Chapter 62: Prairie Wolf

Lushan reacted so strongly, but in the end, he didn’t give me the answer to the question. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to talk about it, but it was too late to talk about it because three wolves had mysteriously appeared on the road ahead.

Steppe wolves are mysterious. In my impression, it seems that there are only steppe wolves in the Ali area. How can there be wolves in this place near the border?

I’m not afraid of ordinary wolf cubs, and I’m not too scared of meeting such a large wolf pack in the old forest, but the prairie wolf is different. When I was a child, my master loved to talk to me about everything, and he told me no less than five or six stories about prairie wolves.

I have a slight fear of this kind of prairie wolf. In my eyes, they are synonymous with cunning, cruelty, perseverance, and not giving up until the goal is achieved. What’s creepy is that I think their intelligence is not much inferior to that of humans.

There must be something strange going on. The probability of three prairie wolves suddenly appearing on this border highway is even lower than winning the lottery. You have to know that it is not easy to meet one or two wolves in the Tibetan area where wolves are clearly distributed!

Now these three slightly emaciated wolves are sitting or crawling in the middle of the road. I can feel their cold stares from a distance of two or three hundred meters, which is chilling.

‘Squeak’, Lushan stopped the car in an emergency. The sudden appearance of these three wolves obviously put a lot of pressure on Lushan. The car slid along the road for a certain distance before coming to a stop.

I turned to look at Lu Shan. At this time, his face was a little pale, his lips were trembling uncontrollably, and there were inexplicably many beads of sweat on his forehead.

In fact, I knew without Lu Shan having to say anything that these wolves were probably related to the lamas, and that they might be puppets under the influence of spirit possession, just like the eagle. But was it a bit exaggerated to be so scared on the road?

“Squeak, squeak,” two exaggerated sounds of stopping came from behind us. Through the rearview mirror, I saw Hui Gen’er waving at us from the car behind us.

I didn’t have time to ask Lushan anything, so I quickly rolled down the window and asked Hui Gen’er, “What’s going on?”

Hui Gen’er shouted to us, “There are wolves following us on the road and on the mountain behind us!”

The road passes through grasslands and snow-capped mountains. At this moment, our car is at the foot of the snow-capped mountains. After Hui Gen’er’s reminder, I suddenly looked up and then turned around. Sure enough, there were a few wolves on the mountain and behind the road, about thirty or so.

These wolves are different from the Timberwolves. They have a fierce aura about them, and a strange, otherworldly air. When they saw us stop, they didn’t panic and follow us, but gathered slowly towards us, as if to surround us.

“It’s over. These are the wolves of Manmuba. We can’t escape.” Lushan’s tone was full of decadence. He was lying on the steering wheel, and the car was emitting a loud honk, but he didn’t notice it at all.

“Who is Manmanba?” Who exactly is it that makes Lushan so deeply afraid? This is what I’m curious about, but I don’t feel any fear. After all, compared to the old village chief, compared to the demon worm, compared to the starting point… I almost never feel fear for anyone.

Except for the prairie wolf, I have never met a beast that would make me feel that way.

Facing my question, Lushan finally raised his head. At this time, I noticed that his lips had turned pale from fear. He muttered, “Manrenba is the most ruthless person in the entire faction. If I were to fall into his hands, I would rather choose a sinful way of death—suicide! His wolf appeared here, which means that his people will appear soon.” At this point, Lushan turned his head and looked at me helplessly, his lips trembling as he said, “Chengyi, trust me, that Manrenba is no worse than any of the four old men you met at the meeting, and because of his cruelty, he is even stronger.”

“Is he here?” I said nonchalantly.

“No!” Lu Shan looked at me. At this time, the wolves lying in the middle of the road seemed to be getting impatient, too. One by one, they lazily stood up and slowly walked towards us.

The encirclement is gradually shrinking!

“The lord of the Lake of a Thousand Demons, the big guy, the real big guy, do you understand?” I didn’t say anything encouraging directly, but instead asked Lu Shan a question, and then patted him on the shoulder heavily: “If you understand, then listen to me, charge over, we are so many big people, are we afraid of the wolf cubs?”

