"Move back, quickly pull the old horse back." The old man quickly pulled Shi Lei down and placed the handcart in front of him. Because the cave was too big, it was impossible to block it.
This was not the time to regret the size of the cave, nor was it the time to wonder why the feces did not work, nor was it the time to wonder when a pack of wolves appeared nearby.
He had lived here for decades and would occasionally see extremely old and weak wolves, but he had never heard of a pack of wolves nearby.
He stood behind the handcart and waved the sharp bone spear in his hand. He kept roaring in an attempt to intimidate the other party.
Although he had already shouted as loudly as he could, and the expression on his face was as terrifying as possible, it was a pity that it didn't have any effect at all. A few seemingly weak wolves walked in from the entrance of the cave. They were used to test them.
The old woman led the horse and only moved back a little. This cave was not very deep. After a few steps, they had already reached the innermost part. She looked at the old man with a worried expression.
The old man secretly encouraged himself. He could not die here. He still had his wife behind him, and he was still waiting for his child to bring glory to his ancestors.
He saw a few wolves looking at the old man greedily. They slowly moved forward, left, and right, revealing sharp teeth in their mouths. They surrounded him from three directions.
With a wolf howl outside, the wolf in front retreated slightly and stretched out its front legs. Its claws were already exposed, and its eyes emitted a faint murderous light.
This was a sign that the other party was about to attack. The old man was already on guard.
The three wolves attacked the old man at the same time. The one in the middle placed its front paws on the carriage and jumped, pouncing on the old man from the air. The other two came from the side.
The old man did not retreat. Instead, he rushed directly to the wolf in front. His body suddenly rushed forward and directly dodged the other party's sharp claws. He pointed the bone spear in his hand upward and used the other party's momentum to directly cut a large hole in the opponent's abdomen. He took advantage of the momentum to come to the opposite side, just in time to bypass the attack of the two wolves.
A handful of blood fell from the sky. When the wolf fell to the ground, it only struggled a few times before it died.
The old woman covered her mouth, afraid that she would cry out and distract him.
Her other hand protected Shi Lei, afraid that he would rush forward and lose his life. A fool like him would only be courting death. There would be no accidents.
However, she did not notice that there was no fear in Shi Lei's eyes at all. Instead, there was some eagerness.
A simple action made the old man feel a little out of breath. He had to admit that he was old. Back then, he fought a fierce tiger for three days and three nights and killed it with his own hands. Now, even a little vigorous movement made his joints a little painful...
At this time, the sky outside had already begun to brighten up. With the help of this faint light, the old man's heart thumped.
Outside the cave, there was a wolf that was clearly taller than the other wolves. It was tall and mighty, and its sharp eyes were staring at him coldly, causing the old man's heart to tremble.
He should be the leader of this wolf pack. There were many wolf guards beside him.
. This Giant Wolf was taller than the tiger he saw on the mountain. No wonder it was not afraid of the tiger's aura. His group was probably going to die here.
The old man clenched the bone blade in his hand. He did not care about the attack behind him and directly rushed toward the Giant Wolf. The only way to get a chance of survival was to defeat the Giant Wolf while he still had some strength. If he fought with the two wolves behind him, even if he killed them, he estimated that he would not have the strength to deal with the Giant Wolf.
A trace of contempt flashed in the Giant Wolf's eyes. It howled softly and directly waved away the restless guards. It walked out alone. For this kind of prey who overestimated himself, it wanted to torture him and eat him alive.
The two wolves behind it also directly retreated to the side. When their leader was fighting, they did not dare to go up and attack. That would be an insult to their leader.
The old man was happy. This was his best chance. The old man took a deep breath and threw all the distracting thoughts to the back of his mind. He stared at the Giant Wolf.
Looking at the Giant Wolf slowly approaching him, the old man could see that kind of careless expression on its face.
