Ye Lu shuddered all over, her face deathly pale, her hands and feet trembling.
Wolves.
That sound was the howl of a wild wolf; even though she had never heard it with her own ears, she instantly knew.
She thought they had always been lucky, because as they traveled these past days – whether due to luck or the destruction humans had wrought upon nature – there seemed to be fewer wild animals in these forests, and they hardly encountered any dangerous creatures.
They had only come across two pythons and a wild boar, all of which were killed by Third Young Master Jun's sharpshooting.
She thought their luck would continue.
But she never expected that Third Young Master Jun would suddenly fall ill and become unconscious, and at such a critical moment, they would encounter wolves.
She felt like she was going crazy, her heart seeming ready to burst.
Why, why must it be so hard, so difficult? She bowed her head, tears dripping down.
