Xiao Mei's companions started entering into the battle as she flipped through the center of the pack. Ox found himself quickly flanked by a pair of snarling beasts, only to have Liu Mei Yin rush in and intercept the wolf attacking his back. She uttered some strange cryptic words about puzzles, Mei ignored them and went back to her fun.

The wolves numbers were accelerating towards zero, of the six that had originally attacked now only two remained. One of which Ox had engaged and the other was standing confused in by the fallen traveler. Xiao Mei could imagine it's pain. At first a promise of a fresh meal then a team of elite martial artists comes crashing from the sky and eliminated his allies, there was nothing that he could have done.

A handspring to front flip and the petite woman was crouched beside the lone wolf. As her sandalled feet touched the ground she swept out her leading leg and took the wolves support out from beneath it. Then, wasting no time and exerting no effort she planted her hands on the ground and entered into a handstand that she held for a moment longer than necessary before dropping her extended leg across the beasts back. The sound of breaking bones echoed from beneath her and she rolled forward off of the wolves carcass and turned to examine the rest of the battle field.

Things were grinding to a halt, the fight was almost over. The rush of excitement an adrenaline were starting to fade.
