"Time to change shifts, isn't it?"

Up in the tree, Chen Wen poked his head out and glanced at Hua Yun, who was drawing on the snow.

Hua Yun quickly dusted off the snow and looked up, "Ten more minutes, you can lie down a bit longer."

Chen Wen crawled out of his sleeping bag, stretching his wrists, "Forget about it, it's just ten minutes, can't sleep well or lie comfortably, better let you rest more."

Once finished, he felt stretched enough.

Chen Wen hugged the tree trunk and slowly slid down.

"Tonight you worked hard and got quite a scare, go up and have a rest."

Chen Wen spoke, taking the flashlight from Hua Yun's hand.

Hua Yun smiled and didn't say much.

"It's very quiet around, there seems to be nothing to worry about."

"Hmm, you can rest assured."

Chen Wen said, and glanced at the startled Snowy Owl.

Although the Snowy Owl joined briefly, it still retained a considerable amount of wildness.

Just like now.

The movement of the shift was already light, yet it still startled it.

While the Golden Eagle and Lynx were sleeping deeply.

Vigilance is also a type of wildness.

When a wild animal's vigilance quickly decreases, it's not far from being fully domesticated.

Taming the Snowy Owl, it's a long and challenging path!

Chen Wen shook his head and no longer paid attention to the Snowy Owl, instead entering the night watch mode.

...

In the darkness.

The wolf pack drew closer.

The lead wolf sniffed the air, its eerie eyes showing a yearning for food.

Woo woo, hoo ha!

The lead wolf made a deep throat sound as the foremost gray wolf slowly halted its steps.

It lowered its body, slowly approaching under the snow cover.

Behind it, the black wolf moved its four legs, circling to the other side.

The lead wolf chose the opposite direction to the black wolf, aiming to attack from a third direction.

The three wolves spread out, yet vaguely surrounded Chen Wen's campsite at the center.

The six wolves behind followed the gray wolf, ready to swarm in once it made a move and delayed for a moment.

With a bite force of over seven hundred pounds, their sharp teeth would pierce the prey's skull, throat, blood vessels, organs!

Until the prey was torn apart by the wolf pack, becoming the night banquet of these displaced North American gray wolves.

Chen Wen did not notice the surrounding movements.

The wolf pack was too far away for him to sense them.

After all, being human, his perception compared to these top predators was still considerably lacking.

But as the wolf pack got closer, Chen Wen sniffed the air, his face showing a change.

The smell enhancement provided by [Red-Nosed Rudolph] made Chen Wen feel that something was off at this moment.

"Around... seems like there's something?"

Chen Wen got up with the flashlight and axe in hand.

The campfire flickered, his shadow twisted ominously like a dark spirit in the night.

The gray wolf was startled by the shadow.

Its brain couldn't comprehend what the shadow was, so it temporarily gave up the attack, choosing to lie on the snowy ground.

This hesitation won Chen Wen his chance to act first.

Chen Wen kicked the sleeping Lynx: "Wake up, Lynx, can you sense anything around? I smell something strange, like the stench of a beast."

The Lynx drowsily climbed up, yawning widely.

"Smell... what scent... oh my gosh!"

The Lynx exploded in panic the moment it caught the scent.

Like a scared kitty, it screeched constantly, in an instant climbing the tree where Hua Yun was resting: "Run, it's a wolf!"

"I'll never forget this smell for life!"

The Lynx's panic raised an alarm to the Snowy Owl and Golden Eagle.

Upon hearing the Lynx's cries, Chen Wen's face immediately changed.

On this journey, the wild animal he least wanted to encounter was the North American gray wolf!

Chen Wen shouted loudly: "Fly up! Hua Yun, wolves are coming!"

As his voice fell, he saw a silver-gray shadow from the snow rush towards him fiercely!

Chen Wen scoffed.

With [Extreme Vision] and [Dynamic Sight], he locked onto that thing the moment the shadow lunged.

A silver-gray North American gray wolf, quite large, Chen Wen felt this guy was over seventy kilograms!

You read that right, seventy kilograms!

