Little Black ran out of the cave, and Scarface kept yelling at him to slow down. However, he could only watch helplessly as the Tibetan Mastiff disappeared from sight. Just as he became more and more agitated, Little Black reappeared.

"Woof!"

Scarface was startled and cursed, "You son of a bitch! You think I won't beat you to death?"

Little Black's eyes stared coldly at him: "Woof woof woof!"

Scarface stared at it for two seconds, then gave in: "Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. Just lead the way."

Xiao Hei turned and ran.

Scarface followed closely behind, and after running for an unknown amount of time, the light ahead grew brighter and brighter. He shouted and rushed out.

"Holy shit!"

Scarface retreated in fear.

There wasn't a single wild animal left at the cave entrance, not even a hair. Not only was there nothing to eat, but there was also a pack of wolves eyeing him menacingly, eager to tear him apart. Scarface counted them; there were nine in total.

After running out of the cave, Xiao Hei looked around and then dashed out.

Its direction is right at the epicenter of the earthquake.

At this moment, Gu Yunzhen, Gong Wujue, and the three mercenary teams were all less than 100 meters away from the epicenter of the earthquake.

When the alpha wolf saw Little Black run away, it immediately howled and led all the wolves in pursuit.

Scarface was safe, on the contrary.

But Scarface plopped down on the ground, almost thinking he was going to die there. Worried that the wolves would eat the dog and come back, he quickly got up and walked into the cave. Nothing was more important than living.

Xiao Hei ran wildly through the deep mountains at top speed.

However, wolves are faster.

However, the alpha wolf does not want to fight its prey, but chooses to wear it down, following behind it at a leisurely pace.

Gong Wujue's team was the first to arrive at the epicenter of the earthquake.

During this time, they found two more bodies, both of which have been confirmed as wanted criminals.

Then they found the carcass of a black bear.

The black bear was shot, and they quickly found a gun nearby.

Gong Wujue held the gun, his face grim.

The discoveries they made along the way proved that they were heading in the right direction. Just as they continued onward, they saw a black Tibetan mastiff charging towards them.

Everyone was on high alert, only to discover that a pack of gray wolves were following behind it, clearly hunting the Tibetan Mastiff.

Xiao Hei didn't stop for a moment when it saw the stranger.

But when the gray wolves saw humans, they slowed down.

"Captain, should we intervene?"

Upon hearing this, Gong Wujue spoke with a cold expression: "Survival of the fittest, finding the right person is the priority."

He took two steps back to avoid the wolf pack's pursuit.

His teammates also retreated.

Just then, Gu Yunzhen's team arrived at the scene, along with Anan, Du Wei, and others. They had met up after dawn.

"Fourth Young Master, those are the Lone Wolf Group members over there," Anan said, pointing in the direction where Gong Wujue and his group were.

Gu Yunzhen glanced at them indifferently. He wasn't interested in them. The most important thing right now was to find Shangguan Wu. But what he saw was a black Tibetan mastiff being chased by a pack of wolves.

A glint of light flashed in Gu Yunzhen's deep eyes as he shouted, "Xiao Hei!"

Anan and Duwei were astonished.

Gu Shiyi asked, "Is that Xiao Hei?"

Du Wei nodded.

Anan said, "I thought Xiao Hei was trapped under the rubble. When did it come to the mountains?"

When Xiao Hei heard his name called, he looked in the direction of the sound.

Gu Yunzhen called out again, "Xiao Hei, come here!"

Du Wei also called out, "Little Black!"

Anan jumped up and shouted, "Little Black, come quick!"

Xiao Hei changed direction and ran towards them.

The alpha wolf stopped upon seeing this.

Upon seeing the Tibetan Mastiff being held by those two-legged creatures, the alpha wolf howled and quickly led the other wolves away.

Anan hugged the Tibetan Mastiff and said happily, "Oh, Little Black, I thought you were buried. I didn't expect you to run into the mountains. What are you doing in the mountains?"

Little Black struggled in his arms.

"Woof!"

Gu Yunzhen stared at the man and the dog, a dangerous aura lurking in her narrowed eyes.

While looking up at the sky, Liu Qing secretly kicked Anan.

Anan almost knelt down.

"Holy crap, who kicked me?" Anan turned around.

Liu Qing: "..."

Du Wei: "..."

Gu Shiyi: "..."

Seeing their speechless expressions, Anan belatedly glanced at the Fourth Young Master out of the corner of his eye.

Gu Yunzhen said in a deep voice: "Let it go!"

"Alright!" Anan immediately let go of Xiao Hei and stood up.

Xiao Hei whimpered, sniffed with its sensitive nose, walked to Du Wei's side, grabbed Du Wei's trouser leg, and pulled her in the direction she came from.

Du Wei stood still and looked at Gu Yunzhen.

Gu Yunzhen ordered, "Follow them."

Du Wei followed Xiao Hei forward. Xiao Hei let go of him and ran forward. Du Wei also started running. Only then did Xiao Hei take off running wildly.

Du Wei quickly chased after her.

Gu Yunzhen and the others followed closely behind Du Wei.

Seeing this, Gong Wujue frowned thoughtfully.

Why are they running after a dog?

"I don't know who they are, or why they're coming into the mountains at this time."

“I talked to some of them in Tamzhai before. Their mistress came to the Yukang Mountain area to do charity work, and they were bodyguards. By the way, the hostage was their mistress. They must have come into the mountains to rescue people.”

Upon hearing this, Gong Wujue's sharp, blade-like gaze shot straight at him.

"What did you say?" His voice was as cold as ice.

Feeling uneasy under his gaze, the man nervously asked, "Captain, what's wrong?"
