The tree fell, and Wufu clung tightly to a thick trunk, before she even had time to catch her breath, she caught a glimpse of a streak of light and shadow rushing toward her at high speed from the corner of her eye, and she cursed inwardly at the bad omen.
Damn it, when reading about how Wu Song fought the tiger, it was described so gloriously, all lies, it must have been a tame tiger, just waiting for the Martial Hero to decide how to hit it.
Now was not the time to be distracted; the big insect charged straight at her, and, having already been shot by an arrow, its speed caused the blood to splatter directly onto Wufu’s face.
Meeting one’s enemy makes the blood boil, and just when the big insect had fiercely collided with the tree, the python that had been coiled around its neck had long since vanished without a trace.
With the hindrance gone, even though it was wounded and had an arrow in its eye, the Beast King remained the Beast King, and when it laid eyes on Wufu, its paw lashed out at her.
Wufu rapidly rolled to the side, swiftly pulling out the firewood cutting knife from behind her, and leaped up, slashing at the big insect.
The big insect, already enraged by the python, now had Wufu interfering like a praying mantis, which further provoked its animal nature and viciousness. Seeing Wufu pounce, it also jumped up, its claws pressing her down.
Being pinned down by something that weighed over a thousand pounds, Wufu felt as if her shoulders were about to shatter, and her organs seemed to have shifted, causing unbearable pain.
But even so, she couldn’t afford to catch her breath or worry about damaging the fur, her hand wielding the kitchen knife chopped directly at the big insect’s head.
She was also lucky, with her other hand groping chaotically, she happened to touch a feathered arrow scattered on the ground, she felt a surge of joy, took hold of an arrow, and fiercely stabbed it into the tiger’s eye.
The sudden pain caused it to howl continuously, and the pressure it exerted on Wufu lessened considerably.
"Miss, I’m here to help you."
Wufu glanced over and saw Liu Jin holding a long spear and running over at high speed, his face set in a resolute expression.
"Don’t come over," Wufu shouted.
But Liu Jin turned a deaf ear, gripping the long spear, and thrusting at the tiger’s head just as Wufu had taught him.
The spearhead pierced the neck, causing the big insect to leap in agony, knocking Liu Jin flying away.
"Liu Jin!" Wufu leaped up from the ground, temporarily disregarding Liu Jin, and sprang forward, seizing the long spear still impaled in the tiger, she thrust down with all her might, piercing through, rupturing the artery, and blood spurted out.
The tiger’s roars shook the heavens, startling the animals in the forest into rapid flight, fleeing this disaster on the ground.
Wufu, holding onto the long spear, pinned the thousand-pound big insect fiercely to the ground, and despite its struggle making her face bruised and swollen, she dared not let go.
If she didn’t nail it to the ground, the ones who would die were her and Liu Jin.
Time trickled away, the big insect’s anger subsided gradually until it whimpered, blood flowed more and more, its strength dispersed little by little, and slowly, it became silent.
Feeling that it was truly dead, Wufu finally let out a sigh of relief, also letting go, and collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.
Thinking of Liu Jin, she quickly crawled over to his direction, he had already sat up, with a hint of red at his mouth.
"Liu Jin, are you alright?"
"Miss, I’m fine," Liu Jin said as he looked excitedly in the direction behind her and asked, "Miss, did we succeed?"
Wufu laughed, tugging at the hair clasp on his head, "Thanks for your help. We managed to defeat the big insect, and you played a part in it."
Liu Jin’s face flushed red, his eyes brimming with excitement, and he babbled incoherently about what should be done.
Seeing each other’s disheveled appearance and thinking back on the fierce battle, they couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
Suddenly, Liu Jin’s laughter stopped short, his eyes widening.
Wufu turned her head to look, her eyes narrowed, well now, had a Yellow Finch showed up?
