11: Chapter 11 The Wolf Tide!

When Song Yiqing and Zhang Qilin showed signs of retreating,

Yan Kuanru also revealed a look of slight surprise. Although he didn't understand why, he still quickly ordered,

"Fire!! Fire quickly!! Kill them!!"

The members of the Yan Family Gang on the scene were clearly a bit flustered by the previous attack,

and now they were even a few beats slower.

By the time they started firing, Song Yiqing and Zhang Qilin had already run far away.

"Dammit!! They actually got away!"

Yan Kuanru cursed resentfully, like a true predator whose prey had escaped due to a mistake,

completely forgetting that he and his group had almost been wiped out just moments ago.

At this time, Zhu Chenshan also showed a look of doubt,

"But Brother Kuan, this situation seems a bit strange.

Why? Why would they run? They clearly had the upper hand."

"It is indeed a bit strange,"

Yan Kuanru rubbed his chin, somewhat puzzled.

At this moment, a young man nearby spoke up,

"In all likelihood, they didn't have the strength to keep fighting, or perhaps they weren't sure what trump cards we still had.

So, retreating directly was their best choice."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked at each other, feeling that something wasn't quite right.

And right then, Zhu Chenshan felt a chill down his back.

When he subconsciously turned his head, he discovered a pair of green eyes hidden in the desert.

The moment Zhu Chenshan's gaze met the other party's,

"Awoooo——————"

A high-pitched wolf howl instantly resounded through the air!

From all directions, densely packed desert wild wolves instantly came rushing in.

The green eyes were like the Grim Reaper in the dark night, frantically harvesting lives with his scythe.

"Damn it! There really are wolves!"

Yan Kuanru shouted angrily, while also quickly trying to pull the trigger again,

but that bloody maw had already arrived first.

Rip!!

...

Song Yiqing's livestream chat,

[Wait? They were about to turn the tables, so why did they suddenly run?]

[What the hell? Why run? They could have won!!]

[Oh my god! I feel like I've encountered a 'pig teammate' while playing games.

It was clearly a winning game, but just because they were afraid of dying, they directly caused the loss!]

[Classic!! The person above is absolutely spot on, that's exactly it!]

[Something's wrong, listen carefully to the sound, there are wolf howls! Wolf howls! There really are wolf howls!]

[What? How is that possible? How could there be wolves in this desert? That's unscientific!]

[Nothing is unscientific about it. I finally understand why Song Yiqing wanted to evacuate immediately just now,

because he had already discovered the approaching wolf pack!

Blood is the best bait!

His battle with the Yan Family Gang was actually a move made to facilitate his escape.]

[The analysis above is very thorough; this might be the real reason why he suddenly wanted to retreat!]

[I noticed something is wrong! I've heard wolf howls in many people's exploration livestreams,]

[It's true! This situation is a bit subtle,]

...

Inside the Flying Tiger Archaeological Expedition Team,

In the women's tent, when Song Yiqing and Zhang Qilin successfully escaped, Bai Yao waved her small fists excitedly.

However, Yi Menglian, who was beside her, showed a puzzled and thoughtful expression.

"Something's not right. How can there be wolves here? And the scale of these sounds doesn't seem normal either."

"What do you mean?"

Bai Yao looked at her with a face full of confusion.

In the next second, Yi Menglian revealed a look of terror.

"If I'm not mistaken, this might be the extremely rare Wolf Tide!!!"

"What? Wolf Tide?"

Bai Yao was confused, but by then, Yi Menglian had already quickly walked out of the tent and found Fei Erfeng, saying rapidly,

"Elder Fei, something is wrong. A Wolf Tide might be occurring; we must evacuate as soon as possible."

"What did you say? A Wolf Tide?"

Fei Erfeng's brow furrowed. He then quickly walked over and looked at Song Yiqing's livestream, listening to the rising and falling wolf howls; they could even hear faint sounds from their location.

He immediately waved his hand to signal everyone present to start a meeting.

Meanwhile, Xue Xingye in the men's tent had also woken up.

He rubbed his eyes, curiously put on his gold-rimmed glasses, and asked,

"What's going on? How could there be wolves in the desert? Is the judgment wrong?"

The people present ignored him and instead discussed the possible directions for escape intensely.

Seeing this, Xue Xingye shrugged, not caring at all.

However, just as he was about to speak to Bai Yao,

the latter cleverly turned to ask Yi Menglian,

"Menglian, didn't you say it's basically impossible for there to be wolves in the desert? How did a Wolf Tide pop up? Why is that?"

"The so-called Wolf Tide is also an old record,"

Yi Menglian recalled,

"It's recorded in the logs of the Forbidden Land Exploration Official. Once, after a massive sandstorm, a Wolf Tide occurred,

and it caused thousands of deaths.

However, it only happened that one time. Later, with the popularization of livestreams, it never occurred again.

There were even gradual speculations that wolves don't exist in this desert,

and that the previous crisis might have been caused by some other kind of creature."

"So that's how it is,"

Bai Yao nodded slightly, her heart growing inexplicably nervous.

A Wolf Tide that once caused thousands of deaths... then, in Song Yiqing's current situation, would they still have a chance to escape?

She didn't think more about it,

after all, they themselves also had to face this crisis now.

...

As the talk of a Wolf Tide emerged, all the exploration livestreams began to show signs of unrest.

Although it was a legendary claim, everyone had it deeply etched in their minds.

Since it was a crisis that had happened once, there was no guarantee it wouldn't happen again.

And now, this claim was undoubtedly being confirmed.

The scene of a total flight for survival also lit up at this moment.

However, contrary to everyone else,

after sprinting for several miles, Song Yiqing suddenly stopped and signaled Zhang Qilin to hide behind an earthen mound.

"..."

Zhang Qilin didn't speak, just stared straight ahead.

Seeing his expression, Song Yiqing understood that the other was asking 'why stop?'

He immediately explained,

"We can't outrun them. The only way to survive is to go and kill the Wolf King.

Otherwise, once the rest of the Wolf Tide catches up, there's absolutely no possibility of survival!"

"..."

Zhang Qilin gave him a deep look and then nodded,

"Okay."
