Chapter 36: The Wolves of the Horse (V)
In order to protect themselves from the cold, grizzly bears have very thick fur on their bodies, which even adult wolves cannot easily bite through.
Its main method of attack is to use its paws. One slap from its paw will leave a deep dent in the roof of the car, not to mention the wolf's spine.
When the wolves in Yellowstone Park encounter an adult male bear trying to snatch their food, most of them have no choice but to give in.
However, due to its large size and thick limbs, the grizzly bear has several fatal weaknesses.
Large bears often have poor eyesight, run slowly, and have slow reactions. They are only good at frontal attacks, and their entire backs and sides can become blind spots.
Powerful wolf packs often use harassment tactics to drive away grizzly bears.
Multiple wolves attacked from different angles, forcing the robber bear to give up and leave.
Otherwise, the grizzly bear will treat the wolf pack as NPCs that refresh food at a regular interval, and will come to steal the prey when it smells the scent.
Now, Yu Yiyun was the only one in the entire wilderness, with no helpers or big trees to hide in nearby.
Even if there were big trees, the black ball would have nowhere to hide.
The grizzly bear has all the energy it can muster, so it will certainly shake the tree so hard that it might break and the wolf cubs might fall out.
To beat the Grizzlies, you first have to be fast enough and then target their weaknesses.
There are three main places on a grizzly bear's body that are not covered by fur and can be easily penetrated.
First of all, it’s the butt. Unfortunately, even if Yu Yijun turned into a puppy, he still couldn’t bring himself to eat it.
Large animals accumulate a lot of waste gas in their bodies, and their farts are extremely smelly.
Bears are also prone to tapeworm parasites. Yu Yiyun recalled the news videos she had seen and was afraid that the bear would spray out several-meter-long tapeworms from its butt and wrap itself around it.
Secondly, this is also the weakness of most animals: the brain.
The giant bear was three meters tall, and the black fur ball was more than half a meter long from the soles of its feet to the tips of its ears. Even if it jumped, it could only hit its knees.
After much thought, he could only target the last weakness, the bear's paw.
The bears also have pads on their palms. If damage is done to the pads, even a strong bear like a grizzly bear will have to hide and recover.
Yu Yiyun is only five months old and is a complete greenhorn.
Even though the bear's paws have no hair to protect them, you can only scrape them with all your strength, which will not hurt the bear at all.
The black-haired ball hid in the dark, quietly examining the surroundings, carefully searching for weapons he could use, and quickly thinking of tactics in his mind.
After everything was ready, he crept up on the grizzly bear and dug at the ground with his paws.
Grizzlies have poor eyesight but decent hearing.
It noticed the puppy behind it that was not even as big as its paw, but it didn't take it seriously and continued to enjoy the prey alone.
Yu Yiyun dug in the east and scraped in the west, and finally everything was ready.
Then he raised his furry little head and walked proudly towards the giant bear.
“Ahhh!”
Tremble, enemy beast!
The giant bear felt the little guy approaching, but didn't take it seriously.
It's such a small thing, and the puppy will run away whimpering if it flicks it lightly with its fingernail.
The giant bear thought that the black ball would definitely not dare to snatch food from him, and he would not be able to do so.
It was very hungry, so it ignored the dog and continued to eat.
Unexpectedly, the little wolf is not only brave, but also timid.
They specifically pick the moment when the grizzly bear lowers its head to eat, and then pounce on it and bite it when it's not prepared.
The giant bear waved its claws impatiently, but the little guy had already run away.
It lowered its head again to prepare for eating, but the ignorant puppy came over and harassed it again.
The black bear roared loudly in frustration!
It was like enjoying a top-notch dinner in a five-star hotel, but a fly was flying around in front of your eyes.
After being harassed for more than ten minutes, the black bear finally couldn't stand it anymore and decided to get rid of the little guy first.
Just now, such a large pack of wolves didn’t dare to do anything to me.
How could a wolf cub that has just been weaned have the courage?
The giant bear was successfully enraged and rushed towards the annoying bear's cubs, roaring.
The black fur ball that was jumping up and down with great agility just now suddenly stopped moving.
If the grizzly bear had communicated with its black relative far away in the Qinling Mountains, it would have known that this guy was extremely cunning and was simply the nemesis of bears.
