Chapter 291: Chapter 291: Chase (II)
The two hounds were rapidly closing in, barking wildly! They were headed straight for Old Man Li’s location.
Old Man Li struggled to flail around. Seeing the two hounds getting closer and closer from behind, he couldn’t afford to care about anything else and ran wildly ahead. However, the thick layer of snow on the ground left him dejected and powerless.
“Di Yelei! Liu Sisi! Pray that this old man Li doesn’t escape from your clutches, else it’ll be the end of you!”
He glanced back at the people and the two hounds chasing after him, took a turn, and veered towards another hilltop.
Behind him, the three pursuers arrived at the foot of the hill.
“Quickly! It really is Old Man Li up ahead, we need to split up! Surround him from three directions and make sure to capture him!”
Di Yelei instructed the two, each taking a different direction, fully intending to surround him.
This Old Man Li truly lived up to the saying ‘a hundred-leg worm doesn’t die easily,’ his will to live was strong.
The two hounds were too inexperienced. As soon as they saw Old Man Li, they took off, leaving him trailing behind. He wanted to break into a trot, but the thick snow seriously hampered his pursuit speed.
Ahead, the hounds were barking violently. It was clear that the confrontation between the two dogs and Elderly Mr. Di was in full swing.
Wails and roaring kept coming, interspersed with the angry roars of Old Man Li. It was quite a lively scene!
These were two pups barely a year old with serious lack of experience! If something really happened to them because they hadn’t been trained… that would be disastrous!
Worried, Di Yelei subconsciously sped up his steps.
Ahead, Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua had already bitten into Old Man Li’s thigh and back.
The two hounds, though untrained, possessed the hunting instinct of dogs. They clamped down on their target and didn’t let go.
“Let go! Damn you two dogs! Ouch! Let go!”
Old Man Li was both anxious and furious. He stooped down to pick up his crutch and started thrashing at the two hounds, trying to get rid of the burden on his body.
But the two hounds continued to bite him tightly, remaining undeterred no matter how hard Old Man Li attacked.
While Old Man Li and the two hounds were in a stalemate, two villagers soon arrived!
Instantly startled, Old Man Li attempted to escape, but his escape was delayed by the two dogs.
“Old Man Li, stop! You can’t get away. Why bother putting yourself through all this pain? Just stop!” the villagers rebuked.
“Keep dreaming! Just you two runts trying to catch your Grandpa Li? Go and drink a few more days of milk before talking about it!” Undaunted, Old Man Li fought back, raising his wooden stick to hit the dogs around him.
“Ouch”
Ah-Huang howled in pain and finally let go. It fell to the ground, whimpered a few times, convulsed a few times, and then stopped moving.
Blood slowly spread on the snowy ground around him, dyeing the accumulated snow around it a bright red.
The bright-red smear was astoundingly conspicuous, blinding to the eyes!
The sight that greeted Di Yelei when he scaled the hill was Ah-Huang that had fallen before him.
“Ah-Huang? Ah-Huang!”
Di Yelei instinctively called out to it, but his heart was sinking fast.
On the other side, Old Man Li, who initially wanted to hit Ah-Hua a few more times, was frightened upon seeing Di Yelei appear. He quickly stopped his hands, paid no heed to Ah-Hua, still clinging to his thigh, and ran away swiftly.
“Ah-Huang! Ah…”
Di Yelei let out a cry of distress!
