Chapter 1134

Hearing Baili Xia speak like that, Mu Ziying hurriedly reached out to wipe the tears off her face with her sleeve, but she couldn’t stop sobbing all at once.

“I’m afraid, it’s all my fault, if it wasn’t for me, none of this would have happened.”

As soon as Mu Ziying spoke, tears immediately started sliding down her face non-stop.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Xiaxia.”

Baili Xia didn’t have too much time and energy to comfort her.

The wolves were nearby; crying would only lead them down a path of certain death.

“Ziying, I’ll cover you, hurry up and activate the rescue flare. That way I can buy us some time, maybe Uncle and the others will be able to come and save us.”

Hearing her say this, Mu Ziying remembered that she had a rescue flare on her!

She quickly reached out and took out a green stick from a pouch at her waist.

Pulling off the cap, a thick red smoke instantly drifted out from the stick.

The smoke was dense and spread quickly, and in a moment’s time, it had drifted out from above the forest.

“Don’t be afraid, the wild wolves won’t come near for a while after seeing the smoke.”

Baili Xia comforted Mu Ziying, and it was only then that Mu Ziying finally started to feel less tense.

But no sooner had she let out a sigh of relief, a strange howl came from the distance.

The wolves, which had originally been turned back by the thick smoke, suddenly surged towards them in a fierce rush…

…

When Mu Xiaojiu and the others reached the edge of the forest, they saw red smoke rising from deep within the trees.

Their hearts tightened suddenly, without a moment’s hesitation, he yanked the reins and charged towards the direction of the smoke.

Mu Xiaoyao and Dongfang Jin and the others also noticed something unusual, knowing that the appearance of red smoke at this time was very likely coming from Baili Xia and Mu Ziying.

Under normal circumstances, rescue flares would not be used since there’s generally no danger in the hunting grounds.

If someone used one, it could only mean that the situation was indeed dire.

Everyone was frantic, riding their horses at a gallop through the forest.

…

Baili Xia and Mu Ziying anxiously waited, their bows and arrows held steadily, always aiming at the direction of the bushes.

From time to time, howls of wolves could be heard; the pack had arrived.

Initially, they held back from attacking because of the fear of the red smoke.

But unexpectedly, when that howl sounded, all the wolves seemed to receive a command, rapidly closing in on them.

What was more terrifying was that the smoke from the rescue flare wouldn’t last much longer; it had quickly become very faint.

Baili Xia quickly signaled Mu Ziying to pull out the rescue flare she had on her.

She took off the cap and dense smoke rose once again.

But this time, just as Mu Ziying was about to take out her flare, suddenly, with an ‘ao’ sound, a wild wolf with protruding fangs leapt out from the bushes.

Baili Xia and Mu Ziying, who had been hiding behind a large tree, panicked upon seeing the wild wolf.

Without thinking, Mu Ziying grabbed Baili Xia’s hand, intending to run in the opposite direction.

The hand pulling her was clearly trembling uncontrollably, but even as Mu Ziying herself was so frightened she was nearly fainting, she still thought to pull Baili Xia with her…

There was a touch of sorrow in Baili Xia’s eyes, the feeling of family…

it was truly touching.

Unfortunately, at times like these, such sentimentality was way too superfluous.

As the wolf howls subsided, a pack of wolves emerged from the bushes.

They were numerous, at least a dozen or twenty.

Heavens, how could there be so many wild wolves in this hunting ground that hadn’t been discovered!
