Chapter 1086 - 105: Capture the Lynx Alive

Leaving the range of the campfire, the surrounding darkness instantly swallowed Chen Wen.

A trace of vigilance flashed across Chen Wen’s face.

Although the lynx is a medium-sized predator, if they manage to bite a human’s vital spots, there is a certain fatal risk.

Chen Wen didn’t want to use a lynx to test his luck.

Therefore, he exercised utmost caution.

He walked a few steps toward the source of the sound, the rustling sound stopped, it seemed to sense Chen Wen’s approach and immediately ceased its activity.

Chen Wen aimed the spearhead at the nearby forest, slowly approaching.

But just a few steps into his approach, suddenly, the once tranquil forest was disrupted by a roar.

Chen Wen was startled and saw a strange-looking small beast in front of him.

Wolverine!

Once Chen Wen identified it, he clicked his tongue instinctively.

He originally thought it was a lynx, but instead, it was a wolverine.

Why are these things everywhere?

Aside from being difficult to process, they also taste bad; if there wasn’t food here, Chen Wen would have already turned around and left.

However, the wolverine had no intention of leaving.

It glared at Chen Wen, letting out a series of low, hoarse roars, seemingly trying to intimidate him.

Chen Wen took a step forward, not wanting the wolverine to delay his hunt for the lynx.

Thus, Chen Wen raised his spear and thrust it.

[Swift Attack] made Chen Wen’s speed exceedingly fast.

The wolverine, still unaware of the situation, was already pierced by the spear, brutally impaled.

"Well, if you had left, I would have let it go, but you yelled at me; isn’t this courting death?"

Saying this, Chen Wen directly used the spear to pick up the wolverine, bringing it back to the camp.

"Wolverine?"

Seeing the animal Chen Wen was carrying, Hua Yun was very surprised: "I thought these things were only on our side, who knew that walking so far north, I could still see this guy!"

Chen Wen tossed the wolverine next to the fire; his spear had completely pierced the wolverine’s internal organs; on the way back to camp, this wolverine had already breathed its last.

"The wolverine situation here is worse than we thought."

Recalling the information provided by the association, Chen Wen said: "The association’s materials mention that in the nineteenth century, in the eastern part of Russia, their total was just over ten thousand, in the 70s and 80s of the last century, they weren’t rampant, only around twenty thousand."

"Who knew in the new century, for just the last thirty or forty years, due to reduced logging activities and government crackdowns on poaching, according to the association, the wolverine population doubled, now over eighty thousand."

In Russia’s vast eastern region, eighty thousand isn’t actually that much.

But wolverines aren’t fools; they also look for more suitable areas to survive.

As a result, large lakes, large rivers, and nearby large streams are their most common gathering areas.

It’s easier to spot wolverines here.

The two were discussing wolverines, but while they were talking, in the darkness, the cry of a Golden Eagle suddenly rang out.

Chen Wen was startled, but his expression quickly changed.

"Not good! The Golden Eagle has been attacked!"

Chen Wen spoke quickly and immediately left the camp, rushing to where the Golden Eagle was.

Upon hearing Chen Wen’s words, Hua Yun also showed a panicked expression.

The Golden Eagle was attacked?

What could dare to attack a Golden Eagle?

But Hua Yun quickly ignored these details; she had feelings for the Golden Eagle, and wouldn’t stand by while it was attacked.

So she grabbed her bow and arrows, quickly following Chen Wen.

Seeing her, Chen Wen didn’t say much, only reminded Hua Yun: "Be careful, it should be the lynx!"

Hua Yun nodded slightly.

...

A few minutes earlier.

When Chen Wen went to track down the wolverine.

Above the branch platform where food was stored, the Golden Eagle was yawning out of boredom.

It claimed to stand guard for Chen Wen here, mainly wanting to experience the life of its good buddy, the Snowy Owl.

Ever since the Snowy Owl helped Chen Wen with night vigilance, it rarely saw the Snowy Owl’s figure.

Whenever they met, the Golden Eagle could see the Snowy Owl’s enjoyment, piquing its interest in the Snowy Owl’s work.

But just when the Golden Eagle was feeling a bit bored.

Suddenly, it sensed something amiss.

The Golden Eagle glanced down and saw a shadow approaching under the tree.

It paused for a moment, then immediately ceased its movements, staring closely at the approaching entity.

But just as the Golden Eagle was watching the creature, it swiftly climbed the tree.

This time, the Golden Eagle saw clearly; it was the same white-haired lynx it encountered during the day!

The lynx sniffed the air carefully, detecting the scent of food.

Upon reaching the tree, the lynx scanned its surroundings, quickly spotting the food, the elk fawn meat placed on the branches.

Smelling the aroma, the lynx slowly advanced toward the food.

But as it stepped onto the branch, Chen Wen’s pre-set trap was triggered!

The lynx stepped into the trap, activating a mechanism that immediately ensnared its leg with a rope loop.

At this moment, the lynx was unaware of the problem; it wanted to move forward, but as it stepped again, the loop tightened, completely binding the lynx.

What was that?

The lynx tried moving its leg, tugging twice sharply.

But the noose tightened the more it pulled; after trying twice, it failed to escape, and the loop constricted even tighter.

"Haha, caught in the trap!"

From up high, the Golden Eagle’s voice rang sarcastically.

Upon hearing this, the lynx immediately displayed its ferocity, roaring violently upward.

The Golden Eagle wasn’t concerned; it was far away from the lynx, if the lynx wasn’t trapped, it would be cautious, but now...

Before the Golden Eagle could speak again, the lynx suddenly went berserk.

It roared continuously, suddenly launching an assault on the Golden Eagle.

Typically, the lynx couldn’t reach the Golden Eagle, and the Golden Eagle was unfazed.

Yet before the Golden Eagle, the lynx’s body suddenly stretched like a spring, raising its claws to strike at the Golden Eagle.

The gap between its claws and the Golden Eagle reduced constantly.

The Golden Eagle sensed the danger too.

It immediately regained composure.

With a quick dodge backwards, the Golden Eagle narrowly escaped the lynx’s grasp and bite.

However, this imbalance caused the Golden Eagle to fall off the tree.

The Golden Eagle immediately cried for help: "Help! Chen Wen! The lynx came!"

It now assumed Chen Wen’s trap didn’t work; otherwise, how could the lynx cross such a distance to attack it?

But after falling, although the lynx also dropped, its leg remained trapped, suspended in mid-air.

This allowed the Golden Eagle to breathe a sigh of relief, relaxing somewhat.

Though it landed on the ground, it wasn’t harmed, its fluffy feathers absorbing the impact.

The Golden Eagle swiftly got up, distancing itself.

At this point, Chen Wen arrived.

After quickly checking the Golden Eagle without visible injuries, he extended his hand, bestowing the blessing of [Animal Doctor] upon it.

The Golden Eagle paused, gesturing for Chen Wen to look up.

Utilizing his enhanced vision, Chen Wen saw that the trap high above was effective; the white lynx was now trapped.

"Not bad, the trap’s quality is good, it’s already ensnared."

Saying this, Chen Wen motioned for Hua Yun to look upwards.

Hua Yun raised the torch; overhead, the lynx was flailing its limbs.
