Hou!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the wolf pack charge again, the two bears roared in fury and charged straight toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just moments ago, both bears had been knocked down—and humiliated—by the same wolf; how could the black bear and second black bear bear to let that slide?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xiao Yi quickly shouted orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Doggie, Second Black, keep your eyes locked on that alpha wolf—don’t let him escape.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Xiao Yi didn’t need to shout—Doggie and Second Black were already doing exactly that, and in their hearts, the Wolf King was their primary target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two bears charged straight into the wolf pack, recklessly barreling toward the Wolf King without paying any attention to the other wolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aowu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this move enraged the wolf pack completely—wolves began leaping onto the bears’ backs to bite and tear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doggie and Second Black now bore multiple claw wounds and torn flesh, yet they paid no mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, these wounds were minor for two bears, but the wolf pack was suffering too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the wolves formed layers around the Wolf King, naturally losing some of their agility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some wolves, unable to dodge in time, were slammed by the bears—and those hit took long moments to recover and rejoin the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the wolves’ layered defense still blocked the bears’ charge, and the pack could no longer flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, the Wolf King couldn’t escape, so the pack had to stay and defend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because if any wolf fled alone now, it would become a lone wolf—and lone wolves struggled to survive in this wilderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, some wolves could still escape if they chose to become lone wolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the two bears’ eyes were fixed solely on the Wolf King—if other wolves tried to flee, the bears wouldn’t even notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when the Wolf King charged downhill would the bears, ignoring their wounds, break free from the surrounding wolves to block him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Xiao Yi had noticed that both bears had been injured in the heat of battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no help for it—Xiao Yi had no more wooden spears to offer ranged support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And to stop the wolf pack, the two bears had to first fight desperately to hold back the Wolf King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the bears were closer to the wolf pack than Xiao Yi and Doggie, they’d collide first, while Xiao Yi and Doggie needed time to reach them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Doggie, go help Black and Second Black ease the pressure—remember, your only target is the Wolf King.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Xiao Yi and Doggie wasted no time—they sprinted full speed toward the Wolf King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Doggie’s speed was clearly faster than Xiao Yi’s, allowing him to reach Black and Second Black first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Xiao Yi called out to Doggie first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Xiao Yi himself, he didn’t rush into the chaos yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, as long as the three bears kept the damn Wolf King pinned, no matter how he ran, he couldn’t escape the encirclement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Xiao Yi headed to his right, not far away, to retrieve one of the wooden spears he’d thrown earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he’d used only wooden spears at first, his axe had been left on the low slope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now all ten wooden spears were spent—Xiao Yi was effectively unarmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi didn’t think he was mad enough to fight the wolves without a weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in his view, no matter the outcome, he had to ensure he didn’t get hurt—at least not seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dealing with the Wolf King and the pack came second!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After retrieving the wooden spear, Xiao Yi ran toward the wolf pack, spear in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, with Doggie’s arrival, the battle had grown even more chaotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the wolves’ downhill charge had become harder too—nine wolves simply couldn’t match three black bears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One wolf had already been bitten by Black, its hide torn off in a large chunk, drenched in blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi paid no mind to these battlefield gains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Xiao Yi’s view, he could let all the other wolves go—if he could kill this Wolf King, his mission here was accomplished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, yes, the wolf pack had stolen his food, but the one directing them was this cunning old Wolf King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, in Xiao Yi’s eyes, this old Wolf King was truly exceptional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Xiao Yi left, he would leave Black and Doggie in the area where he’d lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the northern wolf pack continued to survive in this region, and if the old Wolf King lived, he’d still lead the pack—and Xiao Yi feared Black and Doggie might then be in danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, Xiao Yi believed Black and Doggie would struggle to handle a wolf pack led by the old Wolf King—after all, this old wolf was truly cunning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the wolf pack’s numbers had decreased, numbers could be replenished; the pack could still dominate this region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So before leaving, Xiao Yi had to eliminate the old Wolf King now—to settle the small thread of fate between him and these two dumb bears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the old Wolf King was gone, even if the pack remained, Xiao Yi believed Black and Doggie could handle them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they still lost then, Xiao Yi could only say the two bears were useless—and they deserved to lose.\u003C\u002Fp>",1221,"2026-06-20T08:19:47.933Z",1,"Qwen3-Next
