Chapter 46
"Fuck! Is the whole clan out? Grandma, brothers, sisters, nephews..."
"Quick, quick, count how many there are! Oh my God, are they here for revenge?"
"Well, now if the director team drags a cow over, can they feed them?"
"What did the cow do wrong?"
Pairs of eyes glowing green walked out of the darkness, with low whimpers coming from their throats and ferocious and brutal eyes. Their thick tails swung behind them, their eyes emitted a dark green fierce light, and their fangs were bared and whimpers were made.
“Ouch!”
The leader wolf howled softly, and the pack quickly dispersed, their limbs treading in the mud and water, making splashing sounds. In just a moment, they formed an encirclement, with the wooden frame at the center, and the prey inside was as easy as taking something out of a bag.
The live broadcast room was almost suffocating. The wolves had surrounded them, but Chu Huaiqin and the little monk seemed to be still sleeping without opening their eyes. Where was their previous vigilance?
"What happened to Chu Huaiqin? Is he sound asleep?"
"That's impossible. They must have known there would be a wolf attack tonight before they built this frame. Otherwise, they would have been setting up the shed beforehand. It's impossible that they would spend time building the wooden frame just before the competition."
"I think so too, but is Chu Huaiqin asleep now?"
People in the live broadcast room speculated that Chu Huaiqin closed his eyes and didn't want to open them. It was not that he didn't know the wolf was coming, but he was very sleepy, just like when he was a child in the summer afternoon. When the breeze blew, he was extremely sleepy and wanted to sleep for a few more minutes, even a few seconds.
"Brother, I'm sleepy." The little monk woke up and threw himself into Chu Huaiqin's arms with his eyes closed. "Brother, can I fight with all my strength? They disturbed my sleep."
"No." Chu Huaiqin opened his eyes and patted the little monk's head. Wolves were protected animals. The two that had been tranquilized would eventually return to the pack. Now that they were surrounded by wolves, they could only scare them away and not kill them unless they truly endangered their lives.
“Ouch!”
The wolf seemed to have noticed that Chu Huaiqin and the others had woken up, and it stretched its neck and howled loudly. The sound penetrated the rainforest, attracting other wolves to follow suit and howl. The sound echoed in the dark night, making people shudder.
Xia En and Su Huaichen were startled awake. They exchanged a look of bewilderment and quickly emerged from the tent. It was dark, save for the faint glow of a drone perched on a branch opposite the tent. A nearby photographer and several staff members also rushed out of their tents, frantically scanning the surroundings.
"Is it a pack of wolves?" Su Huaichen pulled Xia En nervously, and the hairs on his back stood up in fear.
"It's very likely," Xia Entang said solemnly. He walked towards the camera crew and brought out the director. "Ask them over there if something happened."
"You shoot your own film, it will be solved over there." The deputy director pulled Xia En's hand away and adjusted his collar. He was really tall!
Xia Entang didn't say anything. He put his hands in his pockets, frowned, and seemed to be thinking about something. He suddenly turned around and ran back. Everyone was wondering what he was doing. Xia Entang quickly climbed up the tree, grabbed the drone, jumped down, turned on the lights, and ran up the mountain.
Sub-director team: ...
Live broadcast audience: ...
“Why are drones always the ones that get hurt?”
The wolves were slowly tightening their circle, and for some reason, they weren't surrounding the director crew nearby, but were instead targeting Chu Huaiqin. Chu Huaiqin thought it was probably because he had glared at the leader of the wolves today.
"Brother, what should we do?" Lin Zhinan woke up, clutching the little monk's hand tightly, shaking uncontrollably. She had read wilderness survival guides and knew that the best way to repel wild animals was with fire. But it was still drizzling, and even though the charcoal on their wooden rack was still burning, they couldn't throw the fire to scare them away.
"Don't be afraid," Chu Huaiqin comforted, and then asked Lin Zhinan, "Do you have a rubber band?"
"Yes." Although Lin Zhinan didn't know what Chu Huaiqin wanted to do with this thing, she had a lot of it and had stored a bag of it in her backpack.
Lin Zhinan's rubber band was long, perfect for what Chu Huaiqin was about to do. He tied a rubber band to a Y-shaped branch and pulled it, finding it quite resilient. The young monk's eyes lit up, and he too went to pick a branch to make a slingshot, but Chu Huaiqin stopped him and told him to cut a finger-sized branch into small pieces for him.
Little Monk: ...
After finishing the first one, Chu Huaiqin started to make the second one. He looked so leisurely that he didn't look like he was being besieged by wolves. Instead, it looked like he was doing handicrafts in the small yard in front of his home because he was bored.
"Chu Huaiqin is poisonous!"
"Is Chu Huaiqin planning to use a slingshot to repel the wolves? I counted and there are twelve wolves. Can he do it with just three people?"
"What a joke, Chu Huaiqin, this, this, ahhh, call the director team."
"No, there are so many wolves here. If that idiot Xia Entropy comes, he should be here in about an hour."
Viewers who have been staying on A1 live broadcast: ...
Many people immediately cut away and saw Xia Entang running up the mountain holding the drone, with the director team chasing after him. The one who had the hardest time was the cameraman, as the drone was held in Xia Entang's hand, so they had to rely on the two photographers to shoot.
"Hopefully, Xia Entropy has dealt with it by the time he comes up, otherwise he'll be walking into a wolf's den."
Someone in the livestream sighed. Turning back to A1's livestream, they discovered the number of viewers was increasing at a terrifying rate. Many people were saying, "We were planning to come watch the finals tomorrow, but the news of Chu Huaiqin being surrounded by wolves became a trending topic, so we came to check in."
Live broadcast room 'original residents': ...
"It's amazing. There are so many wolves. Chu Huaiqin must have angered them."
