Myth Beyond Heaven

"You stand guard tonight." After the hearty meal, Lin Musong said arrogantly to Lin Tianyun.

Hearing this, the family's elders wanted to persuade their young master because Lin Tianyun was slightly better than an ordinary mortal. Leaving this duty to him was no different from having a wooden fence against a wolf pack. However, they immediately swallowed their words back when they saw Lin Musong's dissatisfied gaze.

Lin Tianyun had no objection. Wasn't he waiting for this chance all this time? He simply nodded and went to find a relatively remote place to sit down, waiting for the night to come.

Lin Musong exchanged a glance with Jin Lei, and the two quickly went to their respective tents with something on their minds.

Meanwhile, Qin Ye saw this scene. A frown appeared between his brows as he could smell a hint of conspiracy. He thought for a moment and walked toward Lin Tianyun.

"Little Brother Lin, why don't you take a rest first and leave this to my people?" Qin Ye said sincerely.

Lin Tianyun turned to look at him and replied politely. "Thank you for your concern, Young Master Qin. I'm afraid Young Master Lin wouldn't allow me to do so."

"I can talk with him. He will certainly give me some faces." Qin Ye said confidently.

Lin Tianyun shook his head. "There's no need to bother you, Young Master Qin. Honestly, I don't want to owe you a favor, and I don't want you to have an unnecessary conflict with him either. Please leave me here."

Qin Ye stared at Lin Tianyun for a while and sighed. "I understand. If you notice some movements, you can contact my people directly. You don't have to fight by yourself."

"I will." Lin Tianyun smiled.

Qin Ye nodded and returned to his tent.

Watching Qin Ye entering his tent, Lin Tianyun turned his head to look into the dark forest in front of him, seemingly lost in his thoughts.

Two hours passed by quickly. The sun in the sky had already gone, replaced with the moon hiding behind the group of clouds.

The forest was completely dark and unable to see anything with human eyesight. Lin Tianyun was sitting in the dark corner, several meters away from a torch. No one would be able to see him if he ran away at this moment.

However, Lin Tianyun didn't plan to make a move now. He was calmly waiting for a winter wolf pack to attack the camp first. Before coming here, he had studied various beasts in this mountain range. The Winter Wolf had the habit of hunting at night. Lin Tianyun firmly believed they would come at any time soon.

Tap—

Lin Tianyun's ears moved slightly when he heard a footstep sound. It was extremely faint, but he was certain something was lurking around the camp at this moment.

Lin Tianyun looked at the guards around the camp, and none of them seemed to be aware of it. He frowned slightly and began to calculate his route. With the characteristic of the Frozen Heart Lotus, Lin Tianyun believed it should grow somewhere nearby the top of the mountain. From the current position, he would need to walk for another day to reach there.

"Did you hear something?" A middle-aged man suddenly stopped drinking and said to his comrade.

"The Winter Wolf has come." Another middle-aged man became serious and began to warn the guards. When he looked at Lin Tianyun, he hesitated briefly and said. "Oi, boy. Come here."

Lin Tianyun pretended to be confused and slowly walked toward him. "What's going on, Uncle?"

"The Winter Wolf should be here now. You stay in the back and try to provide a fire for us, understand?" The middle-aged man said.

"Understood!" Lin Tianyun replied with a serious expression and picked two torches up.

Tap Tap Tap

The footstep sounds began to increase, and under the light from the outer area torches, several white-furred wolves could be seen staring at everyone. Their eyes were full of fierceness, brimming with killing intent.

The guards glanced at each other and nodded. They seemed to have a tacit understanding as they grabbed their weapons and spread out.

Lin Tianyun followed the middle-aged man to the left side of the camp and kept moving the torches around, providing the light for him.

"Boy, we are going to activate the traps soon. You should prepare yourself." The middle-aged man said seriously.

"Don't worry, Uncle. I know what to do." Lin Tianyun replied.

The middle-aged man nodded slightly. He turned to look at the group of Winter Wolves and shouted. "Now!"

As his voice fell, everyone quickly rushed forward and cut the ropes that were secretly tied with the trees nearby.

The Winter Wolves were startled. They didn't expect these humans to move first.

"Awooo!" The giant wolf that seemed to be the leader howled, and all the winter wolves quickly charged at the incoming humans.

Clang! Puff!

As the ropes were cut, the wooden boards on the ground immediately opened, and several Winter Wolves fell into the pits directly.

The alpha wolf was furious and let out another howl. Immediately, the remaining wolves cleverly avoided the pitfalls and rushed to the guards with wide-open mouths.

"Attack!" The middle-aged man shouted and brandished his long sword at the nearby wolf.

Lin Tianyun kept the distance between him and the middle-aged man and waited for an opportunity to slip away.

All of a sudden, he saw another wolf sneaking behind the middle-aged man. His eyes lit up as he threw the torches toward the wolf and shouted. "Behind you, Uncle!"

The torches didn't hit the wolf but fell onto the ground, and the fire on them immediately extinguished, causing the area to fall into darkness.

The middle-aged man turned around and slashed his sword at the sneaky wolf, but he failed to hit it due to his poor vision.

Bang!

Another wolf suddenly jumped on him and slashed its sharp claw on his back. The claw immediately sunk into his back, making him groan in pain.

"I'm here, Uncle!" Lin Tianyun suddenly jumped out of nowhere and tackled the wolf, rolling away with it and disappearing into the darkness.

The middle-aged man was startled and yelled anxiously. "Boy! Hold on!"
