Chapter 298: Fighting Wolves and Taming Werewolves
Aina was born and raised in Tacheng, so she is quite familiar with wolves.
After she expressed her opinion, she looked up the hillside.
"There are too many wolves today. They don't need to wait until midnight to attack. They will take action in an hour at most."
When numbers have an absolute advantage, there is no need to plan every step.
Qi Yanzhou nodded in agreement. "Miss Ayina's words make sense. I'll make arrangements and be ready for battle at any time."
After he left, Ye Chutang asked Ayi Na.
"Generally speaking, the alpha wolf eats the food first. Is there an alpha wolf among the wolves that are sharing Ye Siyin's meal?"
Ayi Na shook her head uncertainly.
"Probably not."
At this moment, the wolves should be discussing the best way to attack, just like the exile team.
The leaders of each wolf pack should gather in a position where they can be easily observed.
But on the hillside, this is obviously not the location.
After hearing Ayina's explanation, Ye Chutang immediately became alert.
"Does that mean that as long as we find this location, we can take the initiative?"
This sounded reasonable, but Aina shook her head.
"Wolves are extremely intelligent animals. If they notice any unusual movement on our part, they will immediately change their position."
Indeed, as long as the National Protection Army takes action, the Alpha Wolf will find out.
But the alpha wolf can be dealt with without taking any action.
Because she has earth-related abilities!
So, the key now is to find where the alpha wolves gather.
"Ayina, tell me first, where is the wolf leader right now?"
After taking a sip of the noodle dumpling soup, Aina shook her head again.
"I'm not familiar with the terrain here, and I don't know where the leader wolf will hide."
As soon as these words came out, Ye Chutang gave up on taking shortcuts.
After all, this was their first time here and they didn't know what the terrain was like.
"It seems that we can only fight head-on."
As soon as he finished speaking, the howling of wolves was heard.
“Ouch…”
The drawn-out tail note makes the howling sound somewhat sad.
Apparently, the wolves that had touched or eaten Ye Siyin began to die in large numbers.
Aina listened to the howling of the wolves and her face became solemn.
"The wolves are angry, and the attack will be more fierce later."
Ye Chutang was not worried at all.
"I've thought about this result a long time ago. It has both advantages and disadvantages. It's not necessarily a bad thing."
The wolf that died of poisoning must have been from a wolf pack.
This group of wolves happened to be close to the hillside, so they shared Ye Siyin and ate her.
Therefore, only this group of wolves were angry.
Anger can make wolves attack more fiercely and can also disrupt their overall layout.
Aina was somewhat surprised by Ye Chutang's insights and plans.
"I didn't expect that Madam Qi, who grew up in the capital, would know so much about wolves."
She hadn't expected that at all.
Ye Chutang made up a story, "My master has traveled all over the world and has a wide range of knowledge, so I know more than others."
"It's not just a little more, it's a lot more."
When Aina said this, she put down the bowl in her hand and stretched out her arm to indicate the longest distance.
"I've heard a lot of rumors about Madam Qi. She's as brave as any man and a role model for women!"
Ye Chutang was amused by Ayina's cute actions.
"Although this compliment sounds nice, no one knows what I have paid behind the scenes. If I can be a carefree little wife, who would be willing to be a grown woman?"
She doesn't have any big ambitions, she just wants to live a peaceful life.
If she could just lie down, she wouldn't bother to make any effort.
Ayi Na withdrew her arm and stopped smiling.
"That's true. My father always told me that you don't need to be extremely powerful or extremely rich. As long as you can live a healthy and smooth life, that's better than anything else."
She felt that although this made sense, it would be boring to be trapped in the rear house for the rest of her life.
"If being a young wife is the goal, then of course it's better to be a young wife; but if making achievements is the goal, then of course it's better to be an older woman."
As long as you can become whoever you want to be, your choice is the right one.
Ye Chutang naturally would not interfere with Aina's thoughts.
But she reminded: "No matter who you want to be, you must first learn to protect yourself."
She did so many things just to give herself the capital to protect herself.
Ayi Na nodded repeatedly, "Thank you Madam Qi for reminding me, I will try my best."
If the Qi family hadn’t rescued her this time, she would have lost her life!
The world is dangerous, and we must learn to protect ourselves.
After dinner, Qi Jingyao cleaned up the pots and pans.
The National Protection Army now has an extra bucket of water for cooking.
The weather is getting colder, and I need to eat something hot at night to fall asleep.
Qi Yanzhou reserved the safest place for his family and lit an extra bonfire.
Although the fire cannot stop the wolves, it has a certain deterrent effect.
Escorting officers were assigned to protect the Qi family.
The Chen family and Ye Jingchuan were placed in a relatively safe location to protect themselves.
The National Protection Army was on high alert, and the battle was later commanded by Sun Chu.
The cunning wolves are no different from the enemy camp, and tonight is another actual combat command.
