Early the next morning, everyone was woken up by the cold. It had been snowing heavily for three consecutive days, and today the weather finally cleared up.
Lin Feng and others no longer hesitated. They tied the cargo to the sled and pulled the sled with a rope to prepare to go down the mountain.
Lin Feng and Monkey walked in front, searching for the safest path. The others divided the work and followed behind the mule cart, controlling the sled. Everyone worked in perfect harmony, striving to move forward.
They gradually got used to the rhythm of pushing the sled, which slid across the snow, gradually taking them further away from the original cave.
Near the cave, everyone saw wolf footprints on the snow. Guo Dalang exclaimed, "These beasts must have discovered our tracks and have been lingering near the cave!"
Lin Feng had a serious expression. He knew what kind of danger this meant. The wolves were no better than wild beasts. They were very united and patient when hunting!
Looking at the numerous footprints on the snow, Lin Feng was afraid that there were quite a few wolves. He frowned and ordered, "It's not safe here. Let's go!"
The group carefully came to the foot of the mountain. The horses and mules had had enough rest in the cave these days. Although the snow was thick at this time, the horses and mules pulled the goods with the help of the sled, and the group's speed did not slow down.
The mules were pulling the sleds quickly across the snow. Li Yan was sitting in the carriage, gazing at the nearby mountains. She saw several gray figures walking through the woods, following her convoy.
Li Yan exclaimed in surprise and said to Lin Feng, who was driving the car outside, "Uncle, look, are there wolves in the woods? They're following us!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng looked towards the jungle beside him. At a glance, he saw three huge gray-black figures staring at his convoy with a fierce look.
The wolves were very patient. They kept following Lin Feng and his group, intending to wait until night before taking action!
Lin Feng said to everyone, "Everyone stay alert, speed up, and find the next village!"
However, the mules, which had been driven for most of the day, were already showing signs of fatigue and were gradually slowing down.
This wasn't going to work, so Lin Feng called a halt to the team: "Let the animals rest for a while, feed them some grass and water, and then we'll get going again!"
After receiving the order, everyone started to get busy. At this time, the wolves in the forest also stopped chasing. They stared at Lin Feng and his group with murderous eyes, as if waiting for the right opportunity to attack.
After a short rest, the team set off again, with the wolves following closely behind them and never giving up.
Lin Feng felt a surge of helplessness and anxiety. The wolves' relentless pursuit made him realize that speeding up wouldn't stop their ambitions. These beasts' patience couldn't be underestimated. He knew that simply rushing and taking short breaks wouldn't be enough to escape the wolves' pursuit.
After a moment's deliberation, Lin Feng decided to change his strategy. He called out to the group, "Everyone, listen to me. We can't let the wolves keep holding us back any longer. We're afraid we won't be able to reach the inhabited village tonight. We need to find a good spot to defend ourselves, using fire and the terrain to counter them."
It gets dark very quickly in winter. By the time Lin Feng and his group found a steep hill, it was already dark.
Lin Feng immediately led the team there and hurried away.
Everyone worked together to pull the mule cart up the hill. The terrain here was dangerous and they were standing on a high ground, so it would take some effort for the wolves to come up and attack them.
Lin Feng immediately directed everyone to build protection with accumulated snow, surround the car with boards and sleds, and asked everyone to chop down a pile of branches in case of emergency.
