The fox has no bad intentions

Chapter 574 Nature's Gifts [Part Three]

"Woof woof~"

According to the gray wolf cub's account, the terrifying spirit beast it encountered with its mother was an aquatic spirit beast. The creature was hiding on the riverbank, and when the gray wolf cub's mother lowered her head to drink water, it pulled her into the river.

The wolf cub still felt lingering fear when he talked about it; he had never seen anything so terrifying.

It really was a pink tentacle that shot out from the riverbed, wrapped around the creature, and dragged it into the river.

"What do you think?"

Master Fuli pondered for a moment before turning to Tang Lian, who had been listening intently, and asked, "Any clues?"

What the wolf cub said is probably true, but there's a small problem right now.

So, where is that aquatic spirit beast?
Although wolf packs have relatively fixed areas, they migrate due to food and seasons. To find out where the gray wolf cub and its mother were attacked, you need to first know which section of the river the wolf pack settled in more than a month ago in order to conduct a targeted investigation.

"The activities of wolf packs are relatively fixed, and I can find out by checking."

Tang Lian took out his phone from his pocket, logged into the Public Security Bureau's database through the Security Bureau's phone, entered keywords related to wolf sightings, and then a dense array of entries appeared.

"They even found this out?"

Master Fuli was a little taken aback. He looked at Tang Lian, who was checking the data, and complained, "You guys installed GPS trackers on all the gray wolves, didn't you?"

"No."

Tang Lian looked at his phone, shook his head, and said, "Master Fuli has just arrived in our northern frontier, so he may not know that there is a type of building on our northern grasslands called an [Emergency Supplies and Aid Point]."

"Simply put, in uninhabited areas, the emergency resource points set up by herders are usually located in uninhabited areas. When herders are unable to return home while grazing their livestock, or if they encounter any accidents and lose their grain, they can go to the resource points to replenish their supplies and light a campfire to spend the night temporarily."

“Our security bureau, for example, leaves some food that can be stored for a long time at supply points when we patrol. Herdsmen or tourists also leave some food when they pass by, to help people.”

As Tang Lian finished speaking, he glanced sideways at the big gray wolf and the other little foxes, and muttered, "That thing was originally meant for herders and those in distress, but..."

"Wolves and rats on the grassland treat emergency resource points as resource respawn points."

“The herders would report every few days, so we were gradually able to track the wolves’ movements.”

"Grey wolves are few in number on the grasslands."

The steppe wolf is a subspecies of gray wolf. There are about two to three thousand of them in the northern border region. Even if you include the number of about ten thousand in the outer border areas, the total number is still less than thirty thousand.

There are only about two or three wolf packs active in the Spring Mountain Grassland, with a total number of only sixty or seventy individuals.

"A month ago, a pack of wolves was spotted near the river. Based on the wolf tracks reported by the herders, it should have been the Xixiang River, which runs through the entire Chunshan Grassland. The sighting points were resource points 11, 26, 33, and 46 on the X092 highway."

After Tang Lian finished compiling the data and pointed out the locations where the wolf pack frequently appeared, he also reported the information about the spirit beasts in the river to the dispatch center and arranged for relevant files.

"Is the journey long?" Master Fuli asked.

"If we go another fifty kilometers north, we'll reach the first sighting location. Following the river, the entire search area will likely be another thirty-four kilometers," Tang Lian told Master Fuli, outlining the search area.
"If all goes well, it should take half a day."

"Half a day? Come here!" Master Fuli bent down and grabbed the big gray wolf by the neck, asking it, "You should remember where your home is, right? A month ago."

The big gray wolf, lifted up by Master Fuli, looked bewildered and whimpered as it howled, "Awooo!"

When you get there, you should be able to remember, right? That place should still have the smell of our lives.

"That's fine then, get in the car with me!"

Master Fuli nodded, then let out a soft moan towards the grassland, signaling the fox clan to make way, as he needed to go out with the security bureau personnel.

