It is said that the desert wolves in the Er Desert know some simple tactics and know how to avoid human bows and arrows.

In fact, it is not practical to use crossbows to deal with large-scale wolves, because the distance is long and the weapons carried by some porters are extremely limited. Moreover, they are all small crossbows and their range is not far.

In addition, although some porters and bosses are equipped with crossbows, they have not received professional military training. It is difficult to shoot the desert wolf at a slight distance, and the hit rate is extremely low...

…

Zhou Sen believed that if a caravan of 300 people worked together to deal with more than 200 wolves, they would have an almost absolute chance of winning.

However, Zhou Sen ignored the human heart.

There is no doubt that this is a ragtag group. If this ragtag group deals with horse thieves and bandits, they may work together. However, facing the ferocious wolves, the merchants have no intention of fighting the wolves.

When Zhou Sen, the owner of the cavalry team, returned to the camp, all the porters gathered around him.

"How is it?" a porter asked anxiously.

"It has been discussed. Tomorrow morning, the caravan will be divided into five groups and move in five directions. We...we..." The fat boss looked gloomy.

"How are we doing?" the porters asked in unison.

"We are alone."

"Ah..." There was a commotion among the dozen porters, with panic expressions on their faces.

"I'm sorry to everyone." The boss lowered his head and did not dare to look into the eyes of the porters.

"What's going on? Why are we separated? Isn't it safer to be together?" Zhou Sen looked confused and asked a series of questions.

"Xiao Zhou, it's like this..."

Everyone told Zhou Sen the reason.

It turns out that in the Er Desert, there is an unwritten rule that if a large group of desert wolves is encountered, the caravan will disperse into several groups.

The reason for this practice is very simple, it is to gamble on luck and see who will be targeted by the wolves.

Of course, the so-called gambling on luck is actually not that simple, because when acting separately, some wealthy and powerful businessmen often go together, while some businessmen who are weak and weak are often excluded.

Desert wolves are very smart, and they usually follow less powerful caravans.

If the desert wolf is a selfish animal that preys on the weak, then humans are essentially the same. In order to preserve their strength, it is commonplace to abandon their own kind.

Zhou Sen's caravan became human bait.

Zhou Sen's caravan has a total of eleven people.

Eleven people, three crossbows, six scimitars, and a dagger in each hand.

It is undoubtedly a daydream for such a small caravan and its simple weapons to deal with more than 200 wolves.

The average number of the other four caravans reached eighty people. Even if they were followed by wolves, they would still be able to fight with their sophisticated weapons.

Of the five caravans, four will remain unscathed.

It was a torturous night. A group of porters tossed and turned and had no intention of sleeping.

The moonlight shines brightly on the desert. Under the towering sand dunes in the distance, there are huge shadows, as if countless ancient beasts are lurking in the desert, which is inexplicable.

The dead branches and feces were gradually burned out, the campfire was getting darker and darker, and the wolves began to take action.

In order not to let humans rest, the wolves began to circle around the fire, and from time to time went deep into the fire. Humans had to be on guard against attacks at all times. Occasionally, the screams of desert wolves after being shot floated in the night sky.

Creepy.

Just when a group of porters were in panic, suddenly, the handsome young man walked up to the fat boss, whispered a few words and left.

After the handsome young man left, the boss beamed with joy and told everyone that the handsome man would go with them.

This news seemed to give everyone a shot in the arm, and everyone was immediately elated.

The more people there are, the more hope of survival there will be. Moreover, the group of heroic Yintan women all carry longbows, and it is obvious at a glance that they are good at riding and shooting.

Only Zhou Sen was unhappy.

Whenever he saw the handsome young man looking at him, he would feel goosebumps all over his body.

If he left alone with a group of porters, he could kill the wolves alone without exposing his identity easily. But now, the situation seems to have changed.

The weapons carried by the handsome young men were all extremely sophisticated, and the horses they rode were all fine horses worth thousands of gold. Moreover, judging from their clothes and demeanor, they were wealthy and noble people. It was easy to travel with them. His identity will be exposed and Zhou Sen's follow-up actions will be affected.

what to do?

After thinking about it, Zhou Sen couldn't think of a way to deal with it, so he could only take it one step at a time.

Finally, it was dawn.

That night, six wolves were shot.

In fact, none of the six wolves were shot to death, but only injured. However, the wolves were so hungry that after smelling the blood, they swarmed up and cut the injured wolves into pieces.

Hungry wolves are the most terrifying wolves, because as long as they set their sights on prey, they will fight to the death...

…

After a simple breakfast, the caravan began to split up.

The handsome young man really kept his word and followed Zhou Sen's caravan.

There were sixteen handsome young people, including two men and fourteen beautiful girls.

Now, the total number of people in this cavalry team has reached twenty-seven.

