Chapter 18 Hunting the Wolf Beast
The feeling was so wonderful that Yu Zhongdou couldn't describe it. It was as if all his sensory systems were mobilized and the slightest movement could alarm them.
The wind brought the scent of the wolf demon, his ears detected its movements, and his eyes could always catch a flash of green light. He was like a "catcher". Even when surrounded by the wolf demon, he could always find a way out and lead everyone out of the wolf demon's sight without any danger.
Qinghe Village is located in a low-lying area in a valley.
A wind-watching wolf demon was standing on a high place and watching, but the wind was too strong, and the dead leaves were flying with dust, forcing it to close its eyes to avoid it.
What it didn't see was that in just a short while, Yu Zhongdou and his cousin's family avoided its sight and went into the nearby mountains.
"Aqiu..."
The wolf demon sneezed and rubbed its itchy nose with its paws.
Huh?
It was a little confused and felt as if it smelled the scent of human beings.
But upon closer inspection, there was nothing.
The lookout wolf guessed that the smell of humans might be too strong and it could smell it from such a distance.
Not far away, Yu Zhongdou and others who had taken shelter in the downwind area: "..."
Damn it!
Scared to death!
It’s fine that there are so many wolves in the village, but who would have thought that after they went into the mountains, there would be such a huge wolf demon waiting for them?
I dare not move, I dare not move at all.
A group of people squatted there, staring at the wolf demon that was only a few meters away from them, feeling that if they moved they would be discovered, so they didn't move at all. They felt a little regretful that they should have stayed away from it.
If Yu Zhongdou hadn't been sharp-eyed, they would have almost ended up in tragedy due to excessive joy and crashed into each other.
Because they were stuck here, they also "witnessed" with their own eyes how the wolf demon hunted their village and wiped out every family one by one. Just like when they used to catch rabbits, once they finally found a rabbit nest, they would use smoke to fumigate it.
Then guard the exit of the rabbit's nest, waiting for them to fall into the trap and catch them all in one fell swoop.
It’s not that no one noticed the abnormality, but it was too late. The front door and backyard of his house were guarded by wolf demons. As soon as they moved, they were discovered by the wolf demons.
It let out a low growl, and the wolf demons in charge of hunting split into two teams. One team stayed where they were, while the other team surrounded them.
"Wolf!"
“Lots of wolves!”
"Help!"
“Lots of wolves!”
…
Their numerical advantage made it impossible for them to escape the monsters' pursuit.
Later, the wind-watching monsters joined the hunting team and no longer kept watch.

After Yu's mother cooked the meal, she wondered if her son would come back. However, she never expected that it would not only be her son who would come back, but also her eldest brother and his family.
Then she learned the news about the "wolf demon" from her son and eldest brother's family.
"What?! A group?" Village Chief Wu Mu took a breath and quickly confirmed, "Boy from the Yu family, are you sure it's a group? Are you sure? This is not a beast tide, how can there be so many monsters?"
Yu Zhongdou said with lingering fear: "It was just a group. I thought there were only 20 or 30 of them at first, but when I ran into the Lookout Wolf, I realized that there were not 20 or 30 of them, but 200 or 300..."
The reason is very simple. In addition to the hunting team, every household can assign two wolf demons to guard the front door and the backyard. How could this number be small?
Qinghe Village is larger than Yilan Village and has more than a hundred households.
How many people would have to be eaten to feed such a large group of wolf monsters? No wonder they targeted Qinghe Village. They probably thought there were more people there than here, so they chose that side.
But it doesn’t mean that if people choose that side, they won’t come here.
The two villages were so close that Chief Wu Mu didn't dare to gamble.
He quickly prepared offerings to worship the mountain god.
When Yang Xiangwei heard the voice of Wumu Village Chief, she immediately went to Yilan Village.
Huh?
What is that?
Yang Xiangwei clearly "saw" that there was a strange little guy on the territory of Yilan Village.
The wolf-like cub was moving among the trees like a ghost, raising its legs to urinate and mark its place from time to time.
[Race: Wolf Hunter (Earth Grade)]
【Gender: Male】
[Level: 25/100]
[HP: 63/100]
[Spiritual Power: 25/100]
[Skills: Sprint, Lurk, Mark]
…
Yang Xiangwei: “…”
It was too late for Wumu Village Chief to worry, as they had already been targeted.
Yu Zhongdou thought that he was "gifted" with sharp ears and eyes, and was able to bring his uncle's family out. In fact, he was carrying the sacrificial food with him, which more or less concealed his aura and prevented the monster from discovering him.
But when he was with his uncle's family, he might be able to lead them to avoid the eyes of the wolf demon, but he could not cover up the human scent on his uncle's family.
Even if you manage to hide from them for a short period of time, you will still be discovered by them after a long time.
Yang Xiangwei speculated that when the wolf demon discovered that they had "escaped", it did not run over to chase them, probably because it wanted them to lead the way.
After hearing what Yang Xiangwei said, Wumu Village Chief's face changed instantly: "They have already entered the village?! Then what...what should we do? There are two or three hundred wolf monsters. We can't beat them at all... Lord Mountain God, should we move?"
One monster is enough to deal with, let alone two or three hundred of them. Village chief Wumu felt that they probably only had one option, which was to "move" to the territory of the mountain god.
He must remember correctly that there are "goblins" on the territory of the mountain god. It is not clear how powerful those "goblins" are, but Huangshan is so big that there must be many "goblins".
Even if we outnumber them, we can still kill those wolf monsters.
"They are called 'hunting wolf beasts', a kind of monster that lives on hunting." Yang Xiangwei said, "Not all animals that have become spirits can be called 'wolf monsters'. Don't let the wolf monsters in my mountains hear this. If they know you call them the same name as a group of man-eating monsters, they will get angry."
"There are wolf monsters in your mountains too?!" Village chief Wumu was so shocked that he forgot about moving for a moment.
What are you moving?
What's the point of moving? There are wolf monsters on Mount Huangshan. If they move there, wouldn't they be like sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?
Yang Xiangwei said meaningfully, "Isn't this normal? My Huangshan is so big, there are all kinds of animals, isn't it normal to have a few wolves? When a wolf becomes a spirit, what else can we call it if not a wolf demon? Can we call it a wolf spirit or a wolf monster? Just like the green-haired man you met, it is a parrot that became a spirit, also called a bird demon. The 'old deer man' you mentioned is a sika deer that became a spirit, also called a deer demon. No matter what kind of demon it is, it is collectively called a demon or a monster."
So, don’t get nervous when you hear the word “X monster”, because that mountain is full of monsters.
Wumu Village Chief: "...You don't eat people, do you?"
"I don't like them eating people, but if you make them angry, even if they don't eat, I won't be able to tell if they take a few bites." He is so busy every day, how can he have the time to keep an eye on them every day.
If a person eats a human, the evil spirit in the body will change, and He can see it. But if a person bites a human, the evil spirit in the body will not change. How can He see it?
Village chief Wu Mu understood. No wonder the mountain god "reminded" him not to shout "wolf monster" casually. It turned out that the monster in this mountain had a bad temper and would get angry if his name was called randomly.
They don't eat humans, but they will bite.
Think about the head of the green-haired bird. Its beak is so sharp that it would hurt if it bites you.
There is also the old deer. He is a vegetarian and you can't eat him, but he has hooves. If he kicks you a few times, your bones will break.
