At this moment, the horse seemed to be startled by something and suddenly got out of control. It reared up and went a bit wild. An Yao was so frightened that she let out a shrill scream. Fortunately, Bing Tu held the reins tightly and quickly calmed the horse down.
However, the horse didn't dare to take another step forward!
The grass around them was shaking. It seemed that they had been surrounded.
Judging from the frightened look of the horse, Bing Tu knew it mustn't be something ordinary. His brows knitted tightly as he stared intently at the surrounding grass.
At this moment, Princess An Yao was sitting on the horseback, not daring to even breathe loudly. Her nerves were on edge and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
Suddenly, a little white rabbit darted out of the grass.
An Yao instantly let out a sigh of relief and said awkwardly, "So it's just a rabbit!"
But Bing Tu's face turned even more solemn. He knew it couldn't be just a simple rabbit.
Sure enough, after the rabbit hopped forward a couple of steps, a pack of wolves appeared behind it!
The wolves bent their hind legs slightly and stretched their front legs forward, assuming a pouncing posture. Their eyes glowed with a blood - red ferocity, and saliva was dripping from their mouths.
But there was a strange feeling. Instead of howling like normal wolves, they made a strange, low "kaka" sound from their throats.
"Wolves! They're wolves!" Looking at the pack of wolves, An Yao was almost on the verge of crying from fear.
Strangely enough, the wolves seemed to be coming straight for them and didn't even spare a glance at the rabbit beside them.
Just then, the white rabbit leaped into the air and pounced straight at An Yao!
Could this rabbit fly? No, was it offering itself? Or...
Although An Yao was a bit surprised, seeing how cute the rabbit was, she was just about to reach out to catch it. At that moment, the cute and docile - looking rabbit opened its huge mouth full of sharp teeth and was about to bite her.
She quickly retracted her hand. In this critical moment, Bing Tu shot a cold arrow that just hit the rabbit and sent it flying.
The rabbit fell to the ground motionless after being hit by the arrow.
Now they understood why the wolves didn't eat the rabbit. They were in cahoots!
At this moment, as if receiving a signal, the wolves swarmed forward and pounced on them!
Facing these wolves, Bing Tu showed no sign of fear. He drew his bow and shot three arrows at once. Each arrow hit a wolf!
After a series of deft shooting maneuvers by Bing Tu, more and more wolves fell to the ground.
But he didn't notice that the little white rabbit he had shot had miraculously come back to life and was charging at them again.
What was going on?
An Yao on the horseback noticed the resurrected rabbit. Her eyes widened in disbelief. When it pounced at them again, she shouted in alarm, "Watch out!"
Bing Tu's attention was all on the wolves and he didn't notice the resurrected rabbit at all. When the rabbit attacked them again, An Yao actually stepped in front of Bing Tu to protect him.
The rabbit opened its huge mouth and bit An Yao on the shoulder.
"Ah!" An Yao cried out in pain.
Hearing the cry, Bing Tu looked at An Yao. The rabbit was still biting her shoulder. He slapped the rabbit to the ground.
"Are you okay! Hold on!" Bing Tu asked with concern.
"Is the rabbit poisonous?" An Yao said weakly.
Only then did Bing Tu notice that the wolves he had shot had all stood up again.
"What are these things? Why can't I kill them with arrows?" Bing Tu frowned slightly, feeling that the situation was getting tricky.
Just then, the wolves launched another attack on them. Bing Tu felt around in his quiver but found that there were no more arrows.
Seeing the wolves pouncing towards them, when he was at a loss, he used his body to protect An Yao.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a cold arrow appeared and directly hit the wolf that was pouncing on them.
He turned around and saw that it was Si Hongxi who had shot the arrow.
At this time, seeing that they couldn't hurt the people, the wolves began to attack their horses.
The horses were instantly frightened. Bing Tu quickly grabbed the reins and, under Si Hongxi's cover, rode the horse out of the encirclement.
