Chapter 86 Northern Predators

Lawrence came to the river with a hoe, and a group of gray beasts appeared on the ground more than 100 meters away.

Wolf!
Lawrence held his breath and carefully watched the ten wolves in the distance.

All the wolves were as white as snow. At this time, the wolves seemed to have discovered Lawrence and were looking here warily.

Neither party acted rashly. Lawrence was not tall, but he brought a deterrent to the wolves after holding the hoe.

Snow wolves are not big either, the two strongest ones are just over one meter tall.

Individually, these wolves are not as tall as the three previous sled dogs.

But Lawrence was also careful not to provoke them. They were much more dangerous than the three sled dogs.

The snow wolves seemed not to want to fight Lawrence, and the strong alpha wolf quickly issued a warning whine at Lawrence.

The nearby wolves soon began to lazily turn their heads and walk towards the forest on the other side.

They seemed to be taking a walk. They didn't seem to be in a hurry, but they did avoid Lawrence and did not fight with him.

Lawrence looked at the area where the snow wolves had just gathered, where the moose had been.

The intestines and pieces of meat discarded there had been licked clean by the wolves, and not much of the blood-stained ice residue could be seen, only a faint trace of blood could be seen.

Lawrence waited on the spot for more than ten seconds, looking at the woods opposite with a thoughtful expression.

Soon Lawrence patrolled around the stone house again.

The location chosen at the beginning was very good. The place where the stone house is located is on an uneven slope. The north is more rugged, with a slope of more than 30 meters long, and the south is a relatively gentle slope in the pine forest.

There are lower-lying mountains and forests in the southwest and southeast. There are large gray pine forests that can be seen, and there are also large snow-capped mountains that are obviously in the lower mountain area but higher than here. There are low valleys and forests in the middle, and a steep mountain. hillside.

Although the place to go down the mountain is here, and the south-facing side of the stone house is relatively gentle, this is only part of the road in front of the house. The road leading down the mountain is very difficult, and Lawrence has always taken a detour to come up from the north.

It is difficult to walk in a straight line in the mountains, unless there are ropes and bridges to open the way, which can save a lot of detour time.

Wild animals will also take detours, and rivers will form barriers after the snow melts.

"Perhaps we can lead a river from west to east to surround three sides, so that we can mainly defend one side."

"The fact that those wolves are willing to leave quietly at present proves that they are not hungry enough to take risks. Judging from the healthy bodies of those wolves, it does not look like they have been hungry for a long time. The food in this mountain forest has always been relatively abundant, and even eating mice would be a waste. If you can eat enough, there is no need to fight to the death with the barbarians."

"But we can't take it lightly. I will also be raising cattle and sheep in the future, and I also have children at home. Using river protection is a bit childish."

"If you have time, it would be best to build four walls to surround this place."

"Or you can practice your bow skills and kill those wolves!"

Lawrence walked around silently, and then returned to the stone house after confirming that there was no problem.

The house was happily busy, with Salil and Sophia still cutting and preparing moose meat.

This big thing, which can survive the winter for a normal family, would take at least two or three days to process and preserve by one person.

Seeing Lawrence coming back, Sofia greeted him and said, "Master, the meat is almost ready. I'm going to make dinner right now."

Lawrence felt that he had just finished lunch, and then he remembered that he had not eaten in the morning because he was busy transporting moose, so he did not eat lunch until after noon.

A normal winter should be a time for eating, sleeping, drinking, and growing fat. It seems simple, but this is the ultimate enjoyment that many savages and southerners dream of.

"Sariel, I just went to the glacier and saw a group of white snow wolves."

Lawrence told Salil what had just happened, hoping to learn from Salil about the dangers of those snow wolves.

Sariel stood up abruptly, holding the bloody piece of meat in one hand and the boning knife in the other.

"A white wolf?" Salil looked excited. "The snow wolf's skin is the most beautiful color I have ever seen. I have always wanted to make a beautiful and warm white dress!"

"I'll go look for it!" Salil quickly dropped the pieces of meat and knives, quickly picked up two axes from the box where the tools were placed, and rushed out.

Lawrence shouted quickly: "Don't go, there are many of them! Almost ten wolves!"

"That's great!" Salil quickly turned over and jumped on the Dom sheep resting and grazing outside the door, and rushed directly towards the river where the sheep rushed out.

