The battle ended quickly; the five wolves posed little threat to the four large creatures.
Mastiff King Sengge has led the Tibetan mastiffs in his territory to fight against the grassland wolves more than once on the grassland.
Those packs of grassland wolves numbered in the dozens or more, and their fighting ability was stronger than that of wild wolves.
Sengge had no trouble dealing with wolves like those, let alone this kind of guy.
However, the wolf had fallen, but the real boss had just emerged. After being released, the adult male black bear stood still in place.
The black bear was assessing its surroundings, but the hunting dogs had already spotted it.
Whether it's Ah Huang, the Demon King, or the Mastiff King Sengge, they're all familiar with this kind of guy.
They greeted each other, a rare occurrence, and then moved in unison, surrounding the black bear.
They had all fought black bears before and knew the strength these creatures possessed.
Although each of them could take down this guy individually, it would require a great deal of risk and effort.
Things are different now; they've gotten used to having other helpers when they fight in this yard.
The several battles over two days gave them a general understanding of each other's fighting abilities, realizing that none of them were significantly weaker or stronger than the others.
Their strengths are very close, and they are evenly matched.
The Demon King launched the first attack. It was a calm and collected, cold-blooded killer, and as soon as it moved, Ah Huang immediately followed.
It really likes this kind of fighting style. In this life-or-death battle arena, Ah Huang doesn't have much heroism. As long as it can defeat its opponent decisively, the easier the better.
With these three other helpers around, Ah Huang felt an unprecedented sense of ease.
Although they had fought alongside Dogo Argentino and Rakshasa in the past, and although they were all large dogs, their strength was still somewhat inferior to that of the Demon King, Sengge, and Asura.
They might be better fighting dogs in the arena, but they are not pure hunting dogs.
Although the four men were no longer hostile, they were not to be outdone in the fight.
The ferocious attack was too much for even a powerful black bear to handle. Enraged, the black bear roared incessantly, but it still couldn't shake off the siege of these four giants.
It couldn't even escape; the hunting dogs were several times faster than it.
The outcome of the battle was a foregone conclusion, but Xu Jiaming and the others were even more delighted to see the tacit cooperation among the hunting dogs, which seemed to make their path into the mountains clearer.
With such formidable fighting power as a guarantee, even if they encountered the true king of the South China forests, the South China tiger, they probably wouldn't be much less formidable.
However, it's just a thought.
As level-headed hunters, they understood that when faced with a true king of beasts like the South China tiger, these four would still have no choice but to run away.
The true king of the forest cannot be challenged by a few fierce dogs; the four-to-one battle remains a foregone conclusion.
There is still a huge gap between canines and large felines.
The bloodline suppression of the King of the Jungle is not an insurmountable chasm.
………………
After settling the dogs in, Liao Bin and the others finally began to plan their journey into the mountains in detail.
Under his arrangement, all the supplies for the mountain expedition have been delivered, including tents for the wilderness campsite and everything else needed for camping and adventure.
In addition to these supplies, Liao Bin also prepared three double-barreled shotguns and two pistols.
These are firearms that must be carried on one's person just in case.
Liao Bin had already made arrangements for the people going into the mountains. He, Cao Yang, Xu Jiaming, Lao Fu who was looking for the dog, and two young men who had just arrived were all included.
The two men, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, were transferred by Xu Jiaming. They had a calm demeanor and a stern expression. Since arriving here, they had not spoken much and seemed to follow Xu Jiaming's arrangements in everything.
Liao Bin simply smiled at the two people who suddenly appeared and didn't say anything more.
As a son of a high-ranking official himself, he naturally understood where these two people who suddenly appeared came from and what their purpose was in coming here.
The addition of these two guys is a great thing for Liao Bin. With their help, the safety level in the wild can definitely be raised to another level.
With everything prepared, on the morning of the third day, the group of eight people, along with four fierce dogs and seven small beagle dogs, finally embarked on the long-awaited adventure.
Starting from Muyu Town, you need to pass the Shennong Altar at the town entrance, and then take a stone staircase path opposite the Altar of Heaven directly into the foothills.
To prevent the dogs from running amok and becoming difficult to control, all four dogs were leashed and kept close to the handlers.
The seven beagle dogs remained free, scouting ahead of the enemy.
As soon as they entered the mountains, Xu Jiaming and the others immediately felt a chill.
Even though it's a sunny day and it's already early spring outside, the temperature in the foothills is still much lower than outside.
Fortunately, Liao Bin had made preparations for this situation, and everyone had brought enough clothes.
"I've heard about Shennongjia for decades, but this is my first time entering. It is indeed a beautiful place."
Upon entering the mountains, the group didn't rush. Xu Jiaming walked along, admiring the scenery and sighing with admiration.
The view from the foot of the mountain where he was standing was superb. Surrounded by mountains and lush trees, waterfalls cascaded down the cliffs, splashing like jade beads, and the pool was crystal clear with strangely shaped rocks in all sorts of forms.
"It is indeed a good place."
Chen Chongshan nodded in agreement, saying that although he thought the scenery of Lianshan Bay was also excellent, it lacked the grandeur of this place.
The group moved slowly forward, and because this place was too close to Muyu Town, there weren't many wild animals around.
Under Lao Fu's control, the hunting dogs did not stray far from the group. Along the way, they only found a few small wild animals such as pheasants and rabbits, which Liao Bin and the others ignored.
They came into the mountains to explore, not to hunt.
Only when they reached halfway up the mountain did the hunting dogs at the front begin to bark loudly.
The crowd quickened their pace and followed, only to find a group of macaques leaping from treetop to treetop, baring their teeth and making retaliatory gestures towards the pack of dogs below.
"I never expected to encounter wild men just a few hours after entering the mountains."
Upon seeing the group of macaques, Xu Jiaming couldn't help but joke.
"If this can be considered a savage, then there's nothing special about savages."
Liao Bin smiled and then continued, "Let's speed up a bit. This is still the outer edge of Shennongjia. It's about a two-hour walk from here to a small village. We'll stay there tonight and only start truly entering the mountains tomorrow."
"Okay, let's go."
Xu Jiaming was also in high spirits at the moment, and nodded with a smile in agreement.
Although the mountain paths were winding and secluded, these people were not pampered young masters. On the contrary, they often roamed the mountains because they liked dogs, so these forest trails were not difficult for them.
