Chapter 55 Chapter 55: Grassland Shock

Several carriages stopped and were surrounded by the crowd.

The two teams joined together, and Chen Yang and Wang Hu stood in front, facing the wolves.

Some people who didn't have time to join the werewolf battle last night picked up their weapons that they hadn't used for a long time. "They've been idle for a few months, it's time to get them stained with blood." They laughed heartily, trying to hide their fear.

Having lost their brothers who they had been with day and night last night, they were still feeling depressed today and had been eager to have a good fight.

However, the number of wolves exceeded what they could bear, and the human instinct for survival made them feel afraid.

"Be careful, the scouts said there are about ten wolf kings here." Chen Yang warned.

"Be mentally prepared." Wang Hu replied, his eyes spitting anger.

But he was wondering in his heart that with so many wolves around, it would be strange if there was no wolf king.

He lost three of his men last night and was already feeling aggrieved. Now that he saw the wolves, he just wanted to take revenge.

Damn it, wolf kings are such rare creatures, and the appearance of five of them last night was already strange enough; today, more than ten of them appeared at once.

Could it be that this grassland is home to the Wolf King?

Also, when did wolves appear in packs numbering in the hundreds or thousands? Could it be that all the wolves on the prairie had gathered together?

His father is so unlucky.

If he doesn't beat these beasts to pieces, he wouldn't be called Wang Hu!

…

Crazy, these wild wolves are crazy.

It was too dark last night and the fight was too brief, so the feeling wasn't very noticeable.

It was now daytime, and as soon as they started fighting, they quickly realized that this pack of wolves was unusually wild.

They looked like they had been hungry for many days, or like they had been drugged by some strong drug. They could only bite and tear like crazy. Even after their heads were chopped off, they still refused to let go of the human flesh in their mouths.

The wailing sounds continued.

The Su family's elderly, weak, and pregnant members were all securely guarded in the center, with Su Guanzhang staying behind to look after them. Those injured last night were also in this circle, wary of the wild wolves that could break through the outer circle and charge towards them at any moment.

Time was short and there was no time to set more traps. The people in the outer circle were directly attacked by the wild wolves and were in a bad condition.

The sweet human blood floating in the air greatly stimulated the wild wolf's already crazy animal nature.

Even a naturally ferocious bird like the white falcon would rarely be frightened by such a scene.

It huddled its broken leg and stopped barking. It kept turning its head alertly, staring quietly at the groups of wild wolves that were surrounding it from all directions with its irritated pupils, trying in vain to show off its arrogance and sharpness.

The wild wolves paid no attention to this ferocious bird that could once have hunted and killed its own kind, and were only concerned with scratching, biting, and killing humans.

With the wolf king present, the wolves were obviously much better trained. They charged in batches, using their bodies as ladders to try to cross the protection line ahead, but they were quickly killed by the people in front.

The wolf's corpse and the human's wailing were heard at the same time.

Xu Xuanniang, Chang Meiyan and Ding Qianqian each held a piece of firewood in their hands as a simple weapon to protect the children.

Even Old Madam Su, Xu Yu Niang and Second Aunt Su, who were protected on the inside, were not willing to be outdone and also picked up a piece of firewood.

Xuan Jinyu's heart was pounding and she was a little at a loss for a moment.

When she was excited, her strength was greater than that of more than ten men combined, but her great strength did not increase her chances of winning against the wild wolves.

She was carrying a big belly and it was gradually becoming difficult for her to move.

She realized her own powerlessness and began to feel depressed and sad.

Now Mu Ge'er has started to follow Su Guanwu in horse stance, so among the people here, Xuan Jinyu and Xuan Wensheng are the only two people who know nothing about martial arts.

Even the two maids that Xuan Wensheng brought in to serve as cooks were actually hidden masters.

They and the guards brought by Xuan Wensheng surrounded them, calmly shooting arrows one after another, reaping the lives of wild wolves.

Xuan Jinyu realized for the first time the benefits of martial arts competition and decided never to call Su Guanzhang a rough warrior again.

Xuan Jinyu at least has the advantage of being extremely powerful, while Xuan Wensheng is the completely useless scholar.

But he was in a very good mood and did not forget to comfort his sister who was obviously a little nervous and lost.

"Don't panic, sister. Look at me, your third brother. I'm not even as good as you. But your third brother is thick-skinned. It's okay as long as someone protects him."

Xuan Jinyu forced a smile at him, and was soon embraced by Su Guanzhang, with her head pressed into his arms.

"Don't look, don't listen," he said.

In the battle between humans and wolves, humans gradually fell into a disadvantage, and the situation was beyond what Xuan Jinyu could bear.

The children all listened obediently to the adults' instructions, holding onto their clothes and closing their eyes. Only Qi Ge'er, with his pale face, watched the hellish scene with a serious and calm expression.

Xuan Jinyu's heart beat faster, and she was frightened by the rare seriousness in Su Guanzhang's words. Then he held her shoulders tighter - her belly was already very big now, and he never touched her waist when he held her, for fear of accidentally hurting the baby.

