Chapter 53: The Jackal Pack Retreats

  Lin Bei took a deep breath and suppressed the tension in his heart. This was no time to panic.

  The jackal pack is indeed one of the most organized beasts in the animal kingdom. At first glance, they seem scattered, but in fact, they are divided into small teams of two, with each team supporting each other from front and back, never more than ten meters apart. This distance allows them to quickly provide support, with the soldier jackal charging forward, while the nanny jackal and the bitter jackal let out loud howls. In the animal kingdom, many creatures judge an opponent's strength by the loudness of their roar, so the jackals' tactic is to deceive some foolish animals.

  The one-eyed dragon slowly approached Lin Bei's front, and its roar with the guardian jackal was the loudest, used to attract Lin Bei's attention, so that the soldiers could surround and rush up.

  In modern times, there have been instances of dholes fighting tigers, which occur in areas where prey is scarce. The results are always the same: the tiger kills a few dholes and then succumbs to exhaustion and injuries inflicted by the pack. These outcomes demonstrate the strength of a dhole pack, as tigers are not able to kill all the members of the pack.

  Lin Bei slowly retreated, his physical strength weakened by the loss of fresh blood. Even with his snake-like endurance, he couldn't escape this rule. Lin Bei prepared to find cover, and there were two options in Longtan: the Qinglong Stone or the wooden house. Lin Bei didn't enter the wooden house, planning to engage in a final battle with the pack of wolves at the Qinglong Stone.

  When the fight was about to break out, the weak cry of the little jackal sounded, and the voice of the jackal pack was too loud, waking up the little jackal.

  Upon hearing these little jackals' voices, both Lin Bei and the pack's movements paused for a moment, as they simultaneously looked towards the small den that Lin Bei had made for them.

  "Oh no, are these jackals going to eat the little one?" Lin Bei didn't know much about the habits of jackal packs, but he did know that most predators had a habit of killing off threatening members of their own kind, so he worried that the pack would devour the little one first.

  Just as Lin Bei was guessing, the one-eyed dragon let out a low roar, and the pack of wolves began to slowly retreat. The one-eyed dragon, however, led the guard wolves forward, walking slowly towards the young wolf's location, and called out softly to them. The young wolf also started howling in response, as if answering.

  "What's going on? Are you communicating?" Lin Bei hesitated for a moment when he saw this situation and didn't interrupt.

  If Xiao Chai can return to the team of Jackal Group, Lin Bei is still happy to see it, but Lin Bei thinks it's amazing that such a small little thing, just born for one day, can communicate with the big ones. This ability is really too powerful.

  In fact, the jackal can only send out a distress signal, and the pack of jackals just needs to confirm this signal.

  Lin Bei was not clear about the conversation between Xiao Jiao and the pack, but afterwards, Du Yan Long let out a low growl, and several nanny jackals jumped out from behind, all of whom were female jackals, slightly smaller in build, slowly approaching Xiao Jiao, while Du Yan Long brought the guard jackal closer to Lin Bei.

  "This is a division of troops or..." Lin Bei was somewhat at a loss, just as he was hesitating, the nanny wolf picked up the little wolf in its den and slowly backed away.

  "Let's wait and see then." Lin Bei sighed, feeling a bit stifled in his heart. Because he was currently in a weak period, having lost a lot of blood, fighting was somewhat strenuous for him, so he could tolerate the jackals' behavior. If Lin Bei were in top condition at this moment, what was happening before his eyes would absolutely not be allowed to happen.

  The little jackal cried out again, and Lin Bei saw that it was the birthmarked little jackal. Although its voice was weak, the nanny jackal carrying it still stopped in its tracks, looking at Du Yanlong. Du Yanlong seemed to be stunned for a moment, then let out a roar, and only then did the nanny jackal carefully put the birthmarked little jackal on the ground.

  At the time of Lin Bei's fog and water, Xiao Chai's little nose sniffed in the air, then seemed to identify the direction, and actually slowly crawled towards Lin Bei's side. It was too small, one step at a time, sometimes even falling to the ground, but still stubbornly crawling towards Lin Bei, just like when it competed for food.

  "It seems you still remember my care for you." Lin Bei saw this situation, feeling a bit comforted, but also surprised by the intelligence level of this little jackal. Was it really just one special care that made it remember? Lin Bei truly found it unbelievable.

  The little leopard cub crawled very slowly, Lin Bei didn't move, and Du Yan Long also didn't move, so no matter how slow it was, it could still crawl to their side. Then the little leopard sniffed again, stuck out its pink little tongue, and then actually turned around just like that.

  "Uh, this is..." Lin Bei was confused.

  Lin Bei still thought that Tiao Ji Xiao was reluctant to leave him at first, but now it seems completely different.

  The one-eyed dragon let out another low growl, and a nanny jackal jumped out, picked up the little jackal again, this time the little jackal did not resist, and then returned to the team.

  The one-eyed dragon looked at Lin Bei again, let out a high and low roar, the pack of hyenas began to slowly retreat, even the wolf's corpse was not taken away, soon disappeared from Lin Bei's line of sight, everything seemed like nothing had happened.

  "This..."

  Lin Bei thought it was quite strange that they didn't have a big fight, and he couldn't understand the way these beasts think. However, not fighting was a good thing for Lin Bei, but he felt a bit sorry for those little jackals, who were taken away by the jackal pack soon after being adopted. Especially the branded little jackal, it was so smart, if Lin Bei had raised it himself, would it have become an extremely powerful jackal king? Now it's too late to say such things.

  The wolf pack died, the jackal pack retreated, Lin Bei had some free time, looked at the cloud leopard's location, and found that the cloud leopard was gone. It must have seen that it couldn't take advantage of the situation, so it retreated early to avoid being scolded by Lin Bei. In fact, Lin Bei was a bit angry because he liked this creature, so he had let it go many times before. Now, taking advantage of the situation, Lin Bei wanted to teach it a lesson, but unfortunately, this guy wasn't stupid, and felines are all clever anyway.

  The birds in the sky were not so clever, they circled lower, their target seemingly the wolf corpse on the ground, this strong bloody smell attracted them. Lin Bei suddenly stood up, his wooden stick swooshing several times, making a huge cracking sound, announcing his anger and that this was Lin Bei's territory. In this way, the birds in the sky finally retreated after letting out a few cries, probably they wouldn't come back for a long time because a top-notch predator had been born here.

  Enduring the strong bloody smell, Lin Bei began to rest. He had to recover his body as soon as possible. This incident made him realize the crisis in the forest. Even if the snake's body was stronger, there would still be danger. Maintaining a complete state was currently the most important thing.
