The woman, one of the rescue team members, Hana, felt like she could barely breathe.

Her body shivered, tears continuously streaming down her cheeks.

The fear of death made it extremely difficult for her to even resist.

And as the tears left her eyes, they didn't travel far before freezing into ice crystals on Hana's face.

Outside, the North American grey wolf that had spotted Hana's lips curled slightly.

It was as if a twisted serial killer had found prey in the closet, that slight curl of the lips.

Got you!

With a howl from the North American grey wolf, the surrounding pack surged forward like piranhas smelling blood.

But the wolf pack wasn't the only one to hear the wolf's howl.

Not far away, Chen Wen heard the howl of the North American grey wolf very close to him, and the hairs on his neck stood on end.

"Damn!"

"Shit!"

"There is a pack of North American grey wolves here!"

Chen Wen was terrified; he immediately raised his pistol and long spear, instinctively wanting to back away.

But the next second, Chen Wen suddenly realized.

"No, this is the sound wolves make when they find prey!"

Having lived and shared meals with wolves for so long, Chen Wen could understand many of the wolf pack's calls.

Finding food in such a place...

Damn, it can't be such a coincidence!

Chen Wen cursed inwardly, not caring about anything else.

He grabbed his long spear and hurried in the direction of the howling.

...

Near the igloo.

After the wolf howled, Hana summoned tremendous courage to conquer her fear.

She reached for her waist, searching for a moment.

Then she quickly pulled out a short dagger gleaming with a cold light.

Although Hana's face was filled with despair, she still gritted her teeth and slowly extended her stiffened body.

Outside, the wolf pack gathered.

With heavy breaths, a North American grey wolf extended its paw, clawing at the igloo.

The igloo, built from accumulated snow, offered almost no defense.

The grey wolf's paw easily tore through the side of the igloo like cutting tofu.

"Get away!"

Hana let out a sharp scream, trying to drive the grey wolf away with her voice.

But the effect was minimal.

As the sole rulers of this snowy plain, the North American grey wolves would not be intimidated by mere sound attacks.

The North American grey wolf let out a series of low growls, resembling a whimper, making one's hair stand on end.

And under the desire to live, Hana gradually gathered her courage.

She let out a beast-like roar, fiercely stabbing at the paw of the North American grey wolf that had reached in with her dagger.

This stab was extremely fast.

The North American grey wolf had no time to dodge and was pierced in the foreleg by the sharp blade.

Howl!

With an indescribable howl of pain or anger, the North American grey wolf quickly withdrew its leg.

The wolf pack, smelling the blood, immediately became restless and uneasy.

Facing this fragile igloo, they surprisingly seemed a bit nervous.

What exactly is this thing?

And why does it hurt the wolf?

Many North American grey wolves, having these thoughts, instinctively shifted back a little.

This gave Hana an excellent opportunity to escape.

She pulled at her companion, calling out his name, trying to wake him up.

But her companion lay motionless in the snow, his face ashen.

Hana tried to pull him up, but in the next moment, she released her grip in horror.

Stiff!

Completely unlike human stiffness!

Hana fell back half a step, knees buckling as she knelt in the snow.

But soon, amidst the uneasy howls of the wolf pack,

She quickly adjusted her mindset, leaning against the cliffside next to the igloo, propping herself up.

I can't just wait for death!

If the wolf pack realizes they can easily destroy the igloo, I'll have no chance to survive!

I must act before they figure this out!

Hana's expression changed as she looked up.

Of course, not to the igloo's roof, but to the cliff above the igloo.

Hana is proficient in climbing; she had climbed many rock faces barehanded and even participated in some extremely dangerous cliff rescue operations.

She was contemplating her escape route; there was no way out front, back, left, or right, only upwards!

Once she figured out the crucial point,

Hana bit down hard on the dagger, gathering her strength.

Outside, the pack of wolves gradually lost their patience.

