49 Valley shocking change, both injured

  The faint sound of the flute drifted between the snowy peaks, and Gu Yunxi and others returned from the original road, found the horses left on the mountain waist, and rode down. They no longer had to rush like they did on their way here. From Bixia Peak to Snow Wolf Valley, it took three days, and they walked slowly for more than three days.

  These three days were the best sleep for Gu Yunxi and his party, because whether it was day or night, they had the most ferocious snow wolf in Xuefeng guarding them, no longer having to be on high alert. By the time they were about to arrive at Snow Wolf Valley, everyone's spirits had recovered extremely well.

  However, the weather was extremely cold, and Gu Yunxi's injury had a tendency to relapse. At this moment, she was holding something white and fluffy in her arms as she walked at the back, and her whole body was slightly chilled.

  "Wah wah——"

  Xiaoxue Lang was discovered by Gu Yunxi on the way back, and the young girl lost her closest parents. In the new team, she has not been fully accepted yet, often being left behind in the entire large team. She looked at it with unbearable eyes, and saw that there were still some unhealed wounds on its body, so she simply picked it up on horseback.

  However, at this moment she only felt that her body was uncomfortable, and after holding on for a long time, it was inevitable that she would feel tired. She lightly coughed twice, "Ye Qi——"?

  Ye Qi had already had enough of these robust and healthy-looking guards with their sharp teeth and bloody mouths over the past few days. At this moment, when he heard Gu Yunxi call out to him, he immediately knew what she meant. He coughed lightly twice, "Lin Sheng, your injuries haven't healed yet, come, hand over your sword and package to me——"

  Gu Yunxi thought for a moment, "Martial Arts - ?"

  Wu Yun was one of the seven brothers, and among them, he was the only one who remained unscathed, with fewer injuries on his body. However, just as Gu Yunxi rode her horse in front of him, he suddenly let out a loud cough, "Sir, sir, I-I'm afraid of Snow Wolf's fur..."

  Gu Yunxi was taken aback, looking around and finally letting his gaze fall on Wu You with a hint of hesitation. In the past few days, Wu You had been like an invisible person in the entire team, rarely speaking. Gu Yunxi looked at him and felt that this person was as difficult to get close to as his master, let alone ask for help...

  "Wah wah——"

  Gu Yunxi's thoughts had not yet settled, the little snow wolf in her arms was already struggling. She furrowed her brow for a moment, and the little wolf suddenly became quiet again. Gu Yunxi lowered her head to look at its dark green eyes, which were staring straight at Wu You.

  Gu Yunxiu raised an eyebrow, and indeed, even the little wolf in her arms didn't like him!

  At this time, Gu Yunxue happened to be walking next to Wu You, and because of the strange thoughts in her mind, she just wanted to walk faster and get away from him. However, at the moment when Wu You brushed past her shoulder, the little wolf that had been quietly staying in Gu Yunxue's arms suddenly jumped up and pounced straight at Wu You, who was shrouded in a cold aura.

  "Be careful!"

  Gu Yunxi's face changed, but the little wolf didn't bite Wu You's neck or use its sharp claws to pierce his chest. Instead, it quietly fell in front of Wu You and played with his hem for a bit before standing on its hind legs and leaning against his black robe.

  It's not just Gu Yunxi, even Ye Qi and others are stunned. The small white wolf is standing proudly in front of Wu You, matching the cold glow of his mask and the dark long robe, it really has a few points of coordination.

  There was also a flash of surprise in Wu You's eyes, seeing Gu Yunxi straighten up and ride forward. His gaze was somewhat helpless, he lowered his head to look at the fluffy little thing, furrowed his brow, and subconsciously raised his hand but slowly put it down again.

  When Gu Yunxi's flute sound rose again, they had already arrived at Snow Wolf Valley. This time, they still took the mountain ridge they came from, just to get closer and return faster. Gu Yunxi looked around at the unusually quiet mountain ridge, then looked up at the somewhat gloomy sky, turned back to Ye Qi and others, and said, "I'll send them down to the foot of the valley, the weather is changing, I'll be right back!"

  Gu Yunxi looked at the little wolf in Wu You's arms, but the little wolf let out a few low whimpers and clung tightly to Wu You's clothes, as if it didn't want to get off the horse. Gu Yunxi jumped down from the horse and forcibly took the little wolf away, walked into the middle of the wolf pack, made a gesture with his hand, and all the wolves surrounded Gu Yunxi and headed towards the mountain together.

  Ye Qi and others still stared with wide eyes, although they had seen such scenes many times before, but they couldn't stop being shocked for a long time. If you say that living with a wolf for a long time can understand some taming methods and do some manipulation, but Gu Yunxi is now obviously subjugating the entire wolf tribe under his control. Ye Qi couldn't help but think of his own battlefield in Beijiang at that time. If he had such a method to tame ferocious beasts in the deep mountains and forests, even thousands of troops would be no match for him!

  Carefree eyes fell on Gu Yunxi, who was also in a snowy white dress, and she was somewhat unrecognizable among the wolf pack. However, his gaze always landed on her with pinpoint accuracy. His deep eyes slowly narrowed, and his gaze gradually became profound and heavy.

  A cold wind suddenly rose, and he gazed at the gradually descending layered clouds with a furrowed brow. He looked at the wolf pack that had already descended into the valley and her, and unexpectedly felt a sense of unease in his heart. His eyes flickered several times, and at this moment, he suddenly whispered softly behind him, "It hasn't snowed for several days, and the snow isn't very thick now. After tonight, it will probably be extremely difficult to travel again."

