Mo Qianchang instinctively stood on the large rock beside her, rested one hand on her forehead and looked into the distance. Her brows immediately furrowed, and even her usually cold voice carried a hint of urgency.
"The wolves have already broken down the gate! Everyone, quickly leave all your heavy items behind and run down this road!"
At her command, no one dared to dawdle. They threw away what needed to be thrown away, took the children's hands, and pulled their elderly partners along. It was as if they were riding on wheels of fire, kicking up clouds of dust.
It was at this moment that Mo Qianshang finally realized that the people in the village still had great potential.
Considering that it must be difficult for Qin Baiyi to take care of four children alone, Mo Qianshang quickly jumped off the rock, hugged the third and fourth children in her arms, and turned her head to give Qin Baiyi a grateful smile.
"I'd like to trouble you, young master in white, to keep an eye on the eldest and second eldest brothers. Don't worry, they're not slow. I'm just a little worried they might get knocked down by other people."
"So you knew you had four children."
Another sentence, like an ice pick, came piercingly at him, but Mo Qianshang was somewhat immune to it, completely assuming that the other party was just concerned about the children and wasn't going against him.
Before long, the two were back at the front of the line.
They thought they could finally relax and have some time to scout ahead, but unexpectedly, several pairs of green eyes appeared at the back of the group, startling the last few people into panic and screaming.
"Help! Miss Mo, please save me! My child is only three years old, he can't be without a mother!"
"Ah! Help me! Help me! My mother is fifty-six years old. What will she do on the journey if I don't take care of her!"
*
The shouts grew louder and louder, forcing Mo Qianshang to hand the child back to Qin Baiyi.
Unexpectedly, this time she didn't need to say anything; Qin Baiyi waved to her and said, "Go quickly and come back quickly."
"But remember this: if anything happens to you, I will sell all of these children, leaving none of them behind."
"I won't give you that chance." Mo Qianshang waved confidently, and in a few breaths she had arrived at the back of the group, casually throwing a dart.
A piercing wolf howl instantly tore through the night sky, followed by a woman's terrified scream.
"Run!"
Mo Qianshang's voice, as clear and cool as the bright moonlight, instantly pulled the woman back from her panic. Rescued, the woman didn't even bother to straighten her clothes; she grabbed a small bundle beside her and ran for her life.
The wounded wolf stared menacingly at Mo Qianshang, its green eyes blazing with terrifying killing intent. But Mo Qianshang remained unmoved, a faint smile playing on her lips.
"Hey, you've come to the wrong place! If you go back now, I might give you a chance to live, otherwise..."
At this point, Mo Qianshang suddenly stopped, her gaze sweeping over the several wolves that were panting heavily but whose ferocity had not diminished in the slightest.
“Your wolf fur and pelts are quite nice; they’d be perfect for making warm clothes and shoes for my kids!”
Perhaps the sarcasm in Mo Qianshang's words was too obvious, because all the wolves bristled, tilted their necks slightly, and then, without any warning, they all pounced on Mo Qianshang.
The piercing screams that came out of its mouth were so loud they almost ruptured Mo Qianshang's eardrums.
Considering her excellent hearing, Mo Qianshang didn't stand on ceremony and directly exchanged a high-quality crossbow from the shop to attack them.
With a few whooshing sounds, the wolves that had charged ahead collapsed to the ground, twitched a few times, and fell silent.
Seeing this, the other three wolves howled even more shrilly and charged at them with greater ferocity. Mo Qianshang immediately threw the crossbow aside, drew her Swiss Army knife, and engaged the three wolves in close combat.
The original owner's body was not as strong as her previous life's. Although she dealt with the three wolves as quickly as possible, she was still scratched on the leg by the wolves, and thin blood was seeping out.
She quickly exchanged for disinfectant, hemostatic medicine, and gauze to treat the wound, and bandaged it as fast as possible, otherwise the smell of blood would drive the wolves even more mad.
At the same time, wolves can also find their tracks by the smell of blood.
Just as she realized this, Mo Qianshang froze, as if she understood why the wolf pack had suddenly attacked tonight...
Many people went up the mountain today, and quite a few were scratched by thorny vines and other sharp objects.
Most of them were minor injuries that wouldn't attract attention. Perhaps it was the bloodstains that triggered the wolves' wild instincts!
She was focused on saving Liu Shuda at the time and didn't think much about it...
Helplessly glancing back, Mo Qianshang saw that the green light was still relentlessly chasing after them. She picked up the crossbow bolt from the ground and ran after them.
Perhaps frightened by what happened to the people at the back, everyone ran forward like madmen, even Mo Qianshang's attack took a while to catch up with the front of the group.
But the surrounding situation reignited her emotions, which she had just begun to calm.
She could tell that the surrounding air was noticeably less humid than before, the ground was much drier and harder, and the plants were gradually decreasing. Not only that, but those plants were also unusually short.
It's obvious that there isn't enough moisture.
If she's right, there should be a severe water shortage ahead.
Thinking of this, she subconsciously slowed down, but unexpectedly Qin Baiyi grabbed her sleeve and ran forward, though his tone was not very pleasant.
"Your leg is injured, not your brain. What are you standing there for? Are you waiting to be torn apart by the wolves?"
"No, ahead..."
In the end, she couldn't bring herself to say the words "there's a problem" in front of the other villagers.
After all, they were being relentlessly pursued by hundreds or even thousands of wolves. If they were caught by those wolves, at least half of them would perish.
But if we move forward, perhaps there will be even more opportunities.
Having figured this out, Mo Qianshang didn't hesitate for a moment and led the group forward to continue charging ahead, while also observing the situation ahead.
It was fine if she didn't observe carefully, but once she did, Mo Qianshang felt a chill in her heart.
The ground beneath their feet was cracked, and they could hear the dull cracking sound of clods of earth breaking when they stepped on it. The surrounding vegetation was also shorter than before, and there were still some small groves of trees, but they were all in extremely dangerous locations, and ordinary people could not reach those green areas at all.
This is simply not giving anyone a way to survive!
But they have no way back now, they can only keep running forward, hoping that the wolf pack will find the area too dry and will not want to chase them anymore.
After silently praying in her heart, Mo Qianshang's ears twitched slightly, and she was surprised to find that the wolf pack seemed to have stopped on the outskirts of the arid region, and the sound of their long footsteps gradually disappeared.
Despite her joy, Mo Qianshang was deeply troubled.
What kind of harsh environment could make the wolf pack unwilling to even set foot in this place?
Soon, the people at the end of the line also realized that the wolves were no longer chasing them. Everyone collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, and those with water hurriedly opened their water bags to drink.
Those without water were about to get up and go find some, but Mo Qianchang wanted to tell them not to do something pointless, yet she also felt a little reluctant.
Hopefully they can find water...
