Chapter 100

As the snow wolves, each as large as a calf, approached, they proved to be a formidable challenge for the average human, far less effective than the Qing Shi clan. Thus, when Dali shouted to form a circular formation, the other four Qing Shi clan warriors still stood at the front, while Bu Ye and the other穿越者s automatically took the rear, keeping an eye on the snow cloud eagles diving from the sky.

Though it was called a circular formation, it was actually an oval, with the Qing Shi clan warriors and the穿越者s back-to-back, not far apart.

At this moment, Bu Ye could no longer pay attention to the Qing Shi clan warriors, focusing instead on the lead snow cloud eagle! This particular eagle was the most formidable, having previously injured Dali. It wasn't that Bu Ye wanted to focus on it; rather, it had singled him out, clearly remembering that Bu Ye had left one of its companions behind.

Bu Ye leaned forward slightly, holding the mace in both hands, the tip rising and falling gently in the snow as he breathed, a stillness that belied the tension.

The two sides were closing in rapidly. The wingspan of the lead snow cloud eagle exceeded three meters, nearly reaching three and a half meters. Its black eyes were calm, adding to its imposing presence.

At this moment, Bu Ye felt no confidence in stopping it. The speed of this snow cloud eagle was simply too great, at least forty percent stronger than the previous one!

Just then, Bu Ye felt someone move closer to his right. Then he heard Guo Su's ordinary voice: "One on each side."

Bu Ye immediately felt relieved. With two people working together, he had nothing to worry about. He had long known from training that Guo Su's combat ability was quite formidable. Closer, even closer!

Hmm?!

They were only fifty meters apart when Bu Ye sensed something was off. He felt no killing intent from the snow cloud eagle.

When facing the previous one, the cancer cells in his body had stirred.

In an instant, Bu Ye guessed the true intention of the snow cloud eagle and shouted as quickly as possible: "Their target is not us!"

In the next moment, the fastest snow cloud eagle was already close, but instead of diving down as expected, it pressed its tail, flapped its wings, and soared upward, directly toward Dali behind Bu Ye!

It was a matter of a split second, and Bu Ye almost without hesitation kicked off the ground with both feet!

"Whoosh!!"

In the gale created by the snow cloud eagle's wings, Bu Ye squinted and leaped into the air. It was difficult to swing the mace, so he held it straight and thrust it at the eagle's belly, hoping to at least slow it down.

As the snow cloud eagle was about to pass over Bu Ye's head, the mace was about to pierce its belly!

"Swish!!"

The snow cloud eagle quickly extended its claws, the left one missing, but the right one accurately grabbing the tip of the mace!

The mace could no longer harm the snow cloud eagle, but the eagle's movement was also momentarily halted.

At this moment, Guo Su, who had reacted a bit slower, finally turned and jumped. Though he was a bit slower than Bu Ye, his timing was perfect, jumping just as the eagle's movement was halted.

Unlike Bu Ye, Guo Su was not in a rush. He had already raised the mace behind his back before jumping. As he flew through the air, his body arched forward like a shrimp, and he swung the mace over his head, smashing it down on the eagle's back with tremendous force!

"Bang!!"

The snow cloud eagle had just shaken off the mace from its claws when it was hit on the back!

With a dull thud, the snow cloud eagle absorbed the massive force, its entire body tilting toward Bu Ye's side and plunging downward. It had intended to grab Dali's back, but this was no longer possible.

"Yah!!"

The snow cloud eagle let out a strange cry, forced to abandon its attack and veer upward, quickly retreating from the battlefield.

Only then did Bu Ye crash to the ground. He had actually been carried through the air by the snow cloud eagle for a short distance.

Bu Ye rolled on the snow and quickly stood up, rushing forward.

He and Guo Su had managed to stop one snow cloud eagle, but there were ten穿越者s and seven snow cloud eagles. It was clear that not everyone could fight one-on-one, and who could completely stop a snow cloud eagle in a one-on-one fight?

Unfortunately, the battle was too fast, and Bu Ye was already too late.

