The sudden, strange noise made Tang Xiaoquan's body stiffen. Xu Renjie saw Tang Xiaoquan's peculiar expression and instinctively asked, "What's wrong? Xiao Tang, you..."
Seemingly startled, Tang Xiaoquan suddenly raised a hand in a silent gesture and then bent his arm outward, indicating for Xu Renjie to listen carefully.
Xu Renjie, following the directive, slightly furrowed his brows and leaned in to listen, but outside the car, there was only the howl of the north wind; he heard no unusual sounds.
Unlike Xu Renjie, because Tang Xiaoquan was on the ground, he could very clearly hear the "huffing" noise coming from outside the car.
Moreover, after some time listening, Tang Xiaoquan was certain that the sound most likely came from a creature's mouth.
Could there be someone outside the car? This thought lingered for just a second before Tang Xiaoquan dismissed it from his mind.
