Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 245 - 26: Berserk Junior Sister Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder (Part 26)
The fourth senior brother now regrets it very much.
As he lay there, he even thought about his last words.
Beside him, Jiang Lai was quite calm, not only unafraid, but even began to play with the puppy in her arms.
The fourth senior brother gave her a look, suggesting she think of a solution.
Jiang Lai shook her head.
Through their exchanged glances, the fourth senior brother posed a question.
"Aren’t you afraid of dying?"
Jiang Lai responded with a look.
"If we die, we die."
The fourth senior brother was desperate, he wasn’t ready to die, so he made a decision to fight the wolf.
Just as he was about to muster the courage to stand up, Jiang Lai grabbed his collar and dragged him downward as they rolled back. Their commotion startled the two other resting heads, and with a "bang," another sound echoed.
The fourth senior brother widened his eyes, staring incredulously at two people falling from the same spot. Before he could see who they were, the Three-headed Demon Wolf that had been crouching by the door started to rise slowly.
Its massive three wolf heads, with six crimson eyes, locked onto the two falling figures, filling the dead silent space with the low growl of three heads.
Mu Wu never expected that, upon finding the location, she would encounter the legendary Three-headed Demon Wolf guarding the ultimate treasure.
This wolf had been easy to deal with in her past life, but now, it posed a deadly danger.
Moreover, Ye Yunzhou, who landed with her, was severely injured and awaited the Spirit Ginseng guarded by the Demon Wolf to save him, heightening their perilous situation.
With the Demon Wolf closing in, Ye Yunzhou stood in front of Mu Wu, surveyed the area, and spoke deeply.
"I’ll distract it, you go open the door."
"Can you do it? Maybe I should be the one to distract it."
"Don’t underestimate me."
With those words, the Three-headed Demon Wolf charged fiercely, its massive body causing the ground beneath them to tremble faintly.
Mu Wu didn’t hesitate; as the Demon Wolf charged at her, she rolled and escaped from the corner, desperately rushing toward the tightly sealed door.
One of the wolf heads noticed Mu Wu, let out a low growl, and redirected its path towards her. Behind, Ye Yunzhou channeled Spiritual Power for a fierce attack on the wolf’s tail.
"Roar—!!"
The Demon Wolf roared in pain, all three heads turning, its crimson eyes reflecting Ye Yunzhou’s figure. Its sharp fangs dripped with viscous saliva, yet it only spared Ye Yunzhou a glance before refocusing on Mu Wu.
Seeing Mu Wu in danger, Ye Yunzhou shouted a warning.
"Run quickly!!"
Mu Wu, still fumbling with the door’s mechanism, ducked instinctively at the call—just as a dark shadow passed overhead, narrowly evading claws that nearly split her in two.
In the heated scuffle, the fourth senior brother grew anxious.
"What should we do? This wolf seems very smart."
Unaffected, it only attacked those near the door, giving no one else a chance.
Jiang Lai observed the three heads with a detached expression, as if indifferent to the situation.
The fourth senior brother fretted.
He was worried both that the pair might be devoured, and that they might defeat the Demon Wolf and successfully enter to snatch his treasure.
He was torn, but reason dictated that preserving life was paramount.
"Junior sister, why don’t we go out and help them?"
"No worries, they can manage."
After all, male protagonists manage anything in this world.
Moreover, the male protagonist has a female protagonist by his side.
Strong teamwork at most results in injury, but certainly not death.
Yet for minor characters, uncertainties abound; they perish easily, unlike protagonists who repeatedly rise.
The fourth senior brother grumbled in dissatisfaction, but dared not disobey, fearing the stern junior sister might scold him.
Thus, the two silently watched Ye Yunzhou and Mu Wu struggle against the Three-headed Demon Wolf. Finally, Mu Wu got struck by the Demon Wolf’s tail, colliding with the door—resulting in a "click" as the tightly shut stone door began to rotate open!
Jiang Lai’s eyes lit up.
As expected of a female protagonist, the plot somehow always allows her to narrowly escape.
Seeing the door open instantly, Mu Wu decisively rolled inside and stood in the doorway, shouting out.
"Hurry up, get in!"
At that moment, Jiang Lai abruptly got up, dragging the fourth senior brother towards the door.
With the rotating door soon closing again, Ye Yunzhou immediately rushed back.
Upon seeing Jiang Lai, Mu Wu’s expression changed—from shock to anger.
She hadn’t expected Jiang Lai to also be hiding, waiting silently to seize an easy advantage!
She couldn’t believe such shamelessness existed—instinctively wanting to close the door, but recalling that Ye Yunzhou was still outside, now lagging slightly behind due to his injuries among the three rushing forwards.
Ye Yunzhou noticed the two figures emerging from the darkness and strained every effort to move ahead, finally surpassing Jiang Lai as Mu Wu slapped a hand on the slowly shutting door.
Seeing they might miss entering, Jiang Lai grabbed Ye Yunzhou’s hair, then yanked the fourth senior brother’s sleeve, exerting all strength—one arm pulling back, the other thrusting forwards, spinning the fourth senior brother directly inside.
In the next moment, the door closed right in front of them.
Ye Yunzhou lay sprawled on the ground, staring icily at Jiang Lai, eyes filled with murderous intent.
Jiang Lai appeared calm, wearing a mischievous smile.
"What? Facing death, shouldn’t we have someone to drag down with us?"
If Ye Yunzhou entered first, neither she nor the fourth senior brother would get through.
Rather than that, at least sending one inside made Mu Wu safer than facing the Three-headed Demon Wolf outside.
As for the rest, Jiang Lai could take advantage.
The Spiritual Power of the Demon Wolf had been almost depleted by Mu Wu and Ye Yunzhou, so Jiang Lai released Pudding. As a Seven Elements Demon Pet, Pudding’s sharp teeth and swift speed made it like a black lightning bolt darting between the wolf heads.
Sometimes biting a nostril, sometimes gouging an eye, other times directly biting off an ear.
The three heads fought amongst themselves, snarling furiously, body crashing around chaotically, throwing off its balance.
At this point, Jiang Lai glanced at Ye Yunzhou.
"Lend me your sword."
Ye Yunzhou stared coldly at her, wishing to flay her right there.
Jiang Lai urged.
"Want to die here? Quickly!"
Ye Yunzhou, face tense, briefly weighed pros and cons, then handed the longsword hanging at his waist to Jiang Lai.
Jiang Lai took the sword, kicked off and leapt towards the Demon Wolf’s heads.
