086 Northern Predators
Lawrence came to the river with a hoe, and a group of gray beasts appeared on the ground more than a hundred meters away.
Wolf!
Lawrence held his breath and watched carefully at the ten wolves in the distance.
All the wolves were as white as snow, and the wolves seemed to have spotted Lawrence and were watching this side with vigilance.
Neither side acted rashly, Lawrence was not very tall, but he was a deterrent to the wolves with a hoe.
The snow wolf is also not big, and the two strongest ones are just over a meter tall.
Individually, these wolves are not as tall as the previous three sled dogs.
However, Lawrence was careful not to provoke them, they were much more dangerous than the three sled dogs.
The snow wolves didn't seem to want to fight Lawrence, and the strong head wolf quickly whined warning at Lawrence's side.
The nearby wolves soon began to lazily turn their heads and walk towards the forest on the other side.
They seemed to be on a walk, and they didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, but they did avoid Lawrence and not fight Lawrence.
Lawrence looked at the area where the snow wolves had gathered, where the moose had been before.
The intestines and pieces of flesh that had been discarded there had been licked clean by the wolves, and there was not much to be seen, including the ice slag with blood stains, only a faint trace of blood that had once been.
Lawrence waited in place for more than ten seconds, his eyes looking into the trees opposite, revealing a thoughtful look.
Soon Lawrence patrolled around the stone house again.
The location was very good, the place where the stone house is located is uneven slope, the north side is more rugged, there is a long slope of more than 30 meters, and the south side is a relatively gentle soil slope pine forest.
To the southwest and southeast are lower mountain forests, with large gray pine forests that can be seen, and large snowy mountains, which are clearly in the lower area but higher than here, separated by a low valley forest and a steep slope.
Although the location of the descent is on this side, and the stone roof facing south is relatively gentle, this is only part of the road in front of the house, and the road leading to the bottom of the mountain is very difficult to walk, and Lawrence has always taken a detour from the north side.
It is difficult to walk in a straight line in the mountains, unless the road is opened by slings and bridges, which can save a lot of detour time.
Wild beasts also make detours, and when the snow melts, the river forms a barrier.
"Maybe you can draw a river from west to east around three sides, so that you can mainly defend one side."
"Those wolves are willing to leave quietly at present, which proves that they are not hungry enough to take risks, and from the healthy bodies of those wolves, it does not look like they have been hungry for a long time, the food in this mountain forest has always been relatively abundant, and they can eat enough to eat mice, so there is no need to fight to the death with the barbarians."
"But I can't take it lightly, I will have to raise cattle, sheep and livestock in the future, and I also have children at home, so it is a bit too childish to use river protection."
"If you have time, it's better to build four walls to enclose this place."
"Or maybe practice your bow skills and kill those wolves!"
Lawrence walked around in silence and returned to the stone house after making sure it was okay.
The room was happily busy, with Saliel and Sophia still cutting and sorting the moose meat.
This big guy who can make a normal family survive the winter, it will take at least two or three days to deal with and preserve it if it is just one person.
Sophia saw that Lawrence was back, greeted her, and said, "Master, the meat is almost ready, I'll go make dinner." ”
Lawrence felt that he had just finished his lunch, and then remembered that he hadn't eaten in the morning, because he was busy carrying moose, and he waited until after noon.
Normal winter should be the time to eat, sleep, drink and grow fat, it seems simple, but this is the ultimate enjoyment that many barbarians and southerners dream of.
"Sariel, I just went to Binghe and saw a pack of white snow wolves."
Lawrence told Sarri what had just happened, and wanted to learn from Sariel about the dangers of those snow wolves.
Sariel jerked to her feet, blood-stained pieces of flesh in one hand and boning knives in the other.
"White wolf?" Sariel's face was excited, "Snow wolf's skin is the most beautiful color I've ever seen, and I've always wanted to make a beautiful and warm white dress!" ”
"I'll look for it!" Sariel quickly dropped the pieces of meat and the knife, quickly picked up two axes from the box where the tools were kept, and rushed straight out.
Lawrence quickly shouted, "Don't go, there are a lot of them!" Almost ten wolves! ”
"That's great!" Salil quickly rolled over and jumped on the Dom sheep who were resting and grazing outside the door, and rushed straight out of the river.