As time went by, the temperature got lower and lower, and even when sitting by the campfire, my back felt cold.
As he spoke, one could vaguely see the white air he exhaled.
The torches at the top of the slope where Ye Siyin was had already gone out.
Under the dim moonlight, the pairs of green wolf eyes make people feel uneasy.
The exile team has been surrounded by wolves.
Ye Chutang placed his hands on the ground, feeling the movements of the wolves.
Although it consumes a lot of merit points, it can help you control the movements of the wolf pack in real time.
Around the hour of Xu, the anxious wolves finally moved.
Ye Chutang immediately reminded: "Sun Chu, prepare to fight."
Just as Sun Chu was about to say that the wolves had not made any movement, he saw countless hungry wolves running towards their destination.
“Here it comes!”
This was his first time fighting against a pack of wolves. He felt a little excited and a little nervous.
The Gobi wolf is smaller in size, more agile and faster, and harder to deal with.
In the blink of an eye, the wolves were there.
Although the National Protection Army is highly skilled in martial arts, they are outnumbered by wolves.
Being attacked from both sides, we were at a disadvantage.
Fortunately, Sun Chu was good at deploying troops.
Two people form a group, with their backs facing each other.
Ten groups form a large group and form a circle to make it easier to kill the wolves trapped in the circle.
Although we can't trap many wolves each time, killing one more will reduce the danger.
But this tactic didn't last long before it was discovered by the cunning wolf king.
The howling of wolves echoed through the sky.
It hurts my eardrums.
Ye Chutang knew that it was the wolves giving and responding to orders, but unfortunately she couldn't understand the animal language.
Otherwise it would be easy to find the Wolf King.
The wolves became more and more agile, and fewer and fewer wolves were trapped in the circular formation.
They also formed a formation.
One wolf is used as bait to lure the enemy, while four wolves launch a surprise attack.
There were too many wolves, and they acted quickly, so many soldiers of the National Protection Army were injured.
But Sun Chu was no pushover and immediately changed his formation.
With the assistance of the two brothers of the Qi family, they soon turned the disadvantage into an evenly matched advantage.
Qi Yanzhou noticed that some of the wolves were particularly ferocious and looked like they were determined to fight to the death.
He guessed that it was the group of wolves that had been poisoned to death by Ye Siyin before, so he became cautious and observed carefully.
Then he found the wolf king who was giving orders.
He found the right moment and threw the sword in his hand.
The sharp sword with internal force pierced the wolf king's neck and nailed it to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, there was no sound.
After the death of the wolf king, the wolf pack immediately stopped attacking and let out mournful howls.
This gave the National Protection Army an opportunity to immediately kill the hungry wolf nearby.
The strong smell of blood caused the wolves to become agitated.
The National Protection Army immediately gained the upper hand.
The smell of blood was carried to the place where they were staying by the night wind, making the already tense atmosphere even more stagnant.
Old Madam Qi looked into the distance in the direction where the National Protection Army was fighting a pack of wolves.
But because of the low terrain, she could not see anything.
"This wolf howl is too scary. What happened to Azhou and the others?"
Ye Chutang patted the back of Madam Qi's hand soothingly.
"Mom, don't worry. The National Defense Army is very skilled in martial arts, and Sun Chu..."
She was just about to say that Sun Chu was a descendant of Sun Wu and was best at military strategy, so he would have no problem dealing with the wolves.
But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back immediately.
Because Sun Chu's identity as a star general cannot be made known to others, otherwise if it gets to the ears of the dog emperor, it will cause trouble again.
Madam Qi saw Ye Chutang was halfway through his words and asked in confusion, "What happened to Master Sun?"
"Young Master Sun also understands military tactics, and the National Defense Army has a large number of people, so there will be no problem dealing with the wolves."
The old lady just thought Ye Chutang was just trying to comfort her.
In her eyes, Sun Chu was just a rich and skilled young man.
When it comes to military tactics, he certainly doesn't know as much as the second brother who has been on the battlefield for a long time.
She did not refute Ye Chutang, but smiled and said: "If there are more people who understand the art of war, Ah Zhou will be under less pressure."
Ye Chutang could tell that Madam Qi did not take her words seriously.
This was the result she wanted, so she changed the subject.
"Mom, have you and Dad ever thought about naming my and Azhou's child?"
Talk about something that everyone can participate in and distract everyone.
Of course, Madam Qi had thought about the name of her grandson or granddaughter, but she didn't dare to mention it to Ye Chutang.
After all, my daughter-in-law is very talented in writing, so it would be more appropriate to name the child after her.
"Your father and I are rough guys, so you can discuss the naming with Azhou."
"Mom, I think we need to pool our wisdom on the subject of names so that we can choose a more appropriate one."
"That's true. Your father and I did think of a few names, for both boys and girls. Listen to them."
Ye Chutang successfully diverted everyone's attention and started talking about the child's name.
The place where you stay is full of joy, while the battlefield is filled with swords and sabers.
