The scene left everyone feeling a mix of fear and anxiety. If it were a living person, they would likely 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 furious howls of the wolves filled the land. The cries scared all the surrounding beasts away, making them flee far from the area.
Hanging in the air, Xia Yuhan had no time to consider anything else. Although she was suspended high above, the hook was tightly grasped by the Hidden Weapon at the top of the cage, leaving her with no way to advance or retreat.
At that moment, Xia Yuhan felt like a cornered wolf dog. There was no way up or down; she was trapped and could only feel anxious.
What should she do? If this continued, the Mechanism would eventually fail to support her weight, and she would fall into the pack of wolves below.
Xia Yuhan's palms were slick with cold sweat from her nervousness. Yet, she couldn't easily let go...
Moreover, her hands were already struggling to hold onto the Mechanism as her body grew heavier...
Would she really fall unexpectedly?
Lowering her gaze revealed endless and bloody slaughter below.
Trapped in this iron cage, her initial tension had transformed into a strange calmness.
After all, death was inevitable. It might be better to fight desperately for a chance, even if it meant risking everything she had.
The moment when wolves tore at each other remained extremely brutal. Faced with hunger, they cared little for their kin. Once the flames of battle ignited between them, mutual slaughter was certain until one side fell.
Wolves were known for their aggression and speed among beasts. The scene of them fighting each other could easily be likened to two Dash vehicles colliding at high speed, resulting in a catastrophic crash...
The spectators' hearts raced as they watched. Perhaps because such a brutal scene had not occurred before, those who had been seated stood up one by one and unconsciously moved closer to the Iron Cage, eager to see what would happen next.
They feared that Xia Yuhan might slip up like those participants from the Southern Kingdom and fall into the wolf pack, becoming prey once again.
……
This scene reminded Xia Yuhan of everything they encountered during a field exercise.
That night, they encountered real wild wolves in the mountains. Although they had handguns, the bullets were not live rounds but blank cartridges. Therefore, the guns in their hands were essentially useless.
Fortunately, they only faced three wild wolves that night. Those three wolves were killed by her and her comrades using daggers. Although they escaped death, she was injured in the process. To save her life, she had no choice but to abandon the exercise and go to the base hospital for treatment...
Thinking back to that incident, Xia Yuhan felt a surge of adrenaline.
She had killed a wolf before; she could do it again this time.
With that thought, Xia Yuhan shook her body, causing the Mechanism in her hand to sway. Using external force, she propelled herself forward.
"What is Xia Yuhan doing?" Cang Yile shouted nervously from the sidelines. He wished he could transform into Ice Blood Sect Master at that moment and rush over 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 she do? She shouldn’t have believed in miracles; he should have insisted on switching places earlier.
"Xia Yuhan, jump up! Climb onto the cage! The wolves are coming!"
"Hurry! Hurry!"
Those concerned for Xia Yuhan felt like they would scream their throats raw. But no matter how loudly they shouted, Xia Yuhan, after rolling on the ground a few times, 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 was in despair. He watched as Xia Yuhan lay motionless on the ground, unable to muster any strength. He could only watch as the wild wolves that were previously 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 around him and his own identity. At that moment, he didn’t want to think too much; 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? Sister 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 interrupting the thoughts of the onlookers, they wouldn't have realized that they could still 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 did, 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 rush into the iron cage but was forcefully stopped by the guards.
"Your Highness, please hold on. We are just as worried about Second Sister's safety as you are. But we cannot let you go in right now."
"Whether you allow it or not, if you don’t let me through, this King will not be polite."
Just as Cang Yile was about to take action, Jiang Tingyu, who was closest to him, intervened and scolded 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 now, not only will you fail to save Yu Han, but all your previous efforts will be in vain."
"Right Chancellor. Please step aside. Otherwise, this King will not be polite with you. From this King's perspective, allowing my woman to face such great danger is a mistake."
"Even so, you still cannot go in right now. Otherwise, both of you will die."
"This King can do without this, but absolutely cannot do without Xia Yuhan. Unfortunately, it is too late. This King's selfish desires have put his woman in danger. The only thing left is the old punishment. Even if This King dies, he will do so willingly."
After finishing this, Cang Yile pushed aside Jiang Tingyu. 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 crazily lunged forward.
Taking advantage of the moment, Xia Yuhan rolled over and pulled out the handgun that had been hidden in her sleeve. In an instant, 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 only heard three loud bangs. Three wild wolves dropped dead on the spot. They stared in shock as Xia Yuhan calmly got up from the ground, holding a dark object in one hand and retreating toward the yellow Flag...
"Hey, what just happened?"
"Where did that loud noise come from?"
Cang Yile was also stunned: "What... exactly is going on?"
Jiang Tingyu glanced around and suddenly realized. He quietly reminded Cang Yile: "This time, the sound was much louder than last time."
Only then did Cang Yile relax his tense nerves: "So that's how it is. This woman really is a cause for concern."
Throughout all this, Canglong Hui, who had been quietly watching from the side, suddenly stood up after witnessing this scene.
His gaze toward Xia Yuhan became sharper. The last time that powerful weapon was used, it turned out to be her doing, not Jiang Tingyu's.
What on earth is this thing? It is truly terrifying. In just a moment, three ferocious wolves were killed on the spot, and the remaining wolves were too frightened to charge recklessly.
It seems that if Xia Yuhan cannot be used for his purposes, she must be eliminated.
Keeping such a terrifying woman in the capital is indeed a very dangerous thing.
As for the Emperor, deep within his unfathomable eyes, there was an increasing chill. He had sent many people to monitor Xia Yuhan and had heard some rumors about the recent commotion. Now that he had witnessed Xia Yuhan in action with his own eyes, a strange expression suddenly flickered across his extremely cold gaze. Then, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he silently observed everything.
If he could obtain the item that Xia Yuhan was using and apply it widely, he would surely achieve victory in future battles. Moreover, he would no longer need to rely on General Xia overnight.
Originally, Xia Yuhan did not intend to use the pistol because she knew that once she did, her days would never be peaceful again.
However, after witnessing the ferocity of the wild wolves, she had no choice but to use the pistol to increase her chances of survival.
Now, with three wild wolves having fallen in an instant and considering the previous infighting among them, there were now fewer than six wild wolves left eyeing her hungrily. This significantly 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.
She cautiously glanced around at the wild wolves that were watching her closely while trying to advance slowly towards the only exit of the Iron Cage.
However, with each step she took, the wild wolves followed closely behind, crouching low as they moved forward, ready to leap up and launch another attack at any moment...
