Just as he expected, cries of surprise came from the area.
Quite a number of examinees who were sent over noticed that they were in the wild and saw lights that seemed to be right in front of them, so they ran in the direction of the city regardless of the cost.
"Those idiots! They're just a bunch of scattered soldiers. How could they possibly run more than ten kilometers away? Do they think that the monsters are deaf, blind, and have a bad cold, so they can't smell their panic? "
Meng Chao gritted his teeth. "Instead of running like scattered sand and being killed by the monsters one by one, it'd be better for us to work together and dig trenches to form a battle formation. Something major happened, so the Red Dragon Army and Supernatural Tower will definitely send a large number of powerful fighters to search for us. As long as we last until daylight, we'll definitely be saved!"
Luo Hai and the other two looked at each other.
Meng Chao's courage and calmness just now had left a deep impression on them. At that moment, they could not help but agree with his train of thought.
But it was easier said than done. They wanted to defend themselves and wait for reinforcements, but shrill wolf howls came from the depths of the forest.
The four of them instantly felt their hair stand on end.
"Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!"
Wolf howls rose and fell, and they surrounded the forest.
"We ran into a pack of wolves!"
Luo Hai and the other two gulped. They could see the fear in each other's eyes.
Before they could think of a plan to deal with the situation, three wet strips of cloth were flung at them.
They were slightly stunned. When they turned their heads around to look, they found that Meng Chao had already used a piece of cloth to cover his mouth and nose. He was using another piece of cloth to tie his Lightning Saber to his right hand.
"You …" The trio was shocked.
"The Demonic Bloody Moon Wolf's presence can interfere with a human's sense of smell and hearing. It can cause hallucinations and fear to a certain degree, but wherever there's poison, there's an antidote. Their blood can block the blood fog to a certain extent," Meng Chao explained.
"Aside from creating fear, these creatures aren't really strong. As long as we summon our courage, we'll definitely be able to survive!"
The branches swayed, and blood fog filled the air. A Demonic Bloody Moon Wolf appeared like a ghost.
Meng Chao shouted and swung his saber to go up against it.
Whoosh!
The Lightning Saber was like a bolt of lightning. The essence of the future One Hundred Saber Techniques was fully released.
The Demonic Bloody Moon Wolf arched its back and jumped high into the air.
But he did not expect that the slash would be a feint. At the instant Meng Chao executed his slash, his legs struck the ground like a pile driver. He calculated the Demonic Bloody Moon Wolf's position, sank his shoulders, and Reckless Bull Technique erupted like a tidal wave.
The astonishing power sent the Demonic Bloody Moon Wolf flying eight to eight feet away and destroyed its balance.
Another bolt of lightning arrived first. Thud! It sank into the Demonic Bloody Moon Wolf's abdomen and tore it in half from its abdomen to its hind legs!
The beast fell powerlessly, its internal organs spilling all over the ground. In the face of the shining blades of the humans, it could only let out its final whimpers.
The scene that was filled with a violent beauty caused Luo Hai and the other two's blood to boil. The fear that had been lingering in their hearts disappeared, and their mental strength indexes instantly rose to more than 120%.
Indeed, humans had to slaughter their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the Other World. Blade Shattering Pythons and Demonic Bloody Moon Wolves could forget about stopping them from becoming undergraduate students!
[Killed Demonic Bloody Moon Wolf. Increased Skillfulness for One Hundred Saber Techniques by 1%. Increased contribution points by 25.]
[Due to your encouragement, normal citizens Luo Hai, Xie Feng, and Fang Da have increased their mental strength indexes. Increased contribution points by 33.]
Then, he brought out all the gauze and cotton from the emergency kit. He soaked them in wolf blood and divided them into small balls before he threw them to the trio. "Use the gauze and cotton balls to cover your mouths and noses. You can minimize the interference from the wolf howls. Then, we'll search for more examinees. If we're united, we'll be able to fight against the wolf pack!"
Luo Hai and the other two answered loudly.
The four worked together and killed two more Demonic Bloody Moon Wolves who tried to ambush them. They obtained a lot of wolf blood.
Soon, they found five examinees.
These examinees were first sent out of the city before they breathed in the Demonic Bloody Moon Wolf's terrifying blood fog. They were incredibly nervous, and their mental strength indexes fell by a lot.
Many of them did not even know where their weapons were. They just ran around like headless chickens.
Some people hugged their guns that had no bullets, as if they were hugging their life-saving straws. They curled up in a corner and shivered.
Some people pointed at the darkness and talked nonsense, as if there were countless monsters lying in ambush in the indistinct fog.
Meng Chao and the other three poured wolf blood on them and roared in their ears. They managed to stabilize their mental strength indices, albeit barely.
When they saw that Meng Chao and the other three were bathed in blood and had wet wolf pelts draped over their bodies to serve as defense, their sabers were filled with great killing intent, and they looked like fierce hunters, the examinees shuddered.
While Luo Hai and the other two poured the blood, they felt lucky.
If Meng Chao had not been calm enough, they might have ended up in the same state. How embarrassing!
Meng Chao looked at the flashing numbers at the corner of his eyes and sighed in relief.
Every time he woke up an examinee, he would get a certain amount of contribution points.
The numbers were secondary. The main point was that he knew that his strategy was correct.
As long as they worked together and summoned up their courage, there was a possibility that they could escape!
However, there were too few of them. The environment in the wild was complicated, and it was dark. It was impossible for them to find all the examinees who were scattered around.
Meng Chao gritted his teeth and came to a decision. "Light a fire and sing loudly. Have everyone come to us and provide coordinates to the rescue team!"
