Chapter 30 The Wolf is Coming

 10 kilometers?

    Chen Chao checked the database and found that wolves can run at a speed of up to 55 kilometers, and they have good durability. They have the ability to run 20 kilometers at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour. If it is a long-distance running wolf, the speed can even exceed that of a cheetah.

    Isn’t that a short distance for a wolf running at full speed? Even if they are walking slowly now, there is less than 30 minutes left for their preparation!

    What can you do in these thirty minutes? !

    From the tribe, there have always been wolves hunting to being alone recently, and I should understand that a pack of wolves should have appeared nearby recently! Relying on gold fingers too much, he only develops his soft power ignorantly, and forgets that now people’s enemies are not only weather, hunger and disease, but also the hordes of beasts that can truly threaten the survival of mankind!

    But it's no use regretting it now. The top priority now is how to solve this matter. Chen Chao patted One-eyed on the shoulder, "Hurry up and inform everyone, the wolf is here!"

    I didn't understand what was in front of One-eyed, but the wolf came behind. He heard three words clearly, and he panicked. You must know that wolves are all social animals, and they come in groups.

    Two of them went back to the cave to inform everyone to be on guard, and one went to call back the people who were still outside.

    Chen Chao walked to the cave and found that Wu was carving something on the stone slab by the moonlight at the entrance of the cave. When he looked inside, many people were already asleep, but he couldn't find Yuan's figure. Now he can only send it. Hope that Yu One-Eyed can find Yuan.

    He told Wu that a pack of wolves had come, and Wu was panicked. The two woke up the sleeping people. The old man and the children were in the innermost part, the woman in the middle, and the man in the outermost part. Now they are looking for a boulder. It's too late to block the cave, and I can only find a way to repel the wolves.

    Gathered the existing weapons in the tribe. The spears and slings used to kill the moa were all recovered. The hunting team also made some weapons when they were not hunting. About 2-4 spears/slings were made per person. , Plus the wave of killing the moa, the average hunting team can be allocated 8 spears/slings, and today 11 stone axes were made.

    But considering that the women of the collection team are also good combat power, if the man is beaten back, there are still women who can go on. So Chen Chao assigned 2 spears/slings to the members of the collection team.

    Yuan also hurried back, followed by One-Eyed, and the two of them were hugging a large bundle of logs.

    correct! wood!

    Beasts are afraid of fire!

    Chen Chao hurriedly asked everyone on the hunting team to carry the wood they saved today, and they were filled with wood around the entrance of the cave. This was only self-protection!

    It's a pity that you can't directly use fire attack, because the Tianyuan tribe is mainly surrounded by mountains and forests. Using fire attack on the wolves will also burn them to death.

    The people in the tribe already knew that there were wolves coming. Although everyone was very scared, when they thought of the dried meat stored in the cave behind them, they were as high as a hill, and there were piles of chestnut mountains. The hard-won good life.

    They looked at the stone axe they were holding, the spears and slings next to them, they were very scared, but they didn't dare to retreat, nor could they retreat!

    Everyone was waiting in fear and sleepiness. It didn't take long before they heard a neat howling of wolf!

    The hunting team, who is always on guard, knows in their hearts that it is the wolf coming!

    And it's a whole pack of wolves!

    The scenery within 10 kilometers of the Tianyuan tribe was constantly switching in Chen Chao's eyes. He watched the wolves start to accelerate under the leadership of the wolves and came straight towards the cave. They had already smelled the smell of dried meat in the cave. The smell of the food scraps that were randomly discarded also smelled the freshest human flesh.

    "Ignite!" Chen Chao said in a deep voice.

    The pyre in front of the "Wa" cave was lit, and the rising flame made the hunting team standing on the outermost layer of the cave feel more at ease.

    Chen Chao counted it. There were a lot of them, about seventy. It was estimated that the entire wolves had been dispatched. There are so many wolves at night. It's not that you can't beat them. They can definitely be beaten. They have plenty of long-range attack weapons and stone axes that are invincible in close combat.

    But for long-range weapons such as spears and slings, the hunting team now only has 6 spears/slings. Once thrown out, they will face the problem of not being able to recover them. There are only 9 stone axes that are invincible in close combat.

    Right now, you can really win the wolf pack, but what happens after you win the wolf pack?

    What about casualties and attrition? In this era, injury is almost equal to death. Li Nong, who is one-eyed and missing two fingers, is really lucky, and so many people who have died have no way to talk about their luck. And misfortune.

    Wu didn't hide inside, he chose to stand at the forefront, standing beside Chen Chao and Yuan. The old man was still holding his horns, holding the only stone knife in the tribe.

    He watched the bonfire burning in front of the cave, the wolves howling at the moon, and watched them charge.

    Chen Chao gave an order, "Throw a spear!" A

    round of spears shot straight out, "swish swish", before the wolves rushed to the bonfire, they were startled by the spear, leaving a few wolves behind. He withdrew.

    Everyone on the hunting team looked at the few wolf corpses dropped by the wolves and cheered. These wolf corpses gave them encouragement and let them know that the wolves were not terrible.

    But they haven’t been happy for long. The wolves started a second wave of charges. Although there were still a few corpses left this time, and this time, a few corpses were dragged back by the wolves, in front of them. Bite.

    Chen Chao discovered that the number of wolves charging began to drop. Thinking of the wolf carcasses they just dragged back, and animals are inherently afraid of fire...

    maybe because they have food in their stomachs, they can no longer suppress their fear of fire, and the damage caused by the spear is also Very huge, animals are also afraid of pain.

    Although the number of charges of the wolves has begun to decline, the number of spears of the hunting team has been reduced to an extent visible to the naked eye.

    After noticing this, Chen Chao gestured to them and told them that only one spear was enough to throw each time.

    Because one shot is 18 pieces, the coverage is enough. Any more shots may just be airdrops, and every spear thrown now has to be carefully calculated, because the piercing effect in the current long-range attack weapons is still long. spear. The current use of slings may be more to crush the wolves.

    Yes indeed! Chen Chao clapped his hands in excitement, and smashed the wolves first before throwing a spear!
