The panicked wild goat, upon seeing Mo Yan blocking the way in the center, abruptly stopped, its strong forehooves pawing the ground restlessly. Its large eyes were filled with terror, and it clearly perceived Mo Yan as a threat, just like any other docile herbivore would.
Mo Yan could neither advance nor retreat, but the next scene left her no time to think as the previously howling pack of wolves had drawn near, forming a besieging circle that enveloped both human and goat alike.
Mo Yan was dumbstruck; she had unwittingly walked right into the hunting circle of the wolf pack!
Facing the menacing wolf pack, the entire flock of goats began to stir. At the lead goat's frantic call, over a dozen robust adult goats spread out, forming a circle to tightly protect their weaker and older companions in the center. Their hooves planted firmly on the ground, their large eyes glaring fiercely at their foes, they were ready to defend against an attack.
