225 Chapter 147
On the other side, a fiery wolf claw also penetrated deep into the goshawk’s head, burning its entire head into charcoal from the inside out.
The hunting time belonging to the wolf pack was completely activated.
These birds of prey that only had ordinary strength were completely no match for Su Hui and Su Ming, not to mention when they were tied up by the shadow rope.
They pierced through the opponent’s chest, dug out the opponent’s heart, or tore open the opponent’s neck, pulling out the opponent’s back bone.
What’s more, they slapped down from the neck with all their strength, completely separating the head of the bird of prey from its body.
In a short span of ten minutes, dozens of birds of prey with ordinary strength were slaughtered by Su Ming and his wolves, leaving no survivors.
Su Ming licked the blood at the corner of his mouth and looked at the sky to his right. That was where the elite grassland condor stopped to observe.
The other party had long been scared out of their wits. They did not dare to fight with the giant wolves. After seeing the Golden Condor’s death, they flapped their wings and flew into the distance.
Su Ming did not intend to pursue them. This would not only exhaust their remaining physical strength, but it would also be meaningless.
The four Wolves’main goal was to take back the giant snow ridge spruce that belonged to them. The second goal was to exterminate this group of birds of prey.
Since they had already taken care of most of the birds of prey, there was no need to chase after the Grassland Condor.
Su Ming could take care of the other party at any time. He was not in a hurry.
At the moment, cleaning up this battlefield was their priority.
Su Ming turned around and let out a low growl. He ordered Su Yi to take out the life core from the Golden Eagle’s corpse.
Then, he brought the other two wolves and dragged the broken bird’s corpse to the giant tree. He was prepared to place it around the giant tree and use it as nutrients for the further growth of the [ heart fruit ] .
“Pu”
The shadow rope successfully entered the golden eagle’s corpse. After some groping, he successfully took out the blood-stained life core and wrapped it up before hanging it behind Su Yi.
After completing this task, Su Yi also joined the team that dragged the corpse.
It first controlled the shadow of the giant tree and lifted the golden eagle’s corpse to prevent it from getting close to the trunk.
Looking at the giant body of the golden eagle being dragged into the soil by several branches of the giant tree, Su Yi then turned around and went to help brother Bai and the others move the other corpses.
After working for dozens of minutes, the four wolves finally managed to drag the remains of 33 birds of prey and nearly a hundred human corpses into the bottom of the giant tree.
The soil churned and countless corpses appeared. They wound around the corpses of the creatures around them and brought them into the depths of the soil, providing a large amount of nutrients for the giant tree.
Su Ming looked at the mutated fruits above him. Their silvery-white appearance was gradually fading away and was replaced by a layer of golden skin.
With more than thirty mutated birds and hundreds of human corpses as nutrients for the ancient tree, it should be enough for the [ heart fruit ] to develop for a period of time.
Perhaps in the near future, Su Ming and the other wolves would be able to harvest the fully matured [ heart fruit ] .
“Awooo!”
Su Ming looked around and let out an impassioned wolf howl, declaring his sovereignty over the giant tree.
Then, he also left his wolf aura near the giant tree to prevent other mutated creatures from stepping into it.
After making preparations before leaving, he brought the other three wolves out of the giant tree area and rushed towards the wolf den.
Su Ming had yet to make a decision on whether to give the newly obtained life core to the four wolves for their own use or to teach the rest of the pack to advance.
He planned to think about it after returning to the interior of the cave.
As for the location of the human camp, Su Ming planned to wait until the next morning before rushing to that area. He planned to hide in the bushes and prevent them from going into the forest to obtain the source of the food.
In a fundamental sense, he would cut off the human food and water resources. When the group of humans was about to collapse, the wolf pack would bring food and water and appear in front of them, su Ming wanted to use the human side to make a big plan.
As he pondered over his future plans, the four wolves quickly returned to the cave.
The eldest brother and the second brother guarded the entrance of the cave, guarding the duty of preventing other creatures from entering the cave.
