Chapter 355 The Battle of the Alpha Wolf
The male wolf stood tall, its greyish-white fur flying wildly in the cold wind like a fluttering flag. At that moment, it raised its proud head and let out a deep, long howl. This howl, like an incredibly sharp spear, pierced the deathly silence, seemingly declaring its dominance with unquestionable authority to the daring wolf pack.
Immediately afterward, the male wolf's agile body, like a black lightning bolt, charged swiftly towards the enemy pack like an arrow released from a bow. Its limbs leaped rapidly across the grass, stirring up clumps of scent. Its claws, sharp as gleaming blades, seemed to slice through the air with each swing; its teeth, like sharp daggers, instantly became deadly weapons. In the instant it charged into the enemy pack, a single swipe of its claws left a long, bloody gash on one wolf. The wolf howled and collapsed onto the grass, its crimson blood rapidly spreading across the tender green, like a strange, blooming flower.
Seeing this, the wolves showed no sign of retreating; instead, they swarmed in from all directions. Their eyes gleamed with ferocity, their teeth bared, attempting to subdue the fierce male wolf with their numerical advantage. Their howls mingled, creating a chilling cacophony.
Not far from the battlefield, Gu Mochen and Ye Qingchen sat quietly. Their eyes were fixed on the fierce battle, their gazes filled with tension and vigilance. The mother wolf and her cubs hid beside them. The mother wolf's eyes were filled with worry as she tightly protected her cubs, her body trembling slightly, yet her determination was also evident.
Ye Qingchen's eyes suddenly lit up, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky. She took out torches from her spatial storage, handed them to Gu Mochen, lit them, and then placed them all around her, forming a wall of fire that surrounded them together with the large bonfire.
Gu Mochen looked at the wall of fire before him, then at the mother wolf and her cubs behind him, thinking to himself: Since this is a war between alpha wolves, we humans shouldn't rashly intervene. All we can do is protect the mother and cubs and observe quietly. Ye Qingchen nodded slightly, his gaze fixed firmly on the battlefield, seemingly waiting for the right moment.
On the battlefield, the male wolf, like a valiant and fearless war god, charged left and right through the enemy ranks. It was already wounded, several wounds still bleeding, staining the surrounding grass red. But its ferocity remained undiminished, each attack carrying deadly force. It leaped high, biting a wolf's neck, and with a powerful jerk, sent the wolf flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the snow. Its claws lashed out relentlessly, forcing several nearby wolves to retreat, their bodies covered in wounds. In an instant, the situation seemed to be gradually taking control of the male wolf; it crushed the enemy with the air of a king returning home.
However, just then, the enormous male wolf slowly emerged from behind the pack. Its body was a full size larger than the other wolves, its fur as black as ink, shimmering eerily in the snow. Its eyes were fierce and cold, seemingly capable of freezing a person. Seeing this, a resolute glint flashed in the male wolf's eyes. It knew that the truly formidable challenge had only just begun.
This wolf was the culprit who nearly killed him and the mother wolf. There are rules in the wolf pack: before the mother wolf gives birth, all the wolves are supposed to protect the alpha wolf's mate. But this wolf led the other wolves to attack them. The male wolf almost lost his life while protecting the mother wolf.
The enormous male wolf slowly approached, its steps steady and powerful, each step leaving a faint scent of grass. It circled the wolf, its eyes fixed intently on its every move, like an experienced hunter observing its prey. The male wolf was equally resolute, its eyes fixed on its opponent, a low growl emanating from its throat. Though its wounds still ached, it maintained its fighting stance with unwavering willpower.
Suddenly, the enormous male wolf launched its attack. It pounced on the female wolf like a small black mountain, its speed dazzling. The female wolf swiftly dodged to the side, the enormous wolf's claws grazing its body, leaving another bloody gash. The female wolf seized the opportunity to retaliate, its claws slashing fiercely at the enormous wolf's belly, but the enormous wolf reacted with lightning speed, leaping away.
They fought fiercely, going back and forth. The surrounding wolves stopped moving, silently watching this duel between kings. Every collision seemed to make the earth tremble; every howl seemed to pierce the soul. Blood was constantly spilled on the grass, making the tender green grass even more vibrant.
Gu Mochen and Ye Qingchen watched nervously from the sidelines, their hands gripping the torches tightly, their palms sweaty. The mother wolf also watched the battlefield intently, the cub occasionally letting out a low whimper, while the mother wolf gently licked the cub's head, trying to soothe it.
The battle continued. Although the male wolf was brave, it was gradually becoming overwhelmed by its enormous and powerful opponent. More and more wounds appeared on its body, blood flowed incessantly, and its steps began to falter. Yet, its eyes remained filled with unwavering determination and resilience.
The giant male wolf seemed to sense the wolf's exhaustion and launched an even more ferocious attack. It pounced on the wolf several times, the wolf dodging left and right, but still being hit a few times. Just as the giant wolf was preparing to deliver the final blow, it suddenly unleashed a powerful burst of strength, leaping high into the air and biting down on the giant wolf's neck with all its might. The giant wolf was not to be outdone, desperately clawing at the giant wolf. For a moment, they were locked in a fierce struggle, neither gaining the upper hand.
They rolled on the grass, blood splattering everywhere. The surrounding wolf pack was stunned by the fierce battle, silently awaiting the final outcome. Gu Mochen and Ye Qingchen's hearts were in their throats; they didn't know how this battle would end.
After a thrilling and desperate struggle, the male wolf finally defeated the much larger one. With all its might, it gripped its opponent's neck tightly until the giant wolf's body gradually lost strength and collapsed to the ground. The male wolf slowly released its grip and stood beside the giant wolf's corpse, its body swaying precariously from extreme exhaustion. Yet, despite this, it stubbornly stood upright, displaying an indomitable spirit. It raised its head, looked up at the sky, and let out a deafening howl. This howl was filled with pride and glory, as if announcing its victory to the entire world.
The surrounding wolves witnessed this scene. Intimidated by the male wolf's ferocity, they all turned to flee. However, just as they were about to escape, the male wolf suddenly let out a majestic howl. This howl was like a command, forcing the wolves to stop in their tracks and then prostrate themselves before the male wolf in submission.
The male wolf scanned the pack with its sharp gaze, seemingly warning them not to challenge its authority. Then, it howled once more, this time a declaration that it was the true king of the grasslands. At the male wolf's signal, the pack scattered swiftly, as if granted a reprieve, disappearing into the distance. The male wolf stood alone, its silhouette appearing exceptionally tall in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if it were the sole ruler of the grasslands.
