Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Those who have the chili powder, block the wolves to the left and right.” Qian Shisan ordered.
After that order, he brought a dozen people to the river with the chili powder.
The other dozen or so went south.
The patriarch immediately ordered someone to throw a torch on the firewood. The fire spread out, blocking the wolves from coming down the mountain like a great wall.
The wolves that were charging forward immediately stopped.
“Those with bows and arrows,” the chief hurriedly shouted, “immediately go up houses or trees and stop the wolves from entering the village from a distance.”
“Yes.” Five or six people immediately left with their bows and arrows.
The rest of the people quickly retreated to the village, looking for tools as they set traps.
Gu Chengrui and Zhou Ying retreated to Tian Jiaw.a.n.g’s house.
After a short while, the wolves near the fire all fell into a daze.
The alpha wolf howled in anger, and the wolves in front of it immediately began to move to the sides. Only the alpha wolf looked at the crowd coldly through the flame wall.
At this moment, Tian Jiaw.a.n.g climbed up to his roof with his bow and arrow. He was shocked when he saw the situation outside. “Good Lord, there are so many wolves.”
“Yeah, we’re in big trouble.” Gu Chengrui turned his head and asked, “By the way, have Qiuniang, and the others settled down?”
“Yup, I’ve arranged for them to be sent to the underground cellar.”
“That’s great.” Gu Chengrui looked at the river after he finished speaking.
Because Qian Shisan and the rest obstructed the path, the wolf pack slowed down. However, the concentration of chili powder wasn’t high enough, and the wolf pack soon began to advance on all fours.
Seeing this, Qian Shisan started to lead them into a nearby trap. Suddenly, the wolves’ howls rang out again.
The village was so frightened that it was in chaos.
The wolf’s speed immediately slowed, and its movements became more vigilant.
At that moment, a few wolves suddenly left the pack and quickly ran into the village. Tian Jiaw.a.n.g shouted, “Brother Gu, it’s our turn.”
After that, the two men quickly nocked their arrows and shot at the wolves.
Zhou Ying used her slingshot to shoot a bag of knockout powder in front of the wolves.
By the time the powder fell, the wolves were near them.
A moment later, one of the two wolves died while the other was seriously injured. They left the team, and the rest of the wolves fell to the ground one after another before they could run far.
“Not bad, sister. Your aim is pretty good.” Tian Jiaw.a.n.g praised in astonishment.
He knew that she knew some martial arts and was good at them.
He didn’t expect her slingshot skills to be quite good, especially her eyesight. It wasn’t something that could be learned overnight. No wonder Gu Chengrui dared to let her run into the mountains alone.
“It’s just so-so. It’s mainly because of the excellent knockout powder’s effect.” Zhou Ying replied with a smile.
Along the river, although Qian Shisan and the others were deliberately leading the wolves into traps, the number of wolves who fell for them decreased.
Tian Jiaw.a.n.g and Gu Chengrui immediately took their bows and arrows and began to hunt the wolves, while Zhou Ying followed behind Gu Chengrui. She replenished her arrows and shot out more bags of knockout powder with her slingshot.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the wolves were either stopped outside or had already rushed into the village.
The three of them immediately found a stick each and quietly gave chase with their backs facing the village.
Just as they were out of an alley, a wolf suddenly came from the corner and pounced directly at Zhou Ying.
Zhou Ying immediately swung her stick at the wolf’s neck. The wolf dodged it and turned to run.
Tian Jiaw.a.n.g and Gu Chengrui turned around at the same time and rushed over. One hit the wolf’s head, and the other hit the wolf’s b.u.t.t.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying again rushed over and hit the wolf in the waist. Three sticks came down, and the wolf didn’t even have the chance to dodge before it was killed after two squeaks..
