Chapter 181
After it finished speaking, its body trembled imperceptibly for a moment, a faint fishy-sweet scent lingered at the tip of the nose, Ling Yue couldn't help but inhale deeply—what does it smell like?
She only then discovered that this scent was actually coming from the Wolf Queen's body; on the snow beneath it, there were very hard-to-detect water stains, or rather, milk stains.
If it weren't for Ling Yue's sharp eyes and keen senses, she wouldn't have noticed even until now.
As for the Wolf Queen, she seemed already accustomed to it, enduring the soreness of engorged milk, all to find her own children—what if they were found and she had no milk left?
Ling Yue took a deep breath, a hint of sigh rose in her eyes; perhaps before she felt nothing, but now, seeing the lactating Wolf Queen, an indescribable sourness welled up in her heart.
Damn poachers!
Ling Yue suddenly thought of that strange waterfall; she gradually calmed down: "I have never been to that waterfall."
Saying that, she glanced at Jun Jun; according to what Jun Jun said, it had extremely disliked that waterfall before leaving, and now, with time having changed, nearly a thousand years have passed—would it still be as it was when it left?
Eighty percent impossible.
So Ling Yue laid it all out: "Let's go to the waterfall together, and I need you to trust me highly and follow my commands."
The Wolf Queen was somewhat stunned: "What?"
Immediately, it reacted, agreeing to Ling Yue without hesitation.
But regarding command, according to Ling Yue's plan, they would split into two groups—how could it hear Ling Yue's commands? The clever Wolf Queen voiced her doubt, yet saw Ling Yue smile slightly.
"I have a way."
"Look into my eyes, trust me."
After sending the Sea-East Green home, she gained two skills: one is Sky Lord, the other is Possession.
Possession means observing the world from an animal's perspective, equivalent to Ling Yue gaining another pair of eyes.
The Wolf Queen's glossy green eyes fixed on her, full of undisguised urgency and anxiety; it wished it could sprout wings and fly to the waterfall.
The next moment, Ling Yue felt herself suddenly slip into another wondrous state; suddenly, in her low field of vision, she saw a human figure.
That familiar face—could it not be herself?
This truly is an extraordinarily wonderful feeling.
Ling Yue could feel the howling wind, her keen hearing, and various chemical signals in the wind; she could even control the body.
Is this Possession?
At the same time, the Wolf Queen froze completely in place; it, it, it, it also felt as if another person had taken residence in its body, yet it subconsciously complied.
"Wolf Queen, don't be afraid—I am temporarily possessing you; when we reach the waterfall, we'll flank them, those poachers won't escape a single one!"
The Wolf Queen couldn't help but nod; after this incident, its trust in Ling Yue suddenly surged greatly; at that moment, Ling Yue suddenly heard the system's voice: 【Ding, fulfill the Wolf Queen's wish: strike poaching crime, rescue the cubs! Mission reward: Leader's Heart】
Ling Yue blinked, because the system hadn't appeared for a long time, she thought it had gone into hibernation.
The system suddenly issued a mission; for Ling Yue, it was basically no difficulty, but after carefully examining the reward, she couldn't help but develop great interest.
Because this granted reward is very practical and powerful, the Leader's Heart mainly works in work and career, allowing Ling Yue to actively seize opportunities and command subordinates.
In terms of planning and decision-making, it also enhances acuity; after all, being able to lead a Red Wolf King family to its current prosperity in just a few years, the Wolf Queen is absolutely indispensable.
System prompt: 【Accept or reject?】
Ling Yue: Accept accept!
Speaking of which, she hadn't accepted a commission for quite a while; she couldn't help but clench her fists, eager to try.
The Wolf Queen looked at her two paws rubbing against each other
, her two eyes were about to stare into mosquito-coil eyes: "Adult?"
Ling Yue: ""Unexpected unexpected, definitely an accident
!
She mounted Jun Jun's tiger back, went ahead to scout, while the Wolf Queen prepared to summon the other wild wolves and follow.
It stood on a large rock, its loud, resonant wolf howl almost penetrating the entire forest.
"Little ones, where are you all? Report your numbers!"
