Chapter 231: Scout Snowflake
A group of people finished hunting and were preparing for a barbecue. Having been in the Central Plains for a long time, the places they usually came to were forests. They had never seen such a grassland before.
“Although the environment is a bit harsh, the scenery of this grassland is indeed beautiful.”
Some, filled with inspiration, even started reciting poetry and painting.
Suddenly, something whizzed past them on the grassland not far away.
“That is… that looks like the three white wolves from Shahe City.”
The three white wolves from Shahe City would leave a deep impression on anyone who saw them.
“What are they doing?”
“Could they be out hunting?”
“Quick, quick, let’s follow! This is a rare sight.”
They had hunted in the mountains before, but they had hunting dogs with them.
They were completely incomparable to those three wolves.
They quickly rode their horses to follow, forgetting about the barbecue they had prepared.
But the three wolves were too fast; their horses couldn’t keep up!
Wolf Xiaofeng and the others naturally noticed the people following behind them. They paid no mind, simply increasing their speed and leaving the humans further and further behind.
After running for a while, they found their hunting targets.
The scent of prey wafted through the air. Following this scent, Wolf Xiaofeng and the others ran for a bit longer before spotting a small herd of antelopes in the distance.
They observed the distance and did not continue running. Instead, they skillfully found a hill to hide behind.
Snow Wolf’s blue eyes intently stared at the antelope herd below, observing patiently before confirming their hunting targets.
Once confirmed, the three wolves separated with tacit understanding, approaching the antelope herd from different directions.
…………
With Red Butterfly leading the way, Qin Wanwan had no worries about not being able to find Wolf Xiaofeng and the others.
However, on the way, they encountered a group of young masters who had lost track of Wolf Xiaofeng and the others.
Upon seeing that tall red steed, their eyes lit up.
Their gazes were extremely fervent, as if looking at a great beauty.
They wanted it.
But they knew the horse belonged to General Xie and only dared to think about it in their hearts.
Those sent by their families to do business here were not foolish. They could not afford to offend General Xie, who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops.
And this was on someone else’s territory; they might as well die if they provoked them.
However, upon seeing the little milk bun on the back of the red steed, their mouths twitched uncontrollably.
Such a large horse, with such a small person on it.
What a strange combination this was.
Since they had met, they decided to say hello.
“Greetings, everyone. My surname is Bai, and my given name is Xunan. Are you looking for those three wolves? They did indeed come this way. I had wanted to witness their majestic hunting prowess, but unfortunately, we lost track of them.”
They spoke towards Wolf Fang.
After all, among this group of people, there were a few more foreign than Wolf Fang, speaking in gibberish that was completely incomprehensible.
They instinctively felt that such a small child like the young man could not communicate anything too complex.
Although Wolf Fang looked like a mixed-blood, he appeared to be the young lady’s guard and should understand Central Plains Language.
While they did slightly look down on Wolf Fang’s mixed-blood status, they didn’t show it on their faces.
To their surprise, that person actually didn’t speak!
Bai Xunan frowned slightly, finding this rather impolite.
“Are you talking to Wolf Fang?”
Qin Wanwan asked in her childish voice.
Bai Xunan’s gaze fell upon the young lady.
She looked to be only four years old, yet her speech was clear.
He also knew the identity of this young lady; he had seen her on the street that day, being held by General Xie.
He had specifically asked someone to inquire about this young lady’s identity afterwards.
Xie Chong’s daughter.
“Yes, but…”
“This is too rude! Brother Bai was speaking to him; he should have at least responded.”
The person behind Bai Xunan was the first to express his displeasure.
“Do not be rude.”
Bai Xunan was not angry.
Having dealt with all sorts of people in the business world, he wasn’t angered by the young man’s behavior, but he did feel a sense of being ignored.
Qin Wanwan explained, “But Wolf Fang can’t speak.”
Bai Xunan and his companions were stunned for a moment before they realized that the young man was actually mute.
“Apologies.”
Wolf Fang merely glanced at them indifferently.
Qin Wanwan said, “Bye-bye! We’re going to find Wolf Xiaofeng and the others.”
Bai Xunan’s eyes flickered slightly. “Are you going to search for those three wolves? May we accompany you?”
“Yes, but you cannot disturb them while they hunt.”
The group repeatedly guaranteed this and finally followed on their horses.
When they found Wolf Xiaofeng and the others, the three wolves were dividing their labor for the hunt.
Standing on the hill, those with good eyesight could clearly see how they cooperated to drive their prey out of the antelope herd, and then seize the opportunity to bite through the prey’s spine or neck.
This scene made Bai Xunan and the others’ blood boil with excitement.
“Amazing!”
“These wolves are so smart. I’ve heard that wolves hunt cooperatively and each has their own role. If there were more wolves, perhaps this hunt would be even more spectacular.”
With only three of them, the full splendor of a wolf pack’s coordinated hunt couldn’t be displayed.
Three wolves captured three antelopes.
And they were all adult, large antelopes.
The antelope herd had already run far away without looking back.
Seeing that the hunt was over, Qin Wanwan had Little Red lead them down.
Hearing the hoofbeats, the white fur around the wolves’ mouths was still stained with fresh blood. Their ears perked up, and they warily looked in their direction.
But upon seeing who it was, they relaxed their guard, even raising their heads proudly with their prey, and walked over to Qin Wanwan to present the deceased antelopes.
Eat up, Big Treasure!
Qin Wanwan petted the three wolves’ heads, making the people from the Wolf Tribe and Bai Xunan and his group extremely envious.
They also wanted to touch them.
Qin Wanwan said, “I’m not eating now. You guys eat quickly, and after you finish, we’ll go find Big Goldy.”
Upon hearing this, the three wolves each took an antelope and went to a slightly more distant place to begin gnawing on them.
The scene was a bit bloody, so they didn’t want Big Treasure to see it.
Qin Wanwan rode her red horse and trotted around leisurely.
“Caw!”
Hearing the familiar eagle cry, Qin Wanwan looked up, took a whistle from the small pocket on her clothes, and blew it.
This pocket on her clothes was sewn on by Wanwan herself, specifically to hold small items.
She could even sew sachets, so a small pocket was easy to manage.
The whistle blew, and soon Sea-Eastern Green Snowflake’s figure appeared.
Qin Wanwan lifted her little arm, and the Sea-Eastern Green immediately landed.
“Snowflake, you’re so heavy.”
With the Sea-Eastern Green perched on her arm and riding a large horse, even though Qin Wanwan was still a tiny milk bun, she looked quite formidable.
“As expected of General Xie’s daughter, possessing his demeanor at such a young age.”
“A general’s daughter, truly lives up to her reputation.”
The group behind them added to their envy: +1, +2, +N.
They wished they too had a Sea-Eastern Green perched on their arm; it was so majestic.
This trip was absolutely worth it.
At this moment, Qin Wanwan was exchanging information with Snowflake.
Eagles and falcons were undoubtedly the most formidable scouts on the grassland. They had excellent eyesight, a wide field of vision from flying in the sky, and were very fast.
Many things they passed over escaped their notice.
Coupled with Qin Wanwan, who could talk to animals, even at her young age, she would be respected for her abilities in Xie Chong’s army.
Just like now, Snowflake had discovered a troop of Tartars.
