Chapter 125 – The New Wolf Pack (2/2)

On Caesar’s first hunt, he did not encounter that wolf pack. Everyone in the hunting group had been worried that Caesar would encounter the wolf pack, but he didn’t confront the pack this year. The first encounter was caused by their deviation from their hunting route. And at the second one, they just saw several wolves from a long distance, those wolves didn’t look very well.

Until now, they hadn’t even seen a wolf, and they thought that this was abnormal. The wolf pack should have always been around the giant-antler deer herd, but…

“Everybody should pay attention,” Said Mai.

No wolves competed with them, so the hunting group could catch many giant-antler deers every time they came.

Something whizzed past.

Caesar’s presence distracted two giant-antler deers and a few spears appeared.

Lang Ga and several people dragged the giant-antler deers aside and quickly dealt with them to make it easier to bring them back later.

Jumping on a stray old deer’s back, Caesar bit its neck. However, compared to the giant-antler deer, Caesar’s size didn’t have much advantage. Even though the deer was old, its power couldn’t be underestimated.

Getting rid of Caesar, the deer ran away so fast that Caesar failed to catch up with it. After chasing it for a distance, he slowed down and saw it run away farther and farther.

While dealing with the prey, Lang Ga and the others kept an eye on what happened there, and found that the deer bitten by Caesar was just a small shadow now. They intended to comfort Caesar, who, after all, did help a lot in the previous hunting missions. In addition, he never caused trouble like the cubs in the tribe. Therefore, he left such a good impression on them that they were not so afraid of him.

Thinking about what to say and fixing their eyes on what was to happen, Lang Ga and the others stopped their work. In particular, Caesar was about to look back, but did not expect, before he turned back, the deer was suddenly bitten by a large wolf.

The sudden attack made the deer stagger and fall down, it struggled to stand up, but the reality did not give it an opportunity to do so. The second and third wolves arrived…

A pack of wolves surrounded the deer. In spite of looking at them from afar, Lang Ga could still see torn bloody meat flying through the air.

“Those wolves…” Lang Ga had an intuition that something bad was about to happen.

“Not the old wolf pack.” Mai looked slightly grave.

Each hunting group knew something about the preys and predators in their respective hunting areas, especially the wolf packs. It was natural that they were clear about what kinds of wolves were active there.

In spite of standing afar and seeing vaguely, they could judge from the hunting style that this pack was crueler than the old one. Instead of biting it to death directly, they gnawed it.

Caesar stared at the wolves in the distance, puckered his wrinkles on the nose, exposed his fangs, and growled.

“Caesar, come back!” Shao Xuan shouted.

This pack of wolves was dangerous to Caesar, similar to the previous wolves, Shao Xuan could not let Caesar confront them. On one hand, he was outnumbered. On the other hand, even if he fought against one of them, he might not win, because the wolves were generally larger and vicious. If he confronted them, it was more likely that he would be the loser.

When going there for hunting, warriors in the hunting group avoided provoking the wolves, for they were very vengeful. Once provoked, unless they were all slaughtered, they took revenge.

Since the new wolf pack emerged, the hunting group hurried to leave with the prey to return to the cave before it was too late.

“Caesar, stop looking, go!” Shao Xuan cried, having found Caesar was looking back.

Glancing at the wolf pack from a long distance, in the end, Caesar followed Shao Xuan and ran back to the first holdout.

At night, all the group members were having a barbecue while chatting in the cave. The entrance of the cave was blocked by a large stone, and wind blew in only through some gaps and vents. After the Thorn Black Wind accident, Mai took this cave as the new holdout.

Mai stopped talking, so did the others. All were listening carefully.

There were some wolves howling.

The howling didn’t come from afar. Those with poor hearing might not notice that but those present had much stronger sense of hearing than ordinary people.

“They are those we saw today, right?” Tu said in low voice.

This was Tu and Jie Ba third hunting mission with Mai’s hunting group now. Their appearance didn’t change, but their temperament was totally different. They were no longer the two warriors who lived in the cave and fixed their mind on food!

“Be more careful about the new wolf pack tomorrow. The wolves that were here before may have been defeated…” Said Mai.

There was an area shared by two packs of wolves, in which wolves from different groups might be seen. However, this area wasn’t where they got together.

And now, a pack of wolves showed up at the foot of the mountain, it was obviously that the previous wolves were either defeated or dead.

When everyone was talking about the new wolf pack, Caesar kept an eye on what happened outside the cave.
