The next day, the hunting group saw the pack of wolves in the giant-antler deer's territory.
Yesterday, they were too far away to see clearly, but today, they carefully observed the wolves.
The wolves in this pack did not look much different, but they were bigger than the wolves in the previous packs, and their fur was also different. The fur of these wolves was patterned, and there were some darker spots near their backs.
After coming to the forest, Shao Xuan had seen many wolves with different fur colors. According to Mai, there were some special packs, and the pattern was the symbol of their pack. If the pattern was different, it might be a foreign wolf, not a member of the original pack.
Shao Xuan had never seen this pack of wolves before, but Shao Xuan had never seen it before, but it did not mean that Mai and the others had never seen it before.
"Why do I feel that this pack of wolves is very familiar?" A warrior said.
"I think so, too. I have seen this pattern before."
"We met them when we were hunting a cave bear at the edge of the hunting route." Mai recalled.
At that time, they met a huge cave bear, which was injured. It seemed that it had fought with other ferocious beasts, and Mai and the others took the opportunity to kill it.
But even though the cave bear was injured, it was still very difficult to deal with. The hunting group chased it for a long time, until they were almost out of the hunting route, and finally killed it. At that time, they happened to encounter a battle between two packs of wolves. One pack of wolves slaughtered another pack of wolves. It was a real cruel slaughter. Not only were the wolves bitten to death, but many of the dead wolves had been bitten and gnawed beyond recognition. The ground was covered with blood, and scavenger birds were hovering in the sky.
When Mai led the hunting group to kill the cave bear, the slaughter was already over. Only a few wolves were still lingering around, dragging and biting the dead wolves on the ground. When the hunting group showed up, they were already full, and there were wounded wolves in the pack, so they were not in the mood to deal with the hunting group, and the leader of the pack left with the rest of the wolves.
And it was there that Lang Ga picked up Caesar, who was still a cub at that time.
Caesar was the only surviving wolf in the wolf pack that was completely slaughtered. Probably because he was playful at that time, he went a little further away. There was a steep slope not far from the wolf's den, and he rolled down the slope. At that time, the wolves guarding the den might have noticed the appearance of other wolves. They were only focused on being vigilant and did not pay attention to Caesar until the end of the massacre.
When Mai brought people over, Caesar, who had rolled down the slope and was lying under a rock, had just woken up from his coma. He kept howling, and only then did Lang Ga notice him. Otherwise, if he didn't make a sound, no one would have noticed him under the cover of the rocks, tall grass, and steep slope. Fortunately, the other wolf pack did not deliberately search for the scent of the pups at the edge of the steep slope.
"I remember, when I picked up Caesar, he was only this big." Lang Ga raised his hand and gestured, "He even wanted to bite me with his teeth that were not fully grown yet."
Recalling the past, Lang Ga and the others could not help but smile. Caesar was indeed not big at that time. But soon, everyone's heart sank. Obviously, those who had witnessed the massacre together with Mai and Lang Ga were not happy about it.
It was not that they were sentimental. As warriors who had hunted in this forest for many years, they had seen many such battles. Moreover, as hunting warriors, who had not killed wild beasts and ferocious beasts? Could soft-hearted people survive here? It was impossible.
The reason why they felt uncomfortable was that when they thought of that scene, they knew how cruel that wolf pack was. It could even be counted as torture.
"Unless you kill them all, otherwise, don't mess with those guys, especially you guys." Mai looked at the new members and said.
Everyone nodded quickly.
There were new members in the hunting team this year. As new members, it was easy for them to attract the attention of the carnivorous wild beasts and ferocious beasts in the forest. They loved to attack the weak.
What Shao Xuan had experienced, they had to experience it again.
"Xuan, keep an eye on Caesar." Mai whispered to Shao Xuan.
"I know." Shao Xuan had the same idea.
After that, during the hunt, Shao Xuan kept an eye on Caesar. Seeing that Caesar was still the same as usual, he was relieved.
After killing a giant-clawed beast, several people in the hunting team began to deal with the prey. Lang Ga checked the surrounding traps, and asked Shao Xuan to help him fix them. The auxiliary role of traps could not be ignored.
Seeing that Caesar was lying not far away, Shao Xuan walked over to help Lang Ga fix the traps.
"Lang Ga, when you picked up Caesar, did he see the miserable situation of the wolf pack?" Shao Xuan asked.
Lang Ga thought carefully, "Yes, I did. I picked him up from the bottom of the slope and put him on the ground. He sniffed around and howled. He even bit the two dead wolves with spots on them. His little teeth were not fully grown, so he could not even bite through the wolf's skin."
After slaughtering one wolf pack, the other wolf pack was not completely unscathed. They lost two wolves. However, compared to Caesar's wolf pack, which was almost completely wiped out, this was nothing.
"The wolves with spots on their fur were very strong. Compared to other wolves, they had a stronger bite force. They were ferocious and often killed other wolf packs and attacked other beast packs." Seeing Shao Xuan frown, Lang Ga smiled and said, "You're not worried that Caesar will hold a grudge, are you? How old was he at that time? That's impossible. "
As he spoke, Lang Ga looked up at Caesar, who was not far away. Seeing that he was looking at them, Lang Ga lowered his head and continued to fix the traps.
