She looked at Zhang Liu and said seriously: "Even if we are killed by wolves together, I will..."
Xiang Lingying didn't say anything else.
Because the howl of a wolf coming from the green pool was very loud and clear.
This is completely different from the previous situation where the wolf howl would echo for a long time and then slowly die out.
"This is a big trouble!" Feeling a sense of silent pressure, Zhang Liu whispered, "Maybe he was stimulated by the smell of blood."
His guess was indeed correct.
Normally, the wolves here would disperse during the day and look for food on their own.
For example, rabbits in the plains, birds and monkeys in the woods...
When they are bored, they will nibble on some delicious fruits of plants, and even juicy banana stems are within their reach.
Of course, as carnivorous animals, wolves will also hunt in groups in the goat jungle.
And at night, they will start group chats by howling.
Sending messages like:
"have you eaten?"
"Eating meat!"
"have you slept?"
"With your mother..."
This kind of signal.
Sometimes I would even yell so much that I wouldn’t have the energy to sleep.
But occasionally when they encounter food that they can gather together to hunt, such as several lone goats in an open area, the wolves will use howling to convey signals and gather together.
The wolf howling that Zhang Liu and Xiang Lingying heard was when a wolf was about to come over to drink water. It followed the smell of blood and discovered the extremely strong smell of blood inside the trap.
After it gives the prompt.
All the wolves stopped howling.
Instead, he slowly moved towards the place where the strong smell of blood was.
They were familiar with this route because it was the place where they drank water together from the late night to the early morning.
Chapter 404: Game Theory between Humans and Wolves (Monthly Ticket Rewards for Additional Chapter 9)
People really do have a sixth sense!
Although I only heard a very clear wolf howl.
But Zhang Liu instinctively understood that there were probably at least a dozen wolves gathering where the plain in front of him met the woods.
This number came from the number of wolves he saw last time.
Moreover, an inexplicable feeling of pressure made Zhang Liu feel uncomfortable all over.
There is not much firewood prepared at the Green Pool Shelter.
The reason why they are now wealthy enough to erect a defensive wall around them and set up a bonfire.
This was because when Xiang Lingying and the others came to spend the night, they ran to the nearby area again and dealt with them severely. And this afternoon, when Xiang Lingying finished making pottery, he also found a lot of trees nearby.
But after setting up the defensive circle, there was not much wood left around him, so Zhang Liu did not dare to light the fire too early.
If the wolves came after the fire was burned out, he would be doomed.
"one two Three……"
He calculated the time silently in his mind until he reached 600, which was about ten minutes. Zhang Liu could no longer bear the pressure in his heart. He said to Xiang Lingying who had been watching him, "Light the fire!"
Xiang Lingying, who was already overly nervous, was stunned for a few seconds, and then nodded to Zhang Liu.
She pulled a burning log from the fire and started to build a fire.
When setting up the fire, Zhang Liu deliberately placed the wood high up and put the small branches at the bottom in order to increase the efficiency of the fire and the degree of combustion.
Half a minute later, the four fires were completely burning, successfully illuminating the surrounding area of at least ten meters.
At the same time, it also caused the light to be reflected by a dozen yellow-brown pupils that were slowly approaching from dozens of meters away.
Among the group of yellow-brown pupils, there are two blue spots and several pale green spots.
"Zhang Liu!" Seeing this scene, Xiang Lingying subconsciously dropped the torch and walked to Zhang Liu. She never expected that the wolves were so close to her.
A sense of fear coming from deep in his genes made Xiang Lingying forget all the previous psychological preparations and start seeking protection from the strong people around him.
"It's okay, don't be afraid!"
Having reached this point, Zhang Liu was not that nervous or scared anymore.
After all, there are only two possibilities right now.
One is safe and sound.
The other is to just fight.
Standing in front of Xiang Lingying, he picked up a thick burning log from the fire and threw it forward as a warning.
Before, Zhang Liu had considered giving the entire sheep to the wolf pack in exchange for possible safety.
But he ultimately chose to reject the plan because Zhang Liu was unwilling to show weakness.
The jungle is a place where the strong prey on the weak. If I give in now, the next wolves' attack will most likely target other girls!
His responsibility as a man made him prefer to fight to the death with the wolf.
Nor will it let girls like Anya and Qin Ruoshuang get hurt!
The wood went out while it was flying in the air.
It didn't fly very far, it fell to the ground after just a dozen meters, and then shattered into charcoal debris.
The sparks flying during the process made it impossible to provide even basic lighting.
A bright object flew over, causing them to subconsciously scatter and hide as they were slowly approaching following the smell of blood.
Then the wolves looked at the two "giants" in front of them and did not dare to approach them.
They recognize the two in front of them...