As he rushed forward, Bu Ye saw a snow cloud eagle completely evade one person's interception and dart toward the back of a Qing Shi clan warrior.

The Qing Shi clan warrior held a short knife in his right hand, facing off against a snow wolf. Hearing the wind behind him, he knew what was happening. Without even looking back, he lunged forward, diving toward the snow wolf!

This move was both offensive and defensive, allowing him to dodge the snow cloud eagle's attack from the front.

However, the snow cloud eagle was a living creature, not a dead one!

The snow cloud eagle's momentum increased, chasing after the Qing Shi clan warrior. Just as the warrior collided with the snow wolf, the snow cloud eagle was already above his back!

However, the穿越者 who had let the snow cloud eagle pass reacted quickly. As soon as he landed, he shouted, twisting his waist and swinging the mace with both hands toward the snow cloud eagle!

This person, like Qi Yanbin, had the sixth constellation, specializing in explosive power. The mace, though spinning in the air, was incredibly powerful.

Just as the snow cloud eagle's sharp beak was about to peck the Qing Shi clan warrior's head, the mace finally struck!

"Bang!!"

The snow cloud eagle was knocked off course. It could have pecked through the warrior's skull, but instead, it only tore a piece of flesh from his right shoulder.

The snow cloud eagle was then forced to soar upward, quickly leaving the battlefield.

At this moment, Bu Ye heard a sudden scream and the hoarse cry of a snow cloud eagle from his right front, which startled him.

A穿越者 was lying on his back, half his head crushed, and his right shoulder was a mess of torn flesh. The culprit was being viciously pinned to the ground by another, slightly heavier穿越者, who was struggling to keep it down.

The heavier man was now unarmed, using his left arm and upper body to tightly clamp the snow cloud eagle's neck, while his right hand, in a fist, pounded the eagle's head. The snow cloud eagle, with immense strength, thrashed violently, occasionally lifting the heavier man off the ground, making it difficult for him to land accurate blows. However, the heavier man refused to let go, continuing to punch, and when the eagle tried to peck his head, he managed to dodge with surprising agility for his size.

Just then, Bu Ye heard another pain-filled roar from behind.

However, he had no time to look.

The battle was too fast, and there was no time to watch.

Except for the snow cloud eagle pinned by the heavier man, the others had already soared back into the air and would soon dive down again. This was the best time to deal with the snow wolves!

Bu Ye, still rushing forward, discarded the mace and reached behind his back, pulling out another weapon, a crude but incredibly hard and sharp dagger!

Bu Ye still didn't know how many snow wolves there were, but it didn't matter. In front of him, a Qing Shi clan warrior was facing two snow wolves, struggling to keep up.

In an instant, Bu Ye was already close, but he didn't jump. Instead, he continued to rush forward in a crouched position.

One of the snow wolves clearly saw him but judged from his speed that he was not an immediate threat. It continued to open its mouth, standing on its hind legs, and lunged at the Qing Shi clan warrior's head!

Indeed, the Qing Shi clan warrior was not standing upright. To facilitate combat, he was crouched, which also gave the snow wolf an opportunity to attack his head.

Fighting alone against two wolves, he had already been injured after just a few seconds. Despite his strong combat instincts, while one snow wolf had already bitten his right arm, he noticed the other and swung his left elbow, aiming for the wolf's neck.

However, the snow wolf's combat instincts were equally strong. As it lunged, it raised its front paws, and when the Qing Shi clan warrior's elbow approached, it used its paws to grab it. With a powerful grip, it brought its head even closer to the warrior's.

The snow wolf opened its massive mouth to bite, while the Qing Shi clan warrior swung his left arm to push it away. Both moved with incredible speed, and no one knew how it would end.

Bu Ye was now very close, but it was clearly too late to save the warrior, or the snow wolf wouldn't have ignored him.

However, at this moment, Bu Ye, still rushing forward, leaned forward, and his left foot kicked the ground hard!

The third constellation and the small star in his left leg burst into action!

Flash jump!

"Whoosh!!"

Bu Ye's speed was so fast that it almost created a sonic boom as he moved through the air.

