The Emperor is Above

Chapter 44: Wolf Pack Night Attack
"Ouch——"

"Ouch——"

The shrill howls of wolves broke the silence of the night and echoed one after another around.

With the help of the campfire and starlight, Qing Yi could vaguely see a number of huge wolves running around the hill and the pavilion under the cover of night. It was obvious that the wolves had surrounded the camp on all sides.

"what--"

"Help--"

The caravan camp next to the Bison Pavilion was the first to be attacked by the wild wolves, and the caravan was in chaos in the darkness.

Even with Qing Yi's reminders and warnings, the caravan still did not take them seriously and did not prepare well for defense. Several drivers and servants were taken away by the attacking wolves in a panic.

Before they could even scream, they were torn into pieces. The strong smell of blood and the sound of swallowing flesh and blood stimulated the wolves to become more and more excited.

"Ouch——"

The rest of the wild wolves that didn't get any flesh and blood to eat kept howling all around, making people's scalps tingle and even more frightened.

Faced with this bloody scene, Qing Yi had no intention of going to rescue them. It was pitch black at night and he couldn't see the situation outside at all. He could only protect himself as much as possible.

Seeing that everyone on the hill had immediately put on their armor and were holding their weapons to defend themselves, he ordered, "Uncle Chai, have everyone prepare bonfires around us to guard against the Blood Wolf Tribe's beastmaster's sneak attacks."

Chai Yong held a large animal bone knife in his hand, looked at the wolf pack in the distance with a vigilant face, and responded: "Okay! Don't worry, head of the village, we have prepared a lot of dry firewood in advance!"

Young men including Daniu, Xizi, Huaimu, Mengzi and others held their spears tightly, with a hint of excitement in their nervousness.

The twenty militiamen in Huaiqiu were wearing two layers of armor and defending in the front, holding a spear in one hand and a shield in the other. They looked at the pack of wild wolves roaming around with solemn expressions but remained silent.

This time, Tun Shigu did not dare to stand in the front. He stood behind the side carriage, holding a longbow ready for long-range attack. At this time, his eyes were wide open and he was too nervous to speak.

The servants of the Tuen family were even more useless. Although they were also wearing armor and holding weapons, they were so timid that they could only be placed in the second row.

However, the little fox's illusion skills have greatly improved recently. Looking at the ordinary wild wolves around him, he seemed eager to try, as if he wanted to test his own methods on the wild wolves.

As for the chubby tabby cat, it seemed not to hear the noise around it and was still sleeping lazily beside the campfire.

"This lazy cat!"

Qing Yi was speechless about his own civet cat. He shook his head helplessly and continued to observe the caravan camp beside the long pavilion. At this time, someone had taken the lead in fighting back against the attack of the wild wolves.

"Look at the sword, beast—"

"Uuuuuu——"

Fires were gradually lit around the chaotic Changting camp. In the firelight, the young man Gongsun Wu could be seen holding a long sword and killing two wild wolves in succession.

"Ouch——"

Just as his sword pierced into the heart of the second wild wolf, a taller and stronger wild wolf suddenly jumped out from the shadows. It was a ninth-grade wild wolf.

The powerful ninth-grade exotic beast was not inferior to an eighth-grade warrior, especially when it attacked from behind. Gongsun Wu had no time to turn around and was immediately in danger.

"Be careful--"

During the previous conflict, Qing Yi had a good impression of this young man. In addition, the caravan was quite strong and could somewhat contain some of the strength of the Blood Wolf Tribe's beastmasters.

While giving a warning, he shot the wolf tooth rune arrow in his hand without hesitation. Under the force of the ten-stone strong bow, the wolf tooth rune arrow arrived in an instant and hit the hind leg of the ninth-grade wild wolf. It screamed and disappeared into the night. "Thank you!"

Gongsun Wu was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He turned around and loudly thanked Qing Yi who had helped him, then swung his four-foot-long sword and continued to kill the other wild wolves.

