Chapter 63 Prairie Wolf

"Master, the Black Water Tribe is coming!" Er Zhuang immediately discovered that the Black Water Cavalry was chasing them, and ran to Hua Kai to report.

"Hurry up and organize a defensive formation. Hua Xuan, Qimuge, Taji, Sai Han, you guys organize all the slaves in the center of the carriage team. No matter what happens, don't leave. Anyone who moves at this time will be killed directly."

Hua Kai commanded several slaves he had trained and ordered that at this time all family members, even adult slaves, must participate in the battle. What he was most worried about was that these slaves would be frightened by the momentum of the Black Water Tribe cavalry charge, causing all slaves to panic.

Wei Baotou, Hua Fu, and Er Zhuang skillfully organized everyone to form a circle around the carriage. All people and horses were squeezed in the circle. Everyone began to allocate defensive positions. To deal with the large group of cavalry charge, the Hua family could only line up to defend and consume.

The Black Water Cavalry arrived and saw that the Hua family caravan had formed a defensive formation. They knew that it was impossible to take it down in one go, so they began to ride horses around the caravan, so that if the Hua family caravan was in chaos, they would have a chance to break through the defense of the chariot formation.

What made Hua Kai happy was that although these slaves had not been with the Hua family for a long time, they also experienced the benefits of the Hua family.

The slaves saw the battle just now. A master of the Hua family could defeat a hundred Black Water Cavalry. All the slaves obeyed the command of the Hua family and gathered quietly in the middle of the chariot formation, waiting for the Hua family to solve the crisis at hand.

Hua Kai watched the Black Water Cavalry circle around the caravan for several times and dared not move forward. The two sides gradually fell into a stalemate. As time went by, the weather became hotter and hotter. Yu Jun rested for more than an hour and now his complexion has improved.

"Master, let me go out and meet them! If we wait any longer, it will be difficult for us to leave when the Black Water tribe reinforcements come. As long as I kill their cavalry leader, they will be afraid of us." Yu Jun came to Hua Kai and said.

"Too dangerous. You've already fought a battle this morning. It's hard to break through their siege now. Let's wait a little longer! As long as we don't leave the chariot formation, it won't be easy for them to break in. The Hua family's [Sky-Splitting Spear] is not so easy to deal with." Hua Kai said.

All the members of the Hua family are armed with weapons, which are many times stronger than the bone knives and bone sticks of the Black Water Tribe. As long as the other party dares to attack, the Hua family caravan will make them pay a heavy price.

Moreover, although Yu Jun is an 8th-level master of the Qi training realm, he uses a sword and is not good at fighting on horseback. If it were grandpa or the fifth uncle, their power would be much greater than Yu Jun's. Hua Kai regretted letting grandpa and the fifth uncle go to the new city of Zhao State together.

"Master, I think it's best to let Mr. Yu go out to challenge us. Only when they realize that they can't annihilate us here, will they give up the siege on us." Wei Baotou said at this time.

Hua Kai knew what Wei Baotou meant, and he was also entangled. The main fighting force of the Hua family, including Hua Kai and Han Jinsheng, is only 51 people. Although the loyalty of many young and strong slaves purchased from the Ordos tribe has reached more than 50 points, they may not be reliable when encountering such a consumption battle.

"Master, let me go! I believe that the other party can't stop me even if they are not in the Qi training realm." Hua Fu said at this time.

"If you go out in the Qi training realm, you will die. Let's wait and see! Yu Jun, you should recover your true qi. If the other party has a tendency to gather and attack, you should go out and wander outside. In this way, if a fight really breaks out, you can play a greater role." Yu Jun used a sword, and his fighting power on horseback was much worse than that of a spear, a broadsword, a halberd, etc. Therefore, he could play his greatest role outside the carriage formation.

The Hua family caravan just waited like this, and the Black Water Tribe had not made any moves. What Hua Kai didn't know was that several cavalry centurions of the Black Water Tribe were also very entangled at this time.

"Fight or not? How long will we keep wasting like this?" A centurion shouted dissatisfiedly.

"Look at the other side's defense formation. It's not that easy to take them down. Our tribe has already lost 102 elite members because of them. If we can't completely wipe them out in the end, what if they bring people back for revenge? I told you not to quarrel with the caravan for that little bit of goods, but you didn't listen. It's too late to regret now..." A centurion was interrupted by someone beside him before he finished speaking.

"You got a lot of the goods you cheated from them. Now you're saying this... It all depends on the tribe leader's decision! It would be too much for us to take down the other side with our 500 men."

