We agreed that I would be married off to a short-lived general, but why is my husband so powerful?

Wen Rushi and Xiang Ying were women from the Great Jin Dynasty, and their appearances were far more outstanding than those of women who grew up on the grasslands.

Now, in such a harsh environment, being with a group of men, it's only natural that he would be coveted.

Traveling across the grasslands in snowy weather, even with ample preparation, presents considerable challenges for the group's survival.

Under such pressure, physically strong men always want to vent in order to relieve this pressure.

Therefore, as time went on, those people became increasingly restless.

The way the man looked at Wen Rushi and the other man became increasingly disgusting.

If it weren't for those leaders suppressing those people, it goes without saying what they would have faced.

"I'll listen to whatever my sister-in-law says," Xiang Ying wrote in Wen Rushi's palm.

She wished the wolves would kill all the men outside.

The two pretended not to know anything and lay down again.

"How many wolves are there?" Xiang Ying listened for a while but heard no sound, so she couldn't help but write in Wen Rushi's palm again.

There were people guarding outside the tent; she didn't want them to hear their conversation.

It would be such a pity if they found out and prepared in advance.

I wonder if thirty grown men outside are enough to feed those wolves?

If those wolves have eaten their fill, they probably won't eat her and her sister-in-law anymore, right?

"Not many." Wen Rushi wrote only two words.

Xiang Ying was immediately disappointed.

A moment later, the howling of wolves could be heard in the distance.

There was a commotion outside immediately.

A group of people were chattering away, and the aunt and sister-in-law couldn't understand a word they were saying.

However, it's easy to guess that they've discovered a pack of wolves and are making preparations.

For a time, no one came to their tent to inform them.

Wen Rushi was happy to have some peace and quiet, since their tents were always placed in the middle whenever they set up camp to prevent them from escaping.

Hearing this, he was not worried.

She quietly observed the outside world with her divine sense.

After a pack of wolves showed up on the east side, another pack of wolves appeared on the south slope at some unknown time, and there seemed to be quite a few of them.

Before Wen Rushi could even see the number, wolf howls came from the north and east.

Hearing this, he paused for a moment.

She didn't even need to count; the number of wolves had already far exceeded one hundred!

It seems like all the wolves on the entire grassland have come.

The fire outside the tent was burning brightly.

More than thirty men, each wielding a weapon, stood facing the wolves from a distance.

Normally, wolves are afraid of fire and know that these grassland barbarians are not to be trifled with, so they would not easily provoke these grassland warriors.

But who told these wolves to be so hungry!

It has been snowing for six days straight.

It only stopped for one or two nights.

But the grassland was still covered in white.

Snow was everywhere, and there was nowhere to eat.

Sure enough, this group of people who were still on their way were targeted by these wolves.

People were surrounded from all sides.

Wen Rushi was worried that Xiang Ying would be frightened, so he did not tell her the number of wolves.

There are over thirty barbarians outside; they should be able to handle some of them.

At worst, she could just take Xiang Ying and escape.

I don't care whether those people live or die.

The two remained unmoved.

Wen Rushi and the other two hadn't put up much resistance, and Ehaduo and the others hadn't considered having them kill the wolves together.

Firstly, it shows a disdain for women.

I felt that the two women wouldn't be of much use.

Secondly, they were also worried that Wen Rushi and the other man might take the opportunity to escape.

Or they might get eaten by wolves, which would ruin the leader's plans and have consequences they couldn't afford.

No one came to call on Wen Rushi and his companion to fight off the wolf pack.

They pretended not to know anything when they heard this.

The howls of wolves grew closer and more numerous.

The group, who had initially been full of confidence, couldn't help but start to feel apprehensive when they saw the more than one hundred wolves.

Can those thirty men handle more than a hundred wolves?

However, they had no choice but to think about it.

There was no time to do anything.

Soon, their encampment was surrounded by wolves.

Wolves were everywhere—in all directions, in front, behind, left, right, east, west, and north.

The wolf pack's encirclement gradually tightened.

Until the two sides were no more than 100 meters apart.

After a loud howl, the wolf pack attacked.

The howls of wolves, the sound of knives piercing flesh and cutting into bone, and the sounds of wolves fighting with humans echoed across the vast grasslands.

With no one guarding outside the tent, Xiang Ying finally couldn't help but speak. She whispered, "Sister-in-law, do you think they can defeat those wolves?"

Although Wen Rushi did not tell her how many wolves there were.

Judging from the howling of wolves coming from all directions, it's obvious that there are quite a few wolves outside.

Xiang Ying was somewhat worried that those people wouldn't be able to defeat the wolves, and that the wolves would find a way to find them.

Just as Xiang Ying was speaking, a chaotic battle broke out outside, and several wolves rushed towards the tent inside.

"Don't speak." Wen Rushi put a spiritual energy shield around their tent to prevent the wolves from detecting their presence.

As soon as the spiritual energy shield appeared, the two wolves, who had been following the scent and rushing towards the two people, suddenly lost their target and wandered around the tents like headless flies.

Xiang Ying stared intently at the wolf shadow on the tent, covering her mouth and barely daring to breathe.

Of course she wasn't afraid of a wolf.

But she was afraid that if she killed this wolf, a pack of wolves would come.

She was very self-aware; she could handle a few wolves, but a pack of wolves? She'd better stay away!

She didn't even dare to ask a question about the halo surrounding them.

Wen Rushi's aura only covered the two of them, not the entire tent.

Xiang Ying could naturally see it.

After an unknown amount of time, the wolves outside the tent finally left.

Wen Rushi then explained in a low voice, "Don't worry, this spiritual energy circle can isolate auras. As long as we don't let it see us, we'll be fine."

The sounds of fighting outside showed no sign of abating.

The howls of wolves and screams of agony were incessant.

Ritu saw wolves running towards the tent behind them, but he didn't stop them. A hint of schadenfreude and glee flashed across his face.

Just as he was distracted, a hungry wolf pounced on him and bit his unharmed hand that was holding the knife.

The other hand is missing fingers and is injured.

His hand holding the knife was bitten, and he immediately lost his fighting ability.

Seeing their chance, the other wolves immediately pounced on him.

In the blink of an eye, five or six hungry wolves were attached to him, and in no time, he was pounced on.

The heart-wrenching screams rang out again.

Unfortunately, right now everyone is struggling to protect themselves, let alone save others.

With no one to help, the screams grew weaker and weaker.

And just like that, in less than a quarter of an hour, the sound stopped.

The person who was struggling just moments ago has fallen completely silent.

This scene is playing out everywhere.

Thirty-odd burly men were a lot, but they couldn't withstand the wolves' sheer numbers!

However, being true warriors of the grasslands, after the initial chaos, they quickly united to kill the wolves.
