Regarding the last challenge set by the wolf king, although it didn't know the meaning of it, it also knew that it was not an easy thing to do.
Hunting and killing a human is not too difficult for an adult northern land wolf, because except for some hunters who specialize in wandering on country roads, other human beings really have no ability to resist their attacks.
The only problem is that it is not difficult to attack and kill a human being, but it is not easy to bring a living human being to the cold cave where the wolf king is.
In particular, it can only rely on its own northern land wolf to complete this matter.
Will humans enter the forest at its request? What does it eat with humans? Why not guarantee that humans escape? What about drinking water on the road? Do you want to fight for human life when you meet other beasts on the road?
After proudly sending the huge bear head to the entrance of the cave where the wolf king lived, it was deeply troubled by these difficult questions on the way back to the wolf den where it huddled.
-
After returning to the wolf den, the other companions who followed to watch the battle brought a piece of the **** bear's arm. The thick bear skin had already been bitten off by it, and it could be used directly for it to eat.
The fresh smell of blood stimulated it, and after driving away a few naughty wolf cubs who wanted to lick the bear's arms, it pounced on it and enjoyed the hunting results it created alone.
The next day, taking advantage of the cool time before the rising sun in midsummer, it called out one by one the companions who went out to hunt last night, and exchanged whining and barking howls. The problem was told to the companions.
Although everyone was exhausted from hunting all night, and the young wolves who were always energetic were making noise in the den, the challenger's request for help still needs to be taken seriously, after all, the other party's performance yesterday has conquered them all.
After a low barking exchange, the northern land wolves sitting around the pond in the center of the wolf den came up with many ideas, but most of them were immature and simple, so he kept shaking his head and vetoing them.
Until an old wolf who had survived many human killings protected by a metal outer cover whined and said something about it a few years ago.
At the northern end of the forest, near the place where there are huge glowing stones, there are some glowing vines growing. A few years ago, it was sent out by the wolf king to scout and wander in the north. Once, it couldn't find a source of water to quench its thirst, so it had to venture to search for water near the glowing stones that were often guarded by strong humans.
As a result, there was no water there, so it had to eat the shoots of those glowing vines to quench its thirst.
Unexpectedly, after those luminous vines gnawed and swallowed their stomachs, it was not hungry, thirsty or sleepy, and was full of energy during the rising and setting of the sun for more than ten consecutive times. So that time it completed the task assigned by the wolf king very well.
Telling this experience at this time is for the old wolf to see if he can help the bravest and wisest warrior in their wolf den.
When it heard the news, it was overjoyed, and couldn't help howling, which caused the young wolves who were watching to follow suit.
After having a way to lay the groundwork, it began to make some other preparations.
After explaining to his companions, it ran out like the wind, first to the cold cave where the wolf king was, and then started from here, all the way to the south of the forest.
It is not only a route that will drive away humans after getting familiar with this route, but also remember some dangerous areas on this route. When driving out humans, weak humans must avoid these places.
Naturally, there is no ferocious animal in a large area near the cave where the wolf king is, and there are no monsters in the northern land wolf's cognition. After all, in this vast forest, besides the wolf king, there are How dare those guys call themselves kings?
Although the wolf king doesn't know why he stays in that icy cave all the time, every year when the winter is the coldest, the wolf king of the northern land wolf will come out of the cave, leading all the northern land wolves to gallop through the forest, hunting wildly All animals, or fight against the female metal humans who have become more dangerous and annoying these years.
After running for a long time, after finally leaving the area where the wolf king was deterrent, it discovered many dangerous areas and lairs of ferocious animals along the way.
For example, that mud pond is the territory of a large family of forest wild boars. Although they occasionally hunt some young pigs in the wild boar herd, the pair of huge fangs of the owner of the other party are not something they can handle.
The size of the opponent is more than three it, and the weight is ten times more than the average northern land wolf. In the forest, apart from the towering trees, there was not a single tree that could withstand that guy's raging for half a day.
Going further south, there is a group of fruit trees connected together. There is a group of monkeys living on the fruit trees all day long. Throw away the accumulated fruit cores after falling. hateful! When it gets the miraculous power bestowed by the wolf king, it will definitely show you a good look.
The sweet fruit pulp is also something that the northern wolf likes, or in other words, the animals in the forest, everyone likes those fruits. It's a pity that those monkeys with painted faces are very stingy. They don't even give them the rotten fruits that fall on the ground in autumn. Sometimes they even squat on the fruit trees and urinate to drive away the northern land wolves who are picking up the fruits.
Generally, those wild boars with rough skin, thick flesh and no dignity don't care about the teasing and insulting of the monkeys. Even the **** bears with high status in the forest seldom come here because they cannot accept the insults from the monkeys. This is a place where fruit trees grow continuously.
But these monkeys also have natural enemies, that is, the lynx lynx, which never eats sweet fruits.
