The sound of several gunshots fired simultaneously echoed in the empty cave for a long time, making me dizzy.
Four bullets simultaneously struck the brown bear's head, splattering blood all over the wall, and the stench instantly filled my nostrils.
Sasha loaded another bullet, walked over to the brown bear and checked it. Seeing the old wounds on its body, he turned and said, "This is the same bear that attacked us in the river. I didn't expect it to chase us all the way here in revenge!"
The monkey's eyes widened: "No way? It's just a beast, how could it have tracked us down?!"
"Animals are not as intelligent as humans, but they are not without wisdom. Bears are highly intelligent animals with a strong sense of revenge. With their keen sense of smell, tracking us is not difficult for them!"
Sasha confirmed that the brown bear was completely dead and waved his hand repeatedly at us: "We have to leave now. Everyone, get moving quickly. We need to leave here as soon as possible, otherwise the wolves will cause trouble once they smell blood in their territory."
I was truly shocked that this brown bear chased us for dozens of kilometers to seek revenge.
After this incident, everyone had almost blindly believed in Sasha's wilderness survival skills, and when they heard him say he was leaving, everyone acted decisively.
Waking up in the middle of the night is not a pleasant experience. As soon as I left the cave, the cold wind pierced through my clothes. Sasha broke off a blade of grass to check the wind direction and pointed in a direction to indicate where we should go.
I glanced over there and reminded him, "Mr. Sasha, that's the way we came."
Sasha, holding a shotgun, cautiously surveyed their surroundings: "I know, but that's downwind. Only by going back can we minimize the spread of our body odor. Let's find a new shelter first and make further plans when it gets light."
I hadn't said more than a few words when the wind made my stomach hurt, so I shut up and followed Sasha quietly.
The wind howled across the plains, bending the grass low and making our shadows, elongated by the moonlight, look eerie and menacing.
Sasha walked on with his head down, climbed up a hill, and suddenly stopped.
Before the people behind him could ask any questions, Sasha turned around and said something, and Zhou Peng instinctively straightened his chest: "Be on alert!"
The sound of guns being cocked rang out in the crowd. I took a step forward, gripping the knife in my hand, and my pupils contracted sharply.
The night was dark and the starlight was dim.
In the grass opposite the hill, there was a patch of green light flickering like will-o'-the-wisps.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a pack of wolves.
A dozen or so wolves lined up in a row, completely blocking our way.
"Awooo—"
A wolf's howl echoed across the fields.
It was like the wailing of a demon that snatches away souls.
"Awooo—"
The first wolf howl fell like dominoes, quickly triggering a chorus of wolf howls.
Hearing this in the middle of the night is chilling.
Immediately afterwards, led by the alpha wolf, the pack charged toward us one after another.
Watching the charging wolf pack, I roared hysterically, "Wolves are afraid of fire! Light it! Light it now!"
The monkeys were the most efficient. Upon hearing my call, they began searching for dry firewood on the ground. However, it was early spring, and the grass on the ground was wet. Although there were many dry grasses mixed in, without kindling, it was difficult to ignite them quickly.
With lightning speed, Song Laosan ripped off the monkey's backpack, then slashed open the packaging of the alcohol block he was carrying to start a fire, lit it, and threw it away.
"Whoosh!"
The backpack, still glowing with fire, was thrown into the bushes, and the alcohol cubes inside were flung out.
"Crackling and popping!"
Fueled by the wind, the fire spread rapidly, turning vast swathes of dry thatch into a raging inferno.
"Awoo!!"
Wolves are animals that are afraid of fire and light, and upon seeing this, they all retreated.
Several small wolf cubs in the group were frightened by the flames and began to flee to the side, unknowingly entering our firing range.
Upon seeing this, the security guards on the flanks raised their guns without hesitation.
"Crush Treirai!"
Sasha saw the guard's movement, pressed his hand down and shouted, seemingly telling the guard not to fire.
Unfortunately, his words came too late.
Thump!
Gunshots rang out, and a wolf cub that had approached was blown in the head by a slug, losing half of its head.
"Whoa!!"
Outside the fire line, a mother wolf, separated by a sea of flames, saw her cubs lying in the fire and let out a mournful howl.
Sasha cursed and took off running: "Chase the flames, don't let the wolves get close!"
We were upwind, so the thick smoke and high temperature had little effect on us. In order to survive, everyone ignored their exhaustion and started to run away. As soon as I got close to the flames, my down jacket was burned with a hole, revealing the duck down inside.
"Awooo!!"
Suddenly, a deep and mournful howl arose, echoing long and deep on the hillside under the night sky, as if it wanted to tear the darkness apart.
"Awooo—"
As the alpha wolf howled, the dozen or so adult wolves, who had been in a panic, all looked up and howled at the moon, gradually gathering together.
The security guards' act of hunting down the wolf cubs clearly enraged the entire wolf pack. The wolves fought with a burning hatred in their hearts, displaying extraordinary ferocity and brutality.
Amidst the howls, the panicked wolf pack gradually calmed down. The alpha wolf, with a scar on its head and a large physique, faced the flames and began to dig at the ground with its claws.
Seeing the pack of wolves on the other side of the flames, I was truly terrified.
As the saying goes, even a fierce tiger fears a pack of wolves.
If we were to encounter a Siberian tiger, with so many people and guns, we might still have a fighting chance.
But now we are facing a wolf pack three times our size.
It would be impossible to eliminate such a large wolf pack with just four single-shot shotguns.
Seeing that the wolves were no longer avoiding the flames, Sasha raised his hand to signal us to stop: "Prepare for defense!"
Wolves are extremely united and fierce animals, especially when led by the alpha wolf, the fighting power of this pack is astonishing.
Humans have seven emotions and six desires, but angry beasts are not afraid of death, or perhaps their world is simpler than ours.
The bloodthirsty wolf pack is enough to make all the powerful beasts in nature tremble with fear. Under their repeated attacks, no one in this jungle can stand against them.
Sasha, a veteran hunter, understands this much better than we do.
"Hiss!"
The alpha wolf snorted and charged madly into the flames. Its fluffy fur was instantly ignited by the flames, but it remained fearless and brutally pounced on Sasha directly in front of it.
Thump!
Gunshots rang out, and the bullets struck the alpha wolf precisely. The powerful impact knocked it back through the air, sending it crashing into the inferno.
This did not instill fear in the wolves; instead, it fueled their ferocity.
The remaining wolves bypassed the carcass of the alpha wolf and charged toward us, howling.
