Xu Chen felt a burst of white sweat soaking his back. The excitement brought by the delicious fruit was instantly wiped away, replaced by an incomparable fear.
The wild wolf is not small and is obviously an adult. For these three uninvited guests who suddenly broke into the territory, its blood-red eyes are full of ferocity and hatred. It opens its big mouth to reveal sharp fangs, and you can even see drool dripping from it.
The answer fell down.
"Chen Ga...run..."
Gu pounced on the bow and arrow thrown into the grass.
When he realized what he was doing, he bent down and picked up a stone and threw it at the wild wolf.
"Ouch~~"
The wild wolf nimbly avoided the stone and roared at the three people.
Although Xu Chen was so frightened that his legs trembled, he did not run away.
Because the terrain in the valley is complex, there are large and small rocks everywhere, and there is no road at all. In this environment, there is no way to outrun the wolf.
However, when he saw Gu holding the bow and arrow in his hand, the wild wolf seemed to be frightened and slowly began to retreat.
"Hey~"
In panic, Gu shot an arrow. Although the distance was only twenty meters, it missed by two or three meters and shot into the grass.
The wild wolf turned around and burrowed into the crevices of the thorns and rocks.
"call!"
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time, and Xu Chen and Ju quickly grabbed their bows and arrows from the past.
With the weapons in hand, the three of them made a mental decision, quickly put their backpacks on their backs and searched around for signs of the wolf, and then quickly fled out of the valley.
"Ouch~~"
"Aww~~Aww~~"
Watching the three people escaping, the wild wolf seemed to be howling incessantly like a demonstration. However, the howls varied in size, and one or two of them seemed to have a milky sound.
If Xu Chen suddenly comes, he must stop at his feet.
"Run Ga!"
Gu and Ju shivered in fright, grabbed Xu Chen's arm and dragged him away.
"Don't worry, there is only one wolf here, one... one... one wolf..."
Xu Chen was dragged by the two men and ran for another seven or eight steps, shouting loudly.
Gu Heju finally understood and stopped together.
"Yiga?" Gu raised a finger.
"Quick, quack, mother!" Xu Chen nodded quickly.
This was originally the lair of a pack of wild wolves.
However, after the alpha wolf was killed last time, Feng led several hunters into the valley and directly killed a litter of wolf cubs.
I haven't seen any trace of wolves at the foot of the mountain in the past month or so.
Everyone thought that the wolves had long since fled away.
But the one in front of them has obviously slipped through the net, and it has been half an hour since the three people entered the canyon. If there were other wild wolves, they would not let the three people who broke into the territory so easily, let alone being surrounded by hunters.
After that, the first reaction of a wild wolf when seeing a person is to run away instead of jumping out to threaten.
Based on the wild wolf's performance and the two howls of its cubs, Xu Chen could almost tell that it was a female wolf still raising her cubs.
Because the wolf cub was still young, it had been hiding in the canyon and did not escape.
Although Gu Heju is not yet very old, he has already begun to learn hunting from a group of men and has considerable experience in surviving in the wild.
Therefore, with Xu Chen's simple reminder, I roughly figured it out at this time.
Then most of the fear on their faces disappeared in an instant, and they even dropped their backpacks with a slightly excited expression, and looked in the direction of the howling wolf with their bows and arrows drawn.
"Go and have a look, be careful!"
Xu Chen also drew his bow and arrows, and the three of them formed a simple formation and slowly pushed toward the rock crevice where the wild wolf was hiding.
"Ouch~~"
As if he didn't expect the three uninvited guests to return without escaping, the hiding wolf let out a threatening howl and slowly emerged from the cracks in the stone. The body was low and ready to attack, with ferocious eyes.
It was full of anger, but also seemed to have a hint of panic and uneasiness.
"Hey~"
This time he fired an arrow, but it still missed half a meter and fell into the grass.
"Hey~"
Gu then shot an arrow, which just passed over the back of the wild wolf that jumped away. It picked up a few strands of flying hair, and then bounced off the stone and fell to the ground with a pop.
"Pu Ga!"
The two arrows missed almost at the same time. Gu Heju's slightly excited face suddenly became panicked, and he exclaimed and reached out to the quiver to draw an arrow again.
At this time, the wild wolf most likely saw that these were three young boys, and with a low roar, he rushed towards the three of them.
Damn, two pig teammates!
Xu Chen's hair stood on end, and he shot the arrow without any time to think.
The wild wolf moved very flexibly, twisting its body slightly in the air, and the arrow flew past close to its butt, but it also brought a string of blood beads with it.
"boom!"
Soon enough, the wild wolf fell in front of the three of them in the blink of an eye, and bit Zhou who had not yet drawn his bow. In panic, Zhou could only swing his bow and smash it down.
With a bang, the wooden bow broke. Although the wild wolf missed the bite, he threw him to the ground.
"Jiuga!"
Gu lost his bow and arrow and rushed forward to hug the wild wolf's neck. One man and one wolf rolled away.