At the same time, the scattered wild wolves that had received the queen's order responded with enthusiastic howls.
"Queen, Wolf Two is here!"
"Wolf Three is here!"
"Wolf Five is here!"
In Ling Yue's field of view, slowly, gradually other wild wolves gathered; she counted and found there were over thirty—if it weren't for her arriving today, these thirty-odd days of wild wolves might cause a wolf disaster within two days.
After all, there aren't many small animals here for them to eat; if not enough, the wolves will band together and attack livestock down the mountain.
Ling Yue felt relieved, but the next moment the Wolf Queen told her: "Wrong, the wolf count is off."
Its consort beside it immediately stepped forward, thick eyebrows, big eyes, heroic bearing—clearly a smart wolf, lowering its head to tell the Wolf Queen: "We're still missing Wolf Six!"
"This guy has always been the laziest in the wolf pack; now I don't know where he's hiding."
Upon hearing this, the Wolf Queen immediately narrowed her eyes; according to the wolf clan's rules, every wolf under the Wolf King must unconditionally obey the Wolf King's orders, yet Wolf Six didn't respond!
The Wolf Queen was practically furious—because the wolf pack locates via howls, this Old Wolf Six doesn't respond, so no one knows where it is; the Wolf Queen needs to go rescue the cubs, a major affair for the pack, yet it refuses to participate!
It's enough to make the wolves die of anxiety!
At this moment, Ling Yue spoke up, telling the queen: "Wait, I have a way to find it."
Ling Yue lay on Jun Jun's back: "Help me locate a wolf's position."
She spoke, and Jun Jun couldn't possibly refuse; moreover, with just one wolf, while the wolf pack had already fully gathered, it was as obvious as could be.
"Wow!" Jun Jun suddenly let out a low growl: "It seems to be lying still near the waterfall."
Ling Yue: Got it.
She told the Wolf Queen this, leading the wolf pack in action; the waterfall matched what Jun Jun said, located near the mountaintop, behind a concealed grove—before even getting close, the rushing water could be heard loudly.
Suddenly, Ling Yue twitched her ears, hearing a faint, weak howl; using the Wolf Queen's body, she asked the other wolves: "Is it Old Six?"
Wolf Queen:!!!
It, angry, took control of its body, charging ahead; after a dozen seconds, a fat wolf lying in a snow den, half-squinting, appeared before Ling Yue's eyes—she was still using the Wolf Queen's perspective.
The fat wolf should be Old Six; its mouth opened as if not opened, and it began to howl 'ow-ow-ow-ow', uttering fragmented words that Ling Yue couldn't stick together even with 520 glue.
Hearing its negative howl, the Wolf Queen grew ever angrier; the surrounding air seemed to congeal, and the Wolf King's husband and the other wolf subordinates simultaneously retreated several steps.
The Wolf Queen could become Wolf King as a she-wolf not by virtue alone; she is both civil and martial, intelligent and capable; after becoming Wolf King, her temperament gradually steadied.
The Wolf King's husband was the Wolf Queen's mate before she became head wolf; the two wolves were childhood sweethearts, growing up together; thinking of his wife's violent temper, the Wolf King's husband couldn't help shaking his head, as if returning to those early days.
Really spicy!
The Wolf Queen's violent temper is like the facing-heaven chili, millet chili, and devil chili of ** month, chopped and mixed together; one gulp and it's almost deadly.
Other wolves also felt lingering fear; looking at the clueless, foolish fat wolf on the ground, someone hissed, 'It's over, this kid is over!'
Old Six was still sniffling, leisurely lying in
the snow den.
The next moment, the Wolf Queen gave it two punches, bang bang bang: 'I really can't believe you, Old Six!'
Old Six: 'waa waa waa… waa waa waa QQ'
Literally, hug-head rat scurry.
Old Six was hit by the Wolf Queen's iron fist
so that its face swollen all around, tucking its tail and fleeing everywhere: 'Queen, spare my life! Queen, spare my life! I won't dare again!'
At the same time, seeing it running all over the ground, Ling Yue couldn't help laughing out loud; beneath her, Da Lao Hu Junjun had already pushed aside the leaves, shaking off the snow that had fallen on its head: 'We've arrived.'