Although it was impossible for any creatures to go against the wolf pack in their current territory, they still carried out their original duties.
After seeing that the four wolves had returned, the two wolves excitedly went forward and greeted them.
Since the human invasion, Su Ming and the other wolves had been running outside and rarely returned to the cave. It was no wonder that the two wolf brothers were so excited.
After greeting the wolf brothers, the four wolves walked into the cave.
Compared to the wolf group’s previous nest, the lighting here was quite good. Even when it was close to sunset, there was still good light.
The wolf father lay on the ‘bed’in the center and quietly rested. Fallen leaves took care of the other party at the side and replaced the second brother’s original task.
The five active brothers followed the wolf mother out of the cave, going out to hunt and patrol the territory.
The Golden Eagle’s life core belonged to the elite rank 2 class.
Considering that the group needed at least three cores to satisfy all the members’advancement needs.
Su Ming decided to give this life core to the group’s companions to eat. This way, the four wolves would have enough high-level combat strength to protect the group when they left the protected area, there was no need to make them worry too much.
Taking advantage of the free time before eating at night, Su Ming found a spot and lay on the ground, silently thinking about how to talk to the humans and obtain benefits.
...
Dusk, the human camp.
After running for an entire afternoon, the main force that had retreated finally returned to the camp.
However, what everyone saw was a smoke-filled, damaged area.
Zheng Xinglong’s eyes widened as he looked at his surroundings. He did not understand why the appearance of this place had changed so drastically after only leaving for a short period of time.
“Not good! !”
Lieutenant Colonel Liu, who was beside him, seemed to have realized something as he hurriedly brought major Wang to the area where the infantrymen war chariots were parked in the distance.
After the two of them left, Zheng Xinglong and adjutant Yu also walked to the center of the camp. The interior of the camp was still considered to be in good condition.
Opening the curtain at the top of the door, Zheng Xinglong saw First Lieutenant Lin who was sitting on the seat in a daze.
The other party’s face was pitch black, and his camouflage uniform was stained with a lot of dust, as if he had walked out from charcoal.
Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, First Lieutenant Lin turned his head and saw Zheng Xinglong and Second Lieutenant Lin who had just walked into the camp.
He let out a bitter laugh and greeted the two of them.
“Captain Zheng, Second Lieutenant Lin.”
Zheng Xinglong Strode over and questioned the other party.
“What exactly happened, First Lieutenant Lin?”
Hearing the other party’s question, First Lieutenant Lin took a deep breath and then exhaled heavily before opening his mouth to speak.
“The wolf pack attacked this place...”
From the other party’s description, Zheng Xinglong and Yu Zhenglin could be considered to have completely understood what had happened in the camp when they were no longer there.
Following Lieutenant Lin’s narration, the shock in the eyes of both of them grew stronger and stronger. In the end, it even turned into fear.
They humans had actually been played by the Giant Wolf?
Swallowing a mouthful of water, Zheng Xinglong calmed himself down and asked in a calm tone.
“How are the casualties? How much food and water are left? How are the medical resources?”
Lieutenant Lin replied with a bitter face, “54 people died and 32 were injured. All the resources, including the guns and bullets, were destroyed by the giant wolf. Only this bag of gauze was retrieved by me with my life.”
He took out the bag of gauze that had long been blackened by the smoke and displayed it in front of the two of them.
“What! ?”
This shocking news reached Zheng Xinglong’s ears.
One had to know that there were still more than a hundred people who needed timely medical treatment.
“It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault. Captain Zheng, please punish me.”
Lieutenant Lin suddenly stood up and kneeled in front of Zheng Xinglong as he apologized.
Zheng Xinglong naturally could not bear the other party’s behavior. He hurriedly brought adjutant yu beside him and helped him up.
“Eh... compared to apologizing, I think we should consider the question of survival more, Lieutenant Lin.”
Zheng Xinglong sighed and could not help but think about the question of the future of the camp.
Right now, let alone going back to snatch the giant tree, even their survival had become a major issue.
