Chapter 448: Human Flesh Bait

Just when Zhao Yuan racked his brains to think of a way, he found that an atmosphere of panic was permeating the porter, and in the distance. Some of the bosses gathered together and muttered, as if discussing something.

The atmosphere of the entire caravan became extremely tense, and almost every porter's eyes were fixed on the group of bosses.

In the air, there is a smell of danger.

It was a hot and restless day, and at sunset, the caravan stopped early to rest. This time, the caravan found a place on slightly higher ground and set up camp, and spent a lot of effort to build a defensive line, which was obviously much stronger than yesterday.

This time, the preparations were quite sufficient, and on the way to the trek, a lot of camel dung and some weeds and dead branches were collected, and after setting up camp, countless bonfires were lit, and the bonfires took on a huge circle in the desert.

However, these materials are unlikely to burn overnight, and the large wolves are not afraid of campfires, and they will go around the fire to attack camels and humans.

In the chat, Zhao Yuan understood the horror of the desert wolf pack.

Many people think that climbing trees can avoid wolves, but in fact, it is useless to climb trees, even if they encounter wolves in a desert oasis, experienced businessmen will never climb trees to avoid wolves.

If it is a wolf, it is still feasible to climb a tree, however, a group of wolves, it is useless to climb a tree, and a thick tree can be bitten by wolves in a few minutes.

It is also impossible to get rid of the wolves by speed.

People can't outrun wolves no matter what, and wolves often rely on endurance to exhaust their prey when they chase their prey.

When encountering a pack of wolves, the wolves are not afraid of fire, which is different from a single wolf. They would be three or four meters away, stop, observe, and then bypass the fire and attack people.

The most important thing is that wolves are extremely seizing the opportunity, and even can grasp the psychology of humans, when the vigilance of humans is lowered, they will continue to harass humans, so that human beings are on the verge of collapse both physically and mentally.

It is said that the desert wolves in the Orr Desert know some simple tactics and know how to dodge human bows and arrows.

In fact, it is not practical to use a bow and crossbow against a large pack of wolves, because the distance is long, and some porters carry extremely limited weapons, and they are all small crossbows and crossbows, and the range is not far.

In addition, although some porters and bosses are equipped with crossbows, they are not professionally trained in military affairs, and it is difficult to shoot desert wolves at a slight distance, and the hit rate is extremely low......

......

Zhao Yuan believed that if a caravan of 300 people worked together to deal with more than 200 wolves, it would almost have an absolute chance of winning.

However, Zhao Yuan ignored people's hearts.

There is no doubt that this is a rabble, and if this rabble were to deal with horse thieves or bandits, they might still work together, but in the face of the ferocious wolves, the merchants had no intention of fighting the wolves at all.

When the owner of Zhao Yuan's horse team returned to the camp, all the porters gathered around.

"How?" asked a porter.

"It has been decided, and tomorrow morning the caravan will be divided into five groups and will move in five directions, and we will ...... We ......" The chubby boss had a gloomy face.

"How are we?" asked the porters in unison.

"We were alone. ”

"Ah......" More than a dozen porters rioted, and all of them had panicked expressions on their faces.

"I'm sorry everyone. The boss looked down and didn't dare to look the porters in the eyes.

"What the hell is going on? Why do you want to be separated? Isn't it safer to be together?" Zhao Yuan looked puzzled and asked a series of questions.

"Xiao Zhao, it's like this......"

Everyone told Zhao Yuan the reason.

It turns out that in the Ur Desert, there is an unwritten rule that if a large desert wolf pack is encountered, the caravan will disperse into several groups.

The reason for this practice is simple, it is to gamble on luck to see who is targeted by the wolves.

Of course, when it comes to betting on luck, in fact, it is not so simple, because, when acting separately, some businessmen with deep pockets and strong strength will often go together, while some businessmen with weak strength will often be excluded.

Desert wolves are very intelligent, and they usually keep track of caravans that are not very strong.

If desert wolves are selfish animals, then humans are essentially the same, and it is common for them to abandon their own kind in order to preserve their strength.

Zhao Yuan's caravan has become a human bait.

Zhao Yuan's caravan had a total of eleven people.

Eleven men, three crossbows, and six scimitars, each with a dagger.

It would undoubtedly be a pipe dream for such a small caravan and its rudimentary weapons to deal with more than two hundred wolves.

The other four caravans, with an average number of eighty people, were capable of fighting even if they were followed by wolves, with their sophisticated weapons.

Of the five caravans, four will be unscathed.

It was a torturous night, and a group of porters tossed and turned, and had no intention of sleeping.

The moonlight was generously sprinkled on the desert, and under the towering sand dunes in the distance, there were huge shadows, as if countless giant beasts were lurking in the desert, making people feel inexplicable palpitations.

The dead branches and dung were gradually burned out, the campfire was getting dimmer, and the wolves were moving.

In order not to let humans rest, the wolves began to circle around the fire, and from time to time they went deep into the fire, and humans had to be on the lookout for attacks all the time, and occasionally the screams of desert wolves were shot and drifted in the night sky, which was terrifying.

Just when a group of porters were in a panic, suddenly, the handsome young man walked up to the chubby boss, whispered a few words and left.

When the handsome young man had left, the boss was overjoyed and told everyone that the handsome man would go with them.

This news seemed to give everyone a shot in the arm, and they were suddenly elated.

There are more people, there will be more hope of survival, and that group of heroic Orian women all have longbows, and at a glance they know that Lu Dao is good at riding and shooting.

Only Zhao Yuan was unhappy.

Whenever he saw the handsome young man's eyes looking at him, he felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

If he had left alone with a group of porters, he could have taken out the wolves on his own, and it would not have been easy to reveal his identity, and now, the form seems to have changed.

The weapons carried by the handsome young man were extremely sophisticated, and the horses they rode were all good horses worth a thousand gold, and, judging from their dress and bearing, they were rich and noble people, and traveling with them would easily expose their identities and affect Zhao Yuan's follow-up.

What to do?

After thinking about it, Zhao Yuan couldn't think of a way to deal with it, so he had to take one step at a time.

Finally, it was dawn.

On that night, six wolves were shot.

In fact, none of the six wolves were killed, only wounded, but the wolves were so hungry that when they smelled blood, they rushed up and split the bodies of the wounded wolves.

Hungry wolves are the most terrifying of all, because as long as they have their eyes on their prey, they will never die......

......

After a brief breakfast, the caravan began to split up.

The handsome young man really spoke his word, and really followed behind Zhao Yuan's caravan.

There were sixteen handsome young men, two of whom were men, and fourteen beautiful girls.

Now, the total number of this horse team has reached twenty-seven.

Twenty-seven people.

Obviously, relying on twenty-seven people to fight against more than two hundred ferocious desert wolves is a bit mysterious.

The fat boss wanted the other caravans to lure the wolves away, and dragged his feet behind the most luster.

"Childe, it's hot weather, why don't you ride a horse?"

The handsome young man nodded to a girl, and immediately, the girl jumped off the horse cleanly, led the horse in front of Zhao Yuan, and looked at Zhao Yuan with a smile on her face.