These beasts living in North America, their weight and size are enormous!

Adult male gray wolves generally weigh over seventy kilograms, and can even grow up to ninety kilograms, with shoulder height close to a meter.

They're even bigger than some large dogs.

Chen Wen watched as the gray wolf lunged at him, his mind racing quickly.

He ducked down, letting the gray wolf pass over him.

As it flew over, [Swift] was activated.

Chen Wen swung his axe in a backhand strike towards the wolf's belly.

As the saying goes, wolves have a copper head, iron bones, and tofu waist.

Their heads and bones are quite hard, with only the soft abdomen being their weak point.

Wolves, to show loyalty, also expose their soft belly to the pack leader.

Exposing the most vulnerable part of themselves.

In short, Chen Wen felt that targeting the wolf's belly was undoubtedly the most effective form of attack.

However, perhaps luck wasn't on Chen Wen's side, as his hasty strike resulted in the axe hitting with the blunt end instead of the blade.

Although he successfully hit the wolf's belly, it didn't incapacitate the wolf.

Instead, the gray wolf let out a couple of whimpers on the ground and got back up again.

What a nuisance!

Chen Wen snorted coldly, seeing the Golden Eagle and Snowy Owl already perched on the branches.

At this moment, the Golden Eagle immediately voiced a warning: "Behind you! A wolf even bigger than this one!"

The Snowy Owl's calm voice also sounded: "To the side, there's another one! A large one!"

With the three wolves converging, Chen Wen seemed to find himself in an instant crisis.

But just then, Hua Yun's calm voice rang out: "Watch the back, I'll handle the side!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, brushing the end of her sentence.

With a "twang," the bowstring vibrated, launching an arrow with green feathers flying out.

As Chen Wen turned, he caught a glimpse of an arrow sticking into the shoulder of the gray wolf on the side, still trembling.

But he didn't have time to think, as the black wolf pounced towards him, mouth open, aiming at Chen Wen's thigh.

If caught, Chen Wen thought he might have to switch to a lone gunfighter or become a one-shot warrior.

The instinctive thought belonging solely to males prompted him to immediately dodge.

Chen Wen executed a right roll, as if possessed by a phantom, actually rolling past beneath the wolf's jaws.

When Chen Wen stood up, the snow clinging to his clothes fell off one by one.

The black wolf, faced with this situation, instinctively took a step back, seemingly not wanting its vision obscured by the snow.

Seeing this, Chen Wen quickly devised a plan.

He kicked up a large amount of snow, and under its cover, Chen Wen swung his axe towards the target.

But before he could swing, Hua Yun's warning voice sounded again.

"Watch out behind you!"

The silver-gray wolf had somehow circled behind Chen Wen.

No time to dodge.

At the critical moment, Chen Wen imitated a frog.

His hands haphazardly holding the axe in front, his legs kicked back like a frog.

[Lightning Five-Chain Whip] enhanced his feet, making his first five kicks fast, precise, and fierce!

"Woo~"

The silver-gray North American gray wolf let out a miserable cry, its whole body, like a soccer ball, kicked and sent flying backward.

The black wolf in front was also battered by the side of the axe, yelping and fleeing to the side.

Though Chen Wen had performed a move as though slaying two lambs with one strike,

he himself wasn't feeling well either, landing face down in a heavy embrace with Mother Earth.

"Goodness! You're brutal!"

Even with [Thick Skin] preventing major injuries, Chen Wen felt pain all over his body.

But when he checked himself, he found the injury was just to his hand, with a stick piercing his right hand.

As for his body, it was free of wounds.

No wonder he felt pain everywhere he touched.

Pulling the stick out, Chen Wen leaned against a large tree, surveying the surroundings.

The three wolves had temporarily gathered together.

They couldn't believe it; this seemingly weak prey actually fought back so fiercely!

Especially with two bipeds perched in the tree!

The lead wolf felt as though its scouts wanted to eat a seaweed egg drop soup with neither seaweed, eggs, nor soup.

For a moment, the situation was at a stalemate.
