Chapter 58 focuses on this aspect of animals.

Wen Chengjian's expression changed, and he stopped and listened carefully. "It sounds like I heard wolves howling, and other noises as well."

Wen Chengbin lay on the ground with his ears pressed against it. After a while, he looked up excitedly and said, "Brother, it sounds like there's a horse neighing. What's going on?"

Wen Qikang and Wen Chengfeng were on high alert, each standing on either side of Wenwen to protect her.

Wenwen was completely bewildered. What was going on? What happened? Why was the security so tight?

Wen Chengjian gave the order without room for doubt: "Second brother, I think it's a pack of wolves. Help them climb the tree, I'll be right back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Chengjian disappeared in a flash.

Wenwen wasn't scared at all; on the contrary, she was a little excited. Good heavens, in her previous life, she was a little red flower raised under socialism, always taught to love and protect wild animals and never to hunt endangered species. Now, she'd arrived in an era where wild animals could be killed at will, and she was walking through a primeval forest, about to encounter a large number of protected animals. How could she not be excited?

She didn't want to climb the tree, and pleaded earnestly, "Second Brother, I can climb trees. Can I climb up later? Let me see first."

At this moment, Wen Chengbin was like a fierce and menacing older brother. He ignored Wenwen's gaze and said, "No, climb up right now."

Wen Qikang urged from the side, "Hurry up, listen to me."

Wen Chengfeng, the assistant, even dared to urge her from the side, "Little sister, hurry up and climb. You can see farther and clearer from the tree. Your fourth brother is not lying to you."

Qi Qikang gave a double affirmation: "Yes, the view is better from the tree, Uncle guarantees it."

Wenwen gave them a disdainful look. "I don't believe you for a second. The father and son are both good at fooling people, treating her like a three-year-old."

Wenwen couldn't resist these people and eventually succumbed to their power.

Before climbing the tree, she handed him the dagger and her second brother's withered branch.

She climbed the tallest tree nearby as quickly as possible, taking up the highest vantage point and looking down at everything below.

With the help of Wen Chengbin, Wen Qikang and Wen Chengfeng quickly settled down on the second tallest treetop next to them.

To disperse the wolves' attack, the three sat in three separate trees, not far apart.

Not long after, Wen Chengjian came running back, covered in sweat and panting. "There are about a dozen wolves. Second brother, hide first, quick!"

Soon, the sound of the wolf pack's footsteps grew closer and closer.

Looking out from the high vantage point, Wenwen could indeed see clearly that more than a dozen wolves were all heading straight for them.

Upon reaching the tree, the dozen or so wolves slowly circled around, sniffing here and there. Suddenly, they dispersed, forming small groups of three or five, and gradually converged in several directions.

Only under the big tree where Wenwen was, no wolves approached.

Several wolves were circling under the trees belonging to Wen Qikang and Wen Chengfeng. They kept howling at the people in the trees, their claws scratching the tree trunks, and they even tried to climb up.

The place where Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin were hiding was easily found by the wolves.

"Awoo... Awoo..." The howls of wolves rang out, and war was about to break out.

Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin jumped out of their hiding place. One used a dagger and the other a wooden stick. The two used all their skills to fight the wolf pack in close combat.

A wolf leaped into the air and charged at Wen Chengjian. Wen Chengjian ducked to avoid it, then crouched down, raised his dagger high, and swiftly and accurately slashed the wolf's belly from head to tail. The other wolves ignored him, readjusted their angles, and attacked even more fiercely. Wen Chengjian and the wolf pack were locked in a fierce battle.

The fight on Wen Chengbin's side was somewhat unbearable to watch. He had no sharp weapons, only a handy short staff made of spotted vine. His attack strategy was to aim for the wolf's head and try to kill it with one blow. When he couldn't find the best attack position, he had to dodge in every way possible.

As Wen Chengbin dodged and weaved, several stalks of star lotus grass fell from his pocket into the grass.

Suddenly, the attacking wolf pack all turned around and rushed towards the star lotus grass.

The harmonious balance among the wolves was completely shattered as they began tearing at each other, fighting over a few blades of grass.

The people in the tree saw this scene clearly.

The two men fighting the wolves under the tree were also quite bewildered. Just as the fight was getting intense, their opponent suddenly turned and ran away, causing them to hit nothing but air. It was simply absurd.

Wen Chengjian wouldn't let this opportunity pass, so he brandished his dagger and chased after him, slashing wildly.

Wen Chengbin was even more indignant. The magical herb his sister had just given him had been ruined by the wolves before he could even enjoy it. He couldn't let them get away with it, so he swung his short stick and started hitting them.

Working together, the two quickly killed all the wolves that were attacking them.

As Wenwen watched the battle on the ground end, she couldn't wait to climb down, her feet barely touching the ground.

Wen Chengbin scratched his head, feeling embarrassed, and said to Wenwen, "Little sister, well, the grass is gone. I didn't protect it well. I really feel ashamed of myself."

"What are you saying, Second Brother? If anyone should feel guilty, it's me. I've caused trouble for everyone."

"Huh? How could that be?" they all asked curiously.

Wenwen had just witnessed the wolves fighting over the star lotus grass from the tree, and the question immediately popped into her head: what was Xianbao thinking?

Xianbao only said, "Try to keep items from the spirit world out of sight as much as possible, because if you can't protect them, they can easily cause trouble."

Of course, she couldn't repeat those words, so she could only put it another way: "Star Lotus Grass is quite special; it easily attracts animals. I gave you the grass, so isn't it me who caused you trouble?"

Who knew that these people were completely unconventional? Upon hearing about this grass-like creature, they ignored all the dangers and started having wild ideas.

Wen Chengbin grabbed Wen Chengjian's arm and shook it vigorously. "Brother, it would be great if we could summon a horse. I want a horse, preferably a Ferghana horse."

Wen Chengjian shoved him away with a disdainful slap. "Second brother, I want to too."

With starry eyes, Wen Qikang dreamed, "I want a tiger."

Wen Chengfeng spread his arms, stood on one leg, and struck a pose with outstretched wings, saying, "I want an eagle."

Wenwen felt a pang of bitterness as she listened to their nonsensical remarks.

She only said that the star lotus grass attracts animals, but she didn't say which kind of animals it attracts, nor when it will attract them.

They even lit animals here! What are we going to do? How can these people be so careless?

Wenwen sighed and took out a large handful of Star Lotus Grass, handing it to Wenchengjian.

"Brother, why don't you try and see what you can attract? I can't guarantee that whatever you want will come to pass."

After Wenwen finished speaking, she climbed up the tree on her own and ate potato chips and cola to calm her nerves.

The group of people under the tree tied the star lotus grass tightly and hung it under the middle tree. The two ends of the grass rope controlled its up and down. They also found some large leaves to fan the star lotus grass.

Some people euphemistically called it: "Stirring up a strong wind, spreading fragrance for thousands of miles, guarding the grass and waiting for things, walking into the net, killing each other."

Not long after, some footsteps were heard, and gradually the footsteps increased.

Some were running, others were darting and running; it felt like they were all swarming towards this place.

Wen Chengbin suddenly became excited, "My horse, my horse! I can hear their footsteps and their neighing. Brother, we must catch them and tame them."

Wen Chengjian also perked up, eager to try, rubbing his fists and feet together, the two whispering to each other for a while.

Wenwen heard that the commotion was quite loud. She stood up, put her feet on a tree branch, took out her binoculars, and was completely dumbfounded.
