"No way. You're mocking my lack of stamina now, you're obviously trying to stir up trouble. Just you wait, I'll work hard to improve my endurance when we get back, and next time we climb a mountain, we'll see who climbs faster in the end."
Why are you still acting like a child, acting impulsively?
"So, are you going to bet or not?"
"Alright, since you're going to play this kind of game that you're bound to lose, then I can't refuse. Come on then, I'll give you three months to catch up. Do you think that's enough? If not, I can extend it to a year, or even three years."
"It won't take three years, just three months. After three months, we'll run from the foot of the mountain to the training grounds and see who wins and who loses!"
"No problem, I'm just afraid you'll be resentful when I kill you."
"It's too early to say who will win or lose."
Cui Wanshan walked over and put the things that Wang Tianxin had been carrying on his back on his own.
"puff!"
Cui Wanshan planted his spear in the ground in front of Wang Tianxin, and then gave two finished blades to Liu Yuan and Wang Tianxin respectively.
Both he and Wang Tianxiao had guns, so theoretically it would be difficult for the bear to get close to them. But if something went wrong, they could use their knives to intercept the bear and prevent it from getting near them.
These two swords were originally intended by Cui Wanshan for his own King Tianxiao. However, two more companions arrived, so he had no choice but to temporarily give them the swords, at least for self-defense.
"Get up, Tianxin, let's continue on our way," Wang Tianxin called out.
"good!"
Wang Tianxin sprang to his feet, but almost slipped because of the snow on the ground.
Wang Tianxin now only trusts Wang Tianxiao. Despite his bickering with Wang Tianxiao, he is actually quite serious and won't argue with his second brother.
If my second brother thinks it's wrong, then it must be wrong.
If I could have come to terms with it back then, that would have been for the best.
If I don't agree with what my second brother says, I won't fall out with him. Instead, I'll figure it out myself, let the facts speak for themselves, and see who has the problem.
However, after careful consideration, it seems that what my second brother said was not wrong. On the contrary, the unorthodox methods I came up with could not withstand scrutiny.
Therefore, his second brother is now his most steadfast supporter. He either lets any words spoken to him go in one ear and out the other, or he simply doesn't take them seriously.
It doesn't matter anyway.
Despite his tendency to seek advice from many people, he doesn't actually think highly of anyone.
Because he had a brilliant second brother like Wang Tianxiao as a role model, he didn't care about anyone else.
Whenever he sees someone with some ability, he thinks, "Is this person as capable as my second brother? It seems not. What kind of capable person is he? He's not worth mentioning at all."
With the weight of the package shared, Wang Tianxin felt much more relaxed.
Just as he was about to stretch his legs and speed up his advance, Wang Tianxiao called out to him, telling him to keep his pace as steady as possible and not to sway from side to side, as this would consume his energy and cause him to exhaust himself prematurely.
He then imitated the others, trying to keep his body swaying as minimally as possible, always moving forward.
After walking a short distance, it seemed that I hadn't used much strength at all, and it felt quite easy.
As they were walking, Cui Wanshan suddenly said to Wang Tianxiao, "Old Wang, nine o'clock."
At first glance, Wang Tianxiao didn't notice, but upon closer inspection, he realized that there were two snow wolves standing in the snow.
Their fur was either grayish-white or covered with snowflakes, making it difficult to discern.
They stood side by side, silently watching this side, without making any movement or calling out to their companion.
"Brother, what are you looking at?"
"It should be a snow wolf."
Where? Where?
"Didn't I say it was at nine o'clock? Can't you see it?"
Which direction is nine o'clock?
Wang Tianxiao suddenly remembered that his younger brother had never handled a mechanical watch before, so he didn't know what the hands meant.
"That's the direction, look carefully."
"Where... Oh, I really saw them, there are two, right?"
“Hmm, I’ve only seen two so far,” Wang Tianxiao squinted, glanced at the wolves again, and noticed that they were moving side by side. He said, “They should be a pair of wolves, one male and one female.”
How did you tell that one was male and the other female?
"By observing their posture, you can see that the two wolves are standing side by side. Wolves are a very hierarchical species, and their wolf king has a high degree of prestige. Once a wolf king becomes the wolf king, he certainly will not allow any other wolf to stand alongside him."
Generally, once a alpha wolf appears in a pack, the other male wolves must establish a hierarchy with the alpha wolf. Even when traveling, a male wolf should not be allowed to stand in a position that is not alpha.
In this situation, it's only possible that one animal is male and the other female.
"They are probably lone wolves that haven't formed a pack yet, so there's no need to worry about them."
Cui Wanshan said.
"That should be true. The number of wolves that have appeared is more than that. So, it turns out that the appearance of snow wolves on the West Peak of Yangziling was not an accident. I don't know when snow wolves appeared in Mengbaling."
"It's just that some people have too much free time." Cui Wanshan turned his head away from the two wolves. "Some people always want to try introducing species from other places into Ziwu Ridge to see if they can adapt to the environment. Take the great bustard for example. It's not originally from our habitat, but some people still brought it over. Well, all of them died."
Wang Tianxiao recalled the great bustard that Liu Jun had brought back from the station, and he felt a deep sense of empathy.
Unlike humans' tenacious survival ability, organisms in nature are less adaptable to their environment.