The old man was angry. He took the initiative and directly rushed toward the opposite side. The bone blade in his hand emitted a cold light and directly stabbed toward the wolf's eyes.
The Giant Wolf yawned and raised its claws to grab at the old man. If this continued, the old man would be torn apart by the other side before the bone blade in his hand could get close.
The two were getting closer and closer. Under the worried face of the old woman, the old man quickly lowered his head and slid to the other side of the Giant Wolf.
The other side's body had already reached the old man's chest. It just so happened that he did not need to adjust himself and could comfortably use all the strength in his body. He twisted his waist and fiercely stabbed toward the other side's neck. Success or failure depended on this one move.
The Giant Wolf only took a small step forward. A tail with the sound of the wind flew from behind and fiercely hit the old man's body.
Before the bone blade in the old man's hand could hit the other side, his whole body was sent flying. The bone blade flew out of his hand and directly drew a circle in the air. It fell to the ground and splashed a little bit of mud. It fell to the ground and did not move anymore.
The old man flew directly next to the fire. He tried to get up several times, but his body swayed. He barely managed to get up and fell to the ground with a plop.
Although the Giant Wolf did not use any strength at all, it was still not something that the old man could block. He only felt that his body was falling apart and his head was a little dizzy.
He looked at his old woman in despair. At this time, his wife's face was already covered in tears. Moreover, the two wolves from before were slowly approaching, blocking their way.
At this time, the old woman's mind was blank. She had never experienced such a dangerous thing. Looking at the hungry wolf that was close at hand, those sharp teeth flashing in her eyes, her heart could not help but beat wildly. She did not know what to do.
Looking at the old man's regretful eyes and the Giant Wolf slowly approaching him, the old woman's mind went wild.
Since she was going to die anyway, even if she died, she would die together. She did not care about anything else and directly rushed towards the old man.
The two hungry wolves were shocked at first. They did not expect this weak prey to dare to escape. The hungry wolf that approached her directly pounced on the old woman.
"Quickly get out of the way." The old man shouted with all his strength, the veins on his forehead bulging.
However, the old woman did not care. Her eyes were fixed on the old man. Even if she knew that a fierce wind was coming from behind, she still ran towards the old man. She would die sooner or later, so she might as well die early. She would be satisfied if she could die by his side. It was just that she had implicated Shi Lei.
Just as the hungry wolf's head was about to reach the old woman, Shi Lei moved. With a stride, he crossed the distance of a few steps and directly collided with the other party's body.
"Awoo." The hungry wolf was directly sent flying in the air. It flew out and hit the board of the carriage, crying out in pain.
When the other hungry wolf saw its companion who dared to hurt it, it did not hesitate to pounce forward and claw at his back.
However, the hungry wolf suddenly felt a huge force on its side. It directly flew out from the ground and collided with its previous companion.
The two hungry wolves wailed together.
It turned out that the old horse saw that the other hungry wolf wanted to sneak attack and acted according to the situation. It raised its head and suddenly kicked the wolf's body. The huge force directly sent him flying.
At this time, the old woman was already kneeling on the ground. She carefully lifted the old man's head and placed it on her lap.
"Hurry up and run. I'll help you lead him away." The old man struggled to get up.
"No need. My foot is injured. I can't run away." The old woman's face was filled with gentleness. She gently placed her hand on the old man's head and gently stroked his cheek. She lowered her own face and then gently rubbed his cheek with her own face. She whispered in his ear, "Don't worry.
"You said to me that we will live and die together. Today, I want you to go to see the King of Hell and ask him to be your wife in the next life."
"Yes, I want to marry you in the next life."
The old man's eyes were full of tears. He couldn't say anything else. He directly closed his eyes and waited for the final moment.
The Giant Wolf did not ask about their matters. Just as it was about to understand her, a stone suddenly flew from a distance. It nimbly turned and directly dodged the stone attack.
