Chapter 22: Prey

The next day, I cut down trees.

After lunch, Lu Chao went into the woods again to check on the two hunting clips he had placed.

The first trap ...... Empty, nothing.

Lu Chao went to the second trap to check.

The second trap has a catch!

An adult wolf with one leg between them was neighing.

Two men were surrounding the trap and were beating the adult wolf with sticks in their hands!

The trap arranged by Lu Chao caught an adult wild wolf, but it was discovered by these two men, who obviously wanted to take the prey that Lu Chao had caught.

One of the two men looked to be twenty-four or five-year-old, and the other was in his mid-twenties. The wolf could not break free after being caught in the leg and could only let them beat, and under the excitement of the two of them, the wild wolf trapped by the hunt soon died.

Lu Chao cautiously approached and crouched down, the branches and leaves tied to his body allowed him to hide well among the bushes around him.

After taking a closer look, Lu Chao found that he knew these two people.

It was two members of a gang of five who killed the father and son and stole two boxes of instant noodles from each other.

They are obviously not good people, but the good deal is to kill each other with more people and ransack each other's homes.

Without the constraints of the law, driven by primitive desires, man will become more ferocious than a wild beast.

After a few more blows from the two men, the wild wolf trapped in the trap completely lost its breath.

"Great! You can have a full meal of wolf meat tonight! ”

"I haven't eaten meat for a few days, I'm hungry!"

"If you have meat to eat, you can let the rhubarb go for the time being."

"Grill it, right? This hind leg is mine, and no one can rob me! ”

The two men's eyes lit up and they let out a long burst of cheers.

Lu Chao frowned.

This wild wolf was his mission item, and it was the trophy that he had spent money on hunting clips and spent time and effort searching for the wolf's tracks, but the two men wanted to take it directly.

If the mission is not completed, the chainsaw worth 3,000 gold coins rewarded by the mission will not be obtained.

A complete wolf corpse, wolf skin, wolf meat, wolf bones, etc., are also worth a lot of gold coins, right?

Lu Chao knew that these people, like their father and daughter, had been 'kidnapped' into this forest by a mysterious force, and they should have only come here in the past few days. These people didn't find the supermarket and would definitely be plagued by food shortages, which is why they were so interested in this wild wolf.

What now?

Tell them that the trap is his, and that he caught this wolf?

Doing so will inevitably lead to contradictions, and if there is a head-on conflict, Lu Chao doesn't think he can easily win. Although he is much stronger now than before, he is not very good at this kind of thing like fighting.

Once it is revealed in front of these people that he and Yaya are also in the woods, you can imagine what the consequences will be.

Or......

Taking advantage of their unpreparedness, quietly shot them with an umbrella crossbow?

Anyway, they are not good people, and there is no need to have any psychological burden to kill them.

But could their companions be nearby?

"Wang! Woof! ”

Just as Lu Chao was thinking about making the first move, there was a noise behind him, and then a very fierce dog barking suddenly sounded not far behind him.

Lu Chao's branches and leaves camouflage can hide his body, but it can't hide the dog's sense of smell.

Lu Chao looked back and saw that it was the Tibetan mastiff with yellow hair rushing over, standing three or four meters away and barking at him.

Fortunately, I didn't do it just now, otherwise I would have been caught by the praying mantis and the yellow finch.

The big yellow dog was followed by an eighteen or nineteen-year-old man, holding a dog leash in his hand, and after following over, he looked at Lu Chao who was covered with branches and leaves with a very strange expression.

"Aha...... Are there any other living people here? Among the two men who were dealing with the wild wolf, the older one also came over and looked at Lu Chao.

Then another man came over.

The trio, plus a Tibetan mastiff, seemed to be a different group than they had previously discussed.

This also means...... The five of them were not grouped, and two other accomplices were ambushed nearby and did not show up.

Judging from the previous practices of these people, they are cruel and very cunning, and they are not very easy to deal with.

Now the three of them and one dog are surrounded by Lu Chao in two directions, and the situation is very dangerous.

"There are wolves in the woods, and I laid the traps." Lu Chao stood up and pointed to the corpse of the wild wolf, and said to the older man, who seemed to be the leader of the group.

The umbrella crossbow in his hand was already loaded with arrows, ready to shoot at any time.

But if he shoots one of them, he will be immediately beaten by the other two people and a dog.

Although Lu Chao had been trained many times before, the loading time of this umbrella crossbow took more than ten seconds at the earliest.

Once his umbrella crossbow reveals its power, they won't give him a chance to kill a second person.

That fierce Tibetan mastiff should not be weaker than a wild wolf. It had eaten human flesh, and Lu Chao believed that as long as the eighteen- or nine-year-old man let go of the leash in his hand, the Tibetan mastiff would come and tear him apart without hesitation.

Therefore, Lu Chao's umbrella crossbow, the primary target of attack now is not the three people, but the Tibetan mastiff.

"Oh? But the wolf was caught by us, we killed it, and it doesn't seem to have much to do with you. The leader replied to Lu Chao with a faint smile on his face.

This person looked good-looking, but Lu Chao knew that it was just a disguise.

The big yellow dog continued to bark at Lu Chao, as if he was demonstrating.

Seeing that Lu Chao was threatened by the big yellow dog, there was a slight fear on his face, and the three of them looked slightly proud.

"Can you give me the wolfskin? There are very professional tailors in our camp who want to make animal skin clothes for the members to keep out the cold, and I can exchange things with you. Lu Chao brought it up to the leader.

This group of people did not harm the father and son's lives before they traded with the father and son and saw the traded objects, but only showed their hideous faces when they traded.

It is conceivable that they will not kill Lu Chao immediately after discovering it, and the first thing they think of is to maximize their benefits.

Lu Chao is going to take advantage of this now, find a way to get out first.

Once he is out, he will devise a detailed plan to retrieve the wolf corpses, kill them, and eliminate the threat they pose to him.

This is Plan A.

With Plan A, of course, there will be Plan B.

Plan B is that once they find out that they have an intention to kill him, Lu Chao will take a risk, kill the Tibetan mastiff as soon as possible and then flee by taking the road, and then use the terrain to escape or go around in the woods to defeat them individually.

As a last resort, Lu Chao will not carry out Plan B.

In the new week, please ask for recommended votes to rush to the list, thank you very much!
