Snowfield Shadow
The March tour of the sanctuary did not seem to have much of an impact on the white wolf.
After being released, it replanned its hunting territory step by step, found a cave under a rock, and went out hunting as usual at midnight.
Three months of having food all the time did not erase its ferocity. On the contrary, on the first night after returning, it hunted seven or eight small and medium-sized prey in a row, almost as if to vent its anger, and each of its moves was deadly.
"ah--"
The animals hiding in the dense forest ran away in panic, and they couldn't understand why the hunters dared to approach the dense forest after leaving once.
After putting down the carcass of the prey and glancing at the other fleeing animals, the white wolf did not continue to chase them, but instead wandered around the artificial feeding point and observed.
The feeding area was filled with various fruits and vegetables cut into small pieces, piled up in red and green colors, with residues of saliva from various rodents. For carnivores, it was really disgusting.
The white wolf ignored all this. It lowered its head, sniffed, and identified carefully.
In addition to the smell of the food itself, it smelled a more familiar smell. This smell was not like something that existed in nature. It had a faint chill and sharpness, and smelled inexplicably uncomfortable. If you had to say it, it was very similar to the smell of the live prey that was released in that small room.
White Wolf seemed to be thinking about something.
People do not intend to appear in front of the white wolf often, hoping to maintain the white wolf's wildness and necessary vigilance, but the wolf's olfactory organ is not a decoration. It realized early on from clues that many things were the work of the same group of people.
After finishing its observation of the feeding point, the next night the white wolf traveled a hundred miles and arrived at the forest where it had been trapped by a trap before.
The smell of the air was very faint. The white wolf followed the remaining smell of blood on the ground and found the place where it had been trapped before.
The beautiful big white wolf leaned down slightly and sniffed carefully in the small space where it was once imprisoned. Its eyes were calm, but undercurrents were surging.
The audience has been confused since last night and is even more confused now.
[Hiss, I'm confused. ]
[I don't quite understand what Langlang is doing. 】
[It’s good that it’s not as mechanical as before, but what are you running around for now? 】
[Is it to check whether the trap has been cleared by humans? ]
Narrator answers questions:
“Although my attitude towards these people has changed slightly because of the care of kind people, that’s all.”
"He will always remember the pain he felt when he was in such a desperate situation, and will definitely seek revenge himself."
"He will never give up until he gets revenge. He is just that extreme."
"Even if he is feared and terrified, he doesn't care."
"I've already said it before, he is not a kind person by nature."
[Oh wow! Is Langlang going to seek revenge himself? ? ]
【Ahhh, exciting, a thousand-mile chase! 】
[Aren’t all the hunters arrested? The wolves will run away, right? ]
[The White Wolf probably doesn't know. From its perspective, it was itself injured and then rescued, and it must have thought that the perpetrator was getting away with it.]
[If a wolf hurts someone, won't it be caught and killed? ]
[Rare wild animals that hurt people will at most be put under surveillance...Only those in captivity in zoos will probably be humanely destroyed.]
[Besides, this is in a country with lots of buffs, hahaha. ]
[I support this. Poachers are not good people! Wolf, go and do it!]
[…Huh? That’s not right. Why did Wolf Wolf go to the feeding ground to smell the scent on the first night? ]
No one answered the audience's last doubts. Meanwhile, the staff who had watched the white wolf run away for most of the night behind the drone surveillance were also confused and brought people to discuss:
"This big guy's trajectory is very strange."
"Running around everywhere, what does it want to do?"
"I don't understand...you should pay more attention tonight."
It was not until the middle of the night, when they saw the red dot symbolizing the white wolf running straight toward the houses in the suburbs, that they finally panicked:
“Oh my god, oh my god, is the white wolf trying to attack humans??”
"Why? Did we stimulate it?"
"Quick, notify the people over there to evacuate urgently!"
Vanessa stared at the map on the screen with a frown on her face. Suddenly she thought of something and quickly pulled someone over to ask, "Is this the home of the hunter who placed the trap before?"
"ah??"
After paying the bail and using some connections to smooth things over, Luke was finally released.
He sought out companions with similar experiences to drink with to relieve his sorrow, and was extremely angry at the table.
“Wolf, what a lousy wolf…” He bit his big tongue and slammed the table. “It fell into the trap because of its own incompetence. What does it have to do with me?!”
