The wolves seemed to sense the humans' fear of them, so instead of pouncing on them, they slowly moved forward, as if playing a cat-and-mouse game, slowly eating away at their fear until they became numb, and then they would eat them bit by bit.
No matter how slow you are, you will eventually reach the end.
The villagers of Huojia Village looked at the wolves gathered around the fire, trembling with fear and hugging each other.
Huo Jinqian looked at the dense swarms of wolves surrounding them, his composure was almost destroyed, his scalp tingled, he tightly gripped the wooden stick in his hand, keeping an eye on the wolves at all times.
Huo Jinzhou and others who had never seen a wolf were trembling and could hardly hold their tools.
It's so scary, these are not just dozens of wolves, there are more than a hundred, okay?
Seeing the fire, the wolves dared not move forward, but they were unwilling to give up the food that was so readily available, so they all stood in front of the fire, waiting for the humans' fear to reach its peak, at which point they would lose their composure and run out to die.
It has to be said that wolves are actually smart animals. They understand psychological warfare and know that fighting alone can easily lead to losses or even death. Therefore, they go out to find food in groups and share the food when they find it.
Wolves are not only smart, but also very united, and are indeed difficult to deal with.
The encounter with the wolf pack in Huojia Village was a real disaster for them. It would be impossible for them to escape unscathed this time. They would most likely be in great danger and become food for the wolves.
The wolves had a good idea. Under their stares, many villagers were frightened and became mentally unstable. One or two villagers even wanted to run away. Fortunately, they were caught by people outside, so no disaster happened.
Although the villagers did not go out, it caused panic and everyone inside was shouting hysterically.
Huo Jinqian felt that this was not a good idea. Before long, the villagers would go crazy and run around, only to die.
We can’t let this happen, we have to find a way to appease them: “Fellow villagers, calm down, wolves are afraid of fire, as long as we don’t go out, they can’t get in.
We still have a lot of firewood. If you are afraid, we can increase the fire. As long as we can hold on until dawn, they will leave.
Some villagers are really scared, so just ignore them.
If you just try to escape, you will fall into the wolves' mouths and become their food.
Everyone, trust me, I will definitely lead you all to Jiangnan safely, provided you follow my instructions."
Huo Jinqian's words calmed many villagers, and some of them were still afraid and wanted to leave.
Their idea was simple: there were so many people, but only a hundred or so wolves, and they would kill more than a hundred of them. The remaining people just had to run desperately, and perhaps they would have a chance of survival.
The villagers were eager to try and incite the others to follow them, but before they could speak, those who believed in Huo Jinqian had already spoken: "Jinqian, you're smart. We believe in you and will do as you say. Don't you agree?"
"Yes!" the villagers answered in unison.
The villagers had no choice but to give up. They looked for opportunities to run out and escape!
The young man began to add firewood, and the fire suddenly became bigger, and the wolves took a step back.
There was a wolf in the pack, glaring at Huo Jinqian fiercely: This human is not simple. It will be difficult to eat human flesh tonight. We can only fight with them here, and wait until the human can't stand it anymore and runs out, then we can deal with them.
That wolf was the king of the pack. It roared and looked at the wolves around it, as if to say: Be prepared at all times, and bite any human to death as soon as they step out of the fire circle.
The wolves around nodded, as if responding to its words, and then looked at Huo Jinqian in unison, wishing they could bite him to death: If it weren't for this human being meddling, they would all be eating delicious and refreshing human flesh at this moment.
Even though he was being watched by so many wolves, Huo Jinqian still felt his scalp tingling and he felt scared and panicked.
For the sake of the villagers, he had to remain calm and let them watch.
However, the wooden stick in his hand revealed his fear, and his hand holding the stick was sweating.
It’s amazing that the wolves have great concentration. They didn’t bark or move, they just looked at the villagers.
The villagers' composure was gone, and those who were afraid of death could not bear it anymore. They started yelling and ran away.
The young men who were protecting the villagers did not expect this to happen. They were just paying attention to the wolves. By the time they reacted and wanted to catch those people, it was too late. They had already run out of the circle of fire.
The wolf really does not move unless the enemy moves, and will move again when the enemy moves.
Seeing the villagers running out to die, the nearby wolves pounced on them as fast as lightning, biting them. They did not bite the blood vessels, but wanted to slowly bite these humans to death.
"Ah! My ears!"
"Ah, my feet!"
"Ah, my hand!"
The villagers who ran away let out miserable cries, which echoed in the valley.
The villagers' screams frightened them even more, causing them to hug each other and tremble.
Huo Jinqian and others looked at each other, picked up the tools in their hands and rushed out to rescue the villagers.
What could I do? I couldn't just watch them go to the wolves' stomachs, could I? The only option was to go out and rescue them.
It was really difficult for the villagers to snatch people from the wolves' mouths with tools, because as soon as they came out, other wolves had already surrounded them and fought with them.
How could their tools possibly kill these ferocious wolves? They came out just to deliver food to these wolves.
Only the hunters, the pig butchers, and Huo Jinqian and his brothers killed more than a dozen wolves. However, they were all injured, including the young men who came out.
The wolf king suddenly moved. It pounced on Huo Jinqian as fast as lightning and was about to knock Huo Jinqian down, putting him in imminent danger.
