Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The wolf pack became restless a moment later, and each wolf was howling miserably. Some even began to escape up the mountain, ignoring the alpha’s orders.
This time, the crowd could clearly see the number of wolves. Someone immediately cursed, “Damn it, including the ones in the trap; there are at least a hundred wolves. This is a big wolf pack.”
“Indeed, it seems like we really have to be careful.”
When everyone thought the wolves had retreated, the alpha wolf raised its head and howled. Although they did not know what it meant, the retreating wolves suddenly stopped and retreated to the vicinity of the Mother God Temple to rest and reorganize.
“Oh no, they’re going to be here for an extended time.” The patriarch cried out in alarm.
The alpha wolf was also cursing internally. Two days ago, when it attacked the sheep farm, it encountered that thing that choked its wolf. Today, it encountered it again; such unlucky timing.
However, it was impossible for them to retreat. The wolves under its command had not eaten properly for several days. If delayed any longer, they were likely to kill each other.
For the sake of the alpha wolf’s prestige and the stability of the wolf pack, they had to attack today.
At least there were no bows and arrows here, so the wolves could wait for the smell to dissipate before attacking again.
Thinking of this, the alpha quickly strode around the forest and decided on an attack plan.
After about half an hour, Gu Chengrui saw that the wolves had no intention of retreating and immediately said, “Whoever has a bow and arrow, go home and take it. Also, bring oil or any strong wine you have.”
“By the way, Uncle, is there any waste oil in the oil mill?” Gu Chengrui asked.
“No, the bitter part of the oil was shared with the others.” The patriarch shook his head.
Oil was always a necessity, not to mention during a drought; even fried pancake residue could not be found these days.
“One person from each family,” he continued. “Bring something that can be quickly ignited from your home. Let’s fight the wolves together.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Ying. “Zhou Ying, go and prepare some more chili powder.”
“Alright,” Zhou Ying responded and told Gu Chengrui of her task She then turned around and walked home.
When she got home, she took out a bag weighing about 10 pounds from her interspace and a jar of 140-proof sorghum wine.
When she returned, there was a lot of firewood, wheat straw, and rotten branches on the ground along the trench.
She gave the tear-inducing powder to Qian Shisan and handed the alcohol to the patriarch, saying, “Uncle, this is high-proof alcohol, and it will catch fire quickly.”
“Alright, leave the rest to me. You step back.” The patriarch replied, then scattered the alcohol on the firewood bit by bit.
The rest of the alcohol was made into torches.
In the end, Gu Chengrui took out a packet of knockout powder and scattered it on the firewood. “These knockout powders should be able to repel some of the wolves. Let’s retreat a little.”
“Alright, everyone, retreat to the village.” After the patriarch finished ordering, they retreated a mile into the village.
The alpha wolf on the opposite side saw their actions and smelled the alcohol, becoming increasingly anxious.
It knew that everything they had set up was to deal with them, but it didn’t know what they were doing.
As for flammables like alcohol, they could smell them but didn’t know what they were.
After that, it raised its head and howled a few times. The green eyes moved quickly and then spread out to surround the village.
In the river, there were the most wolves. There was no water in the river, so they quickly went down the mountain along the river.
On the contrary, very few wolves attacked from the front, but the alpha wolf led the pack.
“Oh no, we miscalculated. This alpha wolf is too cunning.” The patriarch said..
