Chapter 230: Grassland Hunt
Before, the tribespeople of the Wolf Tribe lived on the snowfield, their strong physiques resisting the cold wind.
However, they would also come down from the snowfield to the grasslands to move about, and even a large area of grassland at the foot of the snowfield mountains was their hunting ground.
Most of the foreigners they rescued were responsible for herding livestock for them.
But due to an invasion by foreigners, war broke out. The foreigners who were herding livestock for the Wolf Tribe survived because they were far away, but the true Wolf Tribe has never reappeared since that massive avalanche.
“The people of the Wolf Tribe are all our benefactors, and it is because of their protection that we can live better. After the Wolf Tribe disappeared, we claimed to be the Wolf Tribe to outsiders, but anyone can see that we do not have the blood of the Wolf Tribe. However, we firmly believe that as long as we can find the Wolf God, it will surely lead us back home.”
Their ancestors repeatedly instructed them, generation after generation: finding the true Wolf Tribe and returning home became their ingrained hope.
Even though they were not true members of the Wolf Tribe, the Wolf Tribe gave them hope for survival, and that was their home.
Qin Wanwan: “But Wolf Xiaofeng and the others have lived with me since they were very young, and they don’t know where the Wolf Tribe is.”
The middle-aged man at the lead, who was also the current Chieftain of the Wolf Tribe, said excitedly.
“We will definitely find them. The true members of the Wolf Tribe and the wolves on the snowfield have a special connection. My father told me this personally, and he would never lie to me. My father said that the members of the Wolf Tribe are the most valiant warriors by the Wolf God’s side, and they will surely lead us back home.”
As he spoke, the Chieftain secretly glanced at Wolf Fang.
“Although I feel that this young brother looks somewhat similar to the people of the Wolf Tribe, it shouldn’t be. My father said all the people of the Wolf Tribe disappeared in that war.”
Qin Wanwan also looked at Wolf Fang.
Wolf Fang lowered his gaze and did not speak.
Lang Xiaoxue, standing beside him, nuzzled his hand.
Qin Wanwan blinked her eyes.
Strangely, the three wolves at home, besides Qin Wanwan, seemed to like Wolf Fang the most from the beginning.
Although Wolf Fang could not speak, he could still command the three wolves.
Their obedience to Father Xie was out of respect for a strong individual, and they would listen occasionally.
Towards Wolf Fang, they were as close as fellow creatures.
Of course, towards Qin Wanwan, it was as if they were cherishing and protecting their most beloved young cubs.
In reality, Qin Wanwan was a bit older than them.
Arriving on the grassland, Qin Wanwan immediately saw a coiled black large snake.
Xiao Hei, due to its appearance and speed, had already gone ahead of them, taking its own serpentine path.
This was a path it had discovered on its own, heading towards places almost no one else went.
“Xiao Hei, come here quickly.”
Hearing her voice, the large snake, its black scales shining brilliantly under the sunlight, crawled towards her.
Snakes, as a species, are said to have an unpleasant fishy smell, and the larger they are, the stronger the smell.
But Xiao Hei did not have it.
This was thanks to its living environment.
After all, the smell of the animals raised at home was much less than that of wild ones, and with the influence of Little Qilin, Qilin had a positive effect on animals.
Xiao Hei also loved bathing very much, and there was even a pond exclusively for it at home, where Aunt Zhang would change its water every day.
In the past, Spirit Pasture Grass was put in the water.
Now, the rose flowers on the wall at home have bloomed, and Aunt Zhang, on the principle of not wasting, has thrown the fallen petals into the pond.
Xiao Hei has the benefit of a petal bath.
Seeing such a large snake, the few people who called themselves the Wolf Tribe were so astonished that their mouths fell open and they took several steps back.
“Large snake, large snake!”
“The Saintess is actually calling that large snake, she is indeed not an ordinary person!”
Then, without further ado, these people started kneeling again.
Qin Wanwan: . . . . . .
Why do they love kneeling so much, don’t their knees hurt?
Xiao Hei crawled over quickly, raised its body upright to the height of Wanwan’s hand, and nuzzled its large head against her little chubby hand.
Qin Wanwan’s eyes curved into crescent moons.
Her Xiao Hei was so cute.
Because Xiao Hei is a snake, apart from when it was young and grew this large, it rarely went out shopping with them.
After all, other animals that go out are fluffy and handsome. Even though they are fierce beasts, they are really cool.
As long as they don’t bite people, people here are very accepting of them, and even want to raise one.
But Xiao Hei is different. It’s such a large snake, although it’s also a very cool and beautiful large snake, snakes inherently have a terrifying effect, and such a large one, most people will only be afraid of it.
Qin Wanwan felt immense pity, poor Xiao Hei.
She took an egg and put it in Xiao Hei’s mouth.
“Let’s go, we’re going hunting!”
I’ll hunt and bring it back for Daddy to have an extra meal.
With so many fierce beasts, Qin Wanwan was spirited and proud, like a little general.
She transferred to Little Red’s back.
Little Red was too tall and too large, and sitting on its back, she looked like a beautiful little figurine.
Qin Wanwan’s exclusive mount, steady and secure.
The other animals scattered in a swarm to hunt, Eagle Boss’s flying posture was very handsome, and Snowflake practically vanished the moment Qin Wanwan told them to hunt, its speed so fast that not even a blur could be seen.
Qin Xiaoe also took to the air, not to be outdone.
When not fighting, its flying movements were quite elegant.
In an instant, only the butterfly on Qin Wanwan’s head, which treated itself as an ornament, and a few bee ‘guards’ remained around her.
Oh, and a few people.
Wolf Fang also stayed by her side.
Little Red trotted slowly on the grassland to make it more comfortable for Qin Wanwan to sit.
“Let’s go find Wolf Xiaofeng and the others first.”
The few animals at home were all fierce beasts. Although they usually stayed together by Wanwan’s side, they immediately separated when hunting on the grassland.
Wolves are pack animals that cooperate, and the three wolves headed in one direction together.
Big Goldy found a direction for itself, and the other animals were no exception.
They all had their own living habits.
“Red Butterfly, go find Wolf Xiaofeng and the others.”
The Red Butterfly on Qin Wanwan’s head flapped its wings and flew off, heading in the direction the three wolves had departed.
Little Red, the steed, trotted along with its hooves.
Qin Wanwan sat steadily.
The grasslands are much livelier now than before. Those merchant caravans from the Central Plains, and the young masters with spare money, wanted to experience the grassland scenery.
So they formed teams with guards and escort agencies to hunt on the grasslands.
“They say the Tartars look fierce and are tall and strong. There are many animals on this Great Grassland, and they live by herding. Can’t they grow tall and strong by eating meat every day?”
“However, it’s difficult to grow grain on the grasslands, and there’s no water source. The grass grows everywhere, and the land isn’t that fertile. How much meat can a few people eat every day?
I heard that those Tartars are uncivilized barbarians who are cruel and cannot farm. So they come to rob us of our Central Plains goods, shameless scoundrels!”
