Chapter 417 - Meeting the Desert Wolf Pack
Chapter 417: Meeting the Desert Wolf Pack
Chu Luo and the others waited until those people disappeared before walking out from behind the stone.
Li Yan said, “Let’s go.”
Everyone walked into the desert.
Even in winter, the daytime in the desert was still cold, especially with the cold wind blowing.
Li Yan carried Chu Luo onto the camel and led the way.
Chu Luo said, “Why don’t we all take the camels? It’s still so far away. We have to conserve our energy first.”
“Everyone, walk for two hours first,” Li Yan said. “Take it as your morning exercise.”
Lu Feng deliberately glanced at Li Yan.
Chu Luo realized it and said, “Lu Feng, take the camel.”
Lu Feng nodded. His physical strength definitely couldn’t compare to these people who were obviously trained.
After an entire morning, all they saw was yellow sand. Everyone stopped to rest.
Chu Luo took out her phone to take a look. There had been no signal on her phone since she entered the Karst landscape. She just wanted to see the time.
It was two in the afternoon.
“Lu Feng, is there a rough area of quicksand activity?”
“Yes. After walking another 20 kilometers, we’ll enter that area.”
With Li Yan and the others’ speed, they would take more than three hours to walk more than 20 kilometers in the desert.
“Are quicksand activities divided into day and night?”
“No.”
Chu Luo looked at Li Yan and said to him, “Qin Ming and the others probably disappeared in that area.”
“Mm.” Li Yan also thought of this. “We’ll look for it there.”
When Lu Feng heard that they would still be looking for someone within the range of the quicksand, he frowned worriedly. However, when he thought of the fact that it was to look for someone, he didn’t say anything.
He couldn’t help but pray that they wouldn’t encounter any quicksand activity after entering that area.
After walking for more than three hours, Lu Feng pointed at the rolling sand dune in front of them. “There.”
Everyone held onto their camels and walked over.
When they walked into the sand dune, they could clearly feel that the sand here was softer than elsewhere. If they stepped on it a little more heavily, they would sink a little, let alone the camels carrying food and water.
Everyone slowed down.
As Li Yan walked, he asked Lu Feng, “Do you know which guides the last batch of people came here with?”
“I’ve heard of them.” Lu Feng said their names.
“Are you familiar with these people?”
“Yes.”
“In that case, can you guess their route?”
Lu Feng thought for a while. “I know the general route.”
“Very good. Take us along the general route they took.”
All the guides took similar routes. Lu Feng agreed readily.
After entering this area, Li Yan and the others moved rather quickly. At around six in the afternoon, they caught up to the large group in front.
When he saw those people, Lu Feng specially asked, “Mr. Li, should we catch up to the large group in front?”
“No need.”
To Li Yan, most of the people in front were burdens. It was impossible for him to walk with these people.
He said to everyone, “Let’s go to the other hill.”
Everyone crossed the hill beside them and walked into another hill.
As the sun was setting in the west, Lu Feng sensed something and quickly got off the camel. He held something that looked like a compass in his hand and looked around. Then, he frowned and said to them, “There’s something wrong with this place. We have to leave quickly.”
At this moment, they should find a place to stay for dinner. Since Lu Feng had said so, Li Yan let everyone continue moving forward.
Everyone walked from the evening until the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The cold wind became even sharper. The road at night was actually not easy to walk, but it was impossible to stop at this time.
At eleven o’clock in the evening, a faint wolf howl suddenly came from a few sand dunes.
Everyone subconsciously raised their vigilance.
“This is bad.”
Lu Feng shouted and his expression changed drastically. “This is the sound of a wolf discovering its prey and summoning other wolves. We have to be careful.”
Chu Luo asked Phoenix to sense it before whispering to Li Yan, “There are more than a hundred wolves. All of them are heading towards Third Master Sun and the others.”
Li Yan nodded and said to two of the bodyguards, “Go over and take a look.”
As the two of them left, Lu Feng reminded them, “The wolves in the desert have a very sensitive sense of smell. Don’t let the wolves discover you, or else they will be lured over.”
