Free Web NovelChapter 86: Chapter 86: Wuwu, It’s Langlang
Just as Mo Lingwei’s eyes filled with killing intent, the tall grass was pushed aside.
The guard who had fallen earlier hobbled out.
He was injured somewhere. By the moonlight, Shen Ningning could see that one side of his face was covered in blood.
He must have scraped his neck when he fell, and his voice was now hoarse.
"Crown Prince... Crown Prince... are you nearby?" He had followed the smell of smoke.
Shen Ningning breathed a sigh of relief. "It’s the guard!"
Mo Lingwei took her hand, ready to step out.
When the guard saw them, a smile of relief finally appeared on his face.
"Your Highness, it’s wonderful that you’re alright... AHH!" The moment he finished speaking, a massive dark figure lunged from somewhere behind him, pinning the guard beneath its sharp claws!
The guard let out a bloodcurdling scream. freewebnovel.cσ๓
The color drained from Shen Ningning’s little face.
She cried out urgently, "It’s a tiger!"
Under the moonlight, a tiger that was nothing but skin and bones ferociously mauled the guard. The bestial roars from its mouth echoed through the mountains.
Judging by its decisive attack, it must have smelled the blood and stalked the guard for a long time!
The guard fought for his life, but his arm was caught in its jaws.
He let out an even more piercing scream.
Mo Lingwei turned back, his cold voice sounding a bit rushed. "Go back to the cave and wait. Don’t come out."
Shen Ningning quickly retreated, watching as Mo Lingwei, dagger in hand, went to fight the tiger.
The dagger he swung was aimed to stab the tiger’s neck from behind.
However, the tiger suddenly turned its head. With a quick shift of its body, the dagger only managed to graze its foreleg!
"ROAR!" The tiger’s furious roar made Shen Ningning clap her little hands over her ears in fear.
The tiger was so hungry its eyes were practically glowing green.
Now that it was injured, it was completely enraged.
It pounced toward Mo Lingwei.
Though it was skin and bones, its massive frame still weighed over a hundred pounds as it leaped!
Mo Lingwei was agile. He dodged to the side in a single leap, drawing the tiger away.
Shen Ningning hurried forward to check on the guard.
His arm had been mauled into a bloody mess!
The little girl’s hands trembled violently at the sight of so much blood, but she kept her wits about her. She opened her waterskin and poured Spiritual Spring Water onto the wound.
’If he loses any more blood, the guard will die!’
Suddenly, Mo Lingwei’s sharp shout came from behind her. "Shen Ningning, move!"
The little girl didn’t turn around, but she could smell the stench of blood.
And she heard the sound of a beast baring its teeth and growling behind her.
The guard’s eyes widened, his lips trembling. "T-two... two tigers..."
Shen Ningning dropped and rolled, narrowly avoiding the ferocious jaws snapping down at her!
After steadying herself, she looked back.
’Just as I thought!’
There was another one, even bigger than the first!
A single swipe of its paw could probably crush the little girl’s head.
Not far away, Mo Lingwei was tied up with the young adult tiger.
Facing the colossal tiger, Shen Ningning’s childish voice trembled. "Y-you... don’t eat me... I’ll give you lots and lots of chicken and big bones!"
Of course, the giant tiger couldn’t understand her.
The scent of blood from the guard was agitating the beast’s senses.
"Miss Shen, quick, run..." The guard tried to use all his strength to stand up and fight the tiger to the death.
He wanted to trade his life for hers so Shen Ningning could survive, even though the situation looked bleak.
The little girl swallowed nervously.
She glanced at the guard. The giant tiger was slowly approaching him, sniffing the air for the scent of blood.
The giant tiger was clearly more interested in the bleeding, immobilized person.
Shen Ningning gritted her teeth.
She bent down, snatched a rock from the ground, and hurled it at the giant tiger.
"Hey, big tiger, come and get me!" With that, she turned and ran.
