The night shadows made Chen Wen's attack speedier and deadlier.
Fast, easy to understand.
But deadly, Chen Wen only understood it now.
He suddenly raised the axe, hardly aiming, and chopped it down.
In the dimness, it was as if an invisible thread was guiding the axe, slashing it past the lynx and pounding fiercely onto the head of the Wolf Mink.
Crack!
The skin split, and the bones shattered and brains burst!
The lynx shivered with fear, immediately loosening its hold and retreating.
Chen Wen stepped forward, placing a foot on the body of the Wolf Mink, yanking out the axe, and hacked again.
Crack!
Executioner Chen Wen was online once more, putting on a grand show right before the lynx!
"Effortless and easy!"
Chen Wen lifted the axe and instinctively kicked the Wolf Mink.
Just as the lynx was about to criticize Chen Wen's bloody methods, it suddenly realized something.
Before the lynx could shout out.
Chen Wen's reaction was even quicker.
[Swift] activated.
He suddenly sprang backwards, the axe raising to slash into the air.
But this time the axe missed the Wolf Mink jumping down from the tree.
"Damn it, really hiding in the tree!"
The sudden attack startled Chen Wen, cold sweat broke out on his back.
This ambushing Wolf Mink was even larger than the one that had died.
It snarled angrily and turned to run.
Apparently, it was a beast that knew when to back down.
Chen Wen laughed lightly, letting the lynx strike.
The speed of the Wolf Mink is very slow; despite being the largest terrestrial weasel species, they lost the weasel's forte — speed.
The Wolf Mink's speed was far inferior to the lynx.
Soon, it was caught by the lynx.
The lynx and Wolf Mink began to confront each other.
Chen Wen felt the trees, moving towards them under the faint starlight.
Seeing Chen Wen approaching, the Wolf Mink panicked.
It attempted to escape by climbing a tree.
But since it was discovered, Chen Wen wouldn't let the Wolf Mink leave.
He charged forward suddenly, arriving beneath the tree.
Before the Wolf Mink could utilize its impressive climbing ability, Chen Wen yanked it down with a flick of his wrist.
The Wolf Mink turned to bite back, but Chen Wen decisively let go, kicked it over.
As the Wolf Mink struggled to right itself.
Chen Wen stepped forward, swinging the axe down with a swoosh, cutting into the Wolf Mink's belly.
The Wolf Mink immediately let out a piercing cry, and Chen Wen pulled out the axe for a blow to the head.
Crack.
The sound of fracturing, and the cries were abruptly cut off.
Chen Wen shook off the blood from the axe and completely relaxed.
"Any more?"
Chen Wen asked calmly.
The lynx sniffed but the stench of blood was too strong, already masking the scent of the Wolf Mink.
As for sounds, there was no movement around.
The lynx thus deduced: "There shouldn't be any more, I can't hear other sounds."
Upon hearing this, Chen Wen matter-of-factly picked up the two Wolf Minks.
The lynx looked at the two bleeding Wolf Minks and couldn't help but shiver.
Fortunately, it had decisively joined Chen Wen, otherwise, it might have received an axe blow itself…
The lynx shivered again.
...
At the camp.
Hua Yun was feeling a bit anxious listening to the commotion outside.
Judging from the sounds, it seemed Chen Wen and the lynx had the upper hand.
But not seeing the specific situation, Hua Yun was still worried.
After all, Wolf Minks were predators.
An unlucky strike to the vitals could be fatal!
Just as Hua Yun's thoughts ran wild.
The last Wolf Mink slowly approached from behind her.
This Wolf Mink had no clue what had happened, nor did it know its two companions had been dealt with by Chen Wen.
It was still dreaming of ambushing this two-legged creature, rendering her combat ineffective, and taking all the food the two-legger had.
But dreams were lovely while reality was harsh.
As soon as the Wolf Mink stepped out of the darkness, the Golden Eagle began a sudden dive.
It didn't call out, maintaining its silence as much as possible.
This was a surprise attack method Chen Wen taught it.
Accompanied by a fierce wind-breaking noise, the Golden Eagle dived at a speed of 320 kilometers per hour.
Its talons tore through the Wolf Mink's skin in an instant.
Once the attack landed, the Golden Eagle quickly distanced itself.
This was another injury-free hunting technique taught by Chen Wen.
In the past, the Golden Eagle would have desperately flared its wings, clutching its prey tightly, pecking at it with its beak.
But now, the Golden Eagle no longer needed to be so reckless.
At the moment the surprise attack succeeded, Hua Yun quickly reacted.
Seeing the Golden Eagle knock the Wolf Mink down and then retreat, Hua Yun understood and immediately drew her bow and nocked an arrow.
Whoosh!
Beyond seven steps, the arrow was swift.
Within seven steps, the arrow was not only fast, but precise and deadly!
With a thud.
The sharp arrow pierced through the Wolf Mink's body, pinning it to the ground.
Absolutely doomed.
Seeing the Wolf Mink nailed to the ground, the Golden Eagle shook its wings, looking proud.
"Nicely done!"
Hua Yun revealed a dagger, eyes filled with approval: "I'll have Chen Wen reward you with more food later."
The Golden Eagle looked at the dagger, no longer proud.
Even after spending quite some time with Chen Wen and Hua Yun, it still had a mental shadow when it came to Hua Yun's dagger.
Hua Yun didn't care about the Golden Eagle, directly using the dagger to cut the Wolf Mink's throat.
At this moment, Chen Wen and the lynx also emerged from the darkness.
"How's it going? I caught an ambushing Wolf Mink on this side."
Holding up her prey confidently, Hua Yun said.
She felt good about how she handled things this time.
Chen Wen casually tossed two headless Wolf Minks onto the floor of the shelter: "Two, one was ambushed and killed instantly by me, the other tried to ambush me but got counter-killed."
Hua Yun looked up at the sky, suddenly feeling a sense of defeat.
"It seems it's just these three Wolf Minks, likely a small group of one male and two females trying their luck here."
Chen Wen picked up a flashlight, saying: "I'll go check around to ensure there are no other Wolf Minks, you handle these three here at the camp."
Hua Yun nodded.
Patrolling around the shelter was not something she could handle.
Chen Wen nodded, leading the lynx back into the woods.
...
Ten minutes later.
As Hua Yun was skinning the second Wolf Mink, Chen Wen returned.
He reported his findings to Hua Yun: "Just these three, I found the direction they came from and their footprints. At most, there were only three sets of footprints. They cleaned up the offal and bones we discarded, and the Wolf Minks have big appetites. I guess they weren't full, so they wanted to try our rabbit stew and ended up meeting their match."
"After being discovered, these three Wolf Minks might have encountered humans for the first time and were unaware of our combat capabilities. They foolishly tried to ambush us and thus got eliminated."
With that, Chen Wen glanced at the lynx: "If there were three lynxes, it would be really tough for us to catch them. However, if they were lynxes, they wouldn't dare attack us."
This statement was spot on, as Canadian lynxes and Wolf Minks were different, emphasizing caution.
Though Canadian lynxes ranked third, sometimes even second among the lynx family by weight.
Their combat prowess was less than the smallest bobcat.
Canadian lynxes weren't called North American lynxes like Eurasian lynxes because bobcats block them in higher latitude regions.
When it comes to combat power, bobcats can handle coyotes, hunt white-tailed deer, and vie with coyotes for food.
Canadian lynxes' combat power falls short, although they can snatch food from other predators.
But most times, they're ones who get robbed more often.
Additionally, they tend to avoid conflicts, unlike the aggressive bobcats.
Although what Chen Wen said was true, it made the lynx snort discontentedly.
