"What's going on? How is there a wolf howl?"

Zhuang Rui, who was sleeping, was awakened from his sleep by the terrible wolf howl, and hurriedly turned over and walked out of the tent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Bad thing, there are wolves around here, I guess it's going to disturb the wild horses......"

Battle and the others all got up one after another, and when they heard the wolf howl, the faces of several steppe people were worried.

"Big Brother Battle, this pack won't be surrounded and eaten by wolves, will it?"

Zhuang Rui has seen the ferocity of the steppe wolf, although it has happened for many years, but now that he thinks about it, he still has palpitations, if it wasn't for Zhou Rui's full preparation, it is estimated that his party would have died under the wolf's kiss.

"Surrounding?"

After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Battle showed a strange smile on his face, and then said: "Brother Zhuang, now is not the time before liberation, the steppe wolves are almost extinct on the prairie, this is summer, there is a little room for them to live, but this wolf pack is three or five to death, how can it surround the wild horse herd?"

Due to the development of modernization, the living space of grassland animals has been further compressed, and the number of wolves is almost rarer than that of wild horses, which is also caused by the change of the underlying biological chain.

In fact, the decline of the wolf population is not a good thing for the savannah, just like the Australian pastures, in the forties and fifties, the wolf extermination campaign was carried out, so that the wolf pack was almost extinct, but then they introduced a hare, and then disaster came.

Due to the lack of natural predators, hares multiply very quickly in Australia, while the grass in the pastures is decreasing at a visible rate, turning bare everywhere.

The Australian government had no choice but to import wolves, snakes, eagles and other natural enemies of hares, which slowly reduced the harm of hares to the grassland.

There are signs of this trend in the Mongolian steppes, but in recent years, steppe people have been paying attention to the protection of grassland carnivores, and as long as there are no incidents of wolves attacking pastures, few hunters take the initiative to hunt wild wolves and other animals.

"The plan seems to be changing, the horses will definitely be alert when they hear the wolf howling, let's stop sleeping, get our things ready, maybe we will move with the horses again......"

Battle looked very depressed, and when he turned around to clean up the tent, he was still muttering, "It doesn't make sense for a few wild wolves to go to the horses to die?"

After packing up the tents, the people led the horses and walked closer to the horses, and the sound of the wolf howl became clearer, as if it was ahead.

"Stop, I know how to turn around......"

After walking for about half an hour, Battle in front suddenly raised his right hand clenched into a fist and signaled the people behind him to stop advancing.

Timur was also very familiar with the terrain here, so he looked around with a look of clarity on his face, and said: "Brother Battle, this is the Wild Wolf Valley, right? It seems that the horses occupy the wild wolf's den, so this is the ...... of conflict."

Battle picked up the binoculars and observed for a while, nodded and said, "That's right, but the wild horses did not occupy the wolf's den, but blocked the wolf's way in and out of the wolf's valley......"

"Really, where is this group of horses not easy to choose, but here is it?"

Zhuang Rui took the telescope in Battle's hand, looked straight ahead through the moonlight, and couldn't help laughing.

More than 400 meters in front of him, you can clearly see the shadows of many horses lying or standing, and behind these horses, there is a valley, about thirty or forty meters high, this kind of terrain is very rare in the grassland.

As for the few steppe wolves that made a terrible cry, Zhuang Rui didn't find them, but judging from the outward direction of some horses on the periphery of the wild horse herd, they should be hidden in the dense grass directly in front of the herd.

"It's strange, these wolves don't need to fight with the wild horses, won't it be over when they are gone and then go in?"

Listening to the howl of the wild wolves becoming more and more miserable, Zhuang Rui was a little puzzled in his heart, as Battle said, the number of wild wolves will definitely not exceed five, and there is really no need to impact this wild horse herd.

You must know that wild horses are not domestic cattle and sheep, and they have no power to fight back against the attacks of wild wolves, on the contrary, the attack power of wild horses is probably not weaker than that of wolves, and if their four hooves kick on the wolf, it will definitely make it lose its combat effectiveness.

What's more, if these more than 100 wild horses rushed together, let alone three or five wolves, even if they were several times more, they would only be trampled into pulp.

"It is estimated that there are wolf cubs in the wild wolf valley, so these wolves are in a hurry......"

After observing for a while, Battle, who was extremely experienced in the grassland, opened his mouth to answer Zhuang Rui's question, and only this answer was more reasonable, otherwise with the characteristics of a cunning creature like the steppe wolf, he would never provoke an enemy stronger than himself.