“But, these wolves, Chengyi, you don’t know…” Lu Shan looked at me, and there was still fear and hesitation in his eyes.

“Charge!” I shouted, suddenly ignoring Lu Shan’s attempts to stop me, and directly lifted the handbrake, put it in gear, and instead of Lu Shan, I slammed on the gas!

“Chengyi, are you crazy? Let go! These wolves are demon wolves!” Lushan shouted, desperately trying to control the steering wheel.

I kept my foot on the accelerator and refused to let go. I also yelled at Lu Shan, “Procrastination will only sap your courage. Don’t talk to me about demon wolves. I’ve seen many real demon wolves in the old forest!”

The car rushed towards the three prairie wolves, like a runaway beast, and the three prairie wolves didn’t even flinch. Suddenly, they began to howl into the sky.

I can’t describe the sound of that howl. It was endless, bloodthirsty, and desolate. The important point is that in that long howl, I seemed to hear countless young girls crying!

“Chengyi…” Lushan roared, and suddenly his eyes lost focus, and he could no longer control the steering wheel.

At that moment, I also felt as if I were overwhelmed by the sadness of countless young girls, and I just wanted to cry with them at that moment. Heaven, hell, or whatever environment it was, it had nothing to do with me.

But fortunately, I still had a little lucidity, and I managed to control the steering wheel, loosen the accelerator, and step on the brake. The car was impacted by inertia and rushed towards the evil wolves.

At this moment, one of the wolves suddenly stopped howling and ran towards the car without dodging, like a gray lightning bolt!

“Chengyi, hang on!” Chengxin’s voice was full of anxiety, but I knew that only he was not greatly affected at the moment. He was calling out to me. If this continued, we would either be surrounded by wolves or the car would be destroyed and we would die!

“Sihu, help me!” At such a tense moment, I didn’t know who to turn to, so I could only keep calling out to Sihu, who was sleeping.

Hearing my call, Silly Tiger suddenly woke up as if he had been startled, and suddenly let out a thunderous roar from the depths of my soul. This roar was the pressure of the king of beasts, and in that moment, it neutralized the negative effects of the howling of the demon wolf.

My eyes cleared up at that moment, but I saw the evil wolf jump onto the hood of the car at such a high speed, and then head toward the windshield!

At this moment, I was shocked. Was it trying to kill itself or us? However, the reality did not allow me to hesitate or be surprised.

So, almost without thinking, I instinctively slammed the accelerator and pulled the steering wheel. The huge inertia threw the demon wolf out of the car, but before that, its head had already hit the windshield a little, making a dull sound. After that, it was thrown off the car.

I don’t know if I was hallucinating at the time, but I actually saw the windshield in front of the car start to crack where the wolf had hit it, forming a small spider web-like crack!

Oh my god! I exclaimed in my heart. You know, this windshield still has a certain degree of strength, not to mention the fact that there is a certain degree of strength in the film on the glass!

What kind of wolf is this? I roared in my heart!

At this time, Chengxin had already grabbed Lushan, who was in a daze, and yelled at me, “Chengyi, control the car quickly, unless you want us to die in a car accident for such a ridiculous reason!”

I didn’t hesitate. I jumped into the driver’s seat at a speed so fast that it was almost like a jump. At that moment, I felt like I was in an action movie. What was even more amazing was that I actually did it.

At the moment I jumped over, the car lost control for a brief moment, but luckily I turned the steering wheel in time and pressed the brake, causing the car to drift for a few meters and slow down until it came to a stop.

I collapsed on the driver’s seat, gasping for breath. Cheng Xin also wiped a bit of sweat and said, “This is not called impulsive, it’s called animal instinct. If you’re a little late, these cunning wolves will jump over, break the windshield, and then we’re finished!”

“Are you praising me or criticizing me?” I said angrily.

Chengxin looked back and suddenly yelled at me, “Whether it’s praising you or criticizing you, just fucking drive now!”

I froze for a moment, and started the car without asking why. Damn it, will you let me rest? From the rearview mirror, I saw that the two cars behind us were also rushing towards us like crazy, plus many evil wolves chasing after our lives!

I was lucky that they didn’t howl at this moment, otherwise I don’t know if the two cars behind us would have rushed to a distance of 100,000 miles.