Lawrence was worried. It was better to use a hoe at this time, so he picked up the hoe and said to Sophia: "Sofia, close the door. I'll call Salil back."

Sophia nodded obediently, "Yes!"

Lawrence takes a dagger and a hoe, as well as rope and Dom the sheep, and goes out to find Sariel.The location that Salil went to was very clear, it was the place where the snow wolf appeared before.

Lawrence braved the cold wind and ran towards the river. The evening sun was already hanging over the mountains and would set soon.

"It should be okay, those wolves have already left."

Lawrence comforted himself. After all, Salil was very strong. Not only was she good at skinning and killing sheep, she was also not merciless at all when killing people.

"Ow!"

A shrill scream came from a distance, and Lawrence quickly saw Salil sitting on the back of the sheep, and the snow wolf 50 meters away from Salil.

There were two snow wolves on the ice. One was hit by Sariel's flying ax, and the other quickly ran away.

This time Lawrence saw Salil's movements. Salil bent down as she rode the sheep onto the ice, her arms and body tilted to remain parallel to the ice.

She decisively threw the remaining ax quickly, and then quickly sat down.

The ax quickly rotated and stuck to the ice. While flying up a large amount of snow, it accurately slid to the feet of the snow wolf.

Sariel rushed to the previously killed snow wolf, picked up the ax and threw it at the fallen snow wolf in the distance.

throat!The ax hit the ice near the snow wolf!
Although the stumbling snow wolf was not hit, it was clearly frightened and its legs were slipping on the ice.

Salil quickly got off the sheep's back, ran over quickly, pinned the snow wolf to the ground and beat it severely.

Lawrence rode the Dome sheep and slowly approached the place where the moose had been. He found that there were signs of gnawing. There were obvious signs of gnawing by teeth on the blood-stained ice slag.

Lawrence looked at the snow wolf not far away that was hit in the waist by an axe. These two wolves obviously came to eat leftovers and were hit by Sariel.

"It should be because of me. I didn't clean up here. Those snow wolves thought that I had taken away the prey that I was satisfied with, so they thought that the rest belonged to them."

The logic of beasts should be like this. To rob or be robbed, compared with hunting, how to guard one's prey is also a troublesome matter.

Sariel walked back pulling the snow wolf's tail and shouted happily: "Lawrence, these two are my prey!"

Lawrence said calmly: "Salil, we are a family now. The prey of a family belongs to the collective, to you, me and Sophia. You can't deny it to me and Sophia just because you hunted it. My father brought it back from hunting. Will he enjoy the prey himself?"

Saryl felt that Lawrence was right, "It's true."

That's how family should be, Saryl accepts Lawrence's advice.

Lawrence said: "Let's go home, otherwise Sofia should worry."

"Okay!" Salil quickly put away the two snow wolves.

One was placed on his own Dom sheep, and the other was placed on Lawrence's Dom sheep.

Lawrence asked: "Will those snow wolves take revenge?"

"Retaliation?" Salil looked puzzled.

Lawrence found that his question was a bit silly. In the savage's dictionary, there was no idea of ​​revenge from others, only revenge from others.

If these snow wolves have the racial trait of retaliating against the barbarians at all costs, then one of them and the barbarians will definitely become extinct.

The main reason for Andrew's low hunting efficiency is not technology or weapons, but the fact that he cannot encounter the kind of prey that will just stand still and not run away.

Except for humans, other animals knew how to run when faced with a strong savage, and they smelled Andrew's manly scent from a long distance away.

Animals in the ice and snow all have a keen sense of smell. Because they live in cruel areas where death is easy, they avoid confrontations with males, especially mature males.

Although Lawrence is not strong, the beasts seem to be able to tell that he is male.

Barbarians are the top predators in this area. When facing male barbarians, the petite snow wolves will stand in a stalemate for a short time to judge the gap between the enemy and ourselves. Once the opponent refuses to leave or comes roaring over, they must escape quickly. .

Otherwise, that would be the fate of the two snow wolves who were easily killed.

In the pine forest in the distance, the snow wolves quietly watched the two barbarians leaving and whined lonely.

They are mourning their dead companions.

But after a few short seconds, they began to turn around and walk deeper into the pine forest, running for food and offspring.

The power of Manzi makes many young snow wolves realize that they should leave as soon as possible when encountering this creature, as they will soon summon more dangerous predators.
