Chapter 95: Killing into the Wolf's Den

Baifeng was very angry, and the entire clan was very angry. Baifeng said he was going to hunt down that wolf pack; not a single person had any objections, and instead, they all went to grab their Weapon.

Of course, Baifeng would not be that hasty. Although they had so many people that killing wolves would not be any pressure at all, protective measures still had to be taken. The main concern was rabies, which Baifeng really wasn't confident in treating.

Although ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine prescriptions contain records such as using the brain of a mad dog to treat it, Baifeng dared not guarantee it would be effective, even though by the same logic, the brain of a mad wolf could also be used.

There are other methods, such as the moxibustion method in the "Handbook of Prescriptions for Emergencies," because the rabies virus is not heat-resistant, so moxibustion is effective. Furthermore, Ge Hong also confirmed the onset time of rabies: if it does not break out in seven days, and if it does not break out after three seven-day periods, then one is safe; if it does not break out after one hundred days, then one is largely spared.

It can be confirmed that Ge Hong had extensive clinical experience in treating rabies, but as it seems now, the effectiveness of moxibustion is certainly not going to be very good.

There are also medicinal formulas, such as the Blood-Stasis-Expelling Decoction. The pathogenesis of rabies in Traditional Chinese Medicine is that "stagnant heat in the interior makes one mad." Zhang Zhongjing's formula was still used by some people around the eighties in later generations to treat rabies that had already broken out, and the effect was extremely good, only it was forgotten after vaccines became available.

Of course, Baifeng knew the treatment methods, and these medicines were especially easy to find; he had collected them. It was just that he had never personally treated a rabies patient before; everything came from books and medical case records.

Therefore, Baifeng felt that if it could be avoided, it should be avoided; it would be best if this bad outcome did not happen.

Bamboo Armor does not protect against knives or axes, nor does it protect against bees, but for the biting and clawing of wolves, the protective effect is excellent.

However, there was no time to make better or more refined Bamboo Armor. If they were any later, the tracks the wolf pack left on the road would disappear, and they would have no way to find the hidden wolf pack, especially since it was very easy to rain in the evening now; once it rained, everything would be gone.

The thunder last night was too loud, masking the movements of the wolf pack and the chaotic sounds of the cattle herd, and with no one on guard outside, it allowed the wolf pack to take advantage of the situation.

However, a wolf pack that dared to act wantonly on human territory and even dared to come out on such a thundery night made Baifeng think of the wolf pack he encountered last Winter.

It shouldn't be that every wolf pack could have such a large number and be so bold. Thinking of the gaze of that wolf king at the end, Baifeng felt that this incident must have been done by that pack of wolves.

He had everyone find bamboo to split into strips and tie them to their limbs and bodies. Although it was a bit uncomfortable and walking wasn't very convenient, for fighting wolves, this kind of defense was enough. Besides, they weren't fighting humans, so there was no need to balance protection with agility.

Baifeng had made himself a set of Vine Armor early on, mainly because he was too afraid of death. Now his Iron Armor was in the process of being forged. Baifeng felt that since his intelligence and martial prowess were not the strongest in this era, he would become the one with the best defense and the most cautious in this era.

It was just past noon, and there was still enough time. More than two hundred strong men, carrying Bow and Arrow on their backs, holding a Knife in their hands, and wearing ridiculous bamboo-strip armor, followed Baifeng's footsteps to hunt down that wolf pack.

The tracks of the wolf pack were very clear. Not only were there tracks of them returning, but also traces of them going down the mountain to hunt cattle. Although they overlapped, since the times were different, they were still easy to identify. This also indicated that the wolf pack must live along this path.

The further they went, the clearer the tracks of the wolf pack's life became. They could even see traces of them heading in different directions to forage. Judging by the tracks, this wolf pack had no fewer than a hundred wolves, which was about the same number as the pack they encountered last year.

But until evening, Baifeng and his men still hadn't found the location of the wolf pack. In order not to waste time on futile efforts, Baifeng directly ordered them to set up camp and spend the night in the wild.

With so many of them, let alone a wolf pack, even if a pack of tigers came, they would have to consider whether they dared to attack this group of humans.

Fortunately, the Heavens did not intend to rain that night; the moon was very bright, and there were many stars. They used tree branches to temporarily enclose a camp circle, and several large fires burned all night long.

As soon as the sky brightened in the morning, they extinguished the fires, quickly ate a bite, and then began the journey of pursuit again.

In one morning, although they hadn't seen the wolf pack yet, they could already hear the sounds of the wolf pack. They were downwind, so they weren't afraid of the wolf pack discovering them too quickly, and as long as the wolf pack appeared in their field of vision, the wolf pack would have no chance to escape.

Getting closer and closer, they finally found the lair of the wolf pack: a hillside with a lot of gravel, which also created many caves, just right for the wolf pack to inhabit.

Although seeing the Xiaolang playing behind the big wolves and learning to practice hunting skills was very cute, Baifeng had no pity at all; he was no saint.

Moving further forward, they reached the range of the Bow and Arrow, but there were still few wolves outside. It seemed that most of the wolf pack was not there; it was possible they were still sleeping in the caves.

However, these twenty or so wolves were still wolves, and Baifeng would not turn anyone away. So, he found a good position, drew his bow, and nocked an arrow. That mother wolf seemed to have discovered something and looked toward the direction where Baifeng and his men were hiding.

Baifeng did not hesitate any longer and shot an arrow straight out, which stuck directly into the wolf's body. The others also took the opportunity to unleash a rain of arrows. Only a small half of the wolves below ran away without being hit.

Their cries were very miserable, like a child crying, which made Baifeng feel flustered. However, Baifeng was still waiting for the main force to come out so he could finish them off all at once.

Sure enough, a few wolves poked their heads out sneakily from the cave to see if there was any danger. After testing a few times and finding no danger, they took the lead and ran toward the Luo Clan members who had been shot.

There were too few of these; Baifeng felt it wasn't necessary. They should wait a bit longer, wait until all the wolves came out, and then unleash a concentrated volley.

Sure enough, not long after, the other wolves saw that there was no danger outside and came out one by one to check. Baifeng took this opportunity to signal everyone to shoot at the same time. Another rain of arrows went down, and many wolves were hit.

Seeing that it was about time, Baifeng put down his bow and arrow, stood up, raised his Changdao, and after a loud shout, rushed out to hack at those wolves.

The wolf pack, which had already been panicked by the two volleys of arrows, saw Baifeng rushing down and directly lost the courage of a beast. One by one, they scattered, dodging the incoming blades.

Even their counterattack had no strategy. Except for their numbers, they couldn't compare to the wolves Baifeng encountered last year. Just as Baifeng was wondering if he had guessed wrong, a wolf howl made all the wolves regain their spirit.

Baifeng looked up, and sure enough, it was the wolf king from last year. It was still high-spirited, but this time, he must kill it.
