Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Camp Crisis

After being fed a few Elixir Pills, An Minxia finally woke up, the formerly peacock-like An Minxia was now completely disheveled, with mud in her hair, on her clothes, and even in her mouth.

Just as An Minxia caught her breath.

She heard the detestable little beast on Ye Lingyue’s shoulder, with its chubby paws holding its round belly, laughing itself into a back-and-forth bend.

Little Zhiyo was extremely vindictive and remembered clearly the insult An Minxia threw at it yesterday.

Today, it laughed back in kind.

"You little beast!" An Minxia was already furious, and seeing Little Zhiyo’s mocking laughter, she became even more enraged. With Prince Feng not around, she didn’t believe anyone could protect this little beast.

Stubborn and foolish!

Ye Lingyue snorted coldly, flicked her sleeve, and a Dragon Saliva Needle stealthily shot towards An Minxia’s knee.

An Minxia, already unsettled from crawling out of the swamp, felt a numb in her knee from the needle and almost knelt down.

Little Zhiyo was quick and alert; it leapt up and kicked right into An Minxia’s face, sending her tumbling back into the swamp.

From the eight Innate Experts, two dashed out to catch Little Zhiyo.

But Little Zhiyo was no easy target, agilely dodging left and right, they couldn’t even touch a single hair on it.

With some effort, An Minxia was pulled up again.

"Ye Lingyue, you wretch, did you do something to me, county master!" An Minxia, stinking from the swamp’s smell and seeing Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er standing by unharmed, regained some clarity and realized there was something unusual about the poison bees.

And that little beast, so clever, clearly trained by Ye Lingyue beforehand to do exactly that.

"County Lord An, listen to what you are saying. I kindly saved you, yet you accuse me of harming you. Look, are there any poison bees now?" Ye Lingyue said innocently.

An Minxia scanned her surroundings and sure enough, she saw no more poison bees.

It turned out that the scent of the repellent on her body was masked by the stench of the swamp, naturally, the poison bees wouldn’t follow her anymore.

An Minxia knew something was off, but couldn’t pinpoint any flaw in a short time.

Beside her, Lan Cai’er silently gave a thumbs up.

Ling Yue, this girl, was really too cunning, using just a few drops of Beast Repelling Water to smoothly take over the shares of the Drunk Immortal Inn.

"Ling Yue, Lady Lan, are you alright?" having not seen the two women return all night, Feng Xun rushed over as dawn broke. "Oh, isn’t this County Lord An? What happened to your face?"

Seeing Feng Xun approaching, An Minxia broke into tears, turned, and ran, leaving eight guards staring at each other in confusion.

With a "plop," Little Zhiyo, standing on Ye Lingyue’s shoulder, couldn’t help but burst into laughter upon seeing An Minxia’s dramatic despair, its legs twitching as it fell ungracefully to the ground, landing upside down.

Ye Lingyue found it both funny and annoying to see this, while Feng Xun standing aside stared at her, his eyes filled with helplessness.

The next night, Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er were preparing to leave camp as planned.

"The swamp will be foggy tonight, perhaps we should wait until the fog dissipates before setting out?" Feng Xun looked worriedly towards the deep parts of the swamp.

At that moment, there was no fog in the swamp, and it was unclear why Feng Xun suddenly said that.

"No worries, I can use my spiritual power to navigate. If there really is fog, we will definitely come back." Ye Lingyue glanced at Prince Feng and, seeing his unwell appearance, thought he might be catching a cold, so she deliberately added some firewood before leaving the camp.

Not long after Ye Lingyue and the others left, a thin fog indeed formed over the swamp, the moist air dampening the firewood, causing the fire to gradually extinguish.

The campsite was pitch-black, one couldn’t see their own hands before their eyes.

Suddenly, Dahuang barked towards a certain direction.

It turned out that the sudden dense fog had dampened the Beast Repelling Powder Ye Lingyue had previously sprinkled around the campsite, causing the scent of the powder to gradually fade.

Around them, a series of footsteps was heard, as if something was approaching.

Dahuang’s expression grew stern, it swiftly leaped next to Feng Xun, standing guard.

Amidst the fog, several pairs of eerie green eyes appeared; a few starving swamp wolves that were drooling at the scent of human flesh surrounded them.

Swamp wolves, living in Yunmeng Swamp, are second-stage Spiritual Beasts, the size of wild dogs yet with incredibly tough fur and sharp claws.

Due to the fog, it was hard for the beasts in the swamp to find food, and these wolves happened to be passing by nearby.

They had the lowest degree of Spiritual Sense; their gloomy green pupils reflected the figures of Dahuang and Feng Xun.

At first sight of the imposing Dahuang, the four malicious wolves felt a trace of fear.

They dared not approach rashly.

"Dahuang... If you cannot hold them off, go find Ling Yue," Feng Xun softly called out to Dahuang.

Turning his head, Dahuang looked at Feng Xun and saw a hint of concern in his eyes.

Dahuang seemed to be touched; other than his master, humans usually looked down on their kind from a lofty position, but this human was different, his eyes showed genuine care.

Dahuang turned back, called out softly and wagged its tail.

It did not retreat; before leaving, both its master and Little Zhiyo had instructed it to take good care of this man behind them, it would not run away.

Hearing Dahuang’s bark and the wagging tail, all four wolves were jolted.

A mutt?

Realizing that Dahuang was not a wolf, the eyes of the four starving wolves filled with scorn.

There was a world of difference between wolves and dogs.

Roar—

One of the larger wolves issued a charge command, and a vicious wolf at its side was the first to rush forward.

Dahuang’s hind limbs suddenly exerted force, biting down on the jugular of the first wolf with the speed of lightning.

Its forelimbs tore fiercely, shredding the tough fur and skin that even an iron sword would struggle to penetrate.

With a swing of its lower jaw, Dahuang flung the swamp wolf aside cleanly.

Its mouth and limbs were dripping with blood.

The three vicious wolves shivered; the mutt before them was too ferocious.

These lower beasts didn’t know that Dahuang had honed formidable combat skills while living as a wild dog, and with the influence of Hong Meng Heaven’s Primordial Power, its body had been transformed to be even more powerful than those of the Wolf Clan.

The throats of the three vicious wolves emitted a grumbling sound; they understood that they couldn’t beat Dahuang in a one-on-one fight.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh

The three starving wolves charged forward

They approached from all directions, encircling the campsite.

The situation suddenly became tense.