The rock hit the giant tiger on the head. It let out a pained roar and immediately chased after the little girl.
Mo Lingwei saw this from the corner of his eye and yelled hoarsely, "Shen Ningning!"
He abandoned the skinny tiger in front of him and turned to help her.
But unexpectedly, the skinny tiger saw its chance and tackled him from behind.
On her end, Shen Ningning was running for her life.
She wanted to buy some time. If she ran far enough away, she could duck into her Immortal Realm at any moment.
’Brother will be able to kill the skinny tiger and save the guard.’
However, as the little girl ran to the bottom of a slope, she suddenly tripped on a rock.
She pushed herself up on her little arms, only to hear a ferocious, bestial roar right behind her.
The giant tiger had caught up!
Shen Ningning looked back and saw the giant tiger already lunging, its gaping, bloody jaws opening wide to bite down on her head.
In the blink of an eye, a massive dark shadow leaped fiercely from behind Shen Ningning.
It knocked the giant tiger aside in one blow.
The two beasts tumbled to the ground together.
Still shaken, Shen Ningning looked over. "Langlang!"
The Black Wolf King quickly got to its feet and viciously lunged again.
The sound of the beasts’ snarling fight echoed through the valley.
Under the moonlight, the Black Wolf King was enormous and more powerfully built.
But the giant tiger was not to be underestimated; its body was, of course, larger than the wolf’s.
Several times, the giant tiger pinned the Black Wolf King to the ground, but the Black Wolf King was agile. It snapped back, tearing viciously. The giant tiger, yelping in pain, turned to flee.
The Black Wolf King seized its chance and sank its teeth into the giant tiger’s throat!
That wasn’t enough. It jerked its head violently, ripping the throat open.
Blood splattered. The giant tiger wailed and struggled, but soon, it fell silent.
Only when everything was still did the Black Wolf King release its grip.
It ran to Shen Ningning, and the little girl opened her arms, pattering toward it.
"Langlang, WAHHH..." Shen Ningning threw herself into his embrace as if he were her father.
The smell of fresh blood on the Black Wolf King didn’t scare her; it only made her feel safe.
Twigs and branches were caught in his fur. There was no telling how many difficult roads he had traveled to find Shen Ningning from so far away.
The Black Wolf King lowered its head and licked the little girl’s hair repeatedly, letting out a series of frantic whines.
Only then did Shen Ningning understand.
The little monkeys she had met earlier had helped.
After parting with her, they had run to Wolf Mountain to deliver the news.
The monkeys on Wolf Mountain had hopped and bounced around the Black Wolf King, squeaking for a long time, but the Black Wolf King couldn’t understand them.
In the end, the little monkeys put on a vivid performance, and only then did the Black Wolf King finally, barely, understand.
’Their little Ningning was trapped deep in the mountains!’
So, with the monkeys leading the way, he took half the wolf pack and sprinted off.
He ran for three hours without a moment’s rest, following her scent until he found this place.
However, because he ran so fast, the rest of the wolves were left far behind.
’If I weren’t so exhausted, that giant tiger never would have managed to tear out a tuft of my fur just now.’
Hearing the Black Wolf King’s disdainful complaint about the giant tiger, Shen Ningning, who had been crying, let out a snort of laughter, a snot bubble forming at her nose.
Suddenly, the expression on her little face changed. "Wait, Brother is still over there, fighting the other tiger!"
The Black Wolf King grabbed her by the collar of her clothes, tossed Shen Ningning onto his back, and ran in Mo Lingwei’s direction.
Just then, Mo Lingwei ran over, covered in blood.
When he saw the Black Wolf King, he first froze, but then his eyes landed on Shen Ningning on its back.
The young man let out a breath of relief. "As long as you’re okay."
He clutched his bleeding arm, panting with his head down.
Shen Ningning quickly jumped off the wolf’s back. "Brother, you’re hurt!"
