218 Help

The last ray of light in the sky disappeared.

Zhao Zhan was silently confronting the wolf with green eyes.

As if it felt threatened, the wolf bared its teeth, rubbed its claws on the ground, and then turned back to the forest with a long hiss.

“Zhao Zhan, there’s more than one. I’ve been looking through the door at night recently, and at least a dozen wolves have come down the mountain.” Someone in the crowd was whispering. Yang Lizheng heaved a sigh of relief and walked to Zhao Zhan’s side. “Now that the wolves are coming down the mountain, I don’t know if other animals will come down the mountain as well. If this continues, we won’t be able to survive the New Year.”

“That wolf must be very hungry. The place where the wolf pack gathered may have been attacked by large beasts. They must have not found food mountains, so they came down the mountain after smelling the human scent.”

“Maybe they are here for revenge. During this time, did anyone in the village go up the mountain and make enemies with the wolves? If we can’t eliminate all the wolves at once, then what awaits us is their endless revenge.”

“Zhao Zhan, if worse comes to worst, you can lead everyone to fight it out with these b*stards! Otherwise, what’s the point of living like this every day?”

Yang Maozhong was the last to speak with a sullen expression.

“Everyone, light a bonfire and guard the mountain for the night. I’ll go up the mountain to see what’s going on when the sun rises.”

“It’s not safe for you to go up the mountain alone.” Yang Lizheng glanced at the crowd and made a decision. “Let Dashan and Maozhong go up the mountain with you.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine alone. Three people are too big a target. I’m familiar with the terrain of the mountain, so I can still run if I encounter danger.”

Zhao Zhan shook his head and refused.

He was free to come and go by himself, not to mention that he still needed to find Chengfeng on the mountain.

“Zhao Zhan…”

Yang Dashan and Yang Maozhong still wanted to say something, but seeing the determination on his face, they stopped.

That night, there were eight wolves surrounding the house. However, due to the fire burning all night, the eight wolves only quietly watched the movements at the foot of the mountain. They would howl from time to time but never came close.

When it was close to dawn, the wolf pack dispersed.

Zhao Zhan didn’t dare to get too close. The wolf pack’s scent was very sharp. Zhao Zhan carried a bow on his back and a knife in his hand as he quietly climbed up the mountain.

The journey was unimaginably smooth. After the wolves retreated from the foot of the mountain, no one knew where they were hiding.

Zhao Zhan first went to the side of the cave and the place where the tiger was buried, trying to see if he could be lucky enough to meet Chengfeng.

There was a rustling sound around him when he got closer.

Zhao Zhan subconsciously tightened his grip on the long knife in his hand. When he looked up again, he found himself surrounded by a pack of wolves.

The wolf pack kept howling.

Just when Zhao Zhan thought they were going to pounce on him, a few wolves tried to surround Zhao Zhan’s body and sniff him.

He was a hunter, and he knew better than anyone how unpopular he was with animals.

However, after seeing the wolf pack’s movements, Zhao Zhan was silent for a moment before he took out the veil that Jiaojiao had used.

He couldn’t think of any other reason why an animal could come close to him and not tear it apart, except for not harming his lover.

The moment the veil was taken out, a strong male wolf leaped in front of Zhao Zhan and tried to drag him by his robe into the forest.

Zhao Zhan thought of the tiger who had entrusted his child to his heart the last time.

Perhaps it was because he had been with his lover for a long time, and his body was stained with her compassionate scent, so the pack of wolves wanted to ask him for help.
