30 Wilderness Survival
◎Murderous intent. ◎
The wolves are out.
Ye Zhizhi watched the wolves follow the wolf king's footsteps and quickly ran out of the cave with a murderous aura.
She had never seen the wolves like this before.
Even the wolf king who had deliberately frightened her at the beginning, his expression at that time was far less terrifying than it is now. Comparing the two, it can be seen that the wolf king at that time had no intention of killing her.
Even the usually kind wolf mother... It was the first time she saw the wolf mother with such a terrifying look in her eyes. The other adult wolves were the same. Their eyes were ferocious and bloodthirsty, and their fangs were exposed, as if they were about to rush to the battlefield and could tear the invaders to pieces in the next moment.
Ye Zhizhi was not afraid of such a pack of wolves, she was just very uneasy.
She couldn't help but look at the old wolf and the young wolf who stayed behind.
The old wolf had a serious and alert expression, but the four young wolves, Yinyi, Sanbai, and others, were rather unstable. They paced back and forth, their sharp claws occasionally showing from their pads, and amidst their nervousness, they were eager to try, like newborn calves that are not afraid of a tiger.
They longed to go out, but they were still underage and unqualified to participate in the conquest or defense of territory, so they could only stay behind. Those who could participate in these operations were generally mature wolves in their prime, possessing greater combat power and more combat experience.
The four little wolf cubs seemed to be frightened. They huddled together close to Ye Zhizhi, trembling and whimpering nervously.
Ye Zhizhi's small hands comforted the wolf cubs one by one, but her eyes were looking nervously towards the cave entrance. This was the first time Ye Zhizhi heard a wolf make such a sound, and she knew it was Uncle Scar's voice.
The changing weather and increasing humidity in the air all indicate that the rainy season is approaching.
The wolves stopped hunting and returned to their dens, which meant that the rainy season would begin at any time in the next two days.
During this period, Uncle Scar and Erzong's father were patrolling the territory outside, so what did Uncle Scar discover?
Just as I was thinking about it, there were a few more roars outside the cave.
Ye Zhizhi's heart skipped a beat. Could this really be an enemy attack? She tried to analyze the cry: a warning? Anger? An expulsion?
What is the other party? Is it trying to seize territory?
The old wolves' expressions became more serious, and two of them walked towards the cave entrance with their tails stretched out.
Another old wolf gathered the cubs behind a pile of towering rocks. Originally, they were in an open area on the plain, huddled together and paying attention to the movements outside the cave. Ye Zhizhi noticed the old wolf's intention and cooperated with him to lead the cubs over.
On the other side of the rock is the cave wall, with only two passages at the front and back.
When there are not many guarding wolves, this narrow place where you can attack or defend is the most suitable hiding place.
Ye Zhizhi and the little wolf cubs were crowded in the middle, while the old wolves and the young wolves were guarding each side.
And two old wolves were guarding the entrance... Seeing this situation, Ye Zhizhi felt more and more uneasy. The old wolves were on guard. Could there be an intruder sneaking in?
Does this mean that this opponent is difficult to deal with?
Ye Zhizhi had never seen any predator other than a wolf pack, but in her heart, the wolf pack, especially the wolf king, was very, very powerful, and they would definitely be able to drive away the invaders successfully!
Ye Zhizhi has confidence in the wolf pack, but the situation of the wolf pack outside the cave is not optimistic.
When Scar and Erzong were patrolling the wolf pack's territory, they keenly sensed that other wolves were approaching from outside the territory in Scar's direction. At first, Scar was just alert, but after discovering that they were coming towards their territory, he issued a warning.
But the wolves were not just passing by, they were coming with a purpose.
Scar immediately howled loudly, notifying his own tribe that there was an invader, and growled at the wolves to drive away as soon as possible.
When the wolf king arrived, a dozen tall and strong wolves were surrounding Scar.
Scar stood on the rock, his eyes sharp, his front legs lowered, his fangs and claws exposed, and a low, angry roar came from his throat.
The wolf king leaped into the air, his body as fast as lightning, and landed beside Scar in a blink of an eye, standing high above him.
Scar still maintained his attacking posture, crouching down and taking a few steps back.
The appearance of the wolf king made the approaching strange wolves stop in their tracks, with fear flashing in their eyes.
The wolf king's gaze was like a sharp blade, shooting straight to the back of the wolf pack. Soon, a big dark brown wolf, only the size of the little wolf king, walked out from behind the giant tree.
This is the leader of the wolf pack that has intruded into their territory.
