Chapter 770 Wild Wolf
Deep in the forest and snowfields, there is an area where ferocious large beasts such as wild boars, wild wolves, and wild bears live. Usually, hunters in groups of three or five would not dare to set foot in it easily.
A few days ago, Zhao Yunjian and a dozen other hunters ventured into the depths of the forest and snowfields, hunted some wild animals, picked a few "Earth Fairy Ginseng" plants, and then hurriedly retreated. Fortunately, they did not encounter any large wild animals such as wild game. , otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no casualties.
This time, in order to help Fang Bai search for "Earth Immortal Ginseng", Zhao Yunjian once again led more than a dozen hunters from Zhaojia Village into the virgin forest, and he was more prepared than last time.
Zhao Yunjian believed that even if they encountered large beasts in the virgin forest this time, they would have nothing to fear.
That night, Fang Bai and others chose to rest in a small valley.
They cleared a few feet of open space in the valley and built a big fire. Then some people built tents around the fire, and some people put the pheasants they had brought in and roasted them on the fire.
After a while, several tents were set up, and the pheasants were roasted on the fire. Everyone ate the delicious chicken, drank the small wine they brought with them, and talked loudly, and the atmosphere was warm.
After eating and drinking, everyone took turns going to the tent to rest.
The tent was covered with thick cotton pads, warm quilts, and a fire. You didn't feel cold at all when you slept in it.
In the middle of the night, Fang Bai, Zhao Yunjian and his son, as well as two other hunters, were responsible for keeping vigil. The five of them gathered around the fire to keep warm and chat, while keeping an eye on the surroundings to prevent wild beasts from attacking during the night.
At night, the full moon hangs high in the sky, and the moonlight shines on the white snow, making the late night like daylight, and the distant scenery can be seen clearly.
Ouch——
In the middle of the night, a howl suddenly came out. When Zhao Yunjian, his father and his son, and the two hunters who were warming up by the fire heard the howl, their expressions changed. They stood up suddenly, held the shotgun in their hands tightly, and looked towards the place where the howl came from. Look.
Dozens of glowing green eyes appeared on the north side of the valley following the howling sound, moving slowly towards the fire.
"Wolves! It's a pack of wild wolves! Guoqiang, get everyone up! Liuzi, add some wood to the fire to make it burn brighter!"
Although Zhao Yunjian was shocked, he shouted at his son Zhao Guoqiang and another hunter.
In the forest, sea and snowfield, the chance of encountering a pack of wolves is very small, but if you do, it will be a life-or-death disaster.
Zhao Yunjian is an experienced old hunter. He has encountered wolves before, but he has narrowly escaped. However, the number of wolves encountered this time is the largest ever. If he does not handle it properly, The dozen or so hunters he brought may all die here.
The flames of the fire rose high, deterring the wild wolves from getting too close.
Zhao Guoqiang also got into several tents and woke up the sleeping hunters.
When they heard that a pack of wild wolves had appeared, the hunters who were woken up immediately lost their sleepiness. They quickly picked up defensive weapons such as shotguns and crossbows, occupied favorable terrain, and confronted the slowly approaching wolves.
The hunters were extremely nervous and prepared for battle, but Fang Bai looked relaxed and at ease. He stood up, walked to Zhao Guoqiang, and asked, "Is the wild wolf worth anything?"
Zhao Guoqiang was startled, and then said: "Wild wolf skins are very valuable! At the morning market in the market town a few days ago, several hunters from a neighboring village got a pair of wild wolf skins from nowhere, and they took away 20,000 yuan! "
Fang Bai nodded, raised his eyes and looked forward, and said: "There are about twenty wild wolves on the opposite side. If we kill them all, you can go back and sell the wolf skins, and you will get about 400,000."
Zhao Guoqiang smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Fang is joking... There are so many wild wolves. We will be thankful if we are not killed by them! Wild wolves have tough skin and rugged flesh and powerful attacks. They are one of the most difficult beasts to deal with in the forest and snow fields. In recent years, , several people in our Zhaojia Village were killed by wild wolves!"
Zhao Yunjian turned to his son and said: "Guoqiang, if the wild wolf attacks later, remember to protect Mr. Fang! If something happens to Mr. Fang, I can't spare you!"
"knew!"
Zhao Guoqiang replied.
In the eyes of Zhao Yunjian and his son, Fang Bai is ignorant and fearless. He doesn't know how scary the wild wolf is. It would be good if he doesn't tremble with fear when the wild wolf attacks.
What Zhao Yunjian and others didn't expect was that instead of hiding behind Zhao Guoqiang, Fang Bai walked out from behind the big rock where they were hiding and walked toward the wolves on the opposite side.
Fang Bai walked so fast that Zhao Yunjian and others only felt their eyes blur, and Fang Bai had already appeared twenty or thirty meters away.
At this moment, the wild wolves were only about a hundred meters away from Fang Bai. With just one charge, Fang Bai could be submerged in the wolves.
When Zhao Yunjian saw Fang Bai actually facing the wolves, he couldn't help being frightened and anxious, and shouted: "Guoqiang, pull back quickly! Everyone, prepare your shotguns and be careful to cover Mr. Fang and Guoqiang!"
Zhao Guoqiang didn't think much. After hearing his father's words, he immediately dropped the shotgun in his hand and ran after Fang Bai. While chasing, he shouted: "Mr. Fang, it's dangerous, come back quickly!"
Fang Bai turned his head and glanced at Zhao Guoqiang. After he caught up with him, he said with a smile: "Do you want a wolf skin? If so, come with me to kill wild wolves!"
Seeing that Fang Bai was still joking at this time, Zhao Guoqiang almost stomped his feet anxiously. He grabbed one of Fang Bai's arms with both hands and tried to pull him back, but Fang Bai's feet seemed to be stuck in his feet and he couldn't pull him at all.
"Haha, come with me! Watch me help you kill the wild wolf!"
Fang Bai laughed loudly, grabbed Zhao Guoqiang's arm with his backhand, and led him forward.
Zhao Guoqiang couldn't help himself, and was carried by Fang Bai. He felt the sound of wind in his ears. When he stopped, he looked around, almost rolled his eyes, and fainted on the spot.
The place where he and Fang Bai were standing was actually the closest wild wolf among the wolves, only a few meters away from them.
"It's over!"
Seeing the pairs of blinking green eyes around him, Zhao Guoqiang wailed in his heart, feeling that he was dead this time.
Zhao Yunjian and others who were confronting the wolves saw their eyes blurred when Fang Bai and Zhao Guoqiang appeared among the wolves. They were stunned. After reacting, everyone's eyes were red.
As hunters, Zhao Yunjian and others knew how terrifying the wild wolves were. Even the tiger, the king of beasts, might die if they encountered them, let alone Fang Bai and Zhao Guoqiang.
Some hunters, holding shotguns, wanted to rush over to disperse the wolves and rescue Fang Bai and Zhao Guoqiang, but were stopped by Zhao Yunjian.
Zhao Yunjian knew that even if all of them rushed over at this time and killed a few wild wolves with their shotguns, it would not help. On the contrary, it might arouse the ferocity of the wild wolves, and I am afraid that more people would die by then. .
