80s Taoism

"It's over, it's over, doesn't it mean that there are no ferocious beasts in the Yingpan Mountain area? How could there be wolves?" Guo Cheng looked ashamed.

Xiong Zizhao said: "I checked the relevant information, and said that the beasts in Yingpan Mountain were basically extinct in the 1950s and 1960s. At that time, wolves were hunted and killed. After the 1980s, the Yingpan Mountains never appeared again."

"It's useless to say these things. The wolf is not dead. Who knows if it migrated from other places?" Liu Jiahui said.

Under the threat of the bonfire, the wolves stayed far away, but they surrounded Liu Jiahui and others. Because they were afraid of the wolves rushing over, Guo Cheng and others kept adding firewood to the bonfire, lest the wolves would attack if the fire was small. But the firewood they picked up was not much, and this area was very barren, and there were not many firewood around. After a while, all their firewood had been thrown into the bonfire.

"Oops! We've run out of firewood! It's over, it's over, it's over. Once the fire goes out, the wolves will definitely rush up. What should we do?" Guo Cheng panicked.

"Don't panic, don't panic. Let's find a way to find firewood around. The wolves are far away and there is no danger yet. We can't panic. This beast is very cunning. If we see that we are scared, I'm afraid it will attack soon." Liu Jiahui said.

Xiong Zizhao nodded: "I'll go over there and pick up some firewood."

After Xiong Zizhao finished speaking, he strode towards the woods near Jujian Peak. The mountains in this direction are steep, and there are almost no wild wolves seen here.

Jiang He hurriedly followed: "Mr. Xiong, let me go with you."

Xiong Zizhao nodded and walked over with Jiang He. It's just that there are not many trees in this area, and there are no dead branches on the ground. The two searched for a while, but could only shift their target to the sparse trees. There are many dead branches on the tree.

"I can climb trees. I'll go up and pick dead branches. You can pick them up below." Jiang He said.

"Be careful." Xiong Zizhao said.

"No problem. I grew up in the countryside. I have often climbed trees in the mountains since I was a child. Although I haven't climbed a tree for many years, this is not a problem for me." Jiang He quickly climbed up the tree.

When Jiang He reached the tree, he broke off the dead branches and threw them down: "Teacher Xiong, in fact, if everyone can climb trees, we can all go up the tree while the bonfire is still burning and the wolves dare not come over. Then the wolves will have nothing to do with us. When the wolves leave, we will come down again. Nothing will happen. Otherwise, the firewood won't last long."

After Jiang He dropped the dead branch, he didn't get off, but sat on the branch and refused to come down.

"You think it's so easy. It's okay to stay on the tree for a while, but if you stay for a long time, you lose your energy, or you get sleepy, what if you fall from the tree? Not all of us can climb trees. What if we can't?" Xiong Zizhao shook his head. He didn't think it was a good idea.

But Jiang He didn't come down, and Xiong Zizhao knew that Jiang He didn't want to share weal and woe with everyone.

"Where's Jiang He? Why didn't he come back with you?" Liu Jiahui asked.

"Guo Cheng came up with an idea. He told everyone to go over there and climb up the tree. While the fire was still raging, the wolves didn't dare to come here. What do you think?" Xiong Zizhao didn't say anything about Jiang He's refusal to come down.

Liu Jiahui heard it, and shook his head: "Old Xiao looks like that, how do you let him climb up? Besides, once we all evacuate, I'm afraid the wolves will attack in advance."

Lao Xiao is fatter and it is more difficult to climb trees.

"Everyone came out together, what's the matter without Lao Xiao? Is Guo Cheng afraid of death and dare not come down?" Guo Cheng has a violent temper and said something directly.

"Don't talk nonsense. Guo Cheng just climbed the tree to get the dead branches down. Now that we are on the tree, it is a waste of energy to climb down. Why don't we all climb the tree and then pull Lao Xiao up with a rope?" Xiong Zizhao asked.

"Forget it, you all go climb the tree, I will stay here alone. With this bonfire, the wolves may not dare to come over." Old Xiao didn't want to drag everyone down.

"Old Xiao, what are you talking about? I, Guo Cheng, am not someone who covets life and fears death and abandons his companions." Guo Cheng said loudly.

Old Xiao waved his hands again and again: "No, no, no. There is no need for everyone to hug each other to death. Don't worry, I will stay here alone, and I will never let those wild wolves rush over. Just feel free to climb up the tree boldly."

