Chapter 5 Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy(1/2)

Since the death of his wife and daughter, Harry often searched for traces of wolves in the mountains and forests. He vowed to kill all the wolves in the mountains and forests to avenge the love of his heart.

That time, Harry discovered a group of resting wolves in an open area in the forest. Using the cover of the woods, he reached downwind of the open area and carefully counted seven wolves in the group.

Although Harry brought enough arrows, the terrain in the open area was relatively simple. Apart from a few mounds, there were only some shrubs and wormwood, and there was no safe place for attack and defense. The gap between the woods where he was and the wolves was

The distance was far beyond the range of a bow and arrow. If he went alone to fight one against seven, Harry didn't have much confidence.

But at that time, Harry was completely shrouded in hatred. Even though he knew that he might be killed by the wolf, he was still willing to fight desperately.

Harry only brought two animal traps with him. If these two animal traps can be used, then the number of wolves he will face will only be five. However, the wolf's sense of smell is too keen, even if the animal traps are

Even if it is well camouflaged, it will inevitably go unnoticed by the wolves.

Harry could only hope that the wolves would reduce their vigilance and sensitivity to the surrounding smells when they were running fast, so that he could lead the wolves to the position of the trap when retreating, and use the trap to assist in hunting.

Harry knew that as long as the first arrow was shot, there would be no turning back, but Harry did not hesitate. When he tiptoed to the most suitable distance, he stood up straight and shot an arrow cleanly, without missing a beat.

He shot into the heart of a wolf.

In just the blink of an eye, the wolves reacted and they quickly rushed towards Harry.

Harry accurately shot the second arrow, piercing the eye of the wolf running in front. The wolf screamed, fell forward and fell to the ground, rolled several times and died.

But the other wolves were not deterred. They avoided the bodies of their companions and rushed towards Harry quickly.

Based on the distance between the wolves and himself, Harry knew that he should retreat, but Harry tried to shoot another one. He knew that a physical fight with the wolves was inevitable, and one less wolf would give him more hope of survival.

Harry hesitated for a moment, and the wolves came closer to him.

Harry hurriedly took the arrow, but the nearest wolf had already jumped into the air and rushed towards him. Harry could only use the bow in his hand to sweep towards the wolf's body. The wolf could not avoid it in the air and was swept away by Harry's bow.

He fell to the side with a cry, but Harry's bow was also broken.

Seeing that the other wolves were close at hand, Harry had no choice but to drop his broken bow, turn around and run away.

There was still some distance to the location of the beast trap, and the wolves were chasing him very fast. Harry didn't dare waste a moment to pull out the sword. What's more, he knew that holding the sword in his hand would inevitably affect his running speed.

.

But despite this, how can a man's two legs outrun a wolf's four legs?

Although Harry had tried his best, he was still no match for the wolf in terms of speed. In addition, the bumpy ground made him run deeper and deeper, unable to maximize his speed.

Just a few steps away from the animal trap, a dent hurt Harry's foot, causing him to stumble to the ground.

The moment Harry fell, his heart was almost shrouded by the shadow of death. Fortunately, when Harry's body fell, a wolf that had jumped behind him suddenly lost its target and fell close to Harry.

His body flew over and happened to land on the animal trap, and was firmly clamped by the animal trap with a click.

Harry secretly felt lucky. He used the momentum of his fall to roll twice on the ground, successfully avoiding the attack of another wolf, and then stood up as quickly as possible. However, a heartbreaking pain came from his left ankle.

He almost fell down again.

He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, intending to pull out the sword. However, the wolves did not give him time. Just as he was trying to maintain his balance, another wolf rushed towards him.

Harry's flexibility was limited by his foot injury, and he had no weapons in his hands. The only thing he could do was to use his left arm to face the wolf's mouth. Faced with the siege of four wolves, without weapons in hand, Harry would only die.

So Harry would rather sacrifice one of his arms to fight for a chance, a chance to draw the sword.

The wolf's teeth were so sharp. When they penetrated Harry's sleeves, pierced Harry's skin, and pierced deeply into Harry's muscles, Harry screamed in pain. He instinctively moved his left arm to one side.

The wolf was thrown away, but a large piece of flesh on Harry's arm was also torn off.

This was Harry's big gamble in a desperate situation. He exchanged his bloody left hand for a long sword in his hand!

"What happened next?" Harry's story stopped suddenly at this point. Kevin, who was listening with interest, couldn't wait to ask. Harry smiled proudly. He rolled up his left sleeve, exposed his forearm and stretched it out in front of Kevin.

: "Look, this is the souvenir that damn wolf left for me."

Kevin saw a large scar on the outside of this arm. Not only was the color of the skin different from normal skin, but it was also not as smooth as normal skin. It looked like dried orange peel.

Kevin also found that the muscles under this large scar were obviously not as full as other places, which showed how much flesh the wolf had bitten off. Kevin's heart trembled when he saw it, and he asked Harry: "Mr. Harry, your arm

You weren't affected, were you? When I saw you shooting before, you seemed fine."

"Fortunately, I didn't hurt any muscles or bones, otherwise my arm would have been useless long ago, and this lonely old man like me would have starved to death in the wilderness."

Kevin smiled stupidly: "Mr. Harry, please tell me quickly, what happened next?"

"What happened later..." Harry frowned, trying not to be disturbed by the past, and trying his best to tell the story in a calm state of mind.

Although Harry pulled out his sword, one of his legs was bitten by a wolf that rushed over because of his inconvenience. The wolf tried to drag Harry to the ground, and Harry hurriedly slashed at it with his sword. The wolf was very alert.

, seeing the long sword slashing at him, he hurriedly let go and stepped aside.

