Chapter 1: The ...... of Siberia Wolf?
Siberia in winter is a world of ice and snow with an extremely harsh climate.
From the Ural Mountains in the west, to the Chukotka Peninsula in the east, to the Arctic Ocean in the north, to the mountains of north-central Kazakhstan in the southwest, to Mongolia and the Trans-Khingan Mountains in the south, with an area of about 13 million square kilometers, except for the southwest end, the vast Siberia is almost all in Russia.
And near the border between Russia and China, in a vast coniferous forest, a pack of ferocious Siberian wolves hunted.
An adult male elk struggled to escape, and six or seven Siberian plain wolves of different coats chased after him at a speed of nearly 65 kilometers per hour.
Glancing back at the chasing wolves, the male elk who had survived in this taiga for a long time knew that the Siberian wolves would not sprint for too long, and as long as they held on for a while, the wolves would stop the pursuit due to physical exhaustion.
In fact, it was the third time it had been hunted by this pack of Siberian wolves, and the first two times it had narrowly escaped.
As a prime-aged elk with the best physical strength and survival experience, it has the confidence to escape again.
Sure enough, after a sprint, the wolves behind him began to slow down slowly, and the male elk knew that he was about to succeed!
But the world is often very cruel.
The elk, attracted by the wolves behind it, did not notice that in the snowdrift not far in front of it, a pair of unruly blue eyes were staring at its neck.
Han Shiqi is hunting for the first time today.
Previously, he had been in charge of caring for his younger siblings in the pack as a young wolf, and now he is also involved in hunting as an adult.
That's right, the white-haired Siberian wolf ambushed in the snowdrift is named Han Shiqi.
Han Shiqi was originally from Jiangsu Province, China, and passed away in a car accident within a few months of graduating from university and joining the workforce.
emmmm……
It's hard to put it into words, and being reborn as a Siberian wolf may not be considered dead.
Because the name is relatively close to the husky, Han Shiqi had a nickname called Erha when he was in school.
Looking at the approaching elk, Han Shiqi was a little lucky, fortunately he was not reborn as a second ha, otherwise he would be kept in captivity at home every day as a furniture destroyer and walking emoji, it would be really boring.
The corners of his mouth grinned into a smile like an Internet emoji, and Han Shiqi didn't know that he looked a little different from his own wolf.
The Siberian plain wolf is the ancestor of the Siberian Husky......
However, Han Shiqi didn't know this, and his attention was all on the elk running at high speed.
At the moment when the elk turned its head, Han Shiqi moved.
Han Shiqi, who quickly sprang out of the snowdrift, bit the elk's neck with great precision, his sharp teeth pierced into its flesh effortlessly, and the smell of blood instantly filled his taste buds, making him extremely excited.
The wolves that were originally hanging behind the elk arrived quickly, and after a busy long time, they finally had a harvest.
This winter's snowstorms were harsher than usual, and the shortage of food allowed the wolves to expand their foraging range, resulting in an increase in the chance of contact with humans.
However, it seems that the wolf king made the right decision, Han Shiqi's rare snow-white fur is a good natural hiding color in this snowfield, coupled with a slightly larger body size than the adult wolves in the group, and the patience and cunning of a competent hunter, he has grown into an important member of the group.
Well, now any adult wolf in the group is an important member of the group, after the elk was hunted, Han Shiqi's position was firmly consolidated, and after eating according to the order of the group's hierarchy, the wolves would eat the remaining half of the elk and drag it to the lair.
In the past, leftover food from winter was either buried in the soil or hidden under the ice-covered dead grass as a backup food for later use.
But this year, there is a severe shortage of food, and several young wolves in the den are waiting to be fed, and Han Shiqi's reborn wolf mother was injured a few days ago when hunting, and the group needs to bring this food back.
Even if the wolves are well fed and drunk, they are still very vigilant.
There are more than wolves as predators on the Siberian ice sheet.
The Siberian tiger, which is 3.4 meters long and weighs three to four hundred kilograms in adult males, is the most terrifying existence.
Although the Siberian tiger in the wild is almost extinct, the leader of the wolf pack seems to have discovered the footprints and scents of the real king of the Siberian ice field other than humans by experience.
However, the Siberian tiger has disappeared for a long time, and the biggest threat to the wolf pack is the humans with shotguns.
There was no danger along the way, and when he was about to approach the lair, the leader of the wolf king suddenly stopped.
"Whew~"
The glow of the silver moon shone down, and the leader howled at the entrance of the ruined lair, the cry mixed with a thick desolate sound.
Han Shiqi came to the entrance of the lair in a frenzy, his mother, his younger brothers and sisters were all gone, and the smell of blood and gunpowder remained on the ground.
The muscles on his face were tense, Han Shiqi knew that the wolves would migrate to other places next, and the risk factor of continuing to survive here was too high, and the entire wolf pack would be wiped out if he was not careful.
The wild population of the Siberian plain wolf has been hunted for many years and is now an endangered species.
The leader of the pack will not let the entire pack die here.
Although Han Shiqi knew that the leader's decision was correct, he still had the illusion of luck in his heart.
Wolves still have the possibility of survival, although Maozi has a tradition of hunting wolves, but young wolves may be domesticated by them.
It is not uncommon for Maozi to raise bears and wolves, and it can be used as a capital for himself to brag about it, and posting it on the Internet can cause a lot of topic heat.
Turning his head to look at the departing wolves, Han Shiqi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he ran alone towards the human town along the footprints and wheel tracks of Maozi.
Damn, wolves are dead, they won't die for thousands of years, with my wisdom, I don't believe that I can't save them from Maozi's hands!
Han Shiqi, who graduated from a third-rate university in his previous life, thought so......
It is true, however, that the reborn may all be different from ordinary people.
Although Han Shiqi has not found any system or grandfather since he was reborn as a wolf for a year, he still has something different from ordinary Siberian steppe wolves.
For example, he is very large, and the Siberian Plain wolf is average, with a body length of about 1.1~1.3 meters (without a tail) and a weight of 40 kilograms.
Compare huskies, huskies are medium-sized dogs, bear dogs weigh between 20-27 kg, female dogs 16-23 kg, bear dogs shoulder height 53-58 cm, female dogs 51-56 cm.
Han Shiqiru, who is close to adulthood, is now 1.5 meters long and weighs about 45 kilograms, and there is still room for further development.
In addition to this, his bite is stronger than that of the wolves in his pack.
He bites off elk's bones like a chocolate bar, and the elk's thick bones don't affect his chewing at all, and his bite is more than twice as strong as that of his own wolves.
The speed at which he had to run, although he had maintained the same speed as other adult wolves for most of the hunt, was the result of his deliberate suppression, and if it weren't for the fact that the first hunt had to learn to cooperate with the herd, he could easily kill this elk alone.
And that's just what he observes to be different from the wolves in his pack.
Not......
Forgot about this......
I looked back at the big tail that dragged behind my back.
With a casual push, his tail was able to turn up......
I can't be a dog!!
After being reborn, Han Shiqi began to suspect wolf life for the first time.
