Chapter 13: The Tiger Roars in the Mountains
With a howl from the head wolf, the two wolves immediately pounced on Ye Chen. Although Ye Chen was afraid at the moment, fortunately he did not panic, and at the same time that the two wolves pounced on him, he suddenly jumped high and avoided the killing of these two wolves.
Just when Ye Chen was complacent about avoiding the culling, two more wolves pounced on him when he jumped up.
Just as the two wolves were about to bite him in mid-air, he gave them a kick. Leap upwards with your strength.
He had been surrounded by wolves, Ye Chen knew that he couldn't outrun the wolves on the ground, and he was only safe in the trees, out of reach of the wolves.
He leaped very high, his head brushing over the twigs as he continued to rise, and some tiny twigs scratched his face with burning pain. But he couldn't care about it now, and by feeling, he hugged a slightly thicker branch.
The wolves below stared at him deadly, and when they saw that he had not fallen, they all jumped up, but none of the wolves could reach him.
At this time, a branch came at him from a distance. Ye Chen listened to the sound of the branch, and grabbed it before it could shoot itself down.
"Dead old man, I know it's you, why are you hurting me so much? Do you think I've been eaten by wolves?"
Ye Chen shouted loudly at the surroundings, this successive attacks made Ye Chen naturally think of him, except for him, Ye Chen really couldn't think of anyone else who would appear here.
After Ye Chen shouted, there was no movement around him, only the wolves howled in a low voice below him.
"Dead old man, why are you so ruthless that you have brought in the wolf?"
Ye Chen continued to shout, and at the same time tensed his nerves, he knew that the old man was hiding in the shadows, ready to beat him down again at any time.
"Hahaha, yes boy, you can catch the branch I threw with just your ears. ”
In an instant, the old man suddenly appeared in front of Ye Chen, standing on the fork of the branch he was holding.
"You're too ruthless, aren't you? Just because I can't kill people, you're doing this to me? Do you know that I was almost torn alive by a wolf just now?" Ye Chen looked at him and said.
"Are you torn raw? No, I think you're okay? How can this wolf eat you without touching you?"
"It's almost the same way you can eat this way. ”
As soon as the old man stomped his foot, the branch that Ye Chen was holding suddenly broke off. Watching Ye Chen fall at an extremely fast speed, the old man hugged his hands and smiled playfully.
With a "flutter", Ye Chen fell to the ground fiercely. When the wolves saw him landing, they scrambled to pounce on him one by one, trying to catch him first.
After Ye Chen landed on the ground, he held his sword and swung it randomly, but the wolf's speed was too fast, and he failed to stab one, but was torn apart by the wolf's clothes, revealing bloody scars.
The old man wanted to watch the show and watch everything that happened below, and he didn't have the slightest intention of helping Ye Chen.
The wolves are constantly attacking, they cooperate tacitly, the division of labor is clear, some are responsible for feints, and some are responsible for the main attack. It didn't take long for Ye Chen to be exhausted.
Ye Chen kept retreating, but the wolves didn't mean to let him go, every time he took a step back, a wolf rushed up and bit him while he wasn't paying attention.
He didn't expect the old man to help him anymore, his appearance was exactly what the old man wanted to see, so Ye Chen knew that even if he opened his mouth, the old man would still be unmoved.
Ye Chen was in a stalemate with the wolves, and the wolves were afraid of the sword he was holding, so they had to take advantage of the numerical advantage to sneak attack. Although Ye Chen was tired, he didn't dare to relax his vigilance at all.
The roosters in the village crowed one after another, and Ye Chen finally showed a smile after hearing it. The wolves also seemed to know what the rooster crowed and began to stir.
With the low roar of the head wolf, the wolves immediately resumed their offensive posture, and one by one they roared and approached Ye Chen.
The sky was a little white, and the woods were no longer dark, but there was a little visibility.
At this time, Ye Chen could barely see the wolves around him who were hostile to him, and there were more than a dozen wolves surrounding him. Directly in front of him, a slightly larger wolf with its tail standing up and hiding behind the other wolves.
Ye Chen knew that this wolf was the first wolf, and it was it that commanded the wolves to attack him.
He screamed and brandished his sword, trying to scare off the wolves that threatened him. And his real purpose is in the head wolf.
Ye Chen had heard adults say since he was a child that there was a head wolf in the wolf pack who took the lead in commanding. Experienced hunters will be the first to shoot the head wolf, and as soon as the head wolf dies, the other wolves will become a plate of loose sand, and the slightest fear will flee in all directions.
Ye Chen began to take the initiative to scare the wolves that were close to him. Forced by the power of his sword, he would step back a little as soon as he got close to the wolves, and the wolves behind him took the opportunity to take a few steps closer to him.
Ye Chen inadvertently frightened the wolves surrounding him, but the corner of his eyes kept staring at the head wolf.