Twenty-seven people.

Obviously, it is a bit mysterious to rely on twenty-seven people to fight against more than two hundred vicious desert wolves.

The fat boss hoped that the other caravans would lure the wolves away, so he stayed at the very back.

"Sir, the weather is hot, why don't you ride a horse?"

The handsome young man nodded to a girl. Immediately, the girl jumped off the horse neatly, led the horse to Zhou Sen, and looked at Zhou Sen with a smile on her face.

Seeing everyone looking at him with strange smiles on their faces, Zhou Sen could only lower his head and remain silent.

At this time, the other four cavalry teams left the camp one after another. When people left, they all had expressions of pity or gloating on their faces. In their view, this cavalry team of more than 20 people had no chance of living.

In fact, the other four cavalry teams also saw that a group of women should be good at riding and shooting. However, they did not think that a dozen women could fight against more than two hundred hungry wolves, because the total number of their arrows was only about a hundred. , that is to say, even if they hit the target with perfect accuracy, in the end, they will end up in close combat due to exhaustion of arrow feathers.

The most terrifying part of the battle with wolves is hand-to-hand combat, because compared to humans, wolves are more ferocious and fearless of death. Moreover, they are much faster, and their endurance and flexibility far exceed those of humans.

Faced with the sympathetic and gloating eyes that gradually moved away, the mood of a group of porters who had originally been joined by more than a dozen women became depressed again.

"Let's go." The handsome young man walked up to the silent Zhou Sen and whispered softly, with the utmost gentleness.

"Let's go." Zhou Sen responded angrily, rejected the woman's good horse, and walked forward first, trying to keep as far away from the handsome man as possible.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you. By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My surname is Zhang and my name is Tianyi." The handsome young man looked at Zhou Sen's loyal look with a look of love on his face, wishing he could bring Zhou Sen to his side.

Sen hugged her.

"Humph!" A cold snort sounded, filled with boundless murderous intent.

"Bold!" Hearing the cold snort, Zhang Tianyi suddenly turned his face and shouted angrily at the snoring young man behind him, his handsome features showing a cold and fierce look.

"This slave deserves to die, this slave is guilty." The young man was so frightened that he rolled off his horse and fell to the ground. He turned over and knelt on the ground, kowtowing desperately.

"Forget it, don't forget your identity, get up." Zhang Tianyi glanced at the young man coldly, and then set his eyes on Zhou Sen's strong back. His cold expression suddenly turned tender.

Like water, eyes wandering.

"Yes Yes."

The young man climbed up slowly, respectfully, but there was a fleeting look of resentment on his face.

The camel caravan was ready and began to move forward in the lonely and vast desert.

At this time, Zhou Sen's camel team was not far away from the other four camel teams. The distance was about a few miles. This distance was specially left for the wolves. It was mainly for the wolves to observe and select targets. Once they were caught,

Being selected by the wolves is tantamount to being sentenced to death.

The camel caravan moves in the established direction. In fact, even if it deviates from the established direction, it has no meaning in escaping the tracking of the wolves, because the desert wolves are the real kings of the desert.

Along the way, no porters spoke, and the atmosphere was suffocating. However, the dozen or so women looked relaxed. They even got off their horses from time to time to play and play. Occasionally, they even took out snacks from the salutes on the camels' backs to share.

It didn't feel like I was on a long journey, but rather like I was on a spring outing. The atmosphere was extremely relaxed and lively.

The porters muffled on their way and the girls laughed like silver bells from time to time, which formed a sharp contrast.

Zhou Sen could only rush on his way in a dull manner. He really didn't have the courage to chat with that handsome young man. If he hadn't been afraid of exposing his identity, he would have escaped just like he did last time at Qingyue Sand Lake.

After walking for about an hour, no one saw any trace of the desert wolf, which greatly cheered up a group of porters.

However, the good times did not last long.

After walking for another half an hour, shadows of desert wolves began to appear wandering around.

The porters immediately sighed, and even the boss looked desperate.

Obviously, they have become the targets of the Desert Wolf.

Desert wolves are extremely smart. They know that this group of camels with the smallest number of people is their prey.

However, the desert wolves did not attack immediately because of the small number of the camel team. They still patiently followed the camel team within a hundred meters. This distance was enough to render the bows and crossbows useless.

Daytime is not a good time for wolves to launch attacks. Moreover, human beings are still strong in physical strength and their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.

Facing the hungry wolves that kept appearing around them, a group of girls still laughed and laughed. Occasionally, some girls would push each other and push one of them in front of Zhou Sen. When they saw Zhou Sen's shy look, they all laughed and Zhang

Seeing this, Tianyi also participated in the fun, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

Only, the young man just sat quietly on the horse, with a pair of gloomy eyes flashing fiercely.
