Chapter 394 - Wolf

Chapter 394: Chapter 395 Wolf

The trees in the hunting park were not new trees; they were tall and leafy, almost covering the moon in the sky. Because of the rain yesterday, the soil on the ground was sticky and slippery, very difficult to walk on. If one was not careful enough, it was very likely to slip over.

A gust of night breeze would blow past me from time to time, stirring the damp and stuffy air permeating the forest, making it difficult to breathe. Before I knew it, I was already sweating profusely. When the leaves were moving, I always wouldn’t be able to help myself but think that that hungry wolf would jump out and attack me.

Because I relied too much on the flashlight, my eyes could not adapt to the darkness around me. Gritting my teeth, I switched off the flashlight and put it back in my pocket.

Liu Xiaosheng, who was walking in front of him, could not help looking back and asked with a stiff smile, “Mr. Chu, why are you following me?”

‘Are you stupid? If I don’t follow you, how do I know where your trap is? Moreover, I don’t know anything about hunting. If I don’t follow you, I probably will never be able to see what that wolf looks like, let alone winning you!’ Of course, I couldn’t say this to Liu Xiaosheng, I could only curse him in my mind repeatedly. “You are holding the flashlight, of course, I have to follow you.”

“Mr. Chu, don’t you have one as well?”

“It’s broken.”

“But you were just using it, how did it break? If you want, we can swap our flashlights. I can give mine to you.”

“No need, Mr. Liu can just regard it as I’m scared.”

“Oh? There are also things in this world that Mr. Chu is scared of?” Liu Xiaosheng chuckled and said. It was as if he wanted to say that I was not scared of him, so why would I be scared of a wolf?

However, I ignored him. I sniffed with a frown and asked, “Did you smell a strange smell?”

Liu Xiaosheng was dazed, “What smell?”

“I don’t know how to explain it. It’s a foul smell. Since we entered this park, I always feel like this foul smell has been following us.” I couldn’t help but say, ” Do you think that it could be that wolf? After all, it’s a canine. It must have a keen sense. Maybe it noticed us when we entered the park?”

“Mr. Chu, your sense of smell is also very keen. I don’t smell anything at all.” Liu Xiaosheng indirectly insulted me, saying that I was like a dog. He probably thought that I wanted to change the topic, so he said with a smile, “Besides, wolves are not foxes, how would they have a foul smell? You must be thinking too much, Mr. Chu. Also, we shouldn’t continue to stay together.

“You see, we have walked this far, but we still didn’t see any traces of the wolf. We have probably scared it away, so in my opinion, we should split up to look for it. Firstly, it will be easier to attract it. Secondly, this is a competition, after all. So we can’t stay together all the time. What do you think?”

I had read in a book before that wolves were cunning animals not inferior to foxes. If they wanted to attack humans, they would first follow humans, creating psychological pressures. When human beings were in disarray due to fear, they would attack without hesitation…

Therefore, although I nodded, I still followed Liu Xiaosheng.

When one was acting shameless, one would be unbeatable. Liu Xiaosheng was speechless but he couldn’t do anything to stop me from following him. In the end, he gave up talking to me and increased his walking speed. Walking through the woods, passing through the bushes, jumping over the creek, and climbing the rock slopes, this fellow was really agile. He actually ran quickly for more than ten minutes, causing me to almost lose him.

Seeing that he really couldn’t get rid of me, Liu Xiaosheng became slightly annoyed. When he reached a relatively open slope, he couldn’t help stopping. He turned around and asked me angrily, “Mr. Chu, did you not understand what I said?”

Liu Xiaosheng was panting, and so was I. In order to get rid of me, the terrains he chose were all difficult to move around, so it was very exhausting. I smiled and said, “I understand. But… it just happens that I’m also going this way!”

This reason was very lame. Liu Xiaosheng didn’t believe me at all, “This is a mountain forest, what do you mean that you also want to go this way? Mr. Chu, are you messing with me?”

The place we were now standing had few trees blocking the moonlight, so I could see Liu Xiaosheng’s anxious expression clearly without using a flashlight. Because of excessive physical exertion, his face was flushed and he was sweating heavily. However, my condition was not much better than his. If it weren’t because the gun he carried was more burdensome than the crossbow I carried, I wouldn’t necessarily be able to keep up with him.

