Chapter 39 Hilichurls vs. Bleeding Hounds
Chapter 39 Hilichurls vs. Bleeding Hounds
A fulfilling day, is it over...?
Just as the flames at the banquet were extinguished, the low-lying grass in the distance suddenly stirred and rustled.
"Awoo~!"
In an instant, a pack of wolves appeared in the jungle, emitting sharp howls.
It was the same pack of bleeding dogs that the Hilichurls chased away this morning!
Bleeding Dog, also known as the Wolf of the Beast Realm, is a pack-eating species that resembles both a wolf and a dog.
The exhausted Hilichurls had just caught their breath and were preparing to fall asleep when they were forced into battle mode.
If nothing unexpected happens, these bloodthirsty dogs are here for revenge.
The bleeding dogs had a clear division of labor, running around tearing and biting, leaving the exhausted Hilichurls helpless.
In an instant, a chorus of wails erupted.
"Help!"
……
As soon as King Chuqiu poked his head out of the tent, he saw several bloodied dogs surrounding him.
King Chucky, furious at the sight of its brothers lying in pieces, ignored its own still-healing wounds, grabbed its shield from the corner, and charged out.
"Get out of my way!"
With its size advantage, the King of Chuchu swept away all the bleeding dogs along the way with unstoppable force.
Just as the Hilichurl King was caught off guard, several Bloodhounds pounced on him from behind, attempting to knock him down.
"Boss, watch out!"
Before the Chuchu King could react, several muffled thuds came from behind.
The Hilichurl King turned around and saw the Hilichurl Amuk lying on the ground, with several bleeding hounds beside him, struck by wooden spikes.
"Amu, get up! Are you hurt?"
As Qiuqiu Wang spoke, he helped Amu up.
Amu stood up, just about to reply, when he saw...
Smelling the blood on their companions, the bloodhounds rushed over, numbering in the dozens!
After witnessing the assassination of its companion, the wolf king bared its sharp teeth, its eyes gleaming with a cold light.
"Ow—!"
At the wolf king's command, the bloodhounds charged forward recklessly.
At the edge of a dense forest.
Four middle-aged men stood around a bamboo fence on the ground.
"Boss, this many fences should be enough, haha!"
The third brother, oblivious to the sweat on his face, was beaming with joy at the bountiful harvest before him.
"Brothers, you've all worked hard. After we apologize to the Hilichurls, we'll go keep watch for our little brother!"
After saying this, the four brothers connected the fence with ropes and tied a plank at intervals to the bottom, with two wheels attached to the bottom of the planks. In this way, an extremely long fence assembly could be easily pulled away.
As luck would have it, they ran into Xiao Hei and Qi Qi, who were on their way back to camp.
Although it was already dark, Ah Zong recognized Qi Qi at a glance.
"Little girl, what are you doing here?"
"I will accompany Xiao Hei to pay respects to our ancestors."
And so, the group prepared to travel together to the Hilichurl camp.
Inside the Hilichurl camp.
Faced with countless fierce attacks, even with his shield in hand, King Chuchu was struggling to keep up.
While struggling to defend itself against the attack, it protected Amu as it retreated.
"Amu, you...run! I can't hold them off any longer..."
"Boss..."
Amu stared at the bleeding Hilichurl King's arm wound, his eyes bloodshot. He banished all his fear, picked up the stick from the ground, and charged out of the shield's protective range.
"Amu!"
The bloodhounds were exhausted from their charge and didn't react immediately when Amu charged out.
Taking advantage of the moment, Amu rushed up to the wolf leader and struck him on the head with a club.
Before the wolf leader could even dodge, the blow struck him so hard that he saw stars and became dizzy.
Wolf Leader: There's a sixth one!
Upon hearing their leader's howl, the Bloodhounds turned to look, only to be seized by the Chuchu King and sent flying.
Naturally, the wolf leader was kidnapped by King Chuchu and Amu.
"If you guys dare come any closer, I'll smash it to death!"
The King of Chuchu threatened while pressing his shield against the wolf leader's head.
The bleeding dogs looked at them warily, none of them daring to make a move.
The wolf leader let out a low whimper and glanced in horror at the shield above his head, which was teetering precariously between his brows.
Upon hearing the whimpering, the bleeding dogs retreated to a distance of ten meters.
Before the bleeding hounds could react further, the Hilichurl King, whose wounds had ruptured and which had caused him to lose too much blood, staggered, released his shield, and collapsed to the ground.
"Aww~~~!"
Wolf Leader: Didn't I tell them to back off? How come the shield still landed on my head?!
The wolf leader, struck by the shield, let out a painful howl that echoed through the sky.
Upon seeing their wolf leader attacked, the Bloodhounds instantly swarmed forward, gritting their teeth, attempting to surround the fallen Hilichurl King.
Just at this critical moment, a noisy whistling sound came from not far away.
The four brothers have arrived, dragging the fence assembly!
Following closely behind were Qiqi and Xiaohei.
After taking a clear look at the situation in the camp, Ah Yin quickly lowered his head to think of a solution.
"Third and fourth brother, you two take the bows and arrows from the camp. Ah-Zong and I will build a large circle with the fence, let the Hilichurls come out first, and then I will close the exit. You two aim your arrows at the Bloodhounds!"
As Ah Yin dragged the fence assembly along, he excitedly gave instructions to his three brothers.
As the saying goes, enemies are especially hostile when they meet.
Ah Yin came to apologize, but unexpectedly ran into her brother's killer.
The chance for revenge has arrived!
After understanding what Ah Yin meant, Xiao Hei quietly circled around to the back of the camp and tried to summon the Hilichurls with the unique drumming rhythm of the Hilichurls.
Upon hearing the drumbeats, the Hillocks, disregarding their injuries, scrambled to their feet from the wrecked ground and gathered towards the sound.
The bewildered bleeding dogs were about to turn around to look when they saw Ah Yin and Ah Zong rushing over, one after the other, dragging an extremely long fence.
Although the Bleeding Dogs didn't know what it was, the loud, continuous clanging sound it made as it rubbed against the ground caused them to retreat repeatedly, their eyes filled with fear of the unknown.
While the Bloodhound was confused, Amu pushed the Hilichurl King onto the shield on the ground and dragged it towards the source of the drumbeats.
After Ah Yin observed that there were no more Hilichurls nearby, he raised one hand and gave a signal to Ah Zong behind him.
Ah Zong understood and pulled the rope, running towards the horizontal line next to him, causing the fence assembly to crash into the bleeding dog parallel to it.
The bloodhounds stared at the rapidly approaching fence, and in their fright, they were thrown into chaos, frantically bumping into each other in a pathetic state.
The next second, the bleeding dogs were knocked a meter or two away by the fence like bowling balls.
Before the bleeding dogs could recover, Ah Yin and Ah Zong bent down in unison, pulled out the ropes controlling the wooden planks at the bottom of the fence, and erected the fence, enclosing all the bleeding dogs.
Seeing that Ah Yin's plan had succeeded, the third and fourth brothers confidently raised their bows and arrows towards the circle, ready to draw the string and shoot.
"No, don't hurt them..."
