"Fool." Lin Chuan hugged Tang Yumeng, saying, "I really wish we could watch the sunset together like this every day."

"Do you think we will still do this when we're old?" Tang Yumeng asked.

"Of course!" Lin Chuan nodded earnestly, saying, "We definitely will."

As the distant sky turned utterly dark, night officially fell.

Awooo...

Suddenly, a howl emanated from deep within the forest.

It was as if this howl warned all creatures in the forest that from this moment on, the master of this forest was itself. The moment Lin Chuan heard the howl, his expression visibly changed.

In his heart, Lin Chuan couldn't help but think: 'Could I really be that unlucky? To have so easily encountered a pack of wolves?'

This howl was obviously from the alpha wolf. Moreover, according to Lin Chuan's experience, it must have found prey and was thus calling its pack. Judging by the sound, it seemed not too far from where he was.

"What's wrong?" Tang Yumeng asked curiously, "Why so tense? Could it be that you're afraid of the dark?"

"Ah..." Lin Chuan's train of thought was interrupted by Tang Yumeng, and he immediately laughed, saying: "Yeah, I'm afraid of the dark. Sister, you will have to protect me."

"Hehe..." Tang Yumeng immediately covered her mouth and giggled, saying: "A big guy like you, afraid of the dark? Don't worry, I'll protect you!"

Having said that, Tang Yumeng pulled Lin Chuan towards the mountain's base.

After jumping down from a rock, the two of them headed towards their campsite. The site was about a kilometer away. It was fine in the daytime, but at night, mountain paths were not easy to navigate. Fortunately, Lin Chuan had brought a high-power flashlight.

A bright beam of light dispelled the darkness as they walked hand in hand down the mountain.

At this moment, Lin Chuan had a bad premonition, and it made him feel somewhat uneasy.

During the whole journey, Lin Chuan was very cautious. Conversely, Tang Yumeng hummed a tune, not bothered by the earlier howl, as if it was just another natural sound of the forest.

Seeing how cautious Lin Chuan was, Tang Yumeng couldn't help but laugh: "Who would have thought you'd be so afraid of the dark?"

"Yes!" Lin Chuan nodded in haste, saying: "Sister, be careful."

"I'm not scared at all." Tang Yu shook her head.

Lin Chuan didn't want to alarm Tang Yumeng. Of course, the most important thing was that he also couldn't ascertain how far away the alpha wolf was. Perhaps, they had just found other prey because, after all, the forest was so large they couldn't have just happened upon him.

However, upon arriving at the campsite, Lin Chuan immediately became dismayed. When his flashlight shone on the tent, he instantly spotted pairs of green, glowing eyes staring back at him, with some wolves tearing into the beef stored in the food bags. Even the trash bags had been ripped apart, and they were gnawing on the bones inside.

"Ah!" Tang Yumeng was stunned by the pairs of green eyes and exclaimed, "Lin Chuan, what... what is all this?"

"Sister, don't be afraid." Lin Chuan hugged Tang Yumeng quickly and then said, "These are wolves."

"Ah?!" Tang Yumeng was so frightened she nearly fainted.

Only then did Tang Yumeng remember that when they were climbing the mountain, two villagers had mentioned that there were wolf packs in the mountains. At the time, they didn't take it to heart, but who would have thought they would be so lucky to run into them.

"What do we do? What do we do?" Tang Yumeng was terrified.

"Don't be afraid." Lin Chuan said to Tang Yumeng with a smile, "Isn't it good that I'm here?"

"But, there are so many wolves here." Tang Yumeng was petrified, and upon a swift glance, she could see more than ten wolves. These wolves had stopped fighting over the beef and instead were staring at Lin Chuan and Tang Yumeng with their green eyes.

At this moment, a bulky wolf emerged from the pack, the alpha wolf with a more piercing gaze and a bulkier body than the others.

Lin Chuan squinted, pulling a dagger from his trouser leg. He grinned and said, "It's been a long time since I've had wolf meat. Finally, I can have a feast."

"What... what did you say?" Tang Yumeng exclaimed.

"Sister, fancy some wolf meat?" Lin Chuan asked.

"I don't!" Tang Yumeng shook her head quickly.

"Heh heh." Lin Chuan laughed and said, "I do."

Awooo...

At this moment, the alpha wolf leapt onto a rock and howled at the sky.

At this moment, the rest of the wolves behind also began to snarl angrily. The pack showed their fangs and started scratching the ground as if they were ready to attack. Lin Chuan scoffed and said, "A bunch of beasts dare to offend me."

Suddenly, a wolf lunged towards Lin Chuan.

It was fast, like a flash of lightning.

"Good timing." Lin Chuan roared.

Lin Chuan's figure flashed, charging forward with a leap, grabbing the wolf's neck with his left hand, while his right plunged the dagger deep.

Pshht...

