Chapter 23: Fierce Battle

  I carefully observed, a total of thirty-seven spirit wolves, each one lean and robust, with sharp wolf teeth.

  But just as Kano and others rushed in with blood all over their bodies from the narrow fence, the pack of wolves stopped moving.

  Huh?

  I was stunned, and Canoli and the others were all dumbfounded. They had gone to such great lengths to lure the spirit wolves into the enclosure, only to burn them alive at the Broken Cliff. But now, these spirit wolves refused to enter.

  Kanori and others were at a loss, they all looked up and gazed around, I knew they were looking for me, but it was not the time for me to come out yet.

  Suddenly two majestic wolves emerged from the pack, they walked back and forth at the narrow gate of the enclosure for a few laps, then suddenly one of them jumped in.

  "Come on in!" exclaimed Kanori happily.

  Two spirit wolves came in and looked around, seeing no danger, two more spirit wolves jumped in. However, after eight spirit wolves jumped inside the enclosure, the other spirit wolves stopped moving.

  The spiritual wolves entering the fence no longer sniffed around, but instead stared at Kanori and others in unison.

  "Get out quickly."

  No need to shout orders, everyone followed the plan discussed earlier and ran towards the cliff. There, ten sturdy ropes hung down, waiting for them to grab hold of, and then the oxen above would pull them up.

  However, nowadays there are only eight spirit wolves that can enter the enclosure.

  Everyone ran behind the cliff and didn't immediately tie up the rope. Everyone's eyes were all looking at Kanori.

  To run or to stay?

  At this time, someone must take charge.

  Kanori was well aware of the consequences of running and staying. If he were to tie himself up with a rope and run away now, all his previous efforts would have been in vain.

  "Alright!" Kanori's low voice rang out, and the crowd formed into the wavy formation I had instructed them in earlier.

  I leaned against a tree trunk, gazing far away at the battle between Kanori and the others and the spiritual wolves. If they couldn't lure the outside spiritual wolves in, everything before would be for nothing.

  The battle was quite intense, with loud roars and the mournful howls of the spirit wolves rising and falling in succession. Two young men from Montel Village had already fallen to the ground, bleeding profusely. The two massive spirit wolves suddenly pounced towards the corpses, leaving Kanori and the others unsure of what they intended to do.

  But when two dark and gigantic mouths were about to devour their teammate's head, everyone's blood was boiling.

  "Don't let these bastards break our brothers' bodies." Kano's mouth was full of blood, and the axe in his hand had already been chopped to pieces.

  The battle suddenly took a dramatic turn, the villagers of Montel seemed to be desperate and fearless, ignoring the howls of other spirit wolves, and frantically rushed towards the two spirit wolves.

  Under countless chaotic blades, those two majestic spirit wolves were hacked into pieces.

  Aooo... Aooo aooo... The spirit wolf outside the fence howled wildly.

  Kanori and others had already killed wildly, where did you hear these. I looked far away, the Ling Wolf outside the fence finally made a move.

  They formed a column and, with a wolf's howl, rushed swiftly into the enclosure. From a distance, it looked like a gray arrow shooting rapidly into the enclosure.

  I flipped over and ran past them.

  As the wolves rushed into the enclosure, after Kano and others charged over, I took a leap to block the narrow entrance of the enclosure and shouted loudly: "Kanori, retreat!"

  At the same time, a bright whistle reverberated in my mouth and quickly spread upwards into the high air.

  Upon hearing the whistle signal, countless large and small fireballs suddenly fell from the cliff top, burning on the dry grass-covered wall with a crackling sound.

  Beasts are naturally afraid of fire, and the wolf pack suddenly became somewhat cramped and uneasy. The neat formation gradually became scattered, with wolves moving around in all directions, their heads frequently looking towards the exit.

  Kanori sprang back to life upon hearing my command, shouting at the crowd to reform their wave-like formation and block the Spirit Wolves' attack.

  At this time, Ling Lang's attention was no longer on Kano and others, after a flip adjustment, most of the Ling Lang rushed towards me.

  As the fire intensified, the temperature inside the enclosure changed, and the gentle breeze that was originally light gradually became strong.

  Assisted by the wind, the fire inside the fence burned more fiercely, and the temperature difference between top and bottom grew larger, causing the wind to grow stronger as well.

  Finally, under the assistance of wind and fire, the entire fence was set ablaze. Thick smoke billowed up, spreading in all directions towards the precipice.

  The wolf pack is restless.

  Looking at the dozens of spirit wolves staring at me with their eyes wide open, I sneered coldly and waved the small skinning knife in my hand, shouting: "Come on."

  The forms were pressing in, perhaps also impatient from waiting, the three-headed giant spirit wolf suddenly pounced towards me, its sharp and neat gigantic fangs reflecting white light, revealing a chilling aura.

  But this narrow gate can only allow one wolf to pass through at a time, and attack no more than two heads.

  I stood at the entrance, and there were only a few routes for the two-headed spiritual wolves to attack. I effortlessly kicked one of the spiritual wolves and dodged the other's claw strike by lowering my body.

  Aaaaoooouuu...

