By the time he rejoined the team, a member swiftly reported from atop the Gale Qing Wolf:
"Alliance Hierarch, beyond the mountains ahead, there's a twenty-man Wolf Barbarian patrol squad heading our way."
Upon hearing this, Gu Ran didn't hesitate.
"Recall the war wolves and hide in the dense forest!"
The sixty people were quick to react, and before long, all had hidden in the dense forest nearby.
Fearing that the others might not understand, Gu Ran explained:
"Twenty Wolf Barbarians pose no threat to us and could be easily dispatched, but that might alert the Green Wolf Clan. If they intensify their patrols because of this, what will we do on our journey home? Fight them head-on, or choose a lengthy detour?"
"There's no need to provoke them now. Once we've retrieved our people, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to act."
