Jiang Xia looked at Zhou Lan with a helpless expression. She couldn’t reveal her special ability at this critical moment, so she had no choice but to depend on her mother’s strength. Jiang Chuan, thinking along the same lines, also turned his gaze towards Zhou Lan.
Feeling their intent gazes, Zhou Lan shivered. In a hushed voice, she questioned, “Why are you two staring at me?”
Jiang Xia leaned closer to Zhou Lan, whispering, “Mother, our survival this winter depends on these peoples. We can’t afford to let them die.”
Hearing Jiang Xia’s words, Zhou Lan looked seriously at the pack of wolves, then shook her head at Jiang Xia. It wasn’t that Zhou Lan didn’t believe in her own skills, but she truly couldn’t handle so many wolves. Charging at them would be suicidal, wouldn’t it?
Jiang Xia naturally didn’t think this way. She had observed the state of Shen Mo and the others along with the wolf pack when persuading her mother to act. The pack was large, and if they were to attack like they did last time, no one would escape.
But now, the wolves and Shen Mo and his group were in a standoff, not attacking immediately. They must be afraid of something.
According to Jiang Xia’s observation, the wolves were probably afraid of the pistols. Firstly, other than pistol, there were no other easily carried weapons with such lethal power. Secondly, the bloodstain on Shen Mo and the others looked more like blood splattered on them than blood flowing out of their clothes.
The current situation of Shen Mo and his group was likely that they were running low on bullets. Thus, they didn’t dare to use them recklessly. But this standoff was not a solution either; they would eventually be devoured by the wolves.
So, what method should she use to contact Shen Mo and his group so that they could cooperate and escape together?
Jiang Xia leaned closer to Zhou Lan’s ear and said, “Mother, Shen Mo and the others should be armed. If we cooperate well, we should be able to rescue them without getting hurt.”
“How should we do that?”
Although Zhou Lan was often unreliable and liked to think about random things, she was a good listener and would heed Jiang Chuan and Jiang Xia’s advice when it came to serious matters.
“We need to find a way to approach Shen Mo and his group now,” she said.
Jiang Xia surveyed the area and frowned. She couldn’t think of a solution yet.
Just when Jiang Xia was looking distressed, Jiang Chuan suddenly made a sign with his mouth – water.
That’s right! The water from her interspace could attract herbivores when poured on the ground. When the herbivores came to eat, they could use the opportunity to mask their movements and get closer to Shen Mo and his group.
But wouldn’t it arouse suspicion if a large number of animals suddenly descended the mountain?
Despite her concerns, Jiang Xia didn’t have time to hesitate. The standoff between Shen Mo’s group and the wolf pack was increasingly unfavorable. She had to give it a shot.
As soon as she poured the water from her interspace on the ground, Zhou Lan could hear the sound of animals running in the distance.
Zhou Lan gave Jiang Xia a look, and Jiang Xia immediately grabbed Jiang Gu and followed behind her mother, with her father at the rear.
Zhou Lan wasn’t the only one who heard this sound. The wolves were the first to sense it. The alpha wolf in the lead howled as a warning. Through the gaps in the grass, Jiang Xia saw four wolves turn their eyes toward the direction of the running animals, while five others were still confronting Shen Mo.
Normally, the herbivores would flee at the sound of wolf’s howl, but it was different now. The animals were lured by the interspace water and could not care about anything else.
The sound of the herd of animals running got closer, and the alpha wolf attention was diverted away from Shen Mo’s group. Just then, Zhou Lan had already led Jiang Xia and others close to Shen Mo.
Seizing the opportunity, Shen Mo shot the Alpha wolf.
The alpha wolf was injured, with blood continuously pouring out from its wound. Its agonized howl instantly echoed far and wide. Upon seeing their leader injured, the rest of the wolf pack disregarded any other sounds and pounced on Shen Mo.
Three wolves lunged at Shen Mo together. In a flash, Shen Mo shot two wolves in the head with his gun. However, another wolf that was initially targeting Wang Wen suddenly shifted its focus to Shen Mo.
The wolf was incredibly fast, and Shen Mo’s gun had run out of bullets. Just when he thought his life would end there, out of nowhere, a figure burst from the bushes. In the blink of an eye, a tree trunk as thick as two human arms knocked over the two lunging wolves.
The figure didn’t pause in front of him but immediately knocked away the grey wolf that was pinning down the others in the next moment..
