Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 17 Wolves
"Now, we can start thinking about how to get through smoothly."

Thinking this, Li Wei continued to cultivate the farmland. When he returned to the camp at dusk, he suddenly saw a gray mist drifting by outside the camp. A few seconds later, a man's figure appeared in the mist. He was about twenty years old, also very thin, but taller than Li Wei.

Without a doubt, this is the new player, Penny's fiancé, Sam!

"Sam! You're finally here. I thought you were dead. I'm so happy!"

At this moment, Penny, like a little bird, threw herself into the man's arms, kissing him passionately and showering him with affection, probably trying to remind the new player of the relationship between them.

The man named Sam was still completely bewildered, just like Li Wei had been when he first arrived.

Logically, he should have received a notification by now, and at the very least, he should be on guard.

But the next second, Li Wei heard the new player say:
"Who are you? Why am I here? Is this the world of the Supreme God's Reincarnation? Are you a veteran or an NPC? Why am I called Sam?"

His words were like popping beans, or like a heavy machine gun firing; Penny couldn't stop him in time, and even her frantic attempts to signal him were useless.

Didn't this guy see the warning message?

But the next second, the kid's face turned as ugly as dog poop.

Yes, there's no elimination, but there will definitely be penalties.

He fell silent, looking with terrified eyes at Penny, then at Li Wei, and finally at Fila, who was indifferent and only wore a kind smile. He was at a loss.

“Sam, this is my mom Fila, and this is my brother George. From now on, we are a family. It’s a pity that our father is gone, otherwise he would be very happy to see us get married, have children, and grow our family.”

Penny gripped the new player's hand tightly, squeezing it until his face turned blue. Penny was now capable of chopping down ten trees a day, and her hands were as hard as iron palms.

This almost cheat-like hint finally made the new player realize the truth. Although Penny might be punished for this spoiler, it was probably worth it.

Until Sam figured out the core logic of how the mission worked, he was Penny's little wolfhound.

"Let's go!"

Before Sam could say anything more, Penny pulled him into the house, and soon after, inappropriate sounds began to emanate from the room.

So fierce!

That's really ruthless!
This is the legendary Yu Ji forcing herself on Yu Ji, right?

Li Wei did not return to the house. He had just finished sowing the seeds today. Since there was no fence, he had to keep watch at night to prevent small animals from digging up the seeds he had just buried in the soil. Although he was not sure if such a thing would happen, he was better off not doing it than doing it.

As the night deepens,

Li Wei lit three bonfires at the edge of the farmland and prepared enough firewood.

Thanks to Penny's frantic logging during this period, the family has a lot of firewood, enough to last for several months.

Holding two wooden spears, Li Wei patrolled the area illuminated by the campfire. The surroundings were not very quiet; the chirping of insects rose and fell, along with the whistling of the mountain wind through the forest. Occasionally, a wild beast's howl could be heard in the distance, and a few bats flew swiftly across the night sky, adding a touch of mystery and the unknown to the night.

Li Wei felt a little hesitant. This was a public wheat field; he didn't need to work so hard and struggle.

However, this thought quickly faded away because he still wanted to complete the game, and the newly planted wheat field was almost a favorite of the small animals.

Farmland produce is the most important support for surviving the winter. He can't be careless if he wants to improve his pass rating.

He glanced back at the campsite and could vaguely see the light of the campfire behind the wall, as well as the wall itself, which inexplicably gave him a sense of security.

That's right. Although he didn't get along with Penny, Li Wei still admired her quite a bit, because the fact that the wall looked so sturdy gave him more courage to keep watch and patrol at night.

Just as he was thinking this, Li Wei glanced ahead and instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Just a few dozen meters to his right, at the edge of the wheat field, by the faint light of the fire, he actually saw a pair of bright green eyes.

Then came the second pair, and the third pair.

At that moment, his hair stood on end. His first thought was that it was a ghost, but his second thought was that it might be a wolf!
The third thought was about wolf packs.

This time, Li Wei was neither scared to death nor paralyzed with fear. He ran straight to his own wheat field a few steps away, where there was not only a bonfire burning brightly, but also a wooden fence.

Almost at the moment he started running, the wolves also coordinated their approach, as if they had seen through Li Wei's weakness.

But they soon stopped, because Li Wei had already leaned against the fence, with a roaring campfire beside him, holding a wooden spear, looking fierce and menacing. At this moment, he was ready to fight to the death.

Dark shadows kept flashing by on the other side; these wolves were searching for a direction to attack.

But it's impossible to find. Behind Li Wei's wheat field fence is the wall that Penny built. After dark, even the entrance is blocked, and the cow is in the cowshed.

Therefore, Li Wei doesn't need to worry about his future.

This so-called wolf pack appears to consist of only five wolves.

They remained in this silent standoff for about half an hour. Faced with Li Wei's wooden spear and the blazing campfire, they ultimately did not launch an attack, but simply disappeared into the darkness without a sound, as if they had never been there.

Li Wei was truly terrified.

They didn't even dare to patrol the wheat fields anymore; they just hid by the fire, pricked up their ears, and didn't dare to move an inch.

It was a long night, but nothing happened in the end. Thanks to the three campfires, no small animals ran in, at least Li Wei didn't see any.

As dawn broke, the sound of Fila cooking came from the yard. Li Wei returned to find Penny and her fiancé Sam already up and starting to build a brick kiln in the yard. They seemed to want to try building a small blast furnace for iron smelting. It can only be said that the potential of a professional craftsman is beyond the comprehension of a farmer.

She has completed the tasks assigned by the head of the household and is now on her own. All the results of her work belong to her personally.

In fact, her plan to develop handicrafts was delayed for about half a month, but the initial losses were not significant, and she even accumulated a batch of completely dried brick blanks.

At this moment, Penny was skillfully operating the machine. As expected of a professional craftswoman, this time, it should be successful.

Li Wei felt a little envious, but all she could do was envy.

Penny's fiancé, Sam, assisted her, and although he was a bit flustered and not quite used to it, he was very proactive, which clearly triggered positive feedback.

Li Wei was quite looking forward to seeing the kid's expression when he discovered that none of them were natives.