Lawrence couldn't rest assured, it was better to use a hoe at this time, so he picked up the hoe again and said to Sophia: "Sophia, you close the door, I'll call Sariel back." ”
Sophia nodded obediently, "Yes!" ”
Lawrence takes a dagger and a hoe, as well as a rope and a dom sheep out to find Sariel.
The location where Sariel went was clear, it was the place where the snow wolf appeared before.
Lawrence braved the cold wind and ran towards the river, the evening sun already hanging over the hills, and it would not be long before it set.
"It should be fine, those wolves are long gone."
Lawrence comforted himself, after all, Saliel has a lot of strength, not only is she good at peeling sheep and killing sheep, but she is also not soft when killing people.
"Whew!"
A terrible scream came from a distance, and Lawrence soon saw Sariel, who was sitting on the back of a sheep, and the snow wolf who was fifty meters away.
There were two snow wolves on the ice, one was slashed by Sariel's throwing axe, and the other quickly ran away.
This time Lawrence saw Sariel's movements, and Sariel bent over as she rode the sheep into the ice, her arms and body tilted parallel to the ice.
She decisively threw the remaining axe at a rapid pace, and then quickly sat down.
The axe quickly spun and stuck to the ice, sliding accurately to the snow wolf's feet as it flew up a large amount of snow to obstruct it.
At this time, Saliel rushed to the side of the snow wolf who had been killed earlier, and directly picked up the axe and threw it at the fallen snow wolf in the distance.
Throat! The axe hit the ice near the snow wolf!
Although it didn't hit the stumbling snow wolf, it was obviously frightened, and its legs and feet slipped on the ice.
Saliel quickly got off the sheep's back, ran over and pinned the snow wolf to the ground and beat him severely.
Lawrence rode the Dom sheep slowly close to the place where the moose had been, and found that there were signs of gnawing here, and there were obvious signs of gnawing teeth on the blood-stained ice slag.
Lawrence looked at the snow wolf not far away who had been struck in the waist by an axe, the two wolves had apparently come to eat leftovers, and then were hit by Sariel.
"It should be my relationship, I didn't clean up here, and those snow wolves thought that I had taken away my satisfactory prey, so they thought the rest belonged to them."
The logic of the beast should be like this, robbing and being robbed, compared to hunting, how to keep one's prey is also a troublesome thing.
Saliel walked back by the tail of the snow wolf and shouted happily, "Lawrence, these two are my prey!" ”
Lawrence said calmly: "Sariel, we are now a family, and the prey of the family belongs to the collective, belongs to you and me and Sophia, you can't not use it for me and Sophia just because you hunted, will he enjoy the prey brought back by your father from hunting?" ”
Sariel felt that Lawrence was right, "That's true. ”
That's how families should be, and Sarile takes Lawrence's advice.
Lawrence said, "Let's go home, or Sophia will be worried." ”
"Good!" Sariel quickly put the two snow wolves away.
One on his own domes, and the other on Lawrence's domes.
Lawrence asked, "Will those snow wolves get revenge?" ”
"Revenge?" Sariel looked puzzled.
Lawrence found that his problem was a bit silly, and there was no idea of revenge from others in the barbarians' dictionary, only their share of revenge.
If these snow wolves have the racial characteristics of retaliating against the barbarians at any cost, then one of them and the barbarians will definitely be extinct.
The main reason for Andrew's inefficiency in hunting is not technology, nor weapons, but that he can't meet the kind of prey that will stand stupidly and not run.
Except for humans, all other animals knew how to run in the face of sturdy savages, and they smelled Andrew's manly scent from a long distance.
Animals in the snow and ice have a keen sense of smell, and because they live in cruel areas where it is easy to die, they will avoid confrontations with males, especially males in their prime.
Lawrence wasn't strong, but the beasts seemed to tell him to be male.
As the top predator in this area, the petite snow wolves will stalemate for a short time to judge the gap between friend and foe when facing male barbarians, and once the other party does not leave or takes the initiative to roar over, then they must flee quickly.
Otherwise, those two snow wolves who were easily killed would be the end.
In the pine forest in the distance, the snow wolves quietly watched the departing figures of the two barbarians, and let out a lonely whin.
They are grieving for their dead companions.
But after a few short seconds, they begin to turn around and walk into the depths of the pine forest, running for food and offspring.
The strength of the brute made many young snow wolves realize that they should leave as soon as possible when they encounter this creature, and they will soon summon more dangerous predators to come over.
