Chapter 148 Outwitting the Wolves

Suddenly, there were whispers in the cave.

"The wolf is coming, has he fallen into the trap?"

"I heard the wolf howling. It's at the entrance of the cave."

Shen Yuanbao even said, "Grandma, do we have wolf meat to eat again?"

However, no one was panicking. Everyone was full of confidence, as if this was not a wolf looking for meat, but meat that was delivered to their doorstep.

Shen Youyou was impressed by the generosity of these people.

The men stood up, picked up their swords, machetes and other weapons and went to the partition of the cave to meet Shen Zhiqiu.

Through the gaps in the partition, you can see pairs of green eyes, emitting creepy light.

"Little Sanzi, there are probably more than 30 wolves here, it's a big pack!"

Hunter Gao reminded Shen Zhiqiu in his ear that the wolf howls matched the ones he heard last night and the number was about the same.

In fact, there were a total of forty wolfs outside, including the leader.

Everyone used the light of the snow to observe the movements of the wolves outside, while the leader wolf was also using his hearing and sense of smell to observe the situation in the cave.

People say that dogs have good noses, but wolves’ sense of smell is even better!

Hundreds of times more than humans, a wolf's nose is equipped with about 200 million olfactory receptors, while humans only have about 5 million.

This allows wolves to easily track and identify scents miles away from them, making it convenient for them to find prey by smell, mark territory and communicate with other wolves.

Wolves can hear sounds with frequencies up to hertz, while the human hearing range is usually only around hertz. They can hear high-frequency sounds that humans cannot detect.

It also allows wolves to pick up the faint sounds made by other animals, allowing them to better track and hunt prey.

Therefore, the movements in the cave could not be hidden from these hungry wolves at all, and they had already confirmed that there were many preys in the cave, which was very starving for them.

It was quite a sumptuous dinner.

Following a wolf howl, the wolves received the command and rushed towards the cave with their sharp teeth bared.

These wolves are all skinny and bony. It is obvious that they are not having a good time as the number of animals has decreased due to the drought.

The other wolves hadn't taken a few steps when they felt their feet go soft and they fell directly into the trap, like dumplings.

Suddenly, the wolf's howling sounded like chaos.

The leader wolf saw that something was not right and immediately gave orders, and the wolves behind him that had not yet fallen into the trap stopped their actions.

There were also wolves who braked in time and bumped their teammates straight into the trap.

In fact, the bamboo mat on the trap set by Shen Zhiqiu and his team was designed to be a flip-top type.

If a wild wolf stepped on it, it would fall into the trap due to its weight. However, the mat was covered with dirt on the side facing the cave, so it would not fall directly into the trap.

This also led to the situation where the wolf would fall in without a big pit and the bamboo mat would still be on top.

Even if the wolf falls into the bamboo and is not pierced by holes all over its body, it will die immediately and it will not be easy for it to climb out.

The leader wolf became more cautious, sniffing the scent on the ground carefully, and kept sniffing around the bamboo mat where the wild wolf had been trapped before.

Through the bamboo mat, it can easily smell the bloody smell and can also distinguish that it is the smell of its own kind.

It bared its fangs and let out a suppressed roar from its throat. The sound was like a threat to its prey, telling it to just go into its mouth and not resist too much, or else it would die miserably.

The bamboo mats of these traps were not connected, so when the wolf fell into the trap, there was no snow, and the snow fell into the trap along with the wolf.

But in other directions, those where there were no wolves, the snow was still there and there was no sign of any problem.

The leader wolf stepped on the snow, circled around the exposed trap and growled. This time, it issued more cautious orders.

Shen Zhiqiu and the others could not understand the wolf howls, but it was not difficult to guess the instructions of the leader wolf.

Because several wolves scattered and charged from different directions.

But there is no doubt that these wolves fell into the trap one by one, which obviously angered the wolf pack.

Suddenly, the howling of wolves was heard everywhere.

Now there are forty wolves, and only half of the number are left.

Shen Zhiqiu and the others could almost see the greed and hatred in those pairs of green eyes.

Although the trap was effective, no one cheered at this time, because it was obvious that the wolves below would either turn around and run away or jump over.

Although wolves are relatively bulky, they are famous jumping champions in the animal kingdom!

Wolves can easily jump a distance of about five steps, and their agility is astonishing.

So even though the trap was two steps wide, Shen Zhiqiu knew clearly that if the wolf jumped now, the trap would be completely unstoppable.

At this time, the leader wolf outside was obviously unwilling to leave after losing so many of its followers, but it also became more cautious.

Those green eyes seemed to have a hint of cunning in addition to being cold and murderous.

Of course, it was pitch dark here, so Shen Zhiqiu and the others definitely couldn't see the wolf's eyes clearly, so they had to rely on their imagination.

"Looking at the shapes of these wolves, they seem to be very vicious and will definitely not give up easily."

At this time Shen Zhichun said in a low voice.

Shen Zhiqiu said: "It's better not to give up. If they turn around and leave now, we need to worry more. So many wolves died here. Wolves are the most vengeful and will definitely come again. If we don't notice it at that time, it will be really dangerous."

Li Quan agreed with Shen Zhiqiu's words: "My son-in-law is right. If a wolf turns back, there must be a reason. It is either to repay a favor or to seek revenge."

Hunter Gao also nodded and said that wolves are the most vengeful animals and not even one should be let off.

Shen Mazi held the big knife in his hand: "They are just wandering around and not rushing up. What should we do?"

Shen Zhiqiu stared at the figure of the wolf leader:

"Wait a little longer. If they choose to jump, this trap won't be able to hold them. We, the ones with long weapons, will be in the front.

Try to keep your distance from them and stab them directly with your weapons. When the wolves are in a panic and have no room to run, they will fall into the trap. "

I have to say that Shen Zhiqiu's idea is really good. Even if a wolf can jump very far, it still needs space to run. Without space to run, it has to face sharp weapons stabbing from all directions.

If you panic and don't know where to go, the probability of falling into the trap again is very high.

Even many men have figured it out now, grinning: "These beasts dare to jump over, so they will never come back."

It was at this time that the leader wolf gave orders again, as if they really had a language to communicate that humans could not understand, and the rest of the wolves moved aside to leave a clear passage.

A little wolf took advantage of the passage to run, and then jumped up next to the bamboo mat where there was no snow.

Not surprisingly, the wolf easily got past the trap.

Shen Zhiqiu spoke up immediately: "Get out, let's all get out before they all come over. Remember what I just said."