To be precise, in the daily hunting process, except for the last encounter with the goat carcass, the wolves would consciously avoid these creatures that looked very tall.
The moonlight was very pleasant today. As the distance between the wolves shortened, Zhang Liu could already see their general situation.
All of them were staring straight at him.
His eyes were extremely creepy.
He picked up a piece of wood and banged it on the ground to make a series of noises as a warning. Then he shouted loudly: "Ouch..."
"what……"
Beside him, although Xiang Lingying didn't know why he was yelling, she also screamed very cooperatively.
The girl's unique high-pitched voice startled Zhang Liu and the wolves.
The tails of several wolves trembled violently.
Moreover, the scream could be heard far away in the night sky, and even had a long echo.
The wolf in the lead is probably the wolf king, and he is very large.
It was even three times larger than the goat Zhang Liu caught in the trap this time.
At this moment, it also felt that these guys in front of it were not easy to mess with.
First of all, fire is naturally intimidating to wolves.
Because their hunting habits are to approach quietly.
In darkness, this goal can even be achieved in plain areas.
But the light from the flames will make their previously hidden figures fully visible.
And if you look directly at the flashing light of the fire, your eyes will suffer from short-term visual impairment when walking at night.
This was something that the wolf could not understand at all.
In the jungle, if you don’t understand something, you should not touch it to prevent accidents.
At the same time, for any creature in the wilderness, a bushfire or prairie fire is almost a deadly and unsolvable situation.
These wolf packs exist because their ancestors managed to survive the occasional terrible fires.
The animal instinct that evolved during this period was to avoid fire. Even if it was a small-scale fire, they should not approach it casually!
It is for this reason that the wolves did not rush forward immediately, but moved slowly forward to check the situation.
At this moment, with the fire spreading and the terrible noise threats made by the two creatures in front of him, the leader wolf, whose stomach was already filled with food, had begun to consider whether to use tactics to evade.
The reason why it comes here.
I was notified only by hearing my companions' howling.
Thinking that there would be food falling from the sky like last time, the leader wolf wanted to eat a few more bites. However, facing the possibility of a war for food, the leader wolf didn't really want to do that.
After it stopped, the other wolves also stopped silently.
The few at the back just sat down and began to breathe out with their mouths open, as if they were trying to dissipate heat, but they did not stick out their tongues like dogs.
"These wolves look so fat..." Xiang Lingying suddenly said this in a low voice beside Zhang Liu, who was already on high alert and ready to throw burning wood as a means of attack again.
"what?"
After hearing Xiang Lingying's words, Zhang Liu was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted quickly.
What the other party said is indeed correct.
From the perspective of appearance, each of these wolves can indeed be called "fat"
Perhaps it is because it is a season when there is no shortage of food. Although the fur of each wolf is short, the color is extremely shiny.
It is simply the best material for wolfskin coats.
The wolf king that was closest to him even had a layer of hair on his body that glowed in the moonlight, which showed that he had stuffed himself with a lot of food.
Chapter 405: The First Eye-to-Eye Contact between Man and Beast
"Humph……"
Raising his head slightly, the Wolf King looked at Zhang Liu who was also staring at him fiercely. Then he snorted loudly, and his pair of dark blue wolf eyes were filled with arrogance and indifference.
Hearing the other party's voice and seeing the other party's cold look, Zhang Liu subconsciously clenched the fire hammer in his hand.
At this moment, the distance between him and the beast in front of him was so close that he could almost smell the fishy odor on it.
By the same token, the wolf king had already smelled the scent of the creature ahead.
Overall, it didn't smell like fear, but rather a threatening scent.
After taking another deep look at the other party, the Wolf King had already remembered the guy in front of him who had ruined his plans twice in front of him, and he also felt a little wary of him.
Under the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak, being wary of each other and keeping a distance is the best option.
The wolf king turned his head, unwilling to get into a conflict, and finally chose to turn around and slowly retreat. He retreated to the back of the wolf pack before turning around and leaving.
The lower back area is a weak point for any canine, so the wolf king naturally dare not expose it to any creature that makes him feel threatened.
As it took the lead in turning around, the other wolves also slowly retreated and then disappeared into the darkness. During the whole process, the wolves' footsteps were very soft, and almost no sound was made.
For Zhang Liu and Xiang Lingying, even if the wolves in front of them just took a random step, it would be full of thrilling feelings.
If they hadn't seen them evacuate with their own eyes, the two of them would have really been suffocated by the high-pressure and tense atmosphere in the air.
After a long time, even the moon in the sky gradually moved to the west.
The four fires around Zhang Liu and Xiang Lingying had also been extinguished.
But they still maintained a high-pressure, serious state, and were wary of everything around them.
There was no other sound around the Green Pool Shelter except the crackling of the burning campfire.
