Huanhuan threw out a total of five fishing rods. Other than the fishing rod in Bai Di’s hand, she handed the other four fishing rods to Big Goody, Dos, Tres, and Little Monster to watch over.
Huanhuan reminded them softly, “Once you notice any movement, pull up the fishing rod immediately.”
The wolf cubs obediently squatted on the ground and stared at the fishing rods without blinking. Each of them was more serious than the other.
After a long time, the fish still did not take the bait. The wolf cubs could not sit still anymore.
Huanhuan said, “Fishing is like hunting. You have to be patient.”
!!
Hearing their mother say this, the wolf cubs calmed down and continued to guard the fishing rods.
Huanhuan’s gaze swept across the five fishing rods one by one. She suddenly realized that Bai Di’s rod was moving. She quickly exclaimed, “Bai Di, there’s fish!”
As soon as she said the first word, Bai Di noticed the fishing rod move in his hand. He quickly pulled it back. A fat big fish flew out of the water and wagged its tail vigorously in midair.
The wolf cubs widened their eyes in envy.
Bai Di caught the big fish, opened its mouth, and took out the bait.
Huanhuan happily carried the bamboo basket over to place the big fish in.
Bai Di followed Huanhuan’s example. He hooked the earthworm to the bait and swung it into the river. He stared at the rod. “The traitor is hiding very well. We need to be patient and wear him down.”
Shuang Yun scratched his short silver-white hair. “But we don’t have much time left. We can’t afford to waste it.”
“Then we’ll learn from Huanhuan’s method. Let’s prepare bait too. We’ll lure that traitor out of the water and capture him.”
“You mean…”
Bai Di said unhurriedly, “Who knew about the Black Crystal City and Blue Crystal City’s attack?”
“Only the five city lords and me.” Shuang Yun paused. “And the witch doctors they brought with them.”
“That means the big fish is probably hiding among these beasts. Circle them and throw in bait. Then, keep an eye on them and see if any of them bites the bait.”
Shuang Yun looked thoughtful. “I understand.”
He got up and left. In the blink of an eye, he was gone.
Huanhuan watched him leave. “Where did he go?”
Bai Di smiled. “He’s going fishing too.”
…
Early the next morning, Shuang Yun called the other five city lords and the witch doctors they had brought for a meeting in the main tent.
Shuang Yun paced on the spot and frowned. “I went back and thought about it carefully. We don’t have much time left. We can’t continue wasting time like this.”
The city lord of Golden Crystal City immediately said, “There’s only half of the given time left. We have to act quickly. Otherwise, no one will be able to plete the mission.”
The others echoed, “That’s right! There’s not much time. We have to act quickly!”
Shuang Yun waved at them to get them to quiet down.
“To be honest, I’m actually quite anxious as we lost a hundred beast soldiers the last time. I’m afraid that this time…”
The city lord of Blue Crystal City said firmly, “What happened the last time is a matter of the past. We’ve learned our lesson from the last time. This time, we won’t be in a hurry. Let’s advance steadily together. What happened the last time definitely won’t happen again!”
Shuang Yun glanced at his arm. “How’s your injury?”
At the mention of this, the city lord of Blue Crystal City was very proud. “I’m all recovered!”
Shuang Yun was skeptical. “Really? How did you recover so quickly? I remember that the bones in your arm were broken. You were seriously injured. You couldn’t have recovered anytime soon.”
“My injuries have really healed. If you don’t believe me, look!” The city lord rolled up his sleeve, revealing his intact arm.
Not only had his injuries healed, but there was not even a scar.
This healing speed was too shocking!
Everyone present looked stunned.
Someone asked, “How did you recover?”
The city lord of Blue Crystal City was about to speak when Jiang Bo spoke first.
“Our city lord’s physique is different from ordinary people. His wounds heal faster than ordinary people. In addition, I gave him some medicine, so his wounds were able to pletely recover in a short amount of time.”
The city lord of Black Crystal City, who was also injured, couldn’t help but ask, “What medicine is it?”
“It’s a type of medicine I specially developed. After taking it, the wounds can heal quickly, but the process is very painful. Ordinary people can’t endure it at all. Moreover, there might be repercussions in the future. If our city lord hadn’t insisted on recovering quickly so that he could participate in the battle, I wouldn’t have given him such aggressive medicine.”
In the end, Jiang Bo sighed helplessly, looking like he had no choice.
Hearing him say this, everyone noticed that the city lord of Blue Crystal City looked much paler than yesterday. He looked haggard.
It seemed that this medicine was indeed very ferocious. The city lord of Black Crystal City, who originally wanted to give it a try, hesitated for a moment before choosing to give up.
He had injured his shoulder, and the wound was deep, but he should be able to recover after some rest. He did not have to work as hard as the city lord of Blue Crystal City.
Shuang Yun pondered for a moment before gritting his teeth as if he had made up his mind. “Since the city lord of Blue Crystal City has recovered from his injuries, our chances of winning have increased. Time is precious. We can’t delay any longer. Let’s discuss the battle plan today and choose a time within the next two days to launch an all-out attack on the demons!”
Everyone quickly agreed.
“I was waiting for you to say that!”
For the entire day, they gathered in the tent to discuss battle plans. The meeting only ended when it was dark.
Shuang Yun returned to his tent. Huanhuan had already fallen asleep beside the white tiger. The white tiger was very warm, and she slept soundly.
Shuang Yun couldn’t bear to wake her up. He squatted outside the tent and finished two large pieces of jerky. Then, he washed his face before carefully returning to the tent. He transformed into a Silvery Frost White Wolf and fell asleep next to Huanhuan.
The next morning, Huanhuan opened her eyes and found no one beside her.
After rubbing her sleepy eyes, she got up and got dressed. She lifted the hide curtain and walked out. She saw Bai Di and Shuang Yun standing by the river talking.
Huanhuan walked over with a cup and a willow branch. She greeted the two of them. “Morning.”
Bai Di and Shuang Yun stopped talking and looked at her.
Huanhuan squatted by the river and scooped a cup of river water. She wet the willow branch and stuffed it into her mouth to brush her teeth.
When she finished brushing her teeth and washing her face, Bai Di took out a small b and skillfully bed her hair.
Shuang Yun was envious and wanted to help Huanhuan b her hair. He had just stretched out his claws when Huanhuan slapped them away.
“With your clumsiness, you definitely won’t know how to b my hair.”
Shuang Yun was unconvinced. “How do you know I can’t b your hair if you don’t let me try?!”
Huanhuan pointed at Big Goody not far away and said, “You don’t even know how to braid your daughter’s hair!”
Big Goody looked confused.
‘I was just passing by!’
