Chapter 40: The Dire Wolf
On this day, Bai Lang came back from patrolling and brought back a piece of news.
"Chief, many tribes outside said that they heard something screaming last night, and there were quite a lot of them."
"It's okay, just patrol as usual."
After hearing what Bai Lang said, Xia Qi's first reaction was that those tribes were playing tricks on themselves.
"Clan leader, I..." Bai Lang hesitated to speak.
Seeing this, Xia Qi asked: "Do you have anything else?"
The white wolf thought for a while and said to Xia Qi: "Clan leader, actually there is a group of very scary wolves in this jungle."
"Oh? Tell me." Hearing what Bai Lang said, Xia Qi suddenly became interested.
"These guys are tall and white, and they come and go without a trace. When winter comes, when the ice and snow melt, they will disappear with the ice and snow."
Then Bai Lang added: "The attack power of this group of wolves is very terrifying. Every creature they encounter will be eaten by them wherever they go. This is where my name comes from."
"I understand." Xia Qi nodded, "You mean, those scary guys have appeared again?"
Bai Lang looked solemn and said: "I'm afraid, that's the case. Those guys appear in different places every time, but this time they appeared near our camp. Chief, we..."
"Okay." Bai Lang wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Xia Qi.
Seeing the nervous expression on the white wolf's face, Xia Qi also complained in his heart. He didn't know what this thing looked like, but it could actually scare the fierce and brave white wolf into looking like this.
"So far, we are not sure whether they are the guys you mentioned. To take a step back, even if they are, we still have a camp wall. Don't worry, it will be fine."
"Um."
Seeing that Xia Qi didn't care about this, Bai Lang left in a muffled voice.
But on the second day, more than one tribal warrior reported to him that he heard wolves howling outside the camp at night.
At this time, the white wolf came in a hurry.
"Chief, there are several tribes outside that were attacked by wolves at night."
Xia Qi was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "Let's go out and take a look."
He didn't take it seriously before because he didn't know whether it was true or not. Now that it has become a fact, he must take it seriously.
Don't forget, the fishing team is fishing outside the camp day and night.
Ten minutes later, the suspension bridge was lowered, and Xia Qi, Bai Lang, Xiong, and a hundred soldiers walked out of the camp.
The place they were going to was a little far away from the camp, and it was still among a group of tribes. If there were fewer people going, accidents might happen.
After trekking in the snow for thirty or forty minutes, Xia Qi and the others arrived near the incident site, where a large number of tribesmen gathered.
What's interesting is that you can see that a lot of holes have been opened on the ice here, and there are people fishing there.
The living environment of these tribes is very poor. The tents are in tatters and some people sit numbly, not knowing where to go.
This has nothing to do with Xia Qi. If you want to blame it, you can only blame them for having an ambitious leader.
In some tents, people looked greedily at Xia Qi in the crowd. As long as they could catch him, the entire Xia tribe's resources would be theirs.
However, when they looked at the hundred tribal warriors wearing protective gear and the giant bears around Xia Qi, their eyes were full of fear.
After walking for about ten minutes, a wave of

The strong smell of blood immediately hit their faces, and then everyone's expressions changed. They saw blood stains everywhere around here, and there were a lot of footprints on the ground. Needless to say, these people must have been attacked by wolves.
And Xia Qi also discovered that the footprints of these wolves were very large. The Xia tribe had encountered wolves before, and the size of those wolves was already very exaggerated, but the footprints here were nearly half larger than those wolf footprints.
Xia Qi glanced around and found that although the area was stained with blood, it was empty. It was obvious that the corpse had been dragged away by the wolves for food.
"Come on, let's follow these bloodstains and see what those noises look like."
On the way, Xia Qi was thinking that it was time to build the camp wall on the Black Gold Tribe side. The former Abe Mistress was now a wolf pack. It was good luck these two times. Nothing happened to the Black Gold Tribe side. Otherwise, there would have been
He cried.
Although, in such a cold weather, the ground will become very hard.
But compared with the safety of the people of the Heijin tribe and the coal supply of the Xia tribe, these are nothing.
The reason why the Xia Tribe's camp wall took so long to build was because considering the future population, it would be okay to build it larger in advance, but the Black Gold Tribe is just a foothold for coal mining, and the population does not need to be too large to build a camp wall.
Walls don't need to be built very big either.
It is not so much a branch city as a large coal factory built by Xia Qi in order to obtain coal resources. The daily task is to mine coal mines, and there is no need to do anything else at all, so the Black Rock Tribe does not need to circle in the early stage.
If a large piece of land is to be developed, only a small area near the coal mine should be protected.
Building such a small circle of city wall should be more than enough for a construction team that has already had one experience. If things go well, it may be completed in a month.
A group of people followed the blood stains and footprints left by the wolves. When they found the wolves' den, the wolves apparently also discovered their existence.
Ever since they met, both sides have been extremely afraid of each other.
There are hundreds of people on Xia tribe's side, and although there are only more than forty wolves on the wolf pack side, which is not as many as those on Xia Qi's side, these wolves are still a bit too big.