Although there was no threat at all, it could not be focused on. It angrily looked over. Who dared to sneak attack it? It found that it was actually a delicate and tender food that was looking at it provocatively.
Then I'll start with you. The Giant Wolf directly gave up on the prey in front of it and rushed towards Shi Lei. Since he dared to provoke it at this time, it would let him pay a painful price.
The Giant Wolf nimbly bypassed the two Giant Wolves below and pounced on Shi Lei. It wanted to press him under its body and bite his throat.
When the Giant Wolf looked over, Old Ma was already lying on the ground trembling. For him, facing the Giant Wolf, he did not even dare to think of resisting.
However, when Shi Lei saw the fierce gaze, he did not feel afraid. Instead, his body was somewhat restless. In the face of the opponent's attack, his body nimbly dodged to the side. The distance was much greater than usual, and he even dodged the opponent's claws.
The Giant Wolf launched such a fierce attack, but it did not expect the opponent to dodge it. It was even more furious. Its claws left ten finger pits on the ground and directly pounced on the opponent again.
In fact, Shi Lei did not know how to deal with the opponent. He just followed his body's instincts. He had a hunch that the opponent could not beat him. Facing the claws that were about to hit him, he did not feel worried.
He took a few steps back and directly walked up to the wall. Then, he somersaulted in the air and directly flipped over the Giant Wolf's body in the air. He saw the Giant Wolf's shocked expression.
When Shi Lei landed on the ground, he took advantage of the Giant Wolf's attack to directly clench his fist and fiercely hit the Giant Wolf's side.
Under the punch, the Giant Wolf's huge body directly flew out and hit the wall, causing a burst of dust to fall.
"Awoo."
The angry Giant Wolf did not believe that the opponent was so strong. It had encountered many prey before, but other than some weapons that could leave a trace on its body, the other attacks were simply tickles to it.
The Giant Wolf shook the dust off its body and pounced on the opponent again. This time, it would definitely tear the opponent to pieces, but the opponent was as agile as a monkey. No matter how it pounced and scratched, it could not even touch the edge of the opponent's clothes.
The Giant Wolf had never seen such a situation before. It was very depressed in its heart. Its mouth kept roaring, but it was continuously attacked by the opponent. Its whole body was in pain.
The Old Man and Woman closed their eyes and waited for death. However, they heard the Giant Wolf wailing nearby. They opened their eyes in surprise and saw a figure entangled with the Giant Wolf.
The figure was very agile. Under the Giant Wolf's lightning-fast attacks, it could perfectly dodge and counterattack from time to time. Moreover, it looked somewhat familiar.
When the two separated, they realized that this was not the Shi Lei who had hit his head. They did not expect him to have such skills and be so powerful.
Shi Lei found an opportunity and ruthlessly punched the Giant Wolf's head. The Giant Wolf directly crawled on the ground. When it got up again, its body was unstable. Its head was constantly shaking, and its claws were constantly waving around, afraid that the opponent would take advantage of the situation to continue attacking.
After a while, it shook off the dizziness in its head. Looking at the human in front of it, a trace of fear appeared in the Giant Wolf's eyes. It knew that it was not the opponent's opponent.
The Giant Wolf slowly retreated. It was always vigilant of the opponent and constantly bared its teeth.
Halfway through, it turned around and fled out of the cave. Even the two hungry wolves underground struggled and ran out together.
In an instant, the wolves at the entrance of the cave disappeared completely.
The old man who had completely relaxed felt his body aching. No matter what, he and his wife were finally saved.
"Old woman, wake up. It's okay. The wolves have retreated. We are fine." Looking at the old woman who was still nervously closing her eyes, the old man struggled to break free from the pair of hands and gently patted his wife's shoulder.
"What? We are fine? Who saved us?" The wife opened her eyes and looked at the fist in confusion. There was no one else.
"It's Shi Lei. His skills are really good. He actually chased away the leader of the wolves." The old man recalled the scene of the previous battle. It seemed that when he was young, there was a deputy general who had similar skills. He remembered that he had led them to victory with fewer people and made a name for himself.