Unfortunately, bears cannot communicate across borders, so the giant bear thought he was tired of jumping around and was ready to slap him to death in anger...
“Waaaaaa——!”
The moment the bear's paw slapped down, a high-pitched and sharp cry echoed throughout the wilderness.
It turned out that at the moment the grizzly bear attacked, Yu Yiyun jumped away at the right time.
There were several sharp stones buried where he had squatted just now.
The giant bear had no time to retract its strength, and a small prismatic stone embedded deeply into its paw, causing it to scream in pain.
Even at this point, the grizzly bear did not realize that he was being plotted against, and his small brain was already dominated by anger.
It used its teeth to pull out the stone, roared and chased after Yu Yiyun, launching a second attack.
As a result, another scream, like that of a bear being killed, echoed in the wilderness.
A larger piece of stone was embedded in the place where the bear's paw had just been injured.
Its round bear eyes are full of wonder.
"..." Even Yu Yiyun was confused by this wave of IQ-lowering operations.
——Wait, the script is wrong!
According to Yu Yiyun's idea, Xiong Xiong's left paw was injured. Next time he encounters the same situation, he should change his paw or give up.
But he didn't expect that he would encounter a stubborn bear that was very confident in its dominant paw and continued to attack with its injured left paw.
The situation became somewhat unfavorable.
The grizzly was indeed injured, but only in his left paw.
The power disparity between the two is so huge that the giant bear doesn't even need two claws to kill the wolf cub.
Oh no!
God is going to kill this kid!
The grizzly bear originally didn't take the puppy that disturbed its meal seriously, but after two failed hunts, its anger reached its peak and it decided to swat the "fly" to death before continuing to eat.
"Wow!" The grizzly bear turned around and chased after Yu Yiyun who was about to escape.
It was much faster than before. Yu Yiyun had no time to wait at the place where he had buried the stones, and was so scared that he looked for a place to escape.
Although the giant bear moves slowly, the wolf cub, which is only five months old and has very short legs, cannot run fast either. It can only try its best to compete with the grizzly bear in endurance.
Yu Yiyun gritted his teeth and decided to learn from the old man and escape to a place with complex terrain, trying to confuse the grizzly bear.
The grizzly bear was angrier than expected. It leaned down and used all four claws to rush towards Yu Yiyun with all its strength.
It was so bloodthirsty that it didn't care even though its bleeding bear paws were bleeding.
It's going to bite this wolf to death!
When all four claws are used, the bear's running speed will be greatly increased, and the distance difference will be reduced again.
The raven that was originally hovering in the air to watch the fun realized that something was wrong, and it flapped its wings and flew down to peck at the grizzly bear's eyes.
Grizzly bears have small eyes, so it is impossible to accurately peck the eyeballs while running.
Raven tried several times but failed to penetrate the enemy's armor and was almost killed.
"Ah, ah, ah!" Yu Yijun did not forget to turn back and yell at the raven while running for his life.
The grizzly bear is angry and might kill the raven as well.
In order to remind the raven, Yu Yijun slowed down a little and was about to enter the grizzly bear's shooting range.
At this moment——
“Woo——!”
The long, powerful whistle reached Yu Yiyun's ears.
He looked over quickly and saw Theresa leading her family, running towards the grizzly bear.
Following the queen's command, the wolves moved with firm steps and ran very fast, fearlessly charging towards the grizzly bear that was several times larger than themselves.
The grizzly bear had just been harassed by Yu Yijun and was not full.
With an empty stomach and its important claws injured, its attack power was greatly weakened, and it soon fell under the siege of 11 wolves.
Soon, the grizzly bear gave up struggling and left the wolf pack's territory in a panic.
Theresa successfully drove away the powerful enemy beast and regained her pride as a queen.
She raised her legs, re-marked her territory, stood at the boundary and let out a long howl to declare her sovereignty.
Following the guidance, the other wolves came to the queen and shouted "woof woof woof" excitedly.
Yu Yiyun raised his furry face and looked at the wolves that saved his life. An inappropriate thought popped up in his mind:
Erha is having fun.
If Theresa knew what was going on in the pup's mind, she would never have done what she did next.
