Lin Xiyao felt endless self-blame and guilt.
She now realized that what Han Mingyue had said to her earlier wasn't harsh at all.
If she hadn't insisted on bringing the wild boar along, the four of them wouldn't have attracted a pack of wolves.
"I'm sorry," Lin Xiyao said, feeling ashamed.
If Han Mingyue and the others were to get into trouble because of this, Lin Xiyao felt that even dying ten thousand times wouldn't be enough to atone for her sins.
Han Mingyue came looking for him out of kindness, but she ended up in this mess because of her.
Han Mingyue didn't turn around, but stared at the wolf pack warily.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. If the wolves pounce on us, you two, master and servant, take the opportunity to climb up that tree over there. Yuanbao and I will handle the rest!"
Han Mingyue knew what Lin Xiyao was talking about, but she didn't have time to worry about that right now.
If anyone is to say who is wrong, Han Mingyue feels that she is also at fault.
Even though he knew the smell of blood would attract wild beasts, he still agreed as if possessed.
Lin Xiyao stubbornly shook her head and cried, "No, how could I be a coward who clings to life? Today, if we live, we live together; if we die, we die together!"
Lin Xiyao would never climb a tree to survive, letting her savior fall into the wolf's den just to buy her time.
"Miss Lin, you're still being willful even now. If you two don't climb the tree, you'll only be a burden to me and Yuanbao," Han Mingyue shouted angrily.
Just a moment ago I thought Lin Xiyao could admit her mistakes and correct them, but now she's making the same mistake again.
Lin Xiyao bit her lip and whispered, "I know, I'll definitely climb the tree later."
Han Mingyue nodded and gestured for Yuanbao to look at the wild boar not far from them.
"Yuanbao, throw the wild boar out in a bit. Maybe that will buy you some time. Once Miss Lin and the other girl are safely up the tree, we'll take the opportunity to climb up too," Han Mingyue instructed Yuanbao.
Although he and Yuanbao knew martial arts, they did not bring any weapons today.
With just the wooden stick in his hand, he certainly couldn't fight off the pack of wolves.
The only option is to climb a tree to temporarily avoid the wolf's attack. At worst, one can stay in the tree overnight, and the wolf pack will surely disperse at dawn.
Just as Yuanbao was about to nod, he saw the alpha wolf crouch down on its hind legs, poised to attack.
Han Mingyue also saw this situation, exchanged a glance with Yuanbao, and Yuanbao quickly ran forward.
"Miss Lin, quick! Climb the tree!" Han Mingyue shouted hurriedly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiyao grabbed Cuizhu and jumped towards the nearest tree without hesitation.
She had just observed that this tree was the easiest to climb. Although Cuizhu had injured her hand, it had many branches, and with her help, they would definitely be able to get up.
Fortunately, the tree was only a few steps away; otherwise, Lin Xiyao would definitely not have been able to jump over it with just one foot.
"Cuizhu, quick, step on my back, I'll lift you up!" Lin Xiyao shouted to Cuizhu, kneeling on one foot and squatting on the other.
Cuizhu hesitated. She was a slave, and Lin Xiyao was her master. How could she escape before her master?
“Miss, step on me to get on,” Cuizhu said.
Lin Xiyao said angrily, "Your hand is injured, I'll go up first. You definitely can't climb up, so hurry up and step on me to get up, then pull me up! Don't waste time!"
Cuizhu gritted her teeth and finally stepped onto Lin Xiyao's back.
Miss is right, we can't waste time.
Feeling the weight on her back, Lin Xiyao held onto the tree with one hand and the bamboo with the other.
Because of a leg injury, it took him three attempts to finally stand up.
Cuizhu quickly seized the opportunity to grab the branch with one hand. Seeing Cuizhu gripping the branch, Lin Xiyao pulled away and quickly used both hands to support Cuizhu's feet, helping her up.
While the two were climbing the tree, Han Mingyue and Yuanbao were also on the verge of a fight.
The wild boar that Yuanbao had just thrown over was sniffed by the wolves, who then surrounded the two of them again.
Clearly, the wolves seemed more interested in living creatures than dead pigs.
This kind of pleasure is similar to that of humans hunting.
What they enjoy is not the taste of wild game, but the thrill of having their prey manipulated at will.
Han Mingyue kept an eye on the wolf pack while glancing towards Lin Xiyao.
Once the two have safely climbed the tree, he and Yuanbao will be able to escape and follow them up, thus avoiding danger.
Unfortunately, the alpha wolf seemed to have seen through their intentions.
It's obvious they don't want to give them that chance.
The bamboo had barely settled on the branch when the alpha wolf launched an attack on Lin Xiyao.
It's clear that it has found a weakness among Han Mingyue and her group.
It plans to use Lin Xiyao as a breakthrough point to defeat them in one fell swoop.
Han Mingyue watched the alpha wolf pounce on Lin Xiyao with a cold smile.
"If you want to force your way out of my hands, you'll have to see if I agree!"
As she spoke, Han Mingyue quickly moved to Lin Xiyao's side, and the wooden stick in her hand was struck by the alpha wolf that launched the attack.
This strike, infused with Han Mingyue's internal energy, was a heavy blow.
Lin Xiyao looked at the figure blocking her way and felt a tremor in her heart.
The alpha wolf, in pain, managed to retreat several steps.
However, it was Han Mingyue's heavy blow that angered the wolf pack.
Seven or eight wolves, baring their teeth, were staring at Yuanbao and Han Mingyue, looking like they were about to attack together.
Yuanbao also rushed over, standing back to back with Han Mingyue, confronting the wolf pack.
Of course, he also pulled the trembling Big Yellow over.
"Miss Lin, hurry up, we're running out of time!" Han Mingyue shouted urgently.
Just as Lin Xiyao was about to go up, she noticed the trembling Big Yellow at her feet and quickly picked it up.
"Green Bamboo, I'll lift Big Yellow up here, you pull it up too!" Lin Xiyao shouted to Green Bamboo on the tree.
They can climb trees, but Big Yellow can't.
If you are alone, you will surely be torn apart by the wolf pack.
Da Huang certainly deserves a lot of credit for Han Mingyue being able to find them today.
How could we abandon our benefactor?
Lin Xiyao then stood up, carrying Dahuang on her shoulder.
However, the green bamboo could only reach the big yellow ear.
After thinking for a moment, Cuizhu grabbed Dahuang's ear without hesitation and pulled it upwards with all her might.
It's better to be deaf than to lose your life.
The ears are the most vulnerable and sensitive part of a dog's body.
The force of the bamboo made Da Huang groan in pain.
However, Cuizhu managed to pull Dahuang up with her.
It was Big Yellow's barking that completely enraged the wolf pack.
The wolves pounced on the three of them, and Yuanbao picked up a stick from the ground and held it in his hand.
"Miss Lin, hurry up!" Han Mingyue called out.
However, it was clearly too late.
Lin Xiyao also decided not to go up, and followed the example of the two, taking a wooden stick as a sword.
Judging from this, they seem determined to stand together with Han Mingyue and the others.
Han Mingyue looked at the current situation and could only let Lin Xiyao have her way.
The wolves pounced on the three men, who quickly raised their hands to defend themselves with wooden sticks.
