Chapter 69: Kill Them!

Lin Chang and Lin Zhou stared at the big screen, their lips tightly pressed together, not daring to be distracted for a moment.

They didn’t inform Old Master because he hadn’t slept well last night and had just managed to get some rest today. If they woke him up and he saw this thrilling scene, their inheritance might be in danger.

“Come on!”

Everyone in the room was silently praying for the people who were running.

The intense sprint caused Bi Fang’s brain to be deprived of oxygen, which reminded him of an article he had read in his previous life. The article was about an athlete who didn’t have outstanding results most of the time but managed to win a world championship due to an unusual event. One day, when the athlete rushed to his training session in the morning, he was chased by a wolf. As a result, he ran at a pace that was theoretically impossible, breaking through his limits and unleashing his full potential.

Bi Fang had originally thought the story was just an exaggeration, but now he knew it was true!

What was the so-called realism? This was realism!

Bi Fang had never felt his body so heavy before, as if his legs were filled with lead, making it difficult to lift them higher and faster. At this moment, he wished he had four legs instead of two.

Hurry up!

Faster!

Even faster!

A vein in Bi Fang’s forehead was throbbing like a snake, and it seemed like an artery in his brain was also pulsating violently.

He roared as he sprinted, with the howls of the wolves behind him becoming more and more intense. The sound only grew louder, not because the howls were more ferocious, but because the wolves were closing in on Bi Fang and his companions at an alarming speed!

Wolves were known for their incredible speed and endurance, reaching up to 55 kilometers per hour. Humans had no chance of outrunning them unless it was an ultra-long distance race. However, Bi Fang didn’t need to outrun them; he just needed to reach the woods!

“Don’t look back!”

Bi Fang noticed Hu Hao looking back and shouted at him. At the same time, he caught a glimpse of wolves attacking from both sides.

The audience could clearly see through the wide-angle lens of the drone that the pack of wolves was forming a crescent moon shape, attempting to encircle and capture Bi Fang and the others in one swoop.

The distance was closing, both the pack of wolves and the forest were getting closer.

As they were about to enter the bushes just a few meters away, Bi Fang slipped, and together with Lin Xue and Wu Mingtao, they fell.

It turned out that there was a steep slope hidden behind the bushes!

One by one, Hu Hao and Zheng Tianfang were also brought down by the momentum of Bi Fang, and screams filled the air.

The five of them rolled down the slope like bowling balls, their bodies covered in snow.

Zheng Tianfang, who was at the bottom of the pile, felt an extreme pain all over his body. However, Bi Fang, who had a layer of snow to cushion him, didn’t feel as bad, but he could still hear the wolves howling on the slope. He didn’t even have time to care about the pain in his back and quickly pushed the others aside.

“Quick, quick, quick! Light the fire! Light the fire! Light the fire!”

Bi Fang shouted while opening his backpack and searching for a fire starter.

The others also quickly got up, putting the gasoline-soaked torches in front of Bi Fang while collecting more branches from the surrounding area.

The temperature was freezing, and Bi Fang’s hands felt like blocks of ice. In his haste, he didn’t pinch the grip of the fire starter but instead held the magnesium rod directly and started to rub it.

“Light the damn fire already!”

Feeling the presence of the approaching wolf pack, Bi Fang’s eyes turned red. The high heat and sparks splattered, burning the skin on his fingers before finally igniting the gasoline and starting a big fire.

Seeing the flames, everyone finally felt a little bit of safety and began to hurriedly pile up more small branches onto the fire.

The wolf pack continued to howl, but their voices gradually faded. As Hu Hao raised his head and looked around, he saw that the wolves didn’t charge down, and he felt somewhat relieved.

“The fire is working,”

Bi Fang also raised his head to observe their surroundings but didn’t relax. Instead, he furrowed his brows, thinking about the habits of wolves. The situation wasn’t as optimistic as Hu Hao thought.

The wolves had initiated their charge and wouldn’t be easily frightened off by such a small fire.

The howling continued to diminish until it disappeared completely, as if the wolf pack had retreated.

“Did the fire work?” Zheng Tianfang asked Bi Fang, who had a serious expression on his face.

Seeing the effectiveness of the fire, Hu Hao immediately suggested – he felt uneasy without fire: “Let’s start a circle of fire. This way, the wolves won’t dare to approach, and we’ll also be able to detect their movements in advance…”

But before Hu Hao could finish speaking, a sharp howl cut him off.

This howl was completely different from the previous ones; it was full of… agony?

Everyone suddenly fell silent, listening to the growls and screams coming from the wolf pack. The noises stopped for a moment but then resumed.

Finally, silence returned.

But the live broadcast room was in an uproar. No one had ever seen such an unusual scenario and wanted to know what had happened.

What happened?

Why the sudden screams of pain?

Does Fang know? It feels so creepy!

Wolf pack infighting?

Two wolf packs?

“What’s going on?” Hu Hao’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.

“They’re attacking the alpha wolf!” Bi Fang said with certainty. The wolf pack had started an internal riot, which was why they had temporarily halted their attack on them. It wasn’t due to the fire as he had said earlier.

Such a small fire was far from enough to scare off the wolves.

“No matter why the wolf pack is attacking the alpha wolf, it seems that the Alpha Wolf should be dealt with by now.”

Bi Fang stared into the pitch-black darkness, where everything seemed completely still, like a deep, bottomless pool of dead water. It was impossible to tell that there was a whole pack of wolves hidden there, over twenty of them.

“In a wolf pack, there are three main ranks: Alpha, Beta, and Omega. The pups are not included. Just now, it’s likely that a Beta wolf challenged the Alpha and failed.”

“Wait, why are you so sure about that?” Wu Mingtao didn’t understand why Bi Fang knew the victorious one was the Alpha.

Yeah, why?

Many readers also don’t understand why the victorious one must be the Alpha. Do they underestimate the Beta wolves?

“At this point, wolves would attack the Alpha because it has grown old and can no longer control the pack. But an old wolf has an advantage: it is more cunning, smarter, and more patient than the younger wolves.”

“If a young wolf had just won, they would have already attacked us, leading the pack to food and proving its position, rather than hiding again. This means that the old wolf has decided that now is not a good time to attack.”

Hearing this explanation, everyone shuddered. If the victor had been a Beta wolf…

Wow, isn’t this pressure too much?

It’s like taking a walk on the brink of death!

Too scary, right?

These wolves are too smart, isn’t it? It feels like they are just like humans!

Don’t you think Bi Fang is even more impressive? He can guess what the wolf pack is doing and holds them firmly in check.

Agreed. As a graduate student in biology, I didn’t realize this point until I heard the broadcaster’s explanation. I only analyzed the rebellion within the wolf pack but never thought that we could analyze that the Alpha was the winner. This level of expertise, I feel, is even better than our professional professors.

That’s right. I wish Bi Fang could come to our school to give a public lecture. With his level of skill, he’s definitely stronger than those who only teach theory on paper!

You’re from the same dormitory?

Yes, since I found Bi Fang’s live broadcast, all four of us in the dormitory have become big fans.

“What should we do next?” Hu Hao asked.

“Kill them!”

Under the blazing fire, Bi Fang showed a fierce determination in his eyes.

Now, with the internal conflict in the wolf pack, it’s undoubtedly the best opportunity!
