"It's alright, don't be afraid. The Taoist priest and Xiao Chuan are both quite skilled, they'll definitely be fine. Besides, there are so many dogs at home to help!" Grandpa Zhao comforted her, worried that Xu Han might be too frightened and something else might happen.
However, Grandpa Zhao also knew very well that Xu Han wasn't the kind of person who couldn't handle anything, but these were special times after all! So he decided to offer some words of comfort.
After Lu Chuan blocked the window, he led Xu Han and Grandpa Zhao to the entrance of the main room.
"Xiao Chuan, once the door opens, quickly take the girl and your Grandpa Zhao and run towards the cellar. After you've delivered them there, come find me inside," the Taoist priest said.
"Should we ask Grandpa Zhao to stay and help out too? I can stay in the cellar by myself," Xu Han asked.
"With your lousy skills, Grandpa Zhao, you'd be better off feeding the wolves. Alright, you two can just stay inside and relax! Besides, there are so many dogs around!"
After the Taoist priest finished speaking, he observed the situation outside. In the pitch-black night, he saw many pairs of green eyes forming a circle on a hillside not far away, as if they were about to rush over at any moment.
The Taoist priest carefully opened the door and went out first, while Lu Chuan helped Xu Han quickly walk towards the storeroom.
Grandpa Zhao followed closely behind, while the Taoist priest closed the door behind him and then led the dogs into the yard.
Lu Chuan quickly opened the cellar entrance, and after Grandpa Zhao helped Xu Han down into the cellar, Lu Chuan quickly half-closed the entrance, leaving a small gap so that they wouldn't lack oxygen if they stayed in the cellar for too long.
After Xu Han and Grandpa Zhao entered the cellar, they turned on the flashlight they had brought with them, and the pitch-black cellar was instantly illuminated.
Grandpa Zhao found a place to sit and said to Xu Han, "Xiao Han, come sit down and rest for a while! They won't be finished anytime soon."
Xu Han hesitated for a moment, but still chose to sit down.
"Do you have any pine nuts? Take some out. We can crack some pine nuts while we wait for them," Grandpa Zhao said to them in a very relaxed manner.
Upon hearing this, Xu Han took out the pine nuts and also a water bottle.
"You eat too! Don't mind them, this little scene isn't even worth the Taoist priest's time to handle!"
"It's not right for us to eat here while they're out hunting wolves!" Xu Han said a little embarrassed.
"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with you. Nothing will happen at all," Grandpa Zhao said to Xu Han while cracking pine nuts.
Seeing Grandpa Zhao's expression, Xu Han seemed to realize that the problem wasn't serious, and gradually relaxed. After waiting for a while, she got a little bored and started eating pine nuts.
As for Lu Chuan, after covering the cellar entrance, he left the warehouse and closed the warehouse door behind him.
The Taoist priest in the courtyard had already prepared his bow and arrows and was ready to fire!
The wolves outside were still hesitant, circling the yard back and forth.
For a moment, the barking of dogs inside the yard mingled with the howling of wolves outside, creating a particularly eerie sound.
Upon seeing Lu Chuan emerge, the Taoist priest immediately fired an arrow, launching the first attack.
With a whoosh, a wolf fell to the ground, and the wolf pack became lively. After a wolf howl, the other wolves immediately began to run over.
Upon seeing this, Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest immediately began shooting at the wolf pack. After several rounds, they clearly felt that the number of wolves had decreased.
However, many more wolves are still starting to run this way.
Some wolf packs were blocked by bamboo spikes outside the yard, while others were wounded by arrows.
The scene was chaotic for a moment, but because the courtyard wall was high, the wolves outside could not get in. At the same time, the courtyard wall also blocked the two men's line of sight for shooting arrows.
The Taoist priest grabbed Lu Chuan and carried him to the top of the house. The two of them stood on the roof and continued to attack the wolf pack.
Finally, seeing that his companions were dwindling, the wolf king let out a howl, and all the other wolves instantly ran towards him.
Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest certainly couldn't let them all escape, because wolves are particularly vengeful animals. If they didn't hunt them down this time, they might be bitten to death by them in the mountains one day.
Seeing this, the two quickly came down from the roof. After Lu Chuan opened the courtyard gate, the dogs, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't wait to rush out. It was finally their turn to make their move.
The Taoist priest quickly closed the courtyard gate, and then the two of them began to chase after the wolf in the direction it had fled.
Because visibility wasn't great at night, but fortunately these were all places familiar to the Taoist priest and Lu Chuan, and with the help of the dogs, tracking them wasn't too difficult.
However, when tracking, you have to be extremely fast, otherwise it will be troublesome to catch up once the wolves have run deep into the mountains.
As they chased after him, the Taoist priest and Lu Chuan got separated, but luckily they had the dogs with them.
After chasing for a while, only Black Wind remained by Lu Chuan's side, while the other dogs went off to chase other wolves.
Three wolves were fleeing into the deep mountains ahead. Lu Chuan was outnumbered by the wolves, but after thinking it over, he gave chase.
We absolutely cannot let them escape. If the wolves turn back, it will either be for revenge or to repay a debt of gratitude. We killed so many of their companions today; given the nature of wolves, they will definitely find a way to retaliate.
I felt that I couldn't let this happen. Rather than living in fear later, I should just wipe them out now and leave no way out.
After Lu Chuan caught up, he quickly aimed at the wolf and shot an arrow. When the wolf saw that it was only Lu Chuan and Hei Feng, it stopped running. It may have realized that it could not escape, so it prepared to fight the human and the hunting dog.
Seeing this, Lu Chuan launched the first attack, with Hei Feng assisting him from the side.
It's possible that one of these three wolves is the alpha wolf, while the other two are clearly much more powerful than the others.
After a chaotic fight, Lu Chuan was accidentally scratched by a wolf, and Hei Feng also suffered a minor injury.
Just as Lu Chuan was about to make another move, he heard a dog barking and a Taoist priest's voice from behind.
"Xiao Chuan, answer the sound if you hear it." Because it was dark and the trees were blocking the view, the Taoist priest couldn't see where the person was.
“I’m here,” Lu Chuan shouted back.
Then she continued, "There's a wolf king here, and the other two are also quite powerful."