The queen walked up to the black ball of hair again, but did not wait for him to surrender. Instead, she touched his muzzle with her mouth.
This action is often more common between wolves of equal status.
She represents the Xie wolf pack, recognizes the strength of the Dian wolf pack, and is willing to form an alliance with the wolf pack where the black-haired ball is.
From now on, they will hunt together, resist enemy beasts, and welcome their own cold winter.
Yu Yiyun understood the signal sent by the Queen, and once again...
Run away with tail wagging!
Theresa looked at the little guy's tail, which was shaking like a propeller, and was unwilling to admit that she and he belonged to the same species.
His tail is wagging like a dog, and the wolf is completely embarrassed!
Theresa led the family back to the prey and once again claimed ownership of the food.
After seeing how they had just driven away the grizzly bear, the coyote that was planning to take advantage of the situation ran away in shame with its tail between its legs.
Several little wolves ran around the prey, taking a bite even if they were not hungry.
The head of the family, Theresa, growled, reminding the dogs to behave like wolves, otherwise it would be embarrassing in front of their allies.
Not long after, Yu Yiyun dragged Christine and the two greyhounds over to meet their allies.
He was a little worried. Christine's leg injury had not yet healed fully. Would she be disliked by her allies?
As a result, as soon as Christine appeared, Theresa came over immediately.
His husband and brother-in-law - two male wolves with similar fur color, like large huskies, rushed towards Christine a few steps ahead of the queen, wagging their tails and rubbing the female wolf's neck. The brother-in-law also nuzzled her mouth affectionately.
Yu Yiyun was stunned for a while before realizing:
The two sub-adult male wolves that Theresa picked up in the forest wetland were most likely Christian's sons who ran away from home to explore the world.
It was all because Yu Yijun wiped off the smell on her body before sneaking in every time, and used the smell of wild deer as a cover-up, so the two Huskies never noticed.
So…
Her Majesty the Queen, to whom I tried so hard to attract her attention, is actually my sister-in-law?
If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have gone through so much trouble and would have just brought mom over and let you and your mother-in-law discuss it yourselves.
——The wolf tribe does not care about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Although Christine has two good sons, one is Theresa's 'useless male wolf' and the other is 'useless brother-in-law'.
But the decision-making power of the wolf pack is firmly in the hands of the female leader.
Without Theresa's approval, the slanting wolf pack would never form an alliance with the point wolf pack.
Theresa has not had contact with Christine, but has had contact with the former wolf king Adam.
When she was a wandering female wolf, she often couldn't fill her stomach, so she sneaked into Adam's territory to pick up bones to chew on.
Adam discovered her but did not expel her, which allowed Theresa to get through the most difficult period.
Christine dragged her injured leg and saw the strange wolf pack, and was a little frightened at first.
She thought that the cub had noticed her distress and took her to a new wolf pack.
After entering the territory, Christine was still worried that the same thing as last time when she was bitten by the alpha wolf would happen again. Her two sons, who had already become independent, enthusiastically pounced on her and acted like a spoiled child.
The high-ranking female leader also came over and touched her on the muzzle, and asked family members to come forward one by one to say hello.
Christine finally reacted and introduced her three treasures to her new allies.
Since then, the two wolf packs led by female wolves in the forest wetlands have established an incredible alliance.
A few days later, a new post appeared on the Wolf Lovers Forum:
"Does Theresa's wolf pack take in foreign wolves again?"
The main post contains several photos. Tourists who braved the cold weather to visit Yellowstone Park captured 12 adult wolves hunting together from a distance.
The photographer is a fan of Theresa's wolf pack and knows that the pack has a total of 11 big wolves.
There was an extra wolf in the photo, so fans naturally thought that the Queen had accepted a new wolf before winter.
1L: If it was Theresa's wolf pack, then there would be no surprise. During the two years that Theresa was the female leader, she accepted foreign wolves every winter and kept all the wolves alive. She is really a great queen.
14L: Theresa's pack is my second favorite. Her Majesty is brave, strong, and loves her family. If I were to become a wolf, I would definitely join her pack. (My first favorite pack, Adam's pack, no longer exists. Sad.)
