He called out to Xu Jiaming and Wen Fei, and just then, Ah Huang suddenly stood up, staring straight at the back of the forest, and let out a low, threatening growl.

Ah Huang's actions startled Chen Chongshan and the others. They quickly regrouped, and the other hunting dogs were also spurred on by Ah Huang. They all turned their gazes toward the back of the forest, their shoulder hair standing on end and low growls emanating from their throats...

The hounds' alarmed demeanor startled Xu Jiaming and his companions. Xu Jiaming gripped his rifle tightly, his brow furrowed, and asked Chen Chongshan and Wen Fei, "What's coming this time? Could it be a bear?"

"I don't know. Wasn't it said there was only one bear? It must be some wild beast attracted by the blood of this black bear," Chen Chongshan replied in a deep voice.

"It should be a wolf, not any other kind of creature. Wild boars wouldn't dare to openly attack the hunting dogs."

Wen Fei replied, gripping his dagger tightly in his hand: "We should all be careful. It could very well be wild wolves. These creatures are cruel by nature and very intelligent. We need to be wary of their sneak attacks."

"Why don't we all climb the trees?" Xu Jiaming paused, then said in a deep voice.

“Hmm, climbing a tree is fine too.” Wenfei pointed to several large trees around him and then climbed up first.

Chen Chongshan and Xu Jiaming both climbed the tree. The hunting dogs below still looked somber, especially Ah Huang, who stood at the very front of the pack, looking ahead.

Ah Huang heard some subtle noises and smelled some fresh scents in the air. It knew that something was coming, but those damned guys didn't show up for a long time.

This was a situation Ah Huang had never encountered before. It remembered the North China leopard it had met in the mountains of Lianshan Bay. If such a creature were to launch a sneak attack, it could certainly do so silently.

Ah Huang knew that this time it wasn't that kind of creature. It was already familiar with the scent of the North China leopard, but it also understood that even if it wasn't a North China leopard, the creature that came this time was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

The brindle dogs and Dogo Argentinos were getting impatient. They knew that their opponents were coming, but those guys hadn't shown up for a long time. This situation made them extremely uncomfortable. The dangerous atmosphere in the air made them restless. They took steps, wanting to rush forward and launch an attack to actively find those lurking guys. However, just as they took a step, Ah Huang sternly stopped them.

The enemy was lurking ahead. If the Dugos rushed out rashly, they would be lambs to the slaughter. It ordered them to stay put and wait. This seemed to be a psychological test.

Ah Huang doesn't understand psychology; it's just a dog with simple thoughts. As an excellent hunting dog, its experience tells it that staying put and waiting for the other side to attack is the best strategy.

……………………

In the forest ahead, ten bright green eyes, not very conspicuous in the sunlight, were lurking about fifty meters away from the hunting dogs. These were five ferocious wolves.

The organizers released ferocious beasts other than black bears this time. Although the black bears had a much higher score, many people understood that dealing with these five wolves would be even more difficult than dealing with the black bears.

As expected, they gathered together from the very beginning, and the strength of the group meant that they were not afraid even when they encountered black bears.

The five wolves had been staying in the cave on the mountaintop. They were attracted by the pungent smell of blood, but just as they were about to arrive, they sensed the presence of the hunting dogs ahead.

The wolf pack could tell from the howls that there was a large formation ahead. Cunning and treacherous are the impressions they leave on humans, but these traits are sometimes their means of survival in the mountains and forests.

Having detected the presence of the hunting dogs, the wolves naturally refrained from attacking rashly. They possessed numerous hunting methods, with ambush being just one of them. They were reluctant to engage in direct conflict with the hunting dogs, preferring to remain in place and wait for the dogs to either retreat or launch an attack, thus allowing the wolves to maintain control of the hunt.

Unexpectedly, the wolves remained hidden in place, and the hunting dogs also remained motionless, as if they had seen through the wolf pack's tricks and were responding to the situation with unchanging tactics.

This stalemate lasted for more than ten minutes. The forest was extremely quiet, yet full of danger. Ah Huang remained standing in place, calmly and steadily looking ahead, without moving an inch, without the slightest sign of relaxation.

The experienced Xia Si dogs surrounded Ah Huang. They knew what they were about to face and were all on edge, focusing their attention on everything that was happening ahead. Only the young tabby and the impulsive Dogo Argentinos were a little restless. They paced back and forth in place, letting out low growls.

The Dogo Argentinos were filled with curiosity about what lay ahead. Even with the smell of danger, they remained fearless. They were naturally incredibly brave, and several times they tried to rush out, only to stop in their tracks after seeing Ah Huang's gaze.

Ah Huang is their leader. In the hunting dog team, the dignity of the lead dog cannot be violated or disobeyed. Otherwise, they will not only be despised by their companions, but may even be punished by the hunters.

The hunting dogs remained motionless, and Ah Huang continued to hold his ground. The wolves began to stir. Although they were cunning and treacherous, the smell of blood in the air had stimulated their ferocious side. They finally couldn't hold back and began to slowly crawl forward.

Although wolves are canines, they are very alert. Their long-term hunting in the mountains has taught them to attack silently like felines. They were only discovered by the hunting dogs ahead when they had advanced about twenty meters.

Realizing it had been exposed, the alpha wolf led its companions forward at breakneck speed, charging fiercely towards the hounds.

The wolves ahead were coming fiercely. Although these guys were relatively thin, they had large frames, and the ferocity in their eyes was incomparable to that of ordinary dogs. Ah Huang sensed the ferocity of its opponents, roared, and took the lead in meeting them.

As soon as Ah Huang moved, the Dogo Argentinos rushed up as well. These fierce hunting dogs, native to the American highlands, never knew fear. They were full of curiosity about all their prey and wanted to hunt them down.