  That spirit wolf successfully jumped over my head and landed outside the fence, but before it could get excited for long, a line of blood extended from its neck, followed by bright red blood spraying out.

  Hiss!!!!!

  As it leaped over my head, the skinning knife in my hand swiftly and accurately struck its neck.

  At this sight, the whole pack of wolves became enraged, and was in no way intimidated by that perfect sword strike, rushing towards me one after another.

  "I coldly smiled: 'Two forces clashing, relying solely on brute force won't work.'"

  Frontal assault, two-headed wolf spirits, attack routes back and forth just those few lines, I dealt with them effortlessly.

  In doing so, they also fully demonstrated their proud wisdom in beasts, and adopted a wave-like attack method.

  Two rows of wolves came in a tide, dozens of columns, surging towards me like a tidal wave, trying to find a gap between my attacks and break through my defense.

  I was fearless, facing the charging spiritual wolves, and with a fierce lift of my hand, I grabbed one of the spiritual wolf's fangs and slammed it forward, heavily smashing into the spiritual wolves that were pouncing from behind, completely disrupting their formation.

  On this side, the blood and fire were screaming, and Kanori's side was disturbed by me, and the remaining spirit wolves had no intention of fighting again. Kanori and others quickly took advantage of the opportunity to grab the rope hanging from the cliff, and the villagers of Montel on the cliff immediately rushed to pull them up with a fierce cow.

  I was dealing with the spiritual wolf while sizing up Kanori and others who had climbed up the cliff. Ten of them came down, and now only six were left, slowly ascending while tightly grasping the rope. However, it's a bit better than I expected.

  Just as they all climbed up the cliff, facing dozens of wolf eyes that had been staring at me tightly, I suddenly laughed.

  No more idle talk, I changed my usual demeanor and suddenly charged forward with a loud shout, forcing the wolf back several steps. Then, with a swift leap, I retreated to the edge of the wall and quickly pulled something behind me.

  Bang! A wooden gate shut the entrance of the fence tightly.

  Looking at the pack of wolves howling in the enclosure, I couldn't help but smile slightly: "No matter how clever a wolf is, it's still just a wolf!"

  In this plan, I play the role of a cutter, when the big fire starts, blocking the Ling Wolf who wants to escape.

  So what's more convenient than a fence?

  Of course, if the fence had been closed from the very beginning, people like Kanori who were used as bait would have all been sacrificed.

  The desperate spirits of the wolves burst out in all directions, biting at the wooden fence with all their might. Although it was a terrifying and crazy scene, it also had some effect, but I knew that it was too late now.

  The big fire inside the fence was burning more and more fiercely, the wolf pack had long been unable to maintain any formation, scattered about dodging the invasion of the big fire, several heads of hair on their bodies were even ignited.

  I calmly gaze at all of this, survival of the fittest, this is the truth in any situation.

  The wolf pack finally realized that escape was hopeless and stopped their restless emotions, raising their heads and letting out a long howl.

  The howling sound is tragic and majestic, those who hear it feel desolate.

  I stand with my hands clasped together, listening calmly. The preciousness of life lies in the fact that one never knows when the flame of life will be extinguished at the next moment.

  But when it comes, it can come very suddenly.

  The wolf howls for a long time, echoing through the clouds.

  I cast a faint glance at the blazing flames that engulfed the wattle wall, and turned to leave. But just then, from the depths of the distant cliff, a chorus of wolf howls rose and fell in succession, seemingly echoing the howls within the enclosure.

  Suddenly felt a tightness in his heart, what else?

  Wooooo...

  More than a hundred pairs of crimson eyes of the spirit wolves were imprinted on my eyelids, as if it was the summons of the god of death.

  A chill suddenly rose up from behind, this time, I shouldn't fall, right?

  A majestic silver-gray wolf stands proudly at the front of the pack, its chest fur fluttering gently in the autumn breeze over the harvested rice fields.

  Behind it, hundreds of spirit wolves revealed their sharp eyes and gazed at him from a distance.

  Stillness, deathly silence.

  Behind me, the bamboo fence crackled and popped with a loud noise, but in my ears, it was as silent as a dead sea.

  The wolves' breathing became rapid, I knew their attack was about to begin.

  There are a few large trees scattered around, the nearest one is more than ten meters away from me. Let alone whether I can climb up the tree under the gaze of the pack of wolves, even if I climbed up the tree, the trees are too far apart, and I basically have no way to move between them.

  After calming down, I knew that today would usher in the first fierce battle of this reincarnation.

  Aaaaoooouuu...

  As the lead wolf let out a howl, over a hundred spirit wolves surrounded me in layers. Six spirit wolves suddenly leapt up and bit at my neck, chest, thighs, arms, and ankles respectively.

  Without any obstruction, I took eighteen crane-shaped steps, dodging and weaving away.

  However, having dodged this round of attacks, in the next moment, another pack of spirit wolves pounced over.

  It's impossible to dodge now, taking advantage of the time difference, I seize the gap, raise my hand and swing out two knives, two blood lights fly by, and two wolf heads fall into the bloody pressure.

  At the same time, four claw marks were left on my back, with deep wounds and blood flowing profusely. The tender flesh inside my spine was turned outward, revealing a glimpse of white bones.
