Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Alpha vs Alpha
"It’s a wolf pack!"
The howling wasn’t far away.
Lin Fan hurriedly lay down at the entrance of the cave to look out.
Under the moonlight, a prairie wolf as large as a calf stood on a rock about twenty meters away,
constantly howling up at the sky.
Its deep blue eyes glinted with cold light.
And at that moment, next to the tall rock,
several pairs of the same blue eyes pierced the night, rather unsettling.
"They haven’t spotted us, have they?"
Xu Zhi Rou’s heart tightened, and she instinctively poked her head out,
but was abruptly seized by Lin Fan.
"Clearly they have."
Back inside the cave, Lin Fan hurriedly doubled down on making the slingshot.
"Luckily, it’s not a brown bear, they are not so tough to deal with."
Xu Zhi Rou exhaled in relief.
In her mind, the strength of a wolf pack was far inferior to that of a brown bear.
"You haven’t seen how strong a pack of wolves can be in a fight,"
Lin Fan immediately countered her thought.
"The terror of a wolf pack lies not in the bravery of the individual, but in the wolves’ coordinated attacks, which is why we are called the Fangs of the Wolf. The inherent wolf nature in them is one of never forgetting a grudge; once the attack command is given, they will carry it out without hesitation, just like today’s brown bear would abandon its companion, but a wolf pack will never do that. They’ll keep pressing forward as long as the alpha wolf hasn’t ordered a retreat, never backing down."
"So, they are even more formidable than the brown bears!"
Hearing this, Xu Zhi Rou immediately grew tense.
Everything was as Lin Fan had predicted.
The deeper they went into the central region, the more dangerous.
"One-on-one, a wolf definitely loses, but in team combat, a brown bear stands no chance."
Lin Fan pulled back the freshly made slingshot.
The tendon’s pull strength was indeed impressive.
"What do we do now?"
Xu Zhi Rou looked at Lin Fan nervously,
not realizing when she had grown accustomed to obeying him.
"Wolves can last without food or water, but we can’t. You stay by the cave entrance to keep them from getting an opportunity, while I go out and take care of the alpha. After that, the pack will collapse."
Lin Fan then pocketed the Obsidian he had collected off the ground,
and crouched low as he walked outside.
"Brother-in-law, be careful,"
Xu Zhi Rou whispered as she drew the dagger at her waist.
"Don’t worry, remember, unless absolutely necessary, don’t shoot. It would only bring more trouble if it drew others here."
After saying this, Lin Fan boldly shot out of the cave,
stepping over the scattered stones as he walked toward the wolf pack.
This action briefly stunned the encroaching pack ready to surround him,
Especially the alpha wolf on the high ground, which stared intently at every move Lin Fan made with its alert eyes.
"Hey, you’re an alpha wolf, and so am I, why not save face for each other and pretend we never met?"
Holding the newly made slingshot, Lin Fan smiled at the alpha wolf on the boulder.
Unfortunately, even though he too was an alpha,
the other party clearly didn’t understand his words.
"Auuu..."
As if sensing a challenge,
the alpha wolf howled skyward, leaping down from the boulder.
Its calf-sized body brimming with power.
"It looks like you won’t leave it alone without a fight today?"
Lin Fan had initially thought of using the slingshot to blind one of its eyes,
but seeing its readiness for a duel, he changed his mind,
stowing away the slingshot into his waist.
Lin Fan stopped, assumed a starting position,
and beckoned to the alpha wolf right in front of him.
"Auuu... Auuu... Auuu..."
As the man and the wolf faced off,
the surrounding wolves all began to howl,
as if cheering on their alpha.
"Come on, let’s see if the real alpha wolf is fiercer, or the false alpha wolf is braver,"
Lin Fan said with a smile, beckoning with his fingers.
But just at that moment, he noticed
even more wolves emerging from behind the boulder.
The wolves, constantly growling, turned out to be in dozens.
Although none were as large as the lead wolf.
But such a large number of wolves, Lin Fan was seeing for the first time.
"Oh, I didn’t expect you to be a reinforcement commander, you indeed qualify to have a one-on-one with me," he said.
Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction.
The blood boiling within him suddenly made him feel the thrill of a man-to-man duel.
He could hardly wait to fight this fellow.
"Awooo!"
Suddenly, the lead wolf let out an angry roar.
With a push from its hind legs, it pounced towards Lin Fan.
Its two front paws aimed directly at his shoulders.
That gaping mouth aimed at his windpipe.
It was clearly aiming for a fatal blow.
"You’re still too green to fight me," he taunted.
Without moving, Lin Fan’s eyes captured every move of the lead wolf.
Suddenly stepping forward half a step, his right hand shot up from below.
"Awooo!"
This slap, right under the gaping mouth of the lead wolf,
With a cry, the wolf, struck by a slap-like force, was sent flying to the side.
The lead wolf, huffing through its nose, quickly got back up.
Its mouth dripping with blood, its bloodshot eyes intensified the stench of blood around it.
"Hey, that’s from biting your own tongue, don’t blame others!" he taunted.
Watching it crouch down once again,
Lin Fan chuckled and clapped his hands.
This didn’t feel like fighting a wild wolf.
It rather felt like he was teasing a pet dog at home.
"Awooo!"
Before Lin Fan could finish,
the lead wolf charged again.
This time, it was faster.
Clearly, it had just been probing before.
"Bring it on!" he shouted.
The lead wolf’s movements still couldn’t escape Lin Fan’s eyes.
With a cold smile on his lips, he also charged forward.
In the moment of convergence, Lin Fan proactively stuck out his left arm.
Directly into the wolf’s mouth.
Before it could clamp down, his right hand, formed like a knife, smashed into the wolf’s throat.
Zhonghua Martial Arts, profound and extensive, had plenty of such simple tricks.
But the lead wolf was clearly unaccustomed to such tactics.
Struck in the throat mid-air, it yelped and fell to the ground.
But the next second, Lin Fan’s right leg had already swept across.
"Awooo!"
The scream resounded again.
As the lead wolf was knocked to the ground, the other wolves around howled up to the sky.
Although he couldn’t understand what they were saying,
Lin Fan felt like they were cursing in the street,
even more viciously than a fleeing brown bear.
"Are you coming again, or shall we all go at once?" he taunted.
Pleased with himself, Lin Fan gestured to the lead wolf with a flick of his finger.
But before he could speak again, Xu Zhi Rou’s voice came from behind him.
"You beasts, stay out!" she yelled.
Turning abruptly, he saw that unknowingly, five or six wolves had already lunged towards the entrance of the cave.
If not for Xu Zhi Rou blocking them with her body,
they would have probably already rushed in.
"Playing the trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain, huh? Fine, I’ll play along!" Lin Fan said.
This time, it genuinely enraged Lin Fan.
To think that he, seasoned on the battlefield, was duped by a wolf.
He then reached for the slingshot at his waist.
Pulling with his left arm, his right arm went taut.
The slingshot, made of powerful sinews, was ready to fire.
"Pfft!"