Every time they fixed the traps, Caesar would lie down not far away and watch Lang Ga and Shao Xuan fix the traps.
"I didn't expect you to keep him. I was going to cook soup for you." When he thought about how Caesar had almost been cooked, Lang Ga could not help but feel happy and emotional.
Shao Xuan was listening to Lang Ga describe what he had seen when he suddenly heard a cry of alarm.
"Alert!"
"Everyone, be careful!"
"It's a wolf pack!"
Shao Xuan suddenly stood up and looked around.
Caesar, who had been lying there just now, was gone.
Mai nervously paid attention to the movements of the wolves. The pack of wolves had already formed an encirclement, but soon, Mai discovered that Caesar had rushed out. He did not fight directly, but instead, he took a bite of the wolf at the side and ran away.
Mai could feel that the wolves had originally wanted to attack them, but their target was not Caesar. However, after seeing Caesar, the wolves hesitated for a moment. Under the command of the alpha wolf, they changed their target and chased after Caesar.
During normal hunting, Caesar would help attract the attention of the prey, but that was all planned. The prey was not such a threatening wolf pack. Why would Caesar suddenly rush out?
"Xuan, hurry up and call Caesar back …" Mai quickly looked around and did not see Shao Xuan's figure. His face turned green. "Where's Xuan?!"
Lang Ga jumped out from the tall grass, panting, "I didn't catch him."
He had seen Shao Xuan leave just now, so he immediately chased after him. He wanted to stop him, but unexpectedly, he was left behind after a short distance. He could not even find his shadow, so he had to go back first.
"That guy … he's too fast!" Lang Ga had never thought that he would lose his target so soon, even though he was already a mid-level totem warrior and could move fast in the team!
Mai took a deep breath and then looked at the young warriors. "You go back to the cave first! Qiao, take them away! "
After that, Mai led the warriors into the woods and went in the direction that Lang Ga had pointed out.
On the other side, Shao Xuan followed the traces on the ground and chased after Shao Xuan.
Caesar had probably discovered the wolves' movement before Mai, so he moved very quickly. Perhaps he had been waiting for an opportunity, or he would not have rushed out so decisively.
After all, Shao Xuan had been a little late, so now he could not see the wolves at all. He could only follow the traces on the ground and around.
He had not noticed it before, but now he realized that these wolves were really fast.
Shao Xuan was worried. Caesar had almost no chance of winning against the wolves, and the probability of him escaping was not high.
Lang Ga said that Caesar did not hold grudges, but Shao Xuan believed that Caesar remembered. As for how much he remembered, Shao Xuan did not know.
While chasing, Shao Xuan looked in the direction where the wolves were running, and he had an idea.
In the middle of the first and second strongholds, there was a remote area near the mountains. Usually there were not many ferocious beasts going there, but there, Lang Ga and Shao Xuan had set up a trap belt together.
When hunting, they might encounter some trouble, and these traps in remote areas were to deal with such situations, in case of emergency. If they encountered some ferocious beasts or wild beasts that were difficult to deal with, the hunters would run towards the trap belt, and let the traps hinder the ferocious beasts, so that the hunters would have more time to escape.
In the past, the traps were mainly set up by Lang Ga. Later, when they were mending them, Shao Xuan and Lang Ga studied them together, and made some improvements. Because they were designed to guard against ferocious beasts, they were naturally designed with the ability to injure or even kill.
These traps had to be checked every time they went hunting. This time, they came to check them on the first day, and Caesar watched them mending them.
Wherever the wolves passed, many wild beasts would avoid them. Some ferocious beasts were also afraid of causing trouble, so they avoided them. This also made it easier for Shao Xuan to catch up.
In the direction of the trap belt, there were already screams.
Shao Xuan sped up again.
When Shao Xuan arrived at the trap belt, what he saw was a sunken pit. There were thorns in the pit, and a wolf was lying in it.
The thorns inside did not pierce through it, but as it struggled, the thorns pierced deeper and deeper, causing more and more blood to flow out. The thorns were smeared with a kind of grass juice with an anesthetic effect. As the thorns pierced deeper, its struggling became weaker and weaker. If no one pulled it out, it would not be long before it died. Shao Xuan did not care about it, and went straight through it.
Not far from the pit, a wolf was hung in the air by its neck. The more it struggled, the tighter the rope became. This kind of rope was also specially soaked in the blood of wild beasts and grass juice, and was very strong. The wolf hung 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 a little deformed.
When Shao Xuan passed by, he gave it a stab. The wolf hung in the air, no longer moving.
Not only were there pits and nooses, but there were also nets, knife stakes, and a series of other traps. Every once in a while, Shao Xuan would see a wolf that was dead or still struggling. There were spots on their backs.
Shao Xuan chased them all the way, and stabbed them all the way. If there was no time to deal with them, he directly threw spear darts or stone needles. Even if they did not die, they could still injure them.
