"After it ate, it deliberately clawed open the guiding fence and finally tore off the fox’s leg, leaving with the rest of the carcass."

Lin Yu’an’s voice was chillingly cold, "This is tearing down my home, destroying my tools. This is a provocation of the highest level."

"It’s using this method to tell me that this is its territory, and any traps I set up are merely providing it with food."

At this moment, this wolf was no longer just a threat to be guarded against, but a competitor that must be eliminated!

It not only threatens his life, but constantly poses a threat to his traps, directly challenging his status as the top predator in this area!

"Alright, folks, there’s no point in patrolling anymore, now, there’s only one thing left to do."

"Hunt down this damned lone wolf!"

The immense anger was transformed into a state of extreme calmness and focus.

He stood up, crushed a blood-stained patch of snow under his heel, and looked firmly in the direction where those large wolf footprints disappeared.

He began tracking the clear trail left by the wolf, like the most experienced crime scene investigator, reading not only the footprints but everything between the prints.

"Look here." He pointed to two sets of footprints in the snow that headed in opposite directions but overlapped partially.

"These were left when it came to scout last night. The footprints are shallow, the gait hesitant, indicating it was testing the waters."

"And here." The camera zooms in to show, besides the wolf prints, a very faint drag mark in the snow.

"This drag mark is from the fox’s carcass, which is very light, suggesting that it took only part of the fox’s body, not the whole thing."

Without any hesitation, he immediately started tracking the clear trail left by the wolf, quickly reading all the information on the snowy ground.

He passed by a bush, noticing that besides the wolf prints, there was a patch of icy urine.

"Male, adult, marking territory." He made the judgment with just three words.

Lin Yu’an continued onwards, reaching a relatively open area, where he found two sets of footprints heading in opposite directions but partially overlapping.

He squatted down, gently brushed away the thin layer of fresh snow along the edges of the newer footprints with his gloved hand, revealing the older, slightly blurred prints underneath due to their age.

His gaze no longer lingered on the footprints on the ground but began observing the surrounding environment—the direction of the wind, the contours of the ridge, and the density of the vegetation.

Lin Yu’an halted, facing the camera, speaking with unmistakable certainty, "Alright, folks, I’ve gathered enough information."

"It’s smart. Now that it’s had a feast here, it will surely find a wind-sheltered, open spot with a good view of this area to rest and digest its food."

He extended his hand, pointing in the direction where the trail of footprints finally disappeared—it was a hillside covered with large rocks and dense spruce trees.

"See that? This trail didn’t head straight into the flat forest interior but chose to ascend, finally disappearing into the dense forest and rocks on that slope."

"There, is one of the highest areas around here, providing the best view. At the same time, the dense vegetation and rocks offer it perfect concealment."

"Visibility, concealment—key elements for a top predator choosing a temporary resting spot; everything there meets those criteria. The footprints are the most direct evidence."

"My strategy was already clear. Once the prey’s destination is confirmed, use the terrain to approach it from an unexpected advantageous direction."

"But now, plans need to be adjusted." He addressed the camera, regaining absolute calm and professionalism in his tone.

"I thought about cutting it off by taking a detour, but in this kind of terrain and environment, the risk is too high, so I return to the most traditional tracking method."

"That wolf is full now, its vigilance will decrease, and its movement will slow down. It won’t go far and will certainly find a safe place around here to rest."

"What I need to do is to follow it like a true netherworld ghost, find its napping spot, then wait for the best moment to strike."

Lin Yu’an adjusted the bow and arrows on his back and the spear in his hand, his gaze filled with icy killing intent.

Without further explanation, he turned around, not choosing a flank route, but returning to the clear wolf footprints.

He began following the wolf’s trail, neither fast nor slow.

His tracking was full of skill. He didn’t step directly on the wolf’s footprints but kept a parallel distance of a few meters from the trail at all times.

Then used the trees and terrain as cover, constantly hiding his form, advancing silently like a shadow.

Every step was taken with extreme caution, his gaze constantly switching between the distant hillside and the trail on the ground.

He had to always anticipate the wolf’s possible hiding spots, preventing himself from stumbling into the wolf’s alert zone.

After about twenty minutes of tracking, he noticed the wolf’s footprints becoming somewhat disordered and showing signs of circling and sniffing.

"It’s looking for a place to rest." Lin Yu’an immediately halted, crouching behind a rock, lowering his voice.

"A wolf will repeatedly check its surroundings to ensure there are no threats before choosing a resting spot. This means its den or temporary resting place is within a hundred meters of here!"
