Senior sister, don't be stubborn, you are already invincible.

"Ahead is Devil Wolf Ridge. After passing this bend, this trip will be over."

A vendor pointed to the Demon Wolf Bay ahead and said.

Tang Shi looked up and found a dark, bottomless cliff in front of him.

Later, the convoy will drive on this winding and steep cliff and enter the Demon Wolf Ridge.

"There are many dangers in Demon Wolf Ridge. Sprinkle more animal repellent powder."

"Also, Demon Wolf Ridge is a very special monster area. The Demon Wolf that grows here is a kind of third-level monster that lives in groups. Please try not to make too much noise."

Commander Zhao Zhiyuan warned from the front.

"Yes."

Everyone nodded in response.

After spreading wild animal powder around the carriage, the convoy moved forward slowly.

There were no more voices, only the sound of wheels grinding against the ground.

Passing through the winding cliffs, the scene ahead suddenly becomes clear.

The first thing you see is two towering peaks, which reach straight into the sky, as if they are stuck in the clouds.

Between the two peaks, a wide and flat official road runs through.

There are high mountains and lush forests on both sides, and occasionally you can hear the roar of beasts.

This is the Demon Wolf Ridge.

Everyone's breathing could not help but become much lighter, for fear of alarming those terrifying monsters in the forest.

"Everyone, be careful. We are about to cross the canyon. This is our last level. It will be safe if we cross it. Before that, please don't take it lightly."

Zhao Zhiyuan reminded again.

Then he led the caravan and continued walking towards the canyon.

Behind them, a strong smell of blood suddenly blew into the canyon with the cold north wind, forming a blood mist in the canyon.

"Woooooo~"

There were bursts of weird howling sounds in the canyon.

This sound made everyone's heart shrink.

The danger has arrived.

"No, protect the young master!" Zhao Zhiyuan drew his sword and shouted.

In the canyon ahead, hundreds of huge black wolves suddenly surged up. A pair of scarlet eyes stared at their caravan, as if they had been staring at it for a long time.

"Ow~"

A shrill howl resounded through the canyon.

Black demonic wolves surged towards them like a tide.

Everyone took up arms to fight.

For a moment, there were flashes of swords and shadows, and bursts of killing sounds.

Tang Shi did not dare to hesitate and drew his sword to face the enemy.

Xuan Xiao, who was beside her, was not to be outdone. He grabbed the sword at his waist and charged towards the black wolf.

But the third-level demon wolf is powerful and fast.

Far from being something that foundation-building monks like them could contend with, Tang Shi and Xuan Xiao worked together to kill a demonic wolf. Before they could take a breath, they suddenly heard a cry of surprise.

"Protect the son!"

Tang Shi looked back and saw a thin man waving a short blade and rushing towards Xu Yunxian.

Xu Yunxian rolled to avoid the fatal blow, but the short blade in the man's hand cut through the clothes on his left shoulder, and scarlet blood immediately dyed his outer shirt red.

"Be careful, son!"

Xuan Xiao exclaimed and hurried forward, blocking Xu Yunxian's body and confronting the man.

"There is a spy in the caravan, please escort the young master away first!"

Zhao Zhiyuan ordered while struggling to resist the demon wolf.

Now, not only do they have to face the attack of the demonic wolves, but they also have to be wary of the tricks in the caravan.

This is really a leak in the house and it rains all night.

For some reason, facing this situation, Tang Shi felt restless for no reason, and had the urge to leave everyone behind and run away first.

She took two steps forward when the commander suddenly called her by name and abruptly stopped her unwanted thoughts.

"Ji Huang, you and Xuan Xiao will escort the young master out of here first!"

Tang Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, paused, and responded: "Yes."

On the way there, a huge demonic wolf opened its big mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, and bit at her.

She raised her hand and swung her sword.

A sword seals the throat.

The demon wolf's body froze for an instant, and fell to the ground with a roar.

Tang Shi didn't take a second glance and walked straight towards Xu Yunxian.

"Take the young master and let's go."

Xuanxiao was not ambiguous and quickly left the canyon with Xu Yunxian.

"Run wherever you want!"

With an angry rebuke, the thin man shot an arrow from his raised hand. The arrow drew a graceful arc in the air and hit Xu Yunxian's back.

Tang Shi looked stern, raised his hand and flicked a sword light, knocking down the arrow.

The attack was blocked, and the thin man turned his head and glared at Tang Shi, his eyes full of hatred, and when he raised his arm, a black energy burst out.

Tang Shi hurriedly dodged to the left.

"Whoosh~"

The arrow grazed her temples, and a strand of hair fell to the ground.

"You little bitch, you dare to ruin my good deeds, go to hell!" The thin man shouted, raising his palm again, and thick black smoke surged from his palm, heading towards Tang Shi.

Before Tang Shi could react too much, the commander Zhao Zhiyuan rushed over and stood in front of Tang Shi.

A blast of energy hit the leader, Zhao Zhiyuan, and knocked him to the ground.

"Nothing can happen to the young master, Ji Huang, you should understand what I mean, right?!"

After Zhao Zhiyuan said that, he raised his sword and faced the man again.

Tang Shi didn't hesitate at all, turned around and ran towards the outside of the canyon in the direction Xu Yunxian left.

……

Xuan Xiao took Xu Yunxian and fled for dozens of miles.

After confirming that no one was following, we found a relatively secluded cave and stopped.

"Sir, can you help me take care of your injury?" Xuan Xiao said worriedly.

Xu Yunxian tilted his head and looked at the spot on his shoulder that was scratched by the arrow feathers. The bloody look was scary.

He pondered for a moment, and then said: "That's fine."

Xuan Xiao immediately took out the ointment and cloth and helped Xu Yunxian clean up his injuries.

The two of them were so close that Xuan Xiao could even smell the faint sandalwood on Xu Yunxian's body.

Her cheeks were a little hot, and the movements in her hands were getting faster and faster.

"Sir, it's alright."

Xuan Xiao put down the things in his hands and lowered his head, not daring to meet Xu Yunxian's eyes.

"Thank you, Miss Xuan." Xu Yunxian said.

"Young Master, you're welcome. This is what I should do."

Xuan Xiao shook his head in panic and stayed away from him.

And her little head hung lower.

"In the panic situation just now, Miss Xuan stood up for me. I am very grateful."

Xu Yunxian had a vague smile on his face, paused, and then said: "But I have a question for the girl, who sent you here?"

Xuan Xiao was startled, and the shy look faded from his face, replaced by a piece of frost.

"It's inconvenient to reveal this, young master, please feel free to go on your way!"

Finished.

Xuan Xiao's sword has been unsheathed, and the tip of the sword has been pointed at Xu Yunxian's throat.

The sound of breaking the air suddenly sounded.

A cold light struck from behind Xuan Xiao.

Scarlet blood flowed down Xuan Xiao's snow-white neck.

Xuan Xiao's eyes widened, his pupils shrank, and he slowly fell to the ground.

Xu Yunxian looked at Xuan Xiao quietly, with the expression on his face still calm, as if nothing had happened.

After a long time, he spoke out.

"Ji Huang, aren't you going to show up?"

Xu Yunxian's voice was neither light nor heavy, and it just happened to reach another direction in the forest.

A slender shadow stood in the shadow of a big tree.

The wind in the forest blew away her messy black hair.
