1480. Chapter 1480 Stocking wolves
On the moonlit grassland, Ye Qing walked alone in it, and the surroundings seemed a little indescribable.
In such an environment, if someone patrolled nearby, Ye Qing would definitely not run away and would definitely be discovered. The so-called "cattle and sheep will be seen with low wind and grass", which is also divided into seasons. In the grassland in winter, there is no saying that cattle and sheep will be seen withered and yellow, except for some short grass and bushes, most of them have already withered and yellow. Fortunately, there is not much snow in Humeng City, and the grassland is just a thin layer covered with snow. Therefore, Ye Qing did not leave many footprints when walking here.
After walking along the road for about twenty minutes, no unexpected situations happened along the way, Ye Qing felt a little relieved. However, when he had just crossed a small hill in front, a low beast roar suddenly came from his ears. Ye Qing couldn't help but feel excited. Thinking of the prairie wolf that the taxi driver mentioned before, he immediately became alert.
In fact, Ye Qing didn't care much about the taxi driver. Because it is so close to the city of Humeng City, even if there are wolves on the grassland, it is impossible to go to this place to feed. You must know that wolves are generally foraging far away from human living areas, and they will only be slightly closer to the range of human activities when food is scarce. And in such a big city, how can wolves get close to?
However, the beast roar brought Ye Qing back to reality. He immediately leaned against a huge rock next to him, turned his head and looked vigilantly in the direction where the beast roar had just arrived.
This small hill is an exception on this grassland. It is surrounded by large stones, so it is easier to hide. The beast roar came from behind a huge rock on Ye Qing's left hand. Ye Qing waited here for a long time, but still didn't see anything. Instead, he heard a low beast roar again.
Ye Qing listened carefully the second time and found that the reason why the beast roar was low was not that the beast was hiding its tracks, but that the beast did not have much strength and could not make louder sounds at all.
This situation made Ye Qing feel a little relieved. If the beast has no strength, there would be no threat. He took out Wu Hong's dagger from his body and slowly walked around the huge rock to see what was going on in this beast.
After walking past this huge rock, Ye Qing did not see the wild beast, but smelled a bloody smell. This smell surprised Ye Qing. Could it be that someone was harmed?
Ye Qing speeded up his pace, bypassed two more boulders, and finally found the beast that made the sound.
This is a wolf, one crawling on the ground, unable to open his eyes. The smell of blood came from it, because a foot-length hole was broken on its abdomen, and the blood dyed the land around it red. The reason why it roared was not because it had no strength, but because it was seriously injured and was almost dead.
Seeing the wounded wolf, Ye Qing was less vigilant. However, he also had some questions in his heart.
On this grassland, the wolf should be considered the top wild beast in the food chain. There are basically no animals on the grassland that can hurt wolves. And the wolf suffered such severe injuries, it was definitely not the result of being attacked by other wild beasts, that is, it must have been injured. In other words, before Ye Qing, someone passed by here and injured this wild wolf.
The person who can injure the wolf must be a warrior, and there is no doubt about this. With the current situation in Humeng City, it would be normal for warriors to pass by here. After all, the Sun Bow is enough to attract most warriors in the world to come here.
However, what really made Ye Qing ask is the situation of this wolf. Ye Qing doesn't know much about animals, but he has lived on the border for five years and there are many wild wolves in the jungle. Therefore, Ye Qing still has some understanding of the wolf breed. Seeing this wolf, he can still distinguish it.
This wolf is not the prairie wolf mentioned by the taxi driver, because the wolf is slightly larger, and the prairie wolf is not large. Moreover, the prairie wolf itself is very small and almost extinct. It is impossible for so many prairie wolf to live around Humeng City. In terms of body shape and fur color, this wolf should be a jungle wolf coming from another place.
If this wolf's jungle wolf, then the problem arises. The life range of jungle wolves does not include the Meng District grassland. Moreover, the life and migration of wolves will only migrate to a place that is close to their previous living environment and is also close to each other. If a jungle wolve migrates to the Meng District grassland, it is impossible for the spontaneous behavior of the jungle wolves. It is definitely a man-made factor. Some people raise jungle wolves onto the Meng District grassland.
Ye Qing was still wondering before, how could there be a pack of wolves around such a large city in Humeng City? Now seeing this jungle wolf, he finally understood the reason. This was a man-made factor. Someone deliberately raised the jungle wolf around Humeng City. The jungle wolf is not afraid of people, and the living place is closer to the crowd, which is normal!
