Snake Dowager's heart tensed up. Although she knew that Xiang Xue'er was injured and had no ability to fight back, she didn't expect her inner demon to protect this damned girl along the way.
”Humph! Stupid girl, consider yourself lucky!” This inner demon was not to be trifled with. If they were to fight, perhaps both sides would suffer. Since this was the case, it was better for both sides to retreat.
After a gust of wind blew by, the snake girl instantly disappeared. The heart demon slowly put away its flute and did not intend to chase after it. It would only make things more troublesome with this snake girl, but wasn't it already dead? It seemed that he still needed to investigate this matter thoroughly before being able to actually bring the dead back to life.
”Cough, cough, cough!” The platypus lay on the ground, covered in dust and blood. His body looked at the wounds on its body, then he extended his hand and lightly tapped on its back. The brick-like pain soon disappeared.
It slowly sat up, touching its chest as it raised its head to look at the inner demon in shock, ”You, why did you save me?”
The heart demon's blue eyes flashed. He turned around and walked to the other side, ”You have risked your life to protect the princess. This is my reward for you. Quickly take her away.”
Reward? Duck swallowed his saliva. His mood was dark and unmoved. What if he regrets killing me later? He quickly dragged Xiang Xue'er out from the cave and carried her back to the market.
”Go back to her side and protect the princess. If she is in danger again, I will immediately kill you!”
Ling Zhu held onto her chest as her heartbeat rapidly increased. Seeing that he had disappeared, she sighed and leaned against the tree trunk as she muttered: ”This kind of day, when will it end?”
Just as they were panicking, something happened at Li Yun's place. The rain forest was full of danger, and the three of them were surrounded by the magical beasts in the middle of the night.
In the dense white fog, pairs of red eyes were glaring at the three people in the encirclement. Once there was an opportunity, they would attack in groups, tearing the prey to pieces.
”It's a pack of wolves!” Li Yun sniffed the air with his nose and picked up the burning torch from the ground. It was the fire that wolves were most afraid of but with so many wolves, it would not be easy to escape safely.
Qingtian frowned and looked around. After a rough estimation, he couldn't calm down, ”There are about a hundred of them. How do we get out of this?”
Li Yun and the other two stood back to back. Being familiar with the rules of the wolf pack, Li Yun immediately told them, ”There must be a head wolf among the hundreds of wolves. It's the leader of the wolf pack; if possible, it's best not to make enemies with them. I'll negotiate with them!”
”Negotiate?” Lian Chengxue swallowed his saliva with a baffled expression: ”Li, Brother Li? You want to negotiate with the wolves? How can we talk about it? ”
Li Yun snickered. ”I really want to forget to tell all of you. I'm raised by wolves, of course I have a way to talk to them!”
”Roar!” Roars came from the opposite hill. Li Yun turned to look at the source of the roar, his voice strong. It looked like this was the leader of the pack of wolves.
So he tried to talk to it, and immediately raised his head and let out a wolf-like howl, as if it really was a wolf talking, and the wolf on the other side of the hill, hearing the sound, leaped and walked towards them.
The surrounding wolves immediately issued a warning. Li Yun's forehead was covered in sweat, the blue sky had already cramped up his expression as he asked, ”Hey, Brother Li, what are they talking about?”
