Chapter 37: Wolf's Raid

  The night in the mountains is very quiet. At this time of year, the freezing period in the north has not yet passed, and insects and animals are still hibernating or have frozen to death, leaving only birds such as eagles and magpies that can withstand the cold, which are still active in the forest.

  In the jungle, a wolf was walking alone, its gray and white fur had become sparse, and even several teeth had fallen out, it should be an old wolf.

  Old wolves, strong bears, are called the most troublesome opponents by hunters. Because although old wolves have much less strength than before, they are more cunning and harder to deal with.

  Under the moonlight, the old wolf's belly drooped down, and with each movement, its shriveled testicles could be seen swinging back and forth.

  It was originally a mother wolf.

  Since she disobeyed the wolf king's intention, she was expelled from the pack and could only live alone in the forest. Without the protection of the pack, not only did she have fewer prey than before, but she also often had the danger of becoming someone else's prey. So she can only come to the edge of this mountain and live carefully.

  It's winter now, and prey is much scarcer. Although it has been wandering around for half a day, it hasn't caught any prey for several days. If this continues, it will be difficult for her to get through this cold period.

  Suddenly, the old wolf stopped in its tracks, its erect ears turning left and right, its nose sniffing non-stop. Finally, it confirmed the direction of its prey, and with a powerful thrust of its long hind legs, it darted into the thicket and lay down quietly, waiting for its target to arrive.

  Through the sparse withered grass, the old wolf's emerald eyes shone with tenacity and perseverance.

  At last a small dot appeared in the old wolf's line of sight, the small dot was jumping like a bullet, quickly approaching, and the old wolf could already see what it was.

  When she saw that there were dozens of people coming, the old wolf's body, which was originally ready to pounce out, stopped. She hesitated, seemingly considering something, and the number of people in front of her was too many, far exceeding her ability to cope. If she went out, she would probably die even faster.

  Looking at the line of people who had already passed in front of him, if he didn't act now, there would be no more opportunities. The old wolf looked at his own shriveled belly, seemingly making up his mind, and darted out from the grass thicket, lightning-fast towards the last person in the group with empty hands.

  This group of people was Qin Yang and his party, they set out at dusk, along this mountain road to Lhasa Cave. Because this road has to pass through many areas occupied by the Japanese puppet army, they usually march at night, which is more hidden.

  The one walking at the end with empty hands was Wan Laiyin. His long knife was usually put into a package and carried on his back, and he wasn't used to using guns, so he had nothing in his hands.

  Wan Leng's voice walked on one side, pondering something, occasionally stretching out his hand to gesture in the air, but even so, his pace didn't slow down at all, and he didn't trip over any vines or broken stones on the ground.

  "This move of shedding one's cloak and yielding should be from left to right, but Master said it can't be rigidly applied, should be learned and used flexibly, seems like there can still be variations!" Wan Lai Sheng thought deeply.

  A gentle breeze came from behind, and the sound of a thousand voices in his heart suddenly chilled. The reaction he had cultivated for many years took effect before his brain could react, and his body turned left, his right hand clenched into a fist and swung out, punching towards the incoming object.

  A dull thud, the incoming object collided with Wan Lai's fist, and Wan Lai felt a numbness in his fist, thinking it was very hard. The old wolf that pounced on him flew out even faster than when he came, and fell to the ground.

  The loud noise startled the people in front, and Qin Yang also rushed over from the front of the team. Seeing that it was a wolf, Tie Tou reached out to pull out his gun, but was pressed down by Qin Yang.

  The situation here is complicated, and if possible, try not to fire a shot. Moreover, he doesn't believe Wan Lai Sheng can be the opponent of Lang Zai.

  Looking at the old wolf that climbed up from the ground and took an offensive posture, Wan Lai also felt a bit puzzled. Generally speaking, when a wolf sees so many people, it should have run away long ago, let alone attack proactively like this wolf. The behavior of this wolf was too abnormal.

  But he really didn't take this wolf to heart.

  The ten thousand voices did not rush to take action, but instead quietly waited to see what this wolf would do.

  The old wolf got up from the ground, looked at the tranquil gaze of his own voice, and then looked at the special forces soldiers behind him who had drawn their daggers. A hint of panic flashed in his eyes, but it quickly stabilized again.

