Chapter 62: Dine and Dash at Ba Wang’s

The tree was tall, and the wolves couldn't climb it; they could only stare helplessly, standing still in the dark night, which looked especially eerie. Firing a gun would easily expose one's position and attract pursuers, so everyone else could only look on helplessly as well. They neatly folded their sleeping bags, tucked them into their backpacks, and engaged in a stalemate with the wolves. Shan Hu, feeling particularly helpless, let out a wry smile and said, "Brothers, we're like tigers that have fallen to the plains and are being bullied by dogs. No one should act rashly. Let's wait until daylight."

Everyone was sensible enough not to provoke the wolves. Though there were only four in sight, who knew if others were hiding nearby? They all waited patiently. Since the wolves wouldn't leave, they simply took ropes out of their bags and bound themselves to branches to sleep.
