She thought Wang Xiaoqiang wouldn't be able to get there so quickly, calling out was just an act of faith amidst hopelessness, but to her surprise, her call was actually answered by Wang Xiaoqiang's voice, full of breath... "Honghong, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"

Wang Xiaoqiang was terrified that Li Xianghong might be in danger, so after leaving the villa, he found a deserted path and dashed towards the mountain hollow. As soon as he entered the hollow, he heard the howling of wolves, then he quickened his pace, and upon hearing Li Xianghong calling for help, he responded.

Hearing Wang Xiaoqiang's response, Li Xianghong felt slightly relieved, but she kept running for her life, as she could hear the rustling of the grass behind her, and the wolf howls were getting closer...

No matter how fast Li Xianghong ran, she couldn't outrun two wolves; soon enough, the two ferocious creatures had caught up to within five meters behind her, and if Li Xianghong slowed down for even a second, she might be tackled to the ground.

Li Xianghong's heart had leaped to her throat, thinking that although she heard Wang Xiaoqiang's response, she still hadn't seen him appear.

Wang Xiaoqiang had, in fact, come running, but he wasn't in front of Li Xianghong; he was on the side. He had cut diagonally across and wedged himself between Li Xianghong and the two wolves just as they had caught up to her.

The two wolves, seeing a person suddenly block their path, immediately halted, their front legs lifted off the ground in a human-like stand as they raised their heads and let out a wild shriek.

Wang Xiaoqiang's eyes swept over them, confirming they were indeed two wolves, large in build but with shriveled bellies, their eyes flashing ferociously as they fixed their gaze on him tightly.

If this had happened before, Wang Xiaoqiang might have been frightened by two wolves, but now he did not show a hint of fear. The wolves had not found prey for a long time and were ravenous; they didn't care whether their prey was a woman or a man, they would not let go once identified as prey. They were startled by the sudden appearance of a human blocking their way but were not scared off at all.

The wolf on the left opened its mouth and growled before pouncing towards Wang Xiaoqiang; the other followed suit, launching itself from the other side.

Wang Xiaoqiang stood still, his hands extended towards the two ferocious creatures, slapping them as the Qi Guiding Technique was activated and the Aura of Geng Metal shot out from his palms, striking the wolves as they pounced towards him and knocking them to the ground with two loud thumps.

These two hits landed on vital areas, one striking the frontal abdomen of one wolf, and the other hitting the head of the second wolf.

They each had a wound the size of a teacup on their heart and head, blood gushing out as the wolves convulsed on the ground, emitting desperate whines.

Li Xianghong ran a few meters before she noticed the sudden silence behind her. Turning to look, she saw Wang Xiaoqiang, who she hadn't noticed arrive, standing behind her with the two wolves at his feet.

Li Xianghong thought she was seeing things; she rubbed her eyes and looked again, still seeing the same astonishing scene. It then dawned on her that Wang Xiaoqiang must have arrived in time, killed the wolves, and saved her life.

"Little Qiang..." Li Xianghong called out, and somehow finding the strength, she turned and ran back towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang turned around to see Li Xianghong rushing towards him and opened his arms.

Li Xianghong shot into his embrace like a cannonball. The strong inertia knocked Wang Xiaoqiang to the ground.

"Little Qiang, that was so terrifying just now, wuu wuu..." Li Xianghong lay on Wang Xiaoqiang's firm chest, crying a river.

"It's alright, Honghong, it's over, don't cry..." Wang Xiaoqiang comforted her while stroking her fragrant shoulders.

"I told you not to come alone; remember this for next time, you must wait for me to get there before we enter this hollow together..." Wang Xiaoqiang sternly advised.

"Wuu wuu... I just wanted to see you, thinking you'd arrived early, but you're only now arriving, hmph..." Li Xianghong's fists knocked against Wang Xiaoqiang's shoulder a couple of times. Suddenly, her gaze settled on the two wolves ahead, seeing that the very creatures which had relentlessly pursued her were now breathless, with gaping holes and blood still spurting from their bodies.

Seeing this, Li Xianghong couldn't help but exclaim, "Yikes... Little Qiang, how did you manage to kill these two wolves?"

"With a gun!"

"Where's the gun?" Li Xianghong looked around for the gun, but there was no sign of the hunting rifle Wang Xiaoqiang had mentioned on the ground nearby.

"The gun is right under you... hehe..."

"Right, Honghong, did Uncle Baoshan ever reach the peak when he went hunting in Great Green Mountain when he was alive?"

"He said he didn't, it's too high, and the higher you go, the colder it gets, he feared he couldn't bear it... Why, why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Li Xianghong answered breathlessly.

"Uh... It's nothing." Li Xianghong's response delighted Wang Xiaoqiang; the lower the temperature on the mountain, the more likely it was that maca could survive there.

Half an hour later, both of them, drenched in sweat, arrived at the pond outside the forest to bathe. Wang Xiaoqiang saw the clear pool water and jumped in at once, whereas Li Xianghong, hesitant and nervous, asked, "Little Qiang, are there leeches in the water...?"

"Don't worry, if I'm down here, there definitely won't be any." Wang Xiaoqiang said as he released some Metal Element Spiritual Energy into the water with his right hand. The small fish in the pond started to twitch as if electrocuted and soon floated up, dead. The leeches lurking in the weeds at the bottom were also killed by the Metal Element Spiritual Energy.

The assurance from Wang Xiaoqiang gave Li Xianghong confidence to also get into the water, and the two started playing around, splashing each other.

"Hey, Little Qiang, you didn't kill those wolves with your bare fists, did you?" When leaving, Wang Xiaoqiang dragged the two wolves along, planning to take them back to grill wolf meat. Li Xianghong, eyeing the shocking bloodied holes on the wolves, still had her doubts.

"I'm not that powerful. I smashed them with two rocks... You know, I'm quite strong..." Wang Xiaoqiang said nonchalantly, then hooked his arm and flexed the muscles for Li Xianghong to see.

Li Xianghong took Wang Xiaoqiang's arm, casting a flirtatious glance, "Aiyo, I know you're strong, strong like a big Yellow Ox... But this big Yellow Ox, when he's not busy, only knows how to plow the field... Eh? Big Yellow Ox, how was it, plowing virgin land?"

"Virgin land is tough to plow, but after it's been plowed a few times, it gets much easier underneath..." Wang Xiaoqiang said with a bit of smugness.

The two parted ways on the road leading into Mantou Mountain, with Li Xianghong heading back to Mantou Mountain and Wang Xiaoqiang dragging the two wolves back to the villa.

The workers at the Vegetable Base and the orchard saw Wang Xiaoqiang bringing back two wolves and gathered around, discussing animatedly. Xia Sanwa couldn't help asking, "Little Qiang, where did you hunt these wolves?"

"Great Green Mountain,"

"How did you do it?"

"Smashed them with rocks!"

No sooner had Wang Xiaoqiang spoken than a wave of gasps and admiration followed, "The boss is really amazing!"

Having previously witnessed Wang Xiaoqiang's encounter with Lin Juxiong, they knew about Wang Xiaoqiang's strength, and thus no one doubted his story of killing wolves with stones.

Wang Xiaoqiang dragged the wolves back to the villa. Since it was hot, the wolf carcasses couldn't be kept long, so he hung them in a tree, skinned them with a knife, cut them into pieces, and stored them in the refrigerator. When evening came, he started a fire outside the villa and began roasting the wolf meat. (To be continued.
