Chapter 17: The Wolf Comes Again
After the wailing of death, the entire Windward Ridge fell silent for a moment.
Even the wind that had been blowing no longer seemed to be drifting away.
There was only the smell of blood in the air.
And the next moment, the sharp and sad wolf howl was higher and higher, and the other was closer.
Bai Lu could almost feel the ground shaking slightly, and a large flock of birds in the forest startled, and they fluttered their wings in a panic and flew over everyone's heads, and many gray feathers floated down.
It's the wolves coming.
Han Xiaoguang, who had been watching the play from behind, put his hand to his mouth and blew a whistle, and the whistle was long and long.
With the whistle, more birds were startled, and large swaths swept over Bai Lu's head, blocking out most of the sunlight.
One after another, masked men in strong suits rushed out of the forest, some with swords on their backs, some with knives, some with bare hands, and some were gnawing on wild fruits.
Among these people, some of them looked young, and some of them were obviously middle-aged, and they had different postures, but they all knelt down in front of Li Qingnian after they appeared.
"There are thirty wolves in total, and their habits and abilities have been roughly understood, and they are still ready for a fight." A person who looked at the older man spoke, his voice was slightly vicissitudes, but his eyes were very bright.
"Do your best." Li Qingnian nodded, consciously handed the short knife in his hand to this person, and forcibly pulled Bai Haisheng back.
He didn't have any kung fu, he just dared to step forward to kill the wolf, and he also relied on his enthusiasm, and he was just a wolf, so he wasn't so afraid.
But now it's a pack of wolves.
The further he leaned up, the guards had to be distracted to protect him, and it was difficult for them to kill the wolves with all their might.
As for Bai Haisheng, he was just afraid that the things in his dream would come true, so he took him away, lest Bai Haisheng was injured and Bai Lu was really bitten to death by a wolf while stopping the bleeding for him.
For some reason, he panicked when he thought of Bai Lu's empty eyes in his dream.
Thinking about it, Li Qingnian glanced at Bai Lu again, who consciously retreated to the back and stood with the Bai brothers when the guards appeared.
The wolves came quickly.
The guards rushed forward before they could fully take a stand, and the blood and tragic death of their companions made their attacks even more powerful, especially the wolves that rushed to the front, not much shorter than humans.
When it stood up and waved its claws, the sense of oppression and fear shook the hearts of the guards who had gone through so much.
But the guards are highly trained and know how to work as a team.
One resisted, the other took the opportunity to attack the wolf's vital point, and several stood on the treetops and fired arrows, hitting the wolf's eyes and neck.
Therefore, although the wolves are brave and not afraid of death, they may bite some people with their sharp teeth and mouths, but they are still gradually defeated.
Bai Lu has been paying close attention to this human-wolf battle, and has remembered the system task, asking her to hunt five male wolves, only one is counted, and she has to get four.
She has already confirmed with the system, it doesn't have to be her own hands to kill, but there must be her contribution, so that it can be hunted.
So Bai Lu has been eager to try, wanting to go up and attack a little.
She couldn't tell the male wolf from the female wolf, but as long as she rubbed a few more, she could always rub enough.
After all, there are thirty wolves here.
But Bai Cong and Bai Ke were pulling her one by one, especially Bai Ke, holding her hand was still trembling, feeling her struggle, not only did not let go, but also pulled tighter.
"You've scared us to death just now, don't rush up any more." Bai Cong said, glancing at the bloody ground in fear, and immediately withdrew his eyes.
Scared him to death, he killed a chicken at most, where had he seen this battle.
Bai Ke didn't speak, but expressed his approval of his brother's words with his actions, and the hand holding Bai Lu's arm was even harder.
Bai Lu is angry and funny, the two brothers usually have their own thoughts, but this will really protect her in their own way.
"Don't worry, I won't be reckless anymore, I just want to help my father." Bai Lu raised his chin and looked at Bai Haisheng, who had already rushed up to slash the wolf with the guards.
"Daddy would be upset if he found us cowering here." Bai Lu added, taking advantage of the two of them being afraid of Bai Haisheng.
"I also brought some kitchen knives, you can take them, just cut them while the wolf is not paying attention, even if you don't dare to cut them, it's good to take them for self-defense." Bai Lu noticed the loosening of the two and followed the temptation.
"You're right, we can't disgrace Dad. These people brought by Li Xiucai will laugh at us. Bai Cong finally made up his mind and let go of Bai Lu.
"But, I'm scared." Bai Ke hugged Bai Lu's arm tightly, and there was a cry in his voice.
There were so many wolves, such big wolves, he would have nightmares when he looked at them, let alone cut them with a knife.
"Are you afraid of your father or of wolves?" Bai Lu's soul asked.
Bai Ke trembled again, and finally reluctantly let go of Bai Lu.
He shuddered at the thought of his father's angry face.
Bai Lu comforted again: "I'm really afraid, you just follow me to protect me, and you don't need to cut down the wolf." ”
Bai Ke hesitated for a long time before he passed the hurdle in his heart, nodded slightly, and felt very embarrassed, his face was red and white for a while with shame and fear.
Bai Lu calmed the two people, turned around and pulled out two kitchen knives from the convenience store in the board car on the side, one of them gave one, and took them to rush to the front to rub the injury.
I didn't think that as soon as I took a few steps, my sleeve was pulled up.
"Where are you going?" Li Qingnian's sound of cold water hitting the stone sounded, and he felt that his mask had been shattered into slag in front of this girl.
Does this man just not know how to protect himself?
The girls still like to run to dangerous places.
"I'm going to help." Bai Lu was naturally authentic, and she really felt a little inexplicable about Li Qingnian's move.
Li Qingnian looked at Bai Lu's serious eyes, and the sunlight shone on her face, shining the tiny fluff on her face warmly, making people want to pinch it.
But the next moment, Bai Lu's empty pupils in the dream appeared in front of his eyes again, completely covering Bai Lu's vivid eyes now.
"Not allowed." Li Qingnian grabbed Bai Lu's sleeve and didn't let go.
He couldn't tell what kind of psychology he was in now.
It's just a dream.
Why is he so scared.
Perhaps, it's because I'm too kind.
It must be like this.
Li Qingnian thought secretly, and strengthened his heart not to let Bai Lu take risks.
But Bai Lu saw that the battle over there was almost over, how could he have time to ink with Li Qingnian again, and tried hard to pull back his sleeves, but he couldn't pull them out.
She looked at Li Qingnian's sudden firm eyes, gritted her teeth ruthlessly, and picked up the kitchen knife and grabbed her sleeve and cut it at Li Qingnian.