Liu Jiahui also said: "No way! We came out together, so we have to go back together. Think of a way to get some branches. Guo Cheng, you are good at climbing trees. Let's go and find some dry branches. As long as there are enough branches to keep the fire here, the pack of wild wolves will not dare to rush over."

"Okay." Guo Cheng said.

Although Guo Cheng was good at climbing trees, he climbed a few trees and did not get many dry branches. The fire was burning so fast that the firewood was consumed very quickly. After two or three hours, the firewood was almost exhausted again. And they have been unable to get dead branches from nearby trees.

Jiang He stayed on the tree and did not come down. He looked at the few people around the campfire from a distance, and he didn't understand why they had to gather together to die. Originally, except for Lao Xiao, everyone could make a living.

The wolves have been waiting for an opportunity, but fire has a natural fear for them. They have been waiting for an opportunity, the flames are getting smaller and smaller, and the wolves are getting more and more anxious, and they can't hold back anymore.

A bold wild wolf suddenly rushed towards Liu Jiahui and others. Liu Jiahui picked up a wet wooden stick and hit the wild wolf vigorously. But the wild wolf was so clever that he made a sharp turn, avoided Liu Jiahui's attack, and ran far away.

"The wolves are about to attack." Guo Cheng also held a wet stick in his hand. It was a wet stick from a tree, and it would not burn in the fire. It can only be used as a weapon for self-defense.

Seeing that the pack of wolves made a tentative attempt, they retreated again. The bonfire is still burning, and it still has a deterrent effect on them.

"No way, we have to find a way to make the fire bigger, otherwise we won't be able to deter the wolves." Xiong Zizhao said worriedly.

"Where are we going to get dead branches now?" Liu Jiahui was sweating on his forehead.

"Leaves are fine too. I just saw that there are thick leaves everywhere under the tree. Let's get as much as possible and add them to the fire bit by bit. These wet firewood can also be dried in the fire. Maybe they can be burned after drying." Xiong Zizhao said.

"Then why are you still standing there, hurry up and get the leaves!" Guo Cheng walked away in a hurry.

"Don't worry, what to do now has to be done collectively. These wild wolves have lost their patience, and they may rush over again." Liu Jiahui said hastily.

"Okay, let's fight!" One person took a wooden stick and walked towards the woods together.

The wolves saw the action here, but the bonfire was still very strong, so they dared not approach. It kept yelling over there.

Liu Jiahui and the others picked up a bundle of leaves and ran towards the campfire quickly. The bonfire blazed again.

After persisting for more than two hours, the wolves still did not leave, but the leaves within a safe distance were almost completely burned.

"Man is not as good as God!" Guo Cheng was so tired that he didn't want to move, "I can't move anyway. I didn't expect that I would be buried in the mouth of a wolf today."

Liu Jiahui also smiled wryly: "It's fate to be able to die with a good brother like you."

"Mr. Xiong, don't take it for granted that I was a little disrespectful to you during the day. In fact, you are quite righteous. Unlike some people." Guo Cheng suddenly sat up and apologized to Xiong Zizhao.

"He may have his reasons. Don't force it." Xiong Zizhao didn't want to talk about Jiang He.

"Anyway, I recognize you as a good brother." Guo Cheng smiled, "You don't look down on me, a vulgar person, do you? Mr. Xiong."

"How could it be? I also like straightforward and straightforward people like you." Xiong Zizhao laughed.

"Brothers, it seems that we are going to have a big battle." Liu Jiahui watched the bonfire slowly go out. And the surrounding wild wolves have slowly approached.

Jiang He on the tree closed his eyes: "You idiots! Why don't you know how to climb a tree after tossing around all night?"

Old Xiao looked at the brothers who accompanied him to death with tears streaming down his face: "Brothers, I'm sorry, I, Old Xiao, dragged everyone down. I'll be the first to feed the wolves later. I have a lot of meat on my body. Maybe the wolves won't eat you when they're full."

"Fatty man, you are still very humorous when you are about to die." Guo Cheng laughed.

Liu Jiahui looked up at the sky: "It's a pity. If we can hold on for another hour or two, maybe it will be dawn. At that time, the wolves may slowly disperse. Unfortunately, we can't wait for that time."

