Chapter 211 An unexpected discovery
Drogo’s character has always been straightforward and straightforward. The matter has been discussed clearly. It is only a little after noon, and it is still early before dark.
Given Drogo's personality, he certainly had no intention of staying in the village and doing nothing.
He immediately proposed to lead the team out to look for traces of the saber-toothed tiger.
When Zhou Xu heard this, he naturally had no reason to refuse.
"Okay, I'll get a team to go with you."
While speaking, Zhou Xu signaled Zhang Xiaoshan, who was accompanying him, to call Ye Jinghong over.
Ye Jinghong came very quickly, and after seeing him, Zhou Xu gave direct instructions.
"Jinghong, take a team of ten and go out with Drogo and the others to look for traces of the saber-toothed tiger. Come back before dark."
"yes!"
At the command, the ten-man team quickly assembled and got ready to go.
During this time, Drogo's gaze swept across the ten-man team led by Ye Jinghong, and then looked at Zhou Xu with some surprise.
"Is Zhou Chongshan not going?"
In Zhuogo's opinion, Zhou Chongshan is a good hand, and with him around, they have a better chance of success.
Faced with this question, Zhou Xu couldn't tell the whole truth...
"Chongshan has other things to do and is not here at the moment."
Hearing this, Drogo nodded and said nothing more.
The cavalry team set out quickly. In order to ensure that they could reunite at any time, Ye Jinghong and Zhuo Ge did not choose to act separately, but instead evacuated the mobile formation appropriately to improve their search efficiency.
Theoretically, in this snowy environment, the presence of the saber-toothed tiger should be quite conspicuous.
But they didn't know what was going on. After searching for a while, they couldn't find any trace of the saber-toothed tiger.
"Captain Drogo, do you have any clues?"
Compared with them, Ye Jinghong is definitely the most familiar with this grassland.
But compared with the Centaurs who have lived here all year round, they are nothing.
In response, Drogo didn't waste any words and directly said...
"Come on, I'll lead the way and we'll go check out a few places."
Any place where large beasts can hide and rest must have shelters around it. Relying on his familiarity with this grassland area, Drogo has already planned a search route in his mind.
The existence of mounts greatly improves their mobility efficiency, allowing them to search a larger area within a limited time.
Drogo led the way, and as soon as he arrived at the first place, he made a discovery.
"Look at the footprints. They look like those of a wolf."
I took a glance at the footprints on the snow. In this environment of snow-covered ground, the footprints can be seen clearly at a glance.
Drogo was not too surprised at the appearance of these footprints.
After all, the animals on the grassland are not stupid. In such an environment, they will naturally move towards places that can shelter them from the wind and snow.
"Go and have a look?"
In the past, Drogo would have definitely gone directly there, but this time they were acting together with Ye Jinghong and the others. Before doing anything, they naturally had to ask Ye Jinghong and the others what they thought.
"Go and have a look."
Without thinking too much, Ye Jinghong gave a positive answer.
He had an idea of the size of the wolf pack. The wolf king had been shot dead by Zhou Chongshan, and the wolf pack had also suffered heavy damage, so there was basically nothing to be afraid of.
If they hadn't encountered them, they wouldn't have had nothing better to do than to go out of their way to cause trouble for the wolves, but now that they had encountered them, there was no reason to take a detour, and it was a good opportunity to get some food.
The group approached quickly. The wolves had extremely sharp senses. It was impossible for a group of cavalrymen to move on the snow without making any noise. Soon, two vicious wolves appeared not far away.
The presence of Zhuogo and Ye Jinghong obviously made the two wolves nervous. The two wolves were keeping a distance from them, constantly baring their teeth at them and making intimidating growls.
But how could Zhuo Ge and Ye Jinghong be frightened by such a scene? If it was a pack of wolves before, they might still feel a little pressured, but now there are only two wolves, they don't care at all.
Ye Jinghong subconsciously cast an inquiring look at Drogo.
In response, Drogo's ears twitched twice. The Centaurs were born with stronger vision and hearing than humans.
Drogo concentrated his mind and used his hearing to detect movements around him, but for the time being he did not find any trace of other wolves.
"The wolf pack must have gone out hunting, and these two wolves stayed here to guard the den."
Having said this, Drogo looked thoughtful.
[Under normal circumstances, wolves will not leave their own kind to guard the nest. Basically, all wolves will come out of the nest, unless...]
As the thought flashed through his mind, Drogo moved quickly, drawing his bow and arrow and attacking the two wolves.
The two wolves were frightened and angry, and howled frequently as if they were calling their companions.
Unfortunately, the snow was endless and there was no trace of other wolves except for these two within the field of vision. The wolf pack was most likely to have gone far away.
Moreover, when the wolf pack goes out hunting, they sometimes stay away for several days and may not return on the same day, which makes Drogo even more reckless.
Given their strength, wouldn't it be easy to deal with the two wolves?
Without any effort, after quickly shooting and killing two vicious wolves, the group, led by Drogo, moved forward a distance and arrived at their destination this time.
"This is a small rock cave. It's covered by snow now, so you can't see it. Many animals on the grassland hide here."
As they were talking, the snow around them suddenly trembled twice. In the snow, little wolf cubs that looked only the size of a palm crawled out from the cave below, howling and trembling.
Perhaps it was the howling of the two wolves calling their companions that called out these little guys.
It looked like these wolf cubs were only two or three months old at most. At this moment, they probably didn’t even know what was happening.
Looking at the group of little guys coming out, a glimmer of understanding suddenly appeared in Drogo's eyes.
When there is a wolf guarding a den, there can only be one situation: there are wolf cubs in the den.
Drogo had no mercy on these little wolf cubs. In his eyes, they were all food.
However, just as he was about to take action, Ye Jinghong on the side hurriedly stopped him.
"Chief Drogo, please wait a moment!"
"What's wrong?"
Drogo stopped and gave Ye Jinghong a questioning look.
In this regard, Ye Jinghong did not hesitate and directly said...
"Can you let me take care of these little wolf cubs?"
Ye Jinghong's request made Zhuo Ge stunned, but he didn't hesitate.
"Can."
For Drogo, these little wolf cubs were not even enough to fill his teeth. At the moment when there was a grassland village willing to provide them with food, it didn't matter to Drogo whether to kill these little wolf cubs or not.
After all, wolf meat doesn’t taste good…
