Chapter 406: Attacked By A Pack Of Wolves, In Danger
Qin Shu nodded and felt that what he said was true. This place was different from the forest protected by men. It was normal to have wolves.
Otherwise, the old man would not have said that his last mountain trip almost cost him half his life.
Han Xiao suddenly asked, “Are you afraid?”
Qin Shu shook her head. “No, since I chose to come, I have thought of all the dangers I can encounter. It’s just that… there shouldn’t be any tigers here, right?”
At the end of her sentence, her voice weakened. A ferocious tiger was much more difficult to deal with than a wolf.
Han Xiao said, “I don’t know if there are any but I still hope to be able to meet a tiger.”
Qin Shu was puzzled. “A tiger should be more ferocious than a wolf. Why do you hope to meet a Tiger?”
Han Xiao explained, “Tigers usually appear alone. Wolves are different. Wolves appear in packs to hunt for food.”
It was only then that Qin Shu remembered the habits of wolves. Just like what Han Xiao had said, wolves appeared in packs. Every pack of wolves had a leader. Hence, if they meet a wolf, it meant that they would be facing an attack from a pack of wolves.
“In that case, I also hope to meet a tiger. It’s easier for the two of us to deal with one tiger. If It’s a pack of wolves and there are many of them… it’ll be difficult. It’s hard to fight when you’re outnumbered.”
Han Xiao saw Qin Shu crossing her arms. She should be cold. He said, “It’s a little cold outside. Let’s go back to the tent.”
Indeed, Qin Shu felt a little cold. Hearing Han Xiao’s words, she didn’t refuse.
“Alright, you go to bed early too.”
She stood up, unzipped the tent, sat in it, and then zipped it again.
The tent was able to block the rain and wind. The quality of the tent was very good too.
It was only eight o’clock. Qin Shu laid in the tent and couldn’t fall asleep for a period of time. She took out her phone and opened it. After thinking for a while, she dialed Fu Tingyu’s phone number. She waited for a long time but the call didn’t connect. Only then did she realize that the signal on her phone was gone.
She was used to sleeping late and playing with her phone but now, the phone suddenly had no signal and she had to sleep early. She was really not used to it.
But, if she didn’t sleep, there was nothing she could do either.
Qin Shu put away her cell phone and closed her eyes to sleep. After a long time, she gradually became sleepy.
While she was half asleep, she suddenly heard a wolf’s howl. Qin Shu shuddered uncontrollably in her sleep and suddenly opened her eyes.
Then, she heard the roar of a wild beast.
What she was afraid of had happened.
Qin Shu turned on the light on her cell phone. She reached into her backpack and searched for a while. She found a dagger and an iron bar. The iron bar could be stretched to three times its length.
She quickly unzipped the tent and walked out.
When she walked out, Qin Shu was dumbstruck. In the pitch-black night, she looked over and saw dozens of pairs of green eyes surrounding the tent. She could hear the growls of wild beasts and impatient howls. It seemed that they were really hungry and needed to replenish their food.
And the food was Han Xiao and her.
Han Xiao woke up earlier than Qin Shu. When he heard the unusual movement, he rushed out and saw a wolf in front of the tent.
Seeing a wolf meant that the wolf pack was nearby.
Han Xiao wanted to kill the wolf before it sent out a signal.
However, before he could make a move, the wolf had already howled. Wolves were also very smart and had a high IQ.
When they saw their prey, the first thing they would do was to inform their companion using their howls.
In less than ten seconds, more than ten wolves swarmed over. When they looked at Han Xiao, their eyes emitted a green light as if they were telling him how hungry they were.
Qin Shu tightened his grip on the iron rod in her hand and glanced at Han Xiao. “Why are there so many wolves suddenly?”
“I’m not sure. Maybe it’s because they smell something that doesn’t belong here.”
As soon as Han Xiao finished speaking, a wolf took the initiative and was the first to pounce over. Then, the others followed suit.
Sharp fangs and sharp claws. These were all sharp weapons that could hurt people.
Han Xiao dodged to the side and began to counterattack.
The remaining wolves surrounded Qin Shu.
When wolves were hunting, they had their own unique strategies. They were very smart and cooperated well with their companions.
Therefore, when someone met a pack of wolves, they were really unlucky.
Qin Shu held the iron rod in her hand tightly. The iron rod was about a meter long. When the wolves pounced over, she swung it hard and hit a wolf’s head.
The other wolves also pounced on her.
When Qin Shu dodged, she quickly swung the iron rod, injuring one wolf after another.
After a battle, a few wolves died and a few were injured. The wolf pack seemed to have been provoked. All the wolves bared their fangs and emitted a vicious glare.
One of the wolves suddenly raised its head and howled into the sky.
Qin Shu looked at the wolf pack. He had a bad feeling.
Han Xiao frowned. “There are more wolves nearby.”
Qin Shu wiped her sweat. “Are we really that unlucky? There are more wolves? There’s enough here already.”
Han Xiao said, “Wolves live in packs. It’s normal for dozens of wolves to appear together.”
“Thus, once the leader wolf calls, there’s a possibility that another pack will appear?”Qin Shu felt cold sweat on her palm. There were so many wolves!
A series of noises accompanied by the rustling of leaves was heard. Han Xiao frowned. “They’re here.”
Qin Shu also heard the noise. “When you were training in the wilderness, did you encounter a pack of wolves?”
Han Xiao said, “I did. However, there was a group of us. Dealing with a pack of wolves was nothing.”
“Alright, more people meant more strength.”
While they were chatting, the pack of wolves surrounded them again. The many pairs of green eyes looked at them as though they wanted to eat them. Actually, the wolves did want to eat them.
It was very difficult to deal with so many wolves.
The wolves pounced over together as though they wanted to show them that more wolves meant more power. There were more claws and more fangs. They wanted to tear the two people into pieces and eat them.
After an hour of fighting, Qin Shu was somewhat exhausted. She felt that she could not hold the iron rod in her hand anymore. She touched her old injury on her right leg during the battle and it was hurting.
Han Xiao’s condition was slightly better than Qin Shu’s. He trained frequently and he was good at fighting. However, there were too many wolves so he wasn’t able to cope with all of them. He also wasted some of his strength and energy.
During this chaotic fight with the wolves, Qin Shu, who was exhausted, was thrown to the ground by a wolf. The iron rod in her hand stopped the wolf’s attempt to bite her but it couldn’t help her in any other ways.
Before she could react, she felt her back sinking backward. A warm liquid splashed onto her face, giving her a sudden shock.
The wolf in front of her did not have the time to scream. It fell to the ground.
Qin Shu looked back and realized that Han Xiao was behind her. He was the one who killed the wolf and the blood on his face was wolf blood.
In that instant, two wolves pounced on her from both sides. One of them bit Han Xiao’s arm. It happened so quickly none of them was able to react in time.
Qin Shu held a dagger in her hand and stabbed at the wolf’s head without thinking. This was a fatal spot.
When the blood spurted out, the wolf fell straight to the ground. It twitched a few times and did not move again.
Han Xiao’s movements were also swift. He used his dagger to kill the other wolf.
The moment the wolf fell, Qin Shu let out a sigh of relief. She threw the dagger away and hurriedly went to check the wound on Han Xiao’s arm.
“Quick, show me the wound on your arm. Wolf’s fangs are poisonous. It’s easy to get infected by bacteria.”
