Chapter 331: Chapter 330: Wild Wolf Pack, The Cruelty of Nature (Vote for Monthly Ticket)

Dusk.

Campfire.

The howl of wolves.

Xu Yang was sitting beside the fire, about to end the stream and go to sleep, when suddenly he heard a series of wolf howls echoing from the deep mountains in the distance.

Xu Yang’s expression slightly changed.

Little Black also alertly gazed into the distance.

"Not again...,"

"How could this happen to me!"

Xu Yang immediately stood up.

He surveyed his surroundings, thinking of ways to deal with a pack of wolves.

Right now, he wasn’t in the forest, just as Spiderman isn’t in the city and Jackie Chan isn’t in a furniture store.

His strength couldn’t be fully utilized!

The live stream was still on, and the netizens began to freeze up, then a hint of panic emerged in their eyes.

[OMG, don’t joke around, bro, this has got to be for show!]

[Was that a wolf howling just now?]

[Don’t tell me it’s just the wind, maybe I heard it wrong!]

[It must have been a mistake!]

Everyone had just finished posting their comments when again a series of wolf howls resounded.

"Awwooooo~~~~~"

"Awwooooo~~~~~"

The faces of the netizens turned pale in an instant.

Holy shit!

It’s really wolves!

In these desolate mountains and ridges, with not even a single tree in sight, what if you encounter wolves??

Xu Yang also looked a bit uneasy.

He hadn’t expected his luck to be this bad.

On the very first night he ventured into the mountains, he had already encountered these creatures.

At this moment, getting into a tent was useless, as wolves have a keen sense of smell and would attack the tent regardless.

Xu Yang, with Little Black in tow, started climbing up the mountain.

The best method was still to head for higher ground.

However, Xu Yang was still quite lucky, not long after, he spotted a huge boulder sticking up high, about three meters tall.

Xu Yang picked up Little Black and threw him onto the boulder in one go.

Little Black, quick to react, landed steadily on the giant rock.

Then, Xu Yang backed up a few steps before suddenly accelerating.

With a powerful kick, he leaped and climbed up onto the boulder.

"Luckily there’s this huge rock, it’s safe for now."

"Wolves might not necessarily come over, but just in case, it’s better to hide."

"What luck, it’s only my first day here and I’ve already run into a wild wolf."

"Wolves aren’t considered particularly fierce in the forest, but it’s different out here."

"A situation best avoided."

Xu Yang sat on the rock and reflected.

Seeing him in a safe environment, everyone watching online also breathed a sigh of relief.

[Old Xu just threw the dog with such skill!]

[Hahaha, Little Black even flew quite steadily!]

[This team is unmatched!]

[From now on, take animals from the farm out to ’Mountain Rushing’, it’s quite interesting.]

The barrage of comments became lively again.

Xu Yang patted Little Black on the head to calm him, then took out a portable telescope from his pocket and peered into the distance.

Since he couldn’t see clearly, he simply controlled the drone to scout the area.

"I’m going to see what’s going on, these wolf howls at night are pretty scary."

"Let’s see what the deal is with this pack of wolves."

Xu Yang’s voice came through the live stream.

Hearing him say that, everyone watched intently, afraid of missing anything.

Soon, Xu Yang captured the wolf pack on camera.

Beyond a small hill, there was a vast wasteland.

There, on the wasteland, a total of nine wolves were surrounding and attacking a gazelle.

The gazelle was running fast, but under the assault by the pack of wolves, its escape range was getting smaller and smaller.

The group of wolves was smart, spreading out and slowly forming an encirclement, trapping the gazelle.

The netizens watched intently.

A touch of shock appeared in everyone’s eyes.

[Holy crap, there really are wolves!]

[Are they hunting? That’s too clever!]

[Just sitting here, I can feel that gazelle’s despair!]

[Old Xu, quick, save the gazelle!]

All sorts of comments appeared.

At this moment, Xu Yang, controlling drones atop the boulder a kilometer away, if he saw some of the comments, would probably be speechless enough to laugh.

Save this gazelle?

With what?

Even if he actually had the ability, this kind of situation was not something he could interfere with.

This case was different from an animal being injured.

Injured animals can be rescued, but in the face of the natural order of predator and prey, respect is due.

On the live stream, the wolves’ encirclement kept getting smaller.

The gazelle, startled, panicked and ran to the left and right, watching as the wolves closed in before it.

It had no options left, only to use all its strength to jump high, trying to leap over the heads of the wolves.

Life and death were determined in that leap.

But in reality, there are not so many miracles.

The wolves had been waiting for it. As soon as it jumped, two male wolves that had closed in pounced forward, biting its legs.

The gazelle fell to the ground, and more fierce wolves piled on top.

There wasn’t a trace of life left.

