Chapter 2 Moving into Shicun
The next moment, with the captain waving his hand, the hunting team members quickly got up and moved towards the wolf pack.
Their movements were both cautious and decisive, each step revealing the hunting team's rich experience and tacit cooperation.
Such an aura caused even the air to darken, making the wolves, who had been focused on attacking Jin Zhong, feel the presence of death. They stopped tearing at Jin Zhong and turned their hateful gazes toward the uninvited guests.
The wolf king would occasionally let out a low growl, seemingly warning them not to act rashly.
Unfortunately, how could a hunting team that had been fighting ferocious beasts for years be scared off by a few mere roars?
On the contrary, instead of retreating, they quickened their pace, their weapons gleaming coldly in the sunlight, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the wolf pack at any moment.
At the same time, seeing that the wolves had stopped tearing at the golden bell and were instead all looking warily into the distance, the baby inside the bell was also filled with surprise and doubt, and turned his gaze in that direction.
As he watched the hunting party approaching step by step in the distance, a glimmer of hope flashed through his heart.
"Are they... here to rescue me?"
The baby pondered to himself that although he didn't understand why they were there, their presence gave him a great sense of security, which filled him with gratitude.
As the hunting party drew ever closer, the wolf pack could no longer contain themselves and launched another fierce attack. But this time, they were no longer facing a lone infant, but a fully armed hunting party.
Faced with the ferocious wolf pack, the members of the hunting team showed no fear whatsoever; instead, they were all fully focused and worked together seamlessly.
Some used bows and arrows to shoot from a distance, while others wielded stone axes to fight the charging wolves.
In an instant, the sounds of battle and wolf howls mingled together, creating a breathtaking scene.
The battle was extremely fierce. The members of the hunting team, relying on their superb martial arts skills and tacit cooperation, engaged in a life-or-death struggle with the wolf pack.
As the team leader, Shi Linhu took the lead, wielding a gleaming stone axe. Like a tiger descending a mountain, he charged into the wolf pack, unstoppable in his path.
Before long, the once ferocious wolves began to show signs of defeat under the attacks of Shi Linhu and the hunting team.
Some were hit by arrows and fell to the ground howling in pain; others were cleaved by stone axes, their blood splattering everywhere.
The baby inside the golden bell watched the battle intently, his little hands clenched tightly together as he prayed for the hunters.
Although he is just a baby, he can feel the kindness and protection of the hunting team members, which fills him with gratitude and respect.
As the battle continued, the number of wolves gradually decreased, and the hunting team gradually gained the upper hand.
Finally, after a loud wolf howl, the remaining wolves scattered and fled, disappearing into the wilderness.
After the battle ended, Shi Linhu and his hunting team did not immediately clean up the battlefield, but instead gathered around the Golden Bell.
Looking at the baby inside, blinking its big eyes at them, even though they were exhausted, their eyes were full of smiles.
Worth it!
This was the shared thought in the minds of all the hunting team members at that moment.
Shi Linhu looked at the baby inside the golden bell and smiled broadly, saying, "Child, don't be afraid, it's alright. We'll take you home now."
As he spoke, Shi Linhu slowly stepped forward and came to the golden bell. It was at this moment that he was surprised to find that the illusory golden bell did not seem to have lost its brilliance due to the long battle. On the contrary, it was even more dazzling.
Faced with the golden bell, Shi Linhu was at a loss for what to do, but seeing the little baby inside staring at him intently, he finally reached out his hand cautiously.
The next moment, to everyone's astonishment, when his hand touched the golden bell, the bell did not react at all. Instead, as if it sensed his goodwill, it slowly cracked open and finally disappeared.
"this·······"
Seeing the disappearing golden bell, Shi Linhu was surprised for a moment, then quickly went to the baby's side and hugged him.
Gazing at the baby in his arms, Shi Linhu felt as if his heart had been healed.
Her delicate, flawless skin, bright, large eyes, rosy cheeks, and tiny feet softened the rough man's heart.
As he looked at the picture, Shi Linhu's thoughts drifted away, as if he could see his unborn child.
Coincidentally, held tightly in Shi Linhu's warm and strong arms, the baby's small body felt an unprecedented sense of security.
The baby's rosy cheeks pressed against his broad chest, listening to his thunderous heartbeat. The infant was no longer as helpless and fearful as before, and a relieved smile appeared on his face. As if he had returned home, he fell into a deep sleep.
"What a lovely child."
Seeing this, Shi Linhu murmured softly, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Then, he looked up at the hunting team members around him and smiled when he saw the joy and sense of accomplishment on everyone's faces.
He knew that today they had not only completed the task assigned by the Spirit Master, but more importantly, they had saved an innocent life.
After a moment of silence, Shi Linhu suggested, "Let's go back to the village."
"Okay, Tiger!"
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, they reorganized their equipment and the battlefield to ensure nothing was missed, and then set off on their journey home with the children.
Back in Stone Village, news of the hunting team bringing back a baby spread quickly, and the villagers gathered around, curiously examining the new little life.
The children excitedly surrounded him, bombarding him with questions, while the adults chattered amongst themselves, speculating about his origins.
However, unlike the others, Shi Yunfeng, the clan leader, did not surround the child like they did. Instead, he approached a lightning-struck tree with only a single willow branch and respectfully inquired, "Lord Sacrificial Spirit, do you wish us to adopt this child?"
"This child is extraordinary; you should take good care of him."
As soon as Shi Yunfeng finished speaking, a calm yet respectful voice rang out.
"yes!"
Upon receiving the instruction from the lightning-struck wood, Shi Yunfeng immediately responded, then turned around and came to the side of the crowd. After glancing at the baby surrounded by the crowd, Shi Yunfeng then looked at Shi Linhu.
"Lin Hu!"
Although Shi Yunfeng didn't say anything, Shi Linhu instantly understood his meaning through his gaze: "Clan leader, you want me to adopt this child?"
