Lewis was shocked to see so many wolves. What was going on today?
It was so weird!
Joey and Sarah were scared to death.
The four bodyguards John Walter had brought along immediately pulled out their guns.
Men from the Village of Giant Salamanders also prepared their bows and arrows to confront the impending danger.
Marco quickly went over to Sarah. Although Sarah was cruel to him, he had to protect her.
Everyone was nervous and battle-ready. As soon as John Walter gave the order, they would have to risk their lives to fight against the ferocious wolf pack.
No one was aware of the wicked eyes up in the big tree behind the wolf pack. Of course, they weren’t some wolf’s eyes. They were human eyes.
It was Sam who was lurking in the tree.
John Walter had hooked up with Cindy on the day he arrived at the village, which shattered Sam’s long-cherished dream. Thus Sam hated his guts. He had hated John Walter so much that he wouldn’t hesitate to kill Joey, Sarah, Philip and the four bodyguards along with it.
Indeed, Sam wanted everyone dead, including John Walter and everyone else from the city. He would like to see them being eaten alive by wolves.
Last night, he quietly left the village and spent the entire night looking for wolf dens in the deep mountains.
Sam had lived in the mountains for over thirty years and killed hundreds of wild animals. He certainly had no difficulty in finding a wolf den.
He could easily find ways to entice wild wolves out of their dens, got them all together and finally drove them to the place where he wanted them to be.
Like right now!
“Kill them!”
There were hundreds of ferocious wild wolves out there. John rose from the comfortable chair and gave the order.
“Bang bang!”
Bullets were whistling in the air.
All of a sudden, they started to fire with guns and shoot arrows at the wolf pack.
Joey found that the wolves were approaching and her voice was trembling.
She knew Philip would have escaped without her on his back. If they had to die, then one death would be much better than two deaths. Philip had helped her out for several times in the past few days. She couldn’t bear the thought of killing him because of her.
“Silly girl, didn’t you forget what I had said? Love is all about devotion and persistence. I knew I wasn’t joking!”
Philip was upset.
He looked around for natural shelters. Finally, he found a natural cave in a nearby cliff across a river.
Luckily, the river wasn’t deep and they could see sand and stones at the bottom of the river. Philip believed it was no more than one meter deep.
Without hesitation, Philip jumped into the river with his last bit of strength and pushed Joey into the cave in the cliff. He picked up a large tree branch and guarded at the entrance to the cave.
Soon several wolves caught up with them and jumped at Philip. Fortunately, Philip was in so advantageous a position that they couldn’t touch him at all. They took a few good hits instead.
Eventually, it was a standoff.
Philip was guarding at the entrance to ward off the wolves, while the latter were standing several meters away to keep Philip from leaving the cave.