Blood splattered. Lin Chuan's dagger stabbed straight into the wolf's eye, piercing the eyeball and viciously entering the wolf's brain.

Wuu wuu...

The wolf let out a miserable howl and quickly collapsed. Lin Chuan was holding the wolf, which weighed more than twenty kilograms, with one hand.

Bang...

Lin Chuan flung the wolf away.

The strong and robust alpha wolf stood on a rock. It stared at Lin Chuan with a pair of keen eyes, the look in its eyes revealing a touch of madness and disdain. At this moment, the alpha wolf howled again.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

More than a dozen wolves rushed out rapidly, some darting out of the underbrush, catching Lin Chuan off guard.

If it were just Lin Chuan alone, he would've had no pressure dealing with this pack of wolves. However, now he had Tang Yumeng with him. This seemed to restrain his movements. He needed to protect Tang Yumeng while also confronting so many wolves at the same time.

"Sis, hold onto me." Lin Chuan hugged Tang Yumeng's waist with one arm and quickly leaped out.

"Ah!" Tang Yumeng exclaimed in shock.

All of a sudden, her body was being carried by another, fixed in place as though. Lin Chuan's speed was greatly reduced as a result. He could only retreat quickly. More than a dozen wolves surrounded Lin Chuan in an instant, leaving no way out.

"Damn it." Lin Chuan cursed through gritted teeth.

From the looks of it, the wolves seemed to intend to gobble up both him and Tang Yumeng. Lin Chuan glanced around swiftly, his eyes immediately landing on the tent, and he hurriedly said, "Sis, hold tight, I'm getting you into the tent."

"Okay." Tang Yumeng clenched her teeth and persisted. Her whole body was nearly supported by Lin Chuan's right arm.

Lin Chuan, fighting with one hand, faced the swiftly pouncing pack of wolves. With only one hand, he wielded a dagger and unleashed a frenzied slaughter.

However, since he was constrained by Tang Yumeng's body, his speed was significantly reduced. This meant the wolves had plenty of opportunities to strike.

Suddenly. A wolf on the left sprang out of the underbrush at great speed.

The wolf bared its wide jaws, its limbs tucked in as it leaped at great speed. Its gleaming eyes fixed on Tang Yumeng's throat.

"Ah!" Tang Yumeng screamed out, terrified, and instinctively shut her eyes tight.

Seeing this, Lin Chuan realized it was already too late to react.

Lin Chuan hurriedly let go of Tang Yumeng, and as her body fell, his fist shot forward.

Thud...

The wolf's teeth immediately sank into Lin Chuan's fist.

Splurt...

Lin Chuan showed no mercy, driving the dagger into the wolf's throat and with a swift pull, the wolf's throat was severed in an instant.

Whimper...

The wolf emitted a whimpering sound. Blood gushed from its throat and after several convulsions, it died and stopped moving completely.

"Lin Chuan, you're injured," Tang Yumeng exclaimed in alarm.

"It's nothing," Lin Chuan shook his head.

Tang Yumeng looked at the unceasing flow of blood from Lin Chuan's fist, an injury that appeared quite frightening to her. But for Lin Chuan, such a wound was trivial. A bullet grazing past his heart wouldn't be a major issue, let alone a wolf bite, right?

Lin Chuan said hastily, "Sis, I'll cover you, run into the tent quickly."

"Okay." Tang Yumeng nodded eagerly. She understood that staying would not help Lin Chuan at all, but would instead only be a burden to him.

Lin Chuan grabbed Tang Yumeng's arm and dashed forward in a burst, and the pack of wolves instantly closed in from behind.

Whoosh whoosh...

Several wolves leaped out from behind. Lin Chuan already had a hunch, and at the moment these wolves pounced, he unleashed a sidewards kick.

Bang bang...

Suddenly, two wolves were kicked away by Lin Chuan.

Howl howl...

After landing, the two wolves let out a series of miserable howls. At such a critical moment, Lin Chuan naturally did not hold back; each kick was ruthlessly powerful, dealing lethal blows. One of the wolves had several ribs broken by Lin Chuan's kick.

"Beast, come on," Lin Chuan sneered coldly.

The wolves' assault was sharp. As the two wolves fell back, the others quickly lunged forward, emitting fierce growls. Lin Chuan held a dagger in one hand and had to protect Tang Yumeng with the other. He planned to get Tang Yumeng into the tent and then deal with these beasts once he could fight freely.

With Tang Yumeng constraining him, Lin Chuan was practically unable to contend with the pack of wolves.

Rip...

After several wolves leaped towards him, the dagger in Lin Chuan's hand instantly tore through the hide of one.

Wolf hides are thick, and ordinary knives find it hard to pierce their skin. However, the dagger in Lin Chuan's hand was no ordinary weapon; with one strike, it tore open the hide of a wolf, and even its muscle tissue, causing blood to surge forth. The injured wolf whimpered and quickly retreated.
