Short, Light, Free - Chapter 166
I sprinted toward the mini forest as the wolves’ whistles drew closer.
I turned my head to the side and saw a wolf making a mad dash for me, it’s mouth wide open.
I may not be certain if a vaccine was needed for a monkey bite, but I was sure that I would need one for a wolf.
Before I could take a step further, that wolf bit onto my leg.
It had no intention of letting go.
Thanks to the pumping adrenaline, I felt no obvious pain.

Nevertheless, it slowed me down. The wolf braked and used the surplus force to pull me backward.
I was just three steps away from my tree but before I could even attempt to climb it, a second wolf bit my other leg.
Then came the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth.
They had me trapped and were biting onto every corner of my legs.
That was when I felt the pain.
The monkeys finally started moving. Four gathered in one tree and started forming a pyramid.
A monkey ladder was formed and the closest monkey reached its hand out to me.
I extended my arm out. Last chance.
I turned around and noticed that the wolves further away were biting on their companions’ tails.
They were working together to pull me backward.
The lady got off her wolf and fished a wolf’s tooth out, walking over to where I was.
Wipe out your enemy…
Kill the king first, was that it?
Am I the leader of these monkeys?
Will they be leaderless when I’m gone?
“Help!”
“Help!”
“Help!”
…
I yelled at the top of my lungs.
Two more monkeys joined the ladder and grabbed onto my shoulders.
The wolves had my legs while the monkeys had my shoulders.
The two wolves at the front were now suspended mid-air while the monkeys were shouting and tugging rhythmically.
All I felt was despair.
One group was pulling me down and the other was pulling me up.
I was practically being spaghettified.
I could feel my limbs extending beyond their limit.
The lady was getting closer and closer by the second. She was about to smash the wolf’s tooth down when I noticed that my belt and trousers had come loose.
I quickly unbuckled my belt and took my booklet out.
Within the next second, the wolves had successfully pulled my pants off while I was hauled up onto the tree, and the wolf’s tooth landed on the ground.
A fine crack emerged on the ground. Yep, that definitely would’ve been a fatal hit.
The monkeys on the tree were grabbing me and messing with my hair as if checking to see if I was still in one piece.
The wolves were tearing my pants to shreds below.
Left in my boxer briefs, I saw the lady angrily raising her weapon in the air.
She was about 1.5 meters, 2.5 at most with her hand and weapon raised.
I, on the other hand, was shivering at a height of three meters. Where did she get such strength from?
The monkeys seemed to have figured out the lady’s plans as they started scattering about.
Three monkeys grabbed onto me tightly to keep me steady.
The lady below started stabbing the tree with great force, causing bark to fly all over.
Sensing the danger, the three monkeys wrapped their limbs around the tree forks.
The immensely strong woman made an enormous crack with just three hits.
“Stop it, will you!”
“Will you!”
“You!”
…..
I shouted at her.
She raised her head and retaliated, “Fazhengniliecifudong.”
“Liecifudong.”
“Cifudong.”
…
What the hell? She’s not Chinese?
The language she spoke wasn’t English either so that ruled out a lot. I had no idea what language she was speaking in.
It was then that I realized she had mud-yellow skin.
Not earthling-like.
Was she from a different planet?
Hundred test subjects… not all of them are earthlings?
The wolves weren’t lying idly. They were shadowing around the tree, waiting for an opportunity.
As I watched, I noticed that the lady wasn’t communicating with the wolves.
That was my advantage.
I spotted the five-meter deep hole and a plan came to mind.
“Monkeys!”
“Monkeys!”
“Keys!”
…
“Smash them with fruits!”
“With fruits!”
“Fruits!”
…
The monkeys heard me and followed as ordered, throwing fruits at the pack of wolves, causing them to run about the tree.
I waved for a monkey to swing over and whispered my plan to it.
He understood and opened his hands.
I opened my booklet, bookmarked by a burned branch.
I tore off a page and wrote on it, “Revive Gou Dan.”
Looking at the monkey, I made a gesture of joining the torn page back to the booklet. “Understand?”
After a short silence, the monkey nodded.
“My life’s in your hands, boy,” I said before handing the booklet and the page to him.
The tree was about to fall off by then.
I exhaled deeply and ordered, “Let me down.”
The three monkeys nodded and formed a ladder once more to let me down onto the ground.
Immediately upon landing, I saw the wolves charge toward me.
With all my strength, I ran as fast as I could toward the hole, the wolves following closely behind.
I leaped in and quickly felt the wolves piling up on me.
As expected, their predatory instinct was beyond imagination. Being unable to climb trees was a structural flaw but jumping into the hole was a whole different story.
Because they had made a dash for me, the lady had no time to get onto any of them.
The monkey with my booklet cried out excitedly and the other twelve monkeys quickly got the hint and rushed forward to surround the lady.
The thirteen wolves were with me, about six of them directly crushing me.
I was bleeding from my eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. It was a five-meter fall, after all.
According to the rules, I had confined these wolves and my monkeys had confined the lady.
I was seriously hoping that the monkey hadn’t lost the torn page because my life depended on it.
