953. Chapter 951: Vividly Remembered

He never expected that he would actually attract a pack of wild wolves.

At this moment, those wild wolves also discovered the indigenous people, becoming even more excited and fierce.

Howl! A wild wolf opened its mouth and snarled, its bloody maw gaping wide, as if it wanted to devour a person's heart.

"Run!"

The Liu strong man's face drastically changed; he immediately grabbed Lu Yuan and tried to turn and run.

But Lu Yuan refused to leave.

Because Lu Yuan and his sibling had both followed him from Lujiacun.

Fighting side by side, sharing hardships—how could he abandon them and flee alone!

Boom! A wild wolf lunged forward, instantly knocking the Liu strong man flying and smashing him to the ground.

Lu Yuan was also knocked to the ground.

"Little Yuan Brother!"

Lu Yuan shouted loudly, wanting to help Lu Yuan up, but was instead pounced on by another wild wolf, which tore at his neck.

Blood spattered everywhere, shrill screams rang out, chaos ensued! Meanwhile, Lu Yuan sat dazed on the ground.

All he could hear were the wolves' howls; the scene before his eyes left him completely dazed.

At this point, Lu Yuan could no longer tell what was happening.

Not only had he encountered the wolf pack, but he had also lost his only companion.

"Little Yuan, I'm sorry, Little Yuan Brother has let you down……"

Lu Yuan muttered to himself, his voice growing weaker until he finally slipped into unconsciousness.

And in his mind, one memory after another surfaced.

In his childhood, he was picked up by his grandfather and brought home.

Back then, his grandfather doted on him even more, even giving him a nickname.

"Little Yuan, my son is just a blockhead—he doesn't study writing and runs around all day."

"But you're smarter than him; Grandfather said that if you had half your parents' cleverness, you would have already passed the child scholar examination."

……

Lu Yuan then continued on the path of searching for demonic beasts.

But he was only six years old then; even with his grandfather's protection, he still endured much hardship.

Finally, when he was thirteen years old.

Lu Yuan finally succeeded in hunting down a tiger-leopard.

This deed was praised by the village head, who even gave Lu Yuan a monetary reward.

However, Lu Yuan became jealous because of this.

Taking advantage of Lu Yuan's martial arts practice, he sneakily knocked him unconscious and seized all the demonic beast meat.

This incident remains vividly etched in Lu Yuan's memory to this day.

He had originally thought this matter was over.

But he never expected that five years ago, his grandfather fell ill and died, and he and his father fell into decline.

Eventually, his father, left with no choice, brought him away from the village to make a living in the town.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan inherited the village head's position.

And all of this is thanks to Lu Yuan.

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.

"You dare hurt my nephew—I'll fight you to the death!"

Just then, a sudden violent shout rang out.

Soon Lu Yuan saw that his uncle, Lu Yuan, had already climbed to his feet, wielding a cleaver and striking at the black wolf.

Crack!

At this moment, Lu Yuan felt icy cold all over, his mind going blank.

But Lu Yuan grew braver the more he hacked.

His eyes were blood-red, hatred surging.

At this point, he seemed to have gone mad, hacking and slashing wildly, fighting frenziedly.

Plop!

Finally, a single slash struck the black wolf's back, instantly splitting its skin and flesh, shattering its bones, and a gush of bright red blood spurted out.

"Awoo!"

The black wolf let out a mournful howl, then collapsed straight to the ground, lifeless.

"Lu Yuan, I know you hate me, but I was also forced into this."

Lu Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, panting heavily:

"Although we have moved out of Lujiacun, the village head is still the village head; if we don't obey his orders, we might bring disaster upon ourselves!"

"You don't need to explain!"

Lu Yuan forced himself to calm down.

"This time we've provoked the wolf pack; we must leave immediately." "Otherwise, if they surround us, none of us will escape!"

Lu Yuan at this moment forcibly restrained his inner grief and spoke up to remind them.

"Huh? Lu Yuan, what did you say?"

At this moment, Lu Yuan's uncle had just risen to his feet, hearing this he was stunned and somewhat doubtful.

At this moment, those several hundred wild wolves were also less than two meters away from Lu Yuan and three people.

That stench made people want to vomit.

"Run!"

Lu Yuan's heart sank, and he quickly spoke up to warn.

"Lu Yuan, hurry up and run!"

Lu Yuan's great-uncle also sensed something was wrong, immediately shouted loudly, and dragged Lu Yuan as they ran.

Lu Yuan's stamina was too poor; he simply couldn't run.

At this point, only his last breath clung to his life.

Soon the wild wolves caught up! "Little Yuan, I'm sorry!"

Lu Yuan turned his head to glance at Lu Yuan, his eye sockets reddening.

But just then, an abrupt change occurred!

Boom! A deafening explosion sounded.

Afterward, the wild wolves all over the mountains and fields actually stopped in unison.

At this moment, all sounds ceased.

Only Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan, and a dead black wolf remained!

"What happened!"

At this moment, even though Lu Yuan was knowledgeable and experienced, he was dazed.

Only saw that the surrounding dense wolf corpses actually moved forward in unison, revealing a look of apprehension.

Immediately afterward, in Lu Yuan's field of vision.

A huge creature about three zhang tall, its whole body engulfed in blazing flames, strode slowly forward.

This ferocious beast stood seven or eight zhang tall, its body like an iron tower, emitting a terrifying killing aura.

It was none other than a tiger!

This flame tiger was enormous in size, comparable to a calf, its fur all reddish-brown, giving a feeling of heaviness.

Moreover, its eyes were sharp as steel needles; wherever its gaze swept, people dared not meet its eyes.

At this moment, the flame tiger slowly approached, causing those wild wolves to dodge repeatedly, unwilling to get near.

"Flame tiger? Why has it come here?"

Lu Yuan's pupils contracted, his spirit trembled, and he was horrified to the point of despair.

The flame tiger is the king deep in the mountain range, possessing great deterrent power; ordinary wild beasts, upon seeing it, will submit and kneel, not daring to resist.

It is said that an adult flame tiger can easily destroy a street.

Even an adult flame tiger possesses overwhelming strength, and is even capable of fighting and killing a fierce tiger.

There have been records of a living flame tiger slaughtering an army as easily as butchering pigs and chickens.

"Little Yuan, don't worry, this flame tiger should not attack us."

At this moment, Lu Yuan turned his head to comfort Lu Yuan.

At the same time, he stared grimly at the flame tiger.

The appearance of the flame tiger filled Lu Yuan with great surprise and joy.

He never expected to have such luck.

On the other hand, Lu Yuan felt somewhat uncertain.

Although the flame tiger did not attack the two of them, he always felt that things would not be so simple.

But at this moment, Lu Yuan had already excitedly charged toward that flame tiger.

Bang! Before Lu Yuan could come to his senses, Lu Yuan was violently knocked flying.

He was covered in wounds, bleeding profusely.

Meanwhile, the flame tiger paid no attention to him at all.

Instead, it lowered its head to lick the wound between its claws, as if not in a hurry to hunt.

"Little Yuan, I'll help you avenge and settle the score!"

At this moment, Lu Yuan could no longer contain his excited emotions, waving the kitchen knife in his hand, and charged again at the flame tiger.

Clang! The next moment, Lu Yuan only felt a pain in his tiger's mouth, almost unable to hold onto the kitchen knife.

But just then, the flame tiger lifted its head and looked over.

Only see that within its deep blue eyes lay a hint of mockery and ridicule.
