The monkey, being closest to Huoshi, took out his lighter and handed it over.
Huoshi quickly lit the makeshift torch. He initially thought of throwing the torch down to scare the wolves away, but then realized it wasn't realistic. If he threw the torch down, it would probably go out. Even if it didn't, such a small torch wouldn't have much effect. He tried firing several shots, but the wolves weren't afraid, so a small torch definitely wouldn't deter them.
So, if he wanted to draw the wolves away, he would have to go down himself. They couldn't just stay trapped in the tree.
He quickly said to the others, "I'll go down to draw the wolves away with the torch. You need to move quickly and take this chance to escape."
Tang Anzhi, seeing that Huoshi was planning to take the risk alone, quickly stopped him. "No, a single torch won't have much effect. How about the four of us each make a torch and go down together?"
