"The task has arrived, Xu Yi and their group have received their assignnt, no idea what they have to deal with."
"It better not be that terrifying behemoth, if it’s that tricky, it’d be better to just give up."
"It shouldn’t be, if that’s the case, why bother with this challenge at all, no one could pass it."
"I guess it’s wolves, didn’t you hear the howling?"
"It might also be that territory task, this should be the wolves’ territory, so dealing with the wolves should be right."
"This is driving crazy, can’t they just tell the audience?"
"Look, Xu Yi lit a fire in the yard, they must really be preparing to face the wolves outside."
"Fighting the wolves at night is a bit of a disadvantage."
"Xu Yi just opened the door, are they really going to fight the wolves head-on?"
Xu Yi opened the gate of the fence, because if the wolves ran away and they had to chase them, it would be very difficult.
Unless this rain stops, Xu Yi might have a chance to track them by scent.
But the rain continues, so opening the gate and letting the wolves in is the only option.
"Xu Yi, will the wolves co?" Lu Ke had already retreated back to the house, holding a crossbow and with a quiver hanging on her waist. However, there was no fear in her eyes.
Either deal with the wolves, or be defeated by them and give up.
It won’t take 52 hours, the decisive victory will happen tonight.
"They should co, they’ve been here before." Xu Yi added so wood to the fire and then closed the thatched door. Then, he made a hole in the wall.
"Lu Ke, aim here, our target is to take down the head wolf first." Xu Yi said to Lu Ke, as their main target was indeed the head wolf.
"Yes, the head wolf usually appears last, and it looks particularly strong." Lu Ke ca over and positioned her crossbow at the hole.
"That’s usually the case." Xu Yi nodded, then made another hole in the door and peeked through.
"Dear audience, we’ve taken on a territory task, our host requires us to kill the head wolf within 52 hours. If we fail to complete the task, we will lose everything we have now. So, we accepted the task."
"Now, Lu Ke and I are ready to repel the wolf pack’s attack. This is the wilderness, where danger can appear at any ti. Safety is only temporary."
"However, we are not afraid, but rather a bit excited." Xu Yi said as he touched his chin and exchanged a look with Lu Ke.
Indeed, he saw no fear in Lu Ke, only a bit of excitent.
If they cannot handle the wolf pack, their challenge won’t last long.
If they subdue the wolves, not only do they prove their strength, they also gain plenty of at.
For a long ti thereafter, they won’t need to worry about food.
Moreover, they will gain not just wolf at, but also precious wolf pelts.
If there are enough pelts, they can be used to make blankets and clothes.
"Who knows how many wolves will show up, or if it’s the sa pack that attacked yesterday." As he spoke, Xu Yi’s gaze fixed on the doorway.
Typically, a small wolf pack consists of about seven wolves. Hence, the saying "seven wolves". Of course, there are larger packs which might reach forty or fifty, and there’s always a Wolf King.
"Now, let’s wait and see." Xu Yi said, then fell silent, eyes fixed on the scene outside.
Ti passed bit by bit, but the wolves did not appear.
"It’s been almost half an hour, could the wolf pack have left already?" Lu Ke looked out beyond the fence, it was pitch black with no movent.
The flas of the fire pit in the yard grew smaller, which made Lu Ke a bit uneasy.
If the flas went out, they wouldn’t be able to see the wolves.
"No, they’re still out there." Xu Yi spoke in a deep voice, having spotted a wolf lurking outside, seemingly waiting for sothing.
Xu Yi glanced at the fla, the head wolf might be waiting for it to extinguish.
However, if it actually went out, that would be troubleso.
Not being able to see was their biggest disadvantage.
Lu Ke gave Xu Yi a glance, outside was so dark, could Xu Yi even see?
She had no idea that Xu Yi’s vision had been enhanced.
Of course, Xu Yi couldn’t see very clearly either.
The audience in the livestream could see outside clearly thanks to a floating cara ball Xu Yi had set up.
The cara ball had a very strong night vision capability, making the outside look like twilight.
"These wolves are really patient, still haven’t attacked yet."
"Are they waiting for the flas to go out? If so, they’re too smart!"
"Could be they’re just afraid of the fire, they were driven back by charcoal last ti."
"I’m curious how Xu Yi possibly knows the wolves are still out there. Can he see them?"
"No way, maybe intuition. See, even Lu Ke didn’t see the wolves."
"Co on, wolves, just attack already."
"If it weren’t for this damned territory task, they could just close the gate."
"If this continues, the fire outside will go out and if the wolves co in then, it won’t be good."
Xu Yi looked outside, then said to Lu Ke, "I’m going outside to add so wood to the fire. If any wolves co in, don’t rush to attack, our target is the head wolf."
"Then be careful, I’ll keep an eye on the head wolf." Lu Ke replied to Xu Yi, knowing the fire couldn’t go out.
If it went out, they couldn’t see the wolves, making bows and crossbows unusable.
So, Xu Yi opened the door.
After opening the door, Xu Yi carried a bundle of firewood out.
He drew his machete, cut the vines binding the firewood, and began adding wood to the fire.
He constructed a tower shape above the fire with so logs.
This way, the fla would be larger and the light would reach further.
After setting up, Xu Yi saw that the wolves had not moved outside.
Xu Yi let out a cold laugh, then walked to the fence and knocked on it with the back of his knife.
"Co on, don’t you want to eat at? Co in."
Alas, Xu Yi couldn’t bear to kill a doe rabbit and use its blood scent to provoke the wolves.
Otherwise, it would attract the wolves more easily.
After Xu Yi shouted for a while, a few wolves stirred, but none rushed at Xu Yi, seemingly waiting for the head wolf’s command.
Gotta admit, the wolf pack was indeed very disciplined.
Xu Yi turned to head back inside.
And then, the wolves made their move.
As Xu Yi reached the doorway, the wolf pack rushed into the courtyard.
"Xu Yi, the wolves are here!" Lu Ke shouted, warning Xu Yi to watch his back.
