Duofu ran out of the tent, the dog as if it had been freed from its shackles, its four paws desperately running out, not caring whether the Fourth Prince could keep up.
Despite being as fat as a gas cylinder, Duofu was incredibly fast; when he ran, even the Fourth Prince's shadow could barely keep up.
The Fourth Prince ignored the carefree Duofu ahead and rode Shadow in pursuit.
It seems that Duofu has indeed been bored out of his mind during this period.
This dog, who is usually so lazy and doesn't want to move, can run so fast sometimes.
It was like a gust of wind blowing by.
The Fourth Prince, with his bow and arrows behind him, saw a rabbit grazing not far away and nocked a shot.
With a whoosh.
The rabbit's hind leg was shot, but the Fourth Prince did not dismount to retrieve the prey, thinking he would collect it on the way back.
The Fourth Prince looked around at the increasing number of trees, realizing that they had unknowingly wandered into some grove.
The Fourth Prince wanted to call Duofu to turn back, but just then, a bear roar came from not far away in the forest.
Duofu was happily chasing butterflies in the forest. The air in nature was so refreshing; just smelling it made him feel cheerful, and all the gloom of the past few days disappeared.
Suddenly, a bear's roar reached his ears. Duofu's first reaction was not fear, but rather his eyes shining as he looked at the Fourth Prince.
It seems to mean, "Hurry up, the bear's paw is right there."
The Fourth Prince pretended not to see his precious son Duofu's bright eyes, and reasoned that the bear's roar must have come from some distance.
The Fourth Prince dismounted and picked up Duofu, who was still chasing butterflies ahead.
Just as they were about to go back and mount their horses, another tiger roar came from afar. As if startled, the dark figure galloped away before its master could even mount.
The Fourth Prince, holding Duofu in his arms, watched the horses gallop away, a hint of panic showing on his face.
Duofu is now scared too. Hearing the bear roar earlier was fine, but since it seemed far away, it definitely couldn't run over and bite them.
If the tiger roars, no matter how far away they are, its speed will allow it to rush over and bite them.
Hearing the tiger's roar and the bear's howl getting closer and closer, Duofu forced himself to calm down, his mind racing.
What should they do now?
Their horses had no means of transportation, so no matter how fast they ran, they couldn't outrun the tigers and bears behind them.
Duofu suddenly realized that he could run too, and his speed was no slower than a horse's.
Duofu quickly barked in the Fourth Prince's arms, urging him to put him down and run away.
The moment Duofu stepped onto the ground, his body suddenly swelled up several dozen times.
It suddenly became bigger than a Tibetan Mastiff, carrying a person with ease and without any pressure.
Duofu was still barking anxiously, urging the Fourth Prince to get in the carriage quickly, and what was he standing there dumbfounded for?
Are we waiting to be fed to a bear or a tiger?
The Fourth Prince was genuinely stunned for a moment. Although he had heard it before, it had never changed. Moreover, he was under immense pressure, and this was the first time in his life he had encountered something like this.
Urged on by Duofu, the Fourth Prince climbed onto Duofu's back and obediently grabbed Duofu's fur.
Duofu felt the person on his back settle in, let out a howl, and ran off.
Speed is like the wind.
The Fourth Prince could only feel the surrounding trees receding and the wind blowing against his face, which hurt quite a bit.
The Fourth Prince held Duofu beneath him, burying his head in Duofu's fur, his heart filled with pride.
He raised Duofu.
Duofu didn't know which way to run. He just ran towards whichever road looked easy to walk, until the roars of the tiger and the howls of the bear behind him gradually faded away.
Duofu dared to slow down a bit, but when he came to a complete stop and saw trees of no height around him, he felt doomed. It seemed like he was going further and further in and they were lost.
Duofu let out an uncertain howl at the Fourth Prince.
The Fourth Prince realized what was happening and looked around at the towering trees. The humidity in the air had clearly increased, and the trees completely blocked out the sun, with only a few gaps allowing some light to refract.
The air was filled with the fresh, natural scents of grass and trees, and the earthy smell of soil.
The Fourth Prince dismounted from Duofu's back, his feet sinking into a thick layer of fallen leaves and humus, which felt soft and made a rustling sound underfoot.
You can tell from this that it's inside a forest, and very few people or animals come here.
The Fourth Prince was also somewhat regretful. He should have brought more guards and servants instead of Duofu alone.
The Fourth Prince looked around with Duofu. The trees all around were tall and straight, their branches intertwined, dense and thick, completely blocking the road outside.
Although Duofu's body has grown bigger, his courage has not grown bigger.
With a snap.
There was a little baby on the ground.
Duofu hurriedly climbed onto the Fourth Prince.
Duofu felt that this place was a bit haunted, and he only felt safe when he was completely hugged and curled up in a ball.
The Fourth Prince quickly picked up the little bundle of flesh that was climbing all over him, took off his coat, and curled Duofu into a ball.
The Fourth Prince glanced at the sunlight streaming in; it should be getting dark outside soon.
I picked up Duofu and headed back the way we came. The tiger and bear over there should have finished their fight by now.
Going back now shouldn't be too dangerous; it's safer than staying here.
The silence was even more frightening.
Duofu also agreed, and he originally wanted to get down and drag the Fourth Prince along.
The Fourth Prince refused, telling him to rest for a while and then drag him along when he was tired.
Dofu didn't refuse. He felt his four paws were a little weak, probably because he had never run for so long or so fast before.
Duofu nestled tightly in the Fourth Prince's arms, only then feeling a sense of security in the tranquil forest.
This ancient forest is terrifying; apart from some bird calls, he really couldn't hear anything else.
It's all those damn tigers and bears' fault. If they hadn't been fighting there...
Why was he in such a hurry and didn't know where to run off to?
Now they've gotten lost while running around.
One day he'll have to eat both the bear's paw and the tiger's paw to avenge today's humiliation.
Whether or not God heard the curse in Duofu's heart.
Indeed, he got to eat both bear's paw and tiger's paw.
Duofu noticed that the Fourth Prince was walking slower and slower, and looked at the Fourth Prince who was already covered in sweat.
Without saying a word, Duofu jumped down and became Duofu.
She grabbed the Fourth Prince, hoisted him onto her back, and didn't even say anything when she was tired. She was so proud that she suffered for it.
He would never do such a foolish thing.
Duofu carried the Fourth Prince on his back, looking at the footprints he had left behind, and walked back step by step.
Walking step by step, he wasn't tired at all. As long as he wasn't running at top speed, Duofu felt he could walk for a whole day and night.
The Fourth Prince lay sprawled on Duofu's back, his face pale, struggling to control his breathing.
