In the first half of the night, the area around the camp was relatively peaceful. The first two shifts were between brothers Xiao Tao and Xiao Wu. When it was time to change shifts at one o’clock, it was Yue Feng’s turn to get up.

Yue Feng brought a lot of firewood from the side of the tent door, tapped the furnace of the iron stove to let the ashes fall to the bottom, and then added new firewood.

Soon the flames grew a lot bigger, and the temperature in the room rose slightly.

After Yue Feng finished working on the stove, he put on a roe deer skin blanket and sat by the stove to think about things.

There is a certain process involved in bringing the finest adult sable home to your wife to train.

Yue Feng plans to refer to the eagle training process and develop some operating procedures for Wang Xiaona.

The eagle’s unruly temperament can be tamed by humans. Logically, since the sable is a mammal, its IQ should be higher.

I was roasting the fire and thinking about something when I heard a low growl outside the tent door.

woo~~
Yue Feng could tell that it was the growl of the head dog Canglong.

Canglong’s barking is slightly different from other dogs, its voice is deeper and rougher.

Yue Feng could tell them apart through subtle differences.

Logically, the dogs outside the camp are all pretty smart hounds.

Especially Canglong, as the leader of the four wolf-blood hound brothers, he would not bark for no reason.

Yue Feng stood up from the tent, then walked to the observation port, opened the cloth windows of the inner and outer observation ports, and then stood close to the edge of the tent and observed outside the tent for a while.

At midnight, everything was quiet in the snow outside. The dogs were huddled together at the door of the tent to keep warm. The other dogs were sleeping, but the lead dog, Canglong, raised his head and looked into the distance.

Yue Feng looked around in the distance where Canglong was observing but didn’t find anything. He quickly lowered the observation window and returned to the fire.

Maybe some small animal passed by the outskirts of the camp and was discovered by Canglong, Yue Feng thought so in his heart, but didn’t take it seriously.

At this moment, outside the Yuefeng camp, a giant silver-white wolf was lying motionless on the snow.

A low roar from Canglong stopped the giant wolf from getting closer.

This is the silver-white wolf king that was active at the foot of the Holy Maiden Lake. It was ambushed by Qiao Muzhou’s hunting team of five 56 and a half. More than a dozen of its followers were killed or injured, and now the silver wolf king is the only one left.

Without the protection of the wolf pack, there is much less a lone wolf can do.

For example, when hunting medium to large wild boars, deer and other prey, a single wolf, which is half a size larger than its peers, cannot solve the practical problem.

Therefore, this silver wolf king has been looking for a new pack.

There are no other wolf packs active within the mountain forest area of ​​several hundred kilometers.

The Silver Wolf King wandered around for a long time and could only fill his stomach by catching hares, pheasants, roe deer and other prey.

However, since the day before yesterday, when the Wolf King was wandering in the deep mountains and forests, he accidentally discovered the smell left by the wolf-blooded dogs peeing under the roots of the trees, and then he chased them all the way.

A dog with wolf blood has half wolf bloodline, which can be reflected in the smell of its urine.

This gave the Silver Wolf King hope of making a comeback.

It is a three and a half year old female wolf. Since it was a cub, it has shown higher IQ and physical growth potential than its littermates.

When he reached adulthood at the age of one and a half, he defeated the original wolf king and became the new leader of the wolf pack.

Over the next two years, under its leadership, the size of the wolf pack continued to expand, from one large group to three, which were the parts that were summoned by Wolf Howl some time ago.

This silver wolf king has a very high IQ. After the hunting team of Yue Feng was driven away by the Big Black Hawk, he recognized Qiao Muzhou’s hunting team, and a series of events happened afterwards.

If Qiao Muzhou had not suddenly returned with the main personnel and guns, the reserve camp halfway up the mountain would have been within the hunting range of the silver wolf king.

First they cut off their vehicles and supplies, then they split up the hunting team and defeated them one by one.

If it weren’t for Zhao Wu’s experience in organizing people to gather together and defend the situation strictly.

If they handle the situation inappropriately, the six people in the reserve team will end up like the four brothers of the Chen family.

But plans are not as fast as changes.

The wolf king’s step-by-step hunting plan encountered five extra 56 semi-automatic rifles that were found when he came down the mountain.

The main force of the wolf pack raided the camp in the middle of the night and was almost wiped out. Only the silver wolf king was shot in the hind leg and survived.

The Silver Wolf King lay in the snow for at least an hour. When there was no movement at all from the camp, he slowly got up and continued to observe the dog gang that had spent the night.

Canglong was always very alert. The wolf king had just raised his head for less than two seconds when he was discovered by Canglong again.

Woo! Woo~~
Canglong stood up from his lying position and shouted again towards the place where the wolf king was hiding.

Now Yue Feng knew that there must be something outside, otherwise it would be impossible for Canglong to speak twice.

Yue Feng grabbed the 56mm gun beside the tent in his hand, then opened the observation window and looked at it again.