In one step, he was already in front of the standing snow wolf!

His left hand shot out, grabbing the long fur on the snow wolf's back, and his right hand, holding the dagger in reverse, raised it high and plunged it into the wolf's thick neck.

At this moment, the snow wolf's strong combat instincts kicked in again. In the split second before the dagger hit, it abandoned the Qing Shi clan warrior, twisting its neck to face Bu Ye!

The stench of the wolf's breath was overwhelming, and droplets of saliva flew as it roared!

However, what greeted its massive mouth was Bu Ye's dagger!

The dagger, black on the back and white on the edge, about two feet long, looked like a large bone knife. With a loud shout, Bu Ye used all his strength, the third constellation and the small star in his right arm bursting into action, driving the dagger into the snow wolf's mouth like lightning!

"Swish!!"

The blade pierced the flesh, but that was not the end. Bu Ye's strength was so great that the thick wolf skin offered little resistance, and the blade continued to plunge deeper!

At that moment, Bu Ye's right hand, with its heightened sensitivity, seemed to extend to the blade, feeling it cut through the wolf's tendons and bones one by one!

Though it seemed slow, it happened in an instant. As soon as the blade entered the wolf's mouth, Bu Ye pressed the calf-sized snow wolf forward.

The man and the wolf crashed to the snow with a "thud." Bu Ye's left hand supported him on the ground, and his right hand yanked the dagger out!

"Shh..."

Hot wolf blood spurted out, splashing Bu Ye's face and head.

But the snow wolf was not yet dead. With its mouth and neck severely injured and Bu Ye pressing it down, it still managed to lift its head and bite at Bu Ye.

But Bu Ye remained unharmed!

The flash jump could not be used again in a short time, but his right arm, with the small star, could be used freely.

He still held the dagger in reverse, bent his right elbow, and swept it forward, striking the snow wolf's head with a "bang." Then, his fingers moved like a butterfly, and the dagger was reversed in his hand, plunging into the wolf's neck with a "swish"!

"Swish!!"

The snow wolf's defenses, no matter how strong, could not stop the two-foot-long blade from entering halfway.

One stab, then another, and another...

The snow wolf, already severely injured, fell to the ground after five stabs, no longer moving.

Bu Ye then stood up and looked around. The brief battle was already coming to an end.

A few seconds later, the pure white lead wolf howled and led the remaining six snow wolves to flee.

Looking up, the six snow cloud eagles also dared not fly down, circling high in the sky.

"Everyone, how are you?" Dali shouted loudly.

Both the Qing Shi clan warriors and the穿越者s were almost all injured, but the穿越者s were in worse shape, having lost one person.

A minute later, Dali squatted beside a Qing Shi clan warrior, frowning and somewhat angrily saying, "You can't go on, Dahan. You need to go back."

The warrior named Dahan did not argue, as his right thigh was torn, a large piece of flesh missing, and his tendons severed. Such an injury would only be a burden if he continued into the mountains.

Dali stood up and examined the injuries of the穿越者s, finally pointing to two and deciding, "You two also go back. I and the others will escort you part of the way."

After that, the five snow wolf corpses were quickly skinned, and the wolf skins, heads, and legs were packed and carried. The two snow cloud eagles had only their wing and tail feathers removed, also packed, and the group headed out of the mountains.

However, they did not completely escort the three injured back out of the snow mountain, as they still had some combat ability.

Two hours later, the group stopped and watched the three injured depart.

As they continued into the mountains, the atmosphere became noticeably somber.

With a full team, their combat power was at its strongest, yet they had already lost members, causing everyone to worry deeply about their future.

However, the will of the four Qing Shi clan warriors never wavered. They were entering the mountains to find their Qing Shi clan brothers, alive or dead!

When they returned to the site of the battle, the wolf and eagle corpses, as well as the body of the穿越者, were gone, leaving only a chaotic scene.

Clearly, some animals had visited after they left.

For the unfortunate穿越者 who had died and whose body was now gone, even Bu Ye felt a deep sense of sorrow.

