A group of people suddenly rushed into the kitchen. The firelight reflected on the wall, and the shadows swayed like a ferocious beast with bared fangs and claws.
Yuan Zhizhi was so scared when she heard the footsteps that her face turned pale, but she forced herself to calm down and pushed the ladder down.
"Bang!" The ladder knocked over the pots and pans in the kitchen, making a loud noise, and the whole kitchen was in chaos.
The group was stunned, and someone shouted, "What's going on?!"
Taking advantage of this moment, Yuan Zhizhi bent down and climbed out from the eaves, feeling nervous.
【Ah ...
The little mouse had already keenly sensed the danger. It jumped forward quickly and jumped lightly onto the tiles. It used its limbs to exert force and its whiskers trembled, like a nimble little shadow.
Yuan Zhizhi gritted her teeth and followed it, but she was not as light as the little mouse after all. She climbed with difficulty and her hands were a little weak.
She tried her best to move forward, but before she could take a few steps, she heard a "bang bang bang" sound coming from the roof behind her.
Someone is catching up!
"Hurry! She's on top!"
Fire leaped up from below, illuminating her petite figure.
The footsteps of the pursuers were getting closer and closer. Yuan Zhizhi looked around, but found that the roof was surrounded by open space on all sides, with no cover or place to hide.
What should I do?!
Yuan Zhizhi swallowed and thought quickly about what other solutions he could use.
The group of people had already reached the rooftop and were heading towards her.
Just as it was about to pounce on her, the little mouse covered its eyes with a "squeak", unable to bear to see her being caught.
At this moment, a clear and deafening eagle cry suddenly came from the night sky, and the sound cut through the night like a sharp blade.
Immediately afterwards, a strong wind blew in my face, making the night wind around me rustle.
Yuan Zhizhi looked up and saw a huge black eagle swooping down from the night sky, its wings spread out, covering the sky and the moon.
Her eyes suddenly lit up, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
[Xiao Cang Cang! It’s Xiao Cang Cang! ]
Cangyuan's sharp golden eyes flashed with a cold light, his eagle beak slightly opened, and he let out a low cry.
At this time, a man in black rushed out and tried to approach Yuan Zhizhi. Cangyuan swooped down like lightning, and his sharp eagle claws grabbed the man's shoulder directly.
"Hiss!" The eagle's claws dug into the man's shoulder like a sharp blade, and blood instantly dyed his clothes red.
"ah--!"
The man let out a shrill scream, and before he could struggle, Cang Yuan swung him around violently, throwing him dozens of meters away like a rag. He fell heavily to the ground with a "bang" and lay motionless.
"It's Dota's eagle!" another man in black shouted in horror and began to retreat.
Cang Yuan circled in the air, and his huge wings stirred up a gust of wind, blowing the dust and leaves on the ground into the air.
The eagle's eyes were cold and sharp, making people around it afraid to get close.
Yuan Zhizhi tilted her head back and clapped her hands excitedly.
[Xiao Cang Cang is so amazing...]
She raised her hand, and her small figure stood steadily in the night wind.
Cang Yuan saw her movements, folded his wings lightly, landed steadily in front of her, and protected her behind him with his huge wings.
The men in black looked at each other, fear appeared on their faces, and they retreated at the same time.
"What should we do?" someone asked in a trembling voice.
No one dared to step forward, then someone shouted,
"Prepare your arrows! We can't let her get away! Otherwise we'll all die!"
Cangyuan let out a low roar and spread his wings slightly.
Yuan Zhizhi looked up at it and gently touched its hard feathers with her little hand.
[Thank you, Xiao Cang Cang...]
Cangyuan's eyes softened slightly, but the next moment, it spread its wings and signaled Yuan Zhizhi to hold on to its feathers.
Yuan Zhizhi's eyes lit up, she hugged Cangyuan's neck tightly, and with a flap of its wings, she took off and rushed into the night sky!
The arrows shot by the man in black followed, and Cang Yuan flew higher and higher, nimbly dodging the rain of arrows.
At the same time, Yuan Zhizhi heard a tiger roar from the ground below.
Her hair was blown by the wind, and she was a little surprised.
【Xiaobai is here too! 】
Cangyuan circled twice, and Yuan Zhizhi saw that the enlarged Xiaobai had destroyed the place where she was imprisoned.
Mice were hopping around on the roof.
The men in black were furious.
"What on earth is going on?"
"Where did this tiger come from?"
"Isn't she just a child? Why is she so scary?"
…
Seeing that it was almost done, Yuan Zhizhi patted Cang Yuan and said to Xiao Bai in his heart,
Let's go! Let's go get fat!
【Mouse! Goodbye! Take care!】
…
The Eagle Guards who rushed to search the Helan tribe's territory have not returned yet, but the time for the meeting is approaching.
Dota still went to the meeting place.
A hundred miles east of Xiaoyue City is the edge of the desert. There is no village in front and no shop behind, which is indeed an excellent place for an ambush.
The wind blew sand along the way, and the yellow sand formed a vague shadow on the horizon.
The further we went, the more desolate and empty the view became. There wasn't even a single decent plant around.
Jin Wan repeatedly dissuaded him: "Your Majesty, this is all too strange! They clearly want you to come alone. What if there's an ambush—"
Ke Duota just said in a deep voice,
"Even if this is a trap...I'm still going to go through this."
He couldn't risk putting Zhizhi in any danger.
Seeing that he could not persuade them, Jin Wan could only wave his hand in hatred and lead a team of eagle guards to lurk in the distance just in case.
When Duota rode his horse to the designated location, the surroundings were as empty as the sea. The wind blew yellow sand, bringing a sense of dryness and solemnity.
He tightened the reins, and the warhorse neighed and stopped, its four hooves stepping on the sand, raising a cloud of fine sand.
He looked around with an eagle-like gaze, but saw no one.
The wind whistled, blowing the corner of his cloak behind him.
Dotta sat quietly on his horse, expressionless.
He knew very well that the other party chose to meet him in such a place just to force him to take risks alone and leave him isolated and helpless.
However, he was more aware of one thing - the other party had calculated his weakness.
It can even be said that the effect is better than they expected.
Duota cares about Yuan Zhizhi more than they thought.
Even if there is only a one percent chance that Yuan Zhizhi was being used as a threat, he cannot let this one percent happen.
He slowly raised his hand, signaling the Eagle Guards in the distance not to act rashly.
At this moment——
Several blurry shadows appeared faintly in the wind and sand in the distance.
A group of people on horseback gradually became clearer as they slowly approached the tower.
The Eagle Guards held their breath in the distance, their hands on the hilts of their swords, their eyes fixed on the shadows, ready to act at any time.
Dota narrowed his eyes, placed his fingers lightly on the hilt of the knife at his waist, and said coldly,
"It's finally here..."