  A movement in his heart, these days although there was no snowfall but it wasn't a clear sky either, let alone the snow on this mountain had already turned into ice particles, how could they melt so easily? He lowered his head and took a closer look, only to feel that the snow was layered, these days without snowfall, no new snow covered on top, where did the layers come from?

  His unease grew even more intense, and with a twitch of his nose, he felt that the smell rising from the valley had several unusual aspects to it, aside from the wolf pack's scent... there was also... sesame oil?

  As the thoughts were in a mess, it was at this time that the originally quiet valley suddenly burst out with several explosions. Wu You and others stood on the mountain ridge, only to feel that there was a flash of firelight under their eyes, and then the entire mountain valley's surroundings ignited flames. The flames burned along the edge of the valley, instantly surrounding the wolf pack and Gu Yunxi together!

  Young Master!

  No one had ever seen such a large flame, the valley was not very big, at this time Wu You felt that the mountain valley seemed to be a pot of oil that suddenly ignited with a loud noise, the rolling fire tongues borrowed the wind and rolled over, from the bottom of the valley to the top of the mountain ridge, the heat wave came, even Ye Qiqi and several others subconsciously retreated a few steps.

  "Follow me!"

  At night, the seventh one took the lead in making a sound. The worry-free eyes were fixed on the opposite mountain ridge, where a line of dark shadows was flashing. Looking at the valley again, the wolf pack and Gu Yunxi were shocked by the sudden change, and had already been forced towards the foot of the opposite mountain by the flames.

  "I'll go save her, you guys go there——"?

  At night, Qi Ziran followed the carefree gaze and instantly understood what they wanted to do. With a superior attitude, they could use any means to make Gu Yunxi and the wolf pack have nowhere to escape!

  "Yè qī míng bái le, gōng zǐ jiù bài tuō nǐ!"

  Translation: "At night, I understand, young master is entrusting you!"

  At night, Wu You naturally knew the carefree body, and at this moment, he didn't drag his feet or hesitate. As soon as his voice fell, he galloped towards the mountain ridge opposite him. Wu You's eyes were fixed on the fierce flames, and with a burst of movement, he actually jumped straight down from the tens of meters high mountain wall!

  Gu Yunxi was shocked!

  At this moment, she started to sweat again and seemed to have a fever. Standing in the midst of the wolf pack, she didn't notice the smell of sesame oil, let alone the anomaly on the snowy ground. The wolves were afraid of fire, and as the heat rushed towards them, they could only retreat continuously. When they retreated to the foot of a mountain, Gu Yunxi felt slightly safer and had time to think of a countermeasure, but just then, a loud rumbling sound came from above her head!

  She raised her head and looked up, her eyes suddenly changing. The thing that rolled down from the top of the mountain was a giant boulder, several times taller than a person. As she watched, flames scattered everywhere with no place to hide, and this deadly object fell from above. In an instant, Gu Yunxi's face turned pale. She backed away from the mountain wall while blowing her short flute. However, wolves are naturally afraid of fire, and even though they sensed the danger falling from the sky, they were unwilling to leave the foot of the mountain wall. Instantly, mournful howls echoed through the skies!

  Gu Yunxi watched the scene with a heavy heart, but with giant rocks in front and a huge fire behind, she was almost overwhelmed by grief as another wave of giant rocks fell from the sky. As the dark shadows covered her, her back was already scorched by the intense flames, her eyes closed suddenly, and a strong hand suddenly grasped her waist!

  "Do you want to die?"

  A low, urgent whisper reached Gu Yunxi's ears, and she turned her head to meet his deep, profound gaze. Before she could utter a word of caution, her entire body was enveloped by him.

  Gu Yunxi only felt a strong force suddenly pressing her down onto the snowy ground, her ankle hurting and before she could react, everything in front of her went black. As she slightly recovered, she felt a warm sticky sensation in her hand, the person covering her body let out a muffled groan, and urgently whispered a sentence in her ear, "We have to leave here!"

  Gu Yunxi was swept up by Wu You, her gaze scanning over his shoulder, a bright red bloodstain catching her attention, making her inhale sharply. That massive boulder should have crushed her, although it hadn't actually landed on the two of them, he had still been injured so severely. "You're hurt!"

  Worry-free getting up, looking at her unstable feet, his eyes sank, he took a deep breath and hugged her horizontally, "I'm clearer about this than you!"

  Gu Yunxi only felt that her height was getting higher and higher, the flames that were spitting out from his mouth were whizzing past her ears, the arms that were wrapped around her shoulders pressed her tightly into his embrace, the collar of his shirt had long been soaked through. At this moment, Gu Yunxi only felt that the warmth on her cheeks was getting more and more intense, even merging with the moisture at the corners of her eyes.

  When she jumped onto that low mountain ridge, her entire breathing was already very unstable. Gu Yunxi heard it in her ear and turned back to see the shadow flickering in the big fire. The falling of the giant stone and the shrill howling were like a sword piercing through her heart, completely extinguishing the only hope she had left.

  As she gazed around at the increasing number of people, Gu Yunxi didn't have time to think about their intentions. The flames danced and the wind howled, accompanied by that shocking sound, making it impossible for her to hear what those people on the mountain ridge were saying. All she knew was that someone had burned and killed all of her Snow Wolf pack, someone wanted to kill her, and someone had even injured him, a martial arts master!

  She struggled to get down, her voice hoarse, "Put me down, leave here, quickly!"
