Chapter 1138

Gazing at the corpses of wild wolves scattered all over the ground, Baili Xia’s tension suddenly released, and her legs weakened, causing her to fall to the ground.

Ahead, Mu Xiaojiu and Dongfang Jin were still guarding against the remaining wolves.

Mu Xiaoyao stood behind her, too preoccupied to attend to her.

Baili Xia sat on the ground, gasping for breath with effort.

In her line of sight, the snow-white Shengxue lay motionless.

“Shengxue!” Baili Xia cried out in shock and immediately rushed over.

Blood still seeped from Shengxue’s nostrils, the blood was black.

Its body was stiff, and its breathing grew weaker and weaker.

“Poisoned?” Mu Xiaojiu frowned deeply as he looked at Shengxue’s condition.

Damn it!

It wasn’t enough for those people to set wolves on them, they even coated the wolf teeth with poison!

How desperate must one be to harm others to go to such lengths?

Shengxue stopped moving altogether, and those eyes also closed slowly in despair.

Baili Xia was so panicked she even forgot to breathe, reaching out to probe its nostrils, and at that instant, she completely froze.

Shengxue…

had already stopped breathing.

These wolves were poisoned, and the poison was very potent.

In just a few short minutes, Shengxue had died, right before her eyes.

It had come to save her, and now it had lost its own life in the process…

“No, it can’t be, Shengxue, you won’t die, you can’t, you won’t…”

Baili Xia sobbed, suddenly hugging Shengxue’s neck and crying in grief.

Why, why had Shengxue died?

Why?

It was just a little horse, it hadn’t grown up yet, it hadn’t had enough of this world!

It was so young, so small, still a child!

“Don’t die, please don’t die! Shengxue, come back to life, please, come back! Wuu wuu…”

Her cries of despair were so heartbreaking, how could anyone who heard them not feel a stab of pain?

The time a person and a horse had known each other was so short, yet the bond had become so deep, a rarity indeed.

Unfortunately, Shengxue could no longer stand up.

Just as Baili Xia was plunged into deep grief, she suddenly heard Mu Ziying’s cries.

“Dongfang Ji, what’s wrong with you… what happened to you? Don’t scare me!”

A few alarmed shouts startled everyone, making them turn around to look at Dongfang Ji.

Even Baili Xia, engrossed in her sorrow, was jolted back to reality and looked over in a daze.

Dongfang Ji’s lips were black, and his eyes slightly whitened; he had collapsed to the ground.

“Ji, what’s wrong with you?” Dongfang Jin was shocked and hurried over to pick up Dongfang Ji.

No need for an answer, everyone understood that Dongfang Ji had also been poisoned.

It looked like the wolf teeth were poisoned; Dongfang Ji had merely been bitten on the shoulder, with no other injuries on his body.

Yet Baili Xia and Mu Ziying, who had been scratched in many places, showed no signs of poisoning.

At that moment, Dongfang Jin panicked.

To get out of here and reach the hospital would take at least half an hour at the very least.

Shengxue died so quickly from the poison; they couldn’t make it in time to get Ji to the hospital!

“What to do? You can’t die! Dongfang Ji, hold on! You still have to argue with me!”

Tears instantly poured down Mu Ziying’s face.

With Shengxue gone like this, how could she remain calm upon seeing Dongfang Ji poisoned?

“Jiu, cover me, I’ll take him out.” Dongfang Jin picked up Dongfang Ji.

He was calling Mu Xiaojiu…

Jiu.

Dongfang Jin was truly panicked, and frantic.

Otherwise, the word “Jiu” would have been difficult for him to utter after all they had been through; he would most likely be unwilling to say it until his dying breath.

That used to be what he called Mu Xiaojiu as a child, just as back then, Mu Xiaojiu always called him “Jin.”