Finally, he found an opportunity, a wild boar rushed out of the woods at some point, startling the wolves, Ye Chen took advantage of this gap and ran straight to the head wolf, holding his sword and stabbing at it.
The head wolf was too late to react, and was stabbed in the thigh by his sword, and wailed loudly.
As the head wolf wailed, the wolves who were frightened for a moment immediately reacted. A wolf took advantage of Ye Chen's attack again and bit Ye Chen's calf. He let out a loud shout, and suddenly a heart-piercing pain suddenly spread throughout his body.
The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and Ye Chen suffered a lot of external injuries. After the head wolf was stabbed, the wolves tightly surrounded it, not giving Ye Chen a chance to get close to it.
The wild boar that had broken in by mistake had already fled away when he saw the people and the wolves. In the empty woods, only wolves were left to confront Ye Chen. Fortunately, the sky is getting brighter, which is very beneficial to Ye Chen.
The head wolf is tightly surrounded by the wolves, wailing in the center, and when the head wolf is injured, the wolves neither attack nor retreat.
The sky began to brighten, and some of the birds began to chirp. After a commotion in the wolves, after a howl from the head wolf, the wolves escorted it away, and after running away, the head wolf did not forget to turn around and glare at him viciously.
After making sure that the wolves would not turn back again, Ye Chen finally couldn't stay up anymore, and fell to the ground, clutching his chest and gasping for breath.
"Old man, I know you're testing me, and I don't blame you, but can you stop making trouble next time? Why did you knock me down when I stayed in the tree so well?"
"Hehe, if you are not in danger, how can you stimulate your potential, and how can you know your true strength?"
The old man jumped back to the ground lightly, looked at Ye Chen with a smile, and stretched out a hand to him. Ye Chen pouted and reached out to let him pull himself up.
"It's really good to be able to stalemate with a group of wolves for so long, and to seize the opportunity of the mutation to stab the head wolf, the mind is flexible enough, and the courage is big enough. The old man patted him on the back and smiled with satisfaction.
Hearing the old man say this, Ye Chen just gave him a blank look, he was so tired now that he didn't even want to talk to him more.
Ye Chen dragged his tired body out of the woods with the old man and walked towards the village. At this time, the sky was just slightly bright, and most of the people had not gotten up yet, and Ye Chen's family lived at the entrance of the village, so naturally no one saw Ye Chen's embarrassment.
Jiang Yingyue, as always, got up early, and after seeing that Ye Chen was covered in injuries, she just glanced at the old man lightly, and then motioned for Ye Chen to go and rest.
In the evening, Ye Chen got up from the bed, he knew that the old man would still be waiting for him in the woods, even though he was sore, he still took his sword and went to the woods.
Unlike yesterday, Ye Chen saw the old man as soon as he entered the forest. It may be that he knew that Ye Chen was still injured, so the old man did not summon the beast to deal with Ye Chen like yesterday.
In the forest, the old man asked Ye Chen to treat him as an enemy, and he had to train him to use his intuition to distinguish the enemy's location without seeing it.
The old man kept his hands everywhere, afraid that Ye Chen Ye Chen would be injured and injured, he just clicked to the end, and did not seriously injure Ye Chen as before.
I practiced with Ye Chen for two days, and when Ye Chen's trauma was almost recovered. On the third day, Ye Chen went to the woods, but found that the old man was no longer there.
Ye Chen became cautious when he saw that there was no old man in the woods, he knew that this time was the same as the time he encountered the wolves, the old man might not know where to hide, and he was ready to attack him at any time.
After two days of training by the old man, Ye Chen's senses became much sharper, and even if he didn't use his eyes to look, he could detect a trace of change in his surroundings.
He carefully watched the movement around him in the woods, not allowing himself to make a sound.
Just as he approached a tree and was about to turn around, the old man suddenly attacked from behind him, although Ye Chen sensed that something was approaching him, but the old man was too fast, and he carried a wooden stick with a thick wrist and knocked him back several feet away at once.
After Ye Chen stabilized his figure, he launched a counterattack as soon as possible. However, the old man only defended and did not attack, fighting and retreating, this abnormal behavior made Ye Chen feel very surprised.
The old man induced Ye Chen to leave the woods step by step, and Ye Chen also pursued him closely. When he realized that something was wrong, Ye Chen found that he had moved away from the woods and came to the mountains farther away.
After a few rounds of fighting with the old man, the old man played disappearance again, and disappeared into the dense forest in a flash.
Ye Chen had never entered the deep mountains before, so he was naturally extremely cautious. He knew that the old man must have lured him here for a purpose, and it would definitely not be easier than the time he encountered the wolves.
He carefully observed the surrounding terrain in case of emergencies so that he could protect himself in time.
Ye Chen observed for a while, and then the sky darkened, and it was not until he couldn't see anything that Ye Chen found a better place to hide.
Suddenly, there was a roar in the mountains and forests, and Ye Chen was so frightened that his hairs stood on end when he heard it, and he couldn't help but shiver.
