246 Back to the Jungle
Their king has returned.
Ye Zhizhi did not stay in Da Mo's territory for long. She wandered around the territory with Xiaohua for a few days. After not finding any human threats and not picking up any human weapons, she prepared to leave.
She has been away from the wolf pack for many years, and this time she must go back to take a look.
However, after Ye Zhizhi expressed his desire to leave, Xiaohua did not hesitate to follow Ye Zhizhi, as if she had forgotten that she already had a partner.
Da Mo: “…”
Da Mo remained silent.
When Xiaohua followed Ye Zhizhi away without looking back, he followed silently.
Ye Zhizhi hissed, "Don't we have to guard such a large territory?"
Xiaohua raised her head high and hissed proudly. The scent of the snake would not dissipate for a while. It didn't matter even if it was taken away. They could just take it back.
Seeing this, Ye Zhizhi thought that she would go back the same way and pass by here together. If the place was occupied by other predators, she could also help. So she happily accepted the two more companions.
She also missed Xiaohua and Damo very much and wanted to spend more time with them. She was even happier that they could go the same way.
On the rest of the journey, Ye Zhizhi was not in a hurry to rush. He had the leisure to travel around and climb up to enjoy the scenery from time to time.
Ye Zhizhi still prefers the scenery of the jungle. It has a magical power that can calm the soul. She feels that her heart has been cleansed and becomes cleaner.
When they entered the central area, they also did not encounter any danger and avoided particularly dangerous places early on.
The wolves live in the central area. They often run out of it and have found many relatively safe paths. Even if a wolf goes in and out alone, there is not much danger.
Unless one is unlucky and happens to encounter a monster-level top predator hunting or a group of super small creatures, but unfortunately, Ye Zhizhi's luck has always been bad in the jungle.
They had just entered the central area when they felt a slight tremor. Although they were still far away, who knew if they would run towards this side? If they didn't run quickly, they might not be able to escape in the next moment.
One man, one wolf and two snakes ran madly, and the distance that had slowed down in front was shortened instantly. They even arrived two days earlier than the scheduled time.
After crossing a natural chasm, we soon saw the familiar mountains and forests.
Ye Zhizhi looked down at the wolf pack's hunting area from a high vantage point, his heart filled with excitement.
Seriously speaking, Ye Zhizhi didn't stay here for a long time, but this place means something different to her. In her heart, this is a paradise for the wolves, their utopia.
Ye Zhizhi was still sighing when Yin Yi suddenly started running. He ran towards the high cliff not far away, raised his head and let out a loud wolf howl.
“Ouch—woo—”
The passionate howling shook the entire forest. At that moment, the wolves lying, crawling, walking or playing in the jungle all raised their heads.
The quiet jungle suddenly shook, as if countless wolves emerged from all directions, shuttling between the mountains and rocks, and they all ran in one direction with one intention.
Ye Zhizhi's eyes flickered, and she suddenly turned her head to look at Yin Yi who was walking towards her.
Yin Yi was also looking at her, his golden animal eyes filled with an emotion that made Ye Zhizhi's eyes turn red in an instant.
When the man and the wolf looked at each other, countless wolves ran towards her. Finally, as if they were afraid of being home, they suddenly stopped at a distance. Countless pairs of wolf eyes raised and looked over.
Ye Zhizhi slowly turned his head, swept across the pairs of wolf eyes, and looked into their eyes.
A familiar smell, an unfamiliar smell...
Five years may not seem like a long time, but for the wolves, a lot has changed.
There were many new, unfamiliar members in the pack, still very young, born after she left. And among the youngest and strongest wolves, many had a familiar yet unfamiliar aura. A considerable number had been born and raised while she was still there, while there were also many wolves she knew to the core...
Ye Zhizhi glanced at the familiar wolves again, and the names burning in his heart were about to come out.
Silver red, second brown, third white, small white, silver and small gray...
Ye Zhizhi's eyes became more moist.
They didn't seem to have changed much, but she had become unrecognizable to the wolves.
When she left, she was still a sub-adult, but now, she is an adult.
The little wolf cub, who was once thought to never grow up in the eyes of the wolf pack, has now grown up.
The wolves formed a huge semicircle, with more wolves coming behind them.
Yin Fei, with red eyes and silver hair, stared at Ye Zhizhi without blinking.
Ye Zhizhi also looked closely at Yin Fei, whom she had raised. Yin Fei's claws seemed to want to move forward and get closer to her, but he could not take a step.
Ye Zhizhi took the first step. As soon as she moved, the huge silver body almost became a shadow and pounced straight towards Ye Zhizhi.
She opened her arms, hugged the giant wolf that pounced on her, and then faced the wolf's kiss.
Yin Fei kept licking, whimpering in his throat. He thought he would never see her again. Yin Fei, who was as big as his father, was now as aggrieved as an 800-pound baby.
Ye Zhizhi held the giant wolf in one hand and stroked its fur with the other, making soothing sounds.