Fortunately, there was moonlight, otherwise it would have been very disadvantageous for the National Protection Army.
The fight has been going on for half an hour.
Nearly two hundred wolves died, but the wolf king showed no sign of retreating.
This is wrong!
Generally speaking, when the wolf king finds that the wolf pack has suffered heavy casualties, he will immediately stop attacking his prey.
After all, preserving the tribe is much more important than obtaining food.
After Qi Yanzhou realized that something was wrong, he guessed that these wolves were controlled by humans!
He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
He immediately told Qi Shuyan and Sun Chu about what was wrong with the wolf pack.
After saying this, he brought up an incident that happened a few months ago.
"Before, not long after we left the capital, we encountered the Northern Barbarians' secret agents. One of them was able to control wasps to attack people. If it weren't for Atang, we might have been wiped out that day!"
Qi Shuyan immediately understood the meaning of Qi Yanzhou's words.
"A Zhou, are you saying that the northern barbarians are most likely behind this wolf pack?"
There are indeed some extraordinary people in the Northern Barbarian Kingdom who can control birds and beasts.
Moreover, the Northern Barbarians were a grassland country, a nomadic people who mainly made a living by raising cattle, sheep and war horses.
In such an environment, the number of wolves can only increase.
It's not surprising that those beast tamers can control wolves.
The Qi family army had repeatedly defeated the northern barbarians who invaded the border.
They even forced it to become a vassal state and pay tribute to Beichen Kingdom every year.
The northern barbarians and the Qi family have an irreconcilable feud!
When they learned that the Qi family had been confiscated and exiled to Tianshan County, they would certainly seek opportunities for revenge.
The Northern Barbarians didn't have the ability to confront the Qi family head-on, so they mobilized a skilled beast tamer.
Last time it was poisonous hornets, this time it’s a pack of wolves!
Qi Yanzhou looked at the ferocious wolves and nodded.
"I'm going to find the person behind the scenes. You guys just hold on a little longer."
Qi Shuyan grabbed Qi Yanzhou and said, "I'll go, you stay."
He knew very well that the wolf rider was more dangerous than the wolves themselves, and there was a high chance that he would never return.
My younger brother has already married and has a child about to be born, so nothing can happen to him.
How could Qi Yanzhou not know what Qi Shuyan was thinking, so he grabbed his arm.
"Brother, my martial arts skills are better than yours, so I have a greater chance of survival."
Qi Shuyan looked at Qi Yanzhou seriously.
"Azhou, the werewolf master will definitely know that once the wolves keep biting the exile team, we will know that there is a problem.
Combined with the previous hornet incident, we would guess that it was the Northern Barbarians who were controlling the wolf pack and then go looking for the werewolf trainer.
Therefore, the Werewolf is probably waiting for you to find him right now to complete the plan of luring the enemy deep into your territory! ”
There is some truth in this.
But Qi Yanzhou couldn't let Qi Shuyan, whose martial arts skills were inferior to his, take risks just because he was afraid of getting involved.
"Brother, no matter what, I should go."
After saying that, he pushed Qi Shuyan away, left quickly, and went around looking for a werewolf trainer.
While dealing with the hungry wolves, Sun Chu said to Qi Shuyan, "Master Qi, go find Ye Chutang and tell her about the werewolf tamer. She has a way to find the werewolf tamer and save Qi Yanzhou."
Qi Shuyan looked at Sun Chu in shock, "My sister-in-law is in a heavy body, no..."
Before he could finish his objection, he was interrupted by Sun Chu.
"Don't worry, she has 'Ghost Thief' and won't let herself get into trouble."
Hearing the word "ghost thief", Qi Shuyan immediately ran towards his destination.
Ye Chutang heard the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps and immediately stood up and looked.
When they saw Qi Shuyan coming back, they thought the wolves had run away.
She looked pleased and prepared to ask about the details.
“Brother…”
As a result, he was interrupted by Qi Shuyan as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Sister-in-law, these wolves are not ordinary wolves. They are most likely controlled by the northern barbarians behind the scenes."
When Ye Chutang heard this, he immediately thought of the Northern Barbarian spy who had previously controlled the hornets and poisoned the exile team.
"Brother, is it Azhou who wants me to find this person?"
Qi Shuyan shook his head. "No, he has gone to look for the werewolf tamer. I am worried that something might happen to him, so I would like to ask you to ask the 'Ghost Thief' to help him."
After saying this, he looked at Ye Chutang with an apologetic look on his face.
"Sister-in-law, you are in poor health now, but I am still letting you work so hard. I am really sorry."
If he had no other choice, he would never have said this.
No matter how high Qi Yanzhou's martial arts skills are, he is no match for the wolves!
Going to find a werewolf tamer is like gambling with your life!
Ye Chutang waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Brother, don't be so polite. Ah Zhou is my husband, and I won't let anything happen to him."
