The tribe's hunting continues as usual, except that one of the two hunting teams must stay in the tribe, and the other team will no longer disperse when they go out to hunt.
Keep within sight of each other at all times.
Although Kent said he didn't need to worry about it, the pressure from this giant wolf was still there!
Lin En couldn't understand why he was just a lone wolf. The warriors of the tribe hunted every day. They had experienced hundreds of battles and there were so many people. Why should he be like this when facing a powerful enemy?
Linn found the old pastor Falcon with his questions.
The old pastor smiled and asked:
"Xiao Linn, have you ever seen a giant wolf?"
Lin En shook his head. He had indeed never seen it. Although he had heard many legends, he only listened to them as stories.
"Giant wolves are our most dangerous beasts in Fenris. They are both sacred and cunning, powerful and agile. They are tall and have an amazing bite force, which can easily tear apart steel."
"The most important thing is that they are too smart. Only the warriors in the sky can kill the giant wolf!" Falcon became more and more excited as he spoke, and his face turned red.
Lin En quickly intercepted his words and said,
"Okay, okay, I understand, don't get excited and speak slowly,"
I thought to myself that this old man was probably not telling a story.
Are the wolves of Fenris so powerful?
Falcon slowly calmed down, shook his head and said slowly:
"I haven't heard of the giant wolf hurting people for many years. It is said that it has made a contract with a holy master not to hurt each other."
"So it's best for it to leave on its own. If you want to take action, you must kill it completely and never let it run away. It will remember its hatred. No matter if it is five years or ten years, it will definitely take revenge on us!"
…
Lin En walked out of the house and breathed a sigh of relief.
The old man seemed to have talked a lot and was extremely excited, but in fact, he just said: The giant wolf is very powerful! Don't mess with it!
Since this giant wolf is so powerful,
Lin En ran back to the cave without looking back...
The days that followed continued as usual. The tribe could not stop hunting because of a wolf, so the more reserves for the winter, the better.
The hunting team carefully prepared for three days, but there was no trace of the black-maned wolf.
Later, I heard from the members of the night watch that the giant wolf was once very close to the tribe, and a very tall giant appeared and took it away!
The giant wolf has not appeared since that night.
Everyone in the tribe let out a sigh of relief, and their tense nerves relaxed a little.
And based on past experience, hunting will stop soon.
Then began the long three-month period of deep winter, when the blasting winds, carrying blade-like snowflakes, could tear anyone down to their bones in just one day.
In such weather, even the brave warriors in the tribe could not go out to hunt. Everyone could only hide at home and survive the winter relying on the food and wood reserves.
The good news is that there is more than enough food stored this year! Everyone can have a rich winter!
The tribe has begun to prepare wood in advance.
Lin En also organized the children in the cave to go out to cut trees together. If you prepare more now, you will be able to go out less often in the future.
Although the iron tree is extremely hard, it is not as hard as a battle axe. Together, everyone split the tree into long strips and tied them together to carry them back to the cave.
Just like this, one morning a few days later, the wind and snow that had never stopped suddenly intensified, and the path the tribe went out was already covered with snow half as high as a person.
Uncle Kent announces the suspension of hunting, distributes food, and prepares for winter!
Lin En and her companions collected the food and returned to the cave, hanging them up together with the fish. They hung a large piece full of them.
There has never been so much food in previous years, and the children's faces were full of happiness just looking at it.
This is everyone’s hope for a safe and sound winter!
Everyone worked together to strengthen the fence at the entrance of the cave and the remaining ventilation holes, then sealed the entrance and lit a bonfire. They were ready to happily escape this winter.
The terrifying wind, snow and extreme cold outside the cave contrast with the warm cave and abundant food inside.
Children live a happy life of fighting when they are full and sleeping when they are tired.
Even the little fat guy Bjorn wanted to live in the cave with food in his arms, saying that he wanted to follow Brother Linn.
In fact, I didn’t want to face the identical serious faces of Kent and Karl at home.
It's just that Lin En really couldn't bear to hide in the cave every day without moving.
He cleared a clearing at the entrance of the cave and went out to exercise in the snowstorm every day, trying to temper his body as soon as possible.
He focused on every chop of the battle ax and every thrust of the spear. He carefully understood the muscle changes and the flow of power in every movement, and constantly revised his movements.
Tomahawk, warhammer, Linn picks those heavy weapons.
His extraordinary spirit made him feel sharper. Exercising in a brutal snowstorm allowed him to clearly feel that the heat generated by muscle movement was helping him resist the cold.
His whole body was running and exploding with energy all the time, and all the snowflakes that came close to him were shaken away. Often after practicing outside the cave for a day, there would not be a single snowflake on his body after returning to the cave.
Bjorn even mistakenly thought that he had received a gift from the spirit of Fenris and gained the ability to control the wind and snow!
Lin En explained it to him twice, but found that he really couldn't explain clearly to him what "jin" was, so he taught him step by step how to stand, so that he could be considered clean.
Lin En can feel his physical fitness getting stronger step by step through his focused training. The heavy tomahawk is as light as nothing in his hand, and the strong wind when swinging it can split the wind and snow every time.
This feeling even made him a little addicted, so he spent more time exercising.
At first, other children followed Lin En out for some activities, but within half an hour they were forced back into the cave by the snow and wind. It was no exercise at all, and gradually no one came out anymore.
Surprisingly, Bjorn persisted and could persist for more than an hour, and later for more than two hours. He was the person who lasted the longest time to exercise except Linn.
Whenever I see that Lin En can exercise all day every day, the look in his eyes is like looking at an angel! And there is no doubt that Lin En will become the best warrior.
The warriors of the tribe also often go out to exercise. Considering the extremely cold climate and food consumption, they cannot exercise for a long time and can only do a little exercise.
But even at home, every time I look up and look out, I can see Linn's figure at the entrance of the cave wielding a tomahawk! Non-stop!
"How on earth did he hold on?"
Carl's body was covered with ice that had melted and refrozen, and he huddled close to the fire to keep warm.
He had just gritted his teeth and persisted for an hour and a half before losing control of his body and was carried back by Kent.
"There are always some people who are born extraordinary." Uncle Kent comforted the somewhat stubborn eldest son and patted his shoulder.
"Great warriors are great because they can always do things that others cannot do."
"And leading the tribe to prosper and grow is also a great thing!"
Three months passed by in Linn's mind.
When the warm spring breeze blew away the wind and snow, the tribe came back to life.
