The scene made everyone watching feel a mix of fear and anxiety. If this were a living person, they would probably have been bitten to death by now.
The sight of wolves fighting each other for food was clearly much bloodier than any human-wolf battle.
Before long, the howls of the wolves filled the area. The sound scared all the surrounding beasts away, making them flee far from the scene.
Hanging in the air was Xia Yuhan, who had no time to think about anything else. Although she was suspended above, the hook was tightly pinched by the Hidden Weapon at the top of the cage, leaving her with no way to move.
At that moment, Xia Yuhan felt like a cornered wolf dog. She couldn't go up or down and was trapped in place, only able to feel anxious.
What should she do? If this continued, the Mechanism would eventually be unable to support her weight, and she would fall into the pack of wolves.
Xia Yuhan's palms were sweaty with nervousness, but she couldn’t easily let go...
Moreover, her hands were already struggling to hold onto the Mechanism as her strength began to wane...
Would she really fall unexpectedly?
Lowering her gaze revealed endless and bloody slaughter.
Trapped in this iron cage, her initial tension had surprisingly turned into calmness.
After all, it was certain death either way. It would be better to fight desperately. Even if it meant risking everything she had, it was worth a try.
The moment when wolves tore at each other was still quite brutal. In the face of hunger, they cared little for their own kind. Once the flames of battle ignited between them, they would surely kill each other until one fell.
The aggression and speed of the wolves were extremely fierce among beasts. The scene of them fighting each other could be likened to two Dash vehicles colliding at high speed, resulting in a catastrophic crash—this description was not an exaggeration at all...
The hearts of the onlookers suddenly rose to their throats. Perhaps because such a brutal scene had not appeared before, those who were originally seated stood up one by one and unconsciously moved closer to the Iron Cage, eager to see what was happening.
Fearful that Xia Yuhan might, in a moment of carelessness, end up like the participants from the Southern Kingdom, she felt an urgent need to update her situation as she fell into the wolf pack. Once again, she became a target for the wild wolves.
...
This scene reminded Xia Yuhan of everything they had encountered during a field exercise.
That night, they had encountered real wild wolves in the mountains. Although they had handguns, the bullets were not live rounds but blank cartridges. Therefore, their guns were essentially useless.
Fortunately, they only came across three wild wolves that night. Those three wolves were killed by her and her comrades using knives. Although they escaped death, she was injured in the process. To save her life, she had no choice but to abandon the field exercise and go to the base hospital for treatment...
Thinking back on those events made Xia Yuhan feel a surge of adrenaline.
She had killed a wild wolf before; she could do it again this time.
With that thought, Xia Yuhan shook her body, causing the Mechanism in her hands to sway. Using external force, she propelled herself forward.
"What is Xia Yuhan doing?" Cang Yile shouted anxiously from the sidelines. He wished he could transform into the Ice Blood Sect Master at that moment and rush in without hesitation. But his rationality held him back.
Jiang Tingyu's heart was racing solely for Xia Yuhan. When he saw her jump into the Iron Cage, his heart leaped into his throat. What should he do? What could she do? If only he had known better than to believe in miracles; he should have strongly insisted on switching places.
"Xia Yuhan, jump up! Climb onto the cage! The wolves are coming!"
"Hurry! Hurry!"
Those concerned for Xia Yuhan felt like they would shout until their throats were raw. But no matter how loudly they called out, after jumping down, Xia Yuhan rolled on the ground a few times and did not get back up.
"No! Xia Yuhan! Get up! Hurry!" Cang Yile shouted hoarsely. How he wished he could bear her pain at that moment.
Jiang Tingyu felt utterly helpless. He watched as Xia Yuhan lay motionless on the ground, unable to muster any strength. He could only watch as the wild wolves, who had been fighting each other, stopped their carnage and turned their attention toward Xia Yuhan...
"Xia Yuhan! Get up! It's dangerous!" Jiang Tingyu shouted loudly, disregarding everyone else and his own identity. At that moment, he didn't want to think about anything else; he just wanted Xia Yuhan to hear him and stand up again to find a way to hang in the air.
But this time, it was destined to leave Jiang Tingyu in despair.
No matter how he shouted or called out, Xia Yuhan lay motionless on the ground...
The other onlookers also grew anxious, especially Innocent's younger brother, who rushed into his sister's arms, "Sister, what should we do? Yu Han is going to be eaten by the wild wolf. What should we do?"
