I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 287, Catch Some Wolf Cubs?

Translator: Silavin

Yan Hua was quite surprised by what she had just witnessed, especially the moment the alpha wolf led the attack. The other wolves also launched their assault, all clinging to the old deer’s body. The scene looked like a string of grapes.

The Three Tailed Wolves’ sharp teeth directly pierced the old deer’s skin, with red blood gushing forth.

The old deer could not withstand the onslaught, and with wolves ramming into it at full sprint, plus the weight of wolves hanging all over it, it was defeated in no time.

If it was just a single Three Tailed Wolf against it, perhaps it would not be in that situation. In fact, it might have even be able to fight back. But with dozens of these terrifying and intelligent Three Tailed Wolves working together, a lone old deer had almost no chance of survival.

It was precisely this intelligent method of hunting in a team that allowed the Three Tailed Wolves to establish themselves in this area.

Because of their numbers, they almost always operated as a team. With their strong lethality, most predators in this area kept their distance from them. In fact, no one wanted to intrude on the Three Tailed Wolves’ territory, everyone avoided them whenever possible.

“I’d rather encounter a Giant Claw Mountain Bear than face Three Tailed Wolves.” Shu Feng said with a shudder.

If he encountered Three Tailed Wolves, he could only flee – fighting would definitely result in mutual destruction.

“Giant Claw Bears are solitary, so they never roam in a pack. They also aren’t as persistent as Three Tailed Wolves, making them easier to deal with.” Cang Shi said.

“They move rather slowly, and even if they temporarily unite, we can still handle them. But this wolf pack is different. Their Speed and lethality are too much. Better not mess with such troublesome beats.” Sha Hong gravely said.

She would not think much of one or two Three Tailed Wolves, but unfortunately, they always moved in groups of ten or more, making them too difficult to handle with hardly any benefit to gain.

“If you encounter them, avoid them. If you can’t avoid them, never turn your back at them.” Cang Shi warned.

Three Tailed Wolves would eagerly pounce the moment they saw their target’s back, leaving no chance for resistance.

Their teeth were sharp and long. Once they bite down, they would not let go no matter how much their foe hit them. They would hold on until either they died or the prey died.

“Understood!” The five Warrior Trainees nodded.

Su Bai blinked his black eyes while continuing to observe the feasting wolf pack, asking, “Do they always hunt together like this?”

“Yes, they all hunt together, except for some old or sick wolves that stay behind. Most of these wolves are already mature.” Sha Hong explained.

“What about the Wolf Cubs? Do they bring their cubs along too?” Su Bai continued asking.

“Oh right, what about the cubs? They must have hidden them somewhere, right?” Cang Shi also started scanning the surroundings.

Almost all collectivistic animals protected their young well, from the fleeing deers to the Three Tailed Wolves currently feeding on their prey. Not only that, even solitary creatures like the Giant Claw Bear, no matter how huge they grew as adults, would protect their young.

If they did not protect their young well, their offspring would become food for other beasts.

“Must be. In this world of survival of the fittest, the sick, injured, and elderly are the best targets for hunters, especially the young, who have absolutely no ability to resist.” Su Bai solemnly said.

This was how cruel the primitive era was, filled with killing everywhere. One moment of carelessness and one would not even know how they died.

Cang Shi and the others wore serious expressions. This was just how life was in the primitive era.

*Awoooo…* The strong alpha wolf was howling, warning off those who wanted to come steal their prey.

This was also how he maintained his dominant position in the pack. Otherwise, the other wolves would not follow his orders.

The other wolves quickly devoured the prey when not being bitten by the alpha wolf, as if the meat would disappear if they were too slow.

Su Bai’s black eyes moved around, looking not only at the Three Tailed Wolves but also trying to spot where the cubs might be.

Since learning of how formidable Three Tailed Wolves were, he could not help thinking about certain possibilities. [They could be useful not only for guarding the Tribe but also for hunting expeditions.]

It would be unrealistic to approach the adult wolves directly to use his Taming Skill. He would most likely get bitten before he could even try.

If only he could catch some cubs, use his Taming Skill and take them back, raise them in the Tribe, they would be useful by next year.

Looking at the Three Tailed Wolves’ size, they were large enough that a person could easily ride on their back. Perhaps, he could even form a wolf cavalry unit, where Warriors would be riding on wolves into battle. That would be incredibly intimidating to his enemies.

“Shaman, what are you thinking about?” Yan Hua asked.

“I’m looking for where the Wolf Cubs might be.” Su Bai took out his telescope and began searching.

“To catch cubs for the Tribe? What does wolf meat taste like?” Yan Hua started imagining.

Su Bai shook his head with a smile and said, “I don’t want to catch the cubs to eat them. I want to raise them.”

“Raise them?” Yan Hua doubted her ears.

*Meow~* Rolly seemed to understand, excitedly swishing its tail as it leaped down from the tree and started running forward.

“You’re a cat, not a dog. Why are you wagging your tail?” Su Bai laughed and called out, “Where are you going?”

*Meow~*

Rolly stopped and turned back, calling out with its round eyes seemingly trying to convey something.

Su Bai frowned in thought for a moment, then suddenly understood and ordered, “Ye Jiu, Shu Feng, Da Gua, Wa Ming – follow Rolly. It might know where the cubs are.”

He felt Rolly’s eyes were trying to express exactly this, judging by how excited it was.

When the Three Tailed Wolves were hunting the old deer, Rolly had watched with intense focus, even transforming from excitement.

It clearly admired the Three Tailed Wolves greatly, and immediately perked up when Su Bai mentioned raising their Wolf Cubs.

“Understood!” Ye Jiu and the others responded in unison.

“Be careful. If you’re discovered, retreat immediately. Safety is most important.” Su Bai cautioned.

“Understood.” Ye Jiu and the others jumped down from the tree.

Cang Shi watched them leave and asked curiously, “Shaman, why do you suddenly want to raise their cubs?”

“You’ll see in due time.” Su Bai smiled.