"Maybe he wants to take the man back and use him as his heir."
"I just saw someone say that Chu Huaiqin glared at the Wolf King today, maybe it was love at first sight."
'Indigenous residents' in the live broadcast room: Enough, what are you here for?
The young monk was not slow in carving the wood. He pressed the dagger on the branch and turned it in a circle. With one press, a wooden block as big as a little finger came out. When Chu Huaiqin finished the third one, the wolf was only six or seven meters away from the wooden frame.
Before, because of Chu Huaiqin's leisurely attitude, no one felt the atmosphere was solemn. But after Chu Huaiqin finished his work and raised his head, everyone felt that his aura changed instantly. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, which looked faint, but it made people's forehead shiver, and they felt that this person was not easy to mess with.
Chu Huaiqin handed the other two slingshots to Lin Zhinan and Xiaoshang, "You two play, whoever comes over first gets to shoot."
"Brother, what about you?" The little monk was stunned, his eyes widening. "Brother, you are not going to jump into the wolf pack, are you?"
Chu Huaiqin: ...
"No," Chu Huaiqin spat out. The Y-shaped slingshot had rubber bands on either side, and a small piece of canvas in the middle connecting the two rubber bands. This area, which served as the "magazine" for the "bullets," should have been made of leather, but conditions didn't allow it, so canvas was a workaround.
Chu Huaiqin took out a one-centimeter-long wooden block and placed it in the "magazine". He stood up and half-knelt on the ground, stretched out one hand straight, pulled the other hand back, and aimed.
The slender figure was half-kneeling under the wooden frame. The man in tight clothes was holding the slingshot in his hand as if he was holding an AK47, with an amazing momentum.
"My dear brother, with this posture, if you don't know him, you would think he has gone to the battlefield."
"There are twelve wolves now, so he's on the battlefield. But he'll only anger the pack."
As soon as he said this in the live broadcast room, Chu Huaiqin let go of the bow, and the wooden block flew quickly into the darkness under the tension of the rubber band...
“Ouch!”
A wolf standing at the farthest point suddenly howled, and everyone looked and saw it was the wolf king.
“Ouch!”
I don’t know if it was Chu Huaiqin’s shot that angered it, but after a long howl, the other wolves began to surround the wooden frame. Chu Huaiqin shot out another wooden block at lightning speed, hitting the wolf king again.
“Ouch!”
The wolf king looked at Chu Huaiqin coldly with angry eyes, pressed down his front legs, and ran over quickly. The other wolves also started to run wildly when they saw it. The little monk and Lin Zhinan picked up their slingshots and fired at the same time. The former was accurate every time he fired. The little monk would hit whichever wolf came out first. Lin Zhinan had no aim and fired randomly, but he also hit a few bullets.
The wolf king ran among the wolves. Chu Huaiqin raised his hand and fired another bullet, hitting the wolf king in the forehead. The small wooden block wouldn't be fatal, but it would hurt!
The wolves were getting closer and closer. Chu Huaiqin hit the wolf king on the forehead again, causing it to howl in pain again. However, it could not retreat because its tribesmen were running. In order to avoid Chu Huaiqin's bullets, it began to jump left and right forward.
Live broadcast room: ...
"I've been professionally trained and generally don't laugh at people, including animals, unless I can't help it."
"Well, I want to ask, if I want to laugh, should I laugh directly or wait in line to laugh?"
"No, I can't help it. Hahaha, does this wolf king think he is a Husky?"
No matter how fast the three people ran, they could not outrun the wolves. After a while, they arrived not far from the wooden frame. The people and the wolves were only two meters apart. Only then did they seem to realize that it was a bit difficult for them to jump onto the wooden frame. The wolf king had been hit several times by Chu Huaiqin and now he lowered his body and hid among the wolves.
The man and the wolf seemed to be in a standoff.
“Ouch!”
Lin Zhinan didn't feel the atmosphere. She was having fun. She was shooting wildly with her slingshot, one shot after another, devastating the wolf pack. The wolves trembled in pain and kept retreating. The little monk also found it fun. He threw a wooden block one after another. The wolves came closer and it was easier to control them.
The wolves that surrounded him and didn't know how to attack were whipped one by one, and they howled in pain until one of them howled again.
Chu Huaiqin was looking for the Wolf King. He touched the small wooden block and found it was almost gone. He said, "Little monk, they can't get up for now. You continue to cut the wooden block."
Little Monk: ...
"Chu Huaiqin is amazing. He thought of this right from the beginning when he was setting up the shed. How on earth did he guess that a wolf would come looking for him tonight? Was it because of that glance he gave during the day?"
The live broadcast room sighed inwardly. The wolves couldn't find a point to attack, and began to pace anxiously. Some began to move to the side, which was the director team's tent.
However, most of the wolves were still here. Chu Huaiqin spotted the wolf king with his sharp eyes and swooped over again. The wolf king, who was hiding in the pack, howled in pain and jumped out. He bent his hind legs slightly, pressed down with his front paws, and showed his sharp fangs to Chu Huaiqin. He growled softly at Chu Huaiqin, his cold eyes filled with cruel murderous intent. "Swoosh!"
“Ouch!”
Chu Huaiqin had no mercy on the wolf king and fired at it. It jumped to the left, and Chu Huaiqin hit it to the left. It jumped to the right, and Chu Huaiqin hit it to the right, making it howl.
“That’s the benefit of occupying a high point.”
"Alas, I was really worried about Chu Huaiqin before."
"They are in love and hate with each other, haha!"
The live broadcast room didn't expect to see such a good show. Everyone was laughing. For a moment, Chu Huaiqin prevented the wolves from attacking the wooden rack, but the wolves refused to leave. The humans and wolves officially entered a stalemate, and Xia Entropy broke in at this time.
