Late at night, Lin Fan was resting in his room.
Suddenly, a wolf howl came from outside.
Almost as a reflex, Lin Fan rolled out of bed and rushed out.
Under the moonlight, in the courtyard.
Dozens of wolves were facing off against the monkey troop led by A Bao.
A Bao stood at the front, extending his chubby paw and waving it, while making a grimacing expression.
He was trying to look fierce.
Beside A Bao, the Monkey King was also making the same demonstration.
Behind them, a group of younger monkeys were ‘chirping’ and making noises, looking like they were ready to fight.
Even the Wild Boar King, huddled in the corner, ran over and made a show of following A Bao’s lead.
The viewers in the live stream were immediately excited.
“Wow! It was worth staying up late in the live stream for! Something big happened in the middle of the night! Time to get hyped up!”
“Holy crap! Isn’t this the wolf pack from last time? Are they here to fight again?”
“Let’s go! Let’s go wild! Everyone, wake up and get hyped! Monkey troop versus wolf pack, just thinking about it makes me excited!”
“No way! Didn’t the wolf pack lose their one-on-one fight with A Bao and leave? Why are they back tonight?”
“Revenge! What else could it be? It can’t be that they came back to visit A Bao and bring him a late-night snack, right?”
...
Under the moonlight, the wolf pack’s eyes glowed with green, looking especially eerie.
The lead wolf was completely white, with a circle of golden fur around its neck that was particularly eye-catching.
Wasn’t this the white wolf that led the pack to demand the Blood Spirit Mushroom?
Lin Fan recognized the white wolf at a glance.
After all, a white wolf as handsome as this was unforgettable.
But, didn’t the white wolf leave?
Why was it back?
Could it be that after it left, it got more and more upset and eventually decided to come back and steal the Blood Spirit Mushroom?
But that didn’t make sense.
Even if it was still unhappy, it wouldn’t have waited this long to come back, right?
Lin Fan suppressed the doubts in his heart and walked into the courtyard.
The next moment, he immediately noticed something was wrong!
The white wolf was injured!
On the white fur of its right front leg, there was a patch of deep red scabs.
And the white wolf’s stance, its right front leg was clearly bent and unable to bear weight!
？？？
Lin Fan’s eyes narrowed.
This was…
No!
Not only was the white wolf injured, but most of the wolf pack was also injured!
And the wolf pack’s numbers had decreased by a quarter!
Lin Fan, who was good at observation, noticed the wolf pack’s unusual behavior after taking one look at them.
What was going on!?
A huge question mark appeared in Lin Fan’s heart.
“Awoo! (Help, help us.)”
The wolf king saw Lin Fan and a flash of excitement crossed its eyes.
What?
The proud wolf king was actually coming to ask for help?
Lin Fan was stunned.
After a long moment, he realized and stopped A Bao, who was itching for a fight,
“What’s going on with you? How did you become like this…”
“Awoo!”
Before Lin Fan could finish speaking, the wolf king let out a long howl.
The wolf pack parted, and a she-wolf with a round belly walked out, taking slow, labored steps.
The she-wolf’s right hind leg had been broken.
There was a deep wound on her belly, and blood continued to seep out and drip to the ground.
The she-wolf struggled to get to the front and could no longer hold on. She fell to the ground.
Lin Fan clearly saw that there was a slight movement in the she-wolf’s round belly.
This was a she-wolf who was seriously injured and about to give birth!
No wonder the proud White Wolf King had come to him in the middle of the night for help!
The wolf pack had undergone a major change.
Even the she-wolf, who was about to give birth, was seriously injured!
Seeing this, Lin Fan immediately understood.
Without bothering to ask the wolf king what had happened, Lin Fan rushed forward to provide aid.
The she-wolf was clearly at death’s door.
If he waited any longer, even the gods wouldn’t be able to save her!
Wolves were a national Level II protected animal.
As a forest ranger, Lin Fan had a duty to help.
Besides, his brief encounter with the White Wolf King over the Blood Spirit Mushroom had made him admire the white wolf king very much.
