Bringing Xiaojiu back up from the ravine, Yang Qi called for Hu Zi to join them and started heading back the way he came.
Just as he crossed a ridge, he saw an agile figure dashing out from the dense woods nearby.
It was Leopard, who was responsible for guarding the perimeter.
Upon seeing Yang Qi, Leopard immediately sped up and rushed over, screeching to a halt in front of him and letting out a series of urgent "WOOF WOOF" sounds.
'Master, there's an injured Two-legged Beast over there.'
'Someone's injured?'
'A hiker?'
A chill ran down Yang Qi's spine.
While Cangshan wasn't exceptionally treacherous, its deeper regions were rarely traversed and had complex terrain. Every year, a few unruly "hikers" who ventured too far in would end up in trouble.
"Lead the way."
Without hesitation, Yang Qi gave the order to Leopard, motioning for Hu Zi and Xiaojiu to follow.
The man, cat, and dog followed Leopard's lead, hurrying deeper into the mountain forest.
