Practical teaching: Starting from the soul traveling through Dragon Garden

Chapter 313: Fighting the Wolf
"How to do?"

Horikita was panicked for a moment and could only ask Ryuen helplessly. If Ryuen really had a way, he would have implemented it long ago, and there was no need for Horikita to ask.

"Quiet."

Long Yuan was also helpless. In this situation, anyone could only sit there and wait for death. There was no way to escape, as a two-legged person could not outrun a four-legged wolf.

The wolves pressed forward step by step, and before they knew it, they were getting closer and closer to Ryuen and Horikita. Their ferocious fangs were revealed in the moonlight, steam came out of their hot and wet tongues, and their saliva dripped into the sand, making a small dent.

Ryuuen swallowed his saliva. He couldn't just sit there and wait to die. His brain was frantically thinking of countermeasures. The wolves were pressing forward. Ryuuen could only pull Horikita's hand and push back. However, the wolves formed a circle and there were wolves behind them.

The situation was really bad. As the distance got closer, Long Yuan could already see the faces of each wolf under the moonlight. There were nine wolves in total.

And the Wolf King was among them. Ryuuen could judge with great certainty that the wolf facing him was the Wolf King.

It was creepy to look into the eyes of the wolf king. Long Yuan thought that there was still fire in the place where they cooked before, and these wolves must be afraid of fire.

The current position is not far from the fire, Long Yuan does not dare to act rashly, and can only move forward in that direction step by step. The wolves' patience has obviously been almost exhausted, and their pace is getting faster and faster.

"I'll stay here to hold them back, you go find a torch over to where the cooking is."

The two of them definitely couldn't escape, so Ryuuen planned to fight the wolves to the death to give Horikita a chance to escape. Even so, the hope was slim.

It’s not that Ryuen is sentimental and willing to sacrifice himself to save Horikita, but if the roles were reversed, with Horikita holding back the wolves and Ryuen escaping on his own, the chances of success would be even smaller.

After comprehensive consideration, Long Yuan still felt that he should try to gain as much hope as possible.

Although Long Yuan thought so in his heart, he did not say it out loud. A gentleman judges by deeds, not by heart.

In Horikita's eyes, Ryuuen was giving up his life for his own sake and to hold back the wolves. Doesn't this mean that he was feeding the wolves with his own body?
How can humans without weapons contain wolves?
"No! I'll hold them back, you go!"

In contrast to Ryuuen who was extremely rational, Horikita who usually looked so rational was now so emotional out of character, and the words he said were so childish and yet so resolute.

"You can't hold me back at all. I can hold out for at least two minutes. Two minutes is enough time for you to run to the cooking place, or you can run to the boat. Either way you choose, you can escape."

In Ryuuen's opinion, he would surely die if he stayed. If Horikita could escape, it would be fine whether she went to find a torch or escaped back to the boat, as long as she could be rescued. If possible, Ryuuen would prefer her to escape directly back to the boat. After all, if she came back with a torch and found that half of Ryuuen's body had been eaten by wolves, that would be too cruel, both for Ryuuen and Horikita.

In Horikita's opinion, there was almost no chance of escape. Even if Ryuuen could buy two minutes, would the wolves really attack Ryuuen at the same time? Wouldn't there be other wolves attacking him separately? With his own fighting power, he might be killed by just one wolf.

Rather than dying apart from Ryuuen, it is better to stay in the belly of the same wolf with Ryuuen. Although the ending is a bit tragic, there is nothing we can do about it. This is fate.

What is fate?
Ryuuen refuses to accept his fate, and Horikita's attitude is firm. It seems that he really wants to die with him, so let's choose a heroic death.

Long Yuan tensed all the muscles in his body. As long as he could kill a wolf, he would make a profit.

"Come on! Beast!"

He was just talking to Horikita in a low voice, but Ryuuen suddenly roared in the direction of the wolf pack!

The wolves stopped abruptly, as if responding to Long Yuan, the wolf king took the lead and roared, followed by the chorus of all the wolves. It was a familiar voice, Long Yuan had heard it countless times on the boat, but it was the first time he heard a live version, and the shock of the scene was no less than a concert.

At this time, Long Yuan had thrown his fear behind him. Adrenaline was secreted wildly, and he vowed to fight the wolves to the death.

"bring it on!"

Ryuuen roared again, his voice drowning out the waves. Even Horikita who was standing next to him was frightened by Ryuuen's voice. Although he was still speaking Japanese, Horikita felt that Ryuuen was howling like a wild beast.

Unexpectedly, in the face of Long Yuan's roar, the wolf pack did not respond, and the nine wolves did not attack Long Yuan at the same time. The wolf king just took a few steps forward and stared at Long Yuan fiercely.

Long Yuan grinned. If the wolves rushed forward, he would definitely lose. However, the wolf king's current behavior clearly showed that he wanted to fight him in a one-on-one duel.
Although Long Yuan didn't understand why the wolf pack, which was good at group fighting, would challenge him at this time, this result was the best for Long Yuan. If he was lucky, he might be able to kill the wolf king and the other wolves would run away. Of course, there was also a possibility that they would rush over and tear Long Yuan to pieces.

You must always have dreams. Without hope, how can you fight?

Since it's a one-on-one fight, Ryuuen naturally won't let Horikita help. Given Horikita's skills, it would be good enough if he didn't make things worse.

Horikita took two steps back, leaving some distance between Ryuuen and the Wolf King, but she didn't retreat too far. After all, there were still wolves behind her, and Horikita was also very scared.

"Can you win?"

Horikita felt a little reluctant, she wanted to hold Ryuuen back, but she couldn't do it. She knew that she couldn't stop it, and couldn't stop it. This was their only hope.

"Do you think you can win?"

Horikita was silent. She didn't want to answer.

"Then let me ask it another way. Do you want me to win?"

"Of course!"

This time, Horikita blurted out the answer without any hesitation.

Long Yuan scratched his hair: "Let's make a bet. If we can get out alive, you will let me kiss you."

Horikita was stunned. Why was Ryuen thinking about this at this tense moment? And why did he look so confident of winning? Could he really win?

Seeing that Horikita didn't answer, Ryuen suddenly changed the topic: "Just kidding, if we can survive, it will be the best outcome."

Ryuuen's tone was low, serious and earnest, and Horikita knew that Ryuuen was going to do his best.

There was no referee in the battle between man and wolf. When Ryuuen just took a step forward, the wolf king pounced on him, aiming for Ryuuen's neck.

Although Ryuuen reacted with his mind highly concentrated, he had no time to dodge and could only use his arms to block. The fangs pierced his skin and stabbed into Ryuuen's flesh like needles.

The bright red blood made the wolf even more excited, and the surrounding wolves also howled, as if they had already determined the outcome of the first round.
