Chapter 402: Resignation
Li Xiangyang slowly walked towards his wolf king, reached out and stroked its head, then turned to the other wolf king, his gaze piercing.
Under Li Xiangyang's gaze, the wolf king unconsciously took a half step back, a hint of fear flashing in its eyes.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Xiangyang made an attack gesture to his wolf king.
The wolf king immediately understood, pounced on its opponent, bit the back of its neck, and pinned it to the ground.
This time, the opposing wolf king was completely powerless to resist and could only whimper softly, indicating its submission.
Faced with human intervention, the subdued wolf king slowly stood up, trembling all over, his eyes filled with fear and confusion.
Li Xiangyang gave it a low whistle, then pointed at his wolf king.
Strangely, the beast that had just been fiercely resisting now seemed to understand something, slowly walking towards Li Xiangyang's wolf king, lowering its head, and making a gesture of submission.
Immediately afterwards, the remaining wolves in the valley gradually approached and surrounded the two wolf kings.
Two once-enemy wolf packs have surprisingly found peace and coexistence through human mediation.
"They...really accept each other?" Dalai asked incredulously.
Li Xiangyang nodded: "The social structure of wolves is very simple—might makes right. Our wolf king proved himself stronger, and I proved myself stronger than all of them, so they accepted this new order."
In the following days, Li Xiangyang began training the newly expanded wolf pack, teaching them to recognize the rules of the red stripes and ensuring they would not attack the herders' livestock.
Surprisingly, the newly joined wolves learned faster than the original pack, seemingly mastering the rules quickly from their companions.
A week later, when Li Xiangyang returned to the village with nearly fifty wolves, the entire tribe was stunned.
“Unbelievable,” Bayar shook his head repeatedly. “I’ve never seen anything so spectacular. Are you sure they won’t hurt us?”
Li Xiangyang nodded confidently: "As long as the livestock have red ribbons tied to them, they won't attack. Moreover, they'll drive away any other wolves that try to approach."
“So what do you plan to do with these wolves?” Bayar asked.
Li Xiangyang looked at Dalai: "Wang Ergou and I can't stay here forever, so someone needs to take over and continue managing this wolf pack."
Dalai paused for a moment, then understood what Li Xiangyang meant: "You mean... let me do it?"
Li Xiangyang nodded: "I will teach you how to issue commands and how to maintain control. Once you master the techniques, managing them isn't difficult."
Over the next few days, Li Xiangyang began intensive training for Dalai, teaching him various whistle signals and hand gestures, and letting him personally try to command the wolf pack to perform simple tasks.
At first, Dalai seemed a bit clumsy, and the wolf pack wasn't very cooperative, but with Li Xiangyang's patient guidance, the situation gradually improved.
Especially after Dalai successfully led the wolf pack to capture prey for the first time, his confidence soared, and his interaction with the wolf pack became more and more natural.
“Remember,” Li Xiangyang emphasized repeatedly, “never show fear or hesitation. Wolves can sense these emotions, and once they detect your weakness, they may turn on you.”
Dalai nodded solemnly: "I understand, I will keep your teachings in mind."
Finally, on the last day before leaving, Li Xiangyang decided to conduct a practical test, leading the wolf pack to find other wolf packs.
“Today, you will be in charge of them,” Li Xiangyang said to Da.
Dalai took a deep breath, then walked to the front of the wolf pack and let out a clear whistle.
The wolf king immediately went to his side and awaited orders.
Dalai pointed into the distance: "Go, find those wolves from elsewhere."
The wolf king understood and led his pack to disperse and begin searching for scents.
Less than half an hour later, a scout wolf ran back and reported its discovery to the wolf king.
The wolf king immediately howled, gathering the pack, then looked at Dalai, awaiting further instructions.
Da glanced at Li Xiangyang, and after receiving an encouraging look, he firmly gave the order to attack.
The wolf pack charged towards a bush in the distance like arrows released from a bow. Soon, several mournful howls rang out, followed by silence.
When Dalai and Li Xiangyang arrived at the scene, they saw that the four unfamiliar wolves had been subdued and were lying face down on the ground, while the wolf king stood in front of them, as if waiting for the final verdict.
Dalai approached the wolf king, gently patted its head, and then gave the command to attack again.
Upon receiving the command, the wolf king howled to the sky.
The wolves, which had been standing in neat rows waiting for their turn, suddenly pounced on the four unfamiliar wolves like a surging black tide.
The four unfamiliar wolves struggled and resisted, back to back, letting out desperate and unwilling howls.
However, faced with the overwhelming numbers and imposing presence of the Dalai wolf pack, all this resistance seemed utterly futile.
A larger wolf charged into the enemy ranks first, biting the throat of one of the unfamiliar wolves. The wolf only had time to let out a short howl before being thrown to the ground by the powerful force.
Seeing this, the other wolves pounced on them, tearing at them frantically with their sharp teeth and claws.
In an instant, dust filled the battlefield, and the mournful howls of wolves mingled together.
In no time, the four unfamiliar wolves fell silent, lying in pools of blood.
The victorious wolf pack did not stop. Led by their alpha wolf, they began tearing apart the carcasses of their prey and eating them.
"That's fantastic!" Li Xiangyang nodded approvingly. "You've completely mastered the technique."
"This feeling...it's amazing! It's like connecting with the grassland itself!" Dalai exclaimed excitedly.
After Dalai had completely mastered how to control the wolf pack, Li Xiangyang and Wang Ergou took their leave that evening. The people of the village held a grand celebration to bid them farewell.
By the campfire, Bayar raised a bowl of mare's milk wine and exclaimed, "Thank you to the two Erdun Horgins for solving our wolf problem! From today onwards, the cattle and sheep in our gacha on the grassland will no longer have to worry about the threat of wolves!"
The crowd cheered and toasts were offered continuously.
Dalai sat down next to Li Xiangyang, his expression serious: "We will never forget this kindness. If you ever need my help in the future, please let me know."
Li Xiangyang smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, just everyone doing their best. But you, you must remember every detail I taught you. A wolf is always a wolf; if left unmanaged, they can revert to their wild nature at any time."
Dalai nodded solemnly: "I understand, and I will strictly follow your teachings."
The next morning, as the sun was just rising, Li Xiangyang and Wang Ergou were already ready to set off.
The villagers all came to see him off, and even the wolf pack appeared at the edge of the village at some unknown time, watching the scene from afar.
