12. Camp Thief Shadow
Entering the woods, Xia Yi walked in the direction where the sound came and soon saw three gray wolves.
They were confronting a figure, and that figure was Qiu Ruoyan.
Qiu Ruoyan held a branch in her hand, knocking on the trunk, making a sound, trying to scare away the wolf pack with sound.
The wolves were a little afraid and did not attack immediately, but did not retreat.
Xia Yi did not step forward, and there were only three wolves besieging Qiu Ruoyan, but there were four wolves in total, and there were still no trace of the wolf.
After searching around, Xia Yi had no trace of a wolf. This cunning beast was very well hidden.
Given the search, Xia Yi used the feature-lucky active skill, and he silently recited "Driving the Wolf Pack" in his heart.
Inspiration flashed through his mind.
Holding the dagger in his hand tightly, Xia Yi climbed up the tree and waited.
The confrontation between Qiu Ruoyan and the gray wolf has entered a tense stage. The gray wolf no longer retreats. They are ready to fight and just wait for the leader wolf to come out together.
The head wolf no longer hid. It appeared not far away, circled around Qiu Ruoyan and his three men, and observed the terrain first.
Wolves will deliberately drive away their prey and let them enter their trap.
After exploring the terrain, the head wolf stopped under a tree and screamed, asking the three head men to drive Qiu Ruoyan towards the direction of the stone cliff.
Before its scream could stop, Xia Yi on the tree jumped down and landed on its waist.
"Woo——" The howling of the head wolf turned into a scream.
Xia Yi stabbed the head wolf's back neck with another sword, completely ending the head wolf's life.
The three wolves not far away heard the screams of their heads and smelled the wolf blood. They gave up hunting without hesitation and ran towards the forest.
Qiu Ruoyan was still in shock and was a little confused.
She walked towards the cry of the wolf, and saw the wolf lying in a pool of blood and Xia Yi sitting aside.
Walking to Xia Yi, Qiu Ruoyan threw down the wooden stick in her hand and hugged Xia Yi.
Xia Yi was stunned and stroked Qiu Ruoyan's back. He felt the girl's body trembling.
Although he looked calm on the surface, Qiu Ruoyan, who was still a high school student, could not be afraid?
"Why didn't you call me?" Xia Yi asked. The road he was not far from the pond. If Qiu Ruoyan shouted, he would hear it on the way back.
"You said before, you can't get rid of the three wolf." Qiu Ruoyan put her chin on Xia Yi's shoulder, and her voice was a little hoarse.
"I am not afraid of death. I can't solve the three wolfs that have close cooperation, but the wolves will be afraid. As long as one is solved, the wolves will give up." Xia Yi explained, and he asked again, "Why leave the camp?"
When meeting a pack of wolves, confronting each other is the safest thing. Qiu Ruoyan cannot not know this.
"There are tents and clay pots in the camp." Qiu Ruoyan continued to answer.
She was afraid that the wolves would destroy the pots and tents.
Xia Yi lamented that this is a child who is self-disciplined and does not cause trouble.
"Can you hug it in another place? There is a stone under my butt, which hurts me." Xia Yi said.
Qiu Ruoyan's body stiffened and she let go of Xia Yi. She stood up and pretended to observe the leading wolf on the ground to relieve her embarrassment.
Xia Yi held the tree on one side and stood up from the ground, and his steps staggered.
"What's wrong?" Qiu Ruoyan asked nervously.
"I just twisted my feet, it's not serious." Xia Yi said with a frown.
He jumped from the tree to the back of the wolf. Although he had the wolf as a buffer, he accidentally sprained it.
"I'll carry you." Qiu Ruoyan said immediately.
"No need, nothing is wrong." Xia Yi rejected the girl's kindness. His foot injury was indeed not serious, probably the degree to which he could have stepped on the air on the stairs.
"Use this." Qiu Ruoyan gave Xia Yi the branches in her hand.
Xia Yi looked at the branches and found that it was a main branch, three fingers thick, less than one meter long, and very strong.
Although he couldn't use it, he still accepted Qiu Ruoyan's kindness.
Qiu Ruoyan grabbed the two hind legs of the wolf corpse and pulled them towards the camp.
A wolf weighed a lot, Qiu Ruoyan struggled, and Xia Yi wanted to help but she refused.
The two walked slowly and returned to the camp ten minutes later.
Putting down the wolf corpse, Qiu Ruoyan sat on the ground, panting.
Xia Yi sat next to the fire. The fire had been extinguished. He set fire again and put the pottery jar containing water on it.
"What's wrong." Qiu Ruoyan's voice suddenly rang.
Xia Yi looked at Qiu Ruoyan.
"Someone has come." Qiu Ruoyan pointed to the tent.
Xia Yi looked over there, and the tent bag was lying on the ground, empty, with a handful of berries scattered beside him.
Xia Yi looked at the place where he put the chicken again. The chicken was still there, but the direction of the chicken head changed.
When she walked into the tent, Xia Yi glanced at the clay pot containing berries in the tent was gone, and there was one missing sleeping bag.
After exiting the tent, Xia Yi checked out the losses: all the berries, a clay pot, and a sleeping bag.
"I'm sorry." Qiu Ruoyan apologized. If she hadn't gone to save her, Xia Yi wouldn't have left the camp and things wouldn't have been stolen.
"It's okay. Since the other party has touched our camp, he will succeed sooner or later." Xia Yi returned to the fire and continued to burn water, "and it's not an important thing."
For berries, there are more than half of the berries bushes, and one clay pot is enough, not to mention that there is one hidden in the woods. As for the sleeping bag, he and Qiu Ruoyan take turns to watch the night, and only one sleeps at a time, which is enough.
Xia Yi walked to the place where the footprints of the gray wolf appeared, picked up the branch that fell from the tree and caused him to see the footprints. The port of the branch was very new and was broken down by someone.
When Xia Yi came back, the man was already hiding in the tree. He used the branches to remind Xia Yi that there were wolves, and took the opportunity to steal things after Xia Yi left.
Xia Yi was thinking about which group of people that person would be.
First, Guo Anbao and the others can be ruled out. They should be guarding the bread in their camp and will not come to steal things if they have time.
The rest are the only ones who are ponytails and art students, and the boy.
Xia Yi made a reasoning. With the moral level of a ponytail man, he dared not take a tent with a large target, but the pheasant must be taken away, and it is impossible to move and stay there again.
Is that boy?
Standing up, Xia Yi looked in the tent again. When he came out, he saw a piece of blood near the door.
"Not mine." Qiu Ruoyan answered immediately.
After glanced at Qiu Ruoyan, Xia Yi pretended not to hear this.
This should be the boy's blood. A few days ago, he attacked Guo Anbao with a gun, but Guo Anbao snatched the gun away and even made a hole in his arm.
"Let's go, no matter what, you can't stay in this place anymore." Xia Yi said.
When the boy finishes eating the berries, he will definitely come back again. Xia Yi doesn't want his camp to become a resource for the boy.
