Chapter 1136

Baili Xia gripped her dagger tightly, and together with Mu Ziying, who had just managed to pick up her dropped dagger, waited for the wolf pack to charge for one last stand.

“We shouldn’t rush out.

Let’s lean against the tree so we don’t have to guard our backs.”

“Okay.” Mu Ziying nodded, her admiration for Baili Xia immense at this moment.

Baili Xia was not only brave and versatile, but she was also clear-headed and calm.

If she hadn’t been with Baili Xia today, she would probably have already been devoured by the wolves.

There were still more than ten wolves left, some of which had fallen but got up again.

Seeing that no more silver needles were shot by Baili Xia, they all circled closer.

Just as they got about three meters close, one of the wolves suddenly howled and lunged at Mu Ziying first.

It seemed even the wild wolf realized Baili Xia was the tougher nut to crack, while Mu Ziying was easier to bully.

Thus, attacking Mu Ziying first, wounding the tough companion first, would make the remaining one easier to deal with.

In an instant, seven wolves pounced, all attacking Mu Ziying.

Mu Ziying desperately swung the dagger and longbow in her hands, striking with a forceful slash at the first wolf to pounce.

On Baili Xia’s side, the situation was similar, though the pressure was slightly less, as she faced three wolves alone.

But, Mu Ziying was no match for the wolves.

Baili Xia, besides protecting herself, also needed to protect her, and soon, she was completely overwhelmed.

Physical strength always runs out eventually, and soon, their speed in swinging the daggers slowed significantly.

Noticing this, the wolves attacked even more fiercely.

Continuously, wolves lunged at Baili Xia and Mu Ziying, their sharp claws leaving trail after trail on their arms and shoulders.

The pressure increased for both of them, nearly overwhelming them.

After pushing a wolf back with another slice, two wolves pounced simultaneously, and Baili Xia, heart tightening, suddenly pulled Mu Ziying behind her.

“Xiaxia!” Mu Ziying was terrified by her action, “Xiaxia, be careful!”

How could she use her own body to protect her!

This person, smaller in stature and even younger than her!

She was her younger sister!

Even if not by blood, she was still the youngest Miss Sun of the Mu family.

Yet herself…

the older sister, actually needed protection from the younger!

Baili Xia had no extra capacity to pay attention to Mu Ziying behind her.

Pulling her behind, she swiped her dagger, immediately targeting the first wolf that pounced.

But she could only repel the first one, and before she could recover from the force exerted, the second was already upon her.

Exhausted, Baili Xia was utterly unable to defend herself, watching as the wolf leapt towards her head.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves thundered, and the neighing of a horse went through.

Fast as lightning, powerful as a rainbow…

It was Shengxue; Shengxue had actually run inside from outside!

The wolf lunging at Baili Xia was instantly knocked away by Shengxue.

The other two wolves, before they could jump, were kicked flying by Shengxue’s hind legs.

“Shengxue, you can’t stay here, it’s dangerous!”

It wasn’t Uncle who came, and Baili Xia almost despaired.

Shengxue, just a small horse, strong as it might be, could not withstand those dozen wolves.

But Shengxue, ignoring her, continued to steadfastly shield both her and Mu Ziying with its not so large body.
