The night became colder and darker, many students went inside the tents to sleep. Hao Ren and a few males decided to take a watch in turns. After the first watch, a young man called Aron, was moving around the tents, and after a few round, he and his partner were tired and they sat down by the campfire, gradually they fell asleep.
Hao Ren was sitting inside his tent, when suddenly he frowned and opened his eyes and clicked his tongue. He came out and found that the skies were filled with dark clouds, like it would rain anytime now, his limit was also close. He walked up to the tent where Salem was sleeping and said, "Teacher, come out, there are wolves."
His voice was normal but everyone woke up because they hadn't really been sleeping in peace. They did not show too much but they had never been outside in the woods. How can they be calm and relaxed. Salem was a soldier in the past, he came out quickly and asked hurriedly, "What is going on?"
Hao Ren made a gesture for him to survey the surroundings and Salem saw a few flickering lights in the distance. He frowned and looked at all the anxious students and said, "Don't worry, they will not enter here, we have erected torches."
The students huddled closer, and Hao Ren sensed with his divine sense, when he found that no one was paying attention to him, he waved his hand and created a wind with his spiritual energy that took out a few torches from the side and also the clouds began to thunder.
The girls held each other and they wailed. Following this, a howl echoed in the surroundings, "Awooooooo"
The wolves were growling as they moved closer to the camp. Salem picked up his machete, and said, "I will handle these wolves. Do not worry."
However, the students all began to clamor loudly. Hao Ren moved behind Salem and said, "Teacher, you stay here, I will take these mutts away."
He was very strong in his expression but Hao Ren said, "I have the experience of this. Do not worry."
Their conversation was something that none of the people could hear, the teachers were too busy trying to calm down the people, while the students were panicking. Hao Ren sighed and snapped his finger, Salem suddenly lost his balance and fell down. The young man caused him to fall, by sealing his spirit points. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on noⅴelfire.net
Then Hao Ren picked up the machete and dashed out of the circle. He carefully looked and located the Alpha, but before he could attack the alpha, another wolf charged at him from the side, and Hao Ren slapped the animal with his bare hand. The attack knocked the wolf out, and it fell down like a puppet cut off from the wires.
The wolves howled and Hao Ren dashed away. He was quick in his steps but he made sure that he lured the wolves away quickly, almost effortlessly leading the wolf pack. Wolves were social animals and they lived in groups. If you harm one wolf they will all come to hunt you. Hao Ren wanted to harm the alpha, but the other wolf played an even bigger role.
After he was in the safe distance from the camp, he turned around and clapped his hands hard. The shockwaves caused the wolves to be dizzy, and Hao Ren said, "Go away and do not bother the humans, it is not good for you."
His soothsaying skills have improved and even beasts would fall under a charm. So, the wolves left quickly while Hao Ren looked at the clouds, and said, "Come on."
The students calmed down under the persistent coaxing. Han Lingshi looked around in a fervor and turned to look at Yan as she said, "Go, light up the torches again."
Yan nodded and left with a couple of guys. Xia Yulei said, "Lingshi grab the first aid kit from the side, and everyone gather around, let me do a roll call."
Suddenly, the lightning flashed in the distance followed by a loud clap. The students shivered, and some of them wanted to scream when Ye Yue yelled, "Are you all toddlers? Get your shit together for me or I will literally throw you lot outside the circle. Whimsical entitled brats."
Her bark made them obedient and they all sat down around the fire. Yan returned back to the circle in a hurry and said, "Clear some space, Teacher Salem is injured."
Everyone was scared when they saw the others lifting and carrying Salem over. Yan was not particularly well built and this veteran was a muscle mountain so his friends had to team up and drag him back. They lay him on the ground, and Xia Yulei quickly checked his pulse, before she heaved a sigh of relief.
She said, "He is fine, let us do the roll call."
However, before she could do it, the lightning in the distance fell again and this time it fell eight times in succession one after the other. The people took a deep breath and then the clouds calmed down. Everyone watched dark clouds recede and stars appear in the sky. Ye Yue mumbled, "I wonder if a dragon has ascended to the heavens."
The students rolled eyes at her, but she just shrugged her shoulders. Xia Yulei was doing a roll call to make sure that everyone was there, but when she called for Hao Ren, she was greeted with silence.
Everyone was stunned, and then Xia Yulei loudly called again, "Hao Ren!"
Nobody replied, Han Lingshi clenched her fist and began to look at the crowd, before she heard someone say, "Could he have ran away from fear?"
The person was one of the guys who had been silenced by Hao Ren in the noon. Xia Yulei said, "Everyone, scatter and see if Hao Ren is inside the tents."
The students had just turned away when Yan exclaimed, "He is there."
The people followed his finger and found Hao Ren walking over from under the torches, while a wolves watching him with their heads bowed.
Ye Yue mumbled, "The wolf king roams the wilderness under the moonlight."
