"Stop looking down, hurry up!"

In the short time it took Lu Yao to look up, a wolf had already seized the opportunity and come up from the bushes.

Lu Yao held the gun in one hand and knocked it down with a "bang".

Ding Mei was so frightened that she scrambled up on her feet.

Ignoring the fact that Lu Yao could see her buttocks from below, she wrapped her legs around the tree branch and dared not move.

Lu Yao fired two more shots into the bushes.

He then swung the gun behind his back and climbed back up the tree.

The speed of their movements made Imana envious once again.

The three continued climbing, stabilizing themselves about seven or eight meters above the ground.

Here the tree branches out, making it much more stable to sit on.

As I looked further down, I broke out in a cold sweat.

From this angle, you can clearly see the pack of wolves hiding in the dry grass below.

They came in small groups of a dozen or so from all directions toward the big tree.

There are at least five or six small groups, which is about seventy or eighty birds.

Including those that came from the snowy field outside, there must have been at least 120 wolves.

It is not common for such a large pack of wolves to hunt together.

However, this year's heavy snow has covered the mountains, making it difficult for them to find food, so perhaps they formed a temporary group!

This might be the large pack of wolves that Lu Yao just ran away from, brought back with them.

In short, they are now trapped by wolves and have no chance of leaving the tree.

The alpha wolf of a small pack let out a roar.

Several gray wolves actually came over and started gnawing on the roots of the big tree.

They're trying to knock this tree down.

All three people's eyes were drawn to the wolf gnawing on the tree.

Seeing that they weren't very effective, I felt a little relieved.

Lu Yao suddenly thought of something.

Wolves are masters of disguise and cover before launching a surprise attack.

Quickly turn around and look at the other side of the tree.

Sure enough, several wolves were climbing the tree in a human pyramid shape. The one at the top suddenly leaped and almost reached Imana's little boots.

"Bang bang bang"

Lu Yao fired several shots in succession, and the wolf pack abandoned several corpses and retreated into the bushes.

Although Lu Yao could still shoot them from this angle.

However, the wolves were already starving, and the gunshots wouldn't scare them away. So, they didn't have enough bullets and needed to conserve their strength and observe the situation before making a decision.

Ten minutes or so passed.

The wolves outside the woods have all come in.

They were scattered in groups, forming more than a dozen small groups.

They might be behind a tree, in the grass, or behind a rock.

Everyone find cover and surround the tree.

They didn't get too close, but they didn't leave either!

Clearly, he both wanted to eat people and was somewhat afraid of Lu Yao's gun.

As Ding Mei watched the wolves below grow larger and larger, she trembled with fear, tears streaming down her face as she looked at Lu Yao:

"Hey kid, what should we do?"

Even the domineering Ding Mei can be afraid.

Imana, on the other hand, was much calmer.

The girl from the hunting tribe has developed a strong mentality due to her experiences growing up.

She glanced at the seven bullets she still had in her hand and looked at Lu Yao:

How much do you have left?

Lu Yao had already planned this out.

I brought fifty bullets with me, and after killing a few wolves, I now have forty-two bullets left.

Even if the two of them were to hit every single bullet perfectly, they still wouldn't be able to kill half of them.

If all the bullets are used up and the remaining wolves still surround you, then you're doomed.

Lu Yao calmly analyzed:

"Wolves have a lot of patience, so we can't expect them to leave on their own. This is deep in the mountains and forests, and hunting teams rarely come here. We can't rely on being rescued either, so we have to break out before dark."

Looking at the fierce faces below, Ding Mei shook her head:

"How could they possibly break through? They're not afraid of guns anymore."

Lu Yao looked at her frightened little face: "Wipe your tears, don't let your face get cold."

Ding Mei then realized that she was in tears.

Quickly wipe it vigorously with the sleeve of your cotton-padded jacket.

She didn't want to appear timid in front of Lu Yao, especially since there were other girls present.

Lu Yao stared down, calmly analyzing the situation:

"Wolf packs have an alpha wolf system. If we find the alpha wolf to shoot, its death will inevitably cause temporary chaos. If we can clear a path on the south side, then cross the forest to the outside, wolves are afraid of light and are timid in bright sunlight. If we gradually retreat, it might work!"