Now, faced with the wolf king’s plea for help, he almost didn’t hesitate at all and immediately acted to provide aid.
The viewers in the live stream were immediately dumbfounded.
“What the hell? The wolf king isn’t here to fight, he’s here to ask for help? Did I see that right?”
“Holy crap! This she-wolf is so badly injured! She looks like she’s going to die! What happened to them?”
“That’s the she-wolf! What happened? Even the she-wolf is seriously injured! Wait! The she-wolf’s belly… is she pregnant!?”
“Look at the wolf king’s right front leg! It’s injured! My god! The wolf king and the she-wolf are both injured, and the whole wolf pack is injured!”
“Something’s wrong! Something big is wrong! Something absolutely huge is wrong!”
…
In the courtyard, the monkey troop and the wolf pack were still facing each other, but the tense atmosphere from before was gone.
The White Wolf King was clearly very anxious.
He kept walking back and forth in front of the house, limping on his injured right front leg.
Because Lin Fan had already taken the she-wolf inside to provide aid.
A Bao looked confused, climbing up the steps and lying on the door frame, peering into the room curiously.
Inside the house, Lin Fan was providing aid to the she-wolf.
The she-wolf’s injuries were very serious.
So serious that Lin Fan wondered how she had even lasted this long.
Maybe it was because of the wolf pups in her belly?
Without bothering to think about anything else, Lin Fan began to treat the she-wolf’s wounds.
Then, he was stunned.
Gunshot wounds!!!
In addition to the wounds on her belly and right hind leg, the she-wolf’s back had gunshot wounds!
Two words instantly popped into Lin Fan’s mind.
Poaching!
He finally understood why the entire wolf pack was injured.
Lin Fan had always had a question.
The night the wolf pack came to demand the Blood Spirit Mushroom, they had shown such a high level of discipline, with the pack following orders without question.
In the primeval forest, there really wasn’t any ferocious animal that could bully them to this extent.
Now, seeing the gunshot wounds, Lin Fan instantly understood.
They had run into professional poachers!
The she-wolf’s painful groan pulled Lin Fan back from his thoughts.
He hurriedly pushed those thoughts aside and started to save her with all his might.
…
When the first rays of dawn shone into the courtyard.
Lin Fan, who had been busy all night, finally came out of the wooden house.
In the courtyard, the wolf pack and the monkey troop were still clearly separated on either side.
Only, neither side had any intention of confronting each other anymore.
For once, the Wild Boar King wasn’t driven to the corner by the Monkey King. He was lying beside the Monkey King.
He probably earned the Monkey King’s favor last night when he didn’t hesitate to run over and stand with the monkey troop when the wolf pack appeared.
So, his treatment was upgraded and he was temporarily accepted by the Monkey King.
Of course, he would still have to continue to prove himself.
Otherwise, he would be ostracized by the monkey troop and driven back to the corner.
At this time, seeing Lin Fan come out, A Bao, who had been peeking at the door all night, climbed over and hugged Lin Fan’s leg, his expression filled with confusion.
Lin Fan patted A Bao’s head and turned to the wolf king, who couldn’t help but walk over, saying,
“The big one is saved. I saved one of the little ones… I’m sorry about the other two.”
The she-wolf had three wolf pups in her belly.
Lin Fan, using the spiritual liquid without reservation, had saved the she-wolf’s life and helped her successfully deliver one wolf pup.
As for the other two…
Even though the spiritual liquid was incredibly powerful, claiming to be able to bring back anyone as long as they had a breath left.
But unfortunately, the two wolf pups had already died in the she-wolf’s belly.
A trace of sadness flashed in the wolf king’s eyes, and then he looked up and howled.
“Awoo!”
The next moment, all the wolves in the courtyard stood up and did the same thing, looking up and howling.
Their voices combined into a wave of sound, soaring towards the heavens!
However, in the howling, there was none of the cold-bloodedness of the wolf pack’s usual team hunts. Instead, a sense of tragedy spread!
