Chapter 1123: Driving Off the Wolf Pack

After hearing Chen Wen’s roar, the wolf king of this plain wolf pack immediately trembled, and its tail was tucked under its body, the entire wolf suddenly deflated like it had been struck by lightning.

The other wolves, upon hearing Chen Wen’s intimidation, displayed extreme panic and fear.

The once majestic howling instantly turned into whimpering cries.

The wolf king strained to keep its body upright, attempting to retaliate with a howl against Chen Wen.

But looking at Chen Wen’s enlarged shadow, the wavering silhouette appeared enormous, resembling a menacing ghost.

Thus, as it opened its mouth, the intended howl immediately turned into whimpering cries.

Seeing that the leader had lost its aura, the other wolves made a swift decision—escape!

The wolves scattered like wild beasts, quickly fleeing.

The wolf king glanced back at the escaping pack and, no longer struggling, also turned to flee, even faster than the other pack members.

Chen Wen did not pursue them, simply watching the wolves’ retreat.

After a while, confirming that the wolves indeed had no intention of looking back at the situation, Chen Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief, completely at ease.

He instructed the others with a few words, assuring them to rest at the refuge.

Upon hearing his words, everyone returned to the refuge without further inquiry.

After all, Chen Wen’s previous shout had startled everyone.

…

Chen Wen also returned to his own refuge.

Inside the refuge, Hulu was anxiously circling the lynx, while three raptors huddled together, observing the situation of the lynx.

Upon entering, the Golden Eagle remarked, “Chen Wen, it’s injured, and the injuries are quite serious!”

Hearing this, Chen Wen nodded.

He had previously noticed the wounds on the lynx, so Chen Wen removed his gear and weapons and approached the lynx.

At this point, the lynx had exhausted its strength, not even having the energy to speak.

“Very weak.”

King Kong approached, examining this new friend who rarely visited the camp: “Chen Wen, I think it might need some energy replenishment.”

Chen Wen nodded, saying: “It should replenish, but not now. The most crucial thing now is to treat the wound.”

He then turned to the lynx, saying: “Don’t panic, let me check your wound first. It might hurt a bit, bear with it.”

Hearing this, the lynx weakly acknowledged with a sound and closed its eyes.

Chen Wen couldn’t help but add: “Don’t close your eyes, among humans, closing your eyes in this situation is a bit ominous.”

This comment left the animals speechless.

However, they unanimously did not object, as such times called for some kind of support like this.

The lynx opened its eyes, somewhat resigned.

But Chen Wen didn’t care about the lynx’s thoughts, he had already begun examining its wound.

The lynx’s wound was between the chest and the left foreleg, a laceration that might have been caused by the sharp claws or fangs of those wolves, and the wound was rather deep.

Looking at the wound, Chen Wen frowned and said: “Were you directly attacked?”

The lynx responded with a sound.

Chen Wen didn’t ask further, knowing well that wolves and lynxes, as competing animals, would not hesitate to attack each other once given the chance.

Chen Wen parted the fur around the wound, revealing the scar.

The scar was about a finger-length long, looking quite grim.

At this time, the wound was still oozing blood, and there were signs of secondary tearing.

Chen Wen furrowed his brow, the condition of the lynx’s wound was very poor, requiring human intervention.

But he didn’t have anything handy to clean the wound.

Chen Wen stood up, rummaged through his supplies, and pulled out some cloth.

Just as he was worried about finding suitable items, King Kong’s words reminded him: “Earlier, weren’t those hunters sending you some alcohol? Can that be used?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen slapped his thigh: “Whoa, I almost forgot, you’re right, besides some alcohol, they also sent a medical kit!”

Remembering what Arseny and his team sent, Chen Wen hurriedly stood up, opened the door to find Hua Yun.

These precious supplies were stored with Hua Yun.

Knocking on the wooden door of Hua Yun’s shelter, Hua Yun looked at Chen Wen with some curiosity: “What’s up?”

Chen Wen stated concisely: “Find the alcohol and the medical kit Arseny and his team sent earlier, I urgently need it.”

Hearing this, Hua Yun observed Chen Wen with tension.

Chen Wen waved his hand: “It’s not me, it’s that White Lynx, just now the wolf pack came chasing it, and the White Lynx was injured by the wolf pack, the situation is somewhat severe.”

This statement eased Hua Yun’s worry, yet she still said: “You head back first, I’ll find the items and come to assist you shortly.”

Chen Wen thought it over, considering Hua Yun’s assistance would be beneficial.

He said: “Alright, you can come and help bandage the lynx, you’re a bit more meticulous in such matters than I am.”

…

Chen Wen returned to the shelter.

Not long after, Hua Yun arrived with the supplies.

Placing down the medical kit and alcohol, Hua Yun immediately started inspecting the lynx’s wound.

Seeing the evident muscle tears in the lynx’s wound, Hua Yun showed a trace of worry in her eyes: “Can such a wound be treated with our simple bandaging?”

Chen Wen said: “Let’s try first, if it really doesn’t work, we can ask the Russian Survival Association for help, spending some money to save the lynx shouldn’t be an issue.”

Seeing Chen Wen had plans, Hua Yun felt more at ease, she said: “Then I’ll prep the medication; hold the lynx so it doesn’t struggle and hurt itself.”

Chen Wen nodded, gently grooming the lynx’s fur while extending his hand to press down on the lynx’s front paw.

Hua Yun didn’t use alcohol for disinfection.

Such wounds were severe and close to the lynx’s vital area—the heart, it’s best to use less irritating disinfectants.

She opened the medical kit, which contained povidone-iodine, less irritating than alcohol.

But such wounds would likely still hurt!

Thinking this, Hua Yun took out a cotton ball.

After washing her hands, she dipped the cotton ball in a good amount of povidone-iodine and began applying it to the lynx.

As the cotton ball touched the wound, the lynx immediately cried out in pain.

It instinctively tried to extend its paw to swipe away Hua Yun’s hand, but Chen Wen held the lynx firmly, and the lynx soon realized that Hua Yun and Chen Wen were helping it.

The lynx suppressed its instinctive struggle, allowing Hua Yun to disinfect it.

With the lynx enduring the pain, the application was very smooth, and soon, the lynx’s wound was disinfected.

Next, Hua Yun took out some powdered anti-inflammatory medicine to apply to the lynx.

Given there were no conditions for stitches here, Hua Yun could only apply the medication and plug the wound with a cotton ball.

Soon, Hua Yun finished treating the wound.