At this time, the four ninth-rank guards of the caravan also killed many ordinary wild wolves. The two sides worked together to repel the wolf pack and temporarily restored order in the camp.

Gongsun Wu wiped the sweat from his forehead and suggested sincerely, "Manager Shangqiu, the Blood Wolf Tribe is too powerful to be defeated. It is best to retreat to that hill and join forces with the enemy to defend."

"Guard our camp and don't make trouble. The Wild Bull Pavilion is only ninety miles away from the capital, but the Blood Wolf Tribe beastmaster has appeared with wild wolves and strange beasts. The city guards will definitely not sit idly by."

The short and fat merchant who had been hiding somewhere suddenly jumped out. He looked at the mess on the ground and the seven or eight dead drivers and servants. His eyes were filled with fear, but he pointed the finger at Qing Yi.
"If that kid hadn't killed the Blood Wolf Tribe's junior totem warriors, leading to the Blood Wolf Tribe's night attack, we wouldn't have suffered such a disaster. What is there to thank him for?"

"Haha, the dry bones in the tomb!"

Qing Yigen ignored the idea of ​​a dying man and felt the little fox pulling at his trouser legs, and kept shouting, "Ah Wu——"

This made Qing Yi alert immediately. He shot three wolf fang rune arrows in succession in the direction of the little fox's warning. Suddenly, several miserable wolf howls were heard from the slope of the hill.

"Good beast, he actually knows how to use tricks!" With the faint light of the fire, one could see that each of the three arrows shot to death an ordinary wild wolf.

It turned out that the wild wolves had attacked the caravan camp before just to attract the attention of everyone on the hill, and then another group of wild wolves hid in the shadows and lurked up with the intention of launching a sneak attack.

"Howling——"

The wild wolves lurking halfway up the hill discovered that their sneak attack had failed, and with a terrifying wolf howl, they pounced toward the top of the hill.

The leader of the pack, also a ninth-grade exotic wild wolf, leaped over the outer fire that was lighting the area.

A cold, cruel and brutal look came up and stared at Qing Yi. He opened his bloody mouth full of sharp fangs and pounced on him. A strong bloody smell gushed out, making people almost vomit.

"When shooting a person, shoot the horse first. When capturing a thief, capture the leader first. Today, we will capture and kill this wolf first!" Qing Yi slashed at the vital part of his neck with the long sword in his hand.

The ninth-rank wild wolf's eyes flashed with surprise. It didn't expect that the young boy in front of it would pose a threat of death to it.

"Kaka——"

In desperation, the wolf shrank its head, trying to use its hardest and sharpest fangs to block the sword. With a series of crisp collision sounds, the sharp fangs in the bloody mouth of this ninth-grade wild wolf were actually cut off on the right side.

"Ouch——"

The ninth-rank wild wolf's eyes became more and more vicious and violent, staring at Qing Yi with hatred. The beast's claws and fangs were its main combat output units, and now all the teeth on the right side were destroyed, which meant that the status of this wild wolf plummeted.

At this time, the wild wolf was in great pain. It wanted to take revenge but found that it was no match for Qing Yi. It wanted to escape but found that it could not.

Just when Qing Yi was about to win by force, a ninth-grade wild wolf rushed out from the side and rear. It was the one that had just been shot and escaped by him with the wolf-fang rune arrow.

Faced with the pincer attack from two ninth-grade exotic beasts, even if he had a greater strength advantage, he could not avoid being in a panic.

In desperation, Qing Yi kicked a copper pot beside the campfire backwards. The heavy copper pot and the boiling hot water hit the wild wolf that attacked from the side and rear. The wolf howled miserably and fled into the night with its tail between its legs.

When he was about to kill the wolf, he found that the wolf took the opportunity to escape, and in the end he only cut off a part of its tail.

Although he failed to kill any of the ninth-grade wild wolves, he was somewhat relieved that he had repelled the wolf pack's sneak attack.
