“Ya-ya-!”

Hua Shi was stunned for only a moment, and the shrill cry came from far away and seemed to be coming towards her quickly.

“Meow meow meow—!”

The black cat standing not far in front of her, upon hearing the approaching cry, began to make threatening noises in that direction, anxiously and fiercely.

"Xiao Hei!"

Hua Shi's heart was pounding, and she had a strong ominous premonition that made her subconsciously want to call the black cat back.

“Meow meow meow!!——”

The black cat's anxious cries grew more and more uneasy as the shrill cries drew closer.

“Ya-ya-!”

In the snowy forest, a dozen birds with black bodies, red eyes and purple-black feathers flew obliquely at low altitude. Their long legs left messy claw marks in the thick snow.

Hua Shi's pupils shrank slightly, and the black shadow that suddenly caught her eyes made her heart beat to her throat.

"Xiao Hei! Come back soon!"

"Meow--!!"

The alert black cat let out a high-pitched cry, showed its sharp claws, arched its body, and pounced on the black bird that kept flying towards it.

The black cat's afterimage flashed, and it fell down in the blink of an eye. It quickly bit the black bird closest to it by the long neck.

“Click…”

Dark red blood splattered out along with the bitten neck.

“Ya-ya-!”

“Mah-mah-mah…!”

The huge black birds, with their purple-black wings spread out, kicked up their long limbs and landed on the snow, scratching the ground and making a mess.

This group of black birds appeared out of nowhere and their target was obviously Hua Shi.

Hua Shi was stared at by a pair of black, sinister eyes, and her hair stood on end. When the black bird flapped its wings and swooped towards her, she hurriedly hid behind the thick tree trunk next to her.

"Meow……!!"

All that was heard was a sharp and long meow from Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei, who had already bitten off the neck of a black bird, turned around and pounced fiercely on the black bird that was about to pounce on the flower.

“Xiao Hei…!”

Hua Shi dodged the black bird's sharp claws and beak that grabbed her from time to time. When she heard the black cat's cry, she couldn't help but turn her head to look over.

The black bird circling in the low sky had already surrounded the black cat in layers. The vague shadow made it impossible for Hua Shi to find Xiao Hei.

She herself was entangled by the black bird and could not protect herself.

She kept dodging and weaving through the trees. The sound of her thumping heartbeat, accompanied by the whistling wind and snow, reached her ears clearly...

What kind of bird is this...? She has never seen one before...

It has a black body, a red stomach, purple-black wings, and a crane-like shape, but is as ferocious as a tiger. Its shrill cry is like a crow, hoarse and piercing. It flies at a low altitude, not very fast, but it is fast enough to catch up with her.

Hua Shi's mind was in a mess. She quickly shuttled through the forest, gasping for breath. The cold wind bit her bones, hissing into her throat...

As she was running, she suddenly heard a sharp, hoarse cry in her ears. This time the cry was clearly coming from the front of her.

And behind her, there was someone chasing her... She suddenly stopped, threw herself on the snow, rolled twice, and her pupils dilated several times because of fear.

Suddenly, a large group of black birds with black wings as black as ink appeared in front of her. Their cold and dark eyes were fixed on her in an instant.

Hua Shi fell on the wet and cold snow, rolled over a few times, and protected his head with one hand, "Ugh..."

"Mah-mah-mah!——"

The high-pitched cries that rose and fell continuously were circling not far behind him.

Although the wind was freezing cold, Hua Shi was sweating profusely and breathing heavily.

She didn't dare to stop at all, she quickly got up again, changed direction and continued running forward.

At this moment, she was like a headless fly, rushing around aimlessly...

"Ashi?!"

A hoarse male voice, mixed with fear, suddenly came into her ears from behind. She could vaguely hear that it seemed to be calling her name.

Hua Shi turned her head and looked over reflexively.

Then she saw a tall and strong man in thin clothes, holding a long stick with a sharp spike in one hand, poking the black bird flying in front of him, and then his agile figure rushed straight towards her.

It's Xie Mingchi...

Why is he here...?

Hua Shizhi took a quick glance and immediately came to his senses. He slipped and dodged behind the thick tree trunk beside him.

Her hands were empty, but when she looked up, she moved as fast as a rabbit, and she threw the bamboo basket aside when the black bird swooped down to grab it.

"Ashi!"

The moment she dodged, Xie Mingchi was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and in the blink of an eye, he had run to her side.

At this time, Hua Shi was already panting heavily due to exhaustion.

Her feet sank into the thick snow, feeling cold and damp, as heavy as a thousand pounds. If this group of black birds that came from nowhere continued to chase her, she would soon be unable to run.

“Give me your hand…”

A low and hoarse voice suddenly came into my ears along with the cold wind.

Her slender wrist was suddenly grabbed by a strong force. Before she could react, she felt her soft body being pulled hard and rushed forward, leaning forward as if it was about to fly out.

“Huff…”

The heavy breathing sounded like a leaky blower, gasping violently.

She ran like lightning, shadows flickering before her eyes. The dry, chilly wind kept blowing into her throat, making it astringent and painful. She even thought she could taste blood, and tears welled up in her eyes unconsciously...
