Li Changfeng pressed the wolf's head firmly and pointed to the long sword in Buck's hands.
There came a creepy screech in a sudden. Li Changfeng cut down the wolf's two forelegs and pulled out a burning stick from the fire, then putting it on the wolf's wounds.
At the dark night, only the scream echoed continuously in the desolate gobi.
Xiaodie covered her ears and showed sympathy when seeing Li Changfeng's action. Although she knew the wolf didn't deserve mercy, she couldn't bear the miserable yell.
Under people's confused sights, Li Changfeng picked up the wolf and threw it out. After landing on the ground, the wolf shouted out again due to pain. Every time when the wolf wanted to stand up, its mouth would hit the ground heavily because it lost forelegs. The wolf then released painful howl constantly.
"I got it!" Buck understood Li Changfeng immediately when he witnessed that other wolves saw the wolf on the ground in panic.
"Got it? This is power of wisdom!" Li Changfeng brushed his hair back in a proud face. Then he returned the sword to Buck and hinted that other people should take same actions.
Under the guidance of Li Changfeng, Buck and other men successfully finished the same move, though they were hurt by wolves. Instantly, the painful screams resounded around the fire.
…
"Power of wisdom…"
Xiaodie pouted, covered her ears and gave a dissatisfied glance to Li Changfeng. Although the bloodcurdling screams scared the wolf flock and stopped the wolf flock's actions, people here were tormented by the noise. Except for Oscar, who was barbecuing the wolf, almost all people including Buck covered their ears.
"Em…There are both advantages and disadvantages. It's better the battle in the evening, right?" Li Changfeng got embarrassed and rubbed his ears. He was really envious of Oscar because Oscar's thick hair could impede the noise.
As the sun rose in the sky, the wolf flock had left already. Around the fire were three howling wolves that were gonna die soon and the crack sound caused by the unburnt firewood.
"Get up! Hey! Get up!" Li Changfeng had a stretch and pulled up Xiaodie. He then walked to the three wolves and ended their lives by kicking them heavily. Because of their howls, he didn't gain a good rest.
"Keep your spirits up! Prepare to start off at once!"
Yesterday, Li Changfeng didn't show his anxiety because he couldn't ignore other people's lives. It was daylight now. Today was their last day to find the desert giant snake, so Li Changfeng was more anxious than everyone.
The whole group stood up immediately and made preparations. When Xiaodie went to hold the horse, she found that the only horse had become a skeleton. The wolf flock had eaten it, but at that time, nobody had noticed that.
"It's okay! I'll buy a better horse for you when we get back." Li Changfeng gently patted Xiaodie when he observed her sadness.
