Chapter 42 - 44: Xiao Yu
yup, same as with Chapter 39
***
A vast, dense forest stretched endlessly, its lush trees covering nearly half of the sky. Due to its proximity to the Chu Yun Empire, this forest was rich in medicinal herbs.
However, alongside the abundant resources, high-ranking Magic Beasts were also numerous in this region.
After completing the recruitment for Jia Ma Empire, Ruo Lin began her journey back to Jia Nan Academy.
Due to her physical condition, however, she had temporarily distanced herself from the academy's main group and was traveling alone with Xiao Yu, whom she had recruited from Wu Tan City.
While passing through this area, exhaustion and thirst overtook them, prompting them to stop and rest for a while.
Unexpectedly, they had inadvertently trespassed into the territory of the Desert Flame Wolves.
Desert Flame Wolves had an extremely strong territorial instinct and lived in packs. Any human or beast that entered their domain would be driven away—or, if deemed weak enough, mercilessly hunted.
To the wolves, Ruo Lin and Xiao Yu clearly fell into the latter category.
During their resistance, Ruo Lin accidentally killed one of the Desert Flame Wolves.
