Chapter 235. The Wolf Pack
"That makes you seem smart," the ranger scoffed. "With so many of us, how much fire would it take to form a protective circle?"

And we need to be given enough time to set it up.

"No, didn't someone give us a warning beforehand? How come we didn't have time to make arrangements?"

Moreover, I've heard that wolves are very vengeful. We were just walking peacefully on the main road at the foot of the mountain and didn't offend them.

Who discovered the wolf pack? Did he lure them there?

Everyone thought it made sense, and some immediately thought of Gu Kaiyuan, "These people go hunting every day, could it be that they killed a wolf cub and it's coming for revenge?"

Surprisingly, this statement garnered a lot of support, and people began to criticize Gu Kaiyuan.

Liu Pingkang: "...Shut up, all of you. You deserve to be dragged away by wolves without a sound. You ungrateful bunch."

You people have committed too many sins, which is why you have ended up like this.

Everyone's struggling to survive, yet they try to shift blame onto others. They should first reflect on their own wrongdoings before criticizing others.

Could it be because I was too lenient with these damned corrupt officials along the way?

If it weren't for his concern that they might get hurt and delay their journey, he would have wanted to raise his whip and vent his anger.

"If you're so good with words, then let Rong Ruiyuan and the others go to the front to fight the wolf pack. I'm sure with your sharp tongues, you can definitely tear the wolf pack apart."

Everyone shut up now. They were genuinely afraid that Liu Pingkang would keep his word, and no one dared to provoke him at this point.

The area finally quieted down, but Liu Pingkang and the others still looked very serious because they saw some wolves had circled around to their backs.

Bai Suihe lifted the curtain and looked at the wolves in front of her. Her hands trembled slightly. In the past, they had to pay money to see these rare animals.

Even through barbed wire or glass, she could feel the threat, let alone in this desolate wilderness.

Dongmei and Chunxiang were also very nervous, but they didn't forget to stand guard by the door, keeping a close eye on the wooden plank that had just been blocking the way.

"Miss, don't look anymore. I believe the young master and the others will definitely drive these wolves away," Dongmei licked her lips. Why did she feel a little dry-mouthed after only saying one sentence? She was still nervous.

"These wolves are really big. Now that they're facing off, it's a test of their mental fortitude," Bai Suihe said, her eyes fixed on the distant mountains. Her eyesight was pretty good now, but she still couldn't see where the so-called wolf king was.

Just then, a wolf howled from the mountain. Bai Suihe immediately pinpointed the location, and even with the reflection of the snow, she seemed to see several bright spots.

The wolf king really did hide far away; this was just a vanguard he sent out. Bai Suihe immediately shared her thoughts with Gu Kaiyuan, who was guarding the side.

Gu Kaiyuan also looked in the direction Bai Suihe was pointing, and he did indeed notice something unusual.

However, they are now surrounded by wolves and have no way to fight the wolf king. They can only wait for an opportunity.

Dealing with such an organized and coordinated group of opponents is truly difficult.

Sure enough, as soon as the wolf howls sounded, the wolves surrounding the group began to move. They all pounced on the humans in front of them at the same time. Even though everyone was prepared, they couldn't win against these formidable opponents in a short time.

Moreover, these wolves, taking advantage of their unique strengths, attacked and injured several of them right away. Gu Kaiyuan and his group fared better, as the guards from both escort agencies were experienced and managed to hold off the wolves while also dealing with several of them.

However, the escorts who came later were not so lucky. In addition to their numerical disadvantage, they also had a group of people dragging them down behind them.

The wolf had barely begun its attack when many of the exiled prisoners who had previously acted as protectors threw down their knives and clubs and scrambled onto the train carriage.

When you turn around and expose your back to these wild beasts, it means you will become their meal.

Sure enough, there were areas that weren't taken care of, and some people were directly pounced on and bitten by wolves, letting out cries of pain and pleas for help, which triggered all the fear in people.

The women and children who were hiding in the carriage screamed when they heard the commotion.

Liu Pingkang cursed and used his knife to help Ma Zhi out of the predicament, directly wounding a wolf. Ma Zhi quickly seized the opportunity to deliver a finishing blow. Before he could even say thank you, Liu Pingkang had already rushed to the side with his knife in hand.

That was the direction the Chen family was heading. Chen Dafu and his family didn't have an oxcart, and the women and children were all protected in the middle. Because of this, they became easy targets for the wolves, and several wolves had already set their sights on them. The two boys from the Chen family were already injured, and because of the blood, some more wolves were attracted to their direction.

Liu Pingkang leaped and killed a wolf, rescuing Chen Dafu.

"Lord Liu, help me!" Chen Dafu thought he was going to die here, but unexpectedly he met his savior. He immediately grabbed Liu Pingkang's hand excitedly, but Liu Pingkang shook him off.

"Get out of here, pick up your weapons and protect your families, otherwise your lives won't cost me anything."

I hate these illogical intellectuals the most. At this point, they still dare to grab me. Do they want me to shield them from the wolves?

"Sir, help!" Chen Dafu's shout seemed to have brought everyone to their rescue, and they began to send out distress signals.

Liu Pingkang no longer wanted to talk to these useless and troublesome guys, so he led his brothers to fight against the wolf pack.

Bai Suihe watched the terrifying scene outside, her heart clenching with worry.

She would clench her fists whenever she saw the wolf pounce on a human.

"Mommy, don't be nervous," the baby had already sensed Bai Suihe's nervousness. She even felt a little uncomfortable in her belly and couldn't help but turn over.

Bai Suihe instantly noticed the unusual sensation in her stomach and quickly composed herself, taking several deep breaths to calm herself down.

"Mother, don't be nervous. Even if Father couldn't protect you, I can still find a way to protect you."

Gu Kaiyuan, who was outside the carriage, was speechless.

“Baby, you still need to learn to trust Daddy,” Gu Kaiyuan’s voice appeared in the mother and daughter’s minds. He had to give them a reminder not to speak ill of him in front of them.

"Father, it's not that I don't trust you, but I want to protect Mother."

"Mommy was so worried! When will we get rid of these wolves? Should I help?"

For some reason, Bai Suihe couldn't help but swallow nervously when she thought of the meteorite that fell from the sky that day. "Baby, there are many people here. Even if we have the ability, we can't show it to others."
