Chapter 180:

As the rounded a fault in the reddish-brown weathered rock, the beastly roars suddenly grew louder.

Everyone in the car, including Wang Ping, turned to look left. Below a low slope to the south, a shallow beach had been carved out by a river flowing from the opposite side. On this beach, a fierce battle was unfolding.

A pack of about 20 grayish-white surrounded a massive . Both sides fought fiercely on the beach. Occasionally, a wolf would be flung away by the bear, only to crawl back up and charge again.

A wolf pack attacking a brown bear is far from conventional behavior.

Though wolf packs are renowned for their numbers and tight coordination in nature, normally it’s the bear provoking the wolves, not the other way around. The disparity in strength and size is too great; wolves typically prey on herbivores and small mammals.

Thus, this scene left Gu Lang, Wang Ping, and Yuan Xiaoxiao stunned, their worldviews shattered.

Even Wang Ping instinctively glanced at Little Four at his feet, wondering if its father might be among the fray.

Seeing everyone’s interest, and given the distant battlefield and their vehicle’s mobility, Gu Lang parked the car, grabbed the tablet, and aimed it outside. Watching the rare spectacle below, he munched on snacks like a casual observer.

The movements were too fast, and the bear had been forced into the water by the wolves. Each motion splashed water everywhere, drenching both sides in mud. After watching for a while, they realized the bear’s mouth clamped tightly onto a wolf’s hind leg.

The wolf trapped in the bear’s jaws was swung back and forth, unable to break free with its forelimbs. Half its body submerged in water, it had become a "." Every time a wolf lunged, the bear merely swatted with its paw, unwilling to release its grip on the captured wolf.

Everyone suddenly understood. No wonder the wolf pack unusually attacked the bear—it was rescuing a captured companion.

The live chat erupted in discussion. Some praised the wolf pack as nature’s most united animals, bravely confronting a bear many times their size, showing no fear of authority.

Others criticized the pack’s tactics, admiring their courage but calling them simple-minded. If it were , the bear would have been defeated long ago.

Of course, supporters of the bear argued the wolves were overestimating themselves, impossible to defeat the bear. However, humans’ natural sympathy for the underdog silenced these arguments quickly.

Wang Ping climbed onto the dashboard, instinctively searching for the .

In such group battles, the commander rarely appears directly on the battlefield, usually overseeing from afar.

However, despite scanning for a long time, Wang Ping couldn’t spot the alpha wolf or hear any commanding howls.

Although the bear retreated into the water under the wolves’ assault, Wang Ping observed no significant wounds on it. Conversely, several wolves limped, and one even dragged its hind legs, possibly with a broken spine.

Because the bear retreated into the water, the wolves’ agility was hampered by the current, slowing them down. Meanwhile, the tall bear remained unaffected, retaliating freely.

"This doesn’t look good," Wang Ping muttered, scratching his head.

Though not intending to interfere, Wang Ping couldn’t help analyzing the situation. Like watching a soccer match, if not rooting for either side, one tends to worry for the losing team.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Wang Ping’s mind.

"Shit... Could the wolf caught by the bear’s jaws be the alpha?"

The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. Even a bear would struggle to capture a wolf in a direct confrontation. Wolves aren’t stupid—they’d flee if they couldn’t fight. Capturing a wolf likely required an ambush, and the wolf often nearest the periphery was the alpha.

With the window open, the fierce roars outside continued. Little Four, previously napping on the passenger seat, woke up grumbling, displeased that the wolf pack disturbed its beauty sleep.

"This brat!" Wang Ping chuckled silently, shaking his head. "Those are your kind out there—maybe even your dad! But you’re still sleeping?"

"Tsks, little guy’s upset?" Gu Lang turned back upon hearing the noise, smiling. "Does seeing your kind bullied make you want to help?"

Both Wang Ping and Yuan Xiaoxiao simultaneously stared at Gu Lang, thinking the same thing: his current aura was extremely childish.

Before they could finish marveling, something even more childish happened.

"Want to help? Bark if you do." Gu Lang teased Little Four, who coincidentally howled in response to the external wolf cries.

"Alright!"

Gu Lang turned toward the direction of the wolf pack and bear, suddenly shouting: "Hey! What’s going on there?! Fighting in broad daylight—is this a gang fight?!"

Wang Ping: …

Yuan Xiaoxiao: …

Wolf pack: …

Bear: …

Live chat: …

The Wrangler was parked just at the top of the slope, having rounded the fault, less than fifty meters from the battling parties. Gu Lang’s shout stunned everyone and every animal.

A row of "…" floated across the live chat. Wang Ping could almost picture everyone’s facepalms in front of their phones or computers.

A faint splash sounded from the suddenly quiet battlefield. The bear, stunned, unconsciously opened its mouth, forgetting it still held something. The captured wolf leg slipped out, falling into the water.

The barely alive alpha wolf, once freed, displayed gravity-defying agility, leaping across the water’s surface.

"Howl~~~"

Reaching the shore, the alpha wolf’s howl awakened the pack. The wolves instantly surrounded it, retreating southeast toward the broken rocks of the weathered cliff.

Glancing at the fleeing wolves, then at the Wrangler atop the slope, the bear’s eyes slowly reddened.

"Roar!"

Fueled by anger, the bear splashed through the water, charging madly toward the Wrangler.

"Shit!"

Gu Lang shuddered, hurriedly tossing the tablet onto the passenger seat, shifting gears to escape.

"Hurry up hurry up hurry up!"

Yuan Xiaoxiao stamped her feet anxiously in the backseat. If she had a gun, she’d shoot Gu Lang without hesitation. Truly, he was such a pain! Throughout her poaching career, she’d never encountered such a talkative idiot.

"Gu Lang, you bastard!"

Wang Ping hastily jumped back to the passenger seat, grabbing Little Four with one paw and pulling the seatbelt across his body with the other.

Knowing his own size, he didn’t want another embarrassing experience of being thrown under the seat.

Just as Gu Lang pressed the accelerator and the Wrangler roared to life, the bear reached the slope’s top, its massive paw slamming onto the already-damaged rear of the car.

BANG!

The rear glass shattered instantly. The car spun uncontrollably, hurtling toward the riverbed below amid the screams of Yuan Xiaoxiao and Gu Lang.
