3366 Ambush
“Roar!”
“Aah!”
Hao’er screamed in fear as he saw the enormous beast lunge at him, its sharp and deadly fangs flashing before his eyes. A flash of light burst from Hao’er’s body just as the beast was about to bite, followed by a wolf’s howl. The next instant, a snow-white silver wolf suddenly appeared and tore a chunk of flesh from the attacking beast.
“Roar!”
“Awooo!”
While Feng Jiu and the others rushed to Qin Xin’s side to protect Hao’er, they kept their gaze fixed on the snow-white silver wolf that appeared with a slight glint in their eyes.
After a moment of calm, Feng Jiu’s palm began to pulse with spirit energy breath and as the flames ignited, a vortex suddenly rose on the calm lake surface. The vortex was so large that it stirred up the surrounding lake water. Just as the boat was about to fall into the vortex, Feng Jiu and a few others stepped on the breeze, grabbed the old man rowing the boat, and took him to shore.
As they flew out of the vortex, the boat on the lake was swallowed up and disappeared into the whirling water vortex…
Feng Jiu’s eyes flickered as she watched the dark figures around them disappear, her lips pursed in thought…
Guan Xilin frowned as he watched the scene. “They were here just a moment ago, and now they have vanished.” He looked at Feng Jiu and asked, “What do you think?”
Who could be attacking them right now? Furthermore, using the lake’s water to activate a teleportation array and retreating quickly after a failed ambush, such well-rehearsed methods, and such deliberate targeting of Hao’er, could these individuals have been sent by the Skylink Monarch?
Now that the two sides are getting ready to fight at the summit of the mountain, were they trying to capture Hao’er to threaten them?
Qin Xin took Hao’er back to the shore. Feng Jiu and the others also landed and came to their side. “Are you alright?”
“We’re fine,” Qin Xin said as she looked at Hao’er.
“Mother, those people wanted to capture me,” Hao’er said, still shivering uncontrollably. The terrifying memory of that beast lunging at him with its massive mouth full of sharp teeth and the thought of being devoured at any second had given him a terrible fright.
Feng Jiu patted his head and looked at the silver wolf racing across the lake without saying a word. As the silver wolf looked at her and Hao’er, there was obvious joy and excitement in its eyes.
“Go back to the space first,” Feng Jiu commanded the wolf, so as not to cause too much disruption.
“There’s a teleportation array set up here, and it’s quite powerful,” she said as she moved forward, releasing her divine sense to scan the lake. “I believe it could be the Skylink Monarch.”
No one else would be after Hao’er except the Skylink Monarch. But it was too despicable for a monarch to use such devious methods to kidnap Hao’er after agreeing to a battle at the mountain summit.
“It seems like he’s not confident in his ability to defeat Mo Ze. Otherwise, why would he bother trying to kidnap Hao’er?” Guan Xilin speculated, turning to Feng Jiu. “We need to keep a close watch on Hao’er during this time to avoid any accidents.”
If Hao’er fell into the hands of the Skylink Monarch, that would certainly cause trouble.
“Mm, I know,” Feng Jiu nodded, her gaze fixed on Hao’er, who was being held by Qin Xin. Seeing that his complexion was not good, she told everyone, “Let’s go back!”
