Chapter 952: The Particular Alpha Wolf

Xia Qing's face darkened and her voice turned stern. "Black Wolf Bro, I'm very busy. If you take Little Four-Eyes and leave, I won't go to Mountain Fifty-Five to change its dressing or feed it medicine!"

"Aow-wu~ wuu—"

The Broken-Waist Wolf inside the room let out a low, commanding howl. The Big Black Wolf carrying the Little Black Wolf paused for only a moment, then left without looking back.

That tone from the Broken-Waist Wolf…

Xia Qing followed the Black Wolf father and daughter out of Territory Three and, sure enough, found that Black Wolf had placed Little Four-Eyes inside a wolf den in Zone Three of Mountain Forty-Nine.

Excellent! She'd learned a phrase of wolf language!

When Broken-Leg Sister had injured her leg, she had spent most of her recovery time in this wolf den. Compared to Territory Three, Black Wolf clearly felt this place was safer.

Setting down the little honey badger in her hand that wanted to fight her, Xia Qing happily returned to her territory to fetch supplies. First she cleared out the damp, moldy grass, then disinfected the wolf den—which had been uninhabited by wolves for a long time and had become a nest for snakes, bugs, rats, and ants—before laying down two dry, soft grass mats, and finally placing an antibacterial pad on top of the mats, with a jug of uncontaminated spring water set beside them.

The den was full of dust. Black Wolf stood outside holding her cub in her mouth, quietly watching Xia Qing work.

"Black Wolf Bro, you two live here. When Little Four-Eyes wakes up, I'll come back to feed it medicine."

"Squeak~~ creak!"

When Xia Qing pushed open the door, she heard the wolf den's hinges were rusted and making noise, so she casually applied some lubricant. After confirming there was no more noise, she had just climbed out of the wolf valley when she heard the sound of a large beast moving deep in the Evolution Forest.

Crunch, crunch, sand—

After a short while, Broken-Leg Sister came out of the mountain, bared her fangs and snapped at Xia Qing, then leapt down into the wolf valley and entered the den with practiced ease.

Returning home, Xia Qing complained to the Broken-Waist Wolf lying on the tatami, "I thought after today's battle, my status in the wolf pack would have gone up."

The Broken-Waist Wolf, who had been staring at the LCD TV on the wall, turned its head to look at Xia Qing.

Xia Qing squeezed in between Sheep Boss and the Broken-Waist Wolf, leaned against the boss, and unwrapped the damp gauze from the Broken-Waist Wolf's two injured paws that hadn't been splinted. She re-applied medicine and wrapped them in clean gauze, instructing, "Until your paws heal, they can't get wet. During this time, you don't need to wash your feet when going in and out of the house."

The Broken-Waist Wolf pulled back its lips slightly, indicating it understood, and continued staring thoughtfully at the TV. It had never seen this new thing in Xia Qing's house before, but it felt very familiar.

Xia Qing's eyes lit up and she eagerly pitched, "This is a TV. Let Handsome Wolf Bro turn it on and have a look."

Xia Qing used the remote to turn on the TV, continuing to play the instructional video she was studying. The Broken-Waist Wolf's eyes instantly went wide!

"How about it? Pretty good, right! This is called a TV. It works pretty much like a phone or laptop, but it's much bigger, more comfortable to watch, and easier on the eyes. Handsome Wolf Bro, for just a pigeon-egg-sized Use Yishi, you can take the TV back to Mountain Fifty-Five and set it up in your den."

The Broken-Waist Wolf stared at Xia Qing, thoughtful.

Xia Qing kept pitching, "Right, you can set it up in your den. When the battery runs out, you can use your power-generating bicycle to charge it. Your power-generating bicycle has been sitting upstairs for ages, never used once. How about it? Just one Use Yishi!"

The Broken-Waist Wolf didn't smile, clearly thinking this thing wasn't worth one Use Yishi.

Xia Qing sighed at her failed sales pitch, leaned back against Sheep Boss, and muttered to herself, "Broken-Leg Sister and Black Wolf both came over to look after Little Four-Eyes. Wolf Lao Er still hasn't come back even though it's dark. It must be staying at Mountain Fifty-Five to look after Broken-Leg Sister's other cubs, right?"

Sheep Boss squinted at the TV while chewing cud. The Broken-Waist Wolf's ear twitched, and it looked toward the back window. After a short while, Sheep Boss's ears moved too, and it stood up and clip-clopped outside.

