Chapter 1562: The call of the wilderness
In fact, when Zhang Zian smelled and tasted it, there was nothing special about the egg white bar. It didn’t smell good, and it didn’t have any texture to it, even for modern people who had been spoiled by various exquisite foods.
However, for a wild gray wolf, excluding the new cats, the success rate of hunting under normal circumstances was only one in ten. It often could only eat once a week, and the prey it had caught with great difficulty could only be eaten raw. It had been used to the hard-to-gnaw bones and the hair that stuffed its teeth. When it suddenly encountered such a soft and nice smell, it could not help but smell it again and again.
It saw that Zhang Zian and the other Elfins were eating this thing. It hesitated for a while, and finally couldn’t resist the appetite in its stomach. It tried to put the egg white bar in its mouth, and almost swallowed it.
“There’s also this,”
Zhang Zian knew that the gray wolf was a camel. It often didn’t eat for a week and ate a week’s worth of food at a meal. An egg white stick was definitely not enough to satisfy its appetite, so he threw it a bag of torn beef jerky.
The gray wolf couldn’t resist the strong aroma of the beef jerky at all. It finished the beef in a few seconds without hesitation. Then it licked its mouth expectantly and stared at Zhang Zian.
He opened another can of red braised meat. He was not even willing to eat it himself. After opening it, he drooled.
He definitely couldn’t throw an open can over, otherwise the soup and meat would spill on the ground. He shook the can at it twice and placed it on the ground half a meter in front of him, signaling it to come over and eat.
As a canine, even Zhang Zian couldn’t resist the smell of red braised meat. The gray wolf stared at the can, and after a few moments of hesitation, it finally came over and put its mouth into the can. It finished the meat in a few bites and even licked the soup clean with its tongue.
To it, the taste of the meat was a little strange. It was different from the raw meat it often ate, but it was so soft that it felt like it would melt in its mouth.
“No,”
Zhang Zian spread out his hands, indicating that even if you looked at me again, I wouldn’t be able to take it out.
Actually, he still had more, but how many cans could fill this Wolf’s appetite? It was simply a bottomless pit.
An adult gray wolf could eat 9 kilograms of meat in one meal, and could be called the king of appetites.
The gray wolf waited for a while, but when it saw that he had no intention of taking out more food, it had to turn around and take a few steps back. But this time, it was half lying on the ground, raising its injured hind leg, and sticking its head into its crotch, licking the wound with its tongue.
Snowy Lionet’s cut wasn’t too deep. After all, the arm was short, so it only cut the skin and didn’t hurt the nerves or bones.
People from the older generation said that saliva could disinfect, and when children were injured, they would lick their wounds. The reason was that when animals were injured, licking their wounds would heal them. In fact, there were two situations for this.
When an animal was injured, perhaps it was an accident, or perhaps it was bitten by other animals, the wound was already very dirty. Licking it with the tongue could indeed have a positive effect, at least it could clean the wound. But if the wound was not dirty to begin with, licking it with the tongue would only have the opposite effect.
As for people, licking their wounds was just a false rumor. It was better to wash it with running water than lick it.
Zhang Zian took out hydrogen peroxide and bandages. As soon as he tried to get up, gray wolf immediately stood up alertly and stared at his movements.
“Help you bandage it?” He used the bandage to wrap around his arm a few times as a demonstration.
Gray wolf did not seem to understand what he meant.
Forget it. After all, it was a carnivorous beast, not a herbivore like a deer. It was too dangerous to deal with wounds. Moreover, the wound didn’t look deep and had stopped bleeding. It would probably be fine even if it wasn’t bandaged.
The deer had been scratched by the bear’s hook-like claws. The wound was very deep, and it would not stop bleeding if it was not bandaged.
Speaking of deer, the herd of deer had retreated to a safe distance when the gray wolf appeared. They didn’t know wolves, but their intuition told them that they were dangerous.
This also proved that the wolves were new to the mahogany forest Park.
Zhang Zian put the hydrogen peroxide and bandages back into his bag.
It wasn’t good to stay here all the time. He stood up and beckoned to the Elfins, ready to continue.
The elves had always wanted to find the killer who had killed the cats. At first, they wanted to take revenge, but later, they wanted to see the killer’s face. Now that they had seen it, there seemed to be nothing they could do.
Old time tea said that killing without teaching was torture.
Now that they had beaten the wolf up and even killed it, would it understand why it had to be beaten and killed? Of course not, so this was also abuse.
Since they couldn’t communicate or kill, there was no point in staying.
They had rested enough, so they planned to leave with Zhang Zian.
The gray wolf watched their movements and stood in place without saying anything.
At this time, famous and gray Wolf’s ears moved at the same time, as if they had heard something.
“Wolf howl!”
Famous said, staring in a certain direction.
“How come I didn’t hear it?”
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Zhang Zian also felt that it was nonsense. His hearing was far less sensitive than the Elfins ‘. He must have not heard it because he was too far away.
Famous could hear the howls of wolves, but it couldn’t understand the meaning. After all, dogs and wolves had been separated for tens of thousands of years, enough to form two completely different language systems.
Gray wolf listened for two or three seconds, then walked in the other direction.
Zhang Zian and famous exchanged a look, and famous nodded, meaning that it was in the direction of the wolf howl.
“Let’s go and take a look. ”
He waved his hand to have the Elfins follow.
Because the gray wolf’s hind leg was slightly injured, it couldn’t run fast or walk on the particularly rugged road, so it wasn’t too hard for Zhang Zian and the others to keep up.
Snowy Lionet had been pestering fina to wipe its face.
“Zi ‘an, I’m afraid this Wolf is going to meet up with the other wolves. It doesn’t seem safe to chase after it.” Old time tea said worriedly,”besides, this Wolf can’t tell us what we want to know, and I don’t think the other wolves can tell us either.”
Why would wolves bite specific cats to death, and why they would rather starve than eat them? this was something that he and the elves could not understand.
Zhang Zian pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked a strange question,””I can’t hear the Wolf’s howls, but you can. Can you be sure that it’s a real Wolf’s howl?”
This question stupefied the elves.
“If it’s not a real Wolf’s howl, then it’s a fake Wolf?” Famous asked.
“I can’t say for sure. I just think it’s possible.”
He explained as he walked.
If hunters in North America wanted to kill coyotes, they first had to find coyotes, but how do they find them?
Coyotes can use their cries to communicate over a long distance, so hunters thought of a way to record the cries of other coyotes and then play them at the ambush spot. This often attracts coyotes, and they call this method a “Coyote call.”
If this method could attract coyotes, would someone use this method to attract gray wolves?
