After Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming left, four people ca out from where the battle with the wild wolves had just taken place.
These four people were the second boss and third boss, sent by the Big Boss to escort Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming down the mountain.
As soon as they erged, the third boss said, "Second brother, those two were so lucky. Just a little bit more, and they would have been eaten by the wild wolves."
"If it wasn’t for your dawdling, we would have gotten here sooner." The second boss curled his lip, feeling justified to say so.
The third boss scratched his head, sowhat embarrassed, and said, "They were lucky it was us they encountered; otherwise, it would have been over for them."
"..." The second boss was speechless. If they hadn’t encountered them, they wouldn’t have been mysteriously dragged up the mountain and wouldn’t have faced such danger.
"If they’d t anyone else, it would have been a real headache. We are top archers, after all."
"Alright, stop boasting. Let’s catch up quickly and escort them down the mountain, so we can return and report to the boss."
The third boss was indeed right. They were top archers, more skilled at long-range combat than close-range. Thus, hunting on this mountain was no problem. If they encountered others, it wouldn’t have been easy to resolve.
They stopped talking and quickly retrieved the arrows from the wolves and silently followed Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming to ensure their safe descent.
Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao were rather lucky afterward, as they didn’t encounter any large predators. They only saw small, cute animals like little white rabbits and squirrels, which made Xiaoxiao less frightened than before.
The two trudged on with difficulty, and finally, as dawn was breaking, they saw the horses tied at the foot of the mountain.
"Honey, we’ve made it down the mountain."
"Hmm." Both were very excited because they had finally escaped danger.
Yang Ming led the horses over, helped his wife onto one, mounted it himself, and the two rode towards Anyi Village.
Watching the two depart, the second boss and his group of four planned to return and report back, not forgetting to retrieve their spoils of war, as the wild wolves they hunted could fetch a good price.
The four quickly returned to the place where they’d fought the wolves.
"Second brother, didn’t we take down three wild wolves? Why is there an extra one?"
The second boss looked at the four wolves. Three had arrow wounds, but only one had knife wounds. His lips curled slightly. No wonder; they had already killed one before we arrived.
"Alright, let’s carry them back."
Each of the four carried a wolf and headed towards the stockade. They went down slowly so as not to waste ti because Yang Ming and his group descended slowly.
But climbing up, their speed was fast. Despite going uphill, their physical fitness allowed them to carry wolves up the mountain without panting, and they quickly returned to the stockade.
"Boss, we’re back."
The Big Boss saw the wolves they were carrying and knew the two had encountered danger. "Did they get down safely?"
"Yes, Boss, rest assured. They’ve made it safely down the mountain," the second boss replied.
"Were you discovered?"
"No, absolutely not. We only used arrows and didn’t go out."
The Big Boss was pleased to hear this.
At this point, the third boss spoke up, "Boss, you should have seen how dangerous it was. They almost got eaten by the wolves. Just a little more, just a little."
