The peasant widow is famous all over the world

In order to prevent the light from shining outside the cave and attracting uninvited guests, they left only a trace of fire source.Under the weak firelight, one could vaguely distinguish the figures leaning or lying down, as well as the positions of things.

As time goes by, the mountains become quieter and quieter, and even the chirping of insects after nightfall gradually dissipates.

Lu Daneng and Zhang Yi looked at each other, held the knife in their hands tightly, and listened to the shallow breathing of the four companions in the cave, and cheered up.Although it was their first time to come to this deep mountain and old forest, they had been working as agents for many years, and their intuition told them that something was unusual.

"Whoa!" Suddenly, Lu Daneng was lightly tapped on the shoulder, and his tense nerves made him reflexively pull out the knife in his hand.

"Captain Lu, it's me!"

Lu Zhiqiang, who woke up in the middle of the night and wanted to change his guard, was startled by Lu Daneng's actions.

"Huh! Lu Zhiqiang, do you make no sound when you walk?" Lu Daneng breathed a long sigh of relief, glanced at Lu Zhiqiang and said.

When Zhang Yi heard the sound of Lu Daneng drawing his sword, his heart thumped, and he subconsciously drew the sword out of its sheath.

Fortunately, it was only a false alarm!
They were too nervous. There were only a few of them in the cave, so how could there be any danger!
Seeing the panicked expressions of Lu Daneng and Zhang Yi, Lu Zhiqiang smiled slightly and whispered: "They are all sleeping. I'm afraid of disturbing them, so I'll settle down more gently."

Lu Daneng glanced inside the cave and saw that Lu Zhian had already stood up and walked towards them.

Lu Zhiqiang and Zhang Yi also followed his gaze.

"Cousin." Lu Zhiqiang shouted softly.

Lu Zhian glanced at him, frowned and said, "We agreed that I would stay with you for the rest of the night, why didn't you wake me up?"

He guessed that something might happen tonight, so he slept lightly.Therefore, when Lu Daneng took out his sword, he was awakened.

Lu Zhiqiang sneered, "You are too tired today, I want you to sleep a little longer."

"It's okay, I'm not that tired after half a night's sleep." Lu Zhian waved his hand and said.

Seeing this, Lu Daneng was not polite. He gently put the knife into its sheath and said, "I'll leave the rest to you. Zhang Yi and I will go and relax for a while."

"Ah."

Lu Zhiqiang and Lu Zhi'an responded lightly and changed places with Lu Daneng and Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi also put away his long knife, walked into the cave with Lu Daneng, found a place back to back, closed his eyes and began to rest.

Lu Zhian took one look and then turned his attention to the dark outside of the cave.In order to make it easier to observe the situation outside, Lu Daneng and Zhang Yi had previously made the gaps between the vines larger.

Since I fell asleep, the firelight in the cave was weak, so it didn't matter if the gap was larger.

"Cousin, can you have a good sleep tonight?" Lu Zhiqiang approached Lu Zhi'an and asked softly.

Lu Zhian frowned, his expression a little solemn, "Not necessarily."

When Lu Zhiqiang heard Lu Zhi'an's words, he understood what he meant. He was afraid that he would not be able to live peacefully tonight.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhiqiang also observed the outside of the cave vigilantly.

"Copy guy!"

"Cousin!"

Half an hour later, Lu Zhi'an and Lu Zhiqiang's voices sounded at the same time.

They found pairs of green eyes, slowly approaching the cave.

"Is there something going on?" After hearing the sound, Lu Daneng and Zhang Yi immediately got up and ran towards the cave entrance.

"hiss!"

When they saw the green eyes getting closer and closer, both Lu Daneng and Zhang Yi took a deep breath.

Damn!
It was so green that it made their scalps tingle.

While they were in shock, Lu Zhi'an and Lu Zhiqiang had already turned around and picked up their bows and arrows, ready to fight.

The movements of the four people woke up Tang Mian and Lu Dashan.

"Dashan, light the torch you made earlier. Add some more firewood to the fire in the cave to light up the cave." Lu Zhian took the bow and arrow and said as he walked towards the entrance of the cave.

"it is good."

Lu Dashan didn't ask anything. He took the lead in placing some firewood on the fire, and then walked to the place where the torch was placed.

When Tang Mian heard what Lu Zhian said, he also helped with a serious expression.

She knew that the wolves were coming.

The two worked together to get everything done, and walked to the entrance of the cave holding the lit torch and handed it to Lu Daneng and Zhang Yi.

"Captain Lu, Captor Zhang, try to insert the torch at the entrance of the cave." Lu Zhian said quickly.

Lu Daneng and Zhang Yi nodded, holding torches, they stepped forward and jumped onto the big stone blocking the entrance of the cave, and put the torches in place.

The firelight illuminated the scene outside the cave, and Lu Daneng and Zhang Yi's pupils shrank.

A large group of wolves opened their mouths and showed their sharp teeth, looking at them eagerly.Lu Daneng counted them, and there were probably more than 20 of them.

"Damn it!" Lu Daneng and Zhang Yi cursed, jumped off the boulder, turned around and took the bows and arrows brought by Tang Mian and Lu Dashan.

