Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 876 - 819: Wolf Pack

Mountain Eagle doesn't know that the person Kerry Cantona mentioned would take two days to arrive is already in Koyukuk Town...

In the mountains north of the village, Mountain Eagle follows Razer's footsteps, struggling in the knee-deep snow on the slope.

Razer chooses a relatively simple path, but the snow, which reaches up to the calves, still slows down their progress.

Wrapped in thick thermal clothing, Zack is holding Yue Yi, sitting on a sled pulled by four Magengxi Wolves, tightly following behind Mountain Eagle.

The bitter cold hasn't dampened Mountain Eagle's enthusiasm because they've already had a successful start upon entering the mountains...

A few clear wolf tracks indicate the presence of a Wolf Pack nearby; if they can hunt one and bring back the pelt, Mountain Eagle's task will be half complete.

After trekking behind Razer for nearly two hours, Mountain Eagle spots a green ribbon tied to a big tree in the distance. Just as he's about to speak, Yue Yi, who can't sit still, jumps off the sled and lands in the snow...

The excessively soft snow becomes an obstacle for the small-statured Yue Yi. Taking advantage of his light weight, he rolls and crawls to the tree with the marker, and after circling the tree, he joyfully unearths a completely frozen fox from the snow...

"Dad, come quick, we've caught a fox, and it's red..."

Mountain Eagle quickly walks over, instructs Yue Yi to set the animal trap on the ground, and then uses his hands to pry it open...

Looking at the fox already frozen stiff in Yue Yi's hands, Mountain Eagle laughs and says, "This is a good start!

Finally, we can ask Wuya to teach us how to handle the pelt, and we can make your mom a beautiful scarf together."

Razer walks over to Yue Yi, takes the fox from his hands, examines it, feels the broken front leg, and says somewhat regretfully, "Its leg is broken, and the pelt is damaged, not the best quality."

Razer then hands the fox to Zack, instructing him to place the prey on the sled, and watching the excitedly jumping Yue Yi, the old fellow laughs and says, "Foxes are cunning, so animal traps often fail to catch them...

This time we were really lucky, the sudden cold and snowfall have led many ill-prepared animals to face a food crisis.

Perhaps we'll have more bounty later!"

Seeing his son unable to stay put, Mountain Eagle hoists his son to ride on his shoulders and laughs as he says, "Let's continue then; the rabbits you brought back yesterday were too few. If we have a chance today, let's catch more rabbits.

I have a secret recipe for making rabbit that's mouth-wateringly tasty, even the rabbit head will become a dish!"

Even Razer, an old gun from Alaska, was stunned by Mountain Eagle's 'heavy taste'...

"Rabbit head? You plan to cook rabbit head?"

Mountain Eagle nods and says, "Yeah, when cooked properly, rabbit head tastes amazing. If you haven't tried it, you're missing a rare tasty treat.

Your Inuit cuisine is also quite daunting; I'm just eating a rabbit head, should be no surprise, right?"

Razer nods, saying, "I've had your beef and lamb soup at Brown Bear Camp. I honestly never imagined you could even cook rabbit head?

Is there anything you Easterners won't eat?"

Mountain Eagle nonchalantly gestures for Razer to continue leading the way, while walking along, he laughs, "If you had dozens of kids at home, I bet you'd make use of anything edible too."

Razer doesn't argue the point with Mountain Eagle because, as Mountain Eagle mentioned, the Inuit cuisine is indeed quite 'daunting,' especially when some traditional dishes not only look bad but taste awful too.

Compared to Easterners who can transform anything into gourmet food through cooking, Inuit traditional dishes in some way seem 'uncultured.'

Eating fish eggs and seal oil raw is just basic; the Inuits' 'fermented auk' is even worse, a stench level topping that of herring cans.

The preparation method is extremely bizarre: just stuff captured little auks with feathers and innards into seal cavities full of 100-500 birds, sew up the seal belly with seal fat, and bury in permafrost for 3 months to 3 years.

The eating method is equally bizarre; they extract the auk from the fermented seal belly, yank out auk tails, and suck the fermented viscera paste, or use the paste as a dip for grilled meat.

According to locals, this is rich in vitamins and proteins, a major nutrition source in winter, often served at celebrations.

Mountain Eagle was awestruck when Quida discussed this top-tier dark cuisine...

Apart from that, Inuits also enjoy fermented blubber and rancid seal oil...

These two things, the former tastes like burnt rubber mixed with spoiled feces, the latter like expired butter and decayed flesh blended together...

No mortal can tolerate such flavors!

Xiao Wan was highly stimulated the first day they arrived and insisted on self-sufficiency, cooking for themselves partly for these reasons!

In contrast, Mountain Eagle was just wanting to eat rabbit head...

