In the quiet night, this gunshot was exceptionally sudden, causing people's nerves to jump. Tang Zheng immediately turned his head and looked in the direction of the camp. He exclaimed in a low voice, "Is the Witch Tribe going to attack tonight?"
The elder and Ye Yuan were at a loss, "No, without Lord Envoy's orders, we will not move. How many Single Nests are there? "
"Oh no, something must have happened." Tang Zheng could already hear the commotion. "Don't come near. I'll go and see what's going on first."
Tang Zheng rushed towards the camp in a flash. From afar, he could see that the camp was lit up with dazzling lights. There was a hubbub of voices and many screams.
Huh?
Why is there a pack of wolves here?
Dozens of tall and ferocious hungry wolves surrounded this group of people with their big round eyes. There was a wolf corpse on the ground. It was obviously killed by the shot just now.
Tang Zheng heaved a sigh of relief. These wild wolves were just ordinary beasts and not demonic beasts, so they were not a big problem. He quietly appeared behind the wild wolves, and the people in the camp happened to see this scene. They heard Qi Shaowen shout in panic, "Tang Zheng, be careful! These wild wolves are very fierce. Hurry up and hide."
Although he had good intentions, his loud roar made many of the wolves notice the human behind them. They bared their teeth, revealing their long fangs.
Seeing this, everyone turned pale with fright. This time, Tang Zheng was in trouble, and Lu Ming revealed a smug expression. Tang Zheng, you brat, you're finished this time.
However, Tang Zheng walked straight to the camp as if nothing had happened. It was as if he did not care about the surrounding wolves at all.
Roar!
Suddenly, a wild wolf pounced at Tang Zheng, its sharp claws and fangs attacking Tang Zheng at the same time.
"Ah!"
Screams rang out from the crowd. Many people subconsciously closed their eyes, unable to bear to see such a bloody scene.
However, Lu Ming's eyes were wide open, as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He wanted to see with his own eyes the scene of Tang Zheng being torn apart by the wild wolves.
However, it was obvious that he could not do as he wished. A white shadow streaked across the night sky and crashed into the wild wolf. The wild wolf howled as it was sent flying.
"It's that little bastard again." Lu Ming immediately recognized the culprit. Wasn't it the Xiao Bai that bumped into him yesterday?
"This little bastard is actually not afraid of wolves, and with such great strength, what breed of dog is it?"
Quite a few people saw this miraculous scene, only to see Little White return to Tang Zheng's shoulder, flaunting its might at the pack of wolves.
The pack of wolves were enraged. With a howl, all the wolves rushed towards Tang Zheng. Tang Zheng continued to walk towards the camp as if he was taking a stroll in the park. A white figure flashed as Little White shuttled through the pack of wolves, completely blocking all the beasts, preventing them from getting close to Tang Zheng.
"Is this still a puppy? It's even more ferocious than the wild wolves. "Many people were shocked as they stared blankly at this scene.
In an instant, dozens of wild wolves were sent flying. To deal with these ordinary wild beasts, Xiao Bai did not need to spit fire, nor did he need to show his extraordinary momentum to scare them off. Instead, he simply repelled these enemies without any fancy tricks.
Tang Zheng walked safely into the camp under everyone's watchful eyes. Then, he called out, "Xiao Bai, come back." With a whoosh, Xiao Bai immediately appeared on his shoulder again, pouting unwillingly, as if it had not played enough.
"You … it … what is it?" Lu Ming asked, dumbfounded.
"My pet," Tang Zheng said lightly, then looked at everyone and said, "What's going on?"
"We were attacked by wild wolves when we were sleeping. These bastards are really cunning. They even knew to sneak up on us in the dark. If it weren't for the patrols, we would have been wiped out." Qi Shaowen said happily.
"Then what should we do now?" Tang Zheng asked. Everyone looked at Lu Ming in unison. Lu Ming's face reddened. What could he do? Although there were many people on his side, the only ones who could really fight were the twenty or so soldiers. Facing such a large pack of wolves, they would not be able to gain much advantage.
"Tang Zheng, isn't that puppy of yours very powerful? Let it fight with the wild wolves and we'll be fine. "Lu Ming thought of a plan and said.
Tang Zheng rolled his eyes. You really have a good idea. You actually want to use Xiao Bai.
"Xiao Bai is not as powerful as you say. Aren't you the team leader? You should think of a way to deal with it yourself. Isn't the safety of all of our lives in your hands? "Tang Zheng said coldly.
Since Lu Ming was going against him, he would not help him out of kindness. Anyway, there were so many wild wolves. In fact, with him around, they could not hurt them at all.
Lu Ming was checkmated. Anger flashed across his face. "Tang Zheng, for everyone's safety, are you still going to be so selfish?"
"I'm selfish? When have I been selfish? You're the team leader. Shouldn't you be thinking about everyone's safety? "Tang Zheng retorted immediately.