Before even getting close, Ling Yue already saw that under the sky light, the waterfall fell like a white silk ribbon, grand and vast, mighty waves, sparkling spray; even before approaching, the mist had already sprayed onto her.
At the bottom of the waterfall lay a wide, deep lake that one could not see the end of.
Here it's humid but not cold, even somewhat warm; the main proof is the colorful small flowers blooming on the shore, as well as the lush green grass.
Ling Yue lifted her gaze and discovered that this place was surrounded by mountains on three sides, essentially a small valley.
No wonder the temperature is so warm.
"Jun Jun, let's go."
Jun Jun gave a low response.
At this moment, the Wolf Queen also began to investigate cautiously, lowering her head to sniff lightly; Ling Yue felt the same and smelled various scents, among which a soft, warm milky scent instantly slipped into the Wolf Queen's nose amidst the mixed odors.
"It's my cub! It's the scent of my cub!"
It let out a low call; this is a scent only close kin can smell; even though poachers know their sense of smell is keen and have used various methods to mask it, this is its cub—how could it possibly not smell it!
Beside them, the Wolf King's husband instantly became overjoyed.
Beside them, Old Six, who had just been beaten, was eager to please the queen; hearing the queen say she had smelled the cub's scent, it couldn't wait to take a deep breath.
"Ugh!"
Old Six directly vomited from the smell; the overpowering stench made it throw up in one gulp, rolling its eyes.
Seeing this, the other wolves were frightened and jumped back: 'What's going on? Is it poisonous!'
Old Six lay on the ground, difficulty saying: 'So, so smelly!'
Ling Yue felt the Wolf Queen twist its neck, turn its gaze, and a bang bang bang 'sand-pot-large' fist smashed onto its head: 'Shut up!'
Many wolves looked at it like that, shaking their heads and sighing; truly a poor creature, the wolf clan's sense of smell is keen—who would be as honest as you, taking a big sniff in one go, and still dare to say in front of the parents that someone else's cub smells bad.
If you're not looking for a beating, who is?
At this moment, at the lake's end, wisps of cooking smoke rose; three poachers wiped their hands on the □□, smiling as they gathered by the fire pit, beside them a self-heating hot pot gurgling with steam.
Nowadays, who still brings cookware? A box of self-heating pot is enough.
Beside them lay an open big bag; inside, a dirty little wolf cub poked out its head, emitting a soft milky whimper.
"Hey, little cub smelled the scent, are you hungry?"
One of the crew-cut big men saw this and couldn't help laughing; the chubby-faced man beside him, hearing that, smiled: 'What, you still want to send it rations?'
The crew-cut man shook his head: 'What to send, what to send? If it weren't for these two wolf cubs, we wouldn't be in such a sorry state.'
The thin, small man with a scar on his face, who was cleaning his gun, suddenly said: 'If I had known, I would have just strangled them.'
He said this, glaring fiercely at the withered bag; if it weren't for the wolf pack disrupting their plan, they wouldn't have been in a panic, only catching two or three stray cats and dogs.
The scarred man felt extremely unwilling.
From this remark, one can hear that among the three, the scar-faced man has the most vicious disposition.
The other two hurriedly smoothed things over: 'This won't do; even unweaned wolf cubs can at least fetch some money; moreover, we three have been chased so desperately by its parents that if we don't get something back from
recover it from them, I couldn't swallow this anger!
As soon as that was said, only the crackling of firewood remained by the lake.
They are precisely the poachers who have been pursued a thousand li by the Wolf Queen.
The little wolves in the sack, though small, already vaguely know some things; especially after leaving their mother's protection, the hardships along the way have caused the siblings' minds to mature quickly.
The younger brother waa
waa-waa crying, the sister pulled at its little head, about to lick its fur to comfort the little brother, but the sister wolf cub's motion froze, she tossed her head: 'yue~~'
The big bad guy, to mask their scent, actually directly smeared feces on the two little wolf cubs; now the odor they emit is enough to make one faint at the smell.
The sister, in a soft milky voice, patted its head: 'Little brother, I can't lick you, you're so smelly.'
In that instant, the younger brother wolf cub cried even more miserably.