However, as they knew from the beginning, they were just slaves to the Qing Shi clan. A slave had little value in life and even less in death.

The group moved forward in silence, gradually spreading out to observe more directions at once.

However, no matter how skilled they became, one question always weighed on their minds.

The question was: Were they really the main characters in this world after crossing over?

There could only be one main character. Why should it be them?

Everyone was a穿越者, with no one having an extra brain or double the intelligence, no one having an extra pair of arms or double the combat power, and no one believing in luck.

Why should they be the main characters?

So, they were not!

Until the red light recognized them as people who could help, no one was the main character, and no one would mourn their death.

This was the reality.

Clearly, they had not fully grasped this reality before.

In just eighteen days in the Tianqiao constellation, two out of ten穿越者s had died, the best proof of this.

Those who had become arrogant, no longer hiding or being low-key...

As they moved forward in silence, Bu Ye suddenly smiled silently, and it was clear he was very happy.

The group was spread out, so no one saw his smile.

Only he knew why he was smiling.

However, the words he muttered next revealed the answer: "I'm probably the most outrageous."

Indeed!

Others might think they were the main characters and act accordingly, but Bu Ye's actions in the Tianqiao constellation were completely outrageous!

He had killed the military commander Lu Qi, the governor of Muyuan Lu Yu, and now planned to kill the Duke of Dongping Xiao Hong. In the future, he might even target the most powerful general in the southern part of the Xiao kingdom, General Xuanwei Yang Feng. Was there anyone more high-profile than him?

Yet, he was still alive and well.

Perhaps, being outrageous was a survival tactic?

After all, everyone could predict the reliable, but not everyone could handle the outrageous.

Bu Ye was smiling at this.

Outrageous or not, this was his choice. The path he wanted to walk was the path he would walk.

The sky gradually darkened, and before they knew it, they had been in the mountains for almost a day.

Under Dali's command, they began to move faster, but even as it grew almost completely dark, they found no cave to hide in.

Finally, Dali chose a concave cliff face as a resting spot, planning to rest for the night and continue the next day.

They started a fire, cooked food, and ate their fill. Dali quickly arranged for night watch and then fell asleep.

It must be said that the Qing Shi clan warriors had big hearts, but the穿越者s were not so relaxed. After eating, none of them slept.

Guo Su saw something that made him grind his teeth in frustration: Bu Ye, Qi Yanbin, and Yang Ming were sitting together again. What made him even angrier was his own reaction. Yang Ming had looked at him, seemingly inviting him to join, but because he failed to change his expression and show friendliness in time, Yang Ming said nothing more.

At this moment, Guo Su had to face the question: Was he really so difficult to approach?

The answer was: Yes.

He was a so-called tech geek, but because he was into literature, he was even more arrogant. They considered themselves mad, so they only recognized other mad people. His life experiences greatly influenced his personality, and his mother's death three years ago made him believe the world was utterly screwed up!

Even just now, he didn't have much good feeling toward Yang Ming. The only person he truly recognized was Bu Ye, his "fellow patient."

At this moment, Bu Ye was answering Yang Ming's question: "Of course, I know the snow cloud eagles and snow wolves are dangerous, but I found..."

Yang Ming quickly asked, "Found what?"

"I found that I now do things based on whether I want to do them, not whether I should do them," Bu Ye said calmly, then asked, "At that moment, didn't you all want to go all out?"

Qi Yanbin and Yang Ming fell silent. They did want to, but to be honest, none of them were as determined as Bu Ye.

Yang Ming casually made a snowball and threw it, hitting another one he had thrown earlier, and said angrily, "I really don't understand the world of cancer patients."

At this moment, Qi Yanbin suddenly said, "By the way, there's someone else who can be as determined as Bu Ye."

"The fat guy?" Yang Ming immediately asked.

"Yes," Qi Yanbin nodded.

"He's quite skilled. What's his name?" Yang Ming asked.

"Seems to be surnamed Zhang... but I'm sure I've never seen him before, so he's probably not a famous writer from Qidian," Qi Yanbin frowned.

Yang Ming was not pleased and spat, "Don't always attribute
