This was no place to linger. The strong smell of blood might attract other predators, so after a brief tidy up, everyone prepared to descend the mountain
Wang Wen was supported by Jiang Chuan, while Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu helped a soldier with a leg injury. Another soldier, whose injuries were lighter, had to make his own way down the mountain. As for Shen Mo...
Jiang Xia sneaked a glance at the boy with a pallid face riding on Zhou Lan's back. It couldn't be helped, Shen Mo was more severely injured, not just his waist and abdomen, but his legs as well, which were clawed by the wolves. The sight was heartbreaking.
Shen Mo initially refused to be carried, but his face turned pale from pain with any movement. Eventually, they decided that the strongest, Zhou Lan, would carry him.
With everyone's persuasion, Shen Mo finally agreed to ride on Zhou Lan's back.