It was still dropping golden Dou Dou underneath; the big lynx beneath the two cubs perked up its ears: 'Xiao Zuzong, don't make a fuss!'
"What's the point of crying? Even if you cry more, your mother won't come back!"
Even it doesn't know where this is; to say it's also really unlucky, the lynx, a solitary animal, had just finished patrolling its territory when humans spotted it, and then it became the prey in the *** bag.
The lynx lowered its head and licked its hind leg; there, it had been shot through the hind leg by poachers; though not long, for it it was already enough pain, it once wanted to die, all because of these two little guys.
The little wolf cub sister licked its cat: 'Uncle Huahua, the cub will lick you, and you won't hurt anymore.'
The lynx's fur instantly stood on end: "No licking! No licking! You little stink egg, hey hey quickly pull back your little tongue!"
The little milk wolf younger brother who dropped gold beans also came over humming and whining, the stench doubled.
Two little stink eggs smoked it to near death; this isn't simply one plus one, doubling it isn't that simple; the lynx Flowery's big paws tightly covered its nasal cavity, stinky cat!
However, to be fair, because it was too smelly, its head felt dazed, and instead it became dull to pain.
Really……
Lynx Flowery sighed.
Suddenly, its ears twitched, and it pressed down on the two little guys: "Shh, don't make a sound."
It seemed to hear a tiger!
What are these two bad guys up to?
Half a minute ago, three poachers were discussing heatedly; the state's control over this old forest is extremely strict, they took risks, it's not just to catch a few small animals, whether lynx or wolf pups, far from being their goal for this trip.
Dao Ba spoke with a hoarse voice, head lowered, occasionally stirring the fire, he spoke first: "Brothers, we're not resigned, neither am I; if we could get a big one, even in my dreams I'd wake up laughing!"
"Hey kid, if you can wake up laughing, I can't? Everyone wants to get a big one, but do we have this luck?"
"Damn it, I just don't believe it; there's no way this mountain lacks big things, these scattered scraps aren't enough to stuff anyone's teeth gaps!"
He swore while speaking, but Dao Ba's face showed some hesitation; the other two noticed and couldn't help but look at each other: "Dao Ba, are you hiding something from us?"
Dao Ba: "Sort of."
The two heard this and instantly perked up, eyes bright as they looked at Dao Ba's face: "What is it? Tell us, brothers, as the saying goes, three clumsy craftsmen beat Zhuge Liang!"
Dao Ba, however, had made up his mind: "I know where the big one is!"
"Maybe we could even bring the whole family!"
Upon hearing this, both men's eyes lit up: "What do you mean? Explain clearly, we're listening, brothers!"
Dao Ba: "This game is set up by me; it's not a spur-of-the-moment idea, but I have a plan. I previously came to the mountain once, in the neighboring mountain, and encountered a female tiger!"
Yikes!
Upon hearing this, the two men's eyes went wide.
Tiger!
Moreover, it's a female; combined with what the brothers said earlier, one can't help but let their imagination run wild.
At this moment, the lynx's ears pressed against the sack, its eyes also widened: female tiger!
Oh no, oh no!
They actually discovered us!
As for that female tiger, Lynx Flowery knows more than they do.
Originally, it had lived at the border between mountains, where only this lynx resided; not long ago, a female tiger came from the neighboring mountain, its belly swollen.
Swollen, it was obvious at a glance that it was pregnant.
Female tigers can be in heat year-round, but the mating season is mostly in winter, because winter is colder, female tigers can spend a long time seeking mates. At the same time, it's not uncommon for female tigers to become pregnant and give birth in winter.
The female tiger next door to Lynx Flowery is exactly this situation.
Moreover, it is about to give birth; aside from hunting, it spends most of its time sleeping. As for the male tiger, heh, after mating the male tiger leaves directly, being extremely irresponsible. However, tigers are inherently solitary animals.
Afterward, the tiger mother will raise the cubs alone until they are four or five years old, when they become adults and will voluntarily leave their mother.
Of course, saying this now is too late.
The lynx looks cute, but its nature is ferocious; sometimes it even hunts its own kind, even wolves.