26L: Oh my god! Look who I see? The new wolf, it seems to be Christine who was declared dead last month?
29L: Christine? Her tracking collar had not moved for three days and was recovered by the ranger who came to check on the situation. There was a small amount of blood and a pile of bones of other animals left at the scene, so some people speculated that although Christine was seriously injured, she was fed and survived by chance.
37L: Great! Could it be that Teresa's wolf pack fed her? As I recall, Wang Fu and his brother-in-law are both Christine's children.
48L: No, no, no, how is this possible? Theresa's wolf pack is a long way from Adam's wolf pack. By the time they arrive, Christine will have starved to death.
57L: It's a dream! Could it be that Adam is still alive and has been bringing food to his injured wife?
63L: Stop your dream. Adam's skull has been collected and made into a specimen. However, when the skull was recovered, a black wolf was found hunting. It looked like Adam, but not the same age.
72L: Is it the one in the upper right corner of the photo?
86L: OMG!!! Aren’t those charming golden eyes the ones I’ve been dreaming about? I was told before that he would be the first one to starve to death, which made me sad for a long time.
94L: Is that little wolf the Golden Eye that everyone is concerned about? I saw a post about him a few days ago.
108L: I remember this post too. Is it this one? [Link: I took some cute photos of puppies during my trip. Does anyone recognize them?]
119L: I saw this post before, but I thought it was just an ordinary tourist photo and didn’t look at it.
124L: I saw it, but Little Golden Eyes was concentrating on eating, so I didn’t see his eyes and thought it was another wolf.
136L: This is incredible! The poster said that the black cub was hunting with two gray cubs.
At the time, everyone thought it was ridiculous and warned the poster not to make up stories on the forum.
The poster got angry and banned replies, so the post went to the bottom of the thread.
145L: I have a bold guess. Could it be that Jintong has been providing food to Christine so that the wolf mother could heal her wounds and take her to join the wolf pack where her son is?
151L: Christine will join the new wolf pack and will probably replace the bottom wolf that joined last year and become the new bottom wolf. Moreover, Theresa's wolf pack has its own cubs, so they will definitely give priority to feeding blood-related cubs.
168L: Christine was once the female leader of a legendary wolf pack, and I don’t want to see her become a low-level wolf. But compared to starving to death and being eaten by wild beasts, this ending may be better...
172L: Reply to 168F, I understand your feelings, and I also hope that Adam’s child can inherit the bloodline of the Wolf King as in the script.
181L: I think reality is developing according to the script. Look at No. 9119, he is less than six months old, and he has already hunted with the wolf pack.
194L: ...But No. 9119 was so far away and didn't participate in the hunt at all. Maybe it was a naughty little wolf who followed me because it thought it was fun.
202L: If that were the case, Theresa would have driven the little wolf back long ago. Although the queen was kind, she would not allow the cub to interfere with her hunting.
223L: I saw a new photo! The photographer accidentally took a photo of Theresa's wolf pack watching No. 9119 hunting otters before hunting. [Picture]
239L: A group of big wolves surrounded a small dog and watched it hunt otters. Compared with the photos in the main building, it's so funny~
250L: Golden Eyes: It's my turn to review your hunting results~
.
The black fur ball lay on a rock beside a puddle, basking in the sun, with no intention of taking part in the hunt.
Dogs like to play around and are unwilling to embarrass their developing baby teeth as long as they can sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Moreover, the wolf pack led by Theresa has 11 wolves that can participate in hunting.
In addition to her, the king's husband, her brother-in-law, and the queen's sister, the Zhixie wolf pack also included the queen's children left at home, two each from the first and second litters.
Yu Yiyun named the two 2-year-old wolves in the first litter "No-Brain" and "Unhappy" based on their characteristics.
They are siblings and have been playing together since childhood.
When my sister is unhappy and has eaten her fill, she will move away from the wolf pack with a look of disgust on her face and take a nap in a place where there are no other animals.
My stupid younger brother always pounces on her and insists on playing wrestling games with her.
How to say it.
iWolf is indeed eWolf's toy~
The second litter consists of two sisters, who are only one and a half years old. They have just joined the hunting team and serve as auxiliary and atmosphere creators.
