Tiezhu said as he worked, "Brother Feng, these branches are still wet. It will take some effort to light them!"
After thinking about it, Lin Feng turned around and took out a jar of soybean oil from the carriage. This thing was prepared for him by Manager Chen. Everyone had eaten some dry food along the way, and he didn't expect to use it here.
Lin Feng poured soybean oil on the branches and asked people to make a pile of torches with old clothes.
Lin Feng distributed torches to everyone: "Wolves are afraid of fire. Let's stay alert tonight and hold our positions well. Tomorrow we will be able to reach our next stop."
As night fell, the bonfire burned brightly, and the firelight illuminated the frightened wolves.
Li Yan looked down the hill and saw more than ten wolves wandering around. They whimpered towards where Li Yan and her group were, like the horns of a charge.
Lin Feng surrounded Li Yan and Zhou Xun in the crowd, and arranged for others to stand on the periphery holding torches and swords and making constant deterrent gestures. The wolves were frightened and began to move restlessly, and did not rush up the hill.
Seeing this, Lin Feng encouraged everyone: "This beast is very smart. It knows it can't get any benefits from us. Don't be afraid, stay vigilant!"
Throughout the night, Lin Feng and his companions remained vigilant, observing their surroundings closely. As dawn broke, the wolves' threat temporarily subsided. Following their wild instincts, they left the hills and returned to the jungle, where they continued to watch closely at Lin Feng and his companions.
Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the wolves gradually retreat. He knew this was only temporary peace, and they had to keep moving forward and find a safe village as soon as possible.
Looking at the retreating wolves, Yang Dalang asked doubtfully, "Did these beasts just give up like that?"
Lin Feng shook his head. "These creatures are very smart and patient. They won't give up chasing us just like that. They probably didn't attack us last night because the snow just closed the mountain, so they haven't been unable to find food yet. Everyone, hurry up and pack your bags. We have to find our next place to stay tonight."
Upon hearing this, everyone's slightly relaxed mood immediately tensed up again. They quickly packed up their things, installed the sled, and carefully walked to the foot of the hill.
The mountains here stretch for hundreds of kilometers, with no end in sight. Lin Feng and others had no time to rest and drove their mules on to continue their rapid journey.
The wolves on the side were still following Lin Feng and his group. Today they were even bolder and no longer hid in the jungle. Instead, they followed Lin Feng and his group not far away, staring at them with a fierce look.
Li Yan looked out from the carriage and couldn't help but take a breath. After counting carefully, she found that there were twenty-three.
They had been traveling non-stop since daybreak, and the mule's pace gradually slowed down.
The wolves seemed to notice their fatigue and chased them relentlessly. The mule sensed the danger from the wolves due to animal instinct and became restless and no longer under the control of Lin Feng and others.
When the wolves had aimed their sights, the leader of the pack let out a long howl, and several tall gray wolves rushed towards the convoy of Lin Feng and others.
Lin Feng shouted, "Everyone, pick up your weapons and kill all these beasts!"
Everyone surrounded Li Yan's carriage. Two of the wolves rushed up and bit the mule's fragile neck directly. The mule felt pain and kicked the wolves behind it far away.
The other one bit the mule's neck. The mule struggled desperately, but the gray wolf refused to let go. Large streams of blood flowed down the mule's neck. The wolves became even more crazy after smelling the blood. Two more gray wolves rushed up and bit the mule.
After a while, the strong mule fell in a pool of blood.
