Chapter 32, Hunting

Most of the Steppenwolves living in the desert are mutated Arabian wolves and Iranian wolves, which belong to the gray wolf family.

Steppenwolf is found all over the world, not only in deserts, but is able to survive in some extremely harsh environments and is very adaptable.

Most of the Steppenwolves that Ding Xiu has seen are between 1.2 meters ~ 1.5 meters long, and their body shape has changed a lot compared with before the mutation, and their fangs and claws are sharper.

As the F-class mutant creature at the bottom of the mutant creature ranking, this ranking does not truly reflect the ferocity of Steppenwolf, because F-class is only an evaluation of a single Steppenwolf, in fact, they are almost always in groups.

There is no doubt that a group of F-rank Steppenwolves definitely have the strength to challenge higher-level mutant creatures. Unless the way of fighting is crushed, like Steppenwolf encountering mutant mole crickets at night.

Steppenwolves living in the desert have grayish-yellow fur that looks like a protective color when they move on the sand, and they have large ears that help dissipate heat from their bodies.

Ding Xiu was familiar with their habits, and the old captain Zhang Rongshe had taught him a lot about hiding from wolves in the desert.

Once he learned how to hide, he knew how to find it, and Ding Xiu didn't spend much effort when he found the Steppenwolf pack. It was a piece of Gobi Desert on the edge of the defense zone, and he tracked it all the way, and finally found a wolf pack of more than thirty steppenwolves.

The wolves were resting at the moment, and several of them were interested in the car parked in the distance.

The wolf howls echoed in the pack, and then one of the largest Steppenwolves suddenly let out a long howl, and the crouching and lying wolves all stood up.

Ding Xiu had followed Zhang Rongshe to fight the wasteland wolves before, and there were several of them at that time, and the size of the wolves was not so large.

This time on the Gobi Desert, Ding Xiu did not choose an ambush, because the conditions of the ambush were very harsh, and he did not have so much time to prepare.

Directly facing the oncoming pressure of the wolves, Ding Xiu's heart was a little excited. In the past, he would never dare to come to the door alone to challenge this number of wolves, but his abilities and war paints gave him courage and an inexplicable self-confidence.

The ability can be exercised in battle, Ding Xiu doesn't know if the power of the war paint is the same, he took the initiative to hunt Steppenwolf today, the purpose is not only the crystal nucleus, but also intends to further test his ability.

The value of the reaction on the genetic ability tester can be used as a reference for ability, and the result in actual combat is the most intuitive embodiment of ability. If Ding Xiu and Sang Gan had tested them with a genetic ability tester before the battle, the ability value of Sang Gan obtained in the instrument would definitely crush Ding Xiu.

But Ding Xiu almost killed him in a second.

From crushing to being counter-killed, there is only a second in between, and this second, no instrument can tell you.

The Steppenwolves didn't rush towards Ding Xiu's car, they just approached slowly. These guys are very alert and suspicious, and tend to adopt a wait-and-see strategy when a non-hunting target suddenly appears nearby, and then wait for an opportunity to move.

Ding Xiu set up his gun on the car door, he had already locked on to the target in the wolf pack. When the largest wolf king appeared in the sight hole, and its head coincided with the crosshairs, the gunshots rang out.

The moment the trigger was pulled, the gunshots flew towards the head of the leader of the pack, along with the bullets, but the cunning Steppenwolf reacted in advance by the fire at the muzzle, and it quickly dodged to the side, dodging the shot with incredible movements.

"Damn!" Ding Xiu cursed, and then fired several shots. After the first shot missed, he stopped aiming because the wolves began to accelerate.

Just now, Ding Xiu wanted to capture the thief and capture the king first, so the first bullet ran towards the wolf king. The wolf king has absolute dominance among the wolf pack, and as long as the wolf king is there, the wolf pack will be like a rope twisted together.

Therefore, Ding Xiu planned to take the lead in killing the wolf king, so that the combat effectiveness of the entire wolf pack would be greatly reduced, so that its actions in the short term could not be unified, so that it would be easy to break them one by one next.

It's a pity that the wolf king is not an idle person, in addition to its size is larger than other steppenwolves, its own reaction speed to danger is also amazing. At a distance of several hundred meters, the bullet definitely arrived before the sound, and if the wolf king relied on the sound of gunfire to dodge, then it had already been shot in the head by Ding Xiu at the moment.

Judging danger by the light of the muzzle of the gun is an instinct that can only be exercised between life and death.

Ding Xiu's active attack angered the wolf king, and even the entire wolf pack became restless. They ran towards Ding Xiu's car with the roar of the wolf king, and in the process of running, they even knew how to change direction and move irregularly.

When the distance was reduced to two hundred meters, Ding Xiu only had time to knock down the three Steppenwolf, he put away his gun, raised the glass on the door, and quickly started the car with his foot on the accelerator.

The wolves thought that Ding Xiu was going to escape, and they chased after them under the orders of the wolf king. Ding Xiu sat in the car, carefully keeping the distance between the body and the wolves.