Only the Alpha Wolf could warrant Sheep Boss personally going out to greet. Xia Qing excitedly followed. Was the Alpha Wolf here to deliver Green Lantern food, or to pay the medical bill, or both?

She was so excited!

Watching Xia Qing go out, the Broken-Waist Wolf stared thoughtfully at the TV remote beside it for a while, then raised its right front paw wrapped in gauze. Does Daigua Monkey, perched on the tree branch in the corner of the room, stopped gnawing its cucumber when it saw the Broken-Waist Wolf's movement.

"Squeak-ao!!!!"

A wild boar's shrill, agonized scream rang out from Mountain Forty-Nine, one after another. The wolf pack had brought the cubs to kill pigs!

Why bring the cubs? Because with the Alpha Wolf's combat power, if it were hunting the boar itself, the boar wouldn't have had a chance to scream like this.

Xia Qing caught up with Sheep Boss and asked, "Boss, are you going out? The wolf pack is killing pigs."

It was already dark, and Sheep Boss clearly had no intention of going out. Xia Qing cut a large bundle of Green Lantern leaves, carried Sheep Boss back home, and let it stay and eat grass while guarding the Broken-Waist Wolf.

Does Daigua Monkey, holding its cucumber, was clearly startled by the wild boar's scream. It reached out a little black paw toward Xia Qing and opened its mouth, but before it could make a sound, Xia Qing had already rushed off excitedly with rope, basin, and bag to the wolf valley.

When Xia Qing reached the valley, she found that this time seven cubs had come, led by two.

One was a light grayish-brown cub. The moment Xia Qing saw this cub, she knew it was the offspring of the Alpha Wolf and the Broken-Waist Wolf, because it was an Elasticity Evolver, its pupil color matched the Broken-Waist Wolf's, and its movements carried the Alpha Wolf's shadow. It was currently leading two of Broken-Leg Sister's cubs and another cub, surrounding and hunting a half-grown wild boar.

The other three giant wolf cubs were surrounding and hunting a large wild boar.

On the hillside were three she-wolves who had given birth to cubs this past spring. Besides Broken-Leg Sister, that gray giant wolf was among them. No need to ask—those three giant wolf cubs were this gray giant wolf's offspring.

Wolf Lao Er hadn't come; it must be at Mountain Fifty-Five or Sixty looking after the other cubs.

Xia Qing walked up to Handsome Giant Wolf and asked, gossiping, "Giant Wolf Bro, are those three giant wolf cubs in the valley your offspring?"

Handsome Giant Wolf's expression didn't change, and it didn't move, as if Xia Qing didn't exist at all.

Xia Qing turned and asked the Alpha Wolf, "my lord, are those three giant wolf cubs Giant Wolf Bro's offspring?"

The Alpha Wolf didn't answer. It leapt down into the valley, efficiently took down a two-hundred-jin wild boar, carried it up, and placed it in front of Xia Qing.

Xia Qing's eyes immediately lit up. "This wild boar that isn't dead yet is mine? Thank you, my lord. You're really too particular. You truly are the king of the northern wolf pack, truly an evolved wolf standing at the top of the Jin Zita…"

While excitedly expressing her gratitude, Xia Qing pulled out the Evil Element Detector to test the boar's quality.

"Crazy people, what are you doing? Killing pigs in the middle of the night?" Tang Huai, who was wearing night-vision goggles and searching for cicadas everywhere, asked irritably on the Lord channel.

Beard Feng was out on a mission and hadn't returned yet. Er Yong answered, "Brother Luo said the team members stationed at Mountain Forty-Nine have been too slack in their training lately, so he assigned us to fight boars barehanded to improve our combat ability. We didn't disturb everyone's sleep, did we?"

"No, no, it's not even nine o'clock yet. Train all you want. When the mountain-guarding team members improve their combat power, we feel a lot more at ease." Thinking about the Qinglong people chasing wild boars through piles of pig dung, Tang Huai burst out laughing.

The ordinary lords, already used to sleeping when it got dark, echoed Er Yong's explanation after hearing it, saying they weren't asleep and telling the Qinglong Squad to train as much as they wanted.

"Green Lantern wild boar! Thank you, my lord!" Xia Qing tied up the boar, squatted beside the Alpha Wolf, and waited for the cubs to finish hunting their boars before going down to test the quality.
