Chapter 18: The wolf was bullied
The wolves all stood up, obviously entering a deeper state of alert.
Xu Lai no longer wanted to die. The indifference of the wolves just now gave him greater courage. Now when the wolves stood up, he felt a lot of pressure.
However, he still remembered some of what was said on the TV show, saying that he must never look into the eyes of wild animals, nor should he suddenly run away in front of them.
The former will be considered provocation, while the latter tells the other party that you are prey they can hunt.
Xu Lai forced himself to suppress his heart that was about to jump out of his chest, raised his right hand high, and ordered the troops to retreat slowly.
Oddly enough, the wolves seemed to be on normal alert. Not a few meters after Xu Lai and the others retreated, all the prairie wolves roared and sat down again.
The wolves were much safer when they sat down. Xu Lai was surprised at how he suddenly became so careless about the consequences after coming to this world, while secretly observing the wolves in front of him.
I remember that when he first started working, his parents always taught him to listen more, read more and talk less.
In the past two years, he has been doing this, only talking a few words in front of acquaintances, so that everyone agreed that he was an introvert.
Xu Lai didn't know if he was introverted. Anyway, he hadn't found a girlfriend in the past two years, so he kept this habit.
The more he looked, the more Xu Lai felt strange. He couldn't help but control the horse and took a few damn steps forward.
With a huff, the wolves all stood up again without any surprise, and Xu Lai immediately retreated without any surprise.
But compared to before, he was less nervous this time, and even had the time to control the shooter and Su Ya to retreat.
He is riding a horse. Even if he encounters a surprise attack, he has a chance of escaping. It is really dangerous for Su Ya and the others to be more than 100 meters apart.
After the wolves sat down, Xu Lai continued to urge the horses forward. Once the wolves stood up, he urged the horses to retreat.
After taking the trouble to try several times, Xu Lai can basically conclude that these grassland wolves are not natural creatures at all, but are natural monsters like witches and shooters.
Natural monsters, like natural creatures, do not belong to any camp. They cannot form a country and are scattered all over the world.
And because animals cannot speak or communicate, nor are they engaged in production, their only purpose of survival is to live, even reproduction is for this purpose.
Creatures with higher intelligence think more, want more, and have different purposes for survival.
These have nothing to do with Xu Lai, he just wants to live now.
Getting back to the subject, creatures of the natural system do not belong to any camp and have a neutral relationship with any camp. Even if there is a conflict, it is only partial hostility and not hostility to the entire natural system.
So, the wolves in front of us have a hostile relationship with Gramecun, but by default they have a neutral relationship with Xu Lai and the others.
Before Xu Lai took the initiative to attack them, they were just on alert. Like the six shooters sent out by Xu Lai, they would only take the initiative to attack when hostile targets appeared within the attack range.
Of course, natural creatures are not so rigid. They will take the initiative to attack or escape when they feel threatened. Anyway, they cannot be played by Xu Lai like a fool.
Xu Lai didn't want to play with these monsters for free. He knew clearly that the other party was not even smart, so how could it be fun to play with them.
The purpose of his doing this is still to test and try, to try to find out the difference between monsters and creatures, and to find out the rules that can be used.
Such a huge wolf pack with two wolf kings and more than 20 wolves is a threat to a village with many hunters and level 4 warriors. With the ten shooters under him, it is almost impossible May win. But what if the other party is a bunch of fools? Is there no chance yet? Is Xu Lai really not moved by the heart of the camp-level castle?
“Let’s go home!”
Different from when he came, when he returned, Xu Lai sat high on the horse, head held high.
Just after the hottest time in the afternoon, around the time before dusk arrived, there was still enough light, and a group of more than 20 people appeared again near the wolf lair.
This group of people is none other than Xu Lai, but this time he brought all his belongings with him.
9 farmers, 10 shooters, 1 witch plus Xu Lai and Su Ya, a total of 22 people.
The farmers all took the default weapon, which is the triangular fork used to plant grass in the valley. In addition, they also took advantage of the campfire's tool quota today and all brought a set of hoes and shovels for farming.
Xu Lai led the group of farmers and started digging trenches in front of the wolves.
This ditch is very long, a full 2.30 meters, and the depth is only about half a meter, maybe less than one meter.
It's not that Xu Lai didn't want to dig deeper, but that they spent a lot of time going back and forth. If they dug too deep, it might be dark.
The prairie wolves have night vision, but they do not. Once it gets dark, it is not suitable for them to do anything.
If it were delayed until tomorrow, those prairie wolves who were still seriously injured today would probably have minor injuries and regain their fighting ability.
Xu Lai didn't know whether the deep ravine in front of him was reliable. If such a large group of people could defeat more than a dozen wolves, they would still have a chance to win. If they were to defeat more than 20 prairie wolves, Xu Lai had no confidence at all.
This excavation lasted for more than an hour. With Su Ya’s characteristics and high morale, the farmers moved very quickly without being lazy at all, and they quickly dug up Xu. Come to desired width and length.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Xu Lai no longer waited and immediately ordered all the farmers to insert their pitchforks diagonally forward into the ground. All the farmers held the forks in both hands and squatted half in front of the ditch.
The ditch dug by Xu Lai was not very wide, only a little over one meter. It should not be able to stop the prairie wolf with its extremely strong jumping ability.
However, it cannot exert force in the air. As long as farmers take action at the right time, they can easily fork the prairie wolf into the ditch.
Xu Lai didn't know what happened. He had never fought with anyone before, so he gritted his teeth this time and squatted next to the farmer with his simple spear.
If this was placed in modern society, even if Xu Lai had a hundred more courage, he would not dare to do it. After arriving in another world, it would feel like a broken pot.
Maybe he subconsciously felt that dying in this world would allow him to return to the world he hated before.
Su Ya refused to let Xu Lai stay alone on the front line, so she insisted on taking a shield and protecting it tightly on his side.
The witch has also returned to her human form, and a slow spell has begun to sing.
All the archers drew their short bows in front of the wolves. More than a hundred meters was not the best killing distance, but there was no forest blocking the line of sight, so there would be no big mistakes.
A ray of earthy yellow light fell on the densest place of the wolf pack. The seven prairie wolves, including a wolf king, instantly felt an invisible pressure and their movement speed was greatly reduced.
It was also at this time that the neutral identities of Xu Lai and others were instantly converted into enemies.