"Perhaps? Then it's not certain?"

Ding Mei questioned Lu Yao's actions.

At this point, one wrong decision could mean certain death.

The thought of being bitten to death and dismembered by so many wolves sent chills down Ding Mei's spine.

"We have to try, whether it works or not. We can't just sit here and wait to die! Even if the wolves can't climb the trees by nightfall, we'll still freeze to death!"

The temperature on the mountain depends on the amount of sunlight.

Therefore, the temperature difference between day and night should be ten to twenty degrees Celsius.

In the low temperatures of over 40 degrees Celsius at night, it's clearly unsustainable to remain motionless in a tree.

Lu Yao stared down, observing who the alpha wolf of each wolf pack was.

Imana said, "We can make some fire and smoke, and the wolves will be too afraid to come near."

"Alright, you and Ding Mei cut down some branches to prepare. Wait for my orders!"

At this time, Lu Yao was the backbone of the three-person group.

Even though Imana grew up hunting, she felt that only by listening to him could she survive.

While Imana and Ding Mei were cutting down tree branches, Lu Yao fired several shots, killing the alpha wolves of several squads.

But the wolf pack immediately began to hide, moving further away.

They are unlikely to be exposed to gunfire.

It will take quite a while before you have a chance to kill another one.

More than an hour has passed.

The three people who didn't exercise were already feeling the biting cold wind and were quite chilled to the bone.

"I have to go, or my legs will go numb!"

Lu Yao turned to look at the torches the two of them had made from their headscarves.

Without oil, it's hard to ignite and will only produce smoke.

You need dry branches.

Imana drew her dagger and said to Lu Yao:

"You provide cover with your gun, I'll go down and cut down some dry branches."

"I'll go..."

"No, your marksmanship is better than mine!"

With that, Imana turned and slid down from the tree.

The nearby wolf pack reacted immediately.

Several wolves approached, using the bushes for cover.

"Bang bang bang"

Lu Yao dared not be careless and fired shot after shot.

Ding Mei also drew her bow and shot arrows, and even though she wasn't strong enough, she was able to wound the gray wolf.

Imana quickly cut off dead branches from the dry tree under the tree.

"Ding Mei, you go down too and help her make a torch."

Ding Mei was a little hesitant; her legs were even trembling slightly, but she didn't want to be looked down upon.

Despite the tingling sensation running down my spine, I still slid down the tree branch.

With the safety of two people on his shoulders, Lu Yao used the advantage of being on a tree branch to take shots at the hungry wolves that tried to approach.

The wolves were initially afraid of the gunshots, but their unbearable hunger drove them to keep moving closer.

Lu Yao fired while observing.

A distinctive howl could be heard, and the wolf pack seemed to be moving in rhythm with it.

Follow the sound.

Behind a strange rock in the distant grass, a pair of menacing red eyes gleamed.

Immediately, a huge male wolf jumped out.

He glared fiercely at Lu Yao.

That look in your eyes seems familiar.

Could it be the male wolf that entered the village that night?

Because wolves of such a large size are really rare.

I never expected that they would gather so many of their kind together after just two days.

Moreover, it appears to hold a very prestigious position within the wolf pack.

Its howl seemed to be the driving force behind the entire wolf pack.

Lu Yao raised his gun and aimed.

The male wolf vanished behind a rock in a flash.

What a clever fellow!

Lu Yao dared not be distracted in looking for an opportunity to shoot it, because another wolf was approaching from behind the big tree.

With the two girls in the tree providing cover as torches, it became impossible to guarantee that every shot would hit the wolf's head.

Shoot anyone who comes near.

After twenty-odd shots, at most seven or eight wolves were eliminated.

There were only about ten wounded ones left.

Seeing that their firepower was insufficient to suppress the approaching wolves, they realized that their firepower was not enough.

At this moment, Imana looked up and called out to Lu Yao:

"It's all done!"

Lu Yao looked down.

Ding Mei had already lit the weeds with a match, and then used the weeds to light the dry branches.

They then lit the torch that had been wrapped in a headscarf.

In an instant, thick smoke billowed out, choking Lu Yao, who was coughing in the tree.
