Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 125 Wolves
The wolf's front legs were pressed very low, its body was in a bow shape, and it was making strange howling sounds from its mouth.

It makes people feel that it can pounce on you at any time in an instant.

Qinglong, Dahua and Heibao, the three dogs rushed in front of their owner in an instant and barked at the wolf on the hillside.

While shouting, he also made an attacking gesture.

"Wolf, it's a wolf." Tiezhu was so scared that his legs went weak and he grabbed Qu Shaoyang's arm.

Qu Shaoyang frowned slightly and stretched out his hand to push away the iron pillar. "Hold your knife firmly and follow us. Don't run around or shout."

No, Tiezhu is too timid. I can’t take him up the mountain in the future. He won’t be of any help and will only cause trouble.

"Xingjia, your gun is loaded with grit and gunpowder, right?" Qu Shaoyang asked Xingjia in a low voice.

"Yes, when I came out of the shack this morning, I first heated up the gun, then loaded it with sand and powder."

Compared to Tiezhu, Xingjia was much calmer. After all, he had a gun in his hand, which was enough to give him courage.

"Okay, be careful, there might be wolves lying in ambush nearby.

When I shoot the wolf later, don't shoot yet.

While I am reloading, you shoot to cover me, and I will cover you while you load your gun after I have finished reloading."

The wolf in front of me is definitely not an ordinary wolf, it should be the wolf king.

If it is the wolf king, then there must be many wolves nearby and they have to be on guard.

Qu Shaoyang thought about it and realized that he had fifty bullets with him this time.

Xingjia had a lot of gunpowder and sand on him, but the gun was too troublesome to use. He had to reload the gunpowder and sand after each shot.

Moreover, if you fire too many times, the barrel may become too hot and dangerous.

I don't know how many wolves are on the opposite side, so I can't shoot easily in this situation.

Wolves are creatures with a very strong sense of revenge. If you fail to kill them all with a single shot, the remaining wolves will hide in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.

"Got it, don't worry, Boss." Xingjia nodded heavily and looked around, trying to find the wolves lying in ambush.

At this time, Qu Shaoyang had already taken off his gun, pulled the bolt, and aimed at the giant wolf opposite.

Just when Qu Shaoyang was about to pull the trigger, the giant wolf, which was lying on the ground, suddenly raised its body up, but did not pounce on Qu Shaoyang and the others.

Instead, he turned around and jumped into the woods on the left and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The giant wolf disappeared, and Tiezhu sat down on the snow all of a sudden. "Oh my god, this wolf is too big and scary."

Qu Shaoyang didn't respond, but just called Qinglong and the others to come back and told them not to chase after them.

Afterwards, Qu Shaoyang looked around and felt that something was not right.

"This is strange. Why did the wolf suddenly block us here? If it was hungry and wanted to eat people, why did it run away?"

"Maybe because they saw that we have guns and dogs, the wolves knew there was danger and ran away." Xingjia didn't understand and could only guess.

"No, it shouldn't be." Qu Shaoyang couldn't explain what was going on, he just felt it was strange.

"Tiezhu, get up and follow us up to take a look."

At this time, Tiezhu cannot be left alone there. What if something happens?
Tiezhu got up from the ground, tightly grasped the knife in his hand, and the three of them walked towards the hilltop in front.

Before the three of them took a few steps, Qu Shaoyang felt something was wrong. He looked up and saw a few wolves appearing on the hillside.

Looking back, they saw a number of wolves emerging from the woods behind them, with their heads lowered, quietly approaching them.

"Damn, we are surrounded by wolves." Qu Shaoyang felt a rush of blood to his forehead.

The giant wolf just now was deliberately stalling for time so that the other wolves could outflank us. This guy is really cunning. "Don't panic, come here, the three of us stand back to back. Qinglong, take Dahua and Heibao, go to the iron pillar and protect it."

While comforting the two men, Qu Shaoyang called out to the three dogs and asked them to go to the iron pillar.

Among the three people, only Tiezhu has no gun, which makes him the weak link. Now we can only let the dogs guard that side.

The wolves did not pounce on them immediately. Instead, they formed a circle around the three people and three dogs, and remained motionless.

Qu Shaoyang took advantage of the time to count the number of wolves in the pack.

There were five or six on the hillside, and seven or eight in the woods on both sides.

Those wolves were very cunning. They seemed to know the power of guns. As soon as Qu Shaoyang raised his gun, the wolves would hide behind the trees, leaving only half of their heads exposed to observe the movements here.

As soon as Qu Shaoyang and his men moved, the wolves immediately stood up and maintained the encirclement formation.

These wolves were well-trained and very difficult to deal with. Qu Shaoyang did not dare to act rashly for fear of hurting anyone.

But we couldn't just stand there and confront each other. Today there was no sun and it was cloudy, with a strong north wind. If we stood there motionless, our body would freeze and it would be even more difficult to cope with the situation.

"Tiezhu, Xingjia, let's move down the mountain little by little and go back." Qu Shaoyang said in a low voice.

I couldn't stand still, nor could I walk up the hillside, so I could only walk down the hill.

Only when they move can the wolves move, and only when the wolves move will there be flaws.

Sure enough, when the wolves saw Qu Shaoyang and the others moving, they also became nervous.

One by one, they lowered their heads and chests, ready to attack at any time, and moved little by little with Qu Shaoyang and the others.

Qu Shaoyang seized the opportunity and pulled the trigger.

There was a bang of a gunshot, followed by a howl from the opposite side. A wolf was shot and fell to the ground, twitching and howling.

When the other wolves saw this, they became angry and several of them rushed forward desperately.

Qu Shaoyang fired in succession, hitting three more wolves. Then, Xing Jia also fired a shot, and the gunshot shot out in a fan shape, injuring the two wolves on the opposite side.

When the remaining wolves saw this, they knew that Qu Shaoyang and Xingjia were not easy to deal with, so they immediately changed their formation and attacked Tiezhu instead.

Qu Shaoyang was quick-witted and quick-handed. He pulled Tiezhu behind Xingjia, then he moved to Tiezhu's position and fired three shots at the opposite side.

After three shots, two more wolves fell on the opposite side. At this time, there were eight wolves on the ground.

The remaining wolves did not run away, but maintained their formation. One of the wolves raised its neck and howled, "Oh, oh."

The howl of a wolf, with its small outgoing breath and large ingoing breath, is particularly creepy, especially at this time, it makes one's back go cold and the hair stand on end.

Qu Shaoyang aimed at the wolf and shot without saying a word, and the wolf's howling stopped abruptly.

However, there were responses of wolf howls from afar. It was the wolf king coming with other wolves.

From the howling of the wolves, it can be heard that the number of wolves in the pack is not small. Qu Shaoyang secretly said that it was not good and today was going to be difficult.

"Hurry, let's go down the mountain quickly." It is not advisable to stay here for long. We can only fight while moving. The closer to the village, the safer it is.

The three of them walked in unison and quickly went down the mountain.

The three dogs seemed to realize that something was wrong and did not run around. Instead, they cooperated very well, protecting the iron pillar and walking down the mountain together.

At this time, the wolf howling was getting closer.

Suddenly, a wolf jumped out from the woods nearby and pounced towards the iron pillar.