However, Lynx Flowery is obviously not a qualified lynx; aside from daily hunting, it actually doesn't bother with other matters.
Moreover, even though that female tiger is pregnant, it's no match for it, so after a while it just laid back, at worst waiting for the female tiger to finish giving birth before moving elsewhere.
However, plans don't always survive change; during an unintended hunt, it got its hind leg caught in a trap; even though that trap had weathered for decades, it still made it scream in agony.
One hind leg instantly split open, flesh and blood mangled.
It wanted to flee, but couldn't muster any strength.
The sky grew darker; before long, the forest would plunge into total darkness, and various predators would appear. Even though it is a lynx with ferocious large claws, it could very well die; even if it luckily escaped, the large trap on its leg would cripple it.
In a jungle where survival of the fittest reigns, what will a disabled lynx face? No one knows better than it.
Just then, the female tiger appeared.
It first heard the creaking snow sounds, then saw the round, big belly, the golden female tiger approached it, frightening it so its fur stood on end.
"Don't, don't eat me QAQ"
It froze stiff with fright, thinking it was over, absolutely done; its thick claws desperately grabbed, yet unexpectedly, the female tiger lowered its head, and its powerful bite instantly snapped the trap.
That hind leg suddenly loosened.
Lynx Flowery stood stunned in place; the female tiger gave it a casual glance.
Then it leisurely walked away, as if it had come just to take a look at its miserable state.
Afterward, they ran into each other several more times.
That time, Flowery had caught a fat rabbit and was about to eat; upon looking up, the neighboring female tiger was actually biting a huge idiot that was dozens of times larger than it!
In an instant, it finally understood what that female tiger's gaze that day meant: it was mockery.
However, bottom line, it had saved it once, and the other party didn't drive it away; instead, it tolerated its living in the same territory.
"Since that's the case, Dao Ba, you go first; I'll handle this stuff, then catch up later."
"Okay."
A few words brought Lynx Flowery back to its senses; it immediately dragged the two wolf pups over to see what was happening; the wolf pup sister jumped in fright, forced composure, and said with bared teeth: "Two big bad guys ran off! And there's one more—ah, he's coming over!"
Down
In an instant, the sack's mouth was tied, Lynx Flowery felt itself suddenly lift off; the crew-cut man let out a low grunt: "Yo, still pretty heavy."
He muttered to himself: "Hey, you guys just stay put here honestly; I need to hurry up and meet with the boss and third later."
He spoke, thinking of that pregnant mother tiger, and couldn't help but laugh greedily: "Hehehe."
The lynx Huahua in his pocket felt his heart sinking more and more; they had split up, and they had brought him along for several days—how could they suddenly want to abandon him? Or had they found better prey, enough to let them temporarily set him and the wolf cubs aside?
The lynx Huahua scratched his ears anxiously, "Ahhh, so annoying!"
The two wolf cubs anxiously tiptoed.
Tiptoeing, they stepped on the lynx Huahua's head, their little paws hooking around the sack's edges, emitting soft mewls.
"Mom… Mom, save me…"
"Wuu… Mom, save me~"
At that moment, the buzz‑cut man was still thinking about Dao Sha's words—his brother had said that he had observed that mother tiger for several days, and these past few days were when she gave birth, also when she was at her weakest.
The buzz‑cut man wouldn't doubt his companion; the other's family were renowned hunters of their generation, with three generations of hunters in their lineage.
He was thinking about how to skin the tiger and strike it rich, unaware that a pair of green, glistening eyes behind him had already locked onto him.
The Wolf Queen crept forward, hiding behind the bushes, her green, glistening eyes fixed on the man—from his sturdy thighs to his chest, finally settling on his *** neck.
Ling Yue shared its vision, and through the Wolf Queen's gaze she could even see the man's rough pores and pulsing blood vessels…
His sharp canine teeth suddenly itched, his blood surged like a river, as if every muscle and cell in his body were mobilized—this feeling was incredibly addictive!
The Wolf Queen extended her claws; the cubs' cries stirred her fury and hatred, and she suddenly erupted, leaping up——Recently the garbled text has been severe, giving us more motivation to update faster; please trouble yourself to exit the mode. Thanks,:,,