The wolves behind them raised bursts of yellow sand with their four paws as they ran, and if you looked down from above at the moment, you could see them changing their formation as they ran.

The main force led by the wolf king was bitten behind the car, and two other groups of Steppenwolf separated from the group and began to accelerate from the flank.

Ding Xiu saw the intentions of the Steppenwolf pack clearly in the reflector, and the wolves' tactics were invincible against other creatures, but this time they encountered Ding Xiu, and Ding Xiu also drove a car that was very adaptable in the desert terrain.

"Want to surround me? It's not that easy. Ding Xiu snorted coldly, and said with a smug face: "Lao Tzu is hanging you, which is to slowly consume your physical strength." ”

Although the wolves are cunning, they are limited by their own intelligence, so they cannot detect Ding Xiu's true intentions. They swarm and chase after the car, which is a sign that their opponents are far inferior to them.

With only one car, the Steppenwolf pack didn't pay attention, and they once attacked teams with more cars and turned the convoy into food for themselves.

Steppenwolves can run at a maximum speed of about 70 kilometers per hour, but they can only maintain a maximum speed of 3 to 4 kilometers per hour, beyond which they will gradually slow down.

Ding Xiu's purpose was to consume their physical strength, so he always hung them unhurriedly.

After running a certain distance, the speed of the wolves slowed down, and the two groups of Steppenwolves that had been separated to outflank them began to return to the group.

The regrouped wolves continued to follow Ding Xiu's car, blowing like a whirlwind across the golden dunes.

"Yes!" Ding Xiu was a little surprised by their resilience, perhaps it was the previous shot that angered the wolf king, causing the wolves to drop out of the car under its leadership, and they were in hot pursuit, with a great posture of not dying.

If at this time, there was an experienced driver to help Ding Xiu drive, he was completely sure that he could use the vehicle's mobility advantage to kill the group of Steppenwolf kites.

Dante Xiu was alone, unable to aim his gun at the wolves behind him while driving the vehicle.

Draining the wolves' stamina was the best he could think of, and when the wolves began to get tired, it was time for him to fight back.

I don't know if the wolves' physical strength began to decline, but after the car ran a certain distance, Ding Xiu found that their speed had slowed down.

When the wolves stopped chasing, Ding Xiu also stopped the car.

"You brutes, it's my turn." The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and the front of the car had already turned.

Those Steppenwolves had their mouths open and their tongues sticking out, and their eyes were slightly tired. Still at a distance from them in the previous chase, Ding Xiu lowered the window and put his gun on the door again.

The wolves stared at the muzzles sticking out of the car windows, and they were calm and calm.

"Something is wrong!" Ding Xiu frowned, but still decisively pulled the trigger.

Several Steppenwolves fell in response to the gunshot, and the others suddenly sprang towards the car like arrows from the string.

"Holy! You still have the stamina to sprint?! Ding Xiu was shocked, and secretly said that it was not good. Previously, when shooting, he was able to calmly collect his gun and hang the wolves behind him because of the distance between the two sides.

But now the wolves were only a few dozen meters away from him, and at their highest speed, they could pounce in a matter of seconds.

When Ding Xiu was calculating the wolves, he didn't expect the wolves to be calculating him. By the time he could react and start the car again, several Steppenwolves had already pounced on the car.

A steppenwolf crawled on the hood, its hind feet slightly bent, and kept gnawing at the frame of the front windshield, Ding Xiu's vision was blocked by it, and he couldn't shake it off if he swayed left and right.

In desperation, Ding Xiu had to slam on the brakes, trying to rely on inertia to throw it out.

There were also two steppenwolves jumping on the roof of the car, and at the moment Ding Xiu braked, they were thrown to the sand along with the companion in front of the car.

Ding Xiu's feet were just about to change to the accelerator, when suddenly the glass on the side of the passenger side shattered, and a black and yellow shadow jumped in.

The hot breath exhaled from the wolf king's mouth was almost about to spray Ding Xiu's face, and just when the wolf teeth were still a little distance from his neck, he instinctively raised his gun to block it.

The wolf king's mouth bit down on the gun, and there was a screeching sound rubbing between the fangs and the metal.

After its body pounced, it almost occupied half of the cab, but fortunately, Ding Xiu's reaction was fast enough to block the bite with his gun.

The narrow space was not conducive to Ding Xiu's fighting, and it also restrained the wolf king's body, Ding Xiu immediately made a decision and kicked it in the abdomen.

The weakness of the canine family is in the abdomen, Ding Xiu's kick is just right, and the wolf king let go of the gun in his mouth in pain. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ding Xiu hurriedly pushed the car door and rushed out.

Rolling on the ground to unload the momentum of the pounce, Ding Xiu stabilized his body and found that the surrounding sand was already full of Steppenwolf.

In the cab behind him, the wolf king was in a downward swooping pose, and a faint fierce light burst out of his eyes.
