Guoguo walked into the cotton field, through the thicket, and continued until she reached the path beside the village.
She didn't go onto the village path; perhaps tired from walking, she plopped down in the thicket, panting heavily, and through the gaps in the grass, she spotted the leopard on the village path.
The leopard seemed to have noticed her and lazily started walking towards her.
At this moment, four riders were swiftly approaching from the right direction on the village path.
The thirteen people stuck in the mire heard the sound of hooves and looked in that direction.
"Qi Cheng, quickly save the lord!"
"Qi Cheng, shoot the leopard!"
The thirteen people called out loudly upon seeing their companions arrive.
Guoguo quickly blew the golden whistle.
The leopard let out a low growl and leaped into the thicket.
At the same time, several arrows flew over, but they missed, embedding into the mud by the roadside.
