After reassuring the girls, Yang Guang went into the mountains with a woodcutter and a flashlight.
Every household in the village had already rested. No one noticed that a flashlight was flashing around in the mountains.
It was also Yang Guang’s first time going into the mountains at night. Other than the places that the flashlight could reach, his surroundings were all dark. No one knew what was in the woods and bushes.
If he hadn’t obtained the Method of Divine Farmer, Yang Guang wouldn’t have dared to enter the mountains at night.
Now, although he was emboldened because of his skills, his heart was still beating quickly.
Occasionally, there would be the cries of nocturnal birds in the forest. Other than that, there were also the cries of various insects and it seemed quite lively.
After walking for a long time, Yang Guang returned to the place where he picked up the pine nuts during the day. Soon, he found those three wolves’ corpses.
Unfortunately, he came back a little late.
At this time, the wolf corpses were only left with a bit of fur. The meat had been eaten by something unknown.
Yang Guang suspected the meat of the wolves the most. Because the pine nuts grew underground, and he didn’t see anything unusual when he dug them up, it was unlikely that they had caused the girls’ body changes.
These wolves came out of nowhere. He didn’t know where they came from. In the past, he had only heard of such things in the mountains far away. He didn’t expect to see them near his home.
This was strange in itself.
After searching on the spot and finding nothing, Yang Guang turned his head and looked into the mountains.
Since he was already here, he couldn’t go back empty-handed. Therefore, he decided to continue heading into the mountains to see if he could meet see wolves again!
If he could, he would kill a few more wolves and carry them back to research them.
As he headed west, Yang Guang gradually entered the mountains.
He walked for a few hours until his feet felt numb. He didn’t even know how far he had walked.
At this moment, it was already midnight. There were tall trees all around him. He couldn’t see the sky above his head, and he couldn’t even tell the direction clearly.
Yang Guang thought to himself, this was bad. If this went on, he would get lost!
So he quickly stood still and didn’t continue to walk around randomly anymore.
After thinking about it, Yang Guang felt that if he went back now, it would be easy for him to get lost. It was better to wait for daybreak.
Anyway, there were only two to three hours left before dawn.
After finding a big tree, Yang Guang sat down cross-legged.
Since he had nothing to do, he decided to cultivate for a while and wait until daybreak.
However, he didn’t expect to hear a rustling sound just as he was meditating.
Yang Guang opened his eyes. His surroundings were pitch black. He could only feel that the sound came from more than ten meters in front of him. It was as if something was coming from the fallen leaves.
He didn’t dare to turn on his flashlight. He could only watch with his eyes wide open.
Unfortunately, he could only see a blurry shadow moving forward. He couldn’t see what it was at all.
Yang Guang held his breath and watched. What passed by in the forest wasn’t an animal, but a large pack!
Judging from the approximate height of the shadows, it was very likely to be a wolves pack!
Yang Guang had a bad feeling. This wasn’t just a few wolves. There were at least dozens of them!
His previous thoughts were instantly overturned. He didn’t want to fight a pack of wolves while unable to see anything in the middle of the night!
Therefore, he tried his best to control his breathing and not make any sound so as to avoid being discovered by the pack of wolves.
Fortunately, those wolves were all hurrying on their way and didn’t even look in his direction.
Otherwise, with their eyesight, they would be able to discover him in an instant!
After about twenty minutes, the wolf pack passed.
Yang Guang heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was secretly shocked. He didn’t know what the wolves were doing and why they were traveling through the forest at night.
As his curiosity rose, he couldn’t help but want to find out what was going on.
However, the wolf pack was a little terrifying after all, so after contemplating for a while, Yang Guang decided to follow them.
Since he couldn’t turn on his flashlight, he slowly walked into the mountains in the dark.
Perhaps because he was lucky, after walking for a while, a ray of light suddenly appeared in front of him. Then, Yang Guang found himself in an open field in the forest.
The terrain here was low, and there was an open field the size of a football field. Not a single tree grew on it.
Because it wasn’t a full moon, the moonlight wasn’t very strong, but it was still able to let Yang Guang see the open field clearly.
In the center of the empty space was a pond. No one knew how deep the water was. The wolves that he saw earlier were all gathered around the pond and drinking water with their heads lowered!
Even though they were far away, Yang Guang could still hear the sounds of the wolves tongues slurping up the water!
“Good heavens, there are at least a hundred wolves here!”
Yang Guang was stunned as he watched.
After Yang Guang watched for a few minutes, the wolves drank some water by the pond and squatted there for a while before leaving in an orderly manner.
Yang Guang was very puzzled. Could there be something good in the pond?
The reason he thought so was because there were many small streams and rivers in the mountain. Why would a pack of wolves come all the way here to drink water?
Therefore, Yang Guang quickly came to the conclusion that there must be something off with this pond!
However, just as he was about to go and check it out, rustling sounds could be heard from the surrounding bushes again!
Yang Guang felt his scalp tingle when he heard that. He thought to himself, “Oh no, I’m surrounded!”
Therefore, without saying anything else, he hugged the tree trunk beside him and climbed up quickly!
When he reached the height of four to five meters above the tree trunk, a dark shadow passed through his feet and crawled towards the pond.
When he lowered his head to take a closer look, Yang Guang’s body trembled and he was stunned!
This time, it wasn’t a wolf, but a snake!
Hundreds of snakes of different sizes swam to the side of the pond. They were actually going to drink water!
Yang Guang was stunned. What kind of magic did the water have?
He didn’t dare to get down from the tree. He found a branch and sat down. He watched quietly until the snakes finished drinking the water. They stayed by the side of the pond for a while before leaving again.
Speechless, Yang Guang decided to stay put for now.
This place was only 50 to 60 meters away from the pond. However, if he went over now and another wild beast went to drink the water, he would have nowhere to hide.
Yang Guang decided to rest against the tree trunk. He thought to himself that he wouldn’t move until dawn.
Just like that, time passed minute by minute. After that, he saw a few more waves of creatures. There were rabbits, pheasants, and dozens of roe deers that came over to drink water.

When the sky gradually brightened up, the edge of the pond finally quieted down.
Yang Guang waited for another half an hour. The visibility around him was almost the same as during the day. Only then did he slowly get down from the tree and walk towards the pond.
When he got closer, he saw that the soil beside the pond was covered with footprints left by various animals. Yang Guang was stunned as he looked at it.
The water in the pond was very clear. He could see the bottom at a glance and it didn’t feel very deep. It was only about a meter or so.
Just as Yang Guang was feeling curious, he suddenly heard a thump behind him.. When he turned around, Yang Guang was instantly dumbfounded!
