Chapter 301 Malfunction
Chapter 301 Malfunction
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly put their things on the horses' backs, and the people followed closely behind.
After three months of hard life in the desert, everyone has become trained to be able to quickly pack up their things and leave whenever they encounter a situation.
Even Bai Lifen, Aunt Zhou and several other aunts and their husbands had learned to mount their horses by themselves. They did not need anyone's help and could ride very fast.
Not to mention the kids, except for the youngest Zhou Xiaocheng, everyone else can mount a horse by themselves. Even the little fat boy has improved his martial arts skills under the inhumane coercion of the woodpecker, and his body looks a lot stronger.
Although he has limited talent in martial arts, he is diligent and can now fight with Huo Yun and others for several rounds.
Everyone got on their horses, and the guards were on the periphery, protecting the others inside the circle.
Xiaobai squatted on Ning Jing's shoulder, staring straight ahead with its beautiful blue eyes. Its injury had healed more than a month ago, and it had been following Ning Jing ever since then, occasionally clinging to Ning Jing.
As for Huo Yun, his savior, Xiaobai sometimes doesn't bother to pay attention to him because he is sometimes too unreliable and not as careful and patient as Ning Jing.
Take bathing for example. Huo Yun washed all the hair off Xiaobai's body, and he thought it was Xiaobai who lost the hair, so Xiaobai and Huo Yun sometimes really disliked each other.
Animals have relatively sharp hearing. When Ning Jian looked at the wolf pack scattered and surrounding them on the map, Xiaobai also let out a very aggressive roar, and the hair on his body stood up.
Huo Yun reached out and stroked its fur, saying, "You can't beat the wolf, so yelling is useless."
These words seemed to hurt the kitten's self-esteem. It glared at Huo Yun fiercely, raised its paw to slap away his hand on itself, and turned its head away, ignoring him.
Ning Jing raised his hand to smooth Xiaobai's fur, and said to Huo Yun helplessly: "Brother, don't tease it."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yun stopped teasing Xiaobai. If he got angry, the cat would really scratch him with its claws. Besides, he had to fight the wolf later and had no time to tease the cat.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the temperature gradually dropped. Soon, a layer of white snow fell on everyone.
Just as everyone was waiting for the arrival of the wolves, Ning Yan suddenly found that the wolves had stopped a few hundred meters away from them and were motionless.
The formation was still an encirclement, but the red dot did not move.
Ning Yan asked Qing Ying curiously, "Is your system working properly?"
Otherwise why wouldn't it move?
Qing Ying didn't know what it was doing at the moment. After a while, it heard its voice: "Host, there is something wrong with your eyes. Our system is fine."
The voice sounded a little annoyed, and Ning Yan suspected that it was rolling its eyes at him.
However, just as Qing Xing finished speaking, Ning Yan noticed a malfunctioning sound in his mind, and then the screen became distorted and turned black and white, but soon returned to normal.
Ning Yan raised his eyebrows upon seeing this: "Will there really be no problems?"
Qing Ying gritted his teeth and cursed, "That damn Shen Haochuan, I'm going to kill him sooner or later."
After cursing Qing Ying, his voice returned to normal, and he said in a businesslike manner: "Host, the system shows that there is no problem. It was just an accident just now."
"Shen Haochuan? Your lover?" Ning Yan asked curiously.
Qing Ying gnashed his teeth and said, "What lover? I'd rather be with a dog than with it."
Ning Yan raised his eyebrows: "Really? If I could meet this Shen Haochuan, I would definitely convey your words to him."
When Qing Xing heard this, his snake face froze. If he really told Shen Haochuan this, he would definitely be dead.
But thinking that it was impossible for the host to meet Shen Haochuan, Qing Xing felt relieved temporarily.
Then it smiled and changed the subject: "Host, you should get down to business."
Ning Yan stopped teasing it after hearing that and got down to business.
He looked up at the sky. Snowflakes were falling heavily from the sky, and soon the ground turned into a vast expanse of white.
The temperature was still dropping, and Ning Jian felt that it would be disadvantageous for them to wait any longer. The colder the weather, the stiffer their limbs became, and the harder it would be for them to move.
So Ning Yan said directly: "Brother Xu, take a few people to the front to provoke the wolves. Don't kill them for the time being. Be careful."
Wolves are highly intelligent animals. Now that they have been targeted, the wolf pack will definitely not give up easily unless they really fight and make them feel scared.
However, these wolves are domesticated and will definitely not retreat easily, so leaving now is not a good idea. It is better to take the initiative and see what these people are going to do.
When General Xu heard this, he said, "Okay."
Ning Yu rode up and said, "Brother Xu, I'll go with you."
He is quite interested in hunting wolves.
General Xu had no objection to this.
Ning Jian took out a few more torches, handed them to them and said, "Take this."
The torches are made of the oils of some flammable plants found on the road. They will not be easily extinguished by water and can still burn even in the rain.
A lot of them were made at the time, and they were all stored in Ning Yan's space.
Everyone knew that Ning Yan could produce all kinds of things. They bought a lot of food from Ning Yan along the way, otherwise it would be a question whether they could survive.
As for where the food came from, everyone tacitly agreed not to ask. Only smart people can live longer.
So General Xu took the torch directly from Ning Yan, and then took a few guards and Ning Lu, turned around and walked forward.
The group soon arrived at the location of the wolf pack, and then everyone saw more than thirty wolves standing there, looking forward vigilantly.
These wolves are larger than ordinary wolves, with gray and white fur, and are more than 8 feet long. They look majestic and aggressive.
Ning Yu was amazed to see so many wolves at once and said, "This pack of wolves is much bigger than the ones I've seen before."
They had traveled through mountains and across rivers along the way, and naturally had seen wolf packs and hunted there before, but this was the first time they had seen a wolf of such a large size.
Everyone agreed with his words.
The wolves obviously didn't expect that General Xu and his men would come directly over. The wolves, who were originally standing there waiting, glared at him and adopted aggressive postures when they saw him.
General Xu drew his bow and shot the arrow, which hit the claws of the leading wolf.
The chief wolf sensed the danger, lowered his head and leaned forward to pounce on General Xu.
But at this moment, a dull and slow cry was heard, like the sound of a military bugle. Immediately, the wolf in front of the wolf called back its troops, returned to its original standing position, and stared at General Xu fiercely.
General Xu looked towards the source of the sound. It was pitch black at night and he didn't see any sign of any animal.
Ning Yu approached Army Officer Xu and said, "Brother Xu, that cry just now must have been from the Wolf King, right?"
