Chapter 39: The Wolves Attack
Wolf!
And more than one!
Cao Liang instinctively clenched the hilt of the sword, although he had only seen a captive wolf in the zoo in his previous life, and had never really seen a wild wolf, but it did not prevent Cao Liang from understanding wolves.
The wolf is an extremely ferocious and terrible carnivore, although they are not as famous as the tiger, lion and leopard, but in the wild predation, the wolf is the first-class king, when the wolf haunts the place, the tiger will retreat.
Wolves are a kind of social animals, except for those lone wolves who have been expelled from the territory, most wolves have a fixed territory and family members, when hunting, they will act collectively, generally the number of wolves is about seven, that is, the so-called seven wolves, at most can reach more than thirty.
If there is any animal that is the most cunning and ferocious and tenacious, it must be the wolf, the wolf pack is very team when hunting, good at setting traps, will try to drive the prey into the trap.
When Cao Liang saw the long-dormant wolf faintly shining green in front of him, he immediately knew that he had fallen into the trap of the wolf.
The wolves behind them drove them away with a non-stop howl, and step by step they rushed to the encirclement, could it be that the wolves in Beibi Mountain had stayed near the imperial capital for a long time, and they had also learned the thirty-six tactics of human warfare?
The dormant wolves finally made a move, and they slowly walked out of the shadows of the bushes, forming a semi-encirclement of Cao Liang and Yang Huiyu.
These wolves are huge, and by the moonlight, Cao Liang can see that their fur is oily and smooth, and it is obvious that their food is good, not as thin and skinny as the wolves that Cao Liang has seen before.
It is no wonder that those tomb robbers were so frightened that they fled when they heard the howl of wolves, they must have suffered enough from these wolves, and knew how powerful the wolves were, so they would run away desperately.
Cao Liang has just arrived, how can he know the cunning and routines of these wolves, and it is normal to fall into the trap of the wolves.
Yang Huiyu trembled, although she had not seen a wolf before, but it did not prevent her from hearing about the ferocity of wolves, this night Yang Huiyu was unlucky enough, only to get out of the tiger's mouth, and fell into the wolves, those tomb robbers are even more vicious, they are also humans, and in the face of wolves, thinking that they are going to become rations in the wolf's mouth, Yang Huiyu does not shudder.
The wolves didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack, maybe they were also afraid of the sword in Cao Liang's hand, maybe they were waiting for their companions to arrive, and then they started their feast.
Cao Liang is also a little helpless, in the face of tomb robbers, he can still deceive, can fool, after all, it is a human being, and they have a common language.
And the wolves are different, it is difficult to get rid of the target they are targeting, and even if Cao Liang is skillful, it is useless now, the wolves can't understand people, so naturally they won't be fooled by him.
Against a wolf, maybe Cao Liang still has some hope, but against a group of wolves, no miracle will happen.
After all, the horror of wolves is famous all over the world, and even the tiger, the king of beasts, does not dare to provoke wolves easily.
What to do? It is definitely impossible to fight, and if you can escape, it is almost impossible, after being targeted by this group of wolves, they will chase all the way, and there is no chance of escape at all.
Cao Liang secretly looked at the terrain, this is the bottom of a canyon, although the cliffs on both sides are not too high, but if you want to climb up, it is almost impossible, after all, the wolves are watching here, and they don't give them a chance to escape at all.
However, when Cao Liang saw a small cave not far away, his eyes couldn't help but light up, if they had a chance to escape to that cave, their hopes of survival would be greatly increased.
But that cave was at least a few dozen feet away from their current location, and it was definitely not easy to break through the encirclement of wolves and retreat to that cave at this moment.
Cao Liang whispered to Yang Huiyu: "You see the cave over there, let's find a way to escape, as long as we enter the cave, there is hope." ”
In fact, he didn't need to whisper at all, and the wolves couldn't understand him anyway.
Yang Huiyu also saw the cave, she nodded firmly, at this time, the desire to survive is greater than everything, even if Yang Huiyu is very afraid in her heart now.
She didn't speak, because she didn't have anything to do, the only thing she had to do was listen to Cao Liang's arrangement.
Cao Liang didn't dare to take the initiative to attack the wolves, in that case, he would only die faster, but he thought of a way, that is, to throw stones, anyway, there were stones all over the ground, but I don't know if the stones thrown can be effective.
Throwing rocks is the most effective way to deal with dogs, most dogs have an instinctive fear of flying stones, and using rocks can effectively drive away vicious dogs.
The stone arced through the air, landing precisely at the nearest wolf.
The wolf flashed very nimbly, and the stones passed by without hurting it in the slightest, but the eyes it looked at Cao Liang were even more fierce, and if the wolf had emotions, Cao Liang would definitely think that this emotion was resentful.
However, the wolf only flickered, and did not make any aggressive moves, as if it was still waiting for the head wolf's order, and it would not act rashly until the head wolf gave the order to attack.
Cao Liang's heart moved, secretly thinking that there should be no head wolf among the wolves in front of him, and all the actions of the wolf pack were commanded by the head wolf, if the head wolf did not arrive, these wolves should not take the initiative to attack.
Thinking of this, Cao Liang tentatively moved a few steps to the left, but the wolves followed Cao Liang a few steps closely, and the two sides still maintained their original opposite positions.
It's just that those pairs of wolf eyes are getting brighter and more aggressive.
Cao Liang has a bottom in his heart, it seems that these wolves have not received the attack order from the head wolf, so they will not attack for the time being.
Seizing this opportunity, Cao Liang grabbed Yang Huiyu and slowly moved towards the cave.
When acting, Cao Liang slowed down as much as possible to avoid irritating these wolves, and at the same time, he was concentrating and engrossed, holding the hilt of his sword tightly, watching the wolves' every move.
This distance of dozens of zhang seems to be not far, and it can be reached by raising his legs, but Cao Liang seems to have walked for a long, long time, his palms are full of sweat, and he doesn't dare to relax for a moment.
Seeing it, it was getting closer and closer to the hole.
