The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 1460: Chapter 1460: Crossing Mountains (8)

Yang Ruxin set off before dawn without even waking her family, only informing Du Chengfeng, then departed overnight with Du Juan, Du Man, and Shadow Seven.

Of course, she did not forget to bring along Xiaohei’s family of three.

As for the worry that everyone would experience once they discovered Yang Ruxin was gone again at daylight, there’s no need to delve into that.

Let’s just say that Ruxin, following Shadow Seven, sprinted out of Lianhua Town.

As she left the town, she stalled. The main road was safe, but it was a lengthy journey. Even if she rode hard day and night, it would take seven to eight days to reach Jin City. But if she crossed over the mountains, at least one-third of the journey could be cut short.

”It’s not safe in the mountains,” Shadow Seven, Yang Xiong, frowned.

”There’s nothing unsafe,” Ruxin glanced around, ”I’ve looked at the map. Crossing from here will take us directly to the official road that leads to the frontier. There’re households in these mountains, so there’s a mountain path. It’s tougher to travel, but it saves time. Roughly two days will get us across...”

None of the others objected, as their mounts were all wild horses from the mountains, so taking the mountain path was no issue.

From dusk until dawn, they walked, and from dawn till dusk, they went on without incident.

”Let’s rest a bit,” Ruxin said, looking around. ”We need to spend the night here.” The evening sky was somewhat overcast, and visibility wasn’t great, so better to wait for daylight before continuing.

Yang Xiong hurriedly gathered firewood to start a campfire, while Du Juan and Du Man pulled out some food.

Roasting a couple of buns and eating them with the jerky they brought filled their stomachs, and Ruxin also gave each person a pear for dessert.

As they were nibbling away, a rustling noise suddenly came from afar, then a long howl of a wolf.

”Be cautious, there might be wild beasts out there,” Shadow Seven was the first to stand up.

Ruxin also stood up; it wasn’t Xiaobai coming, so she couldn’t afford to be careless.

Du Juan and Du Man readily brandished their weapons.

”If only it were Xiaobai,” Du Man muttered.

”This isn’t Xiaobai’s territory,” Du Juan explained.

Du Man pursed her lips; of course, she knew that. Considering the vastness of these mountains, Xiaobai couldn’t possibly dominate the entire range. It seemed like a fierce fight was inevitable tonight since the quantity of these wolves was not small—roughly forty to fifty.

But just as those green glowing eyes continued to draw near, mouths agape and ready to strike, a distant howl sounded again, followed by another wolf cry.

Ruxin chuckled: ”Guess you can’t just mention someone; as soon as you talked about Xiaobai, here he comes...” It wasn’t just Xiaobai; his mother was here too, for the initial cry was indeed that of a tiger.

It had been a long time since they had seen Dabai, the mother tiger.

Indeed, the Black Wolf pack showed a brief commotion, but they soon calmed and started to launch an attack on Ruxin and the group, seemingly intent on claiming their prey before the outsiders arrived and lost their chance.

Obviously, these wolves viewed Xiaobai and his group as competitors vying for their meal.

Yang Xiong and the others had already engaged with the wolf pack.

Ruxin took out her whip, while Xiaolun and Xiaoyin both leaped onto her shoulders. With so many wolves, their venom was limited; once used up, it took time to regenerate, so for now, they opted to watch and wait.