Razer closed his mouth, quickened his pace, and soon they had another gain...

This time God was really supportive, and a fat snow rabbit appeared on the second animal trap.

Razer directly cut open the snow rabbit's belly, then opened the animal trap, and used the frozen entrails to set a new trap...

Just as they were heading in the direction of the third animal trap, a series of wolf howls made Yue Yi, who was sitting on Mountain Eagle's neck, cheer, then he pointed in a direction and excitedly shouted: "Dad, I see it..."

Mountain Eagle looked in the direction his son was pointing. On the opposite slope, two robust Gray Wolves were chewing on something on the ground, while several other Gray Wolves were wandering around, keeping watch. The howls were coming from one of the Gray Wolves standing higher up.

The Gray Wolves across had already noticed Mountain Eagle and them, but while it seemed like they were not far apart, in reality, they were separated by a mountain...

The Gray Wolves' howling provoked Balang and four Magengxi Wolves to dissatisfaction, and they rushed to a conspicuous position, letting out a series of howls across several hundred meters at those Gray Wolves...

The howling of the Magengxi Wolves caused a stir among those Gray Wolves opposite, and thereafter they surprisingly abandoned the corpses on the snow and started retreating.

Under Yue Yi's command, Mountain Eagle charged forward a few steps, then squatted beside a large tree and raised his Remington 700 Hunting Gun to shoot towards the opposite side...

"Bang"

"Bang"

The first shot was fired by Mountain Eagle, while the second shot was fired by Zack...

The bullet from Mountain Eagle accurately hit a sizeable Gray Wolf, which, after being shot, crazily ran for dozens of meters, flipped over the mountain top, before it finally fell down.

If it weren't for the drone's surveillance from the sky, Mountain Eagle might not have been able to locate the wolf's corpse.

Although Zack was using a small-caliber hunting gun, his precision was no less than Mountain Eagle's. From a distance of about 400 meters, the small caliber precisely hit a Gray Wolf's chest.

Seeing that wolf run a couple of steps before collapsing in spasms, Zack's shot must have hit a vital spot.

Just as Yue Yi was cheering and urging his father to go collect the prey, Mountain Eagle and Razer simultaneously noticed something wrong...

Through the drone, Mountain Eagle locked onto the location of the Gray Wolf's corpse, but at the same time discovered nearly 20 Gray Wolves appearing at the northern bottom of the forest in that mountain. After these wolves merged with the retreating ones, they formed a large Wolf Pack of more than thirty Gray Wolves.

After meeting, this Wolf Pack let out a series of ambiguous howls and then split into two teams and spread out, like a pincer, surrounding the mountain top where Mountain Eagle and his team were located.

If they went to the opposite side to collect Gray Wolf corpses now, it's very likely they would encounter the Wolf Pack's ambush at the foot of the mountain.

Though Razer didn't have a drone's view, his experience was just too rich; merely from hearing the wolf howls, he could roughly estimate the number of wolves and deduce their intent to encircle them...

"Wolves bear grudges, we can't stay here. Keep Balang and the few Magengxi Wolves under control. We'll head down the mountain from the north, circle around, and then figure out a way to ambush and take down a portion of the Gray Wolves."

After saying this, Razer quickened his pace, cursing, "Shit, I haven't seen a Wolf Pack this size in ten years..."

"That guy Kerry Cantona wasn't unjustly injured, and who knows if Kahong and the others have encountered these Wolf Packs?"

Mountain Eagle heard the worry in Razer's tone, but due to the snowfall, the visibility in the mountain area was limited, which partially restricted the drone's long-range reconnaissance ability, thus preventing him from locating Kahong and their position...

However, the drone could still find radio signals, so he handed his radio to Razer, saying, "You can use my radio to try contacting them..."

"They shouldn't be too far away from us!"

Razer took Mountain Eagle's radio, adjusted the frequency, and began calling...

"This is Razer, Kahong, Moro, Roger, please reply upon receiving..."

After Razer repeatedly called, the radio emitted a burst of static, then Kahong's voice appeared on the radio...

"This is Kahong, Dad, why are you here too? The way is very dangerous..."

At this time, Mountain Eagle had already heard an ominous tone in Kahong's voice, and he stopped, looking at Razer, whose expression had turned grim...

"What happened?"

Kahong: "It's the Wolf Pack, we've encountered two waves of Wolf Packs on the way!"

"These wolves are very cunning, at night our shooting effectiveness is really poor, so we had to abandon the supplies on the sled to accelerate our escape..."

"These wolves seem to have gone mad; they're attacking all living creatures!" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Upon hearing this, Razer took a deep breath and said: "You guys keep moving forward, leave the Wolf Pack problems to me to handle.

"Quickly find that guy's family and protect them..."
