King Flame Eagle was astonished to see that these two-legged beasts not only didn't run away, but seemed to be about to fight the grassland wolves.
Chen Ke ordered the other tribesmen to gather back, while he led the warriors to meet the wolves that had surrounded them.
"Soldiers! Now it's time to test our results. Do you all have confidence?"
Although the warriors of the Youqi tribe experienced tremendous changes in their bodies after breaking through the first stage of body refinement, they had not yet truly experienced a life-or-death battle, and Chen Ke worried that they would still feel fear deep down.
After all, their current opponent was a pack of wolves from the grasslands, a pack they used to flee from at the mere sight of them.
However, the soldiers were brave and fearless to Chen Ke's surprise, shouting "Yes!" with boundless pride.
The prairie wolves opposite were clearly surprised that the two-legged creatures didn't run away immediately but instead seemed ready to come at them. But this suited them just fine, saving them the trouble of chasing after them.
"Awooo!" At the alpha wolf's command, the pack of wolves immediately launched an attack.
In that instant, a pack of wolves, each the size of a small calf, charged forward with ferocious expressions, their mouths wide open, revealing sharp, menacing teeth, intent on biting off the neck of the two-legged beast opposite them.
"superior!"
"Charge!"
"Kill them!"
The soldiers' blood boiled, their muscles bulged, and their veins stood out. Without hesitation, they charged forward.
Chen Ke took the lead and kicked a wolf charging at the front directly in the head. With a loud "bang!", the wolf's head exploded like a watermelon, spilling out red and white brain matter.
!!
The prairie wolf following behind was so frightened that it suddenly stopped in its tracks, its eerie green eyes filled with fear and uncertainty.
But the warriors, their morale soaring, gave the steppe wolves no chance to be surprised or hesitant, and charged forward unarmed.
"Awooo!" The prairie wolf was forced to join the battle.
The warriors, their blood boiling with rage, charged into the wolf pack and slaughtered them on all sides. The already weakened wolf pack was pushed back step by step, and soon the blood-stained grass was littered with wolf carcasses.
The battle lasted no more than five minutes, and in the blink of an eye, only seven or eight of the dozens of prairie wolves remained, barely clinging to life.
Seeing the remaining wolves circling around the soldiers and trying to escape, Chen Ke's eyes sharpened and he said coldly, "Speed up! Don't let a single wolf escape!"
"It's the leader!" As soon as Karulu finished speaking, he rushed over, without any fighting skills, and directly punched a grassland wolf that was trying to escape.
Turning around, he grabbed the wolf's tail with tremendous force, spinning the wolf 720 degrees. With a "thud," the wolf fell to the ground, its neck bent at an eerie angle, completely lifeless.
"good!"
"Captain is awesome!"
"Haha, it's my turn!"
"Watch this! Nobody can take this one from me!"
In the end, the few remaining escaped steppe wolves became the objects of contention among the soldiers.
Just as the last fleeing wolf was about to be overtaken, suddenly, with a whoosh, a huge rock struck its head with perfect accuracy.
The wolf didn't even struggle; it simply collapsed and died.
Everyone turned around in surprise and realized it was Yudi.
······
After a moment of silence, the crowd suddenly erupted in loud cheers.
Wow! Judith, you're amazing!
"As expected of you, Yudi, you're still so accurate!"
"Thanks to you, Yudi, otherwise that one would have gotten away."
Chen Ke chuckled and bumped Yudi's rock-hard chest with his fist. "Well done."
Chen Ke looked around, his gaze sweeping over each of the soldiers. Good, no one was dead or seriously injured. Only a few had been scratched by wolf claws, but these injuries were negligible for the soldiers.
Seeing the warriors' great victory, the tribespeople excitedly gathered around to celebrate. Seeing everyone so happy, Chen Kesuo directly instructed the women to light a fire and roast the fresh wolf meat.
The wise man Lacha shook his serpent staff, muttering something with a look of relief, and offered his heartfelt prayers for the wounded warriors.
Chen Ke was also very satisfied with the soldiers' performance. This was the coping ability that had been trained from childhood under the pressure of survival. Once their physical training progressed further, their combat effectiveness would also experience a qualitative leap.
Cheers rose higher and higher from the open grassland, while the area where the tribesmen had gathered earlier fell silent.
Flame Eagle King silently concealed his astonishment, chewed the slippery worm in his mouth, and pondered inwardly when the two-legged beast had become so powerful.
Chen Ke stepped over and was surprised to see that the Flame Eagle King was still obediently staying in the same place. He thought that the Flame Eagle King would definitely burn the leather rope and run away when he was not there, but he did not expect that it was still here.
Chen Ke glanced at Yan Ying Wang's feet without showing any emotion, and sure enough, the leather rope had broken.
But the Flame Eagle King's mouth never stopped.
It seems there must be an invisible rope binding it.
"Do you like to eat wolf meat?" Chen Ke asked Yan Ying Wang.
Flame Eagle King snorted disdainfully through his nostrils: Too ugly, I don't like it.
Chen Ke nodded, "Then have them bring some over for you to try later, it should be pretty good."
King Flame Eagle: "￥#@？￥#@！You two-legged beasts, can't you understand eagle language? This great king doesn't like it!"
Chen Ke: "After you finish eating, you can rest. You can have wolf meat soup tomorrow morning."
Flame Eagle King: ......
I already told you, this king won't eat it!
Half an hour later, Buku came over with a piece of roasted meat that smelled delicious and was glistening with oil. "Lord Flame Eagle King, please try this piece of wolf meat and see if it's good."
The Flame Eagle King smacked its lips, wanting to say that it would never eat that ugly thing, but as soon as it opened its mouth, Buku fed the meat directly into its mouth.
Flame Eagle King: ""
...Unable to refuse such hospitality, this great king reluctantly decided to try it.
Half an hour later, Buku ran up to the barbecue area, panting, "Is there any more barbecue? Lord Flame Eagle King has finished it all again."
The tribesmen were shocked: "What? It ate a whole wolf! How did it fit inside such a small body?"
No matter how shocked the tribespeople were, in order to thank the Flame Eagle King, the women, who were originally planning to put out the fire, added more firewood, and the warriors randomly selected a wolf carcass, skinned it, gutted it, smeared it with spices, and put it on the grill.
That night, on the distant cliffs, the eagles searched every eagle nest in search of the eagle king, while the aroma of roasted wolf meat wafted across the grasslands in waves.
Finally, just as the three moons were about to disappear, the people of the Youqi tribe packed up their things and hurriedly returned to the camp to take a short nap.
The next morning, despite having barely slept the night before, the women still got up on time to start a fire and begin cooking the meat broth.
The elderly and soldiers were already packing their things, preparing to leave for the cliff after finishing their meal.
After eating and drinking his fill last night, the Flame Eagle King lay sprawled on the haystack, fast asleep. Chen Ke frowned and stared at it for a long time, unable to understand why an eagle would sleep on its back.
