Wild dogs are animals that are afraid of light. Faced with a flame that suddenly ignites, several wild dogs retreated instantly.
"Awooo!"
The scent on us seemed to have a special attraction for these stray dogs, subtly helping them overcome their instinct to fear fire.
Besides the wild dogs pacing back and forth in front of the fire, the surrounding wild dogs were also constantly probing and trying to attack.
It seems that human flesh is far more attractive to these wild dogs than wild animals.
The standoff lasted for more than ten seconds before a stray dog lost its patience and charged towards the crowd.
As I saw the stray dog approaching, before I could even make a move, a member of the Wei family pounced on it, grabbed its neck, and pinned it to the ground.
Seeing that the stray dog had been subdued, I followed up by swinging my arm and stabbing it into its chest cavity.
"Awoo!"
Seeing that we were being held back, the other stray dogs seized the opportunity and charged towards the crowd.
Get out of the way!
When Song Laosan saw that I and the Wei family members were surrounded by wild dogs, he used his knife to pick up several burning pieces of clothing and threw them toward us.
An acrylic windbreaker landed squarely on a stray dog, instantly igniting its fur.
"Awooo!"
The wild dog was instantly engulfed in flames, howled in pain, and ran towards its companions behind it.
The stray dog's actions threw the other stray dogs into disarray, but instead of fleeing, they charged at us.
I saw a stray dog open its mouth and bite my leg. I bent down, grabbed the fur on the back of its neck, and stabbed it into its body.
Before I could even pull out the knife, another stray dog had already bitten my arm.
The sharp pain of the canine teeth piercing my skin caused my arm to spasm. I tried to pull my arm out of the dog's mouth, but instead, I felt an even more intense pain.
"Big brother, don't move!"
When Manjing saw me being bitten by a wild dog, he took a huge machete and slashed at the dog's neck.
"Pfft!"
Blood splattered everywhere; the wild dog's neck had been severed, with only a small piece of skin still attached to its body.
As the dog's head sank, several bloody cuts were slashed across my arm.
The lingering smell of blood further fueled the wild dogs' bloodlust. I watched as one of them leaped over the fire and charged at me. Unable to fight back with any weapons, I gripped my fists, ready to risk my life.
Thump!
Gunshots rang out, and the stray dog that lunged at me was hit by a bullet and flew two meters away instantly.
Old Xiong shot and killed the stray dog, then yelled at me, "Go to the back and rescue the people!"
I heard Old Bear shouting, and that's when I realized that Sister Hua and the others at the back of the group were being attacked.
At this moment, Xiao Zhou was already rolling around with a stray dog, and Xu Le was also lying on the ground. One stray dog was tearing at her leg, while the other was on top of her, trying to bite her neck.
Although we had previously advised everyone to protect their necks when fighting these stray dogs, being bitten by a dog feels even more painful than being stabbed with a knife.
During the struggle, Xu Le was bitten on the wrist by a stray dog, and instinctively pulled his arm away to the side.
"Waaah!"
Seizing the opportunity, the wild dog let out a deep growl from its throat and lunged at Xu Le's neck with its gaping maw.
Seeing this, I don't know where I got the strength, but I ran up and grabbed the stray dog's mouth, then picked up the knife from the ground and stabbed it upwards along its chin.
"Pfft!"
The blade pierced the dog's body, and the wild dog collapsed to the ground, convulsing violently.
I killed the wild dog with one blow, then took the pull-cord flare from my waist and pulled off the fuse.
"laugh!"
A second later, flames several centimeters long shot out from the flare, like lightsabers from Star Wars.
I held the flare that was gradually heating up and shoved it at the stray dog that was biting Xu Le's leg, burning it so much that it howled and jumped away.
"Awooo—"
Just as I was about to continue rescuing Xiao Zhou, I heard barking again from the surrounding bushes, as another group of stray dogs had been attracted by the smell of blood.
When I saw the second group of stray dogs appear here, my scalp tingled instantly.
These dozen or so wild dogs were already enough to give us a hard time, but we managed to hold them off with the help of the flames.
But the pack of stray dogs that has arrived now is far more numerous than the previous one.
Most importantly, the campfires we lit are almost out. Once they go out, we'll probably all be bitten to death here by these bloodthirsty beasts.
Before the second wave of stray dogs could rush up, I kicked the stray dog that was attacking Xiao Zhou away and shouted, "Uncle Xiong, there are more and more stray dogs here, think of a way to get out!"
Uncle Xiong fired another shot and shouted, "These wild dogs can't climb trees, run up the trees!"
"Whoosh!"
Hearing Uncle Xiong's shout, everyone started running towards the nearest trees, but our area was a poplar forest with straight trunks that had no branches and were often more than ten meters tall, so there was nowhere to put their feet.
When Manjing saw my injured arm, he kicked away a stray dog, ran to my side, half-squatted under a tree, and patted his shoulder: "Big brother, hurry up!"
"Save them first!"
I saw that Sister Hua was still not recovered from the paralysis, so I picked up a rope and swung it to a lower branch: "Hang Sister Hua up first, and you go pull the rope!"
"Hey!"
Manjing gave a muffled reply and quickly ran to the other side.
While Manjing was searching for a spot, I tied the rope into two knots and put them around Hua Jie's arms. Just as I was about to ask Manjing to pull the rope, a force suddenly came from behind and pushed me down.
"Young Master Duan! Watch out!"
When the monkey saw me being tackled by the wild dogs, it ran towards me, but it was quickly caught by two wild dogs as well.
I was knocked to the ground by a stray dog. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw another stray dog lunge at Sister Hua. I grabbed a rock and threw it at it: "Manjing, pull the rope!"
As soon as I finished speaking, Sister Hua's body was pulled up by Manjing and suspended in mid-air.
"Woo-hoo!"
The stray dogs that had been charging at Sister Hua lost their target and began to roar angrily as they charged at me.
Before I could even extricate myself from the attack by that stray dog, I was instantly surrounded by four or five stray dogs.
I fell to the ground, my vision filled with the figures of wild dogs and their frantic barking. All I could do was wave my knife wildly and kick my legs to prevent them from biting my limbs and rendering me unable to fight.
Even so, I still felt a tearing pain all over my body.
At that moment, anger and fear intertwined within me.
Since my debut, I've been through a lot and experienced all sorts of dangers.
I never imagined that I would be caught off guard and about to lose my life to a pack of wild dogs.
