After digging out the snowmobile, Huo Yu began to think about the reindeer buried in the snow.
The carcasses of hundreds of reindeer were placed here. The smell of blood was like a beacon in the dark night, and no amount of snow could cover it up.
With the smell of blood leading the way, these frozen reindeer will eventually be dug up and eaten by other Arctic wolves or other predators.
Rather than wasting it like this, it's better to pack it up and take it away.
Now is different from the past. In the past, it was just me and a few little guys. Now, there is a large wolf pack that has to eat with me, consuming a lot of meat every day.
"Big fish, come here."
Huo Yu hooked his hand at the Wolf King.
The wolf king was a little afraid of the snowmobile that Huo Yu was sitting on, but he still had the courage to run to the snowmobile, with his four wolf legs tensed, ready to escape.
"What are you afraid of? This thing obeys me. Now that we are our own people, we will definitely not hit you again." Huo Yu pressed the steering wheel and found the contrast between the Wolf King's timid appearance a bit funny.
After receiving Huo Yu's assurance, the Wolf King nodded hesitantly and relaxed a lot.
Seeing the little fish in Huo Yu's arms, the Wolf King felt that he was a bit embarrassed by his cowardice just now, especially in front of his younger brother, and then turned his head away in embarrassment.
"Okay, there are reindeer under the snow. Let the brothers work harder and dig out what they can find and take them away."
The Wolf King nodded in agreement.
It has long been greedy for these reindeer buried in the snow.
Wolves have high group intelligence, and they have the habit of storing animal carcasses.
They often chase deer, drive them into their snow dens, and then stop attacking, allowing the low temperatures to freeze the deer to death in their snow dens.
These frozen deer become the food reserves for the wolves, and the snow nest is a natural refrigerator.
"Don't dig out those buried too deeply or with serious physical disabilities. Try to pick some good ones."
The Wolf King had just taken two steps out when he heard Huo Yu giving instructions behind him.
"Ouch~"
Without Huo Yu's instructions, the Wolf King would choose those reindeer that were better preserved.
These intact reindeer, the meat fibers have not been destroyed, taste better and more delicious.
Moreover, reindeer are huge, take up a lot of space, and are very laborious to transport.
It would be unrealistic to cut them all into pieces here. It would be a big project.
Although Huo Yu has a space backpack, the space is limited after all, so he can only take part of it.
After receiving Huo Yu's instructions, the Wolf King immediately walked up to the wolves and gave the order to dig up the reindeer.
The wolves' execution ability is very strong, especially with the delicious reindeer right under their feet in the snow.
Under the command of the Wolf King, they formed groups of four or five and dug in the snow again with their two front paws.
Huo Yu was not idle either. He opened the car door, picked up the snow shovel and joined the team digging for reindeer.
The surface layer is full of fresh snow, which is soft and easy to dig.
Anyone who lives in the north knows that the freshly fallen snow is the softest and loosest. If you are having a snowball fight in the new snow, your gloved hands will not be able to hold the snow into a snowball, and it will collapse as soon as you let go.
Only by taking off your gloves and using the body temperature of your hands to melt the new snow on the surface into a mixture of snow and water can you squeeze them into a ball.
The old snow under the new snow is different. It has become as hard as ice after being blown by wind, snow pressure and trampled by animals.
As excavation work progressed, new problems emerged.
It is easy to dig out the reindeer, but their bodies have been frozen into the old snow that is so difficult to dig out, as if they are welded to the ice.
No matter how hard the Arctic wolves grabbed them with their mouths and pulled them backwards, these deer carcasses would not move at all.
The body structure and short height of wolves destined them to be better at dragging than at pulling upwards.
"Ouch~"
The Wolf King had no choice but to face the power of nature, so he called out to Huo Yu for help.
Huo Yu came over and saw the carcass of the reindeer whose lower body was frozen to death in the snow, and immediately understood the trouble of the Arctic wolves.
He took off his gloves and tried to reach out his hands to firmly grasp the two antlers. He stood firm with his feet apart and used his hands to push upwards in an instant.
With Huo Yu's exertion, the blood flow rate instantly accelerated, and the wolf totem on his right arm was activated again.
The body once again generated a burst of heat, not the painful burning sensation at first, but like a warm current.
As this power poured into Huo Yu's arms, the reindeer corpse began to tremble slightly.
Creaking, creaking——
The reindeer carcass buried deep in the snow made a grinding sound.
The next second, ice and snow splashed everywhere, and Huo Yu felt that his hands were empty, and the whole reindeer was pulled up by his bare hands.
The surrounding wolves let the splashes of ice and snow hit their faces and looked at Huo Yu blankly.
Arctic wolves are self-aware. Even if they are the top beasts in this land of ice and snow, they definitely do not have the power of Huo Yu.
Huo Yu himself was secretly frightened. He knew that after the wolf totem tattoo was activated, his physical fitness would be greatly improved, but he did not expect that the effect would be so abnormal.
This is no longer an improvement, but a special function.
In other words, the function of this kind of totem tattoo is to give oneself the special skills of a certain animal, and its effect is even greater than that of the animal itself.
The skills of the Arctic wolf are currently known, including enhanced sense of smell, enhanced hearing, enhanced endurance and enhanced strength.
Perhaps there is also a cold-resistant characteristic. Since the tattoo appeared, Huoyu has been covered in sweat but still does not feel the cold.
Although the power of the wolf is not very prominent among animals, after turning into a totem power and acting on Huoyu, it also exerted a superhuman effect.
Based on this situation, will I be able to get other animal totem tattoos in the future, so as to master more 'superpowers'?
You know, there are many special functions in the animal kingdom.
Well-known ones include: the great strength of ants, the flying ability of eagles, the camouflage of chameleons, the lightness of cats...
These abilities can only be regarded as ordinary. The reason why humans think these abilities are already very powerful is because in addition to their superior IQ, humans have no competitive body structure and are incomparable with most animals.
These abilities are only physical superpowers, which are effective but not outrageous enough.
There are even more outrageous superpowers in the animal kingdom, such as: ultrasound, venom, electric discharge...
There are even more rare superpowers that only a very few animals or even a certain kind of animal can master:
Breathing fire (fire-breathing fish), becoming immortal (lighthouse jellyfish), feeling electrical signals (shark)…
If these abilities can also be used on Huo Yu through totem tattoos, then Superman, mutants, and Batman will have to step aside!
Sure enough, the animals in nature are our own nobles.
