Before they could continue their escape, Long Xiliang heard the sound of a canister dropping to the ground, and his brow furrowed… Peering out from Lu Xiaoyou's pocket, the white hamster raised an alarm:
"Master, there's corrosive poison gas! Hurry!"
No wonder the mercenaries who had approached them were not only fully armed but also equipped with gas masks.
"Let's go!" Lu Xiaoyou urged Long Xiliang.
But where could they run to now? Staying inside the castle was out of the question since one area was being gassed, and the rest would soon be engulfed.
Outside the window, the sound of animals neighing rang out, and something occurred to Lu Xiaoyou. She placed her index finger and thumb on her lips and blew a sharp, urgent whistle.
"Clip-clop, clip-clop!" The sound of hoofbeats was approaching them rapidly.
"Let's go!" Lu Xiaoyou cried out, and without a second thought, Long Xiliang and Lu Xiaoyou broke through the window one after the other.