I climbed onto a big rock, sat down, and said to him with a smile, “Talking about messing with people, I think it is you who wants to mess with me, right? Mr. Liu. Otherwise, why do you want to exhaust your strength to get rid of me? It doesn’t look like you are interested in looking for the wolf at all.”

Liu Xiaosheng’s face changed immediately as if his plan was exposed by me. An unnatural expression flashed past his face, and he said coldly, “I just want to split up and then hunt the wolf by myself, lest Mr. Chu would claim that it is you who killed the wolf. Speaking of which, isn’t this what Mr. Chu likes to do the most? Once bitten twice shy. I was tricked by Mr. Chu once, so naturally, I wouldn’t want to fall for the same trick again.”

Even though I was a shameless guy, after Liu Xiaosheng pointed out what I was thinking, I still couldn’t help blushing. To be honest, Liu Xiaosheng indeed didn’t take the initiative to mess with me. On the contrary, because of Shu Tong, it was me who caused trouble to him first. Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but be a little hesitant. Could it be because Guo Xiang and Zhang Mingjie had asked me to be extra careful, so I was so wary of Liu Xiaosheng?

Just when I was hesitating whether I should split up with Liu Xiaosheng and win him fair and square, I suddenly heard a rustling sound behind me. My heart tightened, and my head suddenly turned back subconsciously, just happened to meet the two gleaming eyes leaping out of the grass. It was the eyes of a wolf!

“Oh my God!” I screamed in fear instinctively because that wolf was leaping towards me! I fell into the grass below from the big rock in a panic and stumbled six or seven meters before I was finally able to get up. I had completely forgotten that I could shoot it with a crossbow. Even if I remembered it, I probably would not have time to shoot it. After failing to bite me, it landed steadily on the rock. Its sturdy body only paused for a while before pouncing towards me again with its big mouth wide open.

“Mr. Liu, shoot it!” My heart was in my mouth when I saw that the wolf was chasing me. I couldn’t help but shout hurriedly. However, as soon as I turned around, I couldn’t find him anywhere!

“I am aiming at it! Mr. Chu, don’t move! The wolf will move if you move, then it’s not easy to hit it!”

‘Is this guy serious? Do not move? If I ran a little bit slower, I would be this animal’s midnight snack!’ Shu Tong was right. I shouldn’t underestimate Liu Xiaosheng’s ability. In the blink of an eye, he had already run to a tree twenty meters away. He said that he was aiming the gun, but he was clearly trying to climb up the tree!

Without having much time to think, I suddenly changed my direction and dodged the wolf’s pounce with a flashy movement like a matador. The wolf failed to bite me again. I took the opportunity to quickly raise the crossbow to shoot it. The crossbow bolt flew towards the back of the wolf’s head with a sharp whooshing sound. But the wolf was really agile. Its thin waist was twisted into a weird angle, and it actually dodged the deadly arrow. However, the arrow still injured its right hind leg. In spite of that, this was still not good news to me. There was a crossbow that could shoot three bolts at once, but because I thought it was too heavy, I only took the one that could shoot one bolt at a time. But now, how would I have time to cock the crossbow? After being wounded by me, the wolf became even more fierce. Not only did it not run away, but it made it become even angrier.

“Shoot it! Now it’s much easier to hit it! !” I ran towards Liu Xiausheng in a straight line, now he could hit it easily.

“Oh no! I dropped my flashlight, Mr. Chu, I can’t see it clearly!”

Damn this guy! He had clearly been checking my situation using the flashlight earlier, but the moment I asked him to shoot, he told me that he had dropped his flashlight? Who would believe him?

“Shu Tong told me you have great eyesight! How the fuck can you not see in such a bright moonlight?! !” Actually, Shu Tong never said this, I just wanted him to fire the gun immediately. It didn’t matter if he would be able to hit it or not, I hoped that the wolf would be scared away by the gunshot.

Liu Xiaosheng slowly lifted the gun and shouted, “I can’t shoot, it’s a shotgun, I may injure you!”

Motherfu**! He could have fired the gun earlier without injuring me, but he didn’t. Now that the wolf was almost on my back, he was telling me this? He clearly wanted to see me getting eaten by the wolf.

Liu Xiaosheng not only wanted to humiliate me, but he also wanted to use the wolf to kill me!

Only until this moment did I realize that he was also a wolf!
