Chapter 07. Vile And Very Cruel

Remembering the little girl's treatment of her just a moment ago, Ara couldn't stay still. Seeing a large wolf running towards Rania, Ara turned and ran with all her might towards the little girl.

"Don't come here," Rania shouted when she saw Ara running towards her. The girl kept shaking her head while occasionally looking around.

As if deaf, Ara ignored the little girl's screams, she kept running. Seeing arrows stuck everywhere, Ara immediately grabbed two arrows and held them tightly in each hand.

Instead of running away, Ara seemed to intend to lunge at the wolf that was already very close to her. Her eyes were so sharp, she didn't care about Rania, who had been screaming hysterically ever since.

"Don't come any closer," the little girl shouted again.

Ara didn't care, the girl ran past Rania. The wolf jumped and lunged at her and at the same time, Ara dropped her knees to the ground with both hands holding the arrow she swung upwards.

"Crash..."

"Hmmppsshhh..."

Suddenly a howl full of pain was heard.

The beast fell ought next to Rania with two arrows pierced deep in its stomach.

"Hffftt…" Ara exhaled roughly, her hands shaking violently. Not because of fear, but because of the action she had just done. Just a little wrong, then maybe the girl she wanted to save was now dead.

Slowly rising from her position, Ara then looked around her. It turned out that the ground around her was already covered in blood, whether it was from the wolves or the slaves' blood.

Even so, dozens of arrows continued to rain down on the hunting ground where she was.

While Rania, the little girl was frozen on the spot with a pale face, sweat was visible all over her body.

But the next second, "Ahhh ..." the girl screamed again, not screaming like before, but she screamed in pain, along with the arrow that managed to separate from her calf.

Yes, Ara pulled out the arrow without the owner's permission. She did it on purpose for Rania's sake. After that, she tore off the hem of the clothes he was wearing, right where the arrowhead had nearly hit her earlier.

After doing that, she immediately bandaged Rania's calf to stop the blood that kept seeping out.

"Hold on a bit," Ara muttered without looking at Rania.

The little girl just nodded, the occasional sound of her teeth chattering in pain.

"Why did you help me? It was very dangerous," said Rania shortly after Ara finished dressing her wound.

"Can you stand up?" Instead of answering, Ara asked back.

"Sister just go, I'm okay if you leave me here alone, after all, I'm not sure I can survive after this," replied Rania staring at Ara's eyes intently.

Hearing that, Ara took a shaky breath. Looking around, it turned out that the remaining slaves she could only count on her fingers, as well as the wolves that were only a few left.

"There is no more terrible suffering than letting others play with your life, Rania. Stop saying things like that. Don't ever stop hoping even though it's impossible," said Ara while patting the little girl's shoulder.

"Let me help you," she added trying to help Rania.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, several men who were standing on the stage immediately stopped their actions.

"Woah, look at that girl over there," shouted Yue Ahn as she swung her arrow in the direction where Ara and Rania were.

"What's with that?" asked Feng Ming following the gaze of the man standing next to him.

"You didn't see it? Seriously you guys didn't see the girl in action?" Yue Ahn replied enthusiastically, looking left and right.

"Is there something wrong?" said Xue Yen who was still busy with his arrows.

"That girl just killed a wolf. Great," Yue Ahn said with an adoring smile.

One of Wang Xiumin's eyebrows rose when he heard his friend's words, "Maybe you saw it wrong. There's no way a slave could do such a thing."

"Keep arguing, I will kill all the remaining wolves and be the victor," Xue Yen said with a smile on his face, the next second another arrow shot from the bow in his hand.

"Are the girls you saw the two over there?" asked Feng Ming pointing with an arrow in his hand.

"Erm, right," replied Yue Ahn nodding.

"They are just corpse candidates," Feng Ming replied with a smirk and slowly raised the bow and child in his hands.

While on the other hand, Ara carried Rania towards the nearby trees while watching the surroundings, she is afraid if wolves are running towards them. Thinking of other people at a time like this is not the right thing because the danger is still lurking everywhere. Only, considering the little girl's kindness to her, she couldn't just walk away and leave her.

Right now she was also risking her own life. If today is the last day for her to be in this world, Ara accepts. By helping Rania, she had prepared for the worst that could happen.

Jlleb...!!!

Rania who was in a sling on her back suddenly fell weak. Sensing the change in the little girl, Ara turned to find Rania with her eyes tightly closed.

"Rania, what happened? Did you sleep?" asked Ara while shaking the little girl's body.

"Rania..." she called when she didn't get a response.

Ara faintly felt the clothes she was wearing were wet on the back. Her brows furrowed.

"Rania, wake up..." she called once again but no matter how hard she tried to wake the little girl, there was no response.

With a slow movement, she tried to feel her clothes that felt wet.

'Blood?' her mind churned.

At the same time, she immediately put Rania down.

Found the little girl's clothes were covered in blood, her breath suddenly dropped, an arrow plunged deep into the little girl's back. With just a glance, Ara knew very well that the tip of the arrow had penetrated Rania's heart.

Her breath caught as she watched the scene before her. Truly cruel.

Turning her gaze towards the hill, her gaze was so sharp, her hands clenched into fists. It was very clear that this incident was not an accident, but was done very deliberately.

Not without reason, because there were no wolves left in the vicinity within a few meters radius, How could the arrow hit Rania if it wasn't done on purpose?

'Totally vile and cruel,' her mind rebelled.
