Chapter 39 - 39 39 Battle with the Pack of Wolves

39: Chapter 39 Battle with the Pack of Wolves 39: Chapter 39 Battle with the Pack of Wolves After a while, they stopped in a relatively open area to rest.

They sat on the grass, overlooking the entire Liuhu Village and several nearby villages.

The cool mountain breeze instantly alleviated the fatigue from hiking.

Moreover, the wind was blowing from Wu Kexin’s side toward Chen Yang.

The fresh breeze not only brushed against Chen Yang but also carried over the scent of Wu Kexin’s body…

“The distance we’ve covered is less than one-tenth of the mountain.

The wildlife and vegetation in the outskirts are already this rich; just imagine how much more abundant it must be in the depths of the mountain,” Chen Yang, lying on the grass with his hands under his head, said.

“You’re absolutely right; the mountains of Liuhu Village are indeed the village’s greatest asset.

However, developing this advantage involves significant difficulties!” Wu Kexin turned her head and glanced at Chen Yang, who was lying down.

Then, she laid out the entire process of how Liuhu Village planned to get rich through breeding, saying all in one breath, “To develop the mountains, we need not only substantial capital but also the cooperation of all nearby villagers!”

“And that’s not all; the main issue is that we also need to learn many breeding and planting techniques and even find outside partners willing to purchase our goods!”

“All of these constitute a lengthy process.

The difficulty is substantial.”

Wu Kexin’s words hit the nail on the head, and Chen Yang nodded in agreement.

“Yeah, the difficulty is indeed significant.”

After finishing this conversation, they were silent for a while.

Chen Yang, feeling sufficiently rested by then, stood up ready to descend the mountain.

“Mayor, we’ve seen enough of the mountain for now; let’s head down before it possibly starts raining again, which would be troublesome.”

“Hmm!

Okay, let’s head down then.”

Wu Kexin stood up too, deciding to descend.

While the journey uphill was somewhat challenging, the descent was much easier.

It took them more than an hour to hike up, but in less than half an hour, they were close to exiting the mountain, nearing the edge of the wilderness.

Once they reached this point, the surroundings suddenly opened up, making the walk much more comfortable.

However, engrossed in their descent, neither of them noticed several swift shadows flickering around them.

At first, these shadows kept their distance.

But as time passed, they grew bolder and began to approach Chen Yang and Wu Kexin, who were walking down the mountain.

It was when these shadows reached about a hundred meters from Chen Yang that he acutely sensed their presence.

Chen Yang suddenly stopped in his tracks, standing still.

“What’s wrong, Chen Yang?”

Wu Kexin, oblivious to their surroundings, wondered why Chen Yang had abruptly halted and moved forward to ask.

“There are wolves nearby, and this pack has set its sights on us.” Chen Yang stated emotionlessly, standing in place.

Hmm?

Hearing the word “wolves,” Wu Kexin’s face turned ashen.

She immediately turned her head to scan the surroundings, and finding nothing, looked back at Chen Yang, her voice trembling as she asked, “Where are they?”

“Close by.” Although Chen Yang remained stationary, his burly right hand slowly reached behind his back for the sickle tucked there.

Chen Yang carried the sickle as a precautionary measure, but he never expected he would actually need it today.

Though Wu Kexin did not see any wolves around, Chen Yang’s expression did not seem deceitful.

And having seen the condition of the mountains herself, she knew that the presence of wolves in such a primordial wilderness was entirely normal.

With this thought, Wu Kexin’s body began trembling uncontrollably.

“Then, Chen Yang…

what do we do now?” Wu Kexin asked in a panic.

“Stand behind me, you’ll be safe with me here.” Chen Yang reassured her confidently.

Upon hearing this, Wu Kexin obediently nodded her head and then moved cautiously, inching closer behind Chen Yang.

She even extended her small hand to grab the corner of Chen Yang’s clothes…

After Wu Kexin moved behind him, Chen Yang turned his head to survey their surroundings, noticing that the shadows were getting closer.

Just then, one of the wolves raised its head and let out a long howl to the sky.

“Awooo…”

A chilling wolf howl echoed, followed by the swift shadows that had been lurking nearby all concurrently rushing towards Chen Yang and encircling him and Wu Kexin.

“Ah!”

