The next morning.
After Chen Wen got up, he checked the state of the smoke furnace.
The fish and rabbit at were both smoked dry and cooked, ready to eat or store as provisions.
As Chen Wen took out the smoked at, the Short-tailed Weasel eagerly found Chen Wen and said, "Hey, human! You have so many mice here!"
Hearing this, Chen Wen laughed and said, "Of course, did you fill your belly last night?"
"Stuffed!"
The Short-tailed Weasel said.
These days, as Chen Wen stored food, the scent attracted mice from miles around.
Even his dried fruits were a favorite of the mice.
If it weren’t for the lack of energy at night, Chen Wen would have dealt with this horde of mice himself.
Speaking of mice, Chen Wen advised the Short-tailed Weasel: "Next ti, if you catch more mice, rember to leave one or two and not eat them. Then I’ll trade you fresh at for them."
Mice don’t interest Chen Wen much, as he currently has enough food supplies.
But he’s very interested in casually eating so to enhance his stats.
Hearing this, the Short-tailed Weasel nodded, indicating he understood.
At this mont, the Wolf Mink and Red Fox approached.
The two animals received their breakfast of pike from Chen Wen and ate them eagerly before heading out to hunt.
Since Chen Wen did not need to go hunting today, the North Arican Gray Wolf went along with them.
On one hand, to guide the cooperation of the Wolf Mink and Red Fox in hunting, and on the other hand, it also needed to go hunting and eat sothing.
It doesn’t particularly like fish at.
Finally, after the Short-tailed Weasel burrowed into the shelter to sleep, only Chen Wen and the Eagle were left active in the camp.
"You..."
Looking at the Eagle, Chen Wen thought for a mont and said, "Do you rember the place we encountered yesterday?"
The Eagle nodded slightly upon hearing this.
"Go check the forest over there, if there are dead rabbits or trapped rabbits, let know when you co back."
Chen Wen said.
The Eagle flew straight over, it wouldn’t take long, assigning it to check traps was reliable.
The Eagle rembered Chen Wen’s command and flew away.
As the last animal left, only Chen Wen remained in the camp.
Chen Wen looked around and felt there were a few things to do in the morning.
One was routine camp maintenance: collecting firewood, fetching water, cleaning.
Additionally, Chen Wen planned to build a bed.
Food is still quite abundant, and the traps are still effective.
He planned to build a bed to improve his quality of life.
Sleeping on the ground every day can be endured for a short ti, but if he really sleeps like this for a hundred days, he wouldn’t be able to stand it.
Besides that.
Chen Wen intended to process so of the animal leather he had previously stored to see if he could make so small items.
For example, those stored rabbit skins could be made into gloves or hats.
Speaking of gloves, the outer skin of the bear paws he had cleaned earlier, Chen Wen had also thrown into the shelter, almost forgetting about them.
"Today’s task is clear, fill in the gaps and solve the previously overlooked minor tasks."
Chen Wen said as he started to get busy.
...
As Chen Wen busied himself with work.
The Wolf Mink, Red Fox, and Old Wolf ford a strange combination.
The Wolf Mink took the lead, relying on its strong sense of sll to search for prey.
The Old Wolf was in the middle, following the Wolf Mink and vigilantly observing the surroundings.
The alert Red Fox was at the rear, following the Old Wolf while also being cautious of any movents behind.
This was the walking strategy chosen by the Old Wolf under Chen Wen’s advice.
The most powerful Wolf Mink led the way, and the most vigilant Red Fox acted as the rear guard.
Whether they discovered prey or encountered danger, they could react imdiately.
After walking for half an hour.
"I sll sothing, it’s a rabbit!"
The Wolf Mink stopped, looked at the Old Wolf and said, "Old Wolf, what should we do?"
Since Chen Wen suggested the Wolf Mink follow the instructions of the Old Wolf and Red Fox, the Wolf Mink had completely given up on thinking.
The Old Wolf cautiously asked, "Is it far? Are there any other animals?"
The Wolf Mink shook its head: "I didn’t sll any other animals, but it might be because I can’t sll them."
"As for the distance, it’s not far, we’ll be there soon!"
Upon hearing this, the Old Wolf looked at the Red Fox: "What do you think?"
The Red Fox’s eyes flickered: "Let’s take a look, if there’s no danger then let’s act!"
The two brains made a decision, and the small group began their action.
Soon, led by the Wolf Mink.
The hunting group ca to a bush.
The Red Fox stuck its head out from beneath the bushes, the Wolf Mink was above the Red Fox’s head, and the North Arican Gray Wolf extended its head above the Wolf Mink’s.
Three animals, their heads stacked, observing the situation ahead.
The Red Fox spoke first, lightly asking, "Did you see the situation ahead? I can only see shadows..."
Upon hearing this, the Wolf Mink nodded: "It’s a rabbit, but it’s different from the ones we encountered before."
The Old Wolf added: "Those were long-legged rabbits, they often gather in groups, larger and more aty, but these are short-legged rabbits, they only flock during the coldest or just warming periods, usually acting alone, small with less at."
This made the Wolf Mink frown: "Shall we ignore it then? Not enough at for us to eat!"
"Haha, at is at regardless!"
The Old Wolf glanced at the Wolf Mink and couldn’t help but laugh.
This guy is still young and hasn’t experienced much.
When belly hunger truly hits, not only rabbits with little at, but even bones without at, one must chew and swallow to replenish energy.
North Arican Gray Wolves live relatively long, in the wild for seven or eight years, in captivity they can live seventeen or eighteen years with no problem.
While Wolf Minks have much shorter lives.
They typically live five or six years.
This Wolf Mink has only lived for a little over two years, compared to the seven or eight years of the Old Wolf, it’s indeed just a child.
Upon hearing this, the Red Fox did not oppose.
It doesn’t refuse at that cos its way.
The Old Wolf thought for a mont and devised a plan with the Red Fox.
The Red Fox and Wolf Mink slowly maneuvered to the side of this unfamiliar rabbit, while the Old Wolf remained in place, waiting for the signal from the Red Fox and Wolf Mink.
A mont later, with the Red Fox and Wolf Mink spraying scented liquid one after another, the Old Wolf let out a howl.
The three animals simultaneously launched an attack.
The rabbit, surrounded by the three animals, heard the Old Wolf’s howl and instinctively tried to escape in the opposite direction.
But before it could run a few steps, the Wolf Mink lunged from the shadows of the bushes!
It snarled fiercely and pounced on the rabbit.
The rabbit quickly dodged.
It was too fast!
The Wolf Mink missed and felt puzzled.
This rabbit was different from the one they had encountered before!
How co it’s so quick?
Before the Wolf Mink could react, the rabbit turned and fled.
With the Wolf Mink on this side, and the Old Wolf behind, the rabbit instinctively ran towards the quietest side to escape.
But it didn’t know the Red Fox was already lying in ambush in the bushes.
As the rabbit swiftly approached, the Red Fox suddenly pounced out.
It let out a sharp cry, pinning the rabbit to the ground.
Then, the Red Fox opened its narrow mouth and bit down on the rabbit’s body.
anwhile, the Wolf Mink rushed over and locked its mouth around the rabbit’s neck as it struggled.
By the ti the Old Wolf hobbled over, the rabbit was already bitten to death by the Wolf Mink.
"Not bad, a little mistake, but didn’t affect the big picture."
The Old Wolf happily remarked.
The Wolf Mink released its grip on the rabbit’s neck, proudly glancing at the Old Wolf: "Am I amazing?"
The Old Wolf smiled without answering but instructed the Red Fox: "Put it on my back, let’s continue looking for food, gather more and head back together."
