Chapter 165 Raiding the Bandits
The He family members looked at each other for a moment, then sat down nervously.
At this moment, the wolf king muttered something to his subordinates, then ran to Yunyi's side and became her backrest.
He Zhou glanced at Yun Yi with a complicated expression, then lowered his head. However, the two little ones, He Jiang and He Tian, were unusually excited. Far from being afraid, they stared at the wolf king with great curiosity.
Yunyi couldn't sleep anymore because of the two little guys staring at her, so she opened her eyes and waved to them: "Come on over if you're not scared."
The two looked at each other, then happily ran over.
The wolf king bared its teeth at them.
The two were taken aback, but they weren't afraid. They even tried to touch it, but their hands didn't dare to go down.
Yunyi simply took their hands and placed them on Sixteen's head: "The Wolf King is a friend now, you can pet him."
The two little ones were immediately satisfied.
"Sleep against it," Yunyi gestured.
The two of them really did lean against the wolf king.
Night fell quickly, and suddenly, the wolves surrounding them stirred, and everyone hurriedly opened their eyes.
"Boss, someone's here," Luo Yu whispered as he approached.
"Okay." Yunyi nodded. "Let's see how things go. If anything happens, you protect them and get out of there first."
Luo Yu nodded: "Okay."
Soon, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard clearly, growing louder as they approached. The riders were all wielding large swords, which gleamed in the moonlight.
“They must be bandits,” Luo Yu said.
These places are often infested with bandits, and it's common for them to rob people on the road or break into homes. Sand bandits hide in the desert and are even harder to catch than mountain bandits.
The bandits had already surrounded them, but before they could do anything, they heard a wolf howl.
Then, the howling of wolves echoed all around.
The bandits were stunned. They had noticed these people; they came from Tianyang City, were well-dressed, and had horses. They thought they might be easy prey, but...
Were all these people pre-selected by the wolves?
But that shouldn't be the case, there's no bloody smell at all.
Just as the bandits were stunned, the Wolf King stood up and walked over gracefully.
The horses became very restless.
"If you don't want to be killed by the wolves, leave your valuables behind." Yunyi followed the wolf king over, slightly raising her head to look at the bandits on horseback.
"you……"
"You all gave me quite a fright, I need to calm down a bit," Yunyi smiled. "Are you going to do it yourselves or should I?"
"Brothers, don't be scared by this little wench. Take her back and let the brothers have some fun." The bandit leader had calmed down and didn't believe that this woman could command the wolves. "Light the torches."
The other bandits were also startled when they heard this. That's right, these twenty-odd of them had encountered wolf packs before, and in the end, they all became wolf pelts.
He Zhou instinctively wanted to stand in front of Yun Yi, but stopped after a few steps, then gave a self-deprecating laugh. He, a frail scholar, actually wanted to protect someone? Simply...
"Thank you." Yunyi turned to look at him, "However, I'm very strong."
He Zhou touched his nose sheepishly, then nodded.
At this moment, the bandits had lit their torches, illuminating the surroundings brightly.
Wolves are afraid of fire; this is common knowledge since ancient times.
But the bandits probably never expected that these wolves were no ordinary wolves. They were wolves enhanced by the spiritual spring water, and their intelligence had reached a new level. Although they were still afraid of fire, they knew how to deal with it cleverly.
Although the wolf pack was smaller than the bandits, they did not engage in direct confrontation. Instead, they would first frighten the horses, and once the horses had thrown the riders to the ground, they would suddenly rush over and bite them.
Luo Yu glanced at Yun Yi, and then joined the battle.
"Boss, how strong are these wolves?" Sixteen asked Yunyi while fighting.
"It looks alright." Yun Yi stood there watching the chaotic scene.
【Hey, don't compare these wolves to your old pet bear. That was a special wolf breed from another plane; it's unlikely to appear in this world.】
Yunyi was slightly dazed. Da Xiong was a pet she had rescued in a Republic of China era. At first, she thought it was a dog, but later she found out that it was actually a mutated wolf with an intelligence comparable to that of a five-year-old child. In the end, it sacrificed itself to save Yunyi from the enemy's guns.
[Boss, stop spacing out, the battle is over.] Sixteen waited for a while without getting a response from Yunyi, so he called out again.
When Yunyi came to her senses, she found that all twenty-odd bandits were lying on the ground. Some had their legs bitten off, while others had half of their buttocks torn off. In short, none of them were dead, but they had all lost their fighting ability.
"That's good, I'll reward you later." Yunyi said, then stepped forward to the bandit leader.
"Still want to have fun?"
"Lady, spare my life..."
Yunyi bent down and began to search the people's belongings.
Luo Yu rushed over to help, and the He family members, after a moment of surprise, also gathered around, and one by one, they robbed the bandits.
"Hehe." Yunyi seemed a little embarrassed. "Well... these people deserve to die, but these things are innocent. Besides, I have a large family to support, and I'm short of money."
The He family members all nodded in agreement, especially Madam Liang, who still showed a pained expression.
Yunyi could only touch her nose speechlessly.
The bandits were out to rob, so they didn't carry much valuables. They only found a little over a hundred taels of silver in total, but the weapons and horses were all high-quality items.
The horses scattered in fright and fled, but the wolves quickly brought them back.
As for the weapons, they were wrapped in rags and tied to the roof of the vehicle.
Of course, the moment she placed it, Yunyi transferred the weapon into her spatial dimension.
After we finished tidying up, the sky began to lighten slightly.
After everyone had a simple breakfast, Yunyi prepared another basin of water with added spiritual spring water for the wolves. After they finished drinking, she set off to leave.
As for those bandits, let fate decide.
The wolf pack followed and escorted them to the outskirts of Black City before stopping.
"Sister Yun, aren't they coming back with us?" He Zhou couldn't help but ask Yun Yi.
“They’re wolves, it’ll be dangerous for them if they go into the city.” Yunyi patted his little head. “But the wolf king will come looking for us later, and then… he can be our pet wolf, and you and Ajiang can take care of him, okay?”
"Okay." The two little ones nodded hurriedly.
Before they knew it, they had arrived near the quarry where the earlier brawl had taken place.
