My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 1182 - 1188: Encountering a Wolf Pack

The prison guard could never have imagined that just upon reaching the foot of the mountain, a long sword radiating cold light would pierce his chest.

"Why do this to me?" the prison guard stared fixedly at the assailant.

He recognized the man; he was Loyal Retainer Ah San, raised by Prince Liang.

Ah San sneered coldly: "If your family fell into others’ hands, you would also turn against the Prince."

For the sake of preventing such accidents, he had to die.

"The Prince promised that after I finished this task, I would be reunited with my family."

"Close your eyes, and you’ll see your family."

Prince Liang didn’t go back on his word, he merely reunited them in another world.

The prison guard’s eyes poisoned with rage: "Tell Prince Liang that I will become a Vengeful Ghost and will not let him go even in death, may he sire sons who never ascend the throne for the rest of his life!"

Ah San wore a look of disdain; he couldn’t be bothered to waste words with such people.

If he truly had such capabilities, he wouldn’t have died so easily.

Tan Zhenghong and his group walked for roughly half an hour; the path had completely vanished, indicating that almost no one had gone this way before.

And where there were no people, it was a paradise for wild beasts.

Tan Zhenghong led the way at the front, clearing the path with a machete and reminding everyone, "Stay alert and ready your Sleeve Arrows."

Suddenly, a sound made everyone’s hair stand on end.

"Sir, that’s the howling of wolves," said the trembling speaker.

The others also held their breath, watching as pairs of eyes glowing green in the dark gradually drew closer from all around.

It felt... like waiting for the sentence of death.

They wanted to turn and run, but reason told them that doing so would mark them as the first to die.

"Everyone, stay calm. Gather slowly together, everyone back to back, forming a circle to prevent the wolves from attacking from behind," Tan Zhenghong commanded steadily.

Qiao Duo’er had shared many of her experiences with him, including encounters with wolves.

She had said that wolves were very clever animals; if they felt their opponents were strong, they would withdraw, so the best strategy was to overpower them with imposing vigor.

Tan Zhenghong quickly counted; there were indeed more than twenty wolves.

Among them, there was one particularly robust; it must be the Wolf King.

He glared fiercely at the Wolf King, trying his best not to show a trace of fear.

But the wolf pack only hesitated for a moment before they continued to close in.

Tan Zhenghong raised his sleeve, prepared for battle; he knew all too well that intimidating a wolf pack with a gaze was utterly unreliable.

What he didn’t know was that each of his companions wore a look of fear, and scaring off the wolves would have been truly astonishing.

"Awooo~"

The Wolf King lifted its head and howled, signaling the pack to attack.

"Fire!" Tan Zhenghong said in a deep voice.

After a round of shooting, a few wolves were injured, and the pack dared not proceed rashly.

They retreated slightly, allowing only quick-moving wolves to advance and intimidate before swiftly retreating to safety.

"Ah Hong, I’m afraid we won’t have enough arrows," Qin Longyun said worriedly.

Tan Zhenghong looked at his own Arrow Quiver; only half of the arrows remained. It seemed he had underestimated the Wolf King’s intelligence.

"We need to take the initiative to attack, follow me, and wait for my command to shoot," Tan Zhenghong decided.

Otherwise, once they ran out of arrows, they would have no choice but death.

Tan Zhenghong led his people to slowly advance towards the wolf pack. The Wolf King howled again, believing its prey had run out of weapons.

The pack came within shooting range once more, and Tan Zhenghong aimed his arrow at the Wolf King.

If he could kill it first, the wolf pack would crumble into disarray.
