“Man-er“. Li Mo saw Li Man rolling down. When her body came to a stop at the bottom, she remained motionless. It felt as if something exploded in his chest. He exerted all of his strength to choke the wolf, then forcefully pushed it off and ran toward Li Man.
That wolf was obviously very hungry. It wouldn’t give up meat that had been practically delivered to its mouth. Moreover, by turning his back to the wolf, Li Mo had exposed his biggest weak point to it. Once again, the wolf swiftly pounced towards Li Mo. Its jaw opened wide to bite its prey’s neck.
This time, the wolf was exceedingly vicious. Although Li Mo immediately tried to evade it, the wolf’s claws left behind a trail of blood on Li Mo’s back.
Li Man had just regained consciousness. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw this hair-raising scene. She screamed in terror, but still grabbed the nearby stick to attack the wolf with it.
However, her strikes only met empty air.
Once again, Li Mo was grappling with the wolf. However, this time, he had gained the upper hand. His sturdy, mountain-like body was pressing the wolf down as his large hands firmly choked the wolf…
A short while later, the air was faintly permeated was the scent of blood. Li Man thought the smell was coming from Li Mo’s injured back, but when she approached him, she saw that the wolf was no longer moving. Its mouth was open, and blood was dripping out.
He had choked the wolf to death? Li Man was dumbstruck. Her small hands were still holding the stick up. She had forgotten to lower it.
Exhausted, Li Mo fell down in a sitting position on the side of the wolf’s body. Perhaps, this movement had pulled on his back injury. A painful hiss came from his mouth.
Li Man returned to her senses and quickly went over. “Are you okay?”
She wanted to check his back injury, but Li Mo stopped her. “I’m fine. Help me up.”
“Sure.” Li Man supported him up by the arm, then her arm very naturally wrapped around his waist so that he could lean on her for support.
Seeing how tense her small face had become, Li Mo softly comforted her, “I’m fine. Don’t worry.” However, he left his arm around her shoulder for support.
“No, I saw that the wolf scratched you.” Li Man’s voice was still a bit shaky. Suddenly, warm liquid fell on the back of her hand. She instinctively turned to look and saw that blood had dripped down from his back and onto her hand. When she looked up, she saw that his grey shirt was clawed open. From her point of view, she easily spotted that section of bleeding flesh.
Her little face turned deathly pale. Shocked, she couldn’t look away. “Y-your back, it’s bleeding.”
“It’s no big deal. That beast only touched it.” To her surprise, Li Mo shrugged off the seriousness of his injury and smiled at her. He picked up the stick that she had dropped, walked to the wolf, and drew a circle around it.
Li Man followed after him. She curiously asked, “What are you doing?”
“Although this beast’s fur is a bit off, it fortunately hasn’t been damaged. It should probably still be worth some money. I’ll have third brother come and drag it back later.” Li Mo tossed the stick away.
Oh, so that was why he had choked the wolf to kill it. It was so that fur wouldn’t be damaged. When she looked at Li Mo again, she noticed that there was a dagger hanging at his waist. Li Man immediately became angry. “You risked your life just to get a wolf’s fur? Did you not realize how much danger you were in?”
If he hadn’t evaded quickly enough, it would have been his neck that got clawed instead of his back…