The scene had become bloody.

Next, the live stream went dark, briefly censored.

Xu Yang also wisely maneuvered the drone back.

Before long, the streaming resumed.

The audience in the live room was somewhat panicked.

[Too scary, surrounded by a wolf pack, you really can’t even run!]

[These wolves even have tactics!]

[They surround their prey, terrifying!]

[The gazelle died so miserably!]

Xu Yang remained calm, even breathing a sigh of relief.

"Good, it was only a small wolf pack. I counted just now, there were nine wolves in total."

"It’s fine as long as it’s not one of those large packs with twenty or thirty wolves. If I encountered a pack that big, I would really retreat. I’m only out for a stroll, not to gamble with my life."

"Nine is not a big problem."

Xu Yang told his audience.

He waited a while longer, then sent out the drone again to check where the pack would go next.

At this time, the gazelle had been eaten clean, leaving only bones reddened flesh and fur.

The activity on the wasteland had ceased.

The howling of the wolves could no longer be heard.

Xu Yang could see the wolf pack moving away in the opposite direction from him.

Seeing the pack had gone far, Xu Yang lifted Little Black and jumped down from the rock.

"The wolves are gone, I’m going back to sleep."

"That was quite thrilling."

"But for now, there’s no major problem."

Xu Yang waved at his audience in the live room, planning to sleep.

The audience was still shivering from the scare.

[Old Xu, are you really going to sleep here?]

[You’ve got some nerve!]

However, Xu Yang didn’t feel there was anything to worry about and simply told everyone he would start streaming around eight o’clock the next morning. By then, the tent would be packed up, and he would set off as soon as the stream started.

With that, he turned off the live stream and went into the tent to sleep with Little Black.

The wind howled across the wasteland.

There was a "wooshing" sound.

It sounded rather frightening.

But Xu Yang slept soundly, without a hint of worry.

In the wasteland, several vultures arrived beside the gazelle’s carcass, enjoying the remains of the food.

During the night, some smaller animals came too.

Until the darkness gradually faded and a hint of the white belly of dawn lit the sky.

The day broke, and Xu Yang awoke from his sleep.

He felt surprisingly refreshed, with no sense of fatigue.

He got dressed and began to pack up his tent and backpack.

Once everything was packed, he turned on the live stream.

The audience in the live room increased quickly.

Yesterday’s stream had attracted many people, leaving them wanting more.

Xu Yang ate something simple, gave Little Black some jerky, and continued on his journey.

He strolled across the wasteland, planning to first check the area where the wolves had devoured the gazelle.

Now, there should only be a heap of white bones, fur, and soil stained with blood.

"Yesterday, the wolves came from over there and cornered a gazelle here."

"The wolves must be capable to survive in a place like this."

"The wild wolves are fierce, sometimes even daring to attack herds, stealing the herdsmen’s sheep."

"But they are smart too; they only steal sheep and don’t retaliate against humans."

Xu Yang was walking towards the spot where the gazelle lay, all the while sharing knowledge with his audience.

At that moment, Xu Yang saw something moving near the remains of the gazelle, far in the distance.

With a curious look on his face, he took a closer look, and it turned out to be a little gazelle!

The little gazelle stood beside the fur of the dead gazelle, bleating gently.

It nudged the head of the gazelle with its own.

It seemed stunned, not understanding why its mother wasn’t responding.

Perhaps it had come over last night and spent a whole night crying in the open, dark night.

"No way, that’s a gazelle calf!"

"I can’t believe it!"

"Could it be that the gazelle from yesterday, after spotting the wolf pack, ran out alone to face them to protect the calf?"

"Isn’t this what happens in movies where the parents of the animal protagonists do?"

Xu Yang didn’t know how to describe his feelings right now.

A sorrowful little gazelle emerged beside the remains of the gazelle.

Nature is just so real and cruel.

The audience was also stunned by this scene.

Early in the morning, everyone saw a scene they couldn’t forget.

[Oh my god, the poor little gazelle, I can’t watch this!]

[I think Old Xu is right, that gazelle must have run out to divert the wolf pack’s attention!]

[It reminds me of the story in "Kung Fu Panda," except the panda’s father is still alive.]

[Such a pitiful little gazelle!]

The scene before them was indescribably cruel.

Xu Yang wasn’t into photography; otherwise, with just a few pictures of this scene, he would have been able to win a photography award.

He didn’t care about accolades; instead, he was more concerned about the little gazelle’s condition.

"I need to save this little guy."

"There’s no way I could bring the gazelle back, but it might be okay to give it to a local animal protection organization."

"No matter what, now that I’ve come across it, I should take it with me."

"It’s so pitiful."

Xu Yang called to Little Black and made his way towards the little gazelle.