Both of them have spotted hair. Yu Yiyun named the one with round and dense spots "Polka Dots" and the other one with square spots "Checkered".
In addition to Theresa's relatives, there are three foreign wolves in the Zhixie wolf pack.
Two of the male wolves followed the princess. The one that succeeded in getting the upper hand had its tail raised high, and would get close to his wife whenever it got the chance. Yu Yijun could tell at a glance that he was her "brother-in-law".
The other one seemed to be hurt by love and was always unhappy. Yu Yiyun secretly called him "loser dog".
'Loser' and the last female wolf to join, 'Gap Tooth', took turns occupying the position of the bottom wolf.
Theresa is obviously very good to the family, and even though she is a low-level wolf, she doesn't look skinny.
The bottom-level female wolf 'Gone Tooth' had no idea what she had gone through, and one of her canine teeth was broken.
A wolf without fangs will only starve whether it is wandering or in a wolf pack.
But every time Theresa caught enough prey, she allowed Quetooth to eat with the wolf pack.
In return, Toothless does most of the raising of the pups.
The size of the Zhixie wolf pack is not as large as the large wolf pack with more than thirty wolves, but its structure is very complete.
Theresa is the main force, the king's husband and brother-in-law, two male wolves in their prime, act as offensive forwards, and the king's sister, brother-in-law, and No-Brain are responsible for restraining the prey.
The few remaining wolves that are weaker will bite their prey madly to consume its strength when the prey struggles and resists.
With the configuration of the wolf pack, it is no problem to deal with a lone moose or elk.
The biggest problem is that Theresa doesn't know how to choose her prey and always chooses super-strong individuals that are extremely difficult to hunt.
Fortunately, after the two wolf packs formed an alliance, Christine's experience made up for this.
During the first hunt, the two female leaders walked in the front.
Theresa had originally set her sights on a fat female elk, thinking there would be no problem this time.
But Christine set her sights on another elk.
Out of respect for her ally, Theresa decided to follow Christine's advice.
Sure enough, after the wolves dispersed the herd of elk, the one Theresa chose ran the fastest, and several big ones surrounded it.
It turned out that the elk was pregnant. Not only was it extremely powerful, it was also regarded as a key protected object by the elk herd.
The deer that Christine chose was soon left alone.
During her years as queen, she had selected countless prey and could tell at a glance that this elk was in a dispirited state.
Yu Yiyun saw that the wolf pack's hunting was on track and estimated that the feast would soon begin.
He lazily got up and walked to the puddle to clean himself up before dinner.
When I looked up, I suddenly saw a short-tailed cat hiding on the other side of the river, staring at the black-billed swan in the puddle.
So, so cute!
Yu Yiyun was easily attracted by its round eyes, short tail, and plum-shaped pads.
The Bobcat is Yellowstone's most mysterious hunter and is difficult to encounter.
Except for its short tail, the bobcat looks and is similar in size to a domestic cat, and its meowing sound is particularly cute.
Yu Yiyun moved slowly, and leisurely watched the cat hunting.
Finally, when the black-billed swan swam past it, the short-tailed cat jumped up nimbly, spread its front paws, and pounced on its prey with its sharp claws.
The next second——
The swan flapped its wings and flew away, and the bobcat dived into the center of the puddle, its claws stuck deep in and unable to get out.
It's true that a leper can't eat swan meat.
Yu Yijun couldn't hold back her laughter and rolled on the ground.
"Ah~" Even worse than me, hahahahaha.
The bobcat's claws were stuck in the mud and it couldn't pull them out. The puppies laughed at it, so it got so angry that it started cursing.
"Meow meow meow! Meow meow meow meow!"
Yu Yiyun had been a cat before, so she knew that the curse was particularly dirty, and she laughed even more happily.
Finally, after laughing enough, Yu Yiyun picked up a branch and threw it into the puddle, letting the fish use the force to climb out.
“Woo——!”
Christine's voice calling her cubs came from far away.
Yu Yijun swung his tail and barked arrogantly at the stupid cat.
'It's so nice to be a dog, my mom is calling me home for dinner!'
"You cats, you have no father and no mother, and you can't catch a swan~"
After cursing, I suddenly felt something was wrong.
Wait, I think I cursed my past life?
