Chen Yang immediately realized that if the wolves left so easily, they might have to live in their shadow for the rest of their lives.
Having learned their lesson, the wolf pack will never attack so rashly again; they will definitely attack when the wolves are out.
Without hesitation, he grabbed a half-burnt piece of wood from the ground and walked step by step toward the exit of the fence.
"I'll go with you." Ye Wu nocked his arrow and followed behind Chen Yang, his eyes fixed on the wolf pack.
"Woo~" The wolf king howled again, and all the wolves started running quickly. Chen Yang had no time to stop them.
"Ye Wu, shoot the wolf king and stop his movements."
Chen Yang shouted loudly.
Ye Wu fired an arrow, which the wolf king easily dodged with a light leap, but this slowed its movements by a few steps. Chen Yang seized the opportunity and threw out the still-burning piece of wood he was holding.
The log missed the wolf king, but the flying sparks forced it to stumble back a few steps.
By this time, most of the wolves had already run out the door. When Chen Yang walked to the door and closed it, only the wolf king and a wolf that had been injured in the fight remained inside the enclosure.
Seeing that the door was closed, the wolf king stared intently at Chen Yang, its fur standing on end, as if it were about to pounce.
Just then, a wooden arrow struck the wolf king in the waist. The wolf king howled and pounced on Chen Yang. Chen Yang dodged to the side because the wolf king was no longer as agile.
Ye Wu gripped the bow and smashed it directly onto the wolf king's head. The bow broke in two. The wolf king didn't die, but it lost its ability to move and lay on the ground convulsing.
The other wolf had long lost the will to fight and was cowering in the corner of the fence, trembling with fear.
Chen Yang glanced at the wolf, then silently opened the door and stepped back a short distance.
The wolf tentatively took a few steps, and after finding that Chen Yang and the others did not make any move, it quickly fled, following the tracks of the previous pack of wolves.
No one said anything about Chen Yang's decision to let the wolf go.
Fighting off wolves is for self-preservation, as is killing the wolf alpha, but to then hunt down another wolf would be pure slaughter. They now have enough meat and pelts; they don't need to kill another wolf.
The battle thus came to an end. Including the wolf that died inside the cabin, they had killed or wounded a total of seven wolves. Two of them were still alive, but severely injured.
For a long time to come, they won't have to worry about food, and the wolf pelts, if properly processed, can be made into warm clothing.
Although the battle was arduous, the gains were enormous.
But no one could laugh. The scene of the wolves howling was still imprinted in their minds, and the bloody scene before them was still stimulating their senses.
Chen Yang looked at the dying wolf king, squatted down in front of the wolf king, put his hands together and bowed gently.
"Alright, everyone, don't let this affect you. This is nature, the law of the jungle. We should be grateful to our prey and respect each one, but we are human, we have to be selfish, our own lives are the most important."
Chen Yang addressed everyone.
The men were actually okay, but the two girls were the most affected.
Especially for Li Su'er, the sense of glory from her successful shot had completely vanished, leaving only a slight sense of guilt. This was so different from the feeling of hunting chickens and rabbits.
Wang Bing and Guo Zifeng volunteered to handle the wolf carcasses and even had to finish off the wolves that weren't completely dead.
Ye Wu and Chen Yang temporarily withdrew from the Micro World with the two women.
In the lobby of the inn, the four of them were somewhat silent.
“I understand this is normal, no different from the chickens or rabbits I used to hunt, but I’m still a little sad.”
Li Su'er broke the silence and spoke.
Chen Yang nodded and said, "This proves that you are a kind girl. Wolves are intelligent creatures, and it's normal to feel guilty. If you can't accept it, you can be like Yining and not participate in hunting. You can still make great contributions. Look at us in the Micro World, if it weren't for Yining, how could we be living so well?"
Jiang Yining smiled and said, "Brother Yang, you know how to talk. You praised both of us with just one sentence."
Chen Yang smiled and said, "Because it's true."
"God of Wealth Yang, I'm not as fragile as you think. I'm not a saint. Come on, let's go to the Micro Realm. I want to eat meat. I'm hungry."
Li Su'er said loudly, and then entered the micro-world and fell asleep on the sofa.
Jiang Yining shook her head and went to the room to get a blanket to cover her up.
"You guys go back to your rooms, Su'er and I will sleep here."
Chen Yang nodded and went back to his room, while Ye Wu secretly gave Jiang Yining a look, and Jiang Yining gave him an OK sign.
In the micro-world, Guo Zifeng and Wang Bing gathered the wolf carcasses together to deal with them.
"I never imagined that I would have this kind of experience in my middle age. It feels like I've been reborn," Guo Zifeng sighed.
"We have to thank Chen Yang for this."
"Speaking of Chen Yang, this young man really has guts, which is unusual for someone his age. Are aliens more precocious?"
Wang Bing shrugged; he had no answer to the question either.
Guo Zifeng smiled and continued dealing with the wolf carcass.
His identity was very different from that of the others in the Micro Realm. Apart from him, everyone else was a member of the Micro Realm Inn. He, on the other hand, was the owner of a tea company.
Having reached his position, he had become accustomed to wielding power and being the central figure directing others. Yet, within the micro-world, Chen Yang remained the absolute center. Even Guo Zifeng had unconsciously begun to willingly await his commands, which was no small feat.
Chen Yang's thinking and way of speaking are very mature. He's not very tactful, but he sees things very clearly, a quality that even Guo Zifeng admires. Adding to this his identity as an alien and the master of the micro-realm, he even managed to influence a seasoned veteran like Guo Zifeng.
"This kind of life isn't bad," Guo Zifeng thought to himself.
He doesn't have to deal with a bunch of cunning old foxes every day, nor does he have to attend various banquets. He only needs to worry about how to eat and stay warm, and he can also do some pottery. Guo Zifeng likes this kind of life very much.
Moreover, he sees further ahead than anyone else.
As the number of people in the micro-world grows, all sorts of characters will gather here every night to live and develop together. What a terrifying social circle that will be!
Regardless of the changes in the number of people, this circle of relationships will always revolve around Chen Yang, who holds absolute power.
Guo Zifeng could already vaguely foresee what kind of person Chen Yang would become in the future.
"Brother Wang, Brother Guo, let me help you. Let's eat as much meat as we want tonight, and we'll smoke and store the rest."
Chen Yang and his group entered the micro-realm.
The fire was moved outdoors, and the flames inside the fireplace were extinguished, thus saving wood.
The group finished processing the seven wolves by dusk, cleaning all their fur, stretching them out to their maximum size, and tying them to the drying rack.
After nightfall, they would make the fire burn even brighter and sit around it to barbecue.
Even if they ate as much as they wanted, the group could only finish the meat of one wolf at most. The rest would be smoked into jerky and saved to eat slowly.
For the next period of time, they will no longer have to worry about food sources and can devote more time to construction and exploration, which may bring about a huge change to their micro-world life.
