Chapter 27: A critical situation
The man-bear ran away, and the evil wolf miraculously won thanks to the sudden appearance of the “mysterious” guy, who was standing in our camp. The situation became strange and unclear.
My palms were sweating. I couldn’t believe that the mysterious guy hadn’t noticed us, even though the werewolf and the man-bear had. My only hope was to hear its laughter. It was a woman, or a female. Didn’t they say that all females were more tenderhearted than males? Could it be that it would let us off lightly?
But at the same time, I admit that my thoughts are ridiculous. What female, what female? How desperate am I to think like this?
In fact, I had already decided in my heart that if the situation was really bad, I would go down. If it was really a monster, I, the descendant of the mountain line of the old Li line, would not be afraid of it.
I tried to communicate with Silly Tiger, but I got the feeling that it was still sleeping. I didn’t force it to wake up, because after communicating with it, I knew that Silly Tiger was still digesting the energy it had gained from swallowing the little ghost the last time. If I summoned it to appear and fight, it would be like throwing away all the hard work and losing the benefits.
In a sense, I am Silly Tiger, and Silly Tiger is me. Whether I admit it or not, in my life, Silly Tiger is of unparalleled importance. I have no reason not to do well for it, and I will not wake it up unless I have no choice.
The situation was somewhat stalemated, and the demon wolf was still recovering, but the “mysterious” figure had already stopped laughing, which made goose bumps, and made even more incredible movements. It actually walked a few steps to the water that Lao Zhang had sacrificed to the mountain god, picked it up at random, turned its back, and from the movements of its body, it seemed to be eating those things, but it seemed to be very difficult to eat. Soon, I saw it spit it out again.
Then, it entered our tent!
I don’t know what I felt in my heart. Many important equipment was in the tent. Could this son of a bitch be trying to cut off our retreat?
The forest was unexpectedly quiet, so quiet that I could hear the panting of the demon wolf and the ticking of the watch on my wrist. We didn’t make any moves, just waiting, waiting for a possible duel.
After a while, the colorful figure came out. Unexpectedly, I didn’t see it carrying our luggage. It was holding… I simply turned on the flashlight. Since it had already found us, I didn’t think it was necessary to hide. I wanted to see what it was holding in its hand.
But as soon as I saw it, I regretted it and my face turned red. I really wanted to slap myself twice and scold myself for being so stupid!
Because the guy was holding Ru Xue’s underwear in his hand, which is underwear, underwear, etc. Under the light of the flashlight, it was especially obvious, which made everyone embarrassed. Old Zhang coughed and hummed, probably holding back a laugh.
I could hear Ru Xue’s breathing become a little heavier, and I knew that this girl, who was always calm and collected, was angry.
I quickly turned off the flashlight, thinking that I would make the young master look ridiculous. I wondered if the young master would strike you with thunder or strike you with thunder. However, the “mysterious” figure was wrapped up tightly, and I didn’t know if it was satisfied with Ru Xue’s underwear. I just felt that it seemed to turn around happily and then left!
Just like that? I couldn’t think straight. It came here in a hurry, but was it really here to save the demon wolf, or was it here to steal Ru Xue’s underwear?
But this demon is happy to leave, and I can’t force it to stay. I can’t slap it and yell at it, “I told you to steal underwear, I told you to steal underwear!”
It left, and the demon wolf in the snow stood with a respectful look on its face. Although I don’t know how a wolf’s respect is expressed, I think anyone can feel its respect when they look at the demon wolf.
This is what happened in less than ten minutes, but as soon as the figure disappeared, the evil wolf began to howl to the sky, presumably recovering! And this time, it is unlikely that anyone will come to clean it up.
As soon as it barked, Lao Zhang let out a low cry: “It’s over. That sound is calling the wolf cubs!”
I thought of the dense pack of wolves, and my scalp went numb. I had seen it once before, when Xiaohuo had summoned a pack of wolves during the duel with Lu Fanming. I had no doubt that they would appear, and that in a few minutes we would all be torn apart by them. After all, we were not monsters like Lu Fanming and his group, but zombies!
Thinking about this, I almost said subconsciously, “What should we do?”
Old Zhang took out a rope and said, “Try to climb as high as possible and tie yourself to a tree with the rope! The wolf cub is too good at jumping, so don’t let it reach us. The rest is up to fate. When it gets light, I’ll send a distress signal and someone will come to save us, but don’t count on it now. No one will see it if you send it. The people here sleep early and get up early!”
This is the only way to do it. Old Zhang said he would do it, and he told me to climb up first. He just didn’t forget to say, “If we send out a distress call like this, it’s inevitable that the relevant departments will be alerted. Hunting in the forest will be restricted, and we won’t be allowed to go deeper. This is the rule. If we wait for help, this will…”
“There will be a way. You guys come up first.” It was Ruoxue’s voice coming from above. I tied the rope to myself while saying to Lao Zhang, “Then don’t send a distress signal. She said there is a way, so there is a way.”
The evil wolf kept howling, and gradually the mountains and forests had already responded to its call. Judging from this cunning wolf, it probably knew that we were not easy to deal with, and that it was injured itself, so it was not in a hurry to approach us, but summoned its accomplices instead.
It was cunning, but in a way, it also gave us time to climb to a higher place. Although the branches were “thin” at a higher place, we were not afraid of falling because we were tied to the main trunk with a rope.
The anxious Wu Laogui floated in front of me after we finished our work, saying anxiously, “Young master, young master, will you do it?”
I asked it in a daze, “What hand?”
“Just that tiger. You get that big tiger out, right? It’s so loud, my soul is about to scatter. Get that powerful guy out?” Wu Laogui said anxiously.
I knew that at the time, not only did I feel the meaning of the “mountain god,” but Wu Laogui also felt it, and it naturally heard the roar of the stupid tiger, so it said that.
At this point, Old Zhang was already looking at me with a puzzled expression. It wasn’t that I wanted to hide it from Old Zhang, but because this matter was too inexplicable for Old Zhang. A person’s tolerance is limited. I couldn’t just go and indoctrinate him with this, completely destroying someone else’s three views. So I said to Old Wu, “Don’t talk nonsense. Are you scared out of your wits? This time, handle it like snow.”
Wu Laogui looked at me with understanding in his eyes, and he really didn’t dare to talk nonsense. But at this time, I saw a pair of green eyes appearing on the hill, and the wolves finally came…
And the evil demon wolf chose this moment to step into the tree where we were, and the situation became critical.
The demon wolf finally came over, hovering within ten meters of the tree, and cunningly hiding behind another tree, looking up at us. I heard Lao Zhang whisper, “This kid, it’s like he knows I have a gun, hiding!”
Old Zhang didn’t say it, but I didn’t think it. When Old Zhang said it, I thought about it, and it seemed to be true.
We were trapped in the tree, unable to move, and we were also humorous enough to run into the forest and tie ourselves to the tree. But when I thought about it, no one could laugh, because the wolves were coming, and the wolves were getting closer.
After just a few minutes of this standoff, I saw at least twenty wolves running towards us! And that wasn’t all, because I saw more wolves coming from behind, and I didn’t know how many there were.
“These kids!” Old Zhang raised the shotgun he had been carrying on his shoulder, and it looked like he was also very angry.
Ruoxue was very calm, and said, “I’ll do it.”
Chengxin said, “I’ll help, but this is a bit too much. If they push too hard,
I didn’t say anything, just remained silent.
What will happen? I was inexplicably nervous. At this time, I had no idea that my adventure in the old forest would only begin that night, plunging me into an inexplicable incident, the outcome of which was completely unexpected and bizarre!