Upon witnessing four or five wild wolves really charging out from the vicinity, Wu Kexin let out a piercing scream and, in fear, she grabbed Chen Yang from behind and held on tightly.

She even buried her face in Chen Yang’s back, not daring to look at the surrounding situation.

She was truly terrified.

Even though it was her holding onto Chen Yang, he could still feel that Wu Kexin’s entire body was trembling.

Even his shirt on the back was somewhat damp; she had been scared to tears…

“Don’t be afraid, you won’t be harmed with me here,” Chen Yang comforted Wu Kexin once more, and then reluctantly pried Wu Kexin’s arms from around his own.

Because Wu Kexin was clinging to him so tightly, he really couldn’t free his hands and feet to deal with the wolves before them.

Hmm…

The wolves rushed up close to Chen Yang, immediately displaying their ferocity.

Their sinister fangs were exposed, seemingly ready to attack Chen Yang at any moment.

“Think I’m an easy target?

You’re way off!” Chen Yang suddenly roared, then his figure flashed as he brandished the firewood knife and chopped at a wolf directly in front of him.

Chen Yang moved swiftly, and the wolf had no time to react.

There was a thud, and the wolf directly across from Chen Yang had its skull cleaved by his blade…

then it collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud.

In just an encounter, Chen Yang had slain a wild wolf in seconds, something the wolf pack hadn’t anticipated.

They all let out angry howls, but not a single one dared to approach Chen Yang for an attack.

They were terrified of both the firewood knife in Chen Yang’s hand and his strength.

“Still not running?

Looking for death!” Seeing that the remaining wolves showed no sign of wanting to flee, Chen Yang turned and struck with his knife again.

Having learned from the previous incident, the wolf pack was already prepared; thus, when Chen Yang suddenly struck, the targeted wolf quickly reacted, lifting its legs and turning to run.

Still, Chen Yang’s blade was too swift, and although he didn’t manage to kill the wolf instantly, he sheared off half of its tail.

With half its tail gone, the wolf was in tremendous pain, whimpering and howling from its mouth, devoid of any will to fight.

It dragged its tail, bleeding profusely, and fled crazily into the deep mountains.

The remaining wolves around also hurriedly turned to escape.

Seeing the wolves beat a hasty retreat, Chen Yang couldn’t help but smile slightly: “Challenging me?

Novices.”

Chen Yang’s physique had been enhanced, and ever since he had consumed numerous elixirs last time, he had been continuously taking Dragon Tiger Pills.

So his body strength was boosted a little every day!

With his supernatural strength and his reflexes reaching a new level, these wild wolves were no match for Chen Yang, especially now that he had a firewood knife as a weapon.

After the wolf pack scattered, Wu Kexin was still hugging her head, squatting on the spot and shivering.

Chen Yang smiled slightly and then walked over to pat her back: “It’s alright, Village Chief, it’s safe now.”

Hearing Chen Yang’s voice, Wu Kexin slowly lifted her pale face.

At the same time, she quickly glanced left and right, noticing that the surrounding wolves were gone!

Only a wolf corpse lying in a pool of blood remained, along with a severed wolf tail.

Seeing the scene before her, Wu Kexin’s face was filled with shock!

“You…

you drove away the wolves…

and even killed one?” Wu Kexin looked at Chen Yang in disbelief.

“Yes, I drove them away,” Chen Yang nodded, then turned and walked towards the wolf corpse lying in the pool of blood, and picked it up by hand.

“Quite robust!

This will make a good meal!” Chen Yang assessed the weight of the wolf corpse in his hands and then nodded in satisfaction.

And behind him, Wu Kexin stood completely still.

Her eyes were wide with shock.

At the same time, without realizing it, she thought Chen Yang was so brave…

fighting a pack of wolves alone and even killing one!

So impressive!

“Village Chief, let’s keep going.

As long as we get out of this forest, we’ll be back in Liuhu Village, safe and sound.” Carrying the wolf corpse, Chen Yang turned back and said with a smile to the still shocked Wu Kexin.

“Okay…

okay!” Wu Kexin nodded in astonishment and then followed Chen Yang’s footsteps.

Along the way, Wu Kexin’s mind was filled with thoughts about why Chen Yang was so powerful, even capable of killing a wolf.

However, as the two were not very familiar with each other, she did not show how shocked or curious she was, but she pondered it silently within her heart.
