Chapter 79: Driving Wolves to Devour a Tiger
With no time to think, Luo Yong’s muscles tensed up at the sight of the wolf head emerging from the bushes.
His first instinct was to act, but Luo Ji’s voice stopped him.
Luo Ji glanced at the extended wolf head, then spoke, slightly exasperated.
“Alright, Luo Jin, this is not the time for jokes…”
Upon hearing this, before anyone could react, the wolf head poking out from the bushes suddenly twisted eerily, and a pair of hands emerged from below.
“Rather than a joke, it’s more accurate to say that this area is full of wolves, so wearing this is safer.”
As he said this, Luo Jin, tearing off his wolf skin disguise, revealed his true appearance.
“But, as expected of the Chief, you can even recognize me like this.”
Luo Ji merely chuckled.
That wolf skin disguise was made under his orders.
Although it used real wolf fur and even had the entire wolf head attached, there was still a subtle difference from a real hungry wolf.
Of course, the biggest giveaway was that if it were a real wolf, it would have pounced directly.
Why would it just stick its head out like that?
To disguise himself as a hungry wolf, Luo Jin was now covered in an unpleasant wolf stench, causing Luo Yong, his childhood friend, to frown and unreservedly shoot him a look of disgust, as if retaliating for Luo Jin’s earlier act of scaring him as a wolf.
Luo Jin, of course, wouldn’t be polite with Luo Yong.
He simply pinched his nose, indicating.
“I wouldn’t want to be disliked by someone who smells of shit.”
Ignoring the two bickering men, the grand battle below captivated Luo Ji’s attention even more.
This was not something one could witness just by wishing for it.
The wolf pack, facing the ancient overlord, the saber-toothed tiger, quickly arrayed themselves.
Five hungry wolves feigned attacks and restrained the tiger from the front, while the other hungry wolves swiftly split into two groups and circled around, flanking it.
In the blink of an eye, the saber-toothed tiger was surrounded by the wolf pack.
The wolf pack’s advantage in using group tactics was immediately evident.
Perhaps the wolf pack’s fighting style reminded the proud saber-toothed tiger of the humans it had encountered earlier, as its beastly eyes showed even greater ferocity.
Its burly body instantly displayed astonishing explosive power.
With a ferocious pounce and a swing of its front claws, a hungry wolf, unable to dodge in time, was sent flying.
The immense power easily crushed the bones in the wolf’s torso and even damaged its internal organs.
Blood overflowed from its mouth and nose, and with a single strike, it was utterly incapacitated!
However, the saber-toothed tiger’s powerful strike failed to halt the wolf pack’s offensive.
Maintaining their encirclement, attacks from all directions relentlessly assailed the ancient overlord.
The wounds Luo Yong and Black Jackal had inflicted upon it earlier, before they could even heal, began to tear open continuously due to its violent movements.
Blood flowed from various wounds, filling the surrounding air with a metallic scent.
As if stimulated by the scent of blood, the famished wolves instantly transformed into bloodthirsty beasts, their attacks becoming even more ferocious!
They seemed to be entering a frenzied state!
This was the most primitive and bloody struggle, a scene absolutely unseen in modern society, constantly stimulating the violent urges within Luo Ji.
It gave him an inexplicable urge to rush down and join the fray, but this impulse was immediately suppressed by his rationality.
In this situation, even Black Jackal at his peak would face a 90% chance of death if he rushed down.
If it were Luo Ji, it would essentially be suicide.
He straightened his mindset, then positioned himself correctly, content to be a strategist chief who planned from afar.
This was his path of development!
Below, the battle between the saber-toothed tiger and the wolf pack seemed to be escalating into a heated climax.
This ancient overlord was truly not falsely renowned.
Even when injured, it managed to endure until now, and its saber-like fangs and tiger claws had successively killed several hungry wolves.
Its physical strength was far beyond what humans could compare to.
The wolf pack had already paid a considerable price.
The alpha wolf seemed to be hesitating, re-evaluating the pros and cons.
However, at this point, the alpha wolf also felt like it was riding a tiger and couldn’t dismount.
The price had already been paid, it couldn’t end up with so many pack members dying for nothing.
Its green eyes scanned the blood-soaked saber-toothed tiger, as if estimating how much strength the ancient overlord had left.
Finally, with a wolf howl, the attack continued!
Even a machine made of iron runs out of oil and electricity, let alone a body made of flesh and blood.
Facing the wolf pack’s relentless, attritional attacks, the saber-toothed tiger’s condition continuously deteriorated at a visible rate.
The number of large and small wounds on its body also increased.
Finally, with a dull thud, its massive body crashed to the ground, signaling the end of an ancient overlord’s life at this moment.
Immediately, wolf howls echoed one after another under the silver moon, perhaps celebrating their hunting victory, or mourning the death of their companions.
Regardless, this could only be called a tragic victory, and the ones who had the last laugh were destined not to be them from the very beginning.
Without any warning, a whistling stone bullet seemed to fall from the sky, striking a hungry wolf that was howling upwards with a “thud,” instantly smashing its head, causing blood to flow freely!
Before the wolf pack could even react, the four slingers Luo Ji had brought had already taken advantage of the high ground.
Their slings spun continuously, launching stone bullets one after another, conducting a slaughter on the remaining hungry wolves, as if cleaning up the aftermath!
This was a battle without any suspense.
Facing a wolf pack that had suffered heavy casualties and just achieved a tragic victory, how could Luo Ji and his group, who had been ambushing until now with hardly any decline in their condition, possibly lose?
The alpha wolf in the distance clearly realized that it had fallen into a human ambush.
In its wolf eyes, Luo Ji could even discern a hint of grief and indignation.
Luo Ji believed that if this alpha wolf could speak, it would surely curse them, calling them ‘despicable humans.’
But what of it?
What was so despicable or not despicable about it?
This was strategy!
This was a plan!
He had executed this ‘driving wolves to devour a tiger’ scheme beautifully.
Afterwards, with a few rounds of stone bullet bombardment from the four slingers, the alpha wolf, knowing it was no match, let out an unwilling howl and retreated miserably with the few remaining wolves.
Luo Ji didn’t let Luo Yong and the others give chase.
With only a few hungry wolves left, they couldn’t cause any major trouble and were not to be feared.
Compared to that, rushing into the dense forest in the middle of the night to pursue the fleeing wolf pack was more dangerous.
He signaled the others to clean up the wolf carcasses, while Luo Ji himself slowly walked to the front of the saber-toothed tiger’s scarred body.
A cold smile appeared on his lips.
“So I said it earlier, didn’t I?”
“What if it’s an ancient overlord?”
“Didn’t it still end up in my hands?”