However, who exactly raised these jungle wolves around Humeng City? You must know that if the wolves are too close to the living environment of humans, it will inevitably have an impact on human life. However, the people in Humeng City did not expel these wolves from Humeng City. What's going on?
This is the first time Ye Qing has come to Humeng City and the first time he has seen the situation around Humeng City. To be honest, just seeing this jungle wolf, he was full of doubts, and his intuition told him that there must be something wrong with this matter.
After a careful analysis, the financial resources and strength of those who are able to raise so many wolves around Humeng City must not be less, otherwise it would be impossible. Moreover, Humeng City is still the core of Hongmeng Qidu, and there are only a handful of people who can raise wolves here. Ye Qing can basically conclude that these wolves are either the official ones who are stocked to protect the grassland or the Hongmeng Qidu people. Who dares to make a fuss on the territory of Hongmeng Qidu?
However, if the official wants to protect the grassland, the wolves will not be so close to the city. After all, this has also had a great impact on human life. It can be seen that most of these wolves are freed by the people of Hongmeng Qidragon. However, why do the people of Hongmeng Qidragon do this? What is the profound meaning of raising these wolves around the core forces?
Could it be that the people from the Hongmeng Qidu are planning to use these wolves to prevent outsiders from entering Humeng City? How is that possible? Ordinary people enter the city, at least drive. Those who really don’t drive are at least warriors. What threat can these wolves pose to warriors?
Ye Qing was full of doubts. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a reasonable explanation, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, his purpose of coming here this time was to find Huangfu Ziyu, and he was not planning to inquire about the secrets of Hongmeng Qidu.
Walking to the side of the jungle wolf, Ye Qing bent down, trying to see what kind of weapon the jungle was injured. However, when he carefully looked at the jungle wolf's wound, Ye Qing's face suddenly changed.
There are five wounds of the jungle wolf, which look like it was scratched by the sharp claws of some beast, and it was not scratched by a sharp weapon at all!
This situation made Ye Qing even more confused. Could it be that this wolf was scratched by other wild beasts, not by others? But how is this possible? There are no other wild beasts on the grassland, and the wolves rarely fight each other. So what animal was this wolf scratched by? Could it be that the people of Hongmeng Qidu have stocked other wild beasts on the grassland? This should not be the case. If you stock other wild beasts, it will inevitably affect the living environment here. Hongmeng Qidu will not do such a thing?
After carefully looking through the situation of the jungle wolf, as Ye Qing guessed, there were several other scars on its body, all of which were scratched by the claws of the beast.
Ye Qing stood beside him and thought about it for a while, but still couldn't figure out what was going on. However, in the end he gave up and continued thinking. Even if there were any other large beasts, it would not be a big threat to Ye Qing. Last time he entered Beim Mountain, Ye Qing even fought with tigers. How many other beasts can be more powerful than tigers?
The jungle wolf was seriously injured. Before Ye Qing could see the wound on its body, its head hung to the side and died. Ye Qing had no way to save it, so he sighed softly, stood up and continued to walk towards the direction of Burial Dragon Mountain. However, this time Ye Qing was much more alert because he didn't know what more powerful beasts there were on the grassland. If he really wanted to meet it, it would be troublesome.
After walking through this small hill, I encountered no danger along the way. I met a wolf halfway through, but the wolf did not get close to Ye Qing at all, and ran away from afar.
Ye Qing saw it clearly. Like the wolf just now, it was also a jungle wolf, not a prairie wolf. From this we can see that his inference was correct. The wolf pack around Humeng City was simply free-ranged, and it was probably what Hongmeng Qidu did.
Anyway, the wolf did not attack Ye Qing, so Ye Qing did not pay attention to the wolf and continued to walk towards the direction of Zanglong Mountain. After walking about ten kilometers, Ye Qing came to a small pile of hills. There were piles of stones or earthen buns that were more than ten or twenty meters high. Looking around, there were about hundreds of them, which looked like a maze.
There are not many mountains on this grassland, and most of them are piles of stone piles. Moreover, these piles of stone piles often appear. Ye Qing has become accustomed to it after walking for a while.
However, when Ye Qing first stepped into the range of the stone pile of soil, Ye Qing smelled a faint smell of blood.
