Chapter 39: Elder Brother, Thank You
Xu Xiang looked at the mutilated giant worm for a second, then moved her eyes to Xiao Shao, and asked, "What is that?"
Thinking that she may not remember because of her amnesia, he said, "It’s a giant worm from the desert. I never expected it to appear in this northern region. This kind of giant worm can only live in dry and hot regions. But because of the seven years of drought, I think their territory has extended to this northern region."
Xu Xiang took two breaths in the air and said, "Let’s get out of here quickly. The blood will attract more wild animals."
Xiao Shao nodded at her, looked at the others and said, "Let’s hurry up and get out of here before the other animals smell the blood."
Hearing her words, the terrified women stood up quickly with the support of the men. After Xiao Han finished washing up the blood and changing clothes, they left that place in a hurry. Not long after they left, Xu Xiang heard the howling of wolves behind them.
She looked back and saw a pack of wolves surrounding the corpse of the giant worm. Without changing her face, she said calmly, "Young Master Xiao, we must speed up before the wolves finish eating the corpse of the giant worm. Otherwise, it will be our turn."
Xiao Shao glanced at her and accelerated. Seeing the mule cart speeding up, Xiao Han also accelerated. As the speed of the two carts became faster and faster, the people who had walked before also began to run. Seeing that his young sister couldn’t keep up, Fan Zhengyin squatted down in front of her.
He looked at his younger sister and said, "Xue’er, come here. Elder Brother will carry you."
Fan Zhengxue wanted to refuse when she saw her elder brother’s thin body, but she was afraid that she would not be able to keep up. With tears in her eyes, she said, "Elder Brother, leave me. You go first, and I will catch up with you."
