Uncle Chen's general, along with a few other dogs, was pulling the game on the sled behind a few people. It was quite amusing; they weren’t even sled dogs, yet they were putting in so much effort!
Lai Fu cast a disdainful glance at the general. What was so impressive about it? Just because it had a bit of fluff and a well-proportioned body? Look at that pompous demeanor; did it really think of itself as a general? As if no one had ever been handsome before! Before it became a father, it was just a good-looking pup, okay?
Glancing at the robust muscles on the general and then down at his own little belly, Lai Fu felt relieved that Xiao Xishi wasn’t around.
Since the dogs didn’t require human effort, they moved quickly out of the mountains. As they walked forward, they suddenly noticed what seemed to be a wolf behind a nearby mound.
Everyone immediately heightened their vigilance; wolves are pack animals. If one appeared, it was very likely that they were surrounded by more.
The three of them instinctively raised their hunting rifles, aiming at Wang Henghu. They cautiously approached with their guns drawn, only to discover that beside the mound lay a Gray Wolf. This Gray Wolf had its leg caught in a Beast Trap hidden in the grass and was unable to move.
Seeing Uncle Chen and the others approach, it immediately struggled to raise its upper body, baring its teeth and glaring fiercely.
Oh no, this is a wolf!
Upon witnessing this scene, Yu Songbai was incredibly excited; this was his first time seeing a live wolf. But don’t get too excited just yet; there were likely more nearby. Hunters knew that when hunting in the mountains, they would rather encounter wild boars than wolves. Although wild boars were extremely fierce and tough to deal with, wolves were even more troublesome. If you encountered a wild boar, there might still be a chance to escape; but if you faced a pack of wolves, you could only wait for death!
Uncle Chen frowned deeply, his expression serious—completely different from his usual easygoing demeanor. Just by looking at him, one could tell this was no joke!
What? No way! What should we do now?
Uncle Chen didn’t answer but instead scrutinized the wolf carefully from head to toe. Seeing Uncle Chen’s lack of response only made Yu Songbai more anxious; he didn’t want to lose his life here—he was still young and hadn’t even married yet!
As Uncle Chen examined the wolf closely, he began to discern some insights.
"Have you all noticed that this wolf is different from the others?"
Everyone at the scene fell silent, except for Uncle Chen, as none of them had ever seen other wolves.
Uncle Chen continued speaking, unfazed by their reactions. "Typically, wolves have sharp eyes and sleek, glossy fur. But look at this wolf; its gaze is murky, and its coat isn't as smooth—it's even a bit matted. Overall, it appears rather lethargic."
"Yes, Uncle Chen, but what does that mean?" Wang Zhaoran asked anxiously. He didn’t want to die; he still had to accompany his Yu Suihuan to university in Jing City.
"This indicates that this is not an ordinary wolf; it's a lone wolf!"
"What? A lone wolf? What does that mean?" Yu Songbai couldn't help but ask.
A lone wolf generally refers to an aging and weakened Wolf King that has been ousted from its pack. The new Wolf King fights and defeats the previous one to claim the throne, driving it out of the pack. However, it could also be that the old Wolf King violated the pack's rules, such as mating with Mother Wolf without permission, and was subsequently torn apart by the other wolves before being expelled.
"Think about where it has appeared; it's not deep in the mountains anymore. It probably couldn't catch prey in the mountains anymore and, after being driven away by the pack, had no choice but to venture so close to human habitation in search of food."
"Wow, I never realized there were so many intricacies among animals!"
"Of course! Every place has its own rules. This forest is vast but has long been divided into many territories, each ruled by its own leader—the king of the Animal Kingdom. They usually do not infringe upon each other or follow certain regulations, which allows them to coexist peacefully."
"Since we've got it here, let's put it out of its misery!"
Suddenly filled with adrenaline, Yu Songbai pulled out a dagger, ready to deal with the lone wolf.
"Don't go over there! You'll be asking for death!" Uncle Chen quickly shouted to stop Yu Songbai as he attempted to approach.
