Chapter 190: In Front of Wolf Mountain
On a barren plain covered with sparse grass and yellow earth, two figures with backpacks trudged slowly along. On either side of them, rolling hills and exposed cliffs revealed oddly shaped weathered rocks jutting out near the edge of the wilderness. As the wind swept through, it stirred up clouds of dust.
"Ah!"
Gu Lang sighed deeply, turning around to continue walking. This was already his nth time looking back, but alas, Wang Ping still wasn’t in sight behind him.
"Stop sighing!" Yuan Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes impatiently. "That pet of yours is way smarter than you—don't worry, he won’t get lost!"
The idea that Gu Lang was actually worried about that white-haired critter struck Yuan Xiaoxiao as absurd, like someone telling the world's lamest joke.
"I’m not worried about him..." Gu Lang stopped walking altogether, plopping down on a nearby rock. He mumbled under his breath, "If he insisted we go ahead without him, what if he’s sneaking off to eat something behind our backs…?"
Yuan Xiaoxiao: ...
She almost forgot—technically, that little fuzzball was a “wild beast,” after all. The thought left her speechless.
Seeing Gu Lang seize the opportunity to sit yet again, Yuan Xiaoxiao decided to stop as well. She unslung her backpack and placed it on the ground, opening it up to check on Little Four, who was fast asleep inside.
Looking up at Gu Lang, she asked curiously, "Hey, I’ve never asked this before, but why did you bring a honey badger into the no-man's land for your livestream? And how come there’s also such a tiny dog with you? Isn’t it barely a month old?"
"Dog? Haha..."
Gu Lang chuckled softly, shaking his head. "Don’t you remember me calling it 'Little Wolf' all the time?"
"So?" Yuan Xiaoxiao said, slightly surprised. "'Little Wolf' isn’t just a name—it’s its species, right?"
"Pretty much!" Gu Lang nodded. With nothing else to do, he began recounting the story of Little Four’s origins.
But halfway through, the “main character” woke up, whimpering loudly, signaling it needed to relieve itself. This time, Yuan Xiaoxiao was prepared; she placed it farther away on the ground, letting it handle its business while keeping her distance from the scene. Meanwhile, she urged Gu Lang to keep talking.
However, less than five minutes later, they heard Little Four yipping loudly. Both Yuan Xiaoxiao and Gu Lang turned simultaneously. To the east, where they had passed earlier, a figure appeared, sprinting toward them.
Squinting, Yuan Xiaoxiao quickly scooped up Little Four, who was gnawing on its baby teeth, and grabbed a nearby rock, ready to defend herself.
"It’s a wolf!"
Glancing around, apart from a pile of boulders to the north, the nearest trees were at least a kilometer away.
"Hurry, hide over there!" Yuan Xiaoxiao pointed toward the boulder pile.
"No need!"
Gu Lang, who had initially tensed up, suddenly burst into laughter, pointing at the approaching figure. "Look who it is?"
"What?"
Yuan Xiaoxiao frowned, focusing her gaze. The charging blue wolf was now only three hundred meters away, with a familiar furry figure perched atop its neck, waving enthusiastically.
"Damn..."
Yuan Xiaoxiao couldn’t quite place her emotions at this moment. Rolling her eyes, she tossed the rock aside and muttered, "I told you not to worry about him."
To conserve battery, Gu Lang had long since detached the camera from his shoulder, leaving only the main live stream lens operational. Since Gu Lang was facing the direction of the incoming figure, everyone in the live chat witnessed Wang Ping galloping in on the wolf.
"Big Brother Buzz-Cut is epic!!"
"From now on, call him Lord Buzz-Cut!"
"IllegalAccount gifted Super Rocket ×6..."
"Bowing to the Boss!"
"No matter the animal, Buzz-Cut Bro can handle anything!"
"Is this the wolf Gu Lang saved?"
"Wait, didn’t it have a broken leg from the bear attack? Doesn’t look like it..."
"LittleFriendLily gifted Yacht ×..."
"TheSoftshellTurtleNeedsToGoVegetarian gifted Fish Balls ×0..."
In reality, Gu Lang had no real memory of the wolf he supposedly saved. After all, when they were watching the chaos unfold, the wolf king was still submerged in the water. By the time the wolf king escaped and fled, they were already being chased by the bear, leaving no chance to notice which wolf ran off or what it looked like.
So when Wang Ping rode up on the blue wolf, Gu Lang naturally assumed this was the grateful wolf and instinctively reached out to pat it.
"Grrr!"
The blue wolf instantly bared its teeth, taking an aggressive stance, startling Gu Lang so much that he nearly fell backward onto the ground.
At just the right moment, Wang Ping tugged on the wolf’s ear, then leaped off its neck. Turning around, he waved casually, "Thanks, buddy!"
The wolf ignored him completely. Seeing Wang Ping safely dismounted, it promptly turned and trotted off, exuding an air of aloof indifference.
"Haha, such a tsundere, got personality…" Gu Lang awkwardly tried to fill the silence.
"Tsundere my ass! You’re lucky the pack has strict rules, otherwise you’d be missing a hand by now!" Wang Ping kicked Gu Lang’s shin in irritation, cursing under his breath.
"Hmph..."
Yuan Xiaoxiao glanced at Wang Ping, deep in thought, then remarked, "This isn’t the one you saved. Judging by its demeanor, the wolf you saved must hold a special position within the pack."
"How do you know?"
Before Gu Lang could fully process this, he reflexively asked. But Yuan Xiaoxiao was too lazy to respond. Cradling Little Four, she slung her backpack over her shoulders and resumed walking westward.
"Hey, I’m asking you a question here!"
Gu Lang persisted, trailing after her.
"Ugh, your IQ is truly beyond saving." Wang Ping sighed, jogging a few steps to catch up.
As evening approached once more, the group arrived at the entrance of a valley.
To the south, a towering mountain peak blocked the setting sun, casting vast shadows across the valley. Only the snow-capped summit gleamed brilliantly under the fading sunlight. At the eastern foot of the mountain stretched endless hills and weathered rocks, weaving their way into the valley.
In stark contrast, the relatively smaller mound of earth to the north seemed rather unremarkable.
At this moment, Yuan Xiaoxiao, who had borrowed Gu Lang’s tablet to verify their route, found herself unusually captivated by the northern hillock. According to the map, it was called Wolf Mountain.
"What’s up with so much wolves recently!"
"Hey, are you done checking? We don’t have much power left—we need to conserve it!"
Gu Lang called out from beneath a tree where he lay sprawled against his backpack.
Turning back, Yuan Xiaoxiao handed the tablet to him. "If we stay on course, we might encounter signs of civilization tomorrow."
"Oh, that’s great!" Gu Lang shut off the tablet, humming contentedly. "When that happens, we’ll rent a car to take us straight to Rutog County—I don’t want to take another step!"
Just then, a distant howl echoed from the west, carried by the wind.
Wang Ping, who had been lying motionless on the ground, perked up instantly, his furry face lighting up with excitement. "Is dinner here?"
At the mere thought of food, Wang Ping’s stomach growled loudly. Despite exhaustion weakening his legs moments ago, a surge of energy coursed through him, revitalizing his limbs.
Patting Gu Lang’s arm, Wang Ping pointed westward and stood up, heading toward the source of the howl.
Gu Lang rose shortly after, removing his backpack. "Boss, wait for me—I’ll come with you."
"Obviously!"
Wang Ping rolled his eyes inwardly. "What, you expect me to carry the prey back all by myself?"
