tricycle. The Wild Wolf jumped onto the vehicle, and just as it poked its head to the other side, Zhao Yuxin gave it a whack on the spot.

The Wild Wolf saw stars on the spot. Zhao Yuxin then jumped next to the Wild Wolf and kicked it; the Wild Wolf was kicked off immediately.

The Wild Wolf rolled on the ground a few times and looked at Zhao Yuxin with a cautious expression.

"Ho, how's that! I'm amazing, right!" Zhao Yuxin said, her whole body trembling.

"Awoo~" The Wild Wolf let out a loud roar and then lunged forcefully at Zhao Yuxin. The speed was so fast that Zhao Yuxin didn't even have time to react before she was pounced to the ground, after which it opened its big mouth, wanting to bite through Zhao Yuxin's neck.

At the critical moment, Zhao Yuxin timely used the wood to prop up the Wild Wolf's neck. The Wild Wolf continued to exert force, constantly pressing its head down. At the same time, Zhu Zhiquan used his elbow to smash the waist of one Wild Wolf; that Wild Wolf could only flap its upper body, making its final struggle.

"Save me, little brother, save me!"

Hearing Zhao Yuxin's cry for help, Zhu Zhiquan grabbed the Wild Wolf with the smashed waist, spun around, and smashed it fiercely into the Wild Wolf that was pinning Zhao Yuxin down. The two wolves collided and both howled in pain.

The Wild Wolf near Zhu Zhiquan saw that the situation was bad and wanted to run away, but just as it turned around, it felt its tail being grabbed. Before it could turn its head, it was thrown twice in a row, and finally, it was lifted over someone's head and smashed down fiercely.

Crack!

Zhu Zhiquan used his knee to shatter its waist, leaving the Wild Wolf's lower body crippled. The last Wild Wolf with a normal body had just stood up when it was mounted from behind by Zhao Yuxin, who began outputting crazy attacks.

"Die! Die! Die..." Zhao Yuxin struck violently with the wood repeatedly. The Wild Wolf felt the pain and shook its body frantically, trying to throw her off.

Unfortunately, Zhao Yuxin clamped her legs tightly, and no matter how it shook, it couldn't shake her off.

The Wild Wolf on the side dragged its broken body, wanting to crawl away from the side, when suddenly a great force came from behind it, smashing it down. As soon as it raised its head, it saw the other Wild Wolf, also with a smashed waist, looking tremblingly toward what was behind it.

That Wild Wolf turned its head and actually saw Zhu Zhiquan moving his wrists and walking slowly toward it. The two Wild Wolves made whimpering sounds, seemingly telling Zhu Zhiquan not to come closer.

Two minutes later, Zhao Yuxin panted heavily and said: "Hmph, I said it was just a little Wild Wolf... I... handled it! How about that? Now you know... how amazing I am!"

Zhu Zhiquan: "Huff— I'll take the first half of the night."

Zhao Yuxin didn't try to be tough this time and peacefully entered dreamland.