Several centurion captains were discussing there, and none of them wanted to take the lead in attacking, because if they had to break through the chariot formation, the first to attack would definitely suffer the most casualties. If the losses here were big today, even if they won the battle in the end, what good would it do them?

The grassland is all about the law of the jungle. If their family is seriously damaged, it will definitely be annexed by other families in the tribe.

The Black Water Tribe cavalry hesitated, and the Hua family caravan could only wait in the chariot formation. Suddenly, Hua Kai saw a figure flashing in the distance. It was a prairie wolf.

"Master, it's the prairie wolf! We're being targeted by the wolf pack." Wei pointed his head at a wolf shadow in the distance and said.

Some people say that wolves are the masters of the prairie. Many prairie tribes agree with this. Some large tribes even call themselves the sons of the wolf god and use the wolf as the totem of their tribe.

The most powerful opponent of the prairie people in their lives is the wolf pack on the prairie. At least 7 out of 10 prairie people were killed by the wolf pack in the end, which shows the status of wolves on the prairie.

Hua Kai also heard from the Jia family that there are countless prairie wolf tribes, among which the most terrifying are the gray wolf, the red wolf, and the prairie wolf.

Prairie wolves are most easily seen on the prairie. They are either a family of a few or a family of hundreds. Each wolf pack has its own wolf king. Each wolf pack of prairie wolves is also related, just like a human tribe. When they encounter a powerful opponent, they will cooperate to fight the enemy.

Hua Kai saw that the prairie wolf in the distance was only about 80 cm. It looked at the Hua family caravan and the Black Water Cavalry from a distance. After humans discovered it, it did not show any tension, just like a spectator.

"Master, the Black Water Tribe seems to be assembling to leave. The prairie wolf has been staring at the caravan and won't leave. I'm afraid it's waiting for the arrival of the wolf pack. We must leave quickly." Wei Baotou said anxiously, as if the ordinary-looking prairie wolf was more terrifying than the entire Black Water Tribe.

The prairie people would not easily attack the wolf pack. If they wanted to kill a lone wolf that was eliminated by the wolf pack, if they easily killed a wolf with a tribe, they might be targeted by the entire wolf pack, and then their cattle, sheep and even horses would suffer.

And the wolf pack would not easily attack humans. This is a tacit understanding formed on the grassland for thousands of years. Today, this prairie wolf has been staring at the caravan and won't leave. Perhaps they are short of food and have to take the risk of attacking people.

Hua Kai saw that the Black Water Tribe was assembling the team to leave. They didn't know whether to laugh or cry. At this time, Hua Kai felt that Xiao Qiang had feedback to him.

Xiao Qiang stared at the prairie wolf in the distance on a carriage and growled "Woo woo". Although it is only 5 months old now, its size is not much smaller than that of the prairie wolf.

Mastiffs are at the top of the wolf pack. It is said that mastiffs were originally the wolf king and were domesticated. Humans used mastiffs to deal with wolves, which is why there are some restrictions on wolves on the grassland. As the king of the mastiff clan, the golden mastiff is the natural enemy of the wolf pack.

Hua Kai came to the carriage and stroked Xiao Qiang's head. He could feel that Xiao Qiang wanted to leave the carriage to deal with the prairie wolf very strongly.

But Xiao Qiang is only a level 2 monster now, which is equivalent to a mid-level wild beast. The head wolf in the wolf pack is at least a wild beast. Even if he can deal with the prairie wolf and lead out the wolf pack behind it, the caravan will really be unable to leave.

"Master, the Black Water Cavalry has left. What should we do now?" Hua Fu saw that the Black Water Tribe really left, and hurried to Hua Kai and asked.

"Pack up and leave too. I hope we are not targeted by the big wolf pack." Hua Kai can only comfort himself now.

The Hua family caravan started again and returned along the same route. The horses that had pulled the carriage just now were replaced. The carriage was running fast on the grassland. The Hua family horse team followed the carriage with more than 200 horses. Gradually, Hua Kai found that there were several grassland wolves around the caravan.

"Master, let the caravan continue to move! There is a small tribe 60 miles ahead. The wolf pack will not attack the tribe easily. I will keep an eye on these grassland wolves." Yu Jun rode to Hua Kai and said. He saw these grassland wolves following him like dog skin plasters, and knew that they must be waiting for more grassland wolves to arrive.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Hua Kai found that there were more and more wolves around the caravan. Now there are at least 20. There is no wild beast among these grassland wolves, which means that these are just the early reconnaissance troops of the wolf pack, and the main force has not arrived yet.

