Chapter 19 The Infant of a Peerless Hero
At this moment, the three of them were in dire straits; a single misstep could lead to their annihilation.
The academy teacher, seeing that the two girls, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, refused to leave, felt a surge of grief and indignation.
"Why won't you leave!" Despair crept onto the teacher's face. "Just now, with that one opening, I alone could have sacrificed myself, and you two could have survived!"
Actually, the moment she called the two children to leave was the perfect opportunity.
She was confident she could hold off all the wolf spirit beasts.
If she could buy them enough time, they would definitely survive.
But now it was impossible.
The wolf spirit beasts had gradually formed an encirclement.
Even if the academy teacher sacrificed herself now, it would likely be impossible for the two little beauties to escape.
The three of them stood back to back, looking at the wolf spirit beasts that had already formed a circle around them, knowing that they were doomed today.
"I shouldn't have been so arrogant. If I had brought two more teachers, dealing with these spirit beasts wouldn't have been a problem. Now…"
The academy teacher was filled with remorse.
Her own death didn't matter, but the burden she had placed on Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er was painful for her.
"Awooo!"
Just as the three women sensed something was wrong, the alpha wolf of the pack howled to the sky.
This howl caused the three women's expressions to change drastically.
This was likely the signal to attack.
Immediately, all the wolf spirit beasts surrounding the three women raised their heads and howled.
It seemed they were celebrating their imminent prey.
Among them, the wolf that howled the most enthusiastically was the one that had initially pretended to be seriously injured. It was the wolf
that had directly attracted the three women. If
the three women became its prey, it would have the leverage to ask the wolf king for a few more bites.
"Let's fight to the death,"
the female teacher from the academy took a deep breath and said to Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er beside her, "Perhaps I can still create some space for you to survive. Next time, when I call for you to leave, don't hesitate."
After all, she was a teacher at the Tianshui Academy of the Heavenly Dou Empire, so her strength was definitely not weak.
Apart from the alpha wolf, the individual strength of the other wolf spirit beasts in the wolf pack was inferior to the female teacher's.
However, they had the advantage of sheer numbers.
"Teacher…then you…" Shui Yue'er sobbed.
"Hesitation means defeat. One of my deaths is better than three of them dying," the academy teacher sighed. "Hopefully, the wolf king won't attack first. This is our only chance."
"As long as the wolf king holds back and lets the other wolves attack first, I can find an opportunity for you."
"Hmm…" Shui Bing'er knew this wasn't the time to be sentimental.
However, things always change unpredictably.
Originally, the wolf king should indeed hold back and let the other wolf spirit beasts pounce first.
This was the proper posture of a wolf king.
However, at this moment, the wolf king, after howling, actually pounced directly.
This wolf king of the pack actually attacked first!
And the surrounding wolves howled in unison, as if supporting the wolf king.
The academy teacher looked at the wolf king pouncing towards her, her heart sinking into an ice cave.
"It's over..."
She knew that none of the three of them would survive today.
But even so, she couldn't give up.
She was their teacher, the pillar of support for Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.
Immediately, she released her martial spirit, and a phantom of a sea turtle appeared behind her.
Her martial spirit excelled in defense,
so withstanding the wolf king's attack was no problem.
The wolf king, brimming with surging soul power, clashed directly with the academy teacher.
The collision of soul power created layers of wind pressure, slightly bewildering the two young beauties.
They watched their teacher's battle with the wolf king with great tension.
The other wolf spirit beasts behind them glared fiercely at them.
Although they didn't make any further moves, it was clear they wouldn't be given a chance to escape.
Their only hope was that their teacher could miraculously kill the wolf king and then escape with them. However, Shui Bing'er's beautiful wish was quickly shattered.
"Bang!"
A sound like shattering mirror rang out.
Under such immense pressure, the female teacher's defenses were shattered by the wolf king's claw.
Pale-faced, she retreated to Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er's side, unable to control her emotions any longer.
All three felt despair on each other's faces.
"It's over,"
the teacher said with a bitter smile, turning to hug the two little beauties. "Let me shield you one last time."
"Roar!"
The victorious wolf king howled arrogantly.
At this moment, all the wolf spirit beasts began to approach.
Every step of the wolf pack's encirclement felt like a countdown to death.
Just then, a figure descended from the sky.
"Eeya eeya, stop!"
At the three girls' most desperate moment, a tiny infant, seemingly just learning to stand, appeared between the wolf king and the three girls.
Upon seeing the infant, the three girls felt their brains shrink instantly.
???
An infant…?
This is the Star Dou Great Forest!
Why is there an infant here?!
This must be a ghost!
Seeing the infant Kang Wang not far from the baby,
Shui Bing'er couldn't bear to see a baby torn apart by the wolf king before her eyes. She immediately cried out, "Danger! Come to your sister!"
At least they had their teacher to protect the baby.
Although there was no chance of survival, at least they could ensure the baby died last.
However, the baby seemed not to hear her at all, showing no reaction to the approaching wolf king.
It's over...
All the wolf spirit beasts bared their teeth and charged forward. The three women's hearts clenched.
Were they going to watch the baby be torn to pieces by sharp teeth?
It was too bloody...
Shui Yue'er shrank back into Shui Bing'er's arms in fear.
This was such a cute baby...
The three women couldn't bear to look.
At this moment, Xiao Qinfeng had arrived at the very center of the battlefield. Looking at the still charging wolf pack, he smiled calmly.
The Heart of the Demonic Dragon throbbed!
The dragon's pressure instantly emanated.
"Thump thump!"
A strong heartbeat sounded.
The three women suddenly noticed that all the wolf spirit beasts, upon hearing that heartbeat, wore expressions of terror.
Especially the wolf king.
Just moments before, the arrogant wolf king, upon seeing the infant, acted as if it were its long-dead great-grandmother, barking in fear.
At this moment, all the wolf spirit beasts moved in perfect unison. They
braked abruptly!
They swerved back!
Their movements were so comical, like a pack of dogs encountering a lion.
Not only that, the pack didn't dare to scatter and flee immediately. Instead, after creating some distance, they prostrated themselves before the infant!
The wolf king also retreated several steps before kneeling in submission.
"Ah…
what is this?!"
The three women's faces were filled with shock, their mouths almost agape.
This was the first time they had seen so many spirit beasts so terrified of a small infant.
The spirit beasts that had almost cornered them had retreated so easily?
