81: wolf pack

"Oh, more delicious food!"

After Qin Shou left, Nuo Nuo sat alone in the cave, eating roasted wolf meat.

It's worth noting that although Nuo Nuo looked like a little girl of five or six years old, and wasn't big, her appetite was incredibly large; she single-handedly ate an entire roasted wolf clean.

Even so, Nuo Nuo, stroking her slightly bulging little belly, still felt somewhat unsatisfied.

"Burp—"

Nuo Nuo let out a satisfied burp, smacking her lips, still savoring the delicious taste of the wolf meat.

Just then, Nuo Nuo heard several low growls of wild wolves coming from the cave entrance.

Hearing the wolf growls, Nuo Nuo wasn't scared; instead, she was Joyful, narrowing her eyes, which shone with excitement, instantly becoming thrilled.

"La la la, eating roasted meat, eating roasted meat!"

Nuo Nuo skipped and hopped, joyfully rushing out of the cave entrance.

These wild wolves were originally aggressive, but unexpectedly, upon seeing Nuo Nuo suddenly walk out of the cave, they immediately became timid, like mice seeing a cat, and dared not approach Nuo Nuo; instead, they tucked their tails, growled, and retreated a few steps, their eyes filled with apprehension and fear.

"Hehe, I'll catch one first to drink some blood."

Nuo Nuo extended her chubby little hand, grabbing at the empty air, intending to snatch a wild wolf to suck its blood, but then she suddenly remembered something, and her little hand stopped in mid-air.

"Big Brother said that eating raw meat and drinking blood is something only primitive people do. If I suck blood, Big Brother will definitely be angry."

Nuo Nuo propped her pink chin with her little finger, tilted her head, thought for a moment, and muttered to herself, "Hehe, never mind, I'll just roast them to eat. The last one is gone, and Big Brother only ate one wolf leg, so he definitely isn't full. I'll roast one for Big Brother."

Saying this, Nuo Nuo intended to point a finger, planning to summon a ball of flame to directly roast these wild wolves and eat them.

"Nuo Nuo!"

However, before Nuo Nuo could make her move, she heard Qin Shou's urgent shout from a distance. Nuo Nuo instinctively looked up and saw Qin Shou running quickly towards her.

"Little girl, don't move around, we're here to save you."

Yang Weiguo saw a delicate and lovely little girl surrounded by a pack of wild wolves, a very dangerous situation. Being a chivalrous person, he became anxious and, without much thought, immediately pulled out his pistol and fired two shots at the wild wolf approaching Nuo Nuo, directly killing the one closest to her.

"Awoo!"

Unexpectedly, Yang Weiguo's action completely enraged the pack of wild wolves. Although these wolves feared Nuo Nuo, they showed no fear towards Yang Weiguo and the others.

The Alpha Wolf let out a high-pitched howl towards the sky, and the pack of wild wolves immediately surged like a tide, pouncing towards Qin Shou and the others.

"Xiao Min, back to back, protect each other's backs!"

Yang Weiguo, as expected of a Criminal Police Officer who frequently carried out dangerous missions, reacted quickly and calmly, immediately instructing Xue Min to cover each other.

As he spoke, he raised his pistol and fired a volley at the charging wild wolves, and several wolves instantly fell to the ground.

But the wolf pack numbered more than thirty, and they were fast, instantly rushing over and completely surrounding the three.

Qin Shou stood with his hands in his pockets, his expression composed. He was now at Yellow Rank Peak Great Perfection strength, and as long as they didn't all attack him alone, a mere dozen wild wolves were no match for him.

Qin Shou raised his leg and delivered a kick, a whistling gust of wind accompanying it. With a cracking sound of bone, he directly kicked down a wild wolf charging at him, which immediately foamed at the mouth and died on the spot.

On the other side, Yang Weiguo and Xue Min also showed no weakness, firing their guns continuously, successfully repelling several wild wolves trying to approach.

However, this pack of wild wolves was also experienced; hearing the gunshots, they immediately adopted harassment tactics. They ran quickly and erratically, circling around, looking for opportunities to ambush. Yang Weiguo's marksmanship was still quite good, and in this situation, he had already shot and killed two.

