Chapter 192
He suddenly realized that it must have been a wasp sting, and it had probably been there for a while, which was why the bump had turned into a lump.
So, what grudge do these wolves have against the wasps?
Shi Wen felt he was about to guess the truth, so he beckoned the other wolves to come forward.
The wolves looked at their Wolf King, then at Heiwa.
Heiwa responded with a calm gaze, displaying the demeanor of a big shot.
Seeing that neither objected, the wolves lined up to go forward.
Shi Wen, a group of wolves would stalk past, and on their bodies, bumps would be found, more or less. Upon closer inspection, the bumps were exactly the same as those on the previous wolf, and they definitely looked like wasp stings.
No wonder they were so enthusiastic today.
"If the wasps sting you again, tell the Wolf King, and we'll destroy the wasp nest," Shi Wen said, patting the heads of the wolves under his command with a smile.
The wolf howled again, its voice noticeably softer than before.
The Wolf King could no longer tolerate this and stood up, howling at the wild wolf, "Awoo!"
The Wolf King, having been well-fed and glossy on the ranch, had grown much larger, and now, when he roared, he appeared even bigger and fiercer.
The wolf didn't dare to do anything, and quickly lowered its head, tucked its tail between its legs, and walked forward a few steps.
Everyone sat under the tree to rest. Perhaps they had eaten their fill, or perhaps they were tired enough from the morning, as they were all a little drowsy.
They each held a baby in their arms and dozed off under the tree.
Even Chasing Clouds had landed, nestled beside Shi Wen, and closed her eyes.
After resting for more than half an hour, Shi Wen opened his eyes and found that he had leaned on Yan Kexing's shoulder at some point.
He reached up and wiped his mouth.
Yan Kexing chuckled and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, I didn't drool."
Shi Wen whispered back, "It was just a subconscious action. But my butt seems a little wet."
Shi Wen stood up as he spoke. He sat on the damp grass, and the fabric around his buttocks was slightly damp from the wet grass, but not to the point of leaving marks.
Yan Kexing patted his bottom. "It's okay, you can't tell. It'll dry quickly if you walk around."
The others were awakened by their noise and stood up.
Everyone touched their mouths more or less, it seems they were all worried about accidentally drooling while asleep.
Shi Wen couldn't help but laugh Shi Wen this scene.
Zhu Ji: "What are you laughing at? Why are you so happy?"
Shi Wen looked up and asked, "Are you sure you want to know?"
"No, no." Zhu Ji waved his hand quickly when he saw the dangerous look in his eyes. "Just tell Old Yan, I'm not interested in your lovey-dovey antics."
Everyone laughed.
Shi Wen glanced at his phone. "It's almost two o'clock. Let's continue looking for hornet's nests. We'll go home around four. We've been in the Linzi for too long today."
No one had any objections.
Ge Yue stretched lazily. "Should we still split into two teams and continue searching?"
Shi Wen, "That works too. One team will follow Chasing Clouds, and the other will follow Wolf King. That'll be more efficient. Chasing Clouds, you go that way, Wolf King, you go that way."
The herbivores walked slower, following the group that Chasing Clouds.
The carnivores then quickly ran after the Wolf King.
The tranquil Linzi suddenly came alive again, with Shi Wen bouncing around a couple of times. "Let's go, let's continue looking for hornet's nests!"
Before they could separate, the loud barking of dogs and wolves suddenly came from ahead.
Shi Wen can now understand the cries of her little ones; they definitely don't mean they've found a hornet's nest, but rather something else entirely.
This thing probably poses some threat to the little guys, otherwise their cries wouldn't be filled with such a strong warning.
Shi Wen on the spot and Yan Kexing.
Yan Kexing: "There might be other wild animals. Let's go take a look."
Wild animals are relatively rare these days. If you bump into one, it might be a protected species, and we can't let the little guys cause trouble.
So, without bothering to split into two groups, everyone rushed towards the direction of the little ones' cries.
When they were several dozen meters away, they saw a wild beast surrounded by the little creatures.
The beast was covered in brown fur, but its face was white.
Zhu Ji glanced at it, then asked hesitantly, "A wild boar?"
The beast did indeed look very much like a wild boar, or more accurately, a wild boar cub.
Shi Wen shook his head in objection, "No, it looks like a badger, the kind from the Mustelidae family, genus Badger."
Seeing that everyone still looked blank, Shi Wen said, "It's a badger."
Chapter 192
Shi Wen the word "chalk," they generally know what kind of creature it is.
Peeking through the gaps in the branches, Ge Yue whispered, "I didn't expect there to be badgers here."
Gong Jiang: "Theoretically speaking, there should indeed be badgers here. Perhaps the Wolf King and the others were howling so loudly that they stirred up the badgers."
Ge Yue: "Very likely."
They were talking quietly on one side, when suddenly the badger surrounded by the little ones let out a "neigh," then turned and pounced on the little ones.
The dogs at the front of the encirclement reacted almost immediately, turning and running away, with the Wolf King being the fastest.
The dogs parted to follow the White Tiger atop its back.
The White Tiger roared and pounced, then the badger dodged to the side and scratched the White Tiger with its paw.
The scratching didn't cause the White Tiger much harm; White Tiger wasn't afraid at all, staring at the badger that had scratched it, and continued forward.
The badger, using the force of scratching the White Tiger, jumped to the side and then let out a big fart at the White Tiger.
The fart dispersed into a visible mist, instantly enveloping the White Tiger.
The White Tiger immediately turned its head away, but it was too late. It painfully tried to wipe the foul liquid from its nose with its paws, then opened its mouth and dry-heaved on the spot.