Luo Hai and the others were shocked. "Won't that be telling the wolves that we're here?"
"Even if we don't light a fire, the wolves will know," Meng Chao said quickly.
"The Demonic Bloody Moon Wolves have a much sharper sense of smell than humans. Even if we hold our breaths and hide in the dark, they will still smell us clearly. Instead, we'll be the ones who can't find each other and think that we've been abandoned. There's no way we won't descend into despair.
"The more desperate you are, the more panicked you are, and the easier it is for you to breathe in the blood mist. You will fall into a vicious cycle, and when you hear the wolf howls, you will completely collapse.
"On the other hand, there's strength in numbers. As long as we use fire and songs to gather all the examinees, even if we run out of bullets and break our sabers, we'll be able to fight against the wolves for a while with our fists, kicks, and teeth. We'll be able to last until the rescue team arrives.
"Trust me, we'll definitely survive!"
His valiant performance just now had won everyone's admiration.
There were also fire tools for surviving in the wild in the self-heating military ration bag.
They found an empty spot in the forest where there were fewer plants.
Quite a number of the trees there had been charred. They should have been struck by lightning before, which was why they had burned a safe area.
The golden flames quickly rose, dispersing the fog-like darkness.
Fire was the sharpest weapon humans could use to get rid of ignorance and conquer other beasts and nature.
Singing was a melody that all civilizations were born with.
When the burning flames rose into the sky along with the loud singing, all the examinees understood one thing.
Regardless of whether they lived or died today, this was a "battle" and not just an "accident".
"Look! Fire! There's fire over there!"
Two examinees curled up in the mud and shivered in the depths of the forest. They sank into despair when they sensed their body temperature continuously dropping.
Suddenly, they pointed at the light not too far away and cried in joy.
"Singing … It's a human's voice!"
A few examinees in another direction panicked. They wanted to run to the brightly lit city, but when they heard Meng Chao and the others' singing, they stopped.
The passionate melody of the war song seemed to contain a burning power that summoned them to gather together.
The examinees looked at the dark path ahead of them and the indistinct lights in the distance. Then, they looked at the flames not too far away and the singing that was even more passionate than the flames.
They hesitated for a moment before they chose to draw closer to the flames and the war song!
Just like that, more examinees gathered around Meng Chao.
The more people there were, the louder the singing became, and the more intense the flames around them became. It turned the small group of human youths who had been inadvertently sent into the depths of the fog into a burning sword that pierced deep into the wild.
The fear was completely chased away. The examinees were full of fighting spirit, and their mental strength indexes returned to more than one hundred.
Another squad of around ten examinees rushed over to meet up with them.
The leader was Chu Feixiong.
"Meng Chao?"
Chu Feixiong's best friend was surprised and delighted. "Hey, you're doing pretty well now! You're even stronger than me!"
It had only been a few hours since they last met, but the two of them looked as if they had reunited after a long time in a war.
To Meng Chao, there was another meaning to this joy. He remembered that in his previous life, without his guidance, not so many students in Class 6 had managed to get into the practical test for the national college examination.
Since the numbers of the test had been randomly messed up, Chu Feixiong had not been assigned to Test Area 5523 in his previous life, so he had not run into any accidents.
Otherwise, Meng Chao would have remembered this matter.
If his return to the past had caused a chain reaction and caused his best friend to not be able to delete all the browsing and downloading records on his computer before he died, Meng Chao would have regretted it.
Fortunately, the white bear did not disappoint him. Even if his fat was covered in wounds, he still stood tall. He was a brave man!
"How did you manage to gather so many people?" Chu Feixiong asked Meng Chao.
"Personal charm. What about you?" Meng Chao retorted.
"Isn't that a coincidence? I also rely on my personal charm!" Chu Feixiong slapped his thigh.
"Um, you have personal charm too?" Meng Chao was doubtful.
"Of course."
Chu Feixiong drew closer and whispered, "I told these people that my uncle is a general in the Red Dragon Army, and I have two Deity Realm superhumans and eight Heaven Realm superhumans in my family. As for the Earth Realm superhumans who are below four-star superhumans, I can't count them. I have a locating chip in my body. As long as we can last for another half an hour, no, ten minutes, reinforcements will definitely descend from the sky, and they will regain their composure and follow me obediently."
"…"
Meng Chao was dumbfounded. He did not know whether he should say that great minds think alike or that Chu Feixiong is even better at bragging than me.
No matter what, they managed to gather around seventy people by deceiving them.
There were enough people, and the fire was warm enough. Everyone calmed down and agreed that running back in the dark was a stupid idea that could kill people.
Under Meng Chao's orders, they gathered the injured in the middle and drank some wolf blood and ate a few mouthfuls of wolf meat. They then piled up the stones they could find around them. They could serve as obstacles, but when necessary, they could also be used as weapons.
As for trenches and more complicated traps, they did not have time to set them up. Meng Chao told everyone to sit down and rest so that they could seize every second they had to recover.
He reckoned that the wolf pack would not just watch as the reinforcements snatched such a big piece of meat. Sooner or later, they would take action.
"Exchange for an Initial Stage Healing Skill!"
He spent two thousand contribution points, and most of the fine wounds in his body were healed. The price he paid for it was hunger, and it was as if all the cells in his stomach were moaning.
Meng Chao tore off a Demonic Bloody Moon Wolf's thigh and placed it on the fire to burn it a few times. Then, he started biting and chewing. Even the bones let out cracking sounds, and not a single scrap was wasted.
His barbaric and boorish manner caused the others to gasp in amazement, and they also regained some of their courage.
At that moment, a foul stench rose, and bloody fog filled the air. The wolf pack had arrived!