"You …" Lu Ming was speechless.
Seeing this, Qi Shaowen became the peacemaker. "Team Leader Lu, we have so many armed soldiers. The wild wolves won't stand a chance."
"Really?" Lu Ming asked anxiously.
Qi Shaowen had seen many birds and beasts when he was an archeologist. Of course, he knew a thing or two about wolves. Therefore, he was not afraid. The wolves had been intimidated by Xiao Bai just now. They would not attack for a while. In fact, there was not much danger tonight.
Qi Shaowen went into his tent without looking back. Tang Zheng followed closely behind and went into his bed. The other archeologists with rich experience did not understand the key point. Seeing Qi Shaowen so carefree and fearless, they were much younger than him.
Therefore, the archeologists went back into their tents. Lu Ming stood there in a daze. He looked at the ferocious wolves that looked like they would charge at them at any time. His lips were dry and he was trembling.
"Team Leader Lu, what should we do?" asked a soldier.
Lu Ming hesitated for a long time and said, "You're asking me what to do? What are you doing? You're here to protect us. Listen, don't let any wild wolves come near. "Then, he turned around and went back to his tent.
Early in the morning, everyone woke up one after another. Finally, they saw Lu Ming with dark circles under his eyes. It was obvious that he did not sleep at all last night. On the other hand, the archeologists were in high spirits.
"Let's move on. Ignore the wolves." Qi Shaowen ordered resolutely.
Lu Ming was at his wit's end. He could only agree dejectedly. The wolves had been guarding them for the whole night. They were still ferocious and looked like they would charge at them at any time.
Everyone packed their luggage and moved on. Perhaps it was because the wolves were following them, their speed was much faster. In half a day, they had climbed over a few mountains.
The wolves were persistent. During this time, the wolves launched an attack. Under the sound of firecrackers, the wolves' attack was repelled. They could only stay far away.
Obviously, the beasts were not willing to let their prey go so easily. However, there was nothing they could do.
Suddenly, the wolf pack let out a howl and quickly retreated. The crowd immediately cheered, thinking that the wolf pack had finally given up.
However, Tang Zheng's heart skipped a beat. He looked into the distance and immediately shouted, "Miasma, the miasma is coming."
Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew, and a miasma came with the wind. Everyone hurriedly put on their gas masks, but two people didn't have time to put on their masks. After breathing in a mouthful of miasma, they immediately fell to the ground and didn't get up.
"Ah!" The crowd immediately screamed in horror. They had walked for a whole day yesterday and did not see the miasma at all. Today, they encountered it after walking for only half a day.
Qi Shaowen's face darkened. He was still wondering why they did not encounter the miasma yesterday. Today, they encountered it unexpectedly. Moreover, the miasma was moving so fast that it caught them off guard.
Seeing that someone had fallen, Qi Shaowen quickly rushed over to help one of them up. Tang Zheng reacted quickly and helped another person up.
"Let's go, let's get out of this area. Our masks won't last long," Qi Shaowen shouted.
"Let's go!" The crowd immediately moved. They rushed forward quickly, hoping to get out of this miasma area.
Lu Ming felt as if the Grim Reaper had arrived. His legs turned to jelly and he could not walk. Two soldiers carried him forward.
"Professor Qi, let me do it." Tang Zheng took the team members from Qi Shaowen and supported them on both sides. "I'm strong. I can carry two people."
Professor Qi looked at Tang Zheng with gratification. He then glanced at Lu Ming who was being carried away by the soldiers. His eyes flashed with contempt.
The group of people staggered forward. Many of them had rich archeological experience, but it was obviously their first time in the Hundred-Thousand Hills. They finally saw the ruins of the Hundred-Thousand Hills and realized that the rumors were true. This was not a place with good feng shui.
As they ran, many people had to abandon the heavy equipment they had brought with them. However, the road seemed to have no end. The miasma was still everywhere. It was as if the entire world was shrouded in miasma.
Tang Zheng was shocked. He had encountered miasma before, but it was obvious that he had not encountered such a wide range of miasma. They had been walking for hours, but they still could not get out of the miasma area. If this situation continued, it would not be good.
"Oh no, the compass is broken. The GPS is not working." Suddenly, someone shouted and pointed at the instrument in his hand.
Everyone was shocked. Without these two things, they would be lost. The Hundred-Thousand Hills was not like the outside world. There was no way to find a way out. Getting lost meant death.
Moreover, without these instruments, they would not be able to find the stone statues.
Many people's mood had hit rock bottom. They did not expect to be in such a bad situation after only one day.
Many people subconsciously looked at Lu Ming. Lu Ming was finally able to walk. Although his expression couldn't be seen through the gas mask, it could be seen from his appearance that he was also out of his wits.
If the leader of the archeological team was like this, there was no hope for them this time.
"My gas mask is running out of air." Suddenly, someone shouted in panic.
