Chapter 122 - 122 Encountering a Wolf!
122 Encountering a Wolf!
Lin Suisui was shocked by Little White’s commotion and anxiously turned around to ask Lu Ze what to do. However, Lu Ze’s reaction was very calm. “It’s probably a forest deer or a rabbit. It’s fine. Little White can handle it.”
Hearing that it had encountered prey, Lin Suisui heaved a sigh of relief and climbed up with the help of Lu Ze. The two of them rushed in the direction of Little White’s tiger roar.
Just as Lu Ze had expected, by the time they arrived, Little White had already bitten the neck of a forest deer and was wrestling with it.
This forest deer was clearly separated from the deer herd. It seemed that it was on par with Little White in terms of age. They were both cubs that had yet to mature. This way, they were evenly matched. It was the rule of the jungle and depended on who could last longer if they fought!
Lin Suisui looked nervously at Little White, who was fighting the forest deer. She subconsciously took two steps forward to help, but Lu Ze reached out and stopped her.
“You can’t help it.” Lu Ze looked at Little White, who was struggling because of its size, but he had no intention of helping. He even reached out to stop Lin Suisui.
Lin Suisui was stunned for a moment before she quickly understood why Lu Ze had made such an arrangement.
Little White was a tiger after all, not a cat. It was destined to be the king of the forest, so it would definitely face this kind of hunting often in the future. Neither she nor Lu Ze could stay by its side and protect it forever!
Therefore, it had to mature!
Under Lin Suisui’s anxious gaze, Little White defeated the forest deer and suppressed it, not giving it a chance to escape.
Little White looked exhausted. It drank a few mouthfuls of blood from the deer’s throat. After recovering some strength, it stood up shakily and turned around to bark at Lin Suisui and the others.
“Hey, don’t come over. Don’t…” Lin Suisui looked at Little White, who was running towards her shakily, and couldn’t help but laugh. However, when she saw the pool of blood on its face, she subconsciously stopped it.
However, Little White was overcome with excitemment. How could it listen to Lin Suisui? It pounced over and smeared Lin Suisui’s skirt with blood.
Lin Suisui could only resign herself. As she squatted down and grabbed the snow on the ground to help Little White clean the blood on its face, she praised it generously.
Lu Ze lowered his head to say something to Lin Suisui, but he suddenly frowned and stood in front of Lin Suisui and Little White warily as he stared in a certain direction in the depths of the forest.
At this moment, not only Lu Ze, but even Little White, who was still rolling in Lin Suisui’s arms, seemed to have sensed that something was wrong. It turned around and bared its teeth as it growled threateningly in Lu Ze’s direction.
No matter how slow Lin Suisui’s reaction was, she realized that something was wrong.
She didn’t ask anything. She only tried her best to reduce her presence so that she wouldn’t be a burden to Lu Ze.
Soon, Lin Suisui knew what had caused Lu Ze’s expression to change.
Wolves!
It wasn’t a lone wolf, but a hungry wolf pack that had been attracted by the smell of blood in the forest.
One, two, three…
Looking at the seven wolves approaching them from the forest, Lin Suisui couldn’t help but gasp!
This wasn’t the first time they had encountered a wolf pack since they came to the north, but the wolves in front of her made her feel a sense of danger and oppression that she had never felt before.
The snow had sealed the mountain for so long, so these wolves must be hungry!
The smell of blood from the forest deer that Little White had bitten to death attracted their attention. However, after they arrived, their target was no longer just the forest deer that had attracted them!
A deer wasn’t even enough to fill the gaps between these seven wolves’ teeth!
Therefore, their current target wasn’t only the forest deer, but also Lu Ze and Lin Suisui. Even Little White, who was on the verge of charging forward at any moment, was their target.
Lu Ze gently pulled out his sharp dagger as he leaned forward slightly and stared warily at the wolf pack that was slowly approaching them.
Lu Ze was extremely fast. Before Lin Suisui could react, he had already shot out and pounced at the gray wolf closest to him.
This battle instantly began. In the blink of an eye, two gray wolves had already fallen from Lu Ze’s dagger.
Lin Suisui didn’t dare to be careless. She carefully retreated behind a pine tree to watch the battlefield. She wanted to hide Little White with her, but it was obvious that Little White had no intention of hiding. It broke free from Lin Suisui’s protection and rushed forward to join the battle.
Little White wasn’t stupid. Its targets were all the gray wolves that Lu Ze had stabbed with his dagger. Although it was small, it was also agile. It shuttled through the battlefield and only attacked the injured ones. Soon, the remaining two wolves saw that they were no match for them and quickly turned around to escape into the depths of the forest.
“Are you alright?!”
Seeing that the wild wolves had been chased away, Lin Suisui couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. She quickly came out from behind the tree trunk and ran to Lu Ze to check on his current situation.
His body was covered in blood, but fortunately, none of it belonged to him. It was all wolf blood.
Lu Ze bent down and wiped the dagger on the fur of the gray wolf at his feet. Then, he straightened up and looked at Lin Suisui with a gentle smile. “It’s fine. These wolves aren’t difficult to deal with.”
With this encounter, Lin Suisui had no intention of going further into the forest. She suggested to Lu Ze, “Why don’t we go back? This place isn’t far from the camp. We can call the two brothers from the Fang family, Wu Liu, and the others over to move these back.”
“We don’t have to call them. We can transport them back ourselves.”
Lu Ze was clearly much more familiar with the north than Lin Suisui had imagined. He turned around and walked towards some relatively short trees at the side. He quickly cut off many branches with a dagger and dug a plow with the withered vines at the side.
He moved the corpses of the wild wolves over and placed them on the plow. Lin Suisui wanted to go forward and help, but Lu Ze stopped her. His reason was that this kind of thing wasn’t suitable for her to do.
Lin Suisui didn’t insist. She turned around and began to size up the surrounding pine forest that towered into the clouds. She was very lucky today. At a glance, she immediately found what she wanted on a half-withered pine tree trunk in the distance!