"Ouch~~"
The wolf's claws tore Gu's clothes and brought up a string of blood beads. Gu screamed but hugged the wild wolf tighter, and Ju Ye rushed forward, hugging the wild wolf's hind legs tightly.
"Chen Ga..." Ju shouted.
Xu Chen's face was pale. Are the primitive people hunting like this barbaric?
However, he couldn't allow him to think too much at the moment. With a roar, he rushed forward and pressed the wild wolf under him, so the three of them and the wolf were stacked on top of each other like a sandwich.
"Knife... knife... ugh!"
Gu pressed down at the bottom and tightly strangled the wild wolf's neck.
Only then did Xu Chen remember. He touched with trembling hands a few times before he found the bone dagger hanging on his waist. He pulled it out and stabbed the wolf in the belly.
"Ouch~~"
The wild wolf let out a miserable howl, struggled desperately with its front paws, and made a few puffs. There were a few blood marks on Gu's shoulders and face.
"Puff puff puff puff..."
Xu Chen struck the dagger seven or eight times, and streams of blood spurted out as the dagger was inserted and pulled out. The wild wolf howled miserably and made less and less noise as it struggled, and finally it slowly stopped struggling.
However, Xu Chen was still uneasy and stabbed him a few more times until the wild wolf completely stopped making any movement, then he sat down on the ground with weak hands and feet to catch his breath.
Gu Heju still hugged the wild wolf tightly, and another two or three minutes passed. He didn't let go until he couldn't hold on anymore.
He pushed the wild wolf away and turned over to lie on the ground.
"Huhu~"
Covered in blood, Gu lay on his back and gasped for air.
At this time, the wild wolf was already dead. Its entire waist and abdomen were covered in blood and flesh, and there was blood pouring out of its mouth and nose.
The three of them were also covered in blood, but Xu Chen and Ju were covered in splattered wolf blood, while the clothes on Gu's shoulders and back were completely torn, and their bloody appearance looked extremely scary.
However, they breathed a sigh of relief after the two of them lifted Gu up and carefully inspected the wound.
Gu's injuries appeared to be serious, but in fact they were all skin injuries because they were blocked by linen clothes. Although the wolf's claws were sharp, they only scratched the clothes, leaving a dense series of superficial wounds on his shoulders, back and cheeks.
He definitely won't die, but Xu Chen doesn't know if he will get rabies.
Gu, who had regained his breath, seemed to want to fight poison with poison, so he immediately lay down on the belly of the wild wolf and started sucking blood.
Seeing that Gu was fine, Juya felt relieved, leaned in and took a few big sips, and then got out of the way.
"Chen Ga, Hu Ga!"
Seeing the bloody look on his face, Xu Chen felt nauseated and quickly waved his hand.
Pick up your bow and arrow and walk towards the gap in the stone where the wild wolf appeared.
"Aww...aoww..."
From the cracks in the rocks, the threatening sound of the wolf cub's milking sounds could be heard.
Xu Chen carefully used his bow to pry away the thorns and weeds at the entrance of the cave, and saw two half-foot-long wolf pups grinning at him in the gaps between several rocks.
With his messy hair, ferocious expression, and milky voice, he looks fierce and cute at the same time.
Xu Chen got in and grabbed the two wolf cubs by their necks and pulled them out.
Gu and Ju followed up with nervous expressions on their faces. When they saw the two wolf cubs, their nervousness disappeared without a trace. They grinned with bloody teeth and stretched out their hands to get them.
Xu Chen quickly hid the two wolf cubs behind his back and said, "Don't fall to death, take them back and raise them!"
The language was a bit complicated, and the two of them were stunned for a while with puzzled faces. Then they didn't care, and turned around to pack their bows, arrows and backpacks.
Xu Chen put the two wolf cubs into the backpack and pulled a few handfuls of grass leaves to cover them.
I originally planned to go into the valley to look for bird eggs, but now that I was frightened, I lost my enthusiasm for looking for bird eggs.
In addition, although Gu's injury was not serious, the wound still needed to be treated at home.
There was nothing Xu Chen could do about rabies, but simple debridement and application of medicine could help the wound heal better.
Besides, I did not see a second adult wild wolf in the canyon, but I can’t guarantee that there really wasn’t a second or third one.
If another one suddenly appeared, the three of them would not be so lucky.
In fact, Xu Chen was quite scared when he thought about it now. Why did he accidentally want to kill the wolf just now? He could have let Feng and the others handle it after he went back.
If Gu and Ju hadn't burst out with the violent power of primitive savages just now, I'm afraid none of the three of them would be able to get the favor.
Wild wolves are inherently ferocious, let alone those who protect their cubs.
The three of them were able to kill the wild wolf almost unscathed, mostly due to luck.
It seems that we can't take such a risk next time.
Life is at stake.
In this place, if you are sick and have no medical treatment, if you are injured without any medicine, you will die accidentally.
So after a short rest, the three of them did not dare to stay in the valley any longer. They picked up the wolf carcass and carried the little wolf on their backs and quickly left the valley.