At this moment, Wan Ruo noticed something wrong when she saw the wolves with arrows in their bodies still chasing them unhindered.
She saw black smoke rising from the animals. There must be some evil spirits possessing them!
"There are evil spirits possessing them!" Wan Ruo whispered to Si Hongxi.
Si Hongxi also sensed something was amiss because the wolf he had just killed had come back to life.
"It's really not normal!"
"Let me try!" Wan Ruo sat on the horseback, gathered her energy, and began to draw an exorcism talisman in the air with her finger!
After she finished drawing a talisman, she pointed it out, and the exorcism talisman flew through the air and stuck on a wolf with an arrow in its body.
The moment the exorcism talisman touched the wolf's body, it instantly dissipated. With a thud, the wolf fell to the ground like a corpse.
"It works!" Wan Ruo was secretly relieved.
"You deal with the wolves that haven't been hit by arrows. I'll take care of the resurrected ones!" Wan Ruo said confidently to Si Hongxi.
At this time, Bing Tu had already taken An Yao and run behind them. Out of the need to protect An Yao, he could only watch from the side.
Wan Ruo and Si Hongxi began to divide the work.
Si Hongxi drew his bow and shot three or five arrows at a time. His hit rate was 100%.
Even Bing Tu, watching from the side, couldn't help but admire him. He was really a master of riding and shooting!
Wan Ruo drew an exorcism talisman in the air. With a wave of her palm, dozens of talismans were instantly replicated and shot out like flying arrows, hitting the resurrected wolves one by one.
Before the wolves could even fight back, a large number of them fell to the ground.
On the other side, in a secret room, a mysterious man seemed to be performing some kind of sacrificial ceremony.
"Damn it! A little girl dares to ruin my plans!"
The mysterious man was in front of an altar. There was an ancient jar on the altar. The water in it reflected the scene of the hunt in Mulan Paddock. He could see everything that was happening clearly!
His angry voice was low and menacing.
Then he started his spell - casting again, strengthening his magic power over the wolves. The wolves that had been knocked down by Wan Ruo woke up again!
"What kind of monsters are these?"
Si Hongxi watched as more and more wolves woke up. A chill ran down his spine.
Wan Ruo also didn't expect that the exorcism spells she had cast seemed to be ineffective. Why did they all come back to life?
At this time, Si Hongxi's quiver was also empty.
"Run!" Si Hongxi shouted when he saw that the situation was getting worse.
Seeing the situation was bad, Bing Tu quickly turned the horse around and galloped away.
Si Hongxi took Wan Ruo and followed closely behind. Just then, the wolves seemed to be empowered. They ran extremely fast and caught up with them from behind and the side. Some even ran in front of them and surrounded them again.
Seeing this, Bing Tu stopped.
"Don't worry about us. Go quickly and get reinforcements!" Si Hongxi shouted to Bing Tu.
Although Bing Tu hesitated a bit, since he had the injured An Yao with him and couldn't be of much help, he finally turned around and left.
Although Si Hongxi wasn't sure if the foreign prince would really go back for reinforcements, he had no choice but to believe him.
At this time, the two of them were surrounded by the wolves. The crazy rabbit launched the first attack and bit Si Hongxi on the wrist. Fortunately, he was wearing a wrist guard and wasn't injured.
Then the wolves pounced on them. Si Hongxi shook off the rabbit on his wrist with one hand and began to fight the wolves.
But it was difficult for one person to withstand the attacks of so many wolves. The exhausted Si Hongxi didn't know what to do when faced with these "monsters".
When he was distracted, a wolf pounced on him from behind. Seeing this, Wan Ruo quickly stepped forward to help. "Watch your back!"
But she was scratched on the back by another wolf. Wan Ruo cried out in pain, "Ah..."
"Miss Wan Ruo!" Si Hongxi kicked away the wolf beside him and was about to step forward to help.
Just then, the wolf was suddenly hit hard by an unknown gust of air and was sent flying.
