The Emperor of Qin gave six handsome men

Chapter 291 Encountering a Pack of Wolves

Ying Bu’s words made the young men who were traveling with him turn pale. They looked at each other, wondering if they had seen a ghost.

Yue Xin took out a compass and found that the magnetic field here was a bit chaotic. The compass kept turning around, and Yue Xin frowned.

"The magnetic field here is a bit chaotic now. Let's rest here first, untie the horses, and look at the trajectory of the moon before we move on."

The horse paced back and forth impatiently, and hot air kept coming out of its nose. Ying Bu was secretly shocked. Are they in a state of paralysis? He and Yue Xin exchanged a glance, and Yue Xin signaled him not to panic.

Zhang Yin and his companions separated the horses from the carriage, but they did not dare to let go. After all, horses are more alert than humans.

Yue Xin reignited the fire and cleared the nearby weeds and trees to make a clearing. The night was cold and the dew was heavy. The few of them huddled together. They were all very tired after a whole day's journey, but now they dared not sleep at all.

Yue Xin and Ying Bu have been studying the map and recording the movement of the moon.

"I think the road here is a little strange. Do you want to walk a few kilometers out and have a look?"

In the deep mountains and old forests, he was particularly afraid of wild beasts. This group of people had no fighting power, and he couldn’t take care of them all by himself.”

Ying Bu disagreed.

"Let's wait till daybreak. If a wild animal comes when we leave, these guys will be in trouble. I'm also afraid to be left alone."

Woo woo...Ying Bu really wants to go home now. Fortunately, he didn’t come out alone, otherwise he would really cry to death. The world outside is really dangerous.

Yue Xin thought about it and realized that this was the truth.

"Then let's wait here until daybreak. We can go get some more firewood. I'm afraid these won't last until tomorrow morning."

The blazing flames danced, emitting a warm and bright light. This fire not only illuminated the surrounding environment, but also made people feel a sense of warmth and peace of mind.

After all, in this wilderness, the light of fire can often dispel the fear in the darkness, and also make ordinary wild beasts dare not approach easily.

Gong Shangwu and Ling He stepped forward and took the initiative to help. Their agile figures looked particularly heroic under the light of the fire.

At the same time, Zhang Yin and three others were responsible for guarding the vehicles and horses to ensure that these important properties would not be threatened in any way.

Several people worked together to move all the branches and dead leaves they could find nearby to a relatively safe area. Although the whole process was a bit hard, fortunately, no dangerous situations were encountered.

When all the preparations were completed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and found a place to sit down and rest for a while.

However, just when they thought the night would pass peacefully, a long and shrill wolf howl suddenly came from a distance.

The sound seemed to come from the depths of hell, making them hair stand on end. It also sounded not far from where they were, and could pose a threat to them at any time.

Yue Xin's heart tightened, and he quickly threw the knife in his hand to Gong Shangwu and others, and shouted loudly: "Quick, sharpen those branches for emergency use! Ying Bu, go add firewood quickly, if it is not enough, split the carriage into pieces and use it as fuel!"

Upon hearing this, everyone became nervous and started to act according to Yue Xin's instructions.

They usually only carried two daggers. Yue Xin quickly expanded the fire outwards. Ying Bu threw branches into the fire, and dead leaves began to be arranged according to the area cleared by Yue Xin.

Gong Shangwu and the others only had a small knife on them, so he gave the knife to Cheng Li.

"This knife is for you. Mine is sharper. I will help the Master and the others."

They couldn't just sit and wait to be protected, it was better to take the initiative to participate. They had no choice but to quickly carve wood. The more wood they carved, the safer they would be. Although their hands were shaking with fear, they still persisted.

Yue Xin saw that he was quite courageous and thought maybe he could teach him a few tricks.

Before they were ready, more than a dozen pairs of green eyes appeared. Gong Shangwu was frightened to the point that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground. Yue Xin and Ying Bu saw this and became extremely alert.

"Master, this is your knife!" Zhang Yin took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, mustered up his courage, and slowly walked to their side. He respectfully handed the knife in his hand back to them.

After doing all this, Zhang Yin quickly turned around to help Gong Shangwu who had fallen to the ground. Gong Shangwu's face was as pale as paper, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and he was obviously very scared.

"Don't worry, we will definitely be able to turn danger into safety and escape safely!"

Although he said so, in fact, even Zhang Yin himself was unsure. He was just comforting himself. After all, the current situation was so dangerous that it was hard to predict whether they could escape successfully.

On the other side, Ying Bu continued to set up the fire circle without stopping. Ling He and the others held their knives and sharpened sticks tightly in their hands, and took different positions, ready to face the upcoming dangerous challenges at any time.

Yue Xin faced the wolves alone with a knife in his hand. This was the first time in his life that he had fought against real beasts, and he didn't know what his chances of winning were.

Separated by the fire circle, the wolves were a little scared and did not dare to attack. A wolf howled at the air, as if issuing some orders. Then, the group of wolves began to circle around the fire circle. The two horses seemed a little frightened, constantly digging the ground with their hooves and spewing hot air from their noses.

The flames burned brightly, illuminating the surrounding darkness. Everyone gathered in a circle nervously, holding their weapons tightly. The wolves circled outside the circle of fire, looking for a breakthrough.

"Everyone, don't panic!" Yue Xin shouted, "Stay alert!"

Suddenly, a wolf jumped high and tried to cross the fire circle. Yue Xin was quick-witted and stabbed the wolf with a knife. The wolf screamed and fell into the fire. Seeing this, the other wolves became even more restless and kept growling.

The flames crackled and sparks flew. The wolves no longer dared to act rashly.

A huge wolf king appeared outside the fire. It looked at everyone indifferently, with cold light flashing in its eyes.

Yue Xin's heart tightened, realizing that this was the real challenge. He took a deep breath, clenched the knife in his hand, and prepared to meet the attack of the wolf king.

The wolf king howled, and the other wolves retreated to make way for the wolf king. The wolf king approached the fire circle step by step, and the powerful breath made everyone feel suffocated. The wolves seemed not to be ready to attack, but quietly guarded on the side.

The two horses roared and kept breaking free from the reins to escape. Mi Dan and Cheng Li couldn't stop them and were almost trampled by the horses.

Yue Xin took a look at the horse and felt a little painful, but decided to sacrifice the horse to save them.

"Mi Dan, let the horse go!"

No matter how valuable it is, saving their lives is the most important thing. They hope that these wolves will let them go if they have two horses, otherwise these firewoods will not be able to stop them for long.
