The next day, the hunting team saw the wolves in the bighorn deer area.
Yesterday it was far away and I couldn't see it clearly. Today, everyone carefully observed those wolves.
The wolves of this pack don't look much different, but they are bigger than the wolves of the previous pack, and their coats are also different. The fur on these wolves is patterned, with some darker spots near the back.
After coming to the forest, Shao Xuan had seen many wolves with different coat colors, and according to what Mai and the others said, there were some special groups whose patterns were the symbol of their group. If the patterns were different, it might be an alien wolf, not the original of this group.
Shao Xuan had never seen this wolf pack before, but Shao Xuan had never seen it, which did not mean that Mai and the others had never seen it.
"Why do I think this pack of wolves is familiar?" said a warrior.
"I also think that this pattern has been seen before."
"We encountered them before when we were hunting a cave bear along the edge of the hunting route," recalled Mai.
At the beginning, they encountered a huge cave bear. The cave bear was wounded and seemed to have had a battle with other beasts. Mai and a few people took the opportunity to kill them.
But even if the cave bear was injured, it was difficult to deal with. The hunting team chased after it for a long time, and they were almost out of the hunting route before they hunted it down. At that time, it happened to be a war between wolves. One wolf group slaughtered another wolf group. It was a real brutal slaughter. The ground was covered in blood, and the scavengers of the sky kept circling.
After Mai led the hunting team to kill the cave bear, the slaughter battle was over, and only a few wolves were still hanging around, biting the wolf carcasses on the ground. When the people of the hunting team appeared, they were already full, and there were wounded in the wolves. They didn't want to deal with the people of the hunting team, so the leader of the wolf group left with the wolves.
And Lang Ga was also there, picking up Caesar, who was still a cub at the time.
Caesar was the only surviving wolf in the wolf pack that was completely slaughtered. Probably because he was having fun at the time, he walked a little further. There was a steep slope not far from the wolf's den, and he rolled down the slope. The wolves guarding the den at that time may have noticed that other wolves appeared, and they were just vigilant and did not pay attention to Caesar until the end of the massacre.
When Mai brought people over, Caesar, who rolled down the slope and lay under a stone, just woke up from a coma, and kept screaming, so that Lang Ga found it, otherwise, if it didn't make a sound, there would be a stone blocking it. , surrounded by tall grass, or under a steep slope, no one will notice it. Fortunately, none of the other wolves were looking for the smell of their cubs on the edge of the steep slope.
"I remember that when Caesar was picked up, it was so big." Lang Ga raised his hand to compare, "It still wants to bite me with its teeth that are not even."
Thinking back to what happened at the beginning, Lang Ga and the others couldn't help laughing. The Caesar of that year was indeed not a big one, but soon, everyone's heart sank. Obviously, with Mai and Lang Ga, the person who had seen the massacre was uncomfortable.
It is not sentimental. As a warrior who has been hunting in this forest for many years, I have seen many such beast wars. Moreover, as a hunting warrior, who has not killed wild beasts and beasts? Can the soft-hearted survive here? impossible.
The reason why they were uncomfortable was that when they thought of that scene, they knew how cruel the style of the wolf pack was, and it could even be regarded as torture.
"Unless you kill them all, don't mess with those guys, especially the few of you." Mai looked at the new recruits and said.
Everyone nodded quickly.
The hunting team has a newcomer this year, and as a newcomer, it is always easy to get the attention of the carnivorous beasts and beasts in the forest. They love to take advantage of the weak.
They have to experience what Shao Xuan has experienced.
"Axuan, look closely at Caesar." Mai whispered to Shao Xuan.
"I know." Shao Xuan also had the same idea.
After that, when hunting, Shao Xuan kept paying attention to Caesar, and he felt relieved when he saw that Caesar was still the same as usual, and nothing was out of the ordinary.
After hunting down a giant-clawed beast, several people in the team were dealing with the prey. Lang Ga checked the surrounding traps and asked Shao Xuan to help him fix it. The auxiliary role of traps cannot be ignored.
Seeing Caesar lying not far away, Shao Xuancai walked over to help Lang Ga repair the trap.
"Lang Ga, when you picked up Caesar, did he see the horror of the wolves?" Shao Xuan asked.
Lang Ga thought about it carefully, "Look, I picked it up from the downhill and put it on the ground. It smelled everywhere, barked as it smelled, and paid attention to the two spotted wolves that were left there. When the corpse bites down, it can't even bite through the wolf's skin with its small teeth that are not even."
After slaughtering one wolf group, the other wolf group was not completely lost. They lost two, but compared to the tragic situation where Caesar and the other wolves were almost wiped out, it was nothing.
"The wolves with the spotted fur are very strong. Compared with other wolves, they have a stronger bite force and are ferocious by nature. They often slaughter other wolves and attack other groups." Seeing Shao Xuan frowning, Lang Ga smiled and said, "Aren't you worried about Caesar taking revenge? It was a little older then? Impossible."
