Bab 62: 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.

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."