In time, only counting the shoulder height, the size of these wolves reached Xia Qi's chest, and the largest wolf among them was probably two meters tall.
These wolves have gray-white hair, ferocious eyes and steely faces, which reminded Xia Qi of an animal that has become extinct on Blue Star, the dire wolf!
But when he thought about the era he was living in now, Xia Qi quickly felt relieved. Just like the maidenhair vine he discovered before, he didn't remember that this kind of plant had ever existed on Blue Star.
"Ouch!"
Following the cry of the leader of the wolf pack, dozens of dire wolves howled in succession.
There was obvious anger in the bursts of howls, as if they were threatening them, telling them not to come any closer and to leave here quickly. However, the group of people remained unmoved at all, not even a half-second's hesitation.
No.
Seeing this, the wolves took the lead in launching a tentative attack.
Xia Qi's party immediately set up a defensive formation, and the archers standing behind had already begun to bend their bows and nock arrows.
The results of the previous training were fully demonstrated at this moment. The five people were already extremely skilled in the use of bows and arrows. In the blink of an eye, a volley was fired directly at the dire wolves.
Facing the volley attack from the Xia tribe, the howls of the dire wolves became a bit shriller. The wolves that had gathered together quickly dispersed, divided into two groups, and moved towards the original position in a form of outflanking.
A group of people on the ground and others came to kill them.
Obviously this is not the first time they have faced such an outflanking tactic, and they naturally have a way to deal with it.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
There is no need to say more about the method. The archers in the rear simultaneously turned on the group of dire wolves on the left. More than twenty bows and arrows were aimed at them and fired in succession, directly forming a long-range suppression.
However, the hair of these dire wolves was too thick, and the arrows seemed to be densely hung on the dire wolves' bodies, but in fact they did not cause any substantial damage at all.
Facing the threat from the right, in the eyes of the white wolf and the bear, no matter how big they are, they are just a group of beasts. Beasts are beasts after all. How can they be the opponents of humans?
Finally, an arrow happened to hit the eye of a dire wolf. The arrow passed through its eye and shot directly into its brain.
"Ouch! Woo..."
The dire wolf howled loudly, and its heavy body fell heavily to the ground while running wildly, splashing with snowflakes, and at the same time announcing the end of a life.
The death of this dire wolf did not make the remaining dire wolves fearful, on the contrary, it aroused their bloodshed.
Facing the wolves that were about to charge, the bear held the double axes in his hands tightly, preparing to take action. The white wolf on the other side had a solemn expression. After all, this was the first time he faced the legendary wolves.
After seizing a good opportunity and seeing that the distance was almost close, the archers decisively stopped and retreated. The bear responsible for covering them saw an opportunity and decisively attacked at this moment.
There were five dire wolves that rushed up. One of them had been shot to death by random arrows, and only its silk head was left.
Facing the huge reading book that was almost as big as themselves, the other warriors of the tribe looked very nervous, except the bear, who looked eager to give it a try.
The bear brandished the two axes in his hands. With both axes in hand, the bear believed that he had few opponents in the world. These wolves were just a little bigger, so it was no problem to deal with them.
I saw the bear's arms suddenly exerting force, and the two axes in his hands directly caused a burst of strong wind pressure. The bear's terrifying combat power completely exploded at this moment. At this time, the bear's bravery value had risen to
Five stars.
The sharp ax blade immediately struck the body of one of the dire wolves with momentum. The fur of the descendant, which could not be penetrated by arrows, was so fragile in the face of the bear's extremely terrifying slash.
, so vulnerable!
A huge gash instantly appeared between the dire wolf's neck, and blood spurted out. The dire wolf fell to the ground and twitched for a few times before suddenly becoming silent.
The strong sense of blow was constantly fed back to his hands, and a scarlet blood flashed from the bear's eyes. At this moment, he felt that his entire emotion was ignited, and his eyes were directly locked on the other three dire wolves!
When the white wolf next to him saw this, his pupils shrank, realizing that he was no longer a match for the bear.
The dire wolf that seemed huge to others was just a tiny speck reaching its belly in the eyes of the bear.
Wild animals are very loyal to their instincts. At that moment, the wild instinct imprinted in their genes made them clearly realize one thing, that is, the human standing in front of them at this moment is very dangerous! Going forward,
Will die!
However, they did not dare to retreat without the order of the alpha wolf, otherwise they would not be able to escape death even if they went back.
The bear and the white wolf each dealt with one dire wolf, and the remaining one was encircled and suppressed by other warriors. Within a short time, the three dire wolves died one after another.
Faced with this result, the Dire Wolf leader did not launch another attack, but took a deep look at Xia Qi and others before leaving.
Xia Qi stopped the bear and white wolf who wanted to pursue him, and then led people to destroy the dire wolf's den and found a large number of human corpses around. Many of the corpses had been eaten by the group of hyenas.
Bones.
Xia Qi ignored these corpses and took the corpses of the five dire wolves back.