If it weren't for the younger brother's nervous voice breaking the thoughts of the onlookers, they would have realized that they could also speak. They were not trapped in a cage...
"What’s going on? Did the Second Lady of the Xia Residence fall to her death? Why is she not moving?"
"Exactly. That wild wolf is about to pounce on her. Are all three of them really going to end up in the wolf's belly?"
"She must hold on."
"…"
No matter what everyone said, no matter how the wild wolf approached her, Xia Yuhan showed no signs of movement.
As the wild wolves were about to pounce, ready to tear Xia Yuhan apart like before, Cang Yile turned to enter the iron cage but was forcefully stopped by the guards.
"Your Highness, please wait. We are just as worried about Second Sister's safety as you are. But we cannot allow you to go in right now."
"Whether you allow it or not, if you don’t let me through, I won’t be polite."
Just as Cang Yile was about to take action, Jiang Tingyu, who was closest to him, intervened and reprimanded Cang Yile in a voice only they could hear: "Cang Yile. Yu Han doesn’t want us to be put in a difficult position. If you act recklessly, not only will you fail to save Yu Han, but all your previous efforts will be in vain."
"Right Chancellor. Please step aside. Otherwise, I will not be polite with you. From my perspective right now, allowing my woman to face such great danger is a mistake."
"Even so, you still can’t go. You both will die if you do."
"I can live without this position, but I absolutely cannot live without Xia Yuhan. Unfortunately, it’s too late. My selfish desires have put my woman in danger; I can only accept the consequences. Even if it means death, I am willing."
Cang Yile pushed Jiang Tingyu aside. Just as he was about to force his way into the Iron Cage, an unexpected event occurred.
The scene suddenly fell silent. Very quiet. Cang Yile turned to look at the pack of wolves inside the cage. The wild wolves that had stopped fighting seemed to sense some danger. As they approached Xia Yuhan, they all lunged forward crazily.
Xia Yuhan seized the opportunity to roll over, pulling out the pistol she had hidden in her sleeve. She fired three shots at the first wolf that lunged at her.
In the blink of an eye, three wild wolves fell to the ground.
The people outside the Iron Cage heard three loud bangs. Three wild wolves collapsed, and they stared in shock as Xia Yuhan calmly got up from the ground, holding a dark object in one hand and retreating towards the yellow Flag.
"What just happened?"
"Where did that loud noise come from?"
Cang Yile was also stunned: "What... is going on?"
Jiang Tingyu took a quick glance and suddenly realized. He quietly reminded Cang Yile, "This time, the sound was much louder than last time."
Cang Yile's tense nerves finally relaxed: "So that's how it is. This woman really is a cause for concern."
Canglong Hui, who had been quietly observing from the side, suddenly stood up after witnessing this scene.
His gaze towards Xia Yuhan became sharper. The powerful weapon from last time was actually created by her, not Jiang Tingyu.
What exactly is this thing? It’s truly terrifying. In just an instant, three ferocious wolves were killed on the spot, and the remaining wolves were too frightened to attack recklessly.
It seems that if Xia Yuhan cannot be used for his purposes, she must be eliminated.
Keeping such a dangerous woman in the capital is indeed a very risky matter.
As for the Emperor, deep within his unfathomable eyes, a chilling coldness grew. He had sent many people to monitor Xia Yuhan before and had heard some rumors about the loud noises. Now that he had witnessed Xia Yuhan in action with his own eyes, a strange expression suddenly flickered across his extremely cold gaze. Then he lightly curled his lips, silently observing everything before him.
If she could obtain that item used by Xia Yuhan and use it widely, she would surely achieve victory in every battle in the future. Moreover, she would no longer have to rely on General Xia overnight.
Originally, Xia Yuhan did not intend to use the handgun because she knew that once she did, her life would never be peaceful again.
However, after witnessing the ferocity of the wild wolves, she had no choice but to use the handgun to increase her chances of survival.
Now, with three wild wolves having fallen in an instant, and considering the previous infighting among the wolves, there were now fewer than six wolves eyeing her hungrily. This greatly reduced her chances of death.
Taking a step back, Xia Yuhan finally grabbed the yellow flag and tucked it into her waist, freeing her hands.
While vigilantly scanning her surroundings for the wolves that were watching her closely, she attempted to move forward, slowly approaching the only exit of the Iron Cage.
However, with each step she took, the wolves followed closely behind, crouching low as they advanced, ready to leap up and launch another attack at any moment.
