Chapter 166: Chapter 140: Wolf Pack Hunts, Bloodthirsty Deer Herd._3
“`
Even a Polar Bear had fallen in battle, crushed beneath the hooves of the Reindeer King, its massive head burst open.
Now, facing the charging Reindeer King,
they exchanged glances once more and then, bracing themselves, charged forward to stop the Reindeer King!
But it was all in vain!
Bang!
To Xiao Hui and Cousin, the towering Reindeer King was like a colossal beast.
With just a couple of powerful kicks, they were sent flying twenty or thirty meters away!
Xiao Hui and Cousin were severely injured!
Xiao Hui fared slightly better; as a Variant Species with formidable vitality, even such a heavy blow that nearly shattered its internal organs,
it still stubbornly got back to its feet.
But Cousin’s wolf body began to convulse violently on the icy snow,
as blood gushed from Cousin’s mouth in great spurts.
The remaining Xiao Bai and a few from the Bear Clan were also scattered by the charge of the Reindeer King!
Even another member of the Bear Clan was torn to shreds by the Reindeer King!
Blood sprayed into the air!
The Reindeer King was too powerful!
After leading the herd in a charge, without lingering,
it trampled one or two daring Wolf Clan members who tried to block its way and then led the herd away from the area heavy with the stench of blood.
Because the Reindeer King knew its “Talent” time was nearly over!
Once the herd lost the Talent boost, they would be vulnerable again and fall prey to the Wolf Pack.
So it was essential to leave early, heading north,
where rich moss awaited them, ready for the herd to return for revenge after growing stronger from this hunt!
What the Reindeer King didn’t realize,
was that the so-called leader of the wolves in its eyes was not the Wolf King but merely a Beta Wolf!
If the true Wolf King had been there,
perhaps not even the herd, let alone the Reindeer King himself, would have had the luxury of retreat.
At this moment, every Wolf Clan member witnessing the herd breaking through the encirclement,
felt rage and endless longing for the Wolf King and Lead Wolf in their wolf eyes.
With either the Wolf King or the Lead Wolf present, they would never have allowed the Reindeer King to rampage so freely!
The Wolf Pack’s encirclement was broken, and although they had killed more than thirty reindeer, the Wolf Pack paid a heavy price!
The root cause of it all was their own weakness; not a single wolf could effectively restrain the Reindeer King.
Otherwise, the bloody battle between the herd and the Wolf Pack would not have concluded in such a manner!
This was their first major defeat in this territory since they had gathered together!
“Awooo!”
“Awooo!”
“Awooo!”
….
In the wake of this crushing defeat, countless Wolf Clan members watched the disappearing backs of the herd and let out mournful howls, venting the frustration in their hearts.
They were not willing to accept this!
Hundreds of reindeer were food for the Wolf Pack for many days!
Especially since twenty or thirty of their comrades had been badly wounded or killed—this was a blood feud!!!
To be defeated and scattered by a herd of herbivores the Clan was so large,
to be defeated by prey that used to tremble in fear under the might of the Wolf Pack,
filled each member of the Clan with unbearable shame!
And Xiao Hui, watching Cousin continuously spitting blood on the icy snow, howled in panic.
Tears streamed from its wolf eyes!
Xiao Hui’s violent impact wasn’t any less severe than Cousin’s, its internal organs were shattered, and trails of blood also dripped from the corners of Xiao Hui’s mouth.
But the Variant Species’ tenacious vitality was still keeping it going,
yet with such grave injuries, it would need at least half a year of rest to recover if it just relied on recuperation.
At this moment, Xiao Hui wasn’t concerned about its own injuries but was anxiously watching over Cousin.
In Xiao Hui’s mind, other than their leader, the most important beings were Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom and Cousin.
It hated that it didn’t possess the combat strength of Little Lone Wolf to kill the Reindeer King and hated that it couldn’t save Cousin.
Tears slid from its fur as the desolate and sorrowful howling of wolves rose again, calling out for the Wolf King.
Big brother, where are you? Cousin is not doing well!
Whimper… Cousin really misses you; please come and see her.
