Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 278 The wolf is coming

The man frowned, feeling fear on one side and the task the captain had given him before he left on the other. He was becoming more and more conflicted.

The man who had hunted the stupid roe deer before was relieved. He didn't need to take any risks. Jiang Yu would be the one to take the lead if anything happened, and he could just hide behind and get the credit.

Regardless of what others think, Jiang Yu and Fu Biao are on high alert. Wolves are highly organized animals, and the appearance of strangers like them near the gathering place will cause the wolves to become restless if they are not careful. Now they have to lead three militiamen who know nothing. What will happen next really depends on fate.

After the leader left the three people with Jiang Yu, he turned back to organize the others to leave.

Jiang Yu looked at the three silent people, especially the man with a low presence, who got her special attention.

The man's heart skipped a beat, wondering if Jiang Yu had discovered something.

Jiang Yu listened to the slightly heavier breathing and pulled the corner of his mouth, "I just want to remind you one thing, listen to my command, walk when I tell you to go, stop when I tell you to stop. I didn't say to shoot, so you are not allowed to move, understand?"

The three people had different expressions, but after a moment they nodded and agreed to her request.

After the others left, Jiang Yu and Fu Biao also stood up. She looked at the low hill in front of her, took a deep breath, and took the lead. "Let's go."

Fu Biao hurried to follow.

Perhaps because they were used to walking, Jiang Yu slightly quickened his pace, and the other three were able to keep up, though their breathing became increasingly louder.

When they were almost at the top of the mountain, Jiang Yu asked them to stop and rest for a while, while he held his breath and listened to the movements on the other side of the hillside.

There were indeed a lot of animal sounds, as well as the sound of something being bitten.

The fishy smell in the air was also much stronger.

It was indeed a wolf's den. Although the terrain was unclear, Jiang Yu guessed that there were quite a few wolves living there.

After the three of them recovered, they walked up carefully together.

Soon, several people reached the top of the mountain, but no one dared to stand there and expose themselves. They all chose to lie down and carefully stick their heads out to look.

Just one glance and everyone held their breath.

Jiangyu smelled a hint of sulfur amid the fishy smell. Is there actually a hot spring hidden in this place?

Dozens of wolves were lurking in the mountains and forests, with young wolves enjoying food among them and playfully biting the bodies of animals.

Fu Biao was horrified. The number of wolves here was far beyond his imagination. He never thought that he would see so many wolves living together at once in his lifetime.

Yesterday and the last time the wolves came down the mountain, there were only about ten wolves. It was terrifying at the time, but it turns out there are even more wolves here.

The three militiamen's heartbeats were so loud that people nearby could hear them clearly.

"No, we have to get rid of them. Otherwise, with so many wolves, when the weather gets warmer next year, they will give birth to cubs, and the number will be even greater. It will be too dangerous for the people living outside." The person who proposed to eliminate the wolf pack at the beginning spoke again.

Jiang Yu glanced at him and said, "Do you think you have the ability to deal with these dozens of wolves?"

The man pursed his lips but looked at Jiang Yu with a firm attitude.

Fu Biao said quickly, "We can go back and ask the captain to report it, and then the commune can ask the troops to come out and clean up. This is much safer than us acting rashly."

The man with a weaker sense of presence endured it, but in the end, his fear overcame everything. He said with trembling lips, "We can't solve it. This is too dangerous. Let's go first. If we are discovered by the wolves..."

Jiang Yu hushed, then swiftly stood up and slowly moved back, "Let's go!"

After she finished speaking, she stood up and ran downstairs.

Over at the wolf den, a sturdy adult male wolf swung his tail and stood up.

The other four immediately stood up and ran away with Jiang Yu.

Everyone's heart was beating like a drum, and when they thought of the look the wolf had just given them, they felt their hands and feet go numb.

Soon, the sound of animals running was heard behind me.

In order not to affect the group of people who were leaving, Jiang Yu took the four people behind him and took another road.

Seeing this, the most timid man immediately asked in panic, "Where are you taking us, Jiang Yu? This is not the way we came here!"

"We can't go that way!" Before Jiang Yu could answer, the man with the weakest presence spoke first. He ran very fast, only one step behind Fu Biao, and followed Jiang Yu closely.

The most stubborn one now looked pale and trembling as he shouted, "What should we do?"

"Let's find a dense forest. It's too empty here and there's no place for us to hide." Jiang Yu replied. In fact, it would be better to have a cave, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Seeing that Jiang Yu had a plan in mind, the others were somewhat relieved and immediately followed her in a frantic escape.

The noise behind me was getting louder and louder, and the wolf chasing me was getting closer and closer.

Jiang Yu stopped and turned around. "You guys run forward quickly, I'll cover you." She took out the stones she had prepared early in the morning and pointed in a direction to Fu Biao. "Go that way." She could already smell the scent of cedar, so she should be able to see it after turning a corner.

"Okay." Fu Biao nodded vigorously, "Be careful."

Jiang Yu didn't care about anything else. He took out a stone and threw it hard at the wolf rushing towards him from afar.

The stone hit the forehead of the leading wolf directly and pierced through it. The wolf rushed forward for a distance and then slowly fell to the ground.

Jiang Yu took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then threw out more stones.

It was not until the fifth wolf fell to the ground that the other wolves slowed down and stood more than ten meters away from Jiang Yu and no longer approached.

The leader wolf was in the middle of the pack. Unlike the last wolf we met, this one was very tall, so it was particularly conspicuous.

Ginger Fish and the wolves were in a stalemate.

She looked at the wolves in front of her that were crouching with their teeth bared, knowing that they would not give up so easily. She subconsciously grasped the machete that was stuck between the backpack and her back.

Stones are weapons for long-range attacks, but given the speed of the wolves, she cannot always keep a safe distance from them, so it is necessary to take a knife.

Jiang Yu slowly retreated, and the leader wolf led the pack forward.

The two sides have always maintained this distance.

Until a howl was heard from the wolf pack, the war between Jiang Yu and the wolves broke out again.

The leader wolf was smart. It knew that Jiang Yu was alone and that siege was the best method. It decisively ordered the other wolves to encircle Jiang Yu.

No matter how fast the ginger fish is, it can't catch up with the wolves' full-speed sprint.

Except for a few wolves that died in her hands at the beginning, when the wolves rushed up later, Jiang Yu had to give up throwing stones and take the initiative to attack instead.

She rushed into the oncoming wolves with a machete and chose to attack from a direction where there were fewer wolves.
