Chapter 240: Friend or Foe
For a moment, everyone seemed to be frozen. Su Xiaoting's heart tightened, and she didn't know how these wild dogs would react.
The valley echoed with howls one after another, like whimpering, like mourning, as if communicating some kind of emotion.
The barking ended with the barking of the two wild dogs, and the wild dogs moved again. One-third turned around and outflanked Ji Yuning, and the rest continued to launch a more fierce offensive against everyone.
In the face of wild dogs, which are several times larger than just now, it is obviously impossible to maintain the formation. The guards could only work in groups of several and fight side by side.
"Beware!" The second took the initiative to run over and joined the lineup of the first and Su Xiaoting.
Su Xiaoting's heart was a little calm, she waved a steel knife in her right hand and held a dagger in her left hand.
She didn't want anything to happen to everyone, let alone die here, and under the shroud of death and fear, she felt that the desire to live was so strong for the first time.
When she inserted the dagger into the dog's belly just now, her hands were still shaking a little, and the strange feeling and the smell of blood on her face made her faintly nauseous!
But now, facing the siege of four or five wild dogs at the same time, she didn't even have time to wipe the blood on her face, and she completely relied on instinct to dodge and resist.
However, it was only half an hour, and Su Xiaoting's two arms were already a little out of strength, but fortunately, her five senses were far better than ordinary people, and she narrowly escaped the fangs and claws of the wild dogs.
plus one of the two, helping her share a lot of side attacks, Su Xiaoting gritted her teeth and insisted although she was sweating like rain. In such a situation, once you get injured, you will become very passive and drag down your teammates.
The five wild dogs had already been seriously injured by her, thanks to Ji Yuning's dagger. It is noticeably sharper than a knife, and can pierce even the head and back of a wild dog.
Thinking that if this continued, her physical strength would not be able to fight these wild dogs, and a bold plan popped up in Su Xiaoting's mind.
After becoming familiar with the wild dogs' attack paths, she decisively dropped the steel knife and used a dagger and a flying kick to greet them in a combination of distance and near.
This method worked, and ten minutes later, two more wild dogs were killed.
On the other side, more than twenty of the more than sixty vicious dogs surrounding Ji Yuning have followed in the footsteps of the Dog King. The remaining wild dogs were scared in their eyes, whimpering in their mouths, and surrounded Ji Yuning, but they were afraid and did not dare to step forward.
Ji Yuning's blue clothes were not stained with much blood, except that his hair was a little messy, as if he was just playing with a group of lambs.
The pair of heterochromatic pupils became darker and darker, and they frequently swept in the direction of the camp. The murderous aura rising all over his body made the wild dogs who were close couldn't help but bow their front legs.
After another ten minutes, less than half of the wild dogs on both sides remained.
The wild dogs besieging Ji Yuning had already begun to retreat, and under the leadership of a few deserters, the encirclement collapsed in an instant.
The wild dogs in the camp heard the call of their companions, and when they saw that the general situation was gone, they fled in a hurry with their tails between their legs.
"These miscellaneous pieces, if you can't win, you want to run." One of them chirped.
"I think it's beautiful, and I chase after me if I'm not hurt." The chief guard was red-eyed, and he didn't want to see the wild dogs again, and they came back a few years later.
"Miss An, you can rest for a while, let's go." The second stopped Su Xiaoting.
"I'm fine, and there's no danger now."
The second nodded, a flash of admiration in his eyes. He came to form a team just now, although he had the intention of protecting Su Xiaoting, but more than that, he was worried about the safety of one of them.
In his eyes, Su Xiaoting is very delicate, and she grew up in that kind of environment in the United States, and it is the first time she has encountered this kind of battle, and it is not bad that she is not scared to cry.
Once injured or psychologically broken, let alone fighting side by side, it is estimated that his brother will have to save her regardless of his own safety, and he doesn't want her to follow in his footsteps and be disabled by wild dogs, or even lose his life.
Fortunately, his brother's vision is good, this girl is bold enough, and she also knows how to judge the situation, not only did she not support their hind legs, but she also solved 4 wild dogs alone, which greatly refreshed his senses.
Half an hour later, the dust had settled, and less than 20 of the dogs had fled into the mountains. Everyone helped each other back to the camp, and they didn't even bother to clean up the battlefield. Take off the clothes soaked in blood, simply disinfect and bandage them, and fall asleep.
It wasn't until three poles in the morning that most of them got up to wash and wiped out the half of the wild boar left yesterday.
In last night's fierce battle, Su Xiaoting was lucky, half of the guards were painted, and one person was seriously injured and was sent back to the village early in the morning.
Su Xiaoting was the dry food she ate in the tent. In the morning, when I saw the corpses of dogs in the valley, I realized how tragic the battle was last night!
She couldn't get used to it, but luckily it was them who won, otherwise...... Su Xiaoting didn't dare to think about it.
The thought of 'not wanting to die in the belly of a dog' last night aroused her blood courage for a while, and now that she thinks about it, if she encounters the same number of wild dogs alone, she doesn't know if she still has the courage to resist.
Because the bloody battle at night was too large, and the injured people needed to recuperate, Ji Yuning ordered that no more hunting would be done today, and only let everyone concentrate the dog corpses in the valley in a depression, spread them with pine trees, and set them on fire.
"It's a pity that I can't take those furs back and deal with them. But it is better that there may be no plague and no more evil. One explains it this way.
Only the body of the dog king was transported back, and Su Xiaoting saw that the dog king was huge, with some silver-gray spots on his head, which was a bit like a modern border herd.
At night the valley returned to tranquility, and the sunset gilded the earth with a burgundy glow.
Everyone sat around the fire, looking back on the critical moment of last night, like a dream.
One of them praised Su Xiaoting a lot, and everyone didn't believe it, but when they saw the other one, they rarely opened their mouths, so they were a little impressed by Su Xiaoting.
They don't often follow Ji Yuning's side, and there have been many speculations about Su Xiaoting's appearance, and some people even think that using a woman from the United States as an attendant can bring out the dignity and dignity of the city lord.
Ji Yuning didn't show too many surprises, he never doubted Su Xiaoting's courage, and he didn't regret killing the wolf king first last night, he just regretted it during the melee.
Before he knew her true strength and combat experience, he took her deep into danger.
There were so many advanced weapons in the Bright and Dark Arsenal, but she didn't bring any of them, so she had to train with those guards above level 4.
I thought that I could protect her by her side, but I left her behind when the form was critical and dealt with unknown dangers.
Now that I think about it, I'm still a little afraid.
Thankfully, she didn't let him continue to regret it.
Originally, it was planned to hunt in the mountains for four days, although this time it was considered to have completed the hunting goal ahead of schedule, but since it came, there was naturally no reason to turn back in advance.
It's just that after this incident, Ji Yuning let everyone gather in one place, only searching for fierce beasts in the front mountain.
