Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Ning Yue hurriedly called them together. Some of them did not realize that danger was coming and said in dissatisfaction, “What’s going on? Why did you call us over when we needed to rest after eating?”

However, they only complained a little. After all, it was Ning Yue who called them. Ning Yue was their savior.

“Can’t you behave yourself at a time like this?” Ning Bai said unhappily to the man who had spoken. “We just heard the wolves. We have to be together. We can’t be alone.”

Hearing Ning Bai mention the wolf pack, there was a commotion in the crowd. Some people screamed in fear.

Hearing this person scream, Ning Bai roared, “What are you shouting for? This wolf pack isn’t here yet! We have to think of a countermeasure!”

Countermeasure? What countermeasures could there be? This famine was serious and there was nothing to eat. These wolves were starving. If they encountered people, wouldn’t the wolves risk their lives to kil them?

How could they defeat the wolves with their bare hands?

“Wolves are afraid of fire. Let’s start the fire first,” Ning Yue suggested.

“You said wolves are afraid of fire?” Someone said unhappily.

Ning Yue turned around and sized up the person who was talking. From the moment she went to call them for help, she realized that there were a few discordant voices. These people were not from their Ning Family Village. Ning Yue’s expression changed. When did an outsider sneak in?

“Can’t you look at the big picture at a time like this?” Ning Bai shouted.

Obviously, Ning Bai did not notice that some outsiders had mixed into their group.

However, other than these outsiders, no one would object to Ning Yue’s suggestion. After all, wolves were afraid of fire.

After everyone had gathered the firewood in a circle, they sat in the middle and began to light it.

The fire had barely begun to burn when the howling grew closer. Soon, those with sharp eyes saw more green dots in the night.

“Light it up! The wolves are coming!” Ning Bai shouted nervously.

As soon as he finished speaking, flames shot into the sky. The wolves rushed to the front of the fire.

The wolves were starving. They eyed the people in the fire covetously.

The wolves had a sharper sense of smell. They must have come due to a fragrance. Ning Yue looked around. She did not know what their people had eaten to attract the wolves down the mountain.

“What did you guys eat?” Ning Yue asked.

“I didn’t eat much. Just some steamed buns and cornbread. Oh right, I also drank some water and applied the medicine you gave me.” Ning Bai recalled everything that had just happened and told her everything he had used.

Soon, someone shouted, “What did you give them? Don’t tell me these pills attracted the wolves?”

As soon as he said that, the crowd stirred.

Ning Yue looked at the people who spoke. These people were not from the Ning Family Village.

From the looks of it, the wolf pack’s attack was the work of this group of people. Otherwise, why would the wolf pack specially attack them if they didn’t provoke it?

“We were fine after surviving for so many days. How did we attract the wolf pack when we came here?” Ning Yue sneered.

Ning Bai was about to say something when he realized that these people were not from their clan at all. “Who are you?”

The men paused. They hadn’t expected to be discovered after following them for so long.

They had already planned to follow this group of people. In their opinion, this group of people had great luck.

As long as this group of people found water and food, they would immediately follow them. They would definitely be able to find water and food.

If they hadn’t been smart and followed this group, they might have starved to death on the way.

“Chief Ning Bai, we’re from the neighboring Chen Family Village. We escaped all the way here and heard that a wolf pack was gathering, so we gathered together. However, we didn’t expect to accidentally come to your territory. I’m really sorry.”

One of them, who looked like a leader and looked about Ning Bai’s age, spoke. “We’re hunters from the Chen Family Village. With us around, there’s also a guarantee of survival.”

The meaning of this group was obvious. They could help to deal with the wolf pack.

Although it gave the people of the Ning Family Village a guarantee, if they did not find out the reason why the wolf pack appeared, what if the wolves kept attacking them?

It was obvious that Ning Yue did not believe this group of people.

She stepped forward and approached them for a moment and realized that the group smelled a little.

This was not unusual, because water was in short supply now. It was good enough to have something to drink. There was no more water to shower with.