All Xuan Jinyu could see was a dark color, which was the color of his clothes.

She couldn't see anything, and he covered her ears tightly, so she couldn't hear anything.

At first, she could still smell the strong smell of blood, but soon, he pressed her deeper into his arms, and all that was left at her nose was his light, snow-like scent.

Only Xuan Jinyu and the children were well protected, and could see, hear, and hear nothing. As for Xuan Wensheng, no one cared about him, nor did they regard him as someone too delicate to withstand the cruel scene.

He stood beside Su Guanzhang. His personal bodyguard Qingfeng was sent to look after Xuan Jinyu. At this time, Qingfeng was guarding behind Su Guanzhang.

The remaining nine guards he brought with him were responsible for protecting his life, while also taking into account the safety of the elderly, weak, pregnant and injured people in this group.

At this time, they were listening to Su Guanzhang's calm command and shooting the wild wolves that tried to reap human lives one by one.

It was obvious that the wild wolf did not break through the team of nearly a hundred people in front led by Su Sheng, Su Guanyu, Su Guanwen and Su Guanwu. The voice of Su Guanzhang beside him was also calm and rational enough. The number of wild wolves killed by their team was also considerable.

But Xuan Wensheng felt that even those in their inner circle were at risk of being torn to pieces and eaten by the wild wolves that rushed in at any time.

It’s a mess. Too messy.

It was still too much for a team of more than a hundred people to face one or two thousand wild wolves.

Even though Su Sheng, the battle-hardened General Su, led the team, and Su Guanyu and the twins Su Guanwen and Wu, three experienced major generals, were on the sidelines, their team was still repeatedly dispersed by wolves.

The team reunited again and again, enduring the attacks of the wolf pack again and again.

The sky was filled with blood, and it was impossible to tell whether it was wolf blood or human blood.

…

Still, more than ten wild wolves broke through the encirclement and rushed towards their group who were not affected much.

It was so close that Xuan Wensheng could even see the human flesh that had not yet been swallowed in the wolf's mouth. He didn't know who it belonged to outside.

Fear, only deep fear.

Xuan Wensheng couldn't think of anything. He just stood there stiffly, staring blankly into the ferocious and mad wolf eyes.

"Puff" and "Swish".

Only when he heard the sounds of swords stabbing and chopping the wolf's body did he slowly come to his senses.

All he could see was red, and all he could hear were the howling of wolves and the cries of people in pain. The smell of blood in his nose was so strong that it was suffocating, making him want to vomit.

Xuan Wensheng's face was pale. He pinched his palms tightly, trying hard to swallow back the nausea that was rising in his throat.

"No, if we keep going like this, sooner or later these beasts will exhaust us." Su Guanwen wiped the wolf blood that splattered on his face and shouted to Su Sheng, "Uncle, cover me. I'm going to kill those wolf kings."

Su Sheng turned around and cut off the throat of the wolf that attacked him with a knife. He swiftly moved sideways to avoid the spurting smelly blood so as not to disturb his vision.

Hearing Su Guanwen's request, he replied loudly: "Yu kid, go with me, be careful."

Su Guanyu quickly jumped out of the team and shuttled lightly among the wolves with Su Guanwen. Soon, blood splattered again.

Xuan Wensheng's heart was about to jump out of his throat.

There were only two of them, yet they dared to rush out of the wolf pack and enter a larger wolf pack to kill the wolf king?

But soon, his pounding heart finally slowed down a little.

He saw that after the two brothers Su Guanyu and Su Guanwen rushed out of the wolf pack, more than ten people who had been hiding somewhere jumped out, followed them, and flew towards the wolf pack where the wolf king was.

He recognized that two or three of them were secret guards of the Xuan family, and one or two were secret guards of the Lin family. He could not recognize the rest.

He must be the Su family's secret guard. He can't hide any longer now.

After those more than ten people jumped out, soon more people jumped out from their hiding places and joined the team to strangle the wild wolves.

Some joined this side, while others followed that side.

Xuan Wensheng didn't know martial arts, but he could feel that with the addition of these people, Su Sheng and the others immediately began to feel at ease, and no longer looked as helpless as before.

There were also fewer cries of pain from people.

When the sun rose above their heads, Su Guanyu brought the good news that all the wolf kings had been killed.

Without the guidance of the wolf king, the wolf pack quickly collapsed.

The people fighting in the front were all soaked in blood, and they couldn't tell whether it was the blood of wolves, the blood of their own people, or their own blood.

After enduring the most ferocious attack, humans finally began to fight back, and large numbers of wild wolf corpses fell.

The wolves finally began to get scared. The crazy wolves regained some clarity in their eyes and fled in all directions.

There are still about three to four hundred surviving wild wolves.

They killed more than a thousand wild wolves.

Xuan Wensheng took a deep breath, but was soon choked by the strong smell of blood in the air, and started coughing uncontrollably.

"Thank you for your help." Su Sheng clasped his fists.

He also recognized his own secret guard, but simply looked away calmly.
