After Bai Yaoyao nodded, everyone hurried over to Xuan Qi.
Little Monkey, who had been watching the show all along, hurried over too. Xuan Qi glanced at Little Monkey without saying anything, and Little Monkey cupped both hands in greeting with a wide grin.
Xuan Qi blew a bubble that enclosed everyone. In the blink of an eye, a pack of mutant wolves reached them.