His companion was also worried: "Isn't it just that I forgot a few traps? I was upset when I didn't catch any prey, but in the end I caught something unlucky, so I lost money."
Luke asked him: "So, what are you going to do next?"
The companion sighed, "I'm afraid we can't stay here any longer. I just like this craft, it's very profitable, and then... let's move to another state to continue. I hope that a resurrected white wolf won't suddenly appear in other states."
Luke slammed the table. "Leave?! Just leave like that?!"
His companion looked at him and said, "What else can you do?"
Luke's face flushed, he stumbled down from his seat, dragged his companions to the warehouse, and muttered: "We have to throw some more clips before we go. This time they didn't clean up properly, can they punish me for the same crime again?"
"It would be best if we could catch that stinky wolf again! Break all four of its legs! Asshole who ruins other people's business..."
The two drunken men actually opened the warehouse in the middle of the night and staggered to set a trap in the woods not far away.
"More soil! And more grass!"
Luke squatted beside his companions and gave orders with a thick tongue: "Hide well like we did last year. It would be best if you could survive until winter. By then we will have been well off in other states and they will definitely not be able to find us!"
They don't care how many animals will be accidentally killed by the traps they set now.
To them, animals are mostly just walking furs. If an ordinary small animal steps into a trap, they will be disgusted.
After placing the last trap, they both supported each other and stood up, looked at each other and laughed, then staggered back.
They have to pack their bags and rush to other states to continue their business...
call--
The early spring evening breeze was cool, dispelling some of their drunkenness and making their vision clearer.
Closer, closer.
The field of vision reflected tall chimneys, gray and thin huts, and... a giant pure white wolf glowing in the moonlight.
The two of them stopped in their tracks at the same time, their entire bodies stiff as if they were unlubricated machines.
They sobered up almost immediately, and screams filled their throats, which were forced down, almost making them bite their teeth off.
“Woo——”
The giant wolf, which is two meters long and weighs more than 70 kilograms, is frightening just by looking at it from a distance.
And in the moonlight, it raised its head and howled. The sound was faint, like a poisonous snake that kills people, and it suddenly tightened their hearts.
Just as the two were about to retreat, they saw the white wolf stop calling, lower its head, and lock onto them with a pair of dark animal eyes reflecting the moonlight.
Hunters' experience tells them that wolves generally do not actively attack humans. They are very smart animals and they know that humans have weapons in their hands...
But then they thought of the trap they had casually dropped and the joke they had made not long ago, and a terrifying sense of uneasiness swept over their bodies, making them feel dizzy and black before their eyes.
At this moment, the white wolf slowly walked towards them.
"ah!!"
This is how the psychological defenses were broken.
They all knew they couldn't outrun the wolf, but no one could stay calm in the face of absolute danger. Moreover, they were all thinking, what if the white wolf went after another person? Wouldn't they be able to escape?
The two people who had just been supporting each other closely changed their expressions in an instant. They pushed each other hard and tried to run in the direction they thought was safe.
But this is useless to the white wolf, because the wolf is best at driving away prey.
“Ouch—”
The branches and leaves blocked the moonlight, the dim environment confused people's perception, and the low roar aroused people's fear. The two people who had originally fled separately were gradually forced to the same place.
Both of them felt that the wolf was following them, and they suspected that the footsteps behind them were the white wolf. The footsteps became more and more chaotic, and in the end they were in a daze and didn't know where they were.
As soon as he thought he had stopped safely, he saw a flash of white coming towards him from the corner of his eye, forcing him to keep running, not daring to stop even when he was exhausted.
Until they were forced into a familiar forest.
Click——
Click——
They stepped into the trap they had set.
"ah!!"
The severe pain made their fear-controlled brains barely rationalize. They looked at their situation and then fell into deeper despair.
No one knows the power of these traps better than them. The tightly-locked metal teeth and the metal lasso almost lock the prey in place. Even if the prey loses a leg, it can't escape far. Experienced hunters will follow the blood trail to find it...
The threatening voice that had been pressing upon them suddenly stopped.
Luke looked up in a daze, and saw that the white wolf that had been chasing them for a long time was standing at the entrance of the forest. It was breathing steadily and looking at them with its cold, inorganic eyes.
——As if he was looking at which good pieces of meat they had.