"So what are we going to do? Wait here?"

It's only two o'clock in the morning, and although watching the stars on the prairie is something that many couples look forward to, you know that this is not a place that can make people feel happy.

Not to mention anything else, it is those mosquitoes that are used to wreaking havoc in the middle of the night, which makes Zhuang Rui a little unbearable, even if he is wearing long-sleeved trousers, but he can't stand the uncovered things on his neck and face, and after a while, he gave himself several slaps.

"Wait a little longer, if there are really wolf cubs in the valley, these wild wolves will not be able to help it, and when the time comes, as long as the horses are messed up, our chance will come......"

Battle didn't care about the mosquitoes that were buzzing in his ears, and his eyes were staring at the herd of wild horses facing the wolves in front of him, a situation that was rare even for a steppe man like him.

After Zhuang Rui heard Battle's words, he could only close his mouth, and he didn't even say anything to the little girl of Wuyun Qiqige, what did he have to complain about.

"The wolves can't help it......" Suddenly, Battle's face became excited.

Sure enough, just as Battle finished speaking, a howl came from the wolf pack, and a low figure sprang out of the grass and ran towards the wild horses.

Zhuang Rui's telescope was immediately aimed at the wild wolf, and at first glance, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

This wild wolf is really not very big, not even as big as some local dogs in the countryside, covered with gray hair, only the two eyes that glow with a bright green light can make people feel a little cool.

The wild wolf came out of the grass, and suddenly made the wild horse herd a little commotion, and a few wild horses on the outermost periphery were uneasy to dig the grass in front of them with their front hooves, after all, this herbivore and carnivore themselves have a qualitative difference, and that fear is also innate.

"Restoration of the ......"

Suddenly, a neighing sound of horses resounded through the world and came out from the wild horses, and the sound was so loud that it seemed to be thundering from a flat bottom, and it exploded the entire grassland.

The sound was so loud that Zhuang Rui and the others, who were a few hundred meters away, were a little shocked, could this be made by horses? Even a few horses beside Zhuang Rui showed uneasy looks.

"This is the head horse, it seems that I still underestimate it, it is a lot better than the red-blooded breed......"

Battle had a solemn look on his face, and if he was still six or seven percent sure of capturing this head horse, now that he heard this neighing, his expectations in his heart immediately dropped to thirty percent.

Because Battle found that when the head horse was looking up to the sky and neighing, his red blood eyes also showed a panicked expression, which is the performance that only the weak will have when they see the strong.

"I saw it, oh my God, what a beautiful horse......"

As soon as the neighing sounded, Zhuang Rui used his binoculars to find the owner of the sound, and it was not difficult to find the head horse, because no horse dared to approach five or six meters around it.

This is a wild horse with a bright red body, the hair on its body is extremely short, only at the neck, there is some fluffy hair, and its eyes are as black as glue, standing there motionless, staring at the wild wolf running in the distance.

The height of this head horse was much taller than the wild horses around it, and Zhuang Rui measured it to be about one meter eight to two meters, standing there bathed in the moonlight, like a heavenly horse, majestic.

"This ...... I'm afraid it's a mixed Dutch horse, not as good as this horse, right?"

Zhuang Rui once watched horse racing in Hong Kong, and the horses used there were all mixed breeds from the Netherlands or England, which were characterized by their tall and handsome builds, but compared to the horse in front of him, it was as inconspicuous as a local dog.

Just as Zhuang Rui was observing the head horse, the wild wolf also approached the horses, and behind the wild wolf that ran out first, two wolves followed, one in front of the other and one behind the head horse in a triangle.

It seems that the steppe wolves will also use tactics, knowing the truth that the thief captures the king first, as long as this horse is defeated, the entire wild horse herd will collapse without a fight.

The distance between the two was only a few tens of meters, and in just over ten seconds, the wild wolf that was the first to run out came to the front of the head horse, and after letting out a menacing low roar from his mouth, his body jumped up and pounced on the head horse.

Seeing this scene, the wild horses around the head horse were a little commotion, but the head horse was very calm, and when the wild wolf pounced, the premise suddenly rose.

As if knowing the power of the horse's front hooves, the wolf turned and changed direction in mid-air, but his body came to the buttocks of the head horse, stretched out his claws and grabbed the head horse's buttocks.

When wild wolves hunt for food, for those animals that are much larger than them, they often cut the skin of the prey from the abdomen or buttocks, and then scratch out its intestines and bleed to death.

This wolf was clearly in this idea, and its tactics were successful, seeing that the claws had already caught the hips of the head horse.
