There aren't many wild animals in nature that can use a fishing technique, not just because they lack intelligence, but because they are often in a state of prolonged hunger. Once they obtain food, they have little patience to use it as bait to attract larger prey.

Only a very calm hunter can do that.

For example, when lions catch a baby antelope, they will torture it relentlessly, causing the antelope to cry out in agony. The mother antelope will then be unable to bear it and will run over to fight the lion, turning one prey into two.

Generally speaking, animal fathers tend to be much more detached and don't show as much affection for their offspring as human fathers do.

In nature, many fathers have a weak emotional bond with their children, and at crucial moments, they don't pay much attention to them and may even abandon them altogether.

But many mothers in nature are even greater than humankind.

It is perfectly normal to be willing to give up one's life for a child.

Even a wild stray cat will prioritize feeding its young if it finds a little food; it's an animal instinct.

Predators who know how to take advantage of this are the kings of the hunting world.

“Looks like it’s that guy again. I was just thinking about how to get rid of him. Now that he’s delivered himself to our doorstep, we can’t let him go this time,” Wang Tianxiao laughed. “It’s all my fault for being so kind back then. I thought he was young and pitiful, and he was a life after all, so I let him go. I didn’t expect him to still remember these things.”

"Well, how should I put it? When you tried to save the leopard cat, you injured its mother, which interfered with the natural order. The leopard cat's cubs are pitiful, and so are the jackal's cubs. They compete with each other, which is how a stable ecosystem is formed."

We humans are inherently superior to the system and cannot be influenced by subjective emotions. Once we intervene, it will inevitably disrupt their original balance. They are inherently in a competitive relationship; if you help one side, the other side's living space will inevitably be compressed..."

Cui Wanshan sighed, "So it's normal for people to hold a grudge against you. Jackals and such creatures are inherently intelligent and can remember a lot of things. This jackal is clearly one of the smarter and more determined ones among jackals, a rare breed."

However, to put it another way, their existence in this world is an unavoidable consequence of our human existence. Just as they might poach cattle and sheep when hungry, or even attack women and children, it's not unacceptable for us to encounter them and kill them.

Since it refuses to admit defeat, we have no choice but to eliminate it. In the face of absolute survival, morality simply doesn't apply.

Wang Tianxiao nodded. "That's exactly what I think."

"Then we'll see what it does. If it stays put, there's nothing we can do, right? It's such a big mountain, it's impossible to find it. We'll just continue hunting our wild boars and keep to ourselves."

But if it comes out this time, then I'm sorry, we have to get rid of it. If the two of us who run through the mountains can't get rid of this beast, we'll be laughed at by others.

"Haha, that's right, let's set up the tent."

"Good. The place we chose tonight is pretty good. It's not windy, and the view is good. Even if wild animals come along, we can deal with them quickly."

As Cui Wanshan spoke, he put down the tent on his back.

With Wang Tianxiao's help, the tent was quickly set up.

Both of them were experienced, so they pitched the tent very quickly, unlike a novice like Wang Tianxin.

In less than half an hour, the two had finished setting it up.

The piglets this month are very tender and delicious, making it the perfect season for them.

Wang Tianxiao smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, this little wild boar is still useful."

"You want to use it for fishing?" Cui Wanshan's eyes lit up.

"That's right, why not? Even jackals can fish. We're human, so much smarter than them. We can't lose to them, can we?"

"Haha, that's true."

"Furthermore, I have a two-birds-with-one-stone idea. The jackals' goal is definitely not to lure us, and they don't know we're coming, so they're probably thinking of catching the wild boar. But since we know this, why not turn it around and catch both the wild boar and the jackals?"

"you mean……"

"Like this, like this..."

I, Wang Tianxiao, briefly explained my plan to Cui Wanshan.

After listening, Cui Wanshan smiled and said, "Although it's simple, it's direct and very effective."

"That's right. What kind of intelligence do you need to deal with something like this? The jackal thinks it's smart, but that's only because most wild animals are actually quite stupid. But now it's facing us humans, and people like us who have been running around in the mountains for a long time. It can only blame its bad luck."

That makes sense.

After lighting the fire, seeing that it was still not dark, the two roasted some meat and drank some boiled water they had brought, and both ate their fill.

He also drank some alcohol to warm himself up.

As darkness fell, the two went into their tent to rest.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Tianxiao called out softly, "Old Cui, there's movement."

Cui Wanshan sat up and peered out through the gap in the tent. Under the moonlight, the snow on the mountain range was astonishingly white, like salt scattered all over the ground.

In the distance, some shadowy figures could be vaguely seen slowly approaching.

There were about a dozen of them, moving silently through the snow without making a sound. Just watching them quietly created a somewhat eerie atmosphere.