These silent raiders like to eat sleeping little painted monkeys the most, and they are nocturnal, those painted monkeys will rest at night, which happens to be restrained by nature.
It bypassed the fruit grove amid the ridicule of the monkeys, and continued to run southward.
After bypassing several suspicious weeds, it avoided several large trees connected by spider webs.
These are dangerous areas, especially in midsummer, and the northern land wolves who are out alone know to avoid these suspicious areas. After more than two days, it finally came to the edge of the big forest after finding a route that would not encounter danger.
-
In front of you is a wide passageway covered with large and small stones. At the end of your line of sight to the left, there is an airtight, tall lair built by humans. On the opposite side is another smaller forest, compared with the large forest behind it.
To the right is the far distance to which this stone-strewn passage leads. It has never been there before, but I heard from the Northern Land Wolf living on the west side of the forest that there is a fast-flowing river connected there. to some very dangerous guys.
There are also some dangerous monsters in the river. These four-legged people who come to the water's edge to drink specially eat them. Human beings are rarely attacked by those monsters in the water.
After thinking about it, it doesn't feel like it can swim across the river to the opposite side without being attacked by the river monsters that attack them through the turnstiles, and capture a human. And it is guaranteed to bring a person to cross the river again, and then walk for a long time in the stone-strewn passage, and then enter the forest that is dangerous for humans.
On second thought, it went straight through the stone passage, and went south into the smaller forest.
Here, it bypasses some strange mushroom circles, and is disturbed by some incomprehensible strange voices, and quickly traverses the forest of strange mist.
It can't, it knows that it can leave this weird place quickly, but it can't do that with humans afterwards.
So it repeatedly crosses the mushroom circle area that can bring up fog, and accurately finds the boundary of the opponent's influence. It finally heard an incomprehensible sound of dismay, and vigilantly urinated in these places to leave a mark, and then continued south.
On the way, it keenly found some huge moose with huge horns on its head, knowing that it could not be an enemy opponent of this size, so it carefully avoided them.
It kept running, and in the quiet forest in midsummer, it saw a human house with long white hands and feet that was stuffing the trunk with the branches removed into the gate, devouring tonic. Being vigilant, it carefully observed that thing in the distance for a while. Although it seemed to be discovered by that huge strange thing, and even waved to it in a friendly human way, the northern land wolf cautiously lay on the ground a little bit. Rubbing, out of sight of that thing.
Did not come after.
Regardless of the human house, it finally walked out of this seemingly small but rather strange forest.
When I came to an open place, the terrain here was gradually decreasing, and a river from the Great Lake in the north was rumbling all the way down. In the river, some stubborn silver-backed and red-bellied slender big fish were jumping upstream against the river.
It found some exhausted big fish resting against the stones in the water by the river, and swung its furry and powerful claws to fly one of the powerless big fish to the river bank.
As a northern land wolf that often swims in the big lake not far from the wolf den, its fishing level is not inferior to those of the **** bears.
After eating, it continued to run south along the river.
There are many large and small rolling hills along the way. There are many rabbits and mice in these places with lush shrubs, plants and flowers, and there are also many colorful and slender poisonous snakes. It carefully avoids those guys, and it will not bother to hunt those silly long-legged rabbits when it is full.
Sometimes, it will run to the high places of some hills, trying to observe the surrounding terrain and dangerous areas from high places.
It was lucky to meet some northern land wolf companions in the southern forest. These guys who lived far away from the wolf king were very rude to see it, but in its special loud roar, it revealed that it was under the challenge given to it by the wolf king. Finally, these guys finally quieted down.
It told these guys about a challenge it hadn't completed, and was taunted by them. They actually felt that attacking humans, something they would do spontaneously as adults, was considered a challenge by the wolf king, and it was really not difficult.
In this regard, it has to carefully tell these arrogant guys that it is really easy to attack and kill humans, but the real difficulty is to capture a living human from the human lair, and then have to drive or take it all the way. Go north, and bring it to the wolf king alive to be considered complete.
This moment left those arrogant guys speechless, they could only pant with their mouths open and their tongues out.
They asked him if he could finish it, and he strode away with his head held high.

After leaving its kin, the terrain changed quickly, from rolling hills and mountains to flat grasslands and wheat fields.
Looking from a high place, it can already see the intersection of two rivers in the distance, a large nest formed by the gathering of human beings. Many human beings who went out went in and out from there, and went to and from the fields.
And farther away, on the sparkling wide river, the things that humans made of trees that can float on the water are traveling to and from the river bank.
The house where humans live and hide is somewhat different from the house it has seen in the forest, and it looks smaller. But it doesn't find it strange, after all, it has heard from other companions that human beings are also divided into different classes, but unlike them, strong and powerful guys don't necessarily live in tall houses, but use some of their obstacles to Got the tinsel.
And what's interesting is that most of the human beings gather together, plan the ground together, enjoy food together, and even breed in one house. The cubs born will not be raised together, but whoever gives birth will raise them.
