Yi Xin suddenly felt a little guilty when he suddenly looked at her like this. After hesitating for a moment, she softly asked with a trace of unconfidence, "Brother Lu, this … this puppy, could it be a powerful demonic beast that can harm our lives at any time?"
Lu Chen glanced in that direction and said indifferently, "Such a small thing, of course it can't kill us."
Yi Xin let out a sigh of relief, as if her suspended heart had finally been put down. "Then let's save it, okay?"
Lu Chen snorted and said, "You were chased half to death by a pack of black jackals yesterday, how can you be so merciful today?"
"Ah?" Yi Xin was startled and said, "Is this puppy also a black jackal? When I saw it just now, I thought it wasn't … "
"It really isn't a purebred black jackal demonic beast." Lu Chen interrupted Yi Xin's words and said, "This is a hybrid between a mountain snow wolf and a black jackal. It is rare for it to survive and grow up. Even if you save it, it would be a waste."
Yi Xin was stunned and said, "Why?"
Lu Chen wanted to say something but stopped. For some reason, his expression suddenly became gloomy, as if he was a little unhappy. Even his voice had a rare trace of impatience as he said, "In short, it still has the blood of a black jackal. Do you want to save it?"
Yi Xin was shouted at by him and immediately shrank back. After a while, she timidly said, "I'll listen to you."
Lu Chen snorted and turned to leave. Yi Xin sighed softly and followed.
From time to time, the puppy's sorrowful cries could be heard from behind her. Yi Xin could not bear to see it, but reason told her that Lu Chen's method might be the right choice, so she resisted the urge to look back.
The two of them walked all the way out of the river valley, and the puppy finally disappeared from their line of sight.
At the same time, the river made a big turn here and continued flowing in another direction. Lu Chen stopped in his tracks. He raised his head and looked around. He then looked up at the sky as if he was trying to figure out the direction and the terrain. Yi Xin hesitated as she waited, but she couldn't help but take advantage of this opportunity to sneak a few steps towards the river valley. She stuck her head out and looked at the place where Lu Chen had been.
However, with this glance, Yi Xin suddenly let out a soft cry. Then, she used her uninjured hand to cover her mouth, her eyes filled with shock.
Lu Chen immediately noticed Yi Xin's unusual behavior and turned around to look at her. Then, he frowned.
In the distance, near the broken leg of the puppy, a large yellow leopard suddenly appeared. It bared its sharp fangs and slowly approached the puppy. At the same time, its eyes were filled with greed.
The puppy let out a mournful cry, as if sensing the impending disaster, desperately struggling to shrink back. However, one of its broken legs was dragging on the ground, and no matter how hard it tried to crawl away, it was only a feeble struggle before death.
The yellow leopard clearly saw through the puppy's weakness. But as a monster, it still had some vigilance. It first looked around to see if there were any enemies nearby. At the same time, it was also very afraid of the Bloodthirsty Demon Flowers, so it kept a long distance.
The puppy was about thirty feet away from the Bloodthirsty Demon Flowers. The yellow leopard looked at the flowers and seemed to determine that this distance was enough to not disturb the flowers. With a low growl, its body suddenly soared into the air and pounced towards the puppy.
The puppy let out a mournful cry. In the distance, Yi Xin's body trembled. She couldn't help but close her eyes, not daring to look again.
But at this moment, a black shadow suddenly flew out from nowhere, streaked across the air and directly smashed into the area between the puppy and the Bloodthirsty Demon Flowers.
Lu Chen looked over and his pupils suddenly constricted. He saw that the thing that was suddenly thrown out was a bloody piece of meat.
[Hu …]
There seemed to be a light breeze, gently blowing past. In the vast empty space in the river valley, everything suddenly quietened down.
Almost in that instant, the yellow leopard who was already in the air suddenly let out an angry roar. But the ground in front of him suddenly shook violently. Near that piece of meat, a "boom" sound was heard. Several thick vines full of thorns broke out from the ground and rushed out, wrapping around that piece of meat.
But that piece of meat was too small and it did not move at all. The vines wiggled a few times and instantly seemed to sense something and turned in a different direction. This time, it was towards the yellow leopard who had leapt into the air.
…
The ferocity in the yellow leopard's eyes was no longer there. Right now it was filled with fear. How could it still care about that puppy. With a mournful cry, it landed on the ground and was about to run away with its tail between its legs.
However, those extremely terrifying vines arrived with a loud bang. Their speed was fast, almost like lightning. Wherever they passed, sand and stones flew. Only a rumbling sound mixed with sharp howls could be heard. A moment later, amidst the yellow leopard's angry roar, it was actually caught by those vines just as it was about to run out of the boundary and then slowly dragged back.
The yellow leopard screamed and screamed, struggling with all its might. However, the vines wrapped around it and not long after, countless of thorns pierced into the yellow leopard's flesh!
Gradually, its voice became lower and lower. Its struggling became smaller and smaller until it finally reached a state of limp helplessness.
At this time, a black rope suddenly flew out. There was a sharp claw attached to the rope and it accurately landed on the yellow leopard's hind leg. Then, it suddenly grabbed tightly and the sharp blade instantly cut open the yellow leopard's flesh. The yellow leopard let out a mournful cry as one of its hind legs was separated from its body.
Strangely, the Bloodthirsty Demon Flowers did not have any reaction to this. They continued to drag the yellow leopard, who was on its last breath, and continued to walk backwards. Not long after, they dragged it to the incomparably gorgeous flower field. After wriggling for a while, it once again became quiet.
The rope that was holding the leopard's leg fell to the ground and also slowly retracted. At the same time, a figure walked out and unhappily spat. He grabbed the leopard's leg with one hand and the puppy with the broken leg with the other, then turned around and left.
Under the sunlight, this person looked like an evil spirit that had just walked out of the Yellow Springs. His body was bent and his skin was dark and cracked. He was almost like a skeleton with only skin and bones. And on that terrifying face, two broken fangs protruded from the side of his mouth, making him look more like a beast than a human.
As he left, this strange person seemed to think of something. He suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the valley's exit. However, he saw that it was empty and there was no sign of anyone.
He muttered something, as if he was cursing something viciously. Then, he grabbed the bloody leg and quickly disappeared into the valley. No one knew where he went.
After a long time, Lu Chen and Yi Xin's figures slowly appeared behind the stone wall of the valley's exit. Lu Chen's hand was tightly covering Yi Xin's mouth. Yi Xin's eyes were filled with shock, as if she could not understand what had just happened.
On the other hand, Lu Chen's expression was rather cold. He looked coldly at the river valley as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he suddenly said in a low voice, "Barbarians?"
