Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

Ye Chen's analysis was like a shot of adrenaline for the three of them, and Li Yan's originally gloomy expression immediately became much more cheerful!

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry up the mountain and slaughter this beast!" Li Yan gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

Just as he was about to rush towards the mountainside, Ye Chen grabbed him around the waist.

"Brother, don't rush!"

"It'll be dawn soon. Now that we've confirmed Uncle Li's safety, why don't we wait a little longer?"

"The fog is rising in the forest now, obstructing visibility. If we rashly move out and get injured by the wolf king, it would be a greater loss than a gain!"

It is now early summer, and the temperature difference between day and night is quite large.

As day turned to night, fog rolled in through the old forest, reducing visibility to less than ten meters!

If you rashly go into the mountains in this kind of weather, it would be like losing all the advantages of the weather and the terrain!

The old wolf king, with his keen hearing and sharp eyesight, could detect the movements of the three from a great distance, but the three were completely unable to take precautions due to the fog.

Since it's a rescue mission, we need to be even more careful. Otherwise, Uncle Li might be safe and sound, but the three of us might get hurt instead.

That would be a losing proposition!

"Alright, since my father was able to stall for so long, he must have found some hiding place. Judging from the wolf king's voice, he's clearly angry because he couldn't catch his prey!"

"Brother Ye Chen is right. Since we're rescuing people, we must also protect ourselves. Let's rest for a bit, replenish our strength, and then fight this beast when the fog clears!"

Li Yan realized what was happening and said firmly.

At that moment, Ye Chen climbed to the treetop, leaned against the trunk, and closed his eyes slightly.

In the group, Tian Cong had brought two flatbreads just in case, and now that he had shared them with the three of them, they were able to fill their stomachs.

"Brother Ye Chen, I think... what you're saying about that beast is a bit eerie. Taking action rashly might not be successful!"

"Why not set a trap beforehand and lure that beast here? Once it falls into the trap, it'll be a sitting duck. With so many rifles we brought, we're sure to wipe it out!"

Although Tian Cong had never hunted before, he was well-versed in human nature. After a moment's thought, he made a suggestion.

Upon hearing this, Li Yan and Ye Chen immediately nodded in agreement and began to divide the tasks and get busy.

The three men had traveled light to carry their hunting rifles, but fortunately, they had brought plenty of hemp rope just in case.

At this moment, under Ye Chen's command, they divided the work: Li Chen was responsible for weaving the hemp rope into a snare, Tian Cong was responsible for the physical labor, and Ye Chen personally set up the trap.

Once the fog had completely dissipated and sunlight filtered through the leaves, illuminating the old forest, Ye Chen and his two companions had completed setting up the trap.

Hidden among the weeds were the shackles, and to prevent any accidents, Ye Chen even placed stones on them as a marker.

All we need to do is make a commotion to lure the wolf king over, and then that beast will be caught in the trap and its hundreds of pounds of weight will be lifted up!

Without the ability to act, these mere beasts are nothing but sitting ducks!

They can be manipulated at will!

"Tian Cong will wait here. Li Yan and I will go up the mountain together. Li Yan will hide in the shadows and be ready to rescue people at any time after I lure the wolf king away!"

Ye Chen spoke up and made the arrangements, which made Li Yan frown slightly.

"Brother Chen, it's too dangerous for you to lure the wolf king away by yourself. What if..."

"There's no chance of anything going wrong. Of the three of us, I'm the fastest. I wouldn't feel comfortable letting either of you go!"

Before Li Yan could finish speaking, Ye Chen interrupted him, saying, "Besides, that beast must have been starving after chasing Uncle Li all night, so his strength must have decreased."

"Anyway, there's a trap to cover it up; with my skills, I'll be fine!"

Having lived two lives, Ye Chen was ruthless. He threw Wang Chen and seven or eight others into the cave without the slightest hesitation.

However, Ye Chen had his own principles: he would repay any debt of gratitude and avenge any wrong done to him.

Li Yan had previously vouched for him, and last night he saved Tian Xiaohui's life. Just for that alone, it's enough to make Ye Chen risk his life!

"Besides, Uncle Li has been holding on all night, and his condition might not be much better. Someone needs to help him get out of this predicament, and you're the most suitable person for that!"

As Ye Chen finished speaking, he patted Li Yan on the shoulder, and Li Yan clenched his fist and nodded firmly.

"Brother Ye Chen, if you can save my father this time, my whole family will definitely come to thank you in person!"

"Stop with the coy talk, Tian Cong. Once you're up in the tree, shoot if things get bad. Li Yan, stick close to me. Remember, after I lure the wolf king away, hurry and meet up with Uncle Li!"

After saying this, Ye Chen tidied up his equipment.

Luring the wolf king later is a race against time, so Ye Chen only carried a gun, traveling light to increase his speed.

Apart from the one Li Yan carried with him, all the remaining hunting rifles were given to Tian Cong!

As soon as the wolf king falls into the trap and is pulled up by the noose, Tian Cong immediately takes action and shoots the beast into a sieve!

……

"You beast, get out here!"

"You've brought disaster to the villagers! Today, I, your grandfather, will act on behalf of Heaven and slaughter you, you beast!"

Half an hour later, Ye Chen, shouting all the way, had climbed to the halfway point of the mountain, following the direction from which the shouts had come.

The mountains to the south face the sun and are covered with vegetation.

Scattered sunlight fell on the old forest, making Ye Chen's visibility extremely poor!

In order to attract the attention of the old wolf king as soon as possible, Ye Chen shook his head and swayed his body.

Despite trying for a long time, nothing happened!

"Damn it, could I have misheard that voice?"

Ye Chen frowned slightly, feeling uneasy. Just as he was hesitating, a gust of wind suddenly swept up behind him!

call!

A huge black shadow descended from the sky, heading straight for Ye Chen's back!

For an ordinary person, such speed would leave no time to react, and they would be tackled by the shadowy figure!

Fortunately, Ye Chen had lived two lives and was very experienced.

The moment he realized what was happening, he didn't even turn his head and rolled on the spot!

Such a decisive choice saved Ye Chen's life; as he rolled, he brushed past the huge black shadow!

The old wolf king, as big as a fully grown ox, landed, kicking up a cloud of dirt, bared its teeth, and let out a roar!

"Damn it, this beast can climb trees! I almost fell for his trick!"

Three meters away, Ye Chen cursed and quickly got up.

Feeling for a direction, I ran wildly!

"Brother Li Yan, I'll lure this beast away. You hurry and find Uncle Li!"

Ye Chen gave a warning to Li Yan, who was hiding in the shadows, and suddenly moved to the side, hiding behind a tree.

boom!

The wolf king's massive body lunged straight at them, grazing past the tree trunk.

If Ye Chen had run straight ahead just now, he would definitely have been pounced on by the wolf king and pinned to the ground!

"If you only run in a straight line, two legs are no match for four!"

"My only advantage is my resourcefulness; I'll use the trees in the old forest to slowly lure this beast into the trap!"

Ye Chen took a deep breath, turned around, and sprinted away again.

Suppress your anxiety and force yourself to concentrate!

Behind him, the old wolf king got up, stared at Ye Chen's back, and pounced fiercely!

A hint of bloodlust had crept into his cold gaze!

How dare this mere human dare to mock me like this? He must be executed today!