Luke's face twitched violently.
That look was clearly the way they used to look at their prey!!
He finally understood what the familiar feeling along the way was.
The white wolf's actions of forcing and driving them away, its mentality of playing with and teasing its prey, were no different from their usual behavior of hunting animals.
But, how can this be the same!!
They are human beings, how could they become prey!
Click.
Click.
The white wolf looked at them coldly for a few seconds, then suddenly raised its paw and slowly approached them.
Fear took over their brains again and they began to struggle frantically. The trapped calf could faintly make a sound of bones breaking.
They were suddenly filled with pain and fear, and dared not make any sound to attract the white wolf's attention. They could only make faint moans in their throats, with fear in their eyes.
It looks so much like the old deer that day.
This might be the first time for both of them to switch places.
The white wolf approached slowly, but did not attack. Instead, it sat a few meters away from them, watching them quietly, exerting invisible oppression.
They might be trapped in the forest for a few days, and then die from the shock and anxiety of the past few days; or they might happen to encounter hungry wild carnivores, and then be trapped and eaten to death; or they might try to break free from the trap, and then die from wound infection and excessive blood loss...
These are predictable fates, as countless wild animals die this way.
The white wolf did not attack the two men, just as it had not previously tried to attack the injured old deer.
But the mentality is obviously different.
Because when the white wolf found that the two seemed to have calmed down, it would stand up, growl at them intimidatingly, and then continue to watch their struggle.
The cold and stern eyes of the beast, without any murderous intent, made the scene seem not like an ordinary attack from wild animals, but some kind of judgment.
——The judgment from countless animals who were trapped and died hopelessly.
“Ahh…”
The feeling of weakness caused by excessive blood loss, coupled with the intimidation of the powerful predator beside them, really made the two of them fall into a state of panic.
At one point they felt that they had really become the weakest and most common animals in the forest. While struggling in the hunter's trap, they had to be alert to attacks from predators that could come at any time, and they were isolated and helpless.
pain……
Both of them were dying.
But the audience didn’t buy it:
[You deserve it.]
[Where did the trap come from in the forest?! How dare you two release it? ? ]
[I was surprised to see them released from prison so soon, but now they dare to continue to secretly set traps. You deserve to be caught!!]
[Langlang didn't do anything, I can testify, he was just running in the forest for exercise, and then he ran into two humans who were trapped in his own trap. ]
rustle.
A strange noise came from behind him. The white wolf moved his ears lazily and turned around. As expected, he saw several familiar armed men standing behind him.
"You, this, I..."
They thought that the white wolf had suddenly attacked and injured people, but upon closer inspection, they found that the two people were trapped in a trap. The people who had originally planned to drive away the wolf with a pungent smell were speechless for a moment.
Hunter trap? ?
That definitely wasn’t done by White Wolf!
...No, trap?!
How dare you set traps when this area is designated as a protected area?
They were so shocked that they didn't even notice the white wolf leaving them quietly.
After they came to their senses, they quickly rescued the two men, but the legs of the two men who were trapped were twisted and broken, and they would probably be disabled from now on.
...Oh, not only that, they were released from prison early, set traps again, and committed crimes again. With this series of things accumulating, these two people may have to stay in prison for a few more years.
However, these two people seemed to have some mental problems. I don’t know if they were scared at the time, and I don’t know what the final result will be.
Was this actually done by White Wolf?
It seems not, but it also seems to be.
This incident was posted online, and one netizen gave a fitting comment:
[If we use the analogy of human society, the two hunters are criminals, and the punishment they receive depends on the crimes they have committed.]
[The White Wolf is more like a chief judge. It is just judging the hunters on behalf of the animals that were innocently killed by poachers.]
At the end, he couldn't help but add something personal:
[But I really can’t stand it. Why can these two guys be released just by paying a little money? Are the others also let off in the same way?]
[Then let the White Wolf punish it. I think it is restrained and cold, and will not be easily bribed.]
[It didn't even bite the throats of the two scumbags personally, but just squatted on the side and frightened them silently. What really knocked them down was their own belated conscience. So I think it's okay to give White Wolf a medal for its calmness and rationality, haha.]
Narrator: Revenge for every grievance, extreme
Netizen comment: I think it can be awarded a medal for its calmness and rationality~
