Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1412: Chapter 1412: So Excited He Even Got the Name Wrong! (Part 2)

The middle-aged man was exceptionally furious, but what infuriated him even more was that the cold gleam disappeared without a trace after being flicked away by him.

From beginning to end, he didn’t see a single figure but almost lost his life. He only felt as if he were being watched by Death, and at the slightest carelessness, Death’s scythe might reap his life.

”What on earth is going on?” the middle-aged man shouted at the wolves.

”A human suddenly dashed out from behind that tree just now, directly rushing behind you. His speed was very fast, and for some unknown reason, we couldn’t feel his presence at all. When the assassination failed, he quickly vanished into the forest...”

The middle-aged man’s brows furrowed intensely, he had never encountered such an opponent. Completely unable to sense their presence, appearing like a ghost and disappearing swiftly. It seemed he could do nothing except endure passively.

He vigilantly scanned the surrounding forest, hoping to spot the ambusher at the first moment.

The wolf pack also ceased their assault on Gao Zhong and his people, gathering completely around the Wolf King. Compared to comforting the Wolf King, these few humans really amounted to nothing.

Gao Zhong had been seriously dealing with the wolves’ attack just now, unaware that it was Ye Haochuan who attacked the Wolf King. However, he could clearly see that the wolf pack became extraordinarily thin.

Even the few remaining fierce wolves had all their attention on the forest on either side.

”What a good opportunity!” Gao Zhong was the first to react to the sudden change, immediately pulling the Infatuated Girl along and quickly rushing in the direction they came.

The wolves surrounding them reacted instantly, wanting to chase but worried for the Wolf King’s safety. They didn’t chase with full force nor dared to pursue too far, allowing Gao Zhong and the others to escape.

Escaping the encirclement of wolves, Gao Zhong and the others shouted in amazement.

”Quick, go!” A sudden urgent call rang out.

Gao Zhong and the others looked in the direction of the voice only to discover it was Ye Haochuan rushing towards them.

”Didn’t you leave? Why are you here?” Gao Zhong’s expression was somewhat awkward; earlier, Ye Haochuan had warned them about fierce wolves here, but he didn’t believe him. Now they really encountered fierce wolves, his face couldn’t hide his embarrassment.

”There’s no time to explain; just go!” Ye Haochuan hurriedly shouted.

Gao Zhong was slightly taken aback, only then feeling a slight tremor on the ground. In the direction they escaped, layer upon layer of wolves were howling and approaching.

Gao Zhong and the others saw the wolves’ state just now, thinking they had lost interest in them, never expecting the wolves to give chase, their faces turned pale as they fled rapidly.

Yet Ye Haochuan did not flee but stood there, quietly staring at the wolf pack.

”He’s... trying to cover for us?” Gao Zhong said in surprise.

The Infatuated Girl seemed to finally come to her senses, softly saying, ”I saw it just now, it was him who attempted to assassinate the Wolf King that diverted the wolves’ attention...”

”What?” Gao Zhong exclaimed in astonishment, ”How is that possible? From the looks of it, that Wolf King is already at Nascent Soul, even a Nascent Soul Mid-Stage Cultivator might not be its match. How could that Ye fella at Core Formation Mid-Stage be a match for the Wolf King?”

Before the Infatuated Girl could explain, a massive sword blade appeared in mid-air, quickly drawing their attention.

Although they were already a thousand meters away, unable to see Ye Haochuan’s figure, it wasn’t hard to deduce from the position that this sword attack must have been unleashed by Ye Haochuan.

The sword blade slashed down quickly with a momentum that seemed to cleave the ground itself.

Boom~

The violent tremor of the ground startled several people.

”Is it really him? He’s only at Core Formation Mid-Stage, how could he possess such a powerful method?” Gao Zhong was completely dumbfounded.

”If I’d known he was this formidable, I should have just stripped and forced him on the spot!” the Infatuated Girl murmured.

At this moment, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded from behind them, ”Run quickly, he can’t hold off the wolf pack for long!”

Who else could it be but Fan Qingqing?

Upon hearing this, Gao Zhong finally suppressed his inner shock and immediately prepared to flee. However, when he looked back, he noticed that Fan Qingqing had no intention of moving.

”Aren’t you coming with us?” Gao Zhong asked in surprise.

”You guys go ahead, I’ll wait for him!” Fan Qingqing smiled.

”Such a devoted partnership, Qingqing, I truly admire you for finding such a good companion!” The Infatuated Girl said somewhat wistfully.

Fan Qingqing smiled without explaining.

Gao Zhong suddenly took out a map from his ring, handed it to Fan Qingqing, and said, ”This is the map to the Cold Pond. After what’s just happened, I’ve decided not to go there anymore. You mentioned you must go to the Cold Pond; with this, you won’t get lost!”

It turned out only Gao Zhong in the entire group possessed a map to the Cold Pond. Initially, Fan Qingqing joined after accidentally discovering that Gao Zhong was looking for companions to adventure to the Cold Pond.

Without Gao Zhong leading the way along the journey, she couldn’t have reached here.

”What? You’re not daring to continue after a little danger?” Fan Qingqing asked in surprise.

Gao Zhong shook his head and said, ”Since I was a child, I’ve traveled this path with my grandfather and never encountered great danger. My grandfather had warned me about the risks, but hearing and seeing are two different things.

Grandfather was right. I indeed aimed too high; without enough cultivation, I don’t qualify to walk this path!”

While speaking, his expression was quite lost. Still, Fan Qingqing understood that after this event, Gao Zhong would definitely train harder. It might not be bad for him.

”Convey my apologies to Brother Ye. I’m Hu Zhong, blind like a dog, acting superior before him. His skills are beyond my reach!”

Leaving those words, Gao Zhong didn’t hesitate any longer and dashed back the way they came.

The Infatuated Girl and the other three didn’t hesitate much either, quickly following. The way they dashed forward, clearly frightened by the scenes just now.

”This guy, he even got the name wrong in his excitement!” Fan Qingqing shook her head with a wry smile.

As soon as she finished speaking, a figure landed mysteriously before her and asked with a smile, ”Why didn’t you leave with them?”

”If I left, who would give you the map?” Fan Qingqing smiled, handing over the map Gao Zhong had given her.

Ye Haochuan took the map and glanced at it, discovering that it was quite large. Most parts were hazy, except for a specific route marked in exceptional detail.

The map not only had the route but also various notes, indicating where one needed to detour, all marked clearly.

With this map, even someone with not particularly high cultivation can successfully reach the Cold Pond, as long as they aren’t extremely unlucky.

However, what Ye Haochuan valued wasn’t just the route to the Cold Pond. After all, this section was also covered in the map he had. What he valued was the part leading back to Xuantian City. With this map, he’d finally stop wandering like a headless chicken.
