Long Rui agreed, the more people that know about the space, the more dangerous it becos.
So, he nodded and said, "Okay, I’ll listen to you."
The two of them sat inside for a while longer, eating so fruits and snacks. They only decided to go out once they were full.
The space had everything—food, drinks, everything was there.
Xuexue said, "Should we take so food out for them to eat?"
Long Rui shook his head and said, "Better not. What if they ask where the food ca from? There’s no way to explain it."
The space is top secret and must not be revealed to others, otherwise Xuexue would be in danger.
Moreover, all the items they prepared to take to the Capital were personally checked by Zi Xia. If so many things suddenly appeared, she would definitely be suspicious.
Just as they were about to leave the space, they suddenly heard strange noises from outside, coming from far to near, like the sound of many horses galloping.
"What’s going on?" Long Rui beca alert, pricking up his ears to listen carefully.
Xuexue pulled him up, "Oh, stop listening, let’s hurry out."
Outside.
Long Yi was chatting with Zi Xia when suddenly, in the distance, a few wolf howls sounded. At first, they weren’t concerned, thinking it was normal to hear wolf calls in the Deep Mountains and Ancient Forests, as long as they were far away.
Later, they gradually sensed sothing was wrong. The wolf howls were increasing, and under the dim moonlight, countless green eyes in the distant bushes were slowly closing in on them...
The horses tied to a nearby grove began to let out chilling screams of pain, which gradually faded into silence, apparently having t a grim fate.
Long Yi imdiately stood up alertly, perford Qinggong, leaped to the treetop, and upon looking up, was so frightened he shivered all over, and imdiately jumped back down from the tree...
He hurriedly said to Zi Xia, "The Wolves Pack is coming, quickly get back to the carriage."
Zi Xia was also startled. She knew wolves are pack animals, fond of hunting together. Once humans encounter them, chances of survival are slim.
At this mont, Long Yue and Xuexue also ca down from the carriage.
Long Rui said tensely, "Looks like we’ve run into the Wolves Pack. Long Yi, quickly light the torches."
Xuexue didn’t quite understand and asked, "Light a fire? Shouldn’t we be running away?"
Long Rui said, "It’s too late. We have to act quickly."
So, under Long Rui’s guidance, they surrounded the carriage with firewood, then set it ablaze. Fortunately, they were prepared and had gathered a lot of firewood, enough to hold off for a while.
Just as they finished preparing, the Wolves Pack had already approached. Upon seeing the fire, they all backed away in caution, yet the food ahead made them reluctant to leave, and they silently waited by the fire.
"Awoo, awoo!"
The howls of the wolves echoed far and wide...
The Wolves Pack stayed outside the fire, unwilling to leave, continuously howling. Hearing the calls, more wolves kept arriving from all directions.
In the blink of an eye, the area outside the carriage was densely packed with wolves. Xuexue roughly estimated that there were at least several thousand, if not over ten thousand wolves, which made her shudder. Could it be that all the wolves in the Deep Mountains and Ancient Forests had gathered here tonight?
Since wolves are naturally afraid of fire, with the fire blocking them, they could only watch from outside, countless pairs of green eyes fixed on the people inside, tongues constantly licking their lips, as if the people before them were already caught prey, incapable of escape!
