290 7.18 Camping Out In The Wilderness (1/2)
We didn't find any settlement but according to me, we have made somewhat a straight beeline from the Elder's thatched house right to the spot where I slowed down. ”Something seems off. We better find a water source right now before it's dark.”
I suggested to Matilda as I made a slight left towards the intended destination on hopes to find wisps of smoke or scent of burning wood to imply there's a settlement nearby. Even if we do not find any settlement, we hope to find a body of water and all around us right now are plains and some mountainous region on the right.
I was on Cruising Along all the time and it had been last 2 hours since we made the last stop after warming and drying our clothes. This can't be good. I've got no weapons and all I have is a crumpled out of shape sword and my iron axe and pick. fortunately, I am still able to deploy the 'Rise of the Suno if I need to.
I had to rely on my Third Eye while on Cruising Along and hope to find a place for shelter during the night. The earth was damp and it was a good time to forage for mushrooms. But I know nuts about mushroom except for those easily found in the supermarket. If we were to consume the wrong ones, it would spell disaster for both of us...!
Using my Third Eye on Cruising Along technique with Matilda piggyback on me, it was utilizing quite an amount of my Internal Chi Energy and I used the Third Eye sporadically to search for a settlement of a stream and suddenly I spotted some wild animals nearby. I slowed down and came to a complete stop.
”Why did you stop? Is there a village up ahead?” She tried peering but there's nothing in front that interests her. ”Don't talk now...I spotted 3 wolves of some kind up ahead.” I said while I tried to hushed her.
”Where...!? I don't see any wolves...in fact, I don't see anything of interest in front.”
The moment she asked 'where' the pack of wolves in front pricked their ears and ran forward to where we are standing. I squatted and lowered her off my back and asked her to lie low on her stomach as I picked up a stick and imbued Kamehameha energy into it.
Unfortunately, we were in an upwind position and our scent gave our positions away as the pack of wolves were now racing towards is at high speeds with their tongues wagging out and literally foaming at their mouths. When they were within sight, Matilda gave a frightful shriek because the wolves were slightly smaller than the BOSS we had defeated earlier.

”Stay low! Leave this to me...trust me...!” I howled at Matilda as I kicked my heels and raced forward a few steps, leaving after images as I went for the leader of the pack. ”Bring the leader down and everyone will run away...!”
Everything was in bullet time when I was nearing the first wolf and I delivered a sliding uppercut kick onto the head of the wolf and nearly injuring myself by it. The wolf's head was snapped back and I twirled around and used the imbued Kamehameha stick and whacked the jugular of the wolf. it definitely won't kill it but it sure shocked it.
After I had whacked the jugular, the wolf shook it's head/mane and charged at me and I knew to hit a 1% part of the body precisely would stop it in its tracks definitely. I kicked on my heels and was propelled forward and just as the wolf was about to bite kn me with its open jaws, I delivered a two-handed horizontal swipe with the stick from my left directly at it's about and it yelped out in pain.
The second wolf had emerged on my left and was leaping and trying to swipe me using it's right paw when I managed to kick the ground and twisted my body and deliver a left punch directly at the ribs of the wolf and I can feel the bones crushed under my fist. With that motion, I delivered a slamming left kick on its spine and I can hear the bones cracked and splintered underneath the force.
