Chapter 31 Returning After Departure!

"Look! They're here!"

At this moment, a cry of surprise rang out, and everyone looked closely. Several dark figures slowly appeared hundreds of meters away. The figures drew closer and closer, and finally, they joined the two wasteland wolves.

"one two three…"

The bald man squinted as he counted, "Eleven heads, plus the two from before, a total of eleven."

Everyone's hearts sank; in fact, they could see it even without the former saying it.

"Damn, that's a lot!"

Someone spat on the ground and cursed.

"Yeah, if it were seven or eight, we could manage, but eleven came all at once, which is a bit tricky. If we could have dealt with those two earlier, the pressure would be much less now."

"You saw it, Xiao Fan was planning to do that. Those two beasts are very clever."

"So what do we do now?"

Several gazes fell upon Chen Guodong.

Chen Fan was secretly sweating bullets.

This wilderness is indeed dangerous. If a lone person were to encounter these guys, they would probably be devoured until there are no bones left. Thinking of this, he gripped his longbow tightly, his palms sweating.

"Forget it."

Chen Guodong let out a breath and said.

Some people in the crowd breathed a sigh of relief, while others became excited.

"Guodong, they're just a dozen or so low-level ferocious beasts, what's there to be afraid of?" The speaker was a middle-aged man holding a short spear, his voice booming. "If they really come over, we can kill at least two or three of them with one volley of shots."

"Yes, Guodong, you can see that they are clearly wary of us and dare not make any rash moves."

"Guodong, if we bring this bull back, it'll be enough to feed the entire village for several days!"

"Gao Yang, I understand what you mean."

Chen Guodong looked at the man with the short spear. "Even if you kill two or three with one volley, there are still eight or nine left. In a one-on-one situation, can you guarantee that no one will get hurt?"

Gao Yang was taken aback.

"What if someone gets bitten and contracts rabies? Have you forgotten about the people who were injured before..."

Chen Guodong couldn't bear to continue.

"Old Gao, let's listen to Guodong."

The bald man patted him on the shoulder, "There aren't many people left in our village. If you can avoid taking risks, then don't."

Despite his reluctance, Gao Yang accepted the offer and put away his short spear.

The crowd's spirits plummeted; they had finally managed to get a bargain, only to have to give it up.

Chen Fan looked at the wolf pack in the distance, but a bold idea rose in his mind.

After reluctantly throwing down the cut pieces of barbarian beef, the hunting team quickly left. Of course, some people picked out a good piece of meat to take away, which Chen Guodong tacitly approved.

After the human figure gradually disappeared, more than ten desert wolves slowly approached the area.

Two or three wolves were the first to gnaw on chunks of meat, swallowing the flesh mixed with a large amount of blood.

The other wolves soon joined the battle, devouring their food, with the sound of bones being chewed occasionally escaping from their mouths.

Some of the diners, thoroughly enjoying their meal, even tilted their heads back and let out two long howls.

Unbeknownst to them, the group that had left earlier was crouching low, slowly and cautiously approaching them.

500 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters...

"Xiao Fan,"

The bald man, walking at the front, couldn't help but say, "Even if we come back, it's no use. At the speed of those beasts, two hundred pounds of bones and flesh will be reduced to a hundred pounds by now, we'll be lucky."

The others echoed this sentiment, while also remaining completely bewildered.

Chen Fan smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Liu, who said I came here for that cow?"

"!"

The bald man stopped abruptly, turned around abruptly, and stared wide-eyed. "Could it be that you want to...?"

"That's right."

Chen Fan nodded. "I'd like to see if there's a chance to ambush them? If there is, we can take the wolf meat back to eat, right?"

"hiss…"

Everyone, including Chen Guodong, gasped in shock.

How despicable! No, how cunning!

Let alone the other party being a bunch of beasts, even a human might not have imagined that they would come back.

And Xiao Fan is right, wolf meat can indeed be taken back and eaten. Dragon meat in the sky, dog meat on the ground, the taste of wolf meat is almost the same as dog meat, and it tastes very good.

Especially Gao Yang, who had looked unwilling just now, became excited and his face turned red after hearing Chen Fan's words.

That's more like it!

To be human and have one's prey stolen by a bunch of beasts is an utter disgrace!

Of course, Chen Fan wasn't acting rashly. Seeing that they were less than two hundred meters away, he lowered his voice and said, "The wind is blowing from the direction of the wolves towards us, so the probability of them being able to smell us is not high."

If I can get within 100 meters, I'm confident I can shoot and kill at least four steppe wolves in the shortest amount of time. As for the remaining seven, uncles, are you confident you can take them down without getting injured?

"have."

Gao Yang immediately said, "If these seven beasts dare to charge over, we can take down at least two or three of them within twenty meters with a single volley of shots. We've dealt with them quite a few times before; although they're fast, they're not so fast that we can't see them."

"That's right, if the remaining wolves try to charge, they'll be shot."

"Hmph, I guarantee I'll wipe them out completely."

Chen Guodong was also quite tempted. With a two- or three-meter-long spear, a single person would have a very high chance of winning against a single wasteland wolf! Firstly, there was the advantage of the long reach, and secondly, these beasts were stupid enough to regard the spear as part of the human body and attack the spear itself.

Not to mention, there were seven or eight of them attacking together.

But he remained calm and asked, "Xiao Fan, are you really confident you can shoot down all four?"

All eyes turned to them.

Yes, that's the core of the plan; otherwise, if a mistake is made, there could be casualties.

"Okay, leave it to me."

Chen Fan nodded; the distance had closed to within 150 meters.

He quietly switched from the eighty-pound bow he was carrying on his back, took out an arrow with his right hand, and bent forward.

As they drew closer, the chewing sounds from not far away became so clear.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats.

This was the first time they had ever ambushed a wolf pack. They were so nervous that they could hear their own heartbeats. There were definitely risks involved, but without taking risks, how could they expect to gain anything?

130 meters

One hundred and ten meters.

One hundred meters.

A few of them, though aware of the danger, raised their heads to sniff the surroundings. Unfortunately, the smell of blood was too strong, so they hesitated for a moment, then lowered their heads again and tore off a large piece of flesh from their prey.

"Xiao Fan, we've reached a hundred meters, haven't we?" the bald man asked anxiously.

"Uncle Liu, come a little closer."

Chen Fan gritted his teeth and said.

One hundred meters is not the optimal firing range.

It's best to go up to 80 meters.

Of course, if he is discovered in advance, he will immediately spring into action, draw his bow and arrow.

In those few short seconds, everyone's hearts were in their throats; the distance of ten or twenty meters felt like several kilometers.

Until Chen Fan's voice rang out.

"Alright, Uncle Liu, this is fine."