Although their archery skills were not as accurate as Lu Zhian's, they had practiced at least.

"Why don't these beasts come here during the day?" Lu Daneng pointed his bow and arrow at the wolves and cursed through gritted teeth.

It's dark at night, and the sight alone is much worse.

"Wolves like to be nocturnal. At night, their sense of smell is sharper and they run faster." Lu Zhian said at the side.

People, on the other hand, are just the opposite.

Therefore, the wolves are more powerful at this time, while they are weakened.

"I can't tell that these guys know how to use their strengths and avoid their weaknesses." Lu Daneng smiled bitterly.

"Don't underestimate wolves, they are not stupid!" Lu Zhian continued.

Fortunately, the light of the torch temporarily stopped the wolves.

Lu Daneng sighed, looked at the arrows piled up in the hole, and said, "I don't know if the more than 200 wooden arrows we whittled are enough."

"Whether it's enough or not, we have to fight." Lu Zhiqiang continued.

If you don't fight, you will have to wait to be eaten by wolves.

The two sides faced off silently, and Lu Zhian and the four of them watched nervously as the wolves slowly approached.

"Ow!"

After a moment, a long wolf howl sounded, and the wolves that were walking slowly suddenly sped up their movements.

"They are coming, get ready!" Lu Zhian shouted.

"Come on, let's see how I kill them!" Lu Daneng opened his eyes wide and said through gritted teeth.

He said it forcefully, but in fact his palms were already sweating and his heart was very panicked.

Lu Zhiqiang and Zhang Yi were not much better. It was the first time for them to face a ferocious pack of wolves, and it was still late at night.

"Ouch!" There was another howl, and the two wolves running in front quickly jumped towards the cave.

"Lu Zhian, when are you going to release the arrow?" Lu Daneng and Zhang Yi held the arrow tail tightly and asked hurriedly.

If Lu Zhi'an hadn't told them before going to bed to wait for him to speak before releasing the arrow, they would have been unable to help letting go.

"hold on!"

Lu Zhian stood on the innermost stone of the cave, taking aim with his bow and arrow.

After two breaths, Lu Zhian shouted, "Fire the arrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead and shot a wolf in the waist with an arrow.

In an instant, the shot wolf fell down and fell into the trap.

"It's best to aim at the wolf's waist and head, which are its weak points." Lu Zhian said while shooting.

When Lu Zhiqiang and the other two heard what Lu Zhi'an said, they collectively aimed at the other wolf and fired an arrow.

Unfortunately, none of the three were accurate enough. One arrow hit the wolf's forelimb, another missed the wolf's body, and another missed the target.

However, the wolf with injured forelimbs still fell from mid-air and fell into the trap and was seriously injured. There was no need to worry about it getting up and attacking again.

The four of them were very excited after winning the first battle.

Although Lu Dashan and Tang Mian in the cave could not see the scene outside, judging from the expressions of Lu Zhian and the others, they had won.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, another loud howl sounded.The two of them felt nervous.

The four people at the entrance of the cave were not relaxed either. They drew their bows and arrows and stared closely at the four wolves that once again leaped towards them.

This time, Lu Zhian put down his bow and arrow, and instead held a rope in his hand, staring at the wolf leaping over with all his attention.

When the four wolves were about to reach the cave, Lu Zhian suddenly pulled down the rope.

In an instant, wooden spikes similar to rows of fences flew out and blocked the way of the four wolves.

"Ouch!" The four wolves were blocked by the fence. Not only were their bodies stabbed by sharp wooden thorns, but they also fell down instantly.

He fell straight into the trap dug by Lu Zhi'an, and the wooden thorns in the trap penetrated into the wolf's body again.

The wolf struggled in pain, but while struggling, he was stabbed by more wooden thorns.

"Shoot arrows at the wolf in the trap." Lu Zhian shouted suddenly.

As soon as they finished speaking, Lu Zhiqiang, Lu Daneng, and Zhang Yi immediately changed their direction, aimed and fired their arrows.

Lu Zhian was not idle either. He quickly picked up the bow beside him, nocked an arrow and shot.

His accuracy is much better than the other three, and he is basically accurate every time he shoots.

Soon, the wolf in the trap lost its fighting power.Even if they are not dead, Lu Zhian is not worried that they will jump up again and hurt people.

"Ouch!" The first wolf howled again, and the five wolves running in front received the order and ran towards the entrance of the cave.

Lu Zhian pulled down the rope again, and the same scene happened again.With three wins in a row, the mood of the four people became obviously happy.

It's a pity that there is no third rope to pull him.

But the alpha wolf became angry and howled repeatedly, and the ten wolves quickly ran towards the entrance of the cave.

Listening to the howls one after another, Lu Dashan and Tang Mian were worried.No matter how worried they were, they didn't have the ability to step forward and deal with the wolf. They could only help pass arrows and tools to the four people at the entrance of the cave.

For the first time, Lu Dashan felt like such a waste.

Sora has brute strength, so even if his hands and feet are still flexible, there is still nothing he can do when encountering wild beasts.