  After a brief standoff, the old wolf suddenly let out a loud howl, its body leaning forward, its hind legs forcefully kicking the ground, and it pounced towards Wan Laisheng with a whoosh.

  The special forces held their breath and stared at Wan Lai's voice in unison.

  "Hah!"

  Wan Leng's face didn't change, his left leg suddenly lifted and the iron whip-like kick fiercely struck the old wolf's abdomen, sending it flying over a dozen feet high, flying out several yards, and crashing into the grass.

  "It's so simple!" People didn't think that with a loud shout and a single kick, the problem was solved.

  This kick used only 30% of his strength. If he had kicked with full force, he could have shattered a stone tablet half a foot thick.

  At the moment when he kicked out, Wan Lai's voice saw an unexpected sadness in the old wolf's eyes, and unintentionally reduced his original 50% strength by a few more points.

  But he believed that this kick had already kicked the old wolf's internal organs into pieces, and it wouldn't be able to live for much longer.

  A rustling sound came from the thicket, and an old wolf emerged from it, shaking its body.

  The sound of ten thousand voices and people were all shocked, they had never seen such a persistent old wolf.

  Dai'er stared at the old wolf, which was already somewhat unsteady but still in an attacking posture. She seemed to understand something and turned around to take out a can of Japanese beef from her backpack. She pried open the lid and poured the beef onto the ground.

  Qin Yang did not stop her.

  The aroma of beef wafts through the air.

  The old wolf's gaze, which had been fixed on the noisy crowd, suddenly shifted towards Dai'er, or rather, the beef in front of her. It seemed to hesitate for a moment, but couldn't resist the temptation and pounced over.

  Dai'er's companions, Xiao Yue and Huo Er, gripped their daggers tightly, ready to support her the moment she was attacked.

  The old wolf pounced on the beef, sniffed it with its nose, lowered its head and picked up a piece, but to everyone's surprise, it didn't swallow it. Instead, it turned around and ran into the woods.

  Looking at the old wolf running into the forest, Qin Yang ordered Tie Tou to arrange for the special forces team to rest in place. He took Dai Er and Wan Lai Sheng to chase after it into the forest.

  The old wolf was walking unsteadily in front, leaving behind a trail of bright red blood, the power of Wan Lai's kick finally showed up. The old wolf walked on one side, and fresh blood flowed from the mouth holding the beef, dripping onto the ground. But it continued to run forward without stopping.

  Three people followed behind, running out of more than 300 meters away, and a stone den appeared under a cliff. That should be the old wolf's lair. But the old wolf had no strength to get up, it fell weakly on the ground, panting heavily with its mouth open, but the beef was still tightly held in its mouth.

  After trying several times and seeing that he still couldn't get up, the old wolf desperately crawled towards his den on the ground.

  Dai'er bit her lip and whispered to Qin Yang: "Qin big brother, let's help it!"

  Qin Yang looked at the old wolf struggling towards him and walked over, pinched it and carried it to the edge of the den, then put it inside.

  The cave was filled with thick thatch, two small white wolves, eyes wide open on the grass, wailing and rolling around together. Seeing their mother return, they surrounded her, rubbing affectionately against her.

  The old wolf put down the beef and pushed it in front of the two little wolves with his paws. The two little wolves cried out excitedly and pounced on it, tearing at it.

  The old wolf lay on the ground, a hint of nostalgia in its eyes. It turned back to look at Dai'er, as if pleading with her. Then, its head slowly drooped down, its body swayed once, and it stopped moving altogether.

  Dai'er looked at the respectable mother, then glanced at the two snow-white cute little wolves, and turned her head to look at Qin Yang with the same pleading eyes as the old wolf had just looked at her.

  Qin Yang looked at Dai Er's pitiful appearance and couldn't bear her pleading eyes, so he reluctantly nodded.

  Dai'er let out a cheer and rushed over to hug the two little white wolves who still didn't know what was happening, running back along the way they came, not caring about Qin Yang and Wan Lai's voices behind her.

  Qin Yang and Wan Lai Sheng looked at Dai Er who was like a child, smiled bitterly and followed behind towards the special forces team.
