Chapter 1265 Fight of the Beasts (1/2)
Right at the moment when the shadow pounced, other shadows at different spots followed suit. However, the shadow at Vampire's proximity was nearest to them. The rest of them were rather far away. Brother Wolf and the rest immediately reacted and paired up to start firing at the dark shadows.
Bang, bang! Bang, bang! The sounds of the loud shots rang out.
Sissy was Vampire's partner. As everything had happened too quickly, Sissy was unable to provide aid at once.
Sissy had not been able to fire on time. Vampire was too close to the wolf. By the time he had reacted, the man and the wolf had been entwined.
At that moment, if Sissy were to fire, he might have easily hurt Vampire. He could not take that risk.
Fortunately, Ah Ow arrived not long later and pounced on the wild wolf that had latched onto Vampire's body. It was as though Ah Ow was on steroids. With a quick swish, it swiftly dragged the wolf away.
Not too far away, the shadows moved again and the howling of the wolves rang out. Ahh-wooo, Ah-wooo, Ah-woo!
Li Du was shocked to see that the wolves had such a strategy in their fight. They had successfully laid an ambush.
Needless to say, the wolves had merely given them a fake impression that they had left the area. They were trying to get Li Du and his people to lower their guard. All these wolves that had been hiding among the trees were obviously the same ones that had been circling their campsite.
It meant to say that the circling Li Du and his group had thought was silly, was actually the part of the wolves' trap. He could not help admitting that the wolves were really smart.
”Defend! Gather!” Brother Wolf's voice rang out and he sounded calm, as always.
The wolves had launched their attack. Siberian wolves were fast and capable of inflicting great damage. When they chased after their prey, they could move at a speed of 65 kilometers per hour. Every leap they took could go as far as five meters.
Seeing that the wolves had started their attack, Li Du realized that the pack had not gone too far. The animals were slightly more than a hundred meters away from the campsite. It was just that the light was too faint at night, and as the wolves had intentionally camouflaged themselves, it was not easy to spot them.
The distance of one hundred meters could be considered pretty long, but the wolves were able to sprint so fast that they covered it in a matter of a few seconds.
Brother Wolf and the rest had paired themselves up. One partner of each pair would be firing while the other would retreat in Li Du's direction and gather there.
More shots rang out at the same time and agonized cries of the wolves could be heard.
Li Du went forward to help Vampire up. Sissy half-squatted nearby, facing outwards and ready to protect them with his gun.
Vampire's clothes had been torn and Li Du saw blood on his arm. Seeing that, he was very concerned and asked, ”Hey, buddy, are you OK?”
”No problem,” Vampire said, taking a deep breath.
He picked himself up quickly and joined in the fight, shooting at the wolf pack. ”Don't worry, guys, it's just a scratch. I'm fine, make way for me!”
The M4A1 was a powerful weapon. However, it was meant for shooting at humans and not animals. For the latter, it would be more effective to use a hunting rifle or shotgun.
They had eight guns with them. Their weapons could serve as a powerful firewall, but in dealing with wolves, it was subpar.
Though many shots had found their mark, the wolves could move quickly and changed their track often. Most of the wolves had been unhurt or were only mildly injured and could continue moving at the same speed.
Right at that moment, the people at the campsite had reacted quickly. Two of the cars were started and the light from the SUVs lit up the place. It was as though a row of miniature suns had appeared. The bright light helped them to locate the wolves.