"I heard that every pack of wolves has a leader. If we find the leader and kill him, will this crisis be solved?" Lu Daneng looked at the wolves running towards him and nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked.

"I'm afraid I can't."

"I'm afraid I can't."

Lu Zhiqiang and Lu Zhi'an spoke at the same time.

Lu Daneng and Zhang Yi both turned to look at Lu Zhiqiang, "Lu Zhiqiang, how do you know?"

Lu Zhian knew that they didn't find it strange. After all, he was an old hunter.

Lu Zhiqiang stared at the running wolf expressionlessly and said, "I used to be a escort when I was out, and I heard some things from my colleagues."

Lu Daneng and Zhang Yi suddenly realized.

"Why can't the crisis be solved if the alpha wolf dies?"

"After the alpha wolf dies, they will quickly choose a new alpha wolf." Lu Zhi'an said without letting go of the bow and arrow in his hand, staring at the wolves closely.

"However, the death of the alpha wolf will have a certain deterrent effect, and the group of wolves will be slightly less aggressive. We can take advantage of their opportunity to re-elect the alpha wolf and launch a fierce attack to kill as many as possible."

Lu Daneng was happy, there was a way.

"How to find the alpha wolf?"

"Don't think about it. The alpha wolf is usually in the rear. I don't have the ability to shoot that far unless someone is willing to go out." Lu Zhian is not pouring cold water on him, that's the fact.

People who go out are immediately exposed to danger.

Now they can cope with it, and they don't have to choose the most dangerous path.

"Be careful, the wolves are coming."

Lu Daneng and Zhang Yi were in a daze for a moment after hearing Lu Zhian's words. If Lu Zhian hadn't yelled "Wolf" from behind, they would not have come back to their senses.

"Fire arrows."

As soon as Lu Zhi'an finished speaking, he immediately shot an arrow. As soon as the arrow was shot, he immediately replaced it with a new arrow and shot again.

Lu Zhiqiang, Lu Daneng and Zhang Yi did not dare to be distracted anymore and focused on staring at the wolves shooting arrows.

"Damn it!" Lu Daneng cursed, his accuracy was too bad.

If he could go back safely this time, he vowed to practice archery more in the future.

"Cousin, Capt. Lu, Capt. Zhang, you guys cover me." Lu Zhiqiang saw that the wolf was about to jump to the entrance of the cave, so he threw down his bow, pulled out his long sword, jumped on the big rock and fought with the wolf.

"younger brother."

"Second cousin."

"Zhiqiang."

Seeing Lu Zhiqiang jump out, Lu Zhi'an, Tang Mian and Lu Dashan all panicked.

Looking at his cousin fighting with the wolf, Lu Zhian's eyes turned red.Keep an eye on Lu Zhiqiang's surroundings, and immediately release arrows if a wolf approaches.

When Lu Daneng saw Lu Zhiqiang going out, he also threw away the bow in his hand, pulled out his long knife and jumped out.

Although his martial arts skills are not as good as Lu Zhiqiang's, he is good at lightness and can save his life.

The two of them worked together, plus the assistance of Lu Zhian and Zhang Yi, and finally defeated another wave of wolves that leaped over.

"Ow!"

The long howl sounded again, but no wolf attacked.

"What do they mean?" Lu Zhiqiang and Lu Daneng had already returned to the cave and looked at Lu Zhi'an and asked.

Lu Zhian said seriously: "They may have found that it is difficult to attack by force and want to kill us."

"What?" The other five people exclaimed and looked at each other.

"Damn it, you're not stupid at all, you're obviously very smart." Lu Daneng sighed and said angrily.

After speaking, he paused and said, "I'll go out and kill them. Anyway, there are only a dozen of them that can move, so the risk is reduced a lot."

After finishing his words, he turned to look at Zhang Yi and Lu Zhiqiang.

The three of them looked at each other, and Lu Daneng spoke again: "Lu Zhian, Zhang Yi, I, and Lu Zhiqiang are going out to deal with the dozen or so wolves. You are good at shooting arrows, so you can protect us here."

Lu Zhi'an frowned, looked at the three of them, and finally nodded, "Don't let the wolf get too far away, or I won't be able to shoot."

It's definitely not okay to be stuck in a hole with a pack of wolves all the time.

They can't afford it.

In that case, take the initiative.

"Each of you hold a torch." Lu Zhian ordered before going out.

The three of them nodded and said hello.

He drew his weapon, threw away his scabbard and scabbard, jumped on the boulder, took the torch and left the cave.

"Ow!"

The wolves saw the three people and gradually surrounded them.

"Captain Lu, Captor Zhang, I'll leave this to you while I deal with the alpha wolf at the rear." Lu Zhiqiang said, staring closely at the alpha wolf giving orders.

Lu Daneng and Zhang Yi nodded solemnly, "Be careful!"

"What a show off!" Lu Zhi'an at the entrance of the cave looked at Lu Zhiqiang running towards the alpha wolf and cursed worriedly.

He knew that Zhiqiang had taken it to heart when he said those words about killing the alpha wolf.

However, the alpha wolf is not as easy to deal with as an ordinary wolf.

The location of the alpha wolf is beyond his range. I hope Zhiqiang will be safe.