Master Fuli tossed the gray wolf leader to the back seat, sat in the driver's seat himself, and said to Daolang Yang and Tang Lian, "It's 7:15 now. I need to get home before 9:30. You two get in the car quickly!"

"By the way, Steward Lin and Xiao Yu stay here. Bashan Mosquito and Yaoquan Mountain Lord will manage the order and take good care of my friends on the grassland. I'll give them all the takeout they need."

"what?"

Tang Lian, completely bewildered, sat in the passenger seat, staring blankly at Master Fu Li in the driver's seat:

"Master Fuli, have you ever learned to drive?" "You make it sound like there's a Fox Driving School. Driving is just stepping on the gas pedal, isn't it?"

The Fuli Master's body swelled up slightly, with four fluffy fox tails sticking out. One was placed on its buttocks, the other two extended to the accelerator and brake pedals, and the last tail pushed towards the gear shift.

"Gululu——"

The engine made a "gurgling" sound as it drove across the grassland, increasing its speed. The engine sound also changed, turning into a whistling sound.

Tang Lian's eyes widened, his body gradually sinking into the embrace of the chair, as he laboriously glanced sideways at Master Fu Li:

"Is Master Fuli's voice appropriate?"

That whistling sound was clearly the sound of the engine's supercharger starting up.

But the Raptor has a V8 naturally aspirated engine, so how could it possibly have a turbocharger sound?

"V8 twin-turbocharged, 1100 horsepower." After adjusting the navigation, Mr. Fuli raised his paw and slapped the horn on the steering wheel, emitting a piercing horn sound to scare away any little cuties that might pop up on the grassland.

"."

Upon hearing Master Fuli's words, Tang Lian's lips twitched, but he remained silent, fastening his seatbelt just like the Daolang Sheep in the back row. The gray wolf leader, its mouth agape, sank into the seat, trembling as it reached out a paw to scratch the arm of the Daolang Sheep beside it.

What is your department?
Could you help me tie it too? I'm scared.
"Drip-drip-"

The raptor, with its searchlights on, didn't enter any roads, speeding across the muddy grassland at 140-150 km/h. Master Fuli remembered that he didn't have a driver's license, but that the pickup truck had a license plate.

"Ahhh—the flying car is flying!" Tang Lian's face was full of terror as he turned to the side and gripped the handrail tightly.

What should have been a 40-minute drive was reduced to 20 minutes thanks to Mr. Fuli's unlicensed driving.

"The grasslands are still the best! There are no traffic lights and no cars crawling along at a snail's pace."

Upon arriving at resource point number 11, Master Fuli turned the steering wheel fully, performed a reverse drift and parallel parking maneuver, and shared his driving experience with a face full of emotion.

"vomit"

The driver's side and rear doors opened, and Tang Lian and Dao Langyang stumbled out of the car. They walked to the roadside and simultaneously opened their mouths, spitting out a torrent of particles.

"Aren't you field agents?"

Seeing Tang Lian and Dao Langyang's cowardly behavior, Master Fuli made a disgusted comment.

"Don't just stand there, Gray Wolf, lead the way." Master Fuli unbuckled his seatbelt, went to the back seat, pulled up the dazed and confused Gray Wolf, and gestured for it to lead him back to its home before they went to find that section of the river.

"Ouch."

The big gray wolf, with its feet firmly on the ground, opened its mouth, and a torrent of particles spewed out.

"Hey hey hey! I'm warning you, you can spit it out all you want, but don't waste it by swallowing it back down!"

The wolf-like canine cousin in front of him also vomited, and Master Fuli immediately warned it.

"woo"

The big gray wolf responded weakly and walked into the grassland, leading Master Fuli home.

Arrive at resource point number 11.

Feeling hungry, the big gray wolf pounced into the old brick house, picked up garlic, onions, and potatoes, chewed them up, and swallowed them to fill his stomach.

"?"

Upon seeing this, Master Fuli raised a question mark.

Is this in accordance with the ancestral teachings of the wolf clan?