"It can't be." The old woman looked at Shi Lei, who was still standing in the same place. She really couldn't imagine how much strength he had in this weak body.
"Thank you, Shi Lei." Although she knew that he might not understand, the Old Man and his wife still thanked him.
They felt that it was their blessing to meet him and save him. Otherwise, this pack of wolves would definitely be dead.
The Old Man and his wife rested for a while and began to pack up. Apart from this matter, they were even more anxious to go back.
After everything was packed up, the old man picked up the bone blade from the ground. Looking at Shi Lei who was sitting in the car, he thought for a while and handed over the only weapon.
"You take it. It will be more useful in your hands." Seeing his puzzled eyes, the old man said.
The old man decided to put this weapon on him. At least, he really couldn't use the power of this weapon. If he had this weapon just now, the Giant Wolf wouldn't have been able to run out.
Because the old man knew that wolves were vengeful, it was impossible for them to give up so easily. He always felt that the rest of the journey would not be so peaceful.
The old man drove the carriage out of this place. Although the old horse's spirit was not good and he was a little frightened, it was only half a day's journey from the village, so he could only force himself to hold on.
Along the way, the old man was very vigilant, especially at some corners and the surrounding peaks. He paid more attention, but he didn't find anything unusual. There was no wind or grass at all.
"After that hillside, we will reach the village after walking on a plain." The old woman was chatting with Shi Lei alone. According to the news she heard before, this can speed up the memory recovery of the lost person, so she introduced everything to him along the way.
Their mountain village is located in front, surrounded by mountains on both sides. Behind them is a large mountain range, which is also scattered into villages, but most of them are far away and rarely come to each other.
From the bottom of the hillside to their village, there is a good plain, but there is limited manpower. They only grow some food near the village, self-sufficiency is not a problem.
But in order to prevent a disaster year, they generally have to buy some extra food in case they don't need it.
The old horse also knows that as long as they pass this hillside, it will be much easier. His footsteps also quickened a lot, ready to rush up in one breath.
Seeing that he was about to rush up, a few black shadows suddenly jumped out from the opposite hillside and appeared in the sky.
"Speed up and rush over." At this time, they must not retreat, or it is very likely that the carriage will overturn.
The old man did not care about the heartache and directly whipped the old horse's buttocks.
The old horse suddenly accelerated and rushed directly up the hillside. Suddenly, his four hooves grabbed the ground and stopped abruptly.
"Bang bang bang"
The hungry wolf that originally pounced on the old horse has landed on Shi Lei. It simply accelerated and directly pounced on Shi Lei behind.
Looking at the sharp claws of the hungry wolves in the sky, before the old woman could react, Shi Lei stood up and directly waved his palm several times, directly sending them flying.
The few hungry wolves howled as they were sent flying, landing heavily on the ground. They groaned weakly, but they were unable to get up. Shi Lei had used all of his strength in this punch. Their internal organs had already been shattered, and they would not be able to hold on for much longer.
"There are wolves, be careful." The old woman finally reacted and loudly screamed.
But her warning was not too late. In front of them, a familiar Giant Wolf was standing there. Behind it, there were hundreds of hungry wolves, all of them bared their teeth and looked at them.
The old horse also used all his strength to stop. The old man came down from the side and sighed in his heart. With so many wolves, only the whole village can possibly stop them.
He did not know where these wolves came from, could it be that they migrated from other places?
Because this place was close to Flower Lake City, the city lord of Flower Lake City would patrol the mountain range near the city every ten years to prevent wild beasts from attacking the city. Because of the war, the patrol mission has not been sent for these two years.
No one went deep into the village to investigate, because there were a few tall mountains in the middle that blocked everyone, no one could climb over. Gradually, everyone moved around the periphery of the village, not knowing what was going on slightly further away.