But although Xue Min tried her best to aim and shoot, her marksmanship was still a bit lacking. Moreover, it was her first time on such a highly dangerous mission, and she had never fought criminals on the front lines, so she was a bit nervous. For a moment, her shooting was a bit chaotic, and she didn't hit a single shot.

It was in this instant that a wild wolf seized the opening created by Xue Min's panic. It quickly approached from the side and then pounced fiercely towards Xue Min's arm. If it had truly bitten down, Xue Min's arm would likely have been crippled on the spot.

"Be careful!"

Fortunately, Qin Shou reacted quickly. After dealing with the few wild wolves around him, he still had energy. Seeing Xue Min being pounced on by a wild wolf, he rushed over without a word, grabbed Xue Min by the waist, pulled her behind him, dodging the wolf's attack, and then casually delivered a punch, directly finishing off this wild wolf.

"You're not allowed to hurt Big Brother!"

Nuo Nuo saw that this pack of wild wolves dared to pounce on Qin Shou, and she was instantly enraged. Her originally clear and bright little eyes flashed with an eerie red glow, and a terrifying murderous aura erupted from her petite body like a volcanic eruption, instantly spreading over a radius of more than ten meters.

This yin-sha energy was extremely powerful, carrying a suffocating sense of oppression, instantly causing the surrounding temperature to drop by several degrees.

Even Qin Shou, from a distance, felt a chill shoot from his feet to his head, and couldn't help but feel a bit of trepidation.

"Woof... woof... woof..."

The wild wolves were scared out of their wits by the terrifying aura emanating from Nuo Nuo. Their originally fierce appearance instantly vanished, replaced by extreme fear.

The Alpha Wolf let out a few mournful growls, tucked its tail, and led the pack of wolves retreating rapidly into the dense forest like a tide.

"Strange, why did the wolf pack suddenly retreat?"

Yang Weiguo's face showed a hint of confusion. He didn't have Qigong, only ordinary external martial arts. Although he felt the surrounding temperature suddenly drop by a few degrees just now, he didn't directly feel the yin-sha energy from Nuo Nuo, so he was still a bit unclear about the situation.

However, despite not understanding why, he still let out a long sigh of relief, his taut nerves relaxed, and he put away his gun.

"Big Brother Qin, can you—can you let go!"

Just then, Xue Min's voice came, as faint as a mosquito's hum, thin as a wisp of silk. Her pretty face was as red as a ripe apple, luscious and delicate, and she shyly lowered her head, not daring to look at Qin Shou.

"Hehe, I was just trying to save you. In the heat of the moment, I might have been a bit presumptuous. My apologies."

In truth, even if Qin Shou hadn't touched Xue Min just now, he would have been able to save her from the wolf's mouth. His action of embracing her waist was purely to take advantage.

However, even so, when Qin Shou said this, he secretly activated his Skill [Skill], making Xue Min believe his nonsense.

Qin Shou reluctantly released Xue Min's soft, slender waist, and as he withdrew his hand, he didn't forget to gently pinch the tender flesh at Xue Min's waist, thinking to himself, "This girl is truly radiant and her figure is absolutely amazing. She's the type most men like, perfectly slightly plump, with curves in all the right places."

Xue Min naturally noticed Qin Shou's stealthy pinch. Her pretty face grew even redder, like a burning flame, and her eyes, filled with a reproachful gaze, also held a hint of shyness. She gave Qin Shou a glare, thinking, "You guy, you can't get enough of taking advantage of me!"

But for some reason, Xue Min felt a little sweet inside, and she liked the feeling of being taken advantage of by Qin Shou.

"I didn't expect Brother Qin to be so skilled. No wonder Mayor Ren valued you and asked you to be the bait. I, Yang Weiguo, am impressed."

Yang Weiguo was, after all, from the Criminal Police Team, so he naturally had good judgment. Qin Shou's swiftness and powerful strength in dealing with the wild wolves just now had left him dumbfounded, and he couldn't help but secretly praise him.

Before, he had doubts about why Ren Jing would let Qin Shou be the bait, but now, having seen Qin Shou's abilities, his doubts vanished.
