"So what should we do now? Continue forward to find out if there is a Shadow Sabretooth Tiger's nest ahead?" Stella was a little anxious, and she obviously didn't want to waste time here.

Link shook his head and rejected her idea. "It's getting dark. We can't find the lair of the Shadow Sabertooth Tiger and kill it before dark. Moreover, even if we find the lair, we may not be able to kill the Shadow Sabertooth Tiger in time. If those lurking enemies choose to attack at night, we will be caught in a situation of being attacked from both sides."

"What should we do then?" Stella asked anxiously.

Although she has a straightforward personality, she seemed a little at a loss at this critical moment.

Link pointed to a cliff not far away and said, "Let's set up camp first. There is a cliff over there. We can build the camp with our backs against the cliff. This way, at least we won't be attacked from both sides. Let's just get through tonight first!"

"Okay! I'll listen to you!" Stella agreed immediately.

She knew very well that at times like this, staying calm and rational was the most important thing.

It doesn't matter if we delay a little, it is better than being attacked from both sides.

When night falls, the field of vision decreases. If we are defeated one by one by the enemy, then everyone will die.

Led by Link, the six people acted quickly.

They came to the foot of the cliff and began to set up camp.

In the busy process, they unconsciously centered around Link and followed his commands and arrangements.

Link not only possesses excellent combat skills and judgment, but also has convincing leadership and wisdom. Unknowingly, he has become the backbone of this team.

95. Fierce Battle

The camp was quickly built by everyone's joint efforts. The last rays of sunset shone on the busy figures, adding a touch of warm color to this land that was about to usher in the night.

Link considerately took out a packet of mosquito repellent powder from his backpack and gently sprinkled it around his and Violina's tent. At least tonight, they would not be harassed by mosquitoes and the like.

"Link, I want one too!"

A charming voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Link's actions.

Lillian, the fairy-like magician in the team, twisted her waist and approached Link in an almost seductive manner.

She reached out her hand and gently placed it on Link's arm, with a sly gleam in her eyes, as if to say, "You can't be partial."

Link smiled helplessly. He knew Lillian's personality very well, so he handed the powder in his hand to her: "Here, here, don't use me as a shield."

There was a hint of helplessness in his tone, however, this scene happened to be seen by the swordsman not far away, his eyes instantly became hot, as if there were flames flickering.

He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, as if ready to rush up and fight Link at any time to protect the "princess" in his heart.

But at this moment, Stella glared at him coldly with eyes as sharp as a knife.

The swordsman shuddered all over and had to hold his breath. He angrily retracted the sword he was about to draw and turned away.

Lillian took the powder and saw the swordsman turning away. A smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she did not loosen her hand holding Link.

"Oh my, you found out. That guy is so annoying. He pesters me every day. How come you are not interested in me? That's right!"

She seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and a cunning look flashed in her eyes. "Your teammate's name is... Yes! Violena, right? Her figure is no weaker than mine. No wonder you are so cold to me!"

Link couldn't help but feel a little amused when he heard this.

He tried to pull his hand out of Lillian's "gentle trap", but she stuck to him like a piece of taffy.

"What...?" Lillian's voice suddenly became low and seductive, with a hint of cunning in her eyes, "You're not... not able to do it?"

These words were like a bolt of lightning, instantly igniting the anger in Link's heart.

His eyes widened and his breathing became rapid.

As a man, being questioned as "incompetent" is undoubtedly the biggest insult to him.

"I'll show you whether I can do it or not!"

Link yelled angrily and raised his hand to take action, but Lillian was like a cunning fox. She had already foreseen his reaction and ran away, leaving Link staring at the spot and shaking his head helplessly.

"Really... I was teased by a little girl..."

Link muttered to himself, but he wasn't really angry.

On the contrary, this relaxed and cheerful atmosphere gave his tense nerves some relief.

However, jokes aside, Link knew very well what challenges they would face after nightfall.

He looked up at the sky which was gradually getting darker, and thought to himself, if his prediction was correct, or if his intuition was correct, there would be a big battle tonight.

His intuition was always accurate, and Link believed in it.

Thinking of this, Link's expression became solemn. He turned and walked towards the crowd, and began to arrange the night watch. With Link's reminder, everyone became more cautious and said that they would be more vigilant to ensure a safe night.

As the sky was completely swallowed by darkness, the area around the camp became silent.

Everyone followed Link's arrangement and began to take turns to keep watch in an orderly manner, with each person keeping watch for one hour to ensure the safety of the camp.

In the first half of the night, everyone remained highly alert. Any slight movement or sound in the distance would immediately attract their attention.

However, as time passed, there was still no unusual noise coming from outside.

Gradually, everyone's vigilance began to relax, and fatigue set in.

The few people who had finished their night watch earlier fell into a deep sleep soon after returning to the tent, as if they didn't even have time to dream.

Only Link did not sleep all night.

After finishing his shift, he did not return to the tent to rest, but sat in the tent and meditated with his eyes closed.

His spiritual perception was released outward, as if there were invisible tentacles groping in the darkness, constantly observing the situation around the camp.

Link knows very well that in this world full of unknowns and dangers, any negligence may lead to fatal consequences.

The one who was on duty for the last night was the female boxer, a girl who was a bit introverted but very agile.

At this moment, she also looked a little tired and relaxed.

"Tsk, they're still attacking and it's almost dawn. The captain really hired a piece of crap!" When she was switching shifts with the swordsman, the swordsman complained to her in a low voice.

"Stop talking. He's doing this for the good of the team. You should go to sleep." The boxer girl consoled.

These words did not escape Link's ears, but he ignored their complaints. He knew in his heart that the current situation did not allow for any negligence.

He continued to remain in a meditative state, his mental perception like a large net covering the entire camp.

