When Zhang Tie walked out of the mining cave once again, the afterglow of the setting sun gilded the entire Wild Wolf Valley. Squinting his eyes, Zhang Tie stared at the tranquil and beautiful valley. After quite a while, his eyes slowly recovered.
Today's afternoon cultivation was really effective. After a whole afternoon's cultivation, the burning point on his tailbone had already started to glow red. Additionally, after a whole afternoon's cultivation and recovery, Zhang Tie felt unprecedentedly good. If not for the burning torch, which reminded Zhang Tie that it might not be early outside, Zhang Tie really wanted to stay inside for a few more hours to replenish the basic energy storage of the Castle of Black Iron.
Before leaving the mining cave, Zhang Tie entered the Castle of Black Iron from the mining pit where he had been digging. The whole process lasted less than three minutes. After entering the Castle of Black Iron, Zhang Tie took the seeds of dandelions, wild blueberries, and hawthorn fruits with him. After running around the Castle of Black Iron, he casually threw away the seeds. After checking the growth progress of the second Leakless Fruit, he exited the Castle of Black Iron.
There were still 56 hours left before the second Leakless Fruit would mature. Zhang Tie was very satisfied with this result. However, he felt slightly regretful that, because he had not been to the fighting club to be a human flesh bag for the past few days, the progress bar of the Iron Body Refining Fruit on the small tree was still at the same position as before Zhang Tie had participated in the survival training. Looking at the unripe Iron Body Refining Fruit, Zhang Tie was shocked to find that he actually had a tendency to be cheapskate and felt his skin itch! "F * ck!"
At this moment, those horny male students were pretending to be gentlemen while actually being extremely wild inside, inviting those girls out for supper. After more than a week, some lovey-dovey boys and girls had already left the small square and started to walk down the hillside hand in hand while talking and laughing. Seeing this, Zhang Tie was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. In the end, he could only touch his nose helplessly. With a self-mocking smile, he then walked towards the tree house.
I wonder how Barley and the others did today. Did they invite a bunch of girls to the treehouse?
On the way back to his treehouse, Zhang Tie's mind was filled with such thoughts. Before the survival training, he had forgotten all the rumors about the dangers of this survival training. Even Zhang Tie couldn't imagine what kind of danger he, an unlucky miner who had been hiding in the back all day long and had created two mining records since the beginning of this survival training, could encounter. A wolf?
Thinking of wolves, Zhang Tie smiled as he was blown by the intoxicating night wind in the valley. At this moment, if he encountered a wolf, he would only feel that he was lucky and that God had sent him another gift. A LV 1 fighter with a weapon, even if it was only a dagger, would have to deal with a wild wolf. This challenge was as difficult as carrying a 100 kg mining basket and walking 1.5 km, or even worse. It would be hard, but it would not be too dangerous …
However, the main reason why danger was dangerous was that when it came, it would always catch you unprepared. Before you could prepare for it, it would appear in front of you like the collapse of the sky and the collapse of the mountains. If you were not careful enough, you would be crushed into pieces.
After leaving the mine for less than 20 minutes, Zhang Tie had already walked a few miles. The moment he turned around a mound and was about to pass through the small piece of grassland that he used to pass every day, he suddenly stopped.
At this moment, his heart suddenly pounded heavily, which brought more blood to his brain. In a split second, Zhang Tie felt a bit dizzy. Closely after that, he became flurried. Zhang Tie's face changed greatly at once.
Sudden whim!
It was the same whim as when he had met Huck and Snade two weeks ago.
The grassland was more than 30 m in front of Zhang Tie. Beside the grassland was a path that Zhang Tie used to mine in the mines every day. As the wind blew, the grassland looked like wheat in the field. As the wind blew, the grassland looked like wheat in the field.
Zhang Tie immediately started to sweat as he realized that there was something terrifying staring at him from the grassland. He didn't know whether it was a human or an animal hiding in the grassland. At this moment, Zhang Tie thought of Glaze's group. Did they dare to ambush him here?
Zhang Tie slowly untied the mining basket on his back and took out the pickaxe from the basket with his right hand. At the same time, he pulled out the dagger that he used to defend himself with his left hand. This dagger was just an ordinary one given to him by his elder brother, while the one given to him by Donder was for sneak attacks. Zhang Tie had placed it in the Castle of Black Iron.
With the two weapons in hand, Zhang Tie slightly recovered his composure. Widely opening his eyes, he stared at the grassland, wanting to see what was hiding there. If it was really Glaze's group, Zhang Tie would definitely make them suffer a great loss...
As the wind grew stronger, the grass waves continued to roll with a rustling sound. However, Zhang Tie found that there were some reefs in the grass waves, which caused the grass waves to change their forms.
Before his spiritual energy had surged, Zhang Tie would not have such a keen observation ability. However, after his spiritual energy had surged, Zhang Tie immediately noticed this tiny change. Swallowing his saliva, Zhang Tie slowly moved back. The moment he moved back a few steps, the reef-like objects in the grassland also started to move. The reef-like objects separated the grassland and moved closer to Zhang Tie step by step.
A wolf, which was staring at Zhang Tie, drilled out of the grassland...
