"Let's get out of here. They probably won't dare to attack because of the fire."

"yes."

The three brothers absolutely obeyed Zhang Zhenye's orders, and the eight teenagers slowly retreated from the area. They all gripped daggers, ready for battle.

As they slowly approached the edge of the pine forest, the wolf pack could no longer contain themselves. One wolf emerged as the leader, followed by the other thirteen.

"The one in front should be the wolf king, boss. If he goes into battle, leave it to me."

Gu Yaozu was eager to try.

"You need to be careful, I don't think it will be deployed immediately."

We need to deal not only with the wolves we've chosen, but also with those behind us. Understand?

"yes!"

The eight people were divided into pairs, and they gradually increased the distance between them.

The alpha wolf suddenly raised its neck and roared, and twelve more rushed out from behind it.

"Boss, does it mean it'll leave one behind to protect it?" Gu Yaozu looked at the alpha wolf and almost drooled.

"That's roughly the idea. Go back and read more books." Zhang Zhenye was really at his wit's end. If he was told to read more books, people would just give him a perfunctory answer.

At this moment, Jia and his six companions also gathered around.

"Zhang Zhenye, is one horse per group?"

"Yes, Master."

Now the six people have spread out, and it's a battle between two armies.

"Boss, I'll go first." Gu Yaozu said and rushed forward first.

"Lu Jing, Gan Lu, you two go over there too, each of you hold one horse back."

"Wife, don't worry, I'll stay here to protect you."

Although Liu Jingze did not speak, he stood still beside Zhang Hongmei.

Because Gu Yaozu rushed out, both sides immediately started moving.

Seeing so many of them, the alpha wolf couldn't sit still any longer.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Jingze, you two need to go too, right? Don't worry, I'm definitely capable of protecting myself, and I'll be behind you, so there won't be any problems."

The two men exchanged a glance and moved closer to the alpha wolf.

Although all four teams were injured, they also grasped the wolf's patterns. They finished almost simultaneously.

A kept an eye on them, thinking, "They either fall or it's the end. For the enemy, we must make them die."

The four men checked the wolves one by one and confirmed that all four wolves were dead.

Slowly, four more wolves were released, and this time the game was over even faster because the people in front had helped them wear down the wolves' stamina.

The alpha wolf could no longer sit still; it howled and prepared to charge. Zhang Shouyi and Liu Jingze each rode one of its steeds.

Xiao Li and Jia also gathered around.

"I don't need it here," Liu Jingze refused Xiao Li.

Zhang Shouyi also refused Jia's offer. It had truly been a long time since he had personally taken action, and this suddenly stirred up his fighting spirit.

Lu Jing and Gan Lu retreated to Zhang Hongmei's side. Both of them were equally on high alert.

Jia watched the eight children fight with his arms crossed, and when he saw them fight the third wolf, it was clear that they were running out of energy.

They were all injured in the end, but they still won.

The four children finished fighting and immediately surrounded him.

Zhang Shouyi, distracted, asked, "Xiao Si, can you continue?"

Gu Yaozu shouted excitedly, "Dad, I can do it, I want the alpha wolf."

Zhang Zhenye glanced at them and said, "Second son, fourth son, you two go and take over from Dad. Third son and I will go to Uncle's place. The four of you stay where you are."

"Yes, boss." Gu Yaozu finished speaking and rushed forward with a roar, with Zhang Ruifeng following closely behind him.

Liu Jingze also gradually withdrew, feeling very gratified as he watched the two children cooperate so well.

Zhenye remained calm under pressure and was able to analyze the situation clearly.

He knew his younger brothers very well. The second and fourth brothers were both warlike and too competitive, so he entrusted the alpha wolf to them.

The third child was more mature than the other two, so they gave in. This was excellent, and Wei Yu showed no dissatisfaction.

Xiao Si and Lao Er worked together very well. Although they were both competitive, they also had a spirit of cooperation. That's what brothers in arms should be like.

Zhenye and his group finished faster than the others. The two boys' chests heaved as they checked the fallen wolf again. Seeing that it was still breathing, they delivered another blow.

Now the two of them finally had time to watch the game. Liu Jingze stood beside Zhang Shouyi with the two of them, and no one in the audience spoke.

The second and fourth wolves were having a tough time. They had already lost a lot of energy, and this was the alpha wolf. But neither of them lost heart; instead, they fought even harder.

Both were aware of their physical limitations, so they aimed for a quick victory. However, the alpha wolf was intelligent; knowing there was no turning back, it became even more ferocious.

Zhang Hongmei also came over, and seeing that both children were injured, her eyes welled up with tears of heartache.

Zhang Shouyi patted her on the shoulder but didn't say anything.

Zhenye and Weiyu held her hands and comforted her.

About fifteen minutes later, the two won a hard-fought victory.

The two lay on the ground, looking at the alpha wolf, who was dead beyond any doubt, and laughed.

"Get up, all of you, get up! You just did strenuous exercise, don't you know the dangers?"

The two struggled to their feet, and the four students surrounded them, all the children wearing excited smiles.

"Hmm, very good, but you still have too many shortcomings. Let's rest, have a meal, and when we get back, each of you should give me a report. I need to know if you have realized your shortcomings."

"Yes, Master."

Only then did Zhang Hongmei rush over, take out alcohol swabs from her bag, and help the second son and the fourth son clean their wounds.

"Mom, don't be sad, we're okay."

"Yes, Mom isn't sad. Mom is very proud of all four of you. My sons are wonderful."

The wounds weren't deep, but they were all scratches, and there were so many of them. The second son's wounds were particularly deep.

After dealing with things outside, forty minutes passed. Zhang Hongmei led the four of them into the tent, gave each of them a glass of water, and whispered something to them.

"I think you should try cultivating now. Is it faster than usual?"

After the four children finished drinking their water, they sat down cross-legged. Seeing their calm faces, Zhang Hongmei finally felt at ease.

They didn't go out. They just sat at the door waiting, afraid that someone would disturb them.

An hour later, breakfast was ready; it was already past seven in the morning.

The four children also woke up from their meditation. "Mom, it was much faster than usual, and I feel so relaxed all over."

"Okay, that's good. It's inconvenient to take your clothes out, but your wounds have healed a lot."

"Mom, it's okay. Our wounds usually heal pretty quickly."

The mother and her five children came out, bringing rice porridge and salted eggs.

The children had used up a lot of energy, so they ate with great relish.

"Dad, should we take the wolf back with us?"

"Of course, the wolf pelts are divided among you."
