Chapter 415
Everyone’s expression grew solemn, and Liu Xiaoqiao hesitated before turning back and saying, "Sister Wang, they’ve encountered a wolf pack. Once the wolves hold a grudge, if they’re not wiped out in one go, I fear our village will suffer their vengeance. This is too dangerous; we can’t drag you into it. Why don’t you go back first?"
This was a fight between the hunters of Chongzi Gou and the wolf pack; outsiders should not be involved.
Liu Daming also showed a face of agreement.
Song Chongjin and Wang Yongzhu exchanged a look; it wasn’t their first encounter with wolves. In fact, their home still had spoils from the last time.
Wang Yongzhu smiled, "Sister Xiao Qiao, we’ve already come this far; if the wolves truly seek revenge, I doubt we could escape anyhow. No more words, human lives are at stake, and we can’t afford to delay, let’s go!"
Liu Xiaoqiao didn’t speak but silently resolved that if the wolves turned out to be too much to handle, she would risk everything to ensure the Wang Family members got away.
If they could exterminate the wolf pack, the Wang Family’s goodwill would be forever etched in the hearts of the hunters of Chongzi Gou.
As they walked on, the smell of blood carried by the wind grew stronger, the barking of dogs louder, along with the shouts of people.
They quickened their steps involuntarily, and after crossing a rise, they saw at the bottom of the slope a group of hunters, nearly all bearing wounds, in disarray, backing into a circle. In the middle lay several hunters with serious injuries, none of them idle.
Even wounded, they still clutched bows and hunting knives.
At the fringe of the hunters, their hunting dogs, barely a dozen left, loyally guarded their owners’ sides, barking furiously into the woods.
From within the forest, behind the bushes and stirred by the wind, were the fleeting shadows of wolves’ grayish-green backs.