It held its head high and stared directly at the Wolf King, its golden eyes full of provocation and fighting spirit.
Following the leader of the wolf pack, more and more wolves appeared. They came out from various directions, including the bushes, behind the vine walls, and beside the rocks.
This group is very large. At first glance, there are more than twenty adult wolves. A wolf pack of this size can be called a large group.
A wolf pack with such a large fighting force would normally occupy a wider and more fertile territory. If nothing unexpected happened, such a wolf pack would never appear in this barren place.
The wolf king narrowed his eyes slightly. He could see that some of the wolves in the pack still had scars on their bodies. He had not seen this pack of wolves when he was patrolling near the territory a few days ago. They must have just wandered here from the central area, but their stomachs were full, and it was obvious that they came prepared.
The rainy season is coming, and the wolf pack urgently needs a place to live, and the territory where they are the only one in this area was chosen.
There are territorial divisions between wolf packs, and it is rare for different packs to meet each other. However, it is not ruled out that some wolf packs will invade the territory of other wolf packs after losing their territory, or merge with other wolf packs for some reason.
The wolves in front of them showed no sign of having a good conversation. They bared their fangs from the very beginning and chose to invade.
The wolves behind the wolf king also rushed over and appeared behind the wolf king.
The silver wolf stood beside the wolf king and looked at the invader with cold eyes.
When the two sides confronted each other, the huge difference in numbers was obvious at a glance.
The number of the other wolf pack was three or four times theirs, but they were not afraid at all. Every wolf was fighting fiercely, with ferocious eyes. As long as the wolf king gave the order, they would pounce on the invaders and bite them.
This battle is inevitable.
The wolf king knew very well that to catch a thief, one must first catch the leader. He ran directly towards the other leader. However, the other leader knew that he could not defeat the wolf king in a one-on-one fight. Therefore, he called on the five most powerful wolves in the tribe to attack the wolf king together with him.
Our wolf pack was small in number, so they formed a circle and turned their backs to their own side.
A fight is going on.
Dozens of vicious wolves surrounded the eight wolves. The wolf king and the silver wolf were given special treatment and were besieged by four or five wolves at the same time.
The other wolves were also attacked by two or three wolves.
The wolf king's tribe was indeed very powerful. Even in the face of such an attack, they still held the upper hand and even injured many of the enemy wolves. They only suffered minor injuries themselves.
But if the war continued for too long, it would be disadvantageous to the wolf king. The wolf king kept watching the wolf leader, looking for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow. As long as the other side lost the leader, the invasion would naturally stop. But it never found a good opportunity. The wolf leader was insidious and cunning. He only let his men surround the wolf leader, hiding in the back and occasionally making sneak attacks.
Seeing that they could not take the enemy down after a long time, the leader growled from his throat. The wolves at the outermost edge of the battle circle heard the leader's voice, looked at each other, slowly left the battle circle, and went straight to the back of the wolf pack. The silver wolf realized their intention and howled angrily.
It rushed forward in an instant, bared its fangs, bit the wolf in front of it, and threw it away.
Just as the silver wolf was about to chase after it, two more wolves pounced on it and stopped it.
The wolf king naturally noticed the opponent's little movements. Its pair of oppressive animal eyes were filled with anger and murderous intent. It turned defense into offense, regardless of exposing flaws, and pounced straight at one of the wolves, baring its fangs and biting its neck quickly, fiercely and accurately.
Although it was slightly injured, it bit an invader to death.
And this is exactly what the other leader wants. He wants to constantly consume the wolf king so that he will have a chance to kill it!
At the leader's signal, two more wolves pounced forward.
As the wolf king dodged, he let out a few short roars from his throat. Silver Wolf and other wolves were tripped. When they heard the wolf king's voice, they instantly adjusted their battle strategies and the battle circle quickly moved towards the cave.
At this time, the sky became darker and darker, and the wind, which had been quiet for a long time, began to move, making the mountains and forests rustle.
The atmosphere in the cave became increasingly tense.
The two old wolves guarding the cave entrance noticed from afar that the scent of the strange wolf was getting closer and closer.
Their five senses have degenerated and their old bodies are gradually aging, but they have lived in the territory for so many years that they are very familiar with every tree and blade of grass here. Even if the other party can hide their breath, they can still feel something approaching the cave without using their sense of smell and hearing.
The old wolf howled in warning.
It was informing the tribe that there were invaders trying to attack the cave and asked them to return quickly.
The next moment, the approaching invaders rushed out from all directions and headed straight for the cave.
