Chapter 286 - Fell Down The Cliff

Lu Lin and Chen Cai who climbed up the trees could see what was happening in front of them, when they saw the pack of wolves charging in their direction after listening to Uncle Du"s voice they shouted to their other team members " prepare, everyone get ready... Arm your bows and attack!"

Lin Jing didn"t bring many young men but the ones he brought were strong and energetic, at once every single one of them armed their bows with arrows and targetted the incoming wolves.

Lu Lin who couldn"t use a bow and arrow hurriedly took out the bamboo pole that he brought and sharpened the edge of it before throwing it at the wolf that jumped and twisted in midair, he couldn"t do much but he could at least obstruct the wolves from crossing the pit traps that he and his teammates dug.

Lin Jing also held a bow and arrow as his eyes glittered with determination, once or twice he would peek out of from behind the tree and aim at the wolves that were surrounding them.

The first to arrive at the traps were, of course, the Alpha wolf, he didn"t jump in the trap stupidly instead stopped to examine the pit trap in front of him. He even howled at the wolves behind him making them stop, the wolves could, of course, smell the scent of humans and meat, especially after losing a few of their packmates, they knew that they were surrounded by humans, thus, they stopped after their leader howled at them. However, there was no shortage of stupid who could resist the temptation of the alluring scent of meat that Lin Jing and his team members laid on bamboo stakes with sharpened tips that Lin Jing and the others embedded in the ground.

The first to jump was a very large pure grey wolf, it leapt in the trap with its mouth open but as it soared in the air, it could no longer hold on to the ground and fell directly inside the trap. As soon as it fell inside the pit trap, a loud sound resonated in the clearing. Its feet hovered in the air, as its underbelly got pierced by the bamboo stakes that Lin Jing and the others embedded inside the trap. Immediately the scent of blood filled the air.

Behind the grey wolf, three more wolves threw them in the trap. By the time the grey wolf got caught in the trap, the three wolves have already jumped in they couldn"t stop themselves even if they wanted to, the pits dug by Lin Jing and his friends were large and deep yet they left the mouth of the traps small so that no Wolf would be able to escape.

Even if any wolf somehow managed to make it out alive by dodging the bamboo stakes it was impossible for it to climb out of the trap.

Almost four wolves were caught in the trap on their own, Lu Lin intercepted a few and made them fall in the pit while ten or more were killed by Lin Jing and his friends" thanks to their good aiming skills.

However, Lin Jing didn"t dare to relax in the slightest, he retreated behind the tree to hide himself further in while he strictly reminded his team members " don"t dare to relax your stance. Keep an eye around the ground, don"t let your cleverness turn into a tragedy..."

Just as those words left his mouth, the Alpha wolf who was the biggest and the largest jumped in the air, twisting itself madly so that he could cross the pit traps. Although the Alpha wolf was the only one who was able to cross the pit traps, he was the most dangerous and deadly one. Behind him, a few wolves howled but he stopped them by howling a bit, the wolves retreated a safe distance after following the Alpha wolf"s subsequent howl.

The Alpha wolf started to sniff around as he advanced in Lin Jing and Uncle Du"s direction.

Lu Lin and the others attacked the Alpha wolf sending flying arrows and bamboo at it, a few escaped while the wolf dodged them but some of the arrows did get lodged in its body. Though Lu Lin together with Lin Jing and the others rained arrows on the Alpha wolf"s body, the latter never retreated, after all, the animals in the forest have frozen to death while the others went to hibernate, If it couldn"t get " food " for his pack maybe, his pack might just die because of starvation!

As a leader he couldn"t allow it, today he would either succeed or die trying.

The alpha wolf seemed to have smelled Lin Jing"s scent, it knew that it couldn"t attack the ones who were sitting on the trees hiding behind the dense snow and everything, so it decided to attack the weakest link and take the meat back to its pack. Lin Jing shot an arrow at the leader but the latter nimbly dodged it, Lin Jing aimed another arrow in its direction but before he could dislodge the arrow, someone pushed him from behind making him slip and roll on the snow right in front of the incoming wolf.

Shocked Lin Jing looked back at Uncle Du who was running away after throwing him in front of the wolf, the others saw this too and they immediately cursed at Uncle Du for being a white-eyed wolf, pushing the one who saved his life in danger. But they didn"t have the time to chase Uncle Du, they all aimed at the wolf and shot their arrows in its direction.

Lin Jing was also quite agile with his hands he was able to grab his hacking knife even if his arrow and now dropped on the ground, just as the arrow collided with the wolf"s side belly and a burst of blood.

However, he wasn"t as agile as he thought he was, though he escaped the alpha wolf"s jaw, he couldn"t dodge its raking claws and soon b.l.o.o.d.y scars formed on his body. The smell of blood made the alpha wolf"s viciousness reach a new height as it rammed its body into Lin Jing sending the two of them rolling down the snowy cliff.

" Brother Jing!"

" Eldest Lin !"

"Lin Jing"

Sorrowful screams resounded in the forest as Lin Jing rolled down the cliff with the Alpha wolf pressing its forelimbs on his shoulders. Lu Lin and the others jumped down the tree rushing to stop Lin Jing but the cliff was too steep and the rolling ma.s.s of Lin Jing and The Alpha wolf was too fast for them to catch on.

Then right in front of their eyes, Lin Jing and the Alpha wolf fell down the steep cliff leaving a trail of fresh blooming blood behind them.