"Let's go! If you die, you will pull a back!" Guo Cheng dragged a blackened wooden stick in his hand and walked towards the slowly approaching wolves without hesitation.

"Let's go! Let's go together!" Lao Xiao also followed.

Several people silently picked up everything that could be used as a weapon, and walked forward without hesitation. The momentum of the few people was not weaker than that of the wolves.

A group of people and a group of wolves are getting closer and closer, and a bloody battle is about to start.

"Woo!"

The wolves stopped suddenly, and then let out a shrill cry.

"Come on! Beast! Come eat me!" Guo Cheng roared, raised the wooden stick in his hand, and slammed it down on a wolf in front of him.

But the wolves suddenly receded like a tide.

In the blink of an eye, it had disappeared without a trace.

"Ha, haha, these beasts are afraid of us. Looks like I'm still handsome!" Guo Cheng sat down on the ground, his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up at all.

"It's so strange, why did this group of wild wolves retreat suddenly? They seem to have seen something terrible." Xiong Zizhao said.

"Yes. They saw the nemesis, and the nemesis is me, Guo Cheng! Haha. If you encounter this group of beasts in the future, you can directly report my name and scare them to death." Guo Cheng laughed.

"Don't make trouble. This is really strange. How could the wild wolves give up at the last moment after waiting all night. Could it be that they encountered more powerful beasts?" Liu Jiahui looked around at the people.

"It's possible!" Xiong Zizhao said.

Just when a few people couldn't figure it out, someone suddenly came over: "Hey, are you all right?"

The people who came were the ones sent by Zhang Jiaohua.

"It's all right. Are you guys of the same path?" Guo Cheng asked.

The man smiled and said, "Probably not. I was entrusted by County Magistrate Zhang to rescue you. Just now we saw a pack of wolves here, who seemed to be besieging someone. So we hurried over to check the situation."

"Fortunately, you are here. What kind of killer weapon did you bring? Why did the wolves retreat suddenly?" Guo Cheng kept asking.

"We have a solution for the wolves."

"It's really thanks to you." Old Xiao thanked him a lot. Even at this moment, Lao Xiao still felt a little guilty for almost dragging so many people to his death.

"You should evacuate quickly. It seems that there are really ferocious beasts in this mountain. Our county magistrate Zhang has been worried about the safety of you guys. Well, are you missing someone?"

"No, that guy is still on the tree over there, a guy who is greedy for life and afraid of death." Guo Cheng looked at Jiang He who was still on the tree with disdain.

It's not that Jiang He doesn't know that this side is out of danger, he can't get down. Sitting on the branch for too long, his whole body was a little numb and exhausted. He couldn't do some actions that were usually simple. There is a danger of falling from the tree if you are not careful. If he had known that there was no danger, why should he be a villain in vain? Jiang He regretted it very much, but things had already happened, and no matter how much he regretted it, it was irreparable.

With the help of several monks, Jiang Hecai came down from the tree. He got down to the ground and sat down on the ground.

Guo Cheng disdained Jiang He very much, and would sneer at him from time to time.

Jiang He was wrong, and he didn't argue with Guo Cheng.

Zhang Jiaohua and Wei Chenguang dragged behind.

"Master, aren't you worried that something will happen to those donkey friends?" Wei Chenguang asked.

"Why don't you worry. But it's useless to worry. Why should I worry? But there shouldn't be anything wrong. With the speed of the leopards, they should have found those donkey friends by this time. I think there should be nothing wrong." Zhang Jiaohua shook his head.

"I'm always worried that they will spoil our good deeds." Wei Chenguang said.

"No, we are not in a hurry to build the Spirit Gathering Formation here now. They may not come here again. Once our Spirit Gathering Formation is activated in the future, the topography of this area will be affected. Even if they come again, it is impossible for them to find the Giant Sword Peak." Zhang Jiaohua is not worried at all.

While talking, the Diamond Mountain Leopard suddenly ran out. Zhang Jiaohua immediately showed a smile: "I knew they would be fine. Leopard came back to report."

Wei Chenguang also let go of a hanging heart: "Fortunately, nothing happened. Young people nowadays like to take risks. You said that if something happened to this, it would be troublesome. Fortunately, the matter was resolved satisfactorily."

Only then can Zhang Jiaohua and Wei Chenguang go to Jujian Peak with confidence.