At this time, a prairie wolf followed the Hua family horse team and tried to sneak attack the horses behind the caravan. The horses were frightened and confused when they saw the prairie wolf coming to attack. The Hua family caravan ran over and drove away the prairie wolf that was looking for an opportunity to attack. The other party was not in a hurry when seeing this, and slowly followed the horse team.

"Master, why don't we try to charge and kill for a while? We can't escape if we continue like this. The prairie wolf's endurance is no worse than that of horses. Maybe they will leave when they are afraid of being killed." Hua Fu came to Hua Kai and said.

"Okay, anyway, it seems that this wolf pack will not let us go today. You and Yu Jun will take 30 people to kill them and try!" Hua Kai also had no experience in dealing with prairie wolves. He hoped that the prairie wolves would give up on their own after realizing the strength of the caravan.

Then Hua Kai asked the caravan to stop and began to build a defensive car formation. Yu Jun, Hua Fu and others rode out of the car formation to chase and kill the prairie wolf.

None of these wolves were as strong as wild beasts, but they were extremely cunning and knew how to cooperate and make choices. When they saw the caravan coming out, they fled in all directions. When Yu Jun and others stopped chasing them, they slowly surrounded them.

Yu Jun and Hua Fu divided everyone into multiple teams to surround and kill the wolves around them. The wolves could not escape from the pursuit of the horses, but they would pull hatred everywhere, making the caravan members very irritable.

Hua Kai kept staring at the wolves in the distance for half an hour. The wolves were naturally no match for the Qi training realm. The Hua family caravan had killed more than 20 prairie wolves, but these wolves had no intention of leaving. Instead, more wolves were coming from all directions.

When Yu Jun and others came back, Hua Kai felt their irritability. Although they had killed 27 prairie wolves just now, they also lost two horses. Those wolves were too good at finding opportunities. They kept surrounding the caravan and planned to exhaust the temper of the caravan members.

Hua Kai's expression was also extremely cautious. In just a moment, there were many more prairie wolves around the caravan, more than 40 of them. The Hua family caravan had just killed so many of their companions, but they didn't seem to be afraid at all. They just stood a hundred meters away from the caravan and stared at them quietly, and sometimes they even lay on the grass to rest.

"Strengthen the defense! We can't go any further today! Many of us are already tired, and we can't give the wolves a chance. These prairie wolves don't seem to be a tribe. I just hope they won't have too many wild beast-level prairie wolf leaders." Hua Kai was worried.

The Hua family caravan stopped again and organized defense. Hua Xing and Hua Zichen had been away for ten days. It was reasonable that they should be back in the next few days. As long as they came back, everything would be easy.

Near dusk, all the core members of the caravan sat together to discuss. No one had a good solution. The prairie wolves were sticking to them. Even if the caravan killed more than ten prairie wolves, their number was still increasing.

"Perhaps they are waiting for the wolf king to appear, and will launch a general attack when the wolf king appears. We must let all slaves take up arms. If our chariot formation is broken by the wolf pack, we will not be able to protect them." Yu Jun said.

Most of the slaves in the caravan are women and children. If the wolf pack breaks through the caravan's defensive chariot formation, then everyone can only kill as many enemies as possible and enter the final fight.

"As long as the other wolf king dares to show up, we are fully capable of killing the wolf king, and perhaps the crisis can be resolved." Hua Fu said.

"It's not that easy. The wolf king will definitely not appear without certainty. It will unite with other wolf packs and wait until we are exhausted before taking action. We have killed more than 40 prairie wolves. They may put the decisive battle at night, which will be very disadvantageous to us." Wei Baotou knows more about prairie wolves than others, and his words made everyone frown.

At this time, the wolves outside the caravan's defensive formation seemed to be wandering aimlessly, but they were actually approaching the caravan little by little to test the caravan's reaction. Many people in the Hua family caravan were now a little tired. If they went out to fight again, they would definitely not have much energy for the decisive battle at night, so everyone could only wait when they saw this. As long as the opponent was not too close, no one would pay attention to them.

"Hu... Um..."

At this time, Hua Kai felt that Xiaoqiang, who was left in the car, was very agitated. It kept growling when it saw the wolves approaching. Hua Kai was about to go forward to comfort it, but Xiaoqiang jumped down from the car and rushed towards a Cangyuan wolf not far away.

Xiaoqiang actually bit off the reins himself!