As Lu Feng felt that his life was tied to his belt, he celebrated the fact that he was following a group of powerful people.
The two bodyguards returned quickly.
“Master, at least a hundred wolves have surrounded them.”
“Ha! Why are there so many wolves here?” Lu Feng gasped in fright.
“How were these wolves attracted here?”
Chu Luo felt a little strange.
“This is the first time I’ve encountered more than a hundred wolves. The wolves in the desert are divided into several groups. Even if there are more than 23 wolves in one group, this kind of group with a hundred wolves is really too abnormal.”
At this moment, not only were there wolf howls not far away, but there were also gunshots. It was obvious that the other side had started firing away. These voices mixed with the sound of the wind made people subconsciously worried.
Li Yan asked everyone to slow down.
Lu Feng was anxious. “Mr. Li, let’s leave first. It’s so loud, and there’s also the smell of blood. We’ll definitely attract other wolves later. If the sound is too loud, there will be quicksand.”
Li Yan thought for a moment and gestured for everyone to speed up.
However, they didn’t walk far before they were surrounded by a dozen wolves.
Looking at the desert wolves emitting faint green light, Lu Feng’s legs went limp.
Li Yan said to Chu Luo, “Luoluo, stand there.”
After saying that, he led more than ten people forward.
The war between the humans and wolves erupted instantly. The roars and cries were terrifying.
Lu Feng, who was standing beside Chu Luo, said, “These wolves are actually here. I thought they would all go over there.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she looked around and realized that there was a black shadow on the sand dune not far away. She gestured for a bodyguard to go over and take a look.
The bodyguard quickly looked back and said to Chu Luo, “Miss Chu, that’s a person’s corpse.”
Chu Luo frowned. That corpse didn’t belong to Sun Tianhao and the others. There was only one possibility.
She glanced at Li Yan and the others, who were fighting the wolf pack, and walked towards the corpse.
The remaining bodyguards wanted to follow.
Chu Luo said, “Don’t follow me. Protect Lu Feng well.”
After saying that, she jumped onto the sand dune.
The bodyguards stopped.
Lu Feng’s eyes widened in shock.
Chu Luo went to the corpse and quickly checked.
The corpse had obviously been buried in the sand before, so it hadn’t been eaten by the animals in the desert.
She took out a dagger and picked at the clothes of the corpse. She realized that it was someone from the Qin family.
At this point, she abruptly turned around to look at Li Yan. She happened to see the whip in Li Yan’s hand wrapped around the wolf’s neck. He pulled and actually yanked off the wolf’s head.
“Howl~~”
The other wolves let out furious howls. Li Yan had learned internal energy and Qinggong before, so he could deal with these wolves with ease. Coupled with the fact that his bodyguards were all skilled, those wolves were quickly dealt with until they were either crippled or running away.
Chu Luo shouted at Li Yan, “Yan, come over quickly.”
Li Yan took a deep breath and jumped to her side.
Chu Luo pointed at the corpse in front of her. “Look, this body belongs to someone from the Qin family who came last time. It has been buried in the sand. There are Gu worms in his body, so no animals approached him. He doesn’t rot. Say, did the Qin family deliberately leave this person behind for the people who came to save them to discover?”
“It’s possible.”
Li Yan had just finished speaking when he felt the sand move under his feet.
He subconsciously hugged Chu Luo’s waist and jumped down.
Lu Feng quickly said to them, “Oh no, the quicksand is moving.”
At this moment, the sand dunes were moving everywhere, as if they were being pushed around by something.
At this moment, miserable cries could be heard clearly.
Li Yan thought for a moment and said, “Go save the Sun family first.”
Everyone walked over.
Lu Feng was so anxious that a layer of cold sweat appeared on his back, but he didn’t dare to say anything at this moment.
When they arrived and saw the scene in front of them, Chu Luo and Li Yan’s expressions darkened.
If it were only the Sun family, it shouldn’t be a problem for them to deal with these wolves.
However, the current situation was that many of the Sun family’s soldiers were injured. Under the moonlight, Third Master Sun and Sun Tianhao were dealing with a few wolves alone. The people from the other two families were standing at the side and watching.
