34 Wilderness Survival
◎The moment they have been waiting for has arrived.◎
The wolf pack has a new member.
These are three adult wolves, but they look very miserable, with dull fur and bony bodies. Compared with other wolves in the pack, they seem malnourished, which shows that they did not have a good life before.
Ye Zhizhi could see that these were three lone wolves, and he didn't know where the Wolf King father found them.
Ye Zhizhi didn't understand either. Their wolf pack was already having trouble surviving, so why did the wolf king father want the wolves to join the tribe?
She didn't reject it, she just didn't understand.
In the cave, the three wolves sniffed each wolf in the pack one by one, and sniffed each other's scent.
Even Ye Zhizhi was sniffed by the new members, and Ye Zhizhi also remembered their scent.
After that, the three wolves officially joined the wolf pack.
Ye Zhizhi was rarely curious and observed silently for a while.
She guessed that there should be two male wolves and one female wolf. The female wolf and one of the male wolves had very similar hair, both were dark brown, with not much other colors on their bodies, only the belly was gray and white. They should be siblings, while the other male wolf had black hair and should be the female wolf's partner.
There were no black wolves in the tribe, so Ye Zhizhi took a closer look.
Perhaps because they were still unfamiliar, Ye Zhizhi didn't have much affection for these three wolves. Compared to the original wolf, there was a certain degree of closeness and distance...
Ye Zhizhi did not accept all the wolves in the tribe at the beginning. The feelings were gradually developed through daily interactions.
Ye Zhizhi thought of the wolf that had left, and his eyes dimmed.
The next morning, the Wolf King led the new members and the wolves whose wounds were almost healed out, leaving only Uncle Duanwei, Yinyi, the old wolf and her in the cave.
The three wolf cubs also got the opportunity to act with the adult wolves.
Yin Yi was very envious and wanted to go out too, but his wounds were not completely healed yet, so he was also among those who stayed behind.
Silver Wolf's wound had just healed, so he followed him out.
Before leaving, the silver wolf rubbed Ye Zhizhi, as if to convey the message that they would be back as soon as possible.
Ye Zhizhi didn't mind the wolves going out. She didn't want to be a burden to them. It didn't matter if they came back very late. She would take good care of herself.
She is no longer the person who could do nothing last year.
Even if she had to drink rainwater from outside, she could survive for seven or eight days. If all else failed, she could still gnaw on the vines and leaves outside the cave. As long as the poison didn't kill her, she could eat it.
She just didn't want the wolf mother to go out this time because her injury hadn't healed yet!
Ye Zhizhi hugged Wolf Mother's thighs and whimpered for a while, but still failed to stop Wolf Mother from going out.
After the wolves left, Ye Zhizhi felt depressed for a while. She couldn't help but think again that it would be great if she could also go out hunting with the wolves.
Ye Zhizhi looked at the cave whose bottom could be seen at a glance, and she had a premonition that she would not survive this winter.
This cave is even less warm than their original nest.
She could feel the cool chill in the cave now.
In winter, the temperature in the cave is probably not much different from that outside. I'm afraid that even with the wolves' thick fur to keep her warm, she won't be able to survive.
Ye Zhizhi didn't think about this for the time being.
She was more worried about the wolves.
Although the wolves' wounds have scabbed over, the injuries were so severe that they have to go out in the rain after only a month of recuperation. What if there are any sequelae?
This time the wolves have come out in full force. I hope everything goes well and no one gets hurt again.
This time the wolf pack was indeed quite successful. While searching for the lone wolf, the wolf king found a group of wild goats taking shelter under rocks.
It did not alarm the herd of wild goats, but memorized the location and left quietly.
Then wait for the right opportunity, lead the wolves over, and capture as many prey as possible.
The location of the wild goats is not particularly far from the cave. If they run to their destination, they can reach the destination in more than a day. If it were not for the heavy rain, which made the road more difficult to walk, they would only need most of the day.
Heavy rain washes away the scent of prey, making it more difficult to find prey, and it is common to return empty-handed.
But God did not destroy this pack of wolves. The wolf king found a herd of wild goats!
When hunting large prey, wolves usually only hunt one, which is enough to fill their stomachs and then stop.
This time, they needed as much food as possible, so they adjusted their strategy.
The Wolf King, Silver Wolf and Scar rushed directly into the herd of wild goats from three directions and quickly bit the wild goats to death or injured them, while the other wolves surrounded them and tried their best to prevent the wild goats from escaping.
When the wild goats that ran out saw that there were wolves outside, they would subconsciously turn back and run.
By the time the wild goats reacted and rushed out, the wolves had already hunted enough prey.
Many wild goats were still dying, and several were even injured by being trampled by the wild goats themselves.
Heavy rain washed away the massacre.
The wolves chose two dead wild goats under the rocks to fill their stomachs first, and then dragged the prey back.
They carry their prey on their backs.
Scar was unlucky this time as he walked back in the heavy rain. He was accidentally hit by a loose rock that rolled down.
Finally, the prey on its back was placed on the back of the wolf king, and Scar limped back with the wolf pack. This big harvest meant that the wolf pack didn't have to go out hunting for nearly a month.
The journey back took them longer, and all the wolves were in a very bad state, but it was all worth it.
Ye Zhizhi was stunned when he saw that every wolf was carrying a wild goat back, and some even carried more than one. Did they destroy the goat's den?
Ye Zhizhi counted them and found that twelve wolves had gone out and brought back nineteen goats, and each wolf had eaten its fill. Even if they ate a goat every other day, they could still eat for more than a month!
Ye Zhizhi looked at the goats piled together. Many of them were even making faint bleating sounds, indicating that they were not dead yet.
In Ye Zhizhi's eyes, these were all food, so she naturally had no sympathy for them. She even thought that it would be better if the wild goats that had not died could hold on a little longer so that the wolves could eat fresher meat.
The wolves no longer came out, and Ye Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at the tired expressions of the wolf king father and wolf mother, and couldn't help but pinch their paws as if they were humans to relax their muscles.
The wolves in the cave fell silent again.
Ye Zhizhi saw that the wolf king father and wolf mother ate a lot and rested in the first five days, while the other wolves ate small amounts and waited until the food went bad before eating. Their eating rhythm was one meal every three days.
In the second half, the wolves ate like crazy.
The adult wolves looked more agile, their eyes more profound, while the young wolves were larger, already approaching adulthood.
The three new wolves became visibly fuller in size.
After more than a month of recuperation, the injuries of the Wolf King and Silver Wolf were almost healed.
They all seem to be in full strength, waiting for something to happen.
Ye Zhizhi found that he could not quite understand the wolves and always felt that they were planning something.
Ye Zhizhi could only think that they were trying hard to heal their wounds and recover their physical condition in order to wait for the rainy season to end before hunting?
Ye Zhizhi pondered for a moment and felt that he should indeed be well prepared, as the environment in winter is even worse than the rainy season.
In the second night of the second day, Ye Zhizhi was awakened by the movement of wolves.
It was still dark, and a faint light shone through from outside the cave.
She saw the wolves all stood up. In the darkness, pairs of shining wolf eyes shone with cold green light, all looking towards the cave entrance.
Ye Zhizhi heard that the heavy rain outside turned into a drizzle, and then the noise gradually became quieter.
The rain has stopped.
At that moment, the wolves' eyes seemed to ignite green flames.
The moment they have been waiting for has arrived.
In a flash, Ye Zhizhi suddenly grasped a clue.
Her eyes suddenly widened.
