"That move?" Li Xiaoya asked, startled and puzzled.
"Awoooo!" Just then, an earth-shaking wolf howl rang out ahead. The gray-glowing Three-Headed Giant Wolf released by Qu Long Scholar let out a thunderous roar. "Go!" Qu Long Scholar pointed forcefully at the swamp below, and the Three-Headed Giant Wolf howled and pounced down toward it.
