Chapter 227: Front and Back Attack
The villagers ran for most of the night before reaching the Dead Man's Ditch.
The bottom of the ditch was filled with piles of bones, both animal and human. The ground made a crackling sound when one stepped on it. Even Wan Laoer's cows were unwilling to go in.
Fortunately, Taurus brought a tinder and a torch when he came out. Now he lit the torch and led the way into the ditch of the dead.
The Dead Man's Ditch is a long and narrow deep ditch with towering loess slopes on both sides. The bottom of the ditch is never exposed to sunlight all year round. Because it rained some time ago, there is still water at the bottom of the ditch, and it makes a puffing sound when you step on it.
At this time, there were about one or two hundred people following, and everyone lined up to enter the Dead Man's Ditch. The children were screaming with fear and holding their parents tightly.
Wan Laoer's cows were afraid to enter the Dead Man's Ditch, so Wan Laoer had no choice but to stop the cows at the entrance. He sat on the ox cart and waited before going in.
When everyone was about to enter the Dead Man's Ditch, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves running towards this side. From the sound, there were quite a few people, and they were getting closer.
"Murakami, could it be that someone betrayed us and told that Beiliang villain that we are in the Dead Man's Ditch?"
Changfu, who was standing behind the village chief, turned pale. There were bones under his feet and enemies were approaching above his head. He was about to collapse. He had never been so scared in his life.
At this moment, pairs of green eyes appeared opposite Taurus.
Taurus was so frightened that he was stunned and didn't even dare to speak.
"Village chief, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you speaking?" Changfu was blocked by Jinniu and could not see the situation in front of him.
Jinniu was pushed by Changfu and suddenly shouted, "Retreat! Retreat quickly! There are wolves! Run!"
But people behind were coming in, and the line was very long. The people at the back could not hear Taurus' roar at all, and some people continued to walk slowly into the ditch of the dead.
Changfu was still frightened when he heard Taurus's desperate roar. He was so scared that he immediately leaned his head over Taurus' shoulder. The sight made him faint.
Taurus only felt his shoulders sink, and Changfu's entire body pressed on Taurus' shoulders.
People who were close to Taurus also heard its roar. The team immediately became agitated, and panic and despair spread among the crowd.
The most desperate one is Taurus, he is caught in a sandwich, retreating from the back while wolves are staring at him from the front.
Following Taurus's loud roar, the wolves also attacked the crowd, with Taurus being the first to bear the brunt.
Because the space at the bottom of the Dead Man's Ditch is narrow, it is difficult for people to retreat. The same is true for wolves, as the space is equally narrow, which limits their range of activities and prevents them from attacking in groups.
Wan Laoer was also shocked when he saw the crowd starting to run out frantically. As he was driving an ox cart, he had not yet entered and was the last one. At this time, seeing everyone rushing out anxiously, he didn't know what was going on, but his ox cart still blocked everyone's way out.
"Hurry up, get your cart out, the wolf is coming."
Wan Laoer encountered too many wolves on his way to exile. He was so frightened by the sight of wolves that his first reaction was to turn the car around and run away.
But he found out to his embarrassment that he couldn't turn the front of the cart around because of limited space. His cart could only move forward all the way to the end and then exit from another exit.
"Are you deaf? The wolf is coming, why don't you run away quickly."
"My car won't turn." Wan Laoer became more and more anxious as he spoke. The cow also began to become increasingly agitated and started mooing.
"It's over, it's all over. We'll die if we go out, and we'll die if we go in. There's no way to escape death. Let's fight that beast to the death."
Because at this time there were clear sounds of horse hooves and neighing, as well as a lot of human voices, they were like a pie, being attacked from both sides.
Someone broke down and started crying: "It's over, it's all over now. If I had known I would have died at home. Now my body will be exposed in the wilderness. I never thought of dying this way."
The one in most danger now is Taurus. At this moment, the wolf king behind him suddenly let out a long howl towards the sky, and the leader wolf jumped towards Taurus.
Taurus still held the torch in his hand. Perhaps he was too frightened and too desperate. He closed his eyes, made up his mind, and threw the torch at the wolf that pounced on him. The wolf nimbly stepped on the loess wall and dodged. As soon as its front legs touched the ground, it immediately pounced on him again. The torch in Taurus's hand was wielded by him with great power, but it could not resist for long and soon the torch went out.
Taurus only felt a gust of smelly blood wind coming towards him. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it, but the wolf immediately bit his arm, leaving a bloody hole.
Then the wolf shook its head and dragged the Taurus to the ground, and the Taurus fell into the mud in an instant.
The wolf immediately pressed Taurus' back with its claws, opened its big mouth, and bit Taurus' neck.
A scream was heard throughout the Dead Man's Valley, and Changfu was also pounced on by a wolf.
Taurus had given up struggling. He felt death approaching and slowly closed his eyes because the wolf's saliva had already flowed into his neck.
Just when Taurus felt completely disheartened, the wolf that was pressing on his back suddenly fell on him, let out a shrill whimper, and then died.
Taurus thought he was dead. He saw a Black Impermanence falling from the sky, landing right in front of him and killing the wolves in front of him.
Changfu was bitten on the arm by a wolf. He gasped in pain and thought he had died at the wolf's mouth. However, he did not expect that the wolf would fall directly from the sky and die!
Changfu couldn't believe his eyes. He tentatively kicked the wolf's body and found that it was indeed silent.
Changfu then saw in the faint light many ropes hanging from above, and agile figures rushed to the bottom of the valley, blocking their way and fighting with the wolves.
Changfu then realized that someone had come to rescue them.
"Someone is coming, the savior is coming, we are saved, don't panic everyone, the savior is coming." Changfu shouted excitedly at the bottom of the ditch. The crowd behind him, who were panicking like headless flies, finally heard his words and turned their heads to look forward, only to see that the wolves that had just pounced on them were gone!
Changfu quickly went to turn over the golden bull.
"Village chief, are you dead?" Changfu pulled a wolf off the Taurus and picked the Taurus up from the ground.
"Changfu, you are dead too? I just saw Hei Wuchang. Wasn't he here to capture souls? Why did he go to kill wolves?" Jinniu thought he was dead, and Changfu was dead too.
Changfu pinched Jinniu's arm hard, causing Jinniu to gasp in pain.
"I'm not dead? I still feel the pain." Jinniu immediately jumped up from Changfu. At this time, the surrounding environment made him completely realize that he was still alive.
But the wolves were gone.