About half an hour later, Link suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes!

Danger is coming!

The female boxer who was on guard seemed to be in a hurry and wanted to go to the toilet.

Maybe she was worried about disturbing everyone, or maybe she was careless, so she didn't go back to find someone to form a team and accompany her as Link had requested. Instead, she chose to run away alone into the bushes downwind.

After taking off her pants and hearing a splash of water, the female boxer was just about to pull up her pants and stand up when suddenly, several dark shadows rushed out from the woods like ghosts and knocked her to the ground without any preparation.

Under the dim moonlight, the female boxer was horrified to see that they were actually several Swift Wolves with agile bodies and bloodthirsty eyes!

They opened their bloody mouths, revealing their sharp fangs, as if they wanted to eat her alive.

In a panic, the boxer girl had to block with her arms, but almost in an instant, her arms were cut by the sharp claws of the Wind Wolf, and her skin was torn and bleeding.

“Ahhh!! Help!!”

The intense and piercing pain made her scream out.

But at the same time, the other three bloody mouths had already bitten her neck, thighs and other parts fiercely.

The girl could even smell the stench in the air; it was the breath of death!

Faced with death, the girl's heart was filled with fear and despair.

She regretted her carelessness and not following Link's arrangements. She did not call anyone when she went to the toilet, but left the camp alone.

Now, it was too late, death was waving at her, and she seemed to have seen the cruel and ruthless smile of the god of death.

However, at this critical moment, a muffled sound pierced the night sky.

A heavy shield flew like a meteor and hit one of the Wind Wolves hard, knocking it away.

Then, what seemed to be some canine animal screamed, and then hot and smelly blood splashed all over the girl's face.

Everything happened in an instant, so fast that people could not react.

The girl widened her eyes in astonishment, and saw a figure in black armor appear before her under the moonlight like a savior, and the strange sword in his hand suddenly burst into flames.

It's Link!

"Hey, if you're still alive, can you do me a favor? Go back and wake up those idiots."

"I'm sorry...I...I'll be there right away!"

The boxer girl rolled and crawled to pull up her pants, and regardless of the pain on her body and the blood on her face, she ran back to the camp with all her might.

She knew that it was Link who saved her life, and she had to go back as soon as possible to inform the others and have them prepare.

Haha, it looks like a fat abalone~

Link naturally saw a beautiful scenery, but now he had no time to appreciate it carefully. No less than twenty pairs of golden animal eyes were flashing in the darkness. They were the eyes of the Wind Wolves. They were bloodthirsty and full of murderous intent, as if they were going to devour the entire camp.

Link narrowed his eyes. He did not choose to confront the group of Wind Wolves directly. Instead, he quickly picked up the shield on the ground and held it in front of him. He held the Skyfire Greatsword and looked around vigilantly. He slowly retreated, allowing himself to gradually return to the light of the camp's fire.

Perhaps it was because the Skyfire Greatsword in Link's hand was too intimidating, the group of Wind Wolves did not attack immediately, but instead pressed Link out of the bushes and surrounded the entire camp.

Their growls and gasps echoed in the night sky, as if announcing their arrival.

At the shouts of the boxer girl, everyone who was sleeping in the camp was awakened.

They hurried out with their weapons in hand, and were stunned when they saw the Wind Wolves surrounding the camp.

Lillian's voice came faintly: "Link, you really have a good mouth. They are really Wind Wolves, and a large group of them!"

There was a hint of surprise and teasing in her tone, but more of it was admiration for Link's intuition.

Link couldn't help but click his tongue and chuckled to himself.

He was just saying it casually in the bar at the time, just as an analogy, but he didn't expect it to come true.

Both the Wind Wolf and the Shadow Sabretooth Tiger were right!

This mouth is really fucking enlightened!

However, now is not the time to feel sentimental, they must come up with a strategy as soon as possible to deal with the attack of this group of Gale Wolves.

"I can only hold back a few at a time, so you guys better be careful!" There are too many people now, and Link is not going to show his full strength. It will be enough for him to protect Violina.

Listening to Link's words, everyone looked solemn.

A single Wind Wolf may not be a match for a Shadow Sabretooth Tiger, but if there are a group of them, even a Shadow Sabretooth Tiger will have to run away with its tail between its legs.

In the darkness of the night, the roars of the wind wolves rose and fell.

They seemed to be provoking, and also seemed to be announcing the beginning of the battle.

Link and the others held their weapons tightly, ready for battle.

They knew that tonight would be a fierce battle.

96. Mantis stalks the cicada

Stella and the others stared at the frightening monsters in front of them, their throats seemed to be blocked by something, and they were unable to speak for a while.

Even Link was a little surprised. Each of these Wind Wolves was incredibly huge, several times larger than the largest Tibetan Mastiff Link had ever seen.

Not only are they huge in size, but they are also extremely agile, and their cunning eyes flash with the wildness and wisdom of wolves.

They cooperate with each other and advance and retreat in moderation, which is completely different from those tusk boars that only know how to charge blindly.

Just now, when he was rescuing the boxer girl, he took the opportunity to kill a wind wolf, but that was just taking advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness.

Now, facing these cunning and ferocious wolves, even Link needs to be extra careful, otherwise he is likely to get hurt.

The man and the wolf were in a stalemate, confronting each other, with a tense and oppressive atmosphere in the air. It was extremely quiet all around, and only the heavy breathing of both sides and the occasional roar of wild beasts in the distance could be heard. This silent contest made people feel cold.

Suddenly, the torches standing next to the camp made a slight crackling sound due to the heat, and the wood chips cracked and sparks flew.

This subtle sound seemed particularly harsh in the quiet night, as if it broke some kind of balance.

"Ouch!! Ouch!"