The old wolves' ambush did not have much effect. They were already old and could not defeat the adult wolves in their prime. They could only try to restrain one wolf each and could only watch the three vicious wolves rush into the cave.
The old wolf howled an angry warning.
The old and young wolves in the cave sensed a strange presence and were ready to attack.
The light in the cave began to dim, but Ye Zhizhi could still see clearly at this time.
Ye Zhizhi huddled together with the wolf cubs, holding one of them in her arms. She felt the almost frozen atmosphere in the cave, and her heart was pounding with nervousness.
Her senses kept shouting about unease and danger.
Sure enough, the two wolves that entered the cave noticed where they were, pounced on the young wolf and the old wolf, and quickly started biting each other.
Ye Zhizhi held the cub tighter as she looked left and right at the battle situation. The old wolf and the other wolf were having a hard time dealing with the adult wolves that saw the situation. Sanbai had already rushed over to help. On the other side, Yinyi led Erzhong and Xiaobai to deal with the evil wolves.
Although their fighting power is not strong enough, they can fight against an adult wolf together and are not at a disadvantage.
The two wolves that broke in were restrained by the old wolf and the young wolves respectively. Ye Zhizhi did not breathe a sigh of relief, and her spirit was still very tense.
She had no fangs or claws, was unarmed, and could only passively wait to be protected.
Just because they were out of danger for the time being didn't mean they would be alright later on. She had to keep an eye on the situation and be ready to run away with the wolf cubs at any time. Ye Zhizhi had no weapons to defend herself, which made her very uneasy.
We can't just sit there and wait for death!
Ye Zhizhi glanced at the ground and was about to pick up a stone, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the wooden stick she had thrown aside for making fire in the corner not far away.
For her, who is not very strong, a stick with a sharp end is more useful than a stone.
Ye Zhizhi let go of the little wolf in her arms and was about to rush over. The little wolf cub who was clinging to her side realized that she was leaving and subconsciously whimpered uneasily.
Ye Zhizhi cried out in comfort, and she went to pick up a weapon and would be back soon.
She rushed to the opposite side quickly, and just as she squatted down to pick up the stick, behind Ye Zhizhi, a dark gray strange wolf suddenly rushed out from behind where the old wolf, Sanbai and the invader were biting each other. The moment it pounced, it bared its fangs and bit straight at the little wolf cubs.
“Ouch—”
The child's tragic cries came to an abrupt end.
When Ye Zhizhi stood up, she subconsciously looked back. Her eyes widened instantly, her pupils trembled violently, and her eyes were blood red.
The young cub flew past her and hit the rock behind it with a heavy, dull sound.
Ye Zhizhi's mind went blank.
When her eyes focused again, she saw the wolf lunging towards her.
The wolf's ferocious fangs and huge body were reflected in Ye Zhizhi's pupils. She could see blood and flesh mixed in among the densely packed teeth.
She stared blankly at the wolf pouncing towards her throat. Ye Zhizhi knew in her heart that she had to dodge quickly, but facing the murderous intent of the top predator and the firmly locked aura, her blood ran cold and she was stiff and motionless.
The wolf's bloody mouth was so close that she seemed to smell the stench coming from its mouth.
In a flash, a silver figure flashed by and rushed straight up.
The young wolf, who has not yet grown up, appears small yet great in front of the adult wolf.
It’s Yinyi.
It pounced forward, trying to bite the wolf's neck with its tender sharp teeth.
The wolf subconsciously dodged, turned its head and bared its fangs to bite.
Yin Yi's reaction was very quick, but he only avoided a fatal injury and was bitten on a piece of flesh on his back.
“Ouch!!!”
The wolf therefore changed its target and pounced on Yin Yi, biting him hard.
Yin Yi howled in pain, struggling desperately to shake it off, but to no avail. The wolf's sharp claws dug into Yin Yi's flesh, its silver-white fur rapidly soaked with blood.
The wolf opened its bloody mouth again, this time aiming at Yin Yi's neck.
“Ouch!!!!”
Whoosh!
Boom!
A thick lightning bolt that illuminated half of the dark forest also illuminated the face of the little man who was riding on the head of the big bad wolf in the cave for a moment.
She lay on the wolf's head, her legs tightly clamped together, her left hand firmly grasping the wolf's ears, and her right hand holding a wooden stick, the other end of which was deeply inserted into the wolf's eyes.
She opened her scarlet eyes, the big, round eyes of a human cub, but with the ferocity of a wolf.
The earth-shaking thunder continued.
Heavy rain came one after another.