This makes them a bit strange for the northern land wolf. As a result, many cubs will die young due to lack of food, which greatly affects the survival of the population.
In this regard, the wolf king explained to them that because there are too many human beings, their strong ones don't care much about the survival and death of their cubs.
Although everyone doesn't know if this is the case, but the wolf king said it was the reason, then it must be.
It hides in the bushes at the edge of human fields, carefully hides itself, and observes humans secretly. It found that humans would often fight over those fields, and sometimes fight with other guys and get bloody. At this time, there will soon be humans riding out of the human lair on horses that look delicious, reprimanding and punishing the humans who dispute.
Some humans are sometimes shut in with logs outside the thick, tall wooden walls of the lair.
It watched for a long time, and felt that those humans who were locked outside the lair and left alone could be safely killed by it.
After thinking for a long time, it retreated quietly, and then set off to return to the big forest.
The way back does not need to follow a north-south straight line, it has been going up along the river whose name is not known. After walking for many days, I came to a big lake next to a big forest.
Jumping into the lake with a plop, the hot summer is finally far away under the nourishment of the cool lake water.
Flicking its four legs and paddling freely, it swims leisurely along the lake to the north. What's interesting is that in the big river to the west, there are monsters that don't attack humans, but only attack animals. In this big lake, there is a group of smart big fish that specialize in attacking humans, but never attacking forest animals.
These big fish have hard heads, and they especially like to overturn the wooden boats of humans living by the lake, and then continue to hurt and stun the humans who fell into the water.
This is very interesting, and the wolf king also said that this may be the retribution of humans fishing the lake fish.
Once on the shore, he swung and scratched himself, pulling some of the drowned parasites away. After basking in the bright sun for a while, it dried all the hair on its body, and then ran into the forest near the lake shore with a strong figure.
-
It first returned to the wolf den to which it belonged, rubbed against everyone, then rested for two days, and shared with its companions what it saw along the way.
After that, after a complete rest, it officially set off.
Going north, through the entire forest, carefully avoiding some ferocious animals and monsters along the way. At times, it would zip through dangerous areas, or areas the animals found uncomfortable.
For example, in the very center of the forest, a tall and abrupt rocky mountain appeared. Animals don't like to come to this place very much, the wind is strong, and there are no plants growing on the entire rocky mountain.
It glanced at the rocky mountain protruding from the forest, and quickly walked across it.
Some spacious places in the forest are very dangerous, because there are some huge flying eagles in the sky, those flying eagles can catch the biggest animals, ignore the resistance of the animals, fly to a certain height, and drop the animals, Fall directly to death, and then grab the corpse and fly away to eat.
Moreover, even some monsters and ferocious animals will also be attacked by them. Those flying eagles have magical thunder on their claws. As long as they are touched by the claws, except for a few monsters, all life will be killed or killed by the thunder. stun.
Fortunately, the number of these eagles is very small, and the big forest is only one of the hunting grounds for their autumn hunting.
After running for many days, it passed through the northern part of the great forest and came to the border of the forest.
It is said to be a border, but in fact the forest still has some extensions, but there are some raised high hills here, and on the top of each hill, there are some huge stones that shine no matter day or night.
It doesn't seem like it's the animals' business, but even the animals pass between these glowing stones, across the invisible border they hold together.
In the minds of every passing animal, there will be a clear voice telling them that they have officially crossed this border and stepped out of the area controlled by human gods.
Animals entering and exiting have no other impact~www.mtlnovel.com~ But any life outside the boundary enters the boundary, and its strength will be greatly damaged. This is well known to animals living in border areas.
Our northern wolf also knew this situation from the mouth of the old wolf, so it is absolutely impossible for it to cross the border established by the glowing stone.
Carefully coming to this area, it secretly looked at the huge glowing stone on the top of the hill in the distance, and for some reason, it crawled on the ground. When it came back to its senses, it quickly shook its head to wake itself up.
It secretly observes the surrounding sky, if there is a huge eagle-headed monster with flapping wings in the sky, it has to hide. Because those tamed monsters definitely have very powerful and dangerous humans on their backs.
Confirm that there is nothing in the sky except the sun. It ran quickly to a hill that was closest to it.
At the bottom of the hill, there is a stone road built by humans, and it naturally runs up through this road.
Along the way, there are many things left by humans beside the stone slabs, with many messy claw marks drawn on them, which it can't understand.
When I came to the luminous boulder on the top of the hill, I could easily see many thick vines that also glowed during the day on the ground next to the luminous boulder.
The northern wolf licked its mouth and teeth, and when it found a vine shoot, it bit and tore it, and swallowed it several times. After a while, as the old wolf in the wolf's den said, the hunger and exhaustion all the way disappeared.
It was full of energy, just about to howl like a wolf, but immediately realized the situation here, and quickly shut its mouth.
It found another section of vine buds, carefully bit off a section of vine, held it under its tongue, then left here quickly and ran south.
