Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

people?

No, the sound of those footsteps doesn't sound like a human running.

If it's not human, then it can only be a monster in this place.

They ran towards this direction, and there seemed to be more than one of them; judging from their voices, it was at least a small group.

"Xiao Xun, it sounds like something's rushing this way!" Even Dong Yang could hear it, meaning the unknown monster was very close. He instinctively looked at the large sack he was clutching, "Could it be...?"

The One-Horned Hourglass Python is a solitary, living monster that would never seek revenge. Even if it did, it wouldn't make this kind of sound, since they don't have legs and wouldn't make running noises.

Guan Xun grabbed Dong Yang's elbow, quickly looked around, and pulled him behind a huge tree not far away to hide.

Just as they had hidden themselves, a grayish-brown thing suddenly appeared from the direction deep in the forest!

Countless specks of blue light hung on that thing, which was extremely terrifying!

What on earth is this thing?!

Guan Xun poked half his head out, his eyes slightly narrowed, staring intently at the mass, trying to figure out what kind of monster it was.

Immediately, she felt her arm being tightly gripped. Guan Xun frowned, turned her head and glanced behind her. She saw that Dong Yang's face was pale and extremely solemn. Even though they were very close, she could not hear the other person breathing at all.

No way... ...you're so scared you don't even dare to breathe?

She ignored him and turned to look at the lump of something again.

We were too far away to see what that thing looked like, but in such a short time, we've gotten very close.

Only then did Guan Xun see their appearance clearly.

They were a pack of demon wolves!

The specks of blue light were their shrewd eyes! Their numbers were enormous, numbering over a dozen.

They leaped over the bushes and landed on the ground ahead, continuing to run as if they dared not stop for even a moment.

The line was a mess, almost scrambling to get ahead. Was something chasing them from behind?

The highest rank in the wolf pack was only second rank. Due to the difference in rank, the lowest rank were all first-rank demon wolves, panting heavily as they ran.

Guan Xun frowned. The only things that could frighten them in this forest were probably high-ranking demonic beasts, or a large group of high-level spiritual masters chasing them.

But she didn't sense the presence of any spirit masters. Could they be very far away?

Guan Xun looked at the trampled weeds ahead, a thoughtful look in her eyes. Over there... she really didn't feel any movement. Could it be that the wolf pack was acting like this because of some urgent matter?

Leave it alone.

Guan Xun turned his gaze to the tail of the wolf pack, pulled off the claws that were gripping his elbow, then groped at his waist and suddenly pulled out a dagger and held it in his hand.

“Xiao Xun…” Dongyang was taken aback. Seeing that his sister’s expression was not good, he unconsciously took a step back.

Guan Xun glanced at him sideways, his eyes filled with coldness, which terrified Dong Yang.

Seriously…did I hurt her just now? That wouldn't warrant hitting her, would it? And with a dagger, no less!

Guan Xun pressed the dagger against his chest, and he instantly froze, his face even paler than before.

To his surprise, Guan Xun simply patted his chest a few times with the dagger, and then a smile spread across his face.

"Watch closely, I'm going to show you something."

She circulated her energy, and a white spiritual force appeared in her hand, spreading out and firmly binding the dagger.

Then, aiming at the last wolf, he forcefully flung it away! The sound of the dagger cutting through the air was masked by the sound of the wolves running, and they didn't notice the danger.

The dagger struck the hind leg of the wolf at the bottom of the pack with pinpoint accuracy. It howled in pain, its hind leg snapped, and it lost its balance, crashing heavily against a nearby tree trunk!

The wolf in front seemed to sense something and ran even faster, disappearing from Guan Xun's sight in the blink of an eye.

Is it really that serious? It's like seeing a ghost.

Guan Xun was slightly speechless. She immediately stepped forward and stomped on the wolf's neck. With a flick of her finger, the dagger that had fallen to the distance swiftly returned to her hand.

He re-infused it with spiritual energy and then used the hilt of the dagger to smash the wolf's skull. This time, the wolf fell completely silent.

Before she could even warm the dagger in her hand, she tossed it at Dongyang, who was rushing forward, a smug smile playing on her lips.

Dongyang's cheeks and ears were burning. He was ashamed, ashamed that he had just thought his sister would hurt him, and ashamed of his powerlessness.

He hurriedly caught the dagger, glanced at Guan Xun's smug face, and then his gaze fell on the demon wolf she was standing on.

He gritted his teeth, threw the sack on the ground, and strode forward, squatting down.

"I……"

"Let me show you what I can do."

Having said that, he raised the dagger high and traced its outline around the demon wolf, but couldn't find a starting point.

Guan Xun: ... ...

Dongyang: ... ...

They were silent.

"What are you thinking about? I told you to wipe it clean." Guan Xun finally couldn't help but speak first, truly feeling that this person's mind was sometimes good and sometimes bad.

"Huh?" Dongyang was stunned. He choked when he saw the look that someone was giving him, as if he were a fool.

He...is overthinking it.

He sighed deeply, wiped the dagger clean with the weeds beside him, handed it back to Guan Xun, and then pulled over a rough burlap sack. "I'll put it in."

He was still not used to the fact that his sister was already a spiritual master, and he kept thinking about what he could do to protect her.

It's not something he can control that he's not quick-witted.

Seeing that Dongyang had already packed up the demon wolves, Guan Xun looked intently in the direction the wolf pack had gone and murmured to himself.

"So...it really is a high-level demonic beast?"

Guan Xun licked his dry lips, then suddenly clutched his stomach, looking pained. "Dongyang, my stomach hurts. Wait here for me a bit."

She had to find a way to sneak off and take a look. She definitely couldn't take Dongyang with her. If it really was a high-level demon beast and she was accidentally discovered, it would be difficult for her to escape with a burden like that.

Ever since he learned that his younger sister was mischievous, Dongyang hadn't really believed her. But now her expression was so realistic. Could it be that she really did have an upset stomach?

Guan Xun didn't expect Dong Yang to respond. Instead, he quickly set up a spiritual energy barrier behind a large tree and threw Dong Yang and the two sacks inside.

"Don't come out. This way you can avoid being discovered by monsters."

After saying that, he dashed off into the depths of the forest.

His nimble movements showed no trace of the pain he had just endured from his stomachache.

Dongyang wanted to call out to her, but there was no one in sight. He could only swallow his words, and a deep worry appeared on his face.
