"Hiss~"
A sudden, sharp pain shot through my foot.
Mu Guo frowned and squatted down, only to see that her right ankle had been cut open by a sharp plant, and blood was gushing out.
She had been so focused on guarding against the wild animals around her that she hadn't realized the plants in the jungle were just as dangerous.
Ferocious and bloodthirsty beasts lurk everywhere in Wolf's Lair.
If they smell the blood, they will surely swarm around and tear me to pieces.
After thinking for a moment, Mu Guo quickly moved to a slightly more open space, tore off a piece of cloth from her body, and then tightly wrapped the wound on her ankle, firstly to stop the bleeding, and secondly to cover up some of the smell.
The injury on her foot wasn't serious, so she didn't dare linger there. After bandaging it up, she got up and went inside, breaking off a branch with sharp thorns along the way—it might come in handy.
"Woman, have you thought this through? It's not too late to beg for mercy now. If you go any further, you'll truly have no way out."
Suddenly, Xiao Jinyan's irritating voice rang out from inside Wolf Castle.
He seemed to think it was only a matter of time before she begged for mercy.
Ha, where does that confidence come from!
Mu Guo looked around and realized that there were countless surveillance cameras installed in the Wolf Fortress. It seemed that Xiao Jin Yan was in control of his every move.
As for his voice, it was also transmitted remotely via wireless signal.
Xiao Jinyan was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected this seemingly frail woman to be so decisive and efficient.
The woman shook her head at one of the surveillance cameras.
"Young Master Xiao, I won't regret what I've decided to do. However, I hope you'll keep your promise. If I haven't begged for mercy in three days, then you must set me free!"
Xiao Jinyan's face darkened on the other end of the monitor. This woman was really arrogant!
However, he didn't think she could hold out that long.
Don't be fooled by this woman's current confident demeanor. In an hour at most, she'll be crying and begging to be let go.
“I, Xiao Jinyan, always keep my word. Alright, since you want to stay by my side and be my servant for life, I will give you that chance.”
Xiao Jinyan was full of confidence and had already started plotting how to deal with her!
"Awoo~"
Is that... the sound of a wolf?
Mu Guo's body trembled involuntarily, her hands clenched into fists again, her whole body tense, not daring to relax in the slightest.
She'd better find a place to start a fire quickly, since wild animals are afraid of fire, and the wild animals here are no exception.
If we can get through tonight safely, things will be much easier once dawn breaks.
It was completely dark, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
The wild animals, which used to hide during the day, are now becoming more active and excited.
The woman's nerves were already stretched to the limit; the slightest disturbance could cause them to snap.
Suddenly, the woman keenly sensed something rustling closer to her.
She looked around warily, clutching the thorny branch she had broken off not long ago tightly in her hand.
A sudden, sharp pain shot through her foot, causing her to instinctively frown.
What bit her was a crocodile.
Fortunately, the crocodile wasn't too big; it was probably a baby crocodile that had just been born. Otherwise, she might have lost her leg by now.
Nevertheless, the crocodile's powerful bite was too much for her to bear; her lips turned white instantly, and large drops of sweat streamed down her smooth neck.
