As they approached the air-raid shelter, Gu Nanxun took out five wild boars and five sheep from his spatial storage. The two of them dragged them back into the shelter together. In fact, Gu Nanxun could have dragged these small animals back by himself, but in order not to scare others, he and Zhao Qiu dragged them back together in the end.
The air-raid shelter was quiet. The two teams had not yet returned. Gu Lanxun and Zhao Qiu placed their prey in the shelter and did not intend to go out again. The two started a fire to prepare something to eat, but just as the campfire was lit, they heard urgent whistles and dense gunfire.
Gu Nanxun hurriedly headed toward the direction of the whistle, with Zhao Qiu following closely behind.
When they arrived, they found Zhao Dong and Zhao Feng's team surrounded by a pack of wolves. Zhao Yu and Zhao Lei's team was also on their way to provide support.
Gu Nanxun quickly directed everyone to form a circle. Gu Nanxun, along with Zhao Qiu, Zhao Dong, Zhao Feng, Zhao Yu, Zhao Lei, and Zhao Dian, formed the outer circle, while the rest of the group were protected inside. Lei Ting and Shan Dian also stayed outside the circle.
Gu Nanxun fired at the wolves alongside the others, while simultaneously using his mental power to disrupt their approach. He also aimed to kill any wolves already being torn apart by lightning.
After a fierce battle, all the wolves were finally killed. A few wolves that tried to escape were also eliminated by Gu Nanxun using his mental power and stored in his spatial storage. Wolves are very vengeful animals, and Gu Nanxun didn't want to let one or two escape and have them lead their packs back for revenge. It wouldn't matter if they ran into him, but it would be bad if they accidentally encountered another pack or went down the mountain.
After seeing that the wolf pack had been killed, Gu Nanxun turned around and checked the team. Only Lin Yunfeng and Wang Haoran hadn't reacted at first and had been scratched on the arm by the wolves, suffering minor injuries. Everyone else was fine.
Gu Nanxun checked Leiting and Shandian again. Both of them were covered in blood. Gu Nanxun carefully examined them and, seeing that they were not injured, he was relieved.
"Everyone, hurry up and clean up the scene, let's get out of here," Gu Nanxun said, his eyes twitching as he looked at the fifty-odd wolves on the ground.
"How are we going to take all these wolves back?" Liu Guoqing looked at the wolf carcasses on the ground, jumping up and down with excitement, while also scratching his head in worry.
As Gu Nanxun tied the wolves together with rope, he said, "You guys drag as many as you can, I'll take care of the rest."
"In the end, Liu Guoqing and Zhao Youcai each dragged one wolf, Wang Haoran dragged two, Chen Bin dragged three, and even the injured Lin Yunfeng dragged three. The remaining six people each dragged four wolves, and the last 22 wolves were tied together by Gu Nanxun and dragged together as they headed towards the air-raid shelter."
Everyone stared wide-eyed at Gu Nanxun, who was walking in front.
Lin Yunfeng rubbed his eyes and said incredulously, "This is my brother-in-law?"
Wang Haoran rubbed his eyes and said incredulously, "This is my fourth brother?"
Liu Guoqing and Zhao Youcai exchanged a glance. "Is this Brother Gu?"
Chen Bin didn't speak, but his eyes gleamed with excitement.
Meanwhile, the six people—Autumn, Winter, Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning—silently watched Gu Nanxun walking ahead, then looked at their own arms, their eyes sparkling with excitement.
"What are you all looking at? Hurry up and leave! Leave one person behind to clean up the bloodstains." Gu Nanxun looked at the stunned crowd and couldn't help but turn around and shout. He didn't want to recruit people like this, but he had no choice at the moment. He couldn't just abandon these prey!
After hearing Gu Nanxun's shout, everyone came to their senses and quickly followed Gu Nanxun to the air-raid shelter. Zhao Qiu and Zhao Dong stayed behind, cleaned up the bloodstains, and then left as well.
After returning to the cave, Gu Nanxun sprinkled some medicinal powder at the entrance. This powder was bought by Gu Nanxun from Bai Yuntian in the martial arts world, who said that it could mask the smell of blood.
With so many corpses in the cave, if no action is taken and the stench of blood spreads, they'll probably be surrounded and slaughtered by the animals in the mountains today.
"Brother Gu, we can't stay here. We have to leave tonight." Zhao Qiu glanced at the prey in the cave and looked at Gu Nanxun with a serious expression.
“Yeah, Brother Gu, with so much prey, the smell of blood is too strong. It might attract other prey.” Liu Guoqing, having recovered from his earlier excitement, looked at the prey in the cave with a worried expression.
Gu Nanxun grabbed a handful of snow, rubbed the blood off his hands, and went back into the cave. He warmed his hands over the fire. "Don't worry, I just sprinkled some powder at the cave entrance. This powder can mask the smell of blood inside the cave."
"Everyone, sit down and think about it. Should we rush back tonight, or rest for the night and set off tomorrow morning?"
"Can this powder really mask the smell of blood?" Liu Guoqing asked doubtfully, as he had never heard of such a powder before.
The others also looked at Gu Nanxun with questioning expressions.
Gu Nanxun saw Lin Yunfeng take out medicine from his basket and hand it to Zhao Feng and Zhao Yu, asking them to help treat Lin Yunfeng and Wang Haoran's wounds.
"Don't worry! The powder works very well, I've tested it." Actually, Gu Nanxun hadn't tried the powder. He usually stored his prey directly in his spatial storage when hunting, so he didn't have time to test the powder. Moreover, he had almost forgotten about the powder since it was in his spatial storage, and he only remembered it just now.
"If the medicine powder works, I suggest everyone rest for the night and go back tomorrow. After all, it's very dangerous to walk in the mountains at night, especially with so many animals in tow."
After listening to Gu Nanxun's words, Zhao Qiu thought for a moment and then said that he believed the young master would not easily fool them or joke with their lives. Besides, with the young master around, he was not afraid.
Gu Nanxun nodded. "What are your opinions?"
Zhao Dong and the others nodded in agreement. "We also agree to go back tomorrow."
The remaining group exchanged glances and finally nodded. "Alright, let's go back tomorrow then!"
"What will we do with all this prey? How are we going to carry it back?"
Liu Guoqing glanced at the prey in the cave and continued to ask. By this time, he had already seen the wild boar and sheep that Gu Nanxun had brought back. He felt both happy and worried.
Gu Nanxun patted Liu Guoqing on the shoulder, "It's perfect that we don't need to go out this afternoon. Let's make some rafts, put the game on them tomorrow, and drag them back."
Then everyone started a fire and cooked two pots of fragrant instant noodles, which they then devoured completely, leaving nothing behind for Gu Nanxun and Lin Yunfeng.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they began building a raft under Gu Nanxun's direction. Gu Nanxun also instructed them to place four rolling logs under the raft as wheels to reduce the burden.
With everyone's efforts, they made a total of 6 rafts. Gu Nanxun gave each of them a raft, making a total of 6 teams.
After everything was ready, everyone drifted off into a sweet dream.