The wolf king turned around and ran away the moment he was discovered, hefting his three legs. He didn’t run very fast and it was obvious that the motor function of his hind legs that were shot was severely damaged.

Canglong barked several times in a row because he saw the wolf king running away. However, when Yue Feng opened the observation window a little late, the wolf king had already run away.

I patiently held my gun and held on for about twenty minutes, and then everything returned to calm and no one responded.

The temperature at the observation port was really too cold, and the entire tent was affected. Yue Feng then closed the window again and returned to the stove.

There are eight dogs outside, so there is no need to be afraid even if we encounter a pack of wolves. Yue Feng shook his head to get rid of the messy thoughts and continued to watch over the stove and warm himself by the fire.

It was three o’clock, and it was time to change shifts. Yue Feng pushed Xiaowen to wake him up.

“It was a little uneasy outside just after one o’clock. Canglong called me twice but I didn’t see anything from the observation port. You should stay alert on the night shift before dawn. Call me at half past five!”

“OK!”

Xiaowen responded and got up from the bed, and Yue Feng lay down next to him.

Until dawn, there was no more suspicious movement.

After getting up in the morning, Yue Feng walked around the outskirts of the camp with his gun, paying special attention to the direction in which Canglong had barked last night.

After wandering around like this, Yue Feng actually discovered quite a few details.

There were traces of suspected wolf footprints and traces of the animal lying in the snow. Yue Feng could even tell whether the animal, which looked like a wolf, had injured its hind legs by the difference in the depth of the claw marks on its hind legs.

A single tree cannot make a forest. Mountain animals of this level cannot threaten the safety of the hunting team. After Yue Feng understood this, he returned to the camp leisurely with his gun on his back.

We are preparing to go home today, so we have to start packing various supplies and tents early. It is already past 5:30 and the sky is starting to get brighter.

Breakfast was ready in the pot. Yue Feng called everyone up and started today’s work.

The tents, cooking utensils, mats and other overnight items had to be repacked and tied to the sled, and then the venison from the two deer buried in the snow had to be tied to the sled as well.

Fortunately, the hunting team had many people and many sleds.

Each person pulled a sled, which could barely hold the prey and other supplies brought into the mountains.

In more than an hour, all supplies and equipment were organized.

Finally, Yue Feng dissolved half a basin of warm salt water for the living blind elk. After the deer drank, he led the three blind deer back the way they came.

Overall, the journey was smooth.

The three living elks could be led along, which greatly saved the hunting team’s energy.

It took the whole day. We set out in the morning, had a short break for lunch at noon, and walked until nearly five o’clock in the afternoon when we finally arrived at the end of Chaiji Road where the motorcycle soldiers were hiding.

We have been traveling almost non-stop for the entire day, and we are exhausted, but we have already reached the forest area radiating from the forest farm, and there is no need to camp outside for another night.

The brothers chopped some firewood, made a fire to warm up the oil pipes and other parts of the motorcycle. After several attempts, they successfully started a fire.

Five large and small elk were harvested, three of which were still alive. It would take more than two motorcycles to pull them back in one trip, after all, there were still four alive.

But this did not pose a problem for Yue Feng, who made a decision immediately.

The two brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu were left there, roasting a fire and looking at the prey and the supplies on the sled.

Yue Feng and Xiao Tao rode down the mountain on a motorcycle, and then drove their family’s Dongfanghong 28 tractor back up.

After the team production was divided and the village brigade’s tractor was bought, the family now had a complete set of vehicles, both large and small.

Although the tractor bucket is not as spacious as that of a Jiefang truck, it is still easy to fit five elks of different sizes.

So, at about 6:30 after dark, Yue Feng and Xiao Tao rode their motorcycles back to their home.

After reporting their safety to their family, the two brothers changed to a tractor and went up the mountain again until they brought all the prey and harvest back home.

By the time we delivered the live elk to the farm on the mountain and drove the tractor back home to unload all the supplies, it was already past nine o’clock in the evening.

Yue Feng’s house was brightly lit.

The water in the big pot in the kitchen boiled and cooled, cooled and boiled again, until the children came back home from the mountain for the second time, and then the dumplings that had been wrapped long ago were put into the pot.

Several families were waiting for their children to come back home for a hot meal.

When the hot dumplings were served on the kang table, the hunting team and their families, who had been in the mountains for several days, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Xiaofeng, did everything go smoothly for you brothers on this trip into the mountains?”

Yue Lei stood up and took down the soaked tiger bone wine from the top of the kang cabinet, and poured a glass for each of his brothers.

Yue Feng didn’t bother to be polite with his father, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip: “Not bad, it took four days to go back and forth, and most of the time was spent on the road and cleaning up the camp!
If there were a ready-made underground cellar over there, and some mountain roads that could accommodate motorcycles, it would be more efficient to get in and out of the mountains!”

“Silly boy, what are you talking about in your sleep! If there really was a ready-made mountain path, how could there be so many wild animals and prey?

By the way, what else did you guys catch this time you went into the mountains, besides the two deer you brought home?” (End of this chapter)
