RPAGF Chapter 59 Combat
Chapter 59 Combat
After Lin Baiyan was pushed back into the cave, he sent all the cubs into the innermost part where the meat was stored. Actually, he wanted to lead everyone out, but when he looked through the gaps in the rocks, he saw that there were wolves everywhere outside, making escape virtually impossible.
The young man's palms were sweating nervously. What was going on? Why were there so many wolves?
"Awoo awoo—"
Hidden among the wolves, the wolf king gave a command, and the wolves hidden in the forest rushed towards the male beastmen in front of the cave from all directions, instantly surrounding them. Each male beastman had to face at least three or four wolves.
Lin Baiyan forced himself to calm down. He was a priest of the Cangyan tribe, and he couldn't panic.
"Roar—" There were two wolves in front of Tiger Hill, and another one was hanging on his back. Even so, he roared and charged forward again.
No, there are too many wolves. They can't handle them on their own. Lin Baiyan pinched his palm and looked at the beastmen in the cave. "Grandma Xiyang and some older beastmen will stay here to protect the cubs. The rest of you come out with me."
"There are too many wolves outside. If we keep hiding here, we'll all become their food!"
Upon hearing this, the beastmen quickly retrieved their sharpest weapons—stone adzes, stone axes, bamboo twigs, and bone knives—and looked at Lin Baiyan with unwavering resolve. The priest was right; they could not back down.
After Lin Baiyan finished speaking, he picked up the bone knife he had placed next to the animal skin and transformed into his beast form. He squeezed through the gap left by the stone and rushed out first.
The beastmen's animal form was not an advantage. After Lin Baiyan left the cave, he quickly transformed into human form, and the beastmen followed suit.
"Roar—" What are you doing out here? Go back now!
Tiger Hill turned his head and saw that Lin Baiyan had actually brought out the sub-beastmen. He shouted anxiously at them.
Lin Baiyan held her breath, "I don't understand what you're saying!"
He swung his bone knife and chopped off the wolf cub that was biting Niu Lie's leg, blood splattering into the young man's eyes.
"Are you going to stay inside and wait to die instead of coming out?!"
"Go kill your wolf!" Lin Baiyan appeared unusually calm and indifferent at this moment, and swung the bone knife at another wolf.
If someone were to observe closely at this moment, they would notice that he looks somewhat like Lang Cang.
The arrival of the orcs at least eased their tensions somewhat. Everyone brandished their weapons and spontaneously paired up to protect the cave behind them, where even smaller cubs were inside.
Everyone was prepared to die in battle.
Gradually, more and more wolves lay on the ground, and the male orcs felt less pressure. It seemed they were about to kill all the wolves.
Just then, the wolf king's howl echoed through the forest again, and then, seemingly out of nowhere, more than thirty wolves charged forward one after another.
That pack of wolves was just the vanguard released by the wolf king!
They still haven't found the wolf king.
Huqiu was already feeling exhausted, and despair gradually filled his eyes. There were too many of them; if this continued, they wouldn't be able to hold on.
Is this their final journey?
Lin Baiyan held his breath, picked up a bamboo splinter, and stabbed it into the neck of the wolf that was biting Lu Xiao's calf.
Then he dragged him back to the edge of the cave and rushed out again.
It seemed these wolves were determined to make them their food; the young man's eyes were filled with a fierce glint, a bloodthirstiness stirred up by the killing of wolves.
Even if I die today, I'll drag a few wolves down with me as my scapegoats!
Carrying a blood-dripping bone knife, he charged straight into the pack of wolves with a do-or-die attitude.
"Ouch—"
Suddenly, a wolf howl pierced the air and entered the ears of the beastmen.
At this moment, even the young man's eyes were filled with despair, and the bone knife he was holding tightly fell to the ground. The other beastmen were even more so, thinking that it was a signal from the wolf king to launch another attack.
Their beliefs were gradually shattered and destroyed, and they awaited the wolves to tear them apart completely.
However, such a bloody scene did not occur. A white figure gleaming with silver light rushed into the wolf pack like lightning.
Lin Baiyan spotted the figure in the wolf pack at a glance. He suddenly snapped back to reality, narrowly dodging a wolf's claws. He grabbed something from the ground and threw it at the wolf, then quickly picked up his bone knife.
"Wolf Cang is back!" Lin Baiyan shouted loudly to the beastmen.
Those two words acted like a tranquilizer, seeping into the hearts of the beastmen. Hope rekindled in Huqiu's eyes. "The chieftain is back! Let's fight them!"
Tiger Hill unleashed an extraordinary power, slashing through a wolf's eye with a claw and then seizing the opportunity to bite through its throat.
The orcs behind the giant wolf also shed their burdens and joined the battle.
At this moment, Lang Cang accurately located the wolf king hiding in the forest. This wolf king was very cunning, hiding in the middle of the wolf pack and never showing his face, not at all like a leader.
Wolf Cang located his position from the sound, let out a low growl, and sped up onto the wolf king's back.
They grabbed his ear and flung him to a conspicuous spot.
The wolf king was caught off guard, and his figure was exposed to the beastmen.
It quickly stood up, staring fiercely at the giant white wolf in front of it; the orc gave it a very dangerous feeling.
Wolf Cang didn't give the wolf king a chance to react, and charged forward again with a burst of speed.
The battle situation instantly reversed after they joined in. The orcs were bloodthirsty, and it's no exaggeration to say that the appearance of Lang Cang was their source of confidence. Niu Lie roared and charged towards the wolf pack.
After an unknown amount of time, the wolf king let out a heart-wrenching howl, its body convulsing continuously. From its initial fierce resistance, its voice gradually weakened until it finally stopped moving in resentment.
Wolf Cang flung the wolf king aside, blood trickling from his mouth, his eyes cold as he stared at the pack of wolves before him. The air seemed to freeze for a moment, and the remaining wolves in the pack hesitated to advance when they saw their wolf king dead.
The howling of wolves echoed through the forest once more. This was the moment for the orcs to counterattack. Lang Cang charged into the remaining wolf pack first, followed instantly by several male orcs.
Everyone was determined. If the wolf pack wanted to use them as food reserves, they'd better see if they were qualified!
In the end, the wolf pack scattered under the attack of the beastmen. One large wolf, leading seven or eight others, tucked its tail between its legs and fled quickly into the forest.
Seeing that the battle was over, Lin Baiyan collapsed to the ground, exhausted. His face covered in blood, he looked up at the light snow that had started falling again in the sky.
Only then did the young man realize that his hands had been trembling and were extremely sore.
The other orcs weren't much better off; the sub-orcs were almost all crookedly leaning or sitting.
"we won?"
Someone muttered something under their breath.
"right."
"We don't need to go see the Beast God anymore?"
Then a huge cheer erupted among the orcs. Although everyone was not in a good state, each orc was filled with the joy of surviving a catastrophe.
