THE FIERCE FARM GIRL HAS A SECRET SPACE

Chapter 1621: Chapter 1621: Change Tactics (4) Peng Jing's face turned pale with fright, but she didn't dare make a sound. She could only stick closely behind Gu Qingheng, as he had the best skills among them. The smoke from the torches continued to linger, but the wolves were clever. Upon noticing that one of their own had fallen, they quickly avoided the direction the smoke drifted toward. The medicinal power of the torches couldn't last forever. After a quarter of an hour, they became merely a source of illumination. The wolves were numerous.

For every one that fell, another immediately charged forward. Human stamina, however, was limited. Although the water provided by Xiaohei had alleviated their fatigue somewhat, the group had already been exhausted after several days of struggle, and everyone began to feel their stamina waning. Shadow Five and Nangong Xun suffered even more. Nangong Xun was caught off guard and bitten on the arm by a wolf, a chunk of flesh cruelly torn away. The scent of blood further stimulated the wolves' feral instincts. At this moment, everyone began to miss Xiaobai.

If he were here, wouldn't these wolves have bowed before him in submission? Just then, Heihei and her fledgling, who had been circling in the sky, suddenly let out a piercing cry before diving downward. A scream followed, and the wolf that had bitten Nangong Xun was suddenly seized by Heihei, who gripped its back and lifted it into the air. As it twisted to bite back, she abruptly released her talons... The wolf was slammed to the ground, killed instantly. Xiaohei, eager to emulate its mother, attempted to drop another wolf to its death.

However, the wolf it targeted proved cunning, noticing the shadow overhead and promptly leaping aside to evade its talons. Xiaohei was immediately displeased. He flapped his wings, ascended again, and darted downward at a speed resembling lightning. Swift as a blink, something seemed to streak through the air. The wolf that had just escaped Xiaohei's grasp barely had time to relish its success before suddenly feeling weightless. It watched its companions shrink beneath it, accompanied by the whooshing wind in its ears as it was hurled away.

As the wolf crashed into the nearby rocks, in its final moments, one could imagine it thinking: In the next life, don't be a wolf. Be one with wings; it's so much more majestic... Regardless of what the wolf might have thought, Heihei and Xiaohei's intervention significantly alleviated the pressure on Gu Qingheng and the others. The wolf pack descended into chaos. This was Peng Jing's first time witnessing the two eagles lift wolves one by one and drop them to their deaths. She couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. Earlier, the fledgling had merely scratched her.

If it had decided to lift her instead... Forget it, she decided she ought to treat these beasts more kindly from now on. After their initial confusion, the wolf pack quickly reorganized itself, adopting a new strategy. Some wolves focused on monitoring the humans closely while the rest engaged in combat with Heihei and Xiaohei. Wolves were exceptionally agile in their jumps. They began leaping into the air, attempting to strike back at the eagles. To their credit, the wolves' efforts temporarily left Heihei and Xiaohei with no clear openings to attack. The situation came to a stalemate.

The wolves eying the humans also shifted their tactics. Rather than attacking, they prowled around the perimeter, constantly taunting the group. "These wolves must have grown wise," Gu Qiao exhaled deeply. "They're trying to drain our stamina." Gu Qingheng's expression darkened. He realized that if this dragged on, the humans would be the ones to suffer. The pack had to be dealt with quickly. With a metallic clang, he unsheathed the Blood-drinking Sword and leaped towards the nearest wolf.