Ye Zhizhi took the initiative to rub back, and the tears she had been holding back rolled down, wetting Yin Fei's hair. She also missed Yin Fei very much, this was the daughter she raised herself!
Yin glanced sideways, as if he couldn't stand the appearance of his wolf daughter, who was always arrogant and even wanted to fight with her father, Yin. He walked over and raised his paw to slap her.
Yin Fei's whimpering suddenly became louder, as if she had suffered a great injustice, and she cried to Ye Zhizhi to complain.
Auntie, Wolf Dad bullied me!
Ye Zhizhi glared at him. How could he bully his daughter? Ye Zhizhi hadn't seen Yin Fei for the first time in so many years. She was so dreadful at the moment that even the most important Yin Yi had to take a step back temporarily.
Yin Yi: "..." He lowered his head to look at his paws, then looked up at Ye Zhizhi, who was already whispering to comfort the wolf girl. His expression seemed to be in disbelief. He didn't use any strength! And -
Why would it be useful for the wolf cub to complain?
Yin Yi had a look of despair.
Ye Zhizhi also felt distressed immediately, but before she could comfort him,
Two brown and three white ones surrounded them, "Ah, ah, woo--"
Ye Zhizhi looked at the wolf heads that were crowding over, raised his hand and touched them one by one.
She was surrounded by heavy fur, and Ye Zhizhi felt a more real feeling at this moment.
She is back.
The unfamiliar wolves did not come close. They watched as the most powerful wolf in the tribe surrounded a strange-looking wolf very closely.
Is this the legendary king?
After Ye Zhizhi had an intimate moment with the wolves, he rode on Yinyi and rushed downhill towards the canyon.
Ye Zhizhi looked around carefully, without blinking, unwilling to miss any blade of grass or tree.
With such a large pack of wolves running in the mountains and forests, the nearby predators had already left, and Yin Yi, who was running in the front, had already run down the river bank and headed towards the canyon.
Ye Zhizhi turned his head and saw that the road winding along the cliff was still there, with lush vegetation. The stone road had now merged with the cliff, becoming a mountain road.
They ran to the end of the river bank. Ye Zhizhi turned around and saw the entrance to the canyon.
At the entrance of the canyon, more than ten wolves stood there, welcoming her arrival.
It’s Wolf Mom and Wolf Dad!
Not only them, but also Uncle Scar, Uncle Brokentail, and the two brown wolf father and mother...
When they were several meters away, Yin Yi slowed down, Ye Zhizhi quickly jumped down, ran towards the wolf mother, and pounced directly on her.
She couldn't control her tears.
After only a few years of not seeing them, she could tell at first sight that they were getting old.
The most powerful wolf father and wolf mother did not look very old, but it was obvious that they were not in as good condition as before. As for Uncle Scar and the others, anyone who took a look at them would think that they were old wolves.
Time is merciless to wolves.
Ye Zhizhi saw the changes over time in the wolf pack.
It’s not like she had never seen old wolves before, but those wolves were already old when she first arrived, so she didn’t have a deep impression of them.
But now, she actually saw with her own eyes that the wolf, who had once seemed so young and powerful to her, was now aging.
If she had always been by their side, watching them slowly change day by day, it might not have been so difficult to accept. But now, after four or five years, she saw them again, and they looked completely different from what she remembered.
Ye Zhizhi cried very anxiously and sadly.
The silver wolf licked away the tears on Ye Zhizhi's face and stared at Ye Zhizhi.
It seems that every time we meet again after separation, the kid will make a scene like this. He has obviously grown up, but he hasn't changed much since he was a child.
As the silver wolf licked, it took two steps back and lowered its head towards Ye Zhizhi in her tearful eyes.
Ye Zhizhi wiped her tears and looked over subconsciously.
This seemed to be a signal. Yin Yi, Wolf Dad, Yin Fei... they all lowered their heads to her and showed submission.
Ye Zhizhi's tears slowly stopped. She saw all the wolves she was familiar with lowering their heads to her, and the other young wolves also followed suit.
Yes, she remembered that before she left, she had not yet stepped down as the Wolf King and she was still a wolf of the tribe.
Yin Yi managed the wolf pack as the second leader. After he left the pack, he was managed by Yin Fei, who had grown up.
The father and daughter took charge of the wolf pack in her absence, but she was the king of the pack.
The reason why she has never been usurped is that the highest-ranking backbone of the tribe, such as Silver One, Silver Crimson, and Two Brown wolves, are all her familiar and close companions. They still support her status and regard her as the wolf king of the tribe, even though she has been away for five years.
At that moment, Ye Zhizhi's eyes changed.
She stepped onto the high rocks of the canyon in two or three steps, raised her head, and issued a majestic declaration:
“Ouch—woo—”
The powerful wolf howl could be heard from far away, and all the predators in the same area heard it. The wolf king who had been away for a long time appeared again.
Countless wolves looked up at her, their eyes devout and full of excitement and joy.
Their king is back!