Saying that, Lang Ga looked up at Caesar, who was not far away. Seeing that he was looking at this side, Lang Ga lowered his head and continued to mend the trap.
Every time when the trap was repaired, Caesar would lie down not far away, watching Lang Ga and Shao Xuan repair the trap.
"I didn't expect you to keep it, and I planned to cook soup for you." When he thought that Caesar was almost boiled at that time, Lang Ga couldn't help but feel joy and emotion.
Shao Xuan was listening to Lang Ga recount what he had seen when he suddenly heard an exclamation.
"alert!"
"Everyone pay attention!"
"It's a pack of wolves!"
Shao Xuan stood up suddenly and looked around.
Caesar, who was lying there just now, has disappeared.
Mai nervously watched the movements of the wolves. The wolves had already formed a siege, but soon, Mai found that Caesar rushed out, and instead of fighting directly, he bit the one on the far side. After the wolf took a bite, it ran away.
Mai could feel that the wolves originally wanted to raid them, and the target was not Caesar, but just after seeing Caesar, the wolves hesitated for a while, and then under the call of the alpha wolf, they shifted their target and chased Caesar.
When hunting, Caesar will also help attract the attention of the prey, but that is all planned, and the prey is not such a threatening wolf group, how could Caesar suddenly rush out
"Axuan, quickly call Caesar back..." Mai quickly swept around, but did not see Shao Xuan's figure, his face turned green, "Where's Axuan?!"
Lang Ga jumped out of the tall grass, panting, "I didn't catch anyone."
When he saw Shao Xuan leave just now, he immediately chased after him. He wanted to stop him, but he was dumped before he ran too far. He couldn't even find a person, so he had to come back first.
"That kid... The speed is too fast!" Lang Ga never thought that he has now been promoted to an intermediate totem warrior, and he is usually fast in the team. Who would have thought that he would lose someone so fast!
Mai took a deep breath, then looked at a few young warriors, "You guys go back to the cave first! Qiao, take them away!"
After he finished speaking, Mai led a few soldiers into the woods and went to the direction pointed by Lang Ga.
On the other side, Shao Xuan followed the traces on the ground.
Caesar probably discovered the movement of the wolves before Mai, and the action was very fast. Perhaps, it had been waiting for an opportunity, otherwise it would not have rushed out so decisively just now.
After all, he acted late for a while, and now Shao Xuan can't see the wolf pack at all, and can only follow the traces on the ground and around.
I didn't usually see it, but now I found out that these wolves are really fast.
Shao Xuan was worried that Caesar had little chance of winning against the wolf pack, and the chance of escaping was not high.
Lang Ga said that Caesar did not hold grudges, but Shao Xuan believed that Caesar remembered it. As for how much he remembered, Shao Xuan did not know.
Chasing and chasing, Shao Xuan looked at the direction the wolves were running, thinking in his heart.
In the section between the first stronghold and the second stronghold, in a remote area with a backing mountain, there are usually not many beasts going there, but there, Lang Ga and Shao Xuan set up a trap belt together.
There may be some troubles when hunting, and these traps in remote areas are designed to deal with such situations, in case of emergency. If they encounter some difficult beasts or beasts, the people of the hunting team will run to the trap area, so that those traps will cause certain obstacles to the beasts, so that the hunters can get more time to escape.
In the past, it was mainly set by Lang Ga. Later, when it was repaired, Shao Xuan and Lang Ga studied it together and improved a few things. Because it is to guard against beasts, it naturally has the ability to kill or even kill when it is set up.
These trap belts have to be checked every time they are hunted. This time, I came to see them on the first day of my visit. Caesar watched them mend them.
Wherever the wolves passed, many beasts avoided them, and some fierce beasts avoided their sharp edges for fear of causing trouble. This also made it easier for Shao Xuan to catch up.
There were screams in the direction of the trap belt.
Shao Xuan accelerated again.
When Shao Xuan arrived at the trap zone, what he saw was a sunken pit with ground thorns and a wolf lying in it.
The ground thorns inside did not pierce it, but as it struggled, the ground thorns got deeper and deeper, and the blood flowed more and more. As it stabs deep into the ground, its struggling movements will become weaker and weaker. If no one gets it out, it will die in a short time. Shao Xuan ignored it and passed by.
Not far from the pit, a wolf was draped around his neck and hung in the air. The more he struggled, the tighter the rope became. This kind of grass rope is also specially soaked with animal blood and grass juice, and it is very strong. The wolf hanging in the air could only struggle. It wanted to bite off the rope, but it failed again and again. When Shao Xuan saw it, its neck was already deformed.
When Shao Xuan passed from this side, he gave it a knife, and the wolf hanging in the air stopped moving.
Not only pits, nooses, but also a series of traps such as nets and knife piles. Every once in a while, Shao Xuan could see a wolf that was dead or still struggling, with spots on their backs. .
Shao Xuan chased him all the way, made up his sword all the way, and threw the spearhead dart or stone needle if he didn't have time to take care of it.
