Gunshots rang out one after another, shattering the silence of the night.
Bai Yulong was actually awakened when Li Xiangdong fired the first shot. He quickly dressed, slung his hunting rifle over his shoulder, filled his pockets with bullets, and ran towards Luo Hongkai's house.
He went down the mountain and then up again. The road was not smooth, and tree branches caught on his trouser legs, but it did not affect his steps.
When he arrived, Li Xiangdong had just fired two shots, and the wolf pack stirred slightly, even moving a little closer.
Bai Yulong slowed his pace, held his breath, gripped his hunting rifle, and cautiously lay in ambush behind a large tree to the right rear of the wolf pack.
Because it was pitch black, Luo Hongkai and the others did not notice his arrival.
The two sides remain in a standoff.
The lead wolf occasionally let out a low growl, its two green eyes gleaming with a chilling light as it stared intently at Luo Hongkai and the others.
It looked a little anxious.
Li Xiangdong lit a pine nut torch and threw the wolf-like thing that had fallen into the house in front of Luo Hongkai. "Grandpa, what is this thing?"
Luo Hongkai didn't move, but glanced sideways and said, "Ha! It's a wolf!"
What a mess?
Li Xiangdong then realized that this was the "jackal" in the idiom "colluding with each other in evil"!
With its short front legs, long hind legs, and yellowish fur, the jackal, according to legend, cannot walk independently and can only move by placing its front legs on the back of a wolf. The jackal is also an extremely cunning animal, known as the strategist of the wolf pack.
No wonder they came up with the idea of a sneak attack from behind today; it seems it's all because of this scoundrel!
Li Xiangdong picked up the wolf's corpse and threw it into the open space between the two men. He then handed Luo Hongkai, Luo Yonggang, and He Chaochao each a pine nut torch.
The torches instantly illuminated the courtyard. As soon as the alpha wolf saw the wolf's corpse, it crouched down, tail drooping, and scratched the ground incessantly with its sharp claws, baring its teeth and growling. The deep, angry sound sent chills down the spines of those who heard it.
A crescent moon slowly appeared on the horizon.
Because he had been in the same position for so long, Li Xiangdong felt that his hands and legs were going numb, but he still didn't move and formed a fan-shaped protective formation with the other three people.
Suddenly, the alpha wolf turned around and saw another wolf slowly walk to its level, or even slightly ahead. The other wolves were also changing positions.
Luo Hongkai whispered, "They're about to attack, be careful!"
Everyone was extremely cautious, not daring to miss a single sound from the wolves.
To everyone's surprise, the wolf pack, which had just stirred up a little, began to retreat!
The alpha wolf had retreated behind the wolf that had been there before, and the other wolves were also slowly retreating.
"Are they leaving?"
He Chaochao asked in a low voice.
Luo Yonggang said, "It's hard to say. But it'll be dawn soon, and once people start coming, they won't get away with it!"
As soon as the wolf pack retreats, they can chase after them from behind!
The group felt a little more relaxed; after a night of confrontation, their muscles ached all over.
He Chaochao even yawned.
Right at that moment!
The wolf at the very front streaked across the sky like a shooting star!
It pounced straight at Luo Hongkai, who was in the middle of the four!
Despite his age, Luo Hongkai's marksmanship remained sharp. He raised his Type 56 semi-automatic rifle and fired two shots at the wolf. The others' attention was momentarily drawn to it, and they didn't notice that the wolf pack, which had been slowly retreating, was rushing towards them with lightning speed!
The five wolves were lined up neatly, with the two in front, the two behind, and the alpha wolf at the very back.
They were only thirty meters apart!
Wolves can run at speeds of up to 60 kilometers per hour!
Therefore, in this mere thirty-meter distance, if they attack at full speed, they can take down Li Xiangdong and his group in just two or three seconds!
Moreover, even if Li Xiangdong and his men were fully alert and opened fire when the wolves charged, they would only kill the first two wolves. The remaining three wolves would arrive unharmed and then bite Li Xiangdong and his men to death.
At that moment, they didn't have time to think about all that.
Luo Hong fired a shot and killed the cannon fodder wolf, and the five wolves behind him pounced on him!
A wolf opened its blood-red mouth and lunged at He Chaochao's thigh. It wasn't convenient to use a gun at close range, so he turned the gun around and smashed the wolf's head with the butt of the gun. The wolf was knocked more than two meters away, leaving a mark on the ground!
It quickly pounced on He Chaochao again, which ignited He Chaochao's anger. He simply threw the pesky Wu Liu Ban to the ground and charged at the wolf head-on.
The man and the wolf collided head-on. Before the wolf could even open its mouth to bite his shoulder, He Chaochao grabbed the wolf by the neck with both hands, lifted it up with a force, and then slammed the wolf's body heavily onto the stone slab!
"Snap!"
It was the sound of bones breaking.
The wolf lay limp on the ground, its eyes gradually becoming unfocused.
He Chaochao released his hands, grabbed the wolf's hind legs, and with a twist, swung its body, which was already as thin as a noodle, into the air, making it draw a circle!
"Pfft—"
It was the sound of brain matter bursting open.
This series of actions may seem slow, but it happens within a minute or two.
After dealing with one wolf, He Chaochao's ferocity was fully unleashed!
He wiped the warm liquid splashed on his face, picked up the five or six pieces from the ground, and rushed towards Li Xiangdong again.
Under the wolf pack's all-out attack, the humans were left with no chance to fight back.
After Li Xiangdong and Luo Yonggang fired one bullet, they didn't even have time to fire a second before the wolf pack pounced.