After Harry struck the air with his sword, before he had time to stop his sword, another wolf had bitten Harry's sword-holding right hand from behind. At the same time, another wolf rushed toward his face.

Harry was shocked, but he couldn't dodge. He could only fall to the left, barely supporting the ground with his seriously injured left hand to avoid the wolf's frontal attack. His right hand also used the strength of his body to lift the long sword.

The slashing momentum turned into a slash from bottom to top, hitting the waist of the evil wolf that was trying to bite Harry's right hand, and cut it into two pieces with one sword stroke.

Although Harry escaped this disaster, he also lost the chance to stand up again.

After he completed the killing blow, his left arm no longer had the strength to support him. He fell to the ground, and three wolves rushed at him from three directions at the same time.

Due to the restriction of his posture, the long sword was no longer useful, so he could only abandon the long sword and pull out the dagger from his waist.

Among the three wolves, one headed for Harry's feet, one bit his right arm holding the dagger, and the other went straight for his throat.

At this critical moment of life and death, Harry had no choice but to fight against the wolves. He put his left hand in front of his chest to hold the attacking wolf, and stabbed upward with the dagger in his right hand. The wolf tried to bite Harry's throat, but it never thought

Kill first.

But his feet and right upper arm were inevitably bitten by the other two wolves. Enduring the severe pain, he lifted the dead wolf off his body, turned his whole body to the right, and hugged the wolf that bit his right arm and refused to let go.

together.

Taking advantage of the rolling situation, he quickly handed the dagger to his left hand. After a few cuts, the wolf stopped moving.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the last remaining wolf whined twice, turned around and ran away without a trace.

"Is it over?" Kevin didn't dare to speak out after hearing this. It wasn't until Harry said this that he let out a long sigh of relief.

"It's over. Fortunately, the number of wolves in this pack is limited. If there were one or two more wolves, young man, you really wouldn't be able to see me today."

Kevin knew that this was a story, but he was no less nervous than experiencing a fight with a pack of wolves. Fortunately, Harry joked like this, and Kevin calmed down. He joked back to Harry: "No.

Is there another one? It doesn’t pose a threat to you?”

"Where is there another one? Didn't I just say that it had already run away with its tail between its legs?"

"No, Mr. Harry, isn't there another one in the animal trap?"

"That other end... Haha, I won't tell you!" Harry hadn't told a story so comfortably for a long time, not to mention that this audience was not only loyal, but also interesting, which made Harry have an inexplicable liking for Kevin. A naughty remark

blurted out accidentally.

With that said, Harry stood up and arranged for Kevin to dig a few vegetables from the vegetable garden. Then he cooked two vegetables himself and took Kevin to sit down and drink: "Kevin, for so many years, you are

The first person who is willing to listen to my story, come on, let’s have a few drinks today.”

Kevin was naturally very happy, and he continued to chat with Harry while drinking. He asked Harry: "Mr. Harry, when you tell this story, do you want to tell me that wolves are very ferocious animals, and you must be careful when facing them?"

You must not be timid, and you must not be merciful?"

"Yeah." Harry nodded, "But young man, you are only right about a small part of it."

"Then are you trying to say that outsmarting is not a simple matter?"

"No, no." Harry shook his head vigorously under the influence of alcohol. He patted Kevin on the shoulder and said, "Young man, the reason why I am telling you in such detail is because I want you to know more about the characteristics of wolves. You can only understand the characteristics of wolves."

The more people there are, the easier it will be to find their weaknesses and then defeat them.”

"Mr. Harry, don't let me guess what other habits wolves have, please tell me quickly."

Harry picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Kevin: "After drinking this glass, I will tell you everything." Kevin was very happy. He poured all the wine into his stomach as soon as he raised his neck, and then drank the empty wine as if he was drunk.

The wine glass showed off in front of Harry: "I did it, Mr. Harry, it's your turn."

Harry drank the wine in the glass, then slammed the glass on the table: "Great! So happy!" Then he took one of Kevin's hands and continued talking eloquently.

Harry said that wolves are social animals. They are usually led by one wolf and live in groups of three to five. Sometimes the number of the group can even reach dozens.

There are very few wolves that act alone. Even if they do, the lone wolf is either a loser who has been expelled to challenge the alpha wolf, or an old wolf looking for a burial place alone. Therefore, if you want to fight against a wolf, you must first be prepared to fight against the pack.

Prepare.

The wolf's habit of living in groups has created another characteristic of wolves, that is, they are very particular about teamwork. To put it simply, wolves have their own division of labor when hunting.

For example, when hunting large animals, some wolves will jump on the back of the animal. The purpose is to scare the prey and distract the prey. Some wolves will bite the limbs of the prey, naturally to restrain the prey's movements.

, and some wolves will attack the trunk of the prey, trying to bite the prey's belly and make the prey lose its ability to resist as soon as possible.

Finally, there is another type that will patiently wait for the opportunity. When the prey has no time to take care of it, they will suddenly attack and target the prey's throat. Once they successfully bite the prey's neck, the only thing waiting for the prey is death.

.

Of course, the scary thing about wolves is not only this, they are also very tough animals, animals that will never give up until they achieve their goals.

A tiger is very powerful, and a lion is also very powerful, but neither tiger nor lion is willing to conflict with wolves. The reason is not only that the wolves will have a numerical advantage in the conflict, but more importantly, the wolves

The swarm will not be afraid, no matter how powerful the opponent is, they will fight resolutely, even if it costs their own lives.

Therefore, in the battle with the wolf, you cannot take any chances. Once the battle begins, you must persist until the end, otherwise, it will not be the wolf that falls to the ground but you!
