No one seemed to notice Uruk's awkwardness. Even though the werewolf leader was on the verge of a mental breakdown, his mount was still chatting enthusiastically with his old acquaintance. Hao Ren still remembered the first time he came to The Plane of Dreams, where he was running around like a headless fly, so he felt a sense of kinship with the alpha wolf he first met here. After the conversation, he also understood why the alpha wolf had migrated from the grassland to the snowy mountains in the west. It was not a long journey, and the environment on the mountain was worlds apart from the grassland wolves. If it was not necessary, the wolves would not leave the environment they were familiar with.
Because the climate of the grasslands had changed.
The collapse of Dragonspine Ridge had a more far-reaching impact than expected. After the collapse of the mountains, the hot and humid air that would have rolled back from the east of the mountains was no longer blocked, and directly blew into the sacred mountain and the coastal areas around it. At the same time, the ocean monsoon began to blow straight into the grasslands, bringing with it low temperatures and salt. Many plants along the southwest of the grasslands could not adapt to this change. The decrease in vegetation also caused many herds of aquatic animals to migrate towards the Northern Empire. The wolves living on the grasslands were also affected and began to migrate. Most of the grassland wolves chased their prey north, but some continued to move east. The alpha wolf led its pack in the opposite direction: they went straight to the sacred mountain. Because the alpha wolf had intelligence that surpassed ordinary animals, it seriously pondered for a while and felt that it was not a good idea to chase other wolves to compete in the north when the food supply had decreased. After a long journey, its pack might not be any better than the other wolves, so it was better to go west.
Although the food supply in the west had decreased, it was not to the point where there was nothing to eat. There were still many adaptable prey left here. In comparison, the situation here was even better than in the north. There were also werewolves living here. Although werewolves and wolves were not the same thing, it was common knowledge that the two races had a good relationship. The alpha wolf thought that it could find a place to stay here, so after some twists and turns, it led its brothers to Uruk's tribe.
After scaring the local werewolves, these intelligent wolves that knew how to talk successfully joined the group.
Hao Ren did not expect that while they were busy saving the world, a pack of wolves was also having an amazing adventure in their own world. He looked at the wolf king strangely. "I understand what you're saying, but aren't you prairie wolves? Can you adapt here?"
"Why can't I adapt?" The Wolf King found it strange. "We only live on the grasslands, but there are also others of our species who live on the mountains."
Hao Ren immediately understood that he was once again using the biological template from Earth to these creatures from the other world.
The werewolves were shocked when they first arrived because the wolf king had been living in seclusion with his pack on the grassland. Even when they encountered humans, they had never revealed their uniqueness. People knew that the ancient magicians had modified many animals, but few people had actually seen the descendants of these modified creatures. The werewolves had never seen them before. But soon, the two sides gained mutual trust. The wolf king's judgment was right. It was much easier to deal with werewolves than humans.
Hao Ren and the wolf king chatted for a long time. Uruk finally could not stand it anymore. He straightened his neck and squeezed out a few words with a strange expression. "Are you two done talking?"
The wolf king looked up at Uruk. "What's the hurry? It's not easy for me to meet someone I know …"
"…" Uruk's words were stuck in his throat. He was surrounded by a circle of soldiers who were red in the face. Hao Ren saw the situation and quickly waved his hand. "Alright, alright. Business is more important. Business is more important."
The wolf king snorted. Uruk lowered his head and discussed with his mount. "Well, let's go?"
The team of wolf riders finally turned and walked towards the mountain path. Hao Ren and the rest followed behind. Nangong Wudi was amazed. "I've lived for a hundred years, and I've never seen anyone who needs to discuss with their mount before going out …"
Hao Ren looked at the MDT lying on his shoulder and said quietly, "Have you ever seen someone who needs to discuss with their PDA before watching a video?"
Ophra watched the whole process with her mouth agape. She felt that Hao Ren was the most incredible guy she had ever seen in her life. "Why are there so many strange things around you?"
Hao Ren sighed. "Next time when you go out to look for a job, don't believe in the small advertisements on the roadside."
Ophra was confused. "?"
Under the leadership of the wolf riders, the soldiers of Holletta carefully entered the ancient mountain shrouded in mystery and gradually went deeper along the winding and primitive mountain path. The mountain path was rugged, and in many places there were no roads at all. Ordinary soldiers could only go on foot. Even the wolf riders walked very slowly. Hao Ren followed beside Uruk. While paying attention to the movements on the roadside, he casually asked, "How do you feel about changing to a talking wolf?"
Although Uruk's previous impression was that he was not easy to get along with, he did not seem to be a man of few words now. He thought for a moment before replying in a muffled voice, "It was a novelty at first, and having such a smart wolf as a partner seems pretty good."
As soon as Hao Ren heard it, he knew that there was a twist. "Then you found out that the situation was not so good?"
Uruk's face was stiff. "… It can talk better than me, and it can talk to anyone …"
Uruk had not finished complaining yet. He had a lot of complaints: his mount was better at talking than him, and it knew everything about astronomy and geography (at least by the standards of a wolf), it had to thank nature when it ate, it had to sleep in the north facing south, it had to wait for it to finish its morning exercises when it wanted to go hunting, and what was more amazing was that this wolf could read! Could you believe that it was addicted to books? It even took the tribe leader's seal and ran to the library when Uruk was not paying attention to open a lifetime pass for itself. If not for the fact that the library only recognized signatures and not paw prints, it would have succeeded!
Thinking of this, Uruk, the rather prestigious leader of the werewolves, could not help but feel resentful. He let out a long sigh. "It even quarreled with our tribe's shaman a few days ago, and the shaman is still thinking about life in seclusion."
While Hao Ren did not know what life was like for the alpha wolf in the werewolf tribal kingdom, he could imagine what the alpha wolf had been up to. He could tell from Uruk's expression that it was pretty much the case. He looked at Uruk sympathetically, knowing how ridiculous it was for one's mount to be even more eloquent than one's own mouth. He chuckled. "I understand, I understand. But think about it: at least it's smart, and it's willing to be your mount. This is something that can only be found by chance. "
Uruk glanced at Hao Ren. "Although what you said makes sense, I don't think ordinary people can understand my situation. Have you ever lost an argument with your own horse? "
Hao Ren sighed and picked up the MDT. "Look, this is my … erm, notebook. It's the same as the Recording Stone in your world. MDT, play some music to liven things up. "
"Fool, go do it yourself. I don't know what you want to hear."
Hao Ren spread out his hands. "Look."
Uruk looked at Hao Ren's MDT in a daze. Suddenly, his face turned solemn. "You and I have become bosom buddies."
Hao Ren was surprised to find that the werewolf leader had a sense of humor.
Hao Ren and Uruk seemed to be having a good conversation. The others who were not far away were a little surprised to see this scene. Lily nudged Ophra's arm. "I found that our landlord is quite a socializer. Uruk and I are of the same tribe, but I haven't had a chance to talk to him."
Becky craned her neck and looked at the two in front. "What are they talking about? It's so lively."
Y 'zaks said in a low, muffled voice, "Worldview."
Nangong Sanba glanced at him. "How did you know?"
"Only worldview can talk to him about such a lively topic."
As Uruk and Hao Ren walked and chatted, the team was gradually approaching the "mind control danger zone" that was previously marked.
At the fork in the road ahead, Hao Ren saw a werewolf tribal flag stuck alone on the side of the mountain path. Beside the flag was an eye-catching red pole. Uruk immediately stopped chatting. His expression turned serious. "It's the danger zone ahead. Everyone, stay alert."
