Chapter 384: Killing Intent!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Bai Di’s words seemed casual, but Huanhuan felt guilty for no reason.
As the saying went, the speaker did not take too many things into consideration but the listener would be the one affected.
Because of this, Huanhuan did not dare to speak nonsense for the entire night. She was very obedient.
When Huanhuan wasn’t looking, Shuang Yun frowned at Bai Di. “Why did you say that to her?”
Bai Di knew he had spoken too abruptly.
!!
Even if he did think that, he couldn’t say it.
They had long formed a tacit understanding not to ask about Huanhuan’s past or pursue her origins and past.
Bai Di was silent for a moment. “I’m sorry. I said too much. I’ll pay attention in the future.”
Shuang Yun looked at him. “We understand your worries. To be honest, we’re just as worried as you are about whether she’ll suddenly leave one day, but you can’t show that worry. You know, those pasts are her secrets. Just mentioning them makes her nervous. What if we scare her away?!”
Bai Di pinched his temples. “I know.”
Shuang Yun patted his shoulder and sighed silently.
The next morning, Huanhuan and the others left the rock mountain and headed for the City of 10,000 Beasts.
The Silvery Frost White Wolf led the way at the front of the team. The white tiger carried Huanhuan and followed closely behind.
Xue Ling and Xue Hui spread their wings and flew in the sky with the other two feather beasts.
They traveled faster. In order to block the wind, Huanhuan specially wrapped herself in an animal hide cloak. She covered her face with a veil, revealing only her eyes.
She glanced back at the rock mountain and saw that the children were still watching them from the bottom.
Huanhuan waved her arm for the children to go back.
The tall sword tree stood at the foot of the mountain. The red sun rose slowly behind it, giving it a golden edge.
It seemed to be waving goodbye to Huanhuan while guarding the rock mountain beside it.
When the rock mountain gradually disappeared, it became a small dot in her vision.
Huanhuan reluctantly looked away and sighed. “I just left and I’m already missing the children.”
Bai Di said, “If things go well, we’ll be home in two months.”
Huanhuan pulled at her collar, which was a little loose from the wind, and sighed. “I hope it goes well.”
…
In order to speed up, they only stopped for a night every two days.
In the past two days, they basically didn’t stop except for eating and drinking. They spent almost the entire day traveling.
It was rare for them to stop and rest tonight. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and hunted a few preys on the spot. After killing them, they started eating.
Roasting meat was too time-consuming. They all ate raw meat directly. Although it tasted a little bad, it saved them time.
Huanhuan really couldn’t accept eating raw meat. Fortunately, she had brought dry food with her. She took out a biscuit and a few fruits. After eating them, she was full.
The forest was very cold at night. Fortunately, the white tiger was very warm. Huanhuan leaned against him and covered his tail. It felt especially comfortable.
The Silvery Frost White Wolf sat on a rock not far away and looked into the distance, estimating the direction they should go next.
The moonlight fell on him, making him look like an ice sculpture of a wolf.
Xue Ling folded his wings and landed beside her.
The Silvery Frost White Wolf turned to look at him. “Is the road ahead easy?”
Xue Ling said, “The road ahead is flat. It’s quite easy to walk on.”
“That’s good.”
Xue Ling continued, “But there’s a canyon in front. I heard that it’s called One-Line Sky. There are cliffs on both sides of the canyon. The pa.s.sage in the middle is just enough for one beast to pa.s.s through. That’s a good place to set up an ambush.”
The Silvery Frost White Wolf pondered and said, “Are you saying that there might be an ambush there?”
“I checked when I flew over just now. I didn’t see any traces of beast activity.”
“But we can’t guarantee that no one will be there tomorrow morning.”
Xue Ling nodded. “Yes, we can’t guarantee that. Why don’t I fly over again and camp there for the night? If I see anyone coming, I’ll inform you.”
However, the Silvery Frost White Wolf said, “Forget it. You’ve been flying for two days. You’re tired enough. Don’t torture yourself. Quickly go to sleep. Otherwise, Huanhuan’s heart will ache if you have black circles under your eyes tomorrow morning.”
Xue Ling smiled. “I want her to feel sorry for me.”
“Stop fooling around. If you’re too smart for your own good, your heart will ache. Huanhuan’s anger will be enough to make you suffer!”
Shuang Yun’s words reminded Xue Ling of his previous painful experiences after causing trouble. He calmed down and decided to restrain himself a little.
It hadn’t been easy for him to coax the little female. If he lost her again, he would cry to death!
“Then I’ll go back to bed. You should sleep early too.”
After Xue Ling left, the Silvery Frost White Wolf still squatted on the rock. He looked into the distance for a while, then looked back at Huanhuan, who was sleeping soundly.
No matter how cold the night was and no matter how dangerous the road ahead was, as long as Huanhuan was by his side, he was fearless.
The beasts woke up before dawn the next day.
Bai Di glanced at Huanhuan, who was still sleeping, and gestured for everyone to be quiet.
They ate breakfast quietly, then transformed into their beast forms and continued on their way.
When Huanhuan woke up, she realized that she was lying on the white tiger’s back. On both sides were scenes that kept retreating. Everyone was rushing.
She sat up and rubbed her eyes. “Why didn’t you wake me up?” she asked in a m.u.f.fled voice.
The white tiger looked back at her. “You’re tired. You need to rest more.”
Huanhuan asked, “Aren’t you tired? You’ve been traveling non-stop.”
“We’re not tired. We’re stronger than you. We’re just hurrying. It’s nothing.”
“Have you had breakfast, then?”
“I’ve eaten.” The white tiger reminded her as they traveled, “There’s hot food and soup in the s.p.a.ce that I made in advance. If you’re hungry, go get it yourself. We’re in a hurry, so I might not be able to take care of you. If you feel uncomfortable, you have to tell me.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Huanhuan had just woken up and had no appet.i.te. She took out two sweet fruits and finished them. She was almost full.
By now, they had entered the canyon.
There were towering cliffs on both sides, and the light suddenly dimmed.
Xue Ling, Xue Hui, and the other two feathered beasts flew in the air. They looked down from above in case anyone was setting up an ambush here.
As the canyon was very narrow, they could only pa.s.s through one wolf beast at a time. There were more than 20 of them, but they had no choice but to walk in one line.
The Silvery Frost White Wolf was still at the front. He let out a low whistle, signaling the wolf beasts behind him to be on guard.
Huanhuan seemed to sense the change in the atmosphere. She raised her head and looked around.
There was a lot of green gra.s.s on the rock wall, and there was a thin stream of water flowing down the gaps in the wall.
It made a dripping sound.
Huanhuan extended her hand.
The moment the water droplets landed on her palm, killing intent appeared!
More than 30 little beasts suddenly rushed out of the gra.s.s and pounced at the wolf beasts!
