When Uqi led his troops to the place where Tash had died, it was already broad daylight.
Pools of blood froze into ice, and the Tartar who had been killed by wolves the night before was frozen stiff, covered with a thin layer of snow.
The Tartars returned and went back to Wuqi to report.
Wu Qi's expression grew increasingly grim, and a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.
A moment later, she made a circle with her finger, put it to her mouth, and whistled.
Before long, a thunderous eagle cry echoed above the Tartar soldiers' horses.
Tadar's 'Overlord' flew over everyone's heads and continued flying southwest.
Wu Qi narrowed her eyes slightly and said loudly, "Continue to track 'Overlord'."
An eagle spreads its wings and soars over the grassland.
Meanwhile, Lu Qiqi and the wolf pack had already arrived at the dense forest.
The wolf pack was too large; there weren't enough in Lu Qiqi's space. There were too many rabbits for the injured wolves to eat.
Therefore, she rode on Xiao Ye and followed Wang Cai into the dense forest.
When she arrived at the dense forest, she saw that there were still wolves in the forest.
The wolf pack was small, but there was a group of wolf cubs, who appeared to be the mother wolf and her cubs who stayed behind at the camp.
When Lu Qiqi saw the wolf cubs, she couldn't help but feel emotional. When she found Wangcai, he was even smaller than these walking wolf cubs.
Like a pitiful creature, it relied on the spring water to keep itself alive.
When the cubs saw the wolf pack return, they whimpered and crawled out of the dense forest.
When they see the king of beasts, they instinctively retract their claws. The mother wolves also seem to see a formidable enemy, howling and trying to shake the wolf to drive it away.
Then Wangcai let out a wolf howl, and the mother wolf's voice gradually faded until it disappeared completely.
However, the mother wolf's sharp, knife-like eyes remained unchanged, constantly watching Lu Qiqi's direction with vigilance.
Led by Wangcai, Xiaoye walked smoothly among the wolves.
Before long, the wolf pack stopped deep in the dense forest.
Lu Qiqi was greatly surprised by the scene before her!
Sheep that had frozen to death were found hidden in the dense forest!
Moreover, their numbers are so large that they could probably sustain a wolf pack through the winter snow.
Good heavens!
Wangcai has learned her essence; he actually led the wolf pack to stockpile food!
No wonder the Tartars went to great lengths to capture the city.
With food being lost one after another like this, who can withstand it!
It was only after leaving the city that she realized the shock Wangcai had brought her, leaving her speechless.
It's too smart. A wolf as clever as Wangcai on the grassland would be a headache for anyone.
Lu Qiqi was still in shock when, with a wolf howl, the pack of wolves rushed into the snow and began to dig at it with their claws.
Only then did she discover that the sheep stored in the snow were covered with leaves.
This way, even if the mutton freezes to death, the mutton buried underneath won't be impossible to tear off.
At this moment, Wangcai walked to Lu Qiqi's side and rubbed his pointed head against her trouser leg.
Lu Qiqi understood what it meant and stroked its forehead.
At that time, the alpha wolf leader was as docile as a loyal dog under her command, and was no longer the fierce wolf that once commanded a large following and prey that once tore apart its prey.
After a while, Lu Qiqi's hands became a little stiff from the cold. The moment she withdrew her hands, Wangcai opened his eyes and looked at her intently, as if he was somewhat reluctant to let her go.
Then, Wangcai took a few steps forward, looking back at Lu Qiqi every few steps.
Xiao Ye followed, and Wangcai threw a fat sheep out of the snow and dragged it under Xiao Ye, as if to say, "Eat whatever you want, it's on me."
With delicious food in front of her and her stomach empty, Xiao Ye didn't hold back and started tearing into the food.
It had someone on its back, and that person was a more terrifying presence than the pack of wolves, making it afraid to make any large movements.
Immediately afterwards, Wangcai dragged over an even bigger fat sheep. Xiao Ye thought it was another one of its own and opened her mouth to take a bite.
But to its surprise, Wangcai didn't give in at all, but instead looked up at the sky.
Lu Qiqi instantly understood its meaning, chuckled, and praised, "What a lucky creature!"
On the way to the dense forest, Lu Qiqi had already eaten beef jerky to fill her stomach, but she did not disappoint Wangcai's kindness and put the fat sheep that Wangcai offered into her space.
Just as Lu Qiqi was planning to rush back to the border town before the snow fell, a cry of an eagle came from the sky.
The winter snow had been falling for who knows how long, and the leaves in the dense forest had long since fallen, leaving it completely bare.
The eagle soared through the dense forest, and it wouldn't be long before the Tartar army arrived.
Lu Qiqi had heard Song Yanqing mention that Tadar kept a very intelligent eagle.
This eagle, named Overlord, soared through the sky, guiding the Tartar army in their pursuit of the Jin army.
Therefore, the Jin army had no choice but to only guard the border and no longer venture into the grasslands or into the heartland where the Tartars were stationed.
The cries of eagles continued, and Lu Qiqi's memories were awakened.
She clearly remembered that Song Yanqing had encountered this beast leading the Tartars on his way back from the Great Yu Kingdom.
This resulted in the Shadow Guards sacrificing themselves to protect Song Yanqing, almost causing Song Yanqing to be separated from her by death.
Now that we've run into each other, if we don't avenge this, I'll write Lu Qiqi's name backwards!
Lu Qiqi thought it over and finalized her plan.
However, this matter must be resolved quickly, otherwise, it will be bad if the Tartars' main force arrives.
Lu Qiqi took out a bow and arrow from her spatial storage, and then applied anesthetic to the iron arrow.
Eagles are fierce beasts; if an arrow hits one of them, there's little chance of it falling.
Applying numbing cream is necessary to ensure everything goes smoothly.
Lu Qiqi drew her bow and nocked an arrow, looked up at the flight pattern of the 'Overlord', and made a prediction in her mind.
The arrow was fired, but it only hit the right wing of the 'Overlord'.
With time running out, Lu Qiqi quickly nocked another arrow and shot it into the air.
If this arrow misses, the 'Overlord' will surely fly into the sky, and it will be too far away to be shot down.
Fortunately, Lu Qiqi was a skilled archer; she fired two arrows and brought down the 'Overlord'.
As the Overlord fell from the sky, the eagle's cry abruptly ceased.
Wangcai was always very familiar with hunting Lu Qiqi. When it saw the eagle falling, it quickly ran towards the landing direction.
Seeing this, Lu Qiqi quickly mounted Xiao Ye and rushed over.
When they arrived, 'Overlord' was still alive, struggling violently on the snow.
Lu Qiqi's arrow struck it squarely in the abdomen, but failed to kill it. The anesthetic, however, took effect, rendering it powerless to struggle and leaving it lying on the snow, barely alive.
Seeing this, Wangcai quickly ran over, bit its neck, and dragged it to Lu Qiqi.
Lu Qiqi knew that the Eagle Overlord had already recognized its master, and she naturally couldn't keep something that couldn't be used by her.
Moreover, its existence has caused the Great Jin army to lose countless troops, among whom there is a high probability that Lu Dashan was among them.
Thinking of this, Lu Qiqi directly put the 'Overlord' into her spatial storage.
She wants to pluck its feathers and boil it into soup!