"It's a wolf?" Zhang Tie slightly relaxed, but soon after, he tensed up. Behind that wolf, more and more wolves drilled out of the grassland one after another. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...
There were seven wolves in total. All of them stared at Zhang Tie with their red eyes. Only by exchanging glances with them, Zhang Tie could feel their emotions towards him. It was not greed or desire to kill, but hatred, a deep-rooted hatred that could not be washed away even if all the blood in his body was drained.
"Why do these wolves hate me so much?" Zhang Tie didn't know. He only knew that this time, he was doomed. Seeing the seven wolves gradually revealing their white fangs, lowering their bodies, and hearing the growling sounds coming from their throats, Zhang Tie felt goosebumps all over his body...
Zhang Tie turned around and started to run. The moment he tried his best to run, his mind was as clear as a crystal, and some information flashed across his mind like a lightning bolt...
At this moment, he was less than 30 m away from these wolves. If he tried his best to escape, it would only take them more than 20 seconds to catch up with him. With his current ability, he could not compete with wild wolves in the wild at all...
After catching up with him, he only had less than 30 seconds to decide whether he lived or died. Within these 30 seconds, he could kill one or two of these wolves if he risked his life, but 30 seconds was enough for the remaining seven wolves to tear open his stomach or bite his throat. When he was pounced on by these wolves, it would be the time when he would be completely finished …
In order to enter the Castle of Black Iron, he needed to calm down for 10 seconds... no, 9 seconds. During this period, he could not be disturbed. It was already too late. The Castle of Black Iron was no longer working and could no longer help him...
There was no one nearby. It was impossible for anyone to come and save him in these fifty seconds that would decide his life or death. Therefore, he only had about twenty seconds to escape. If he was caught by the seven wolves in these twenty seconds, he would be finished …
He could not resist them, and others could not be relied on. In these 20 seconds, his only hope was to make use of the terrain and the trees within 200 m behind him.
The best terrain he could make use of was water — unfortunately, there was none. There were also trees. There were many trees, but his tree-climbing skills were not much different from a three-legged cat. In a few seconds, it was impossible for him to climb to a safe height, so climbing trees was not an option. Then, there was only this last option. If he chose the other paths, he would definitely die. If he chose this path, he would have a chance of survival.
These thoughts flashed across Zhang Tie's mind in less than 0.1 second. At the same time, Zhang Tie had already decided on his plan to escape. If it were someone else, 90% of them would definitely choose to escape towards the direction of Wild Wolf Castle, where there were many people, hoping to win themselves a chance to survive. However, in Zhang Tie's opinion, they would reach the end of this path within 50 seconds. The other 10% of them would just run away in a panic, trying to stay away from the wolves. Even though they would not have a good chance to survive this path, they would also reach the end of this path within 50 seconds, which was even shorter than the first one. However, after making this decision, Zhang Tie clearly ran towards the other route, preparing to seek a chance of survival in the face of death...
Of course, it was not enough for him to run away. Humans should never give up even a bit hope; especially as a promising youth in the new age, he should not go with the flow; instead, he should do something. Therefore, the moment Zhang Tie turned around and escaped, he uttered a loud yet miserable shriek at the top of his lungs with all his strength — —
"Help..."
This shout shook the surrounding wilderness and startled numerous birds in the valley...
After shouting, Zhang Tie used all of his strength to rush out. Behind him, the seven red-eyed wild wolves were closely chasing after him, gradually shortening the distance between them.
… …
Zhang Tie's last "help" was indeed heard by someone. On a small hill over 300 m away, a group of about 30 men and women were having a barbecue in the woods. The moment they heard Zhang Tie's cry for help, they hurriedly ran out of the woods with their weapons in hand. The red-haired beauty who had kicked Zhang Tie was among them. From the hill, they witnessed Zhang Tie's "last few seconds" in this world...
Finally, Zhang Tie was caught by the wolves. Some of them pounced at him, but he dodged them as if he had eyes on his back. The moment the wolves jumped into the air, the young man instantly stepped to the side and slightly leaned his body to one side. He then swung his dagger upwards, slicing through the wolf's belly. Another wolf pounced at him, but he ferociously smashed its jaw with his pickaxe. The miserable howl of the wolf was even clearer than Zhang Tie's cry for help. At this moment, a wolf had already bitten Zhang Tie's calf, pulling him down to the ground. When the other wolves were about to pounce at him, the young man who was fighting against the wolves didn't hesitate to stab his dagger into the body of the wolf that was biting his calf. He then dragged the wolf with one hand and without any hesitation, he turned around and rolled into the huge black hole beside him...
Zhang Tie's decisiveness and bravery in the "last few seconds" deeply shocked the boys and girls on the hill in the distance. Seeing Zhang Tie and the wolf rolling into the bottomless black hole, many of the girls on the hill burst into tears. Among all of them, only Christen recognized the black-haired young man who was fighting against the wolves with a pickaxe and dagger.
"Maybe I shouldn't have kicked him in the square. Even if I let him think about it, it wouldn't have mattered …" Christen thought to herself, slightly blaming herself. A gust of wind blew over. She didn't know why, but she found that her face had already become a bit cold...