A strong North American gray wolf approached the snow wall, seemingly seeing through the weakness of the humans inside the igloo.

Accompanied by a series of low growls.

This North American gray wolf suddenly stretched out its paw and fiercely slapped at the igloo.

Poof!

Rustle!

As a large hole was made in the wall by the gray wolf's slap, Hana gathered her strength, and leapt.

Her head directly pierced through the ceiling of the igloo, and both hands grabbed tightly onto a protruding rock above.

With Hana's movement, the already precarious igloo collapsed with a roar.

The collapse of the igloo instinctively made the wolves retreat, but soon, the strong gray wolf realized the prey was escaping!

It let out a ferocious cry and, agile and powerful, leaped from the ground, grasping at Hana, who was struggling to climb the rock wall to survive.

Accompanied by a suppressed growl.

The gray wolf, jumping up, caught Hana's clothing at her waist, easily tearing it apart.

And the tender human skin, in front of the gray wolf's sharp teeth, was as fragile as the igloo.

Specks of crimson splattered from Hana's waist as the gray wolf bit into her!

Pain!

Cold!

Fear!

All sorts of sensations and emotions overwhelmed Hana's heart, causing her already despairing spirit to collapse.

Hana attempted to hold onto the wall single-handedly and stab the gray wolf with a dagger.

But now, she didn't have the strength to complete this action.

Hana was utterly in despair.

Her father's face, Norman, flashed in her mind.

Father, are you still alive?

She sighed deeply, her hands gradually losing their strength, and she was about to give in.

Both physically and mentally.

But at that moment.

The air suddenly echoed with a bizarre whistling wind sound.

Whoosh! Woooo~~

Accompanied by a frenzied sound, a silver-gray long spear tore through the air and snow, shot towards the gray wolf with turbulent airflow.

In a situation unseen by anyone, Chen Wen used the long spear for an extreme and precise assassination!

The long spear accurately hit the gray wolf's back, smashing its spine with overwhelming force.

And tore through the wolf's body and viscera.

The impaled gray wolf suddenly felt a pain in its chest, and in the next second, it lost control of its lower body.

The gray wolf howled miserably as it fell from a height.

Struggling in the snow.

A large amount of blood flowed from the wolf's wound, staining and melting the surrounding snow.

Not only Hana high above, but even the pack of wolves were also dumbfounded.

No way?

What's happening?!

Where did our leader go?!

And as the wolves were bewildered, Chen Wen pulled out a pistol.

The recent spear attack was because he wasn't confident he could hit the target from this distance with a gun.

Therefore, Chen Wen chose to trust his most skillful weapon—the long spear.

And the spear did not betray Chen Wen's trust.

Nearly thirty meters away, a single spear strike killed!

At this moment, Chen Wen stretched out his left hand to steady his trembling right arm.

He had used 200% of his strength just now, his muscles were now seemingly wailing.

Pulled a muscle!

Probably not a minor one.

Chen Wen's eyes flickered, but now he couldn't worry about so much.

Quickly unlocking the gun's safety, aiming with both hands, closing in on the wolves, shooting!

Bang!

In the dark forest, accompanied by a muffled gunshot, a gray wolf shuddered, instinctively biting at its chest.

But it gained nothing.

And soon, amid the wolves' bewilderment, there was another thunderous boom, bang!

The dim forest seemed to grow a ferocious beast, with each of its roars, a gray wolf was slain!

The gray wolves were utterly terrified.

And that beast showed no sign of sparing them.

Another loud boom, a gray wolf was shot in the buttocks, with a bloody hole appearing instantly.

Where's the enemy?!

The wolves looked around but could only smell a faint scent of smoke.

"Night Shadow" made the wolf pack unable to see him, and "Fruit Fragrance" ruined the wolf's sense of smell.

The wolf pack was terrified out of their wits by this unseen beast.

Amidst a series of wails, they scattered like startled sparrows!
