While the knight easily slew the adult Icefield Wolf, Louis and his party had already swiftly infiltrated the wolf pack's den."Light the fires," Louis whispered.Several hunters immediately pulled out torches and gently lit them.Warm orange light illuminated the cave's interior; the rock walls were rough, and the air was filled with the unique musky scent of beasts.Everyone's gaze swept around, quickly finding their target deep within the cave.Over twenty Icefield Wolf pups were huddled together, trembling.They weren't very large, with dense, snow-white fur like frost, and their eyes were filled with fear of humans."So many pups!" a hunter exclaimed in a surprised whisper.Egg licked his chapped lips, his gaze fervent: "These little guys, once they grow up, will definitely be top-tier hunters..."A few of the young wolves let out a cute, yet fierce, growl towards the group, attempting to warn the intruders.When you are weak, even your anger appears cute in the eyes of others."These little guys have quite the temper," Egg chuckled."Come, little ones, have some food."A hunter gently placed a piece of meat in front of a pup huddled in a rock crevice, intentionally stepping back half a pace to appear less threatening.These meat pieces had been specially coated with a sedative concocted from herbs.It could effectively calm the pups' emotions, allowing them to relax unknowingly.A few bold and hungry pups sniffed the meaty scent in the air, and after a moment of hesitation, finally couldn't resist cautiously stepping forward to gnaw.Seeing that their companion ate the meat without issue, soon more pups began to scramble for food, even pushing their companions with their small paws, afraid of missing out.However, in less than two minutes, the sedative's effects gradually began to take hold.The previously wary pups, after eating the meat, became dazed, some even unsteady on their feet, their small bodies swaying gently."We can move now," Egg whispered."Be gentle; these are all future War Wolves," Louis instructed."Understood."The hunters gently wrapped each pup in animal hides, preventing them from struggling due to discomfort.Although a few pups remained conscious, unwilling to comply, desperately twisting their small bodies and resisting the hunters.But their strength was ultimately too small, and they were quickly and securely placed into leather bags.Thus, all twenty-odd pups lost their ability to resist and were individually placed into specially made leather bags, ensuring they would not be harmed during transport.Mission accomplished.Louis looked at the pups packed into the leather bags before him and chuckled, "Let's go."The hunters immediately hoisted the leather bags onto their backs, left the cave to rendezvous with the knight, and hurried back towards the territory....After the pups were brought back to Red Tide Territory, Louis ordered them to be placed in a pre-arranged wooden fence enclosure.The enclosure was spacious, with thick dry grass covering the ground, and even several soft nests made of animal hides were set up in the corners, mimicking the wolves' natural habitat to reduce their anxiety.Despite this, after the sudden upheaval, these pups remained highly wary.They huddled together, their furry ears perked, revealing small but sharp teeth, ready to defend against external threats at any °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° moment.Louis stood before the fence, his gaze fixed on the most unique pup in the center.It was a pup noticeably more robust than its companions, with long limbs and a hint of wild defiance in its eyes.Even as the other pups huddled together, emitting low whimpers.It still stood upright, its sharp gaze sweeping over the humans outside the fence, showing no sign of a young beast's panic.And this aura, emanating from its very bones, made it clear at a glance how different it was from the other pups."This one," Egg also noticed it, exclaiming, "is the makings of a Wolf King.""The makings of a Wolf King?" Louis suddenly thought of something, a slight smile playing on his lips, "Then you shall be called Cold Fang."The pup's ears twitched slightly, as if sensing that humans were discussing it.However, it showed no sign of backing down, staring at them warily."Egg, how do you think we should go about taming them?" Louis withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Egg, the hunter beside him.Egg's heart tightened.This question seemed casual, yet it subtly carried a hint of a test.He knew the Lord was evaluating his abilities.Egg dared not be negligent in the slightest, quickly organizing his thoughts, and respectfully replied:"First, we must establish dependence. The pups need safety and food, and we must ensure that every time we feed them, they see humans, so they will regard humans as their providers.But this is not enough. Pups are inherently fierce; taming them solely with food is unrealistic. They will guard their food, and even actively attack people; we must use a more direct method to teach them obedience.""Specifically?""If a wolf guards its food, it must be disciplined immediately. If it resists, it should be directly pinned to the ground until it gives up resistance. In the world of wolves, might makes right."Louis nodded with satisfaction: "Continue."Egg's spirits immediately lifted, the tension in his heart relaxing slightly, and he continued: "The second step, establishing order."He pointed at Cold Fang: "There is a clear hierarchy within a wolf pack, and this strongest pup, its size, demeanor, and gaze, all prove that it is a born Wolf King.Once it is tamed, the other pups will naturally follow."Upon hearing this, Louis thoughtfully reached out and gently tapped the fence.Cold Fang instinctively looked up, staring at him, its eyes holding a hint of wariness, but it did not immediately retreat."So, what is your suggestion?" Louis continued to ask.Egg bravely said: "You must personally tame Cold Fang! Only by having Cold Fang acknowledge you as its master will it and the others be absolutely loyal to you."As soon as these words left his mouth, the surrounding hunters couldn't help but look at Egg in surprise.Having the Lord personally tame a wolf? This was no ordinary boldness.But Louis revealed a meaningful smile.The Daily Intelligence System had reminded him that Egg was a master beast tamer.Now it seemed true; this old man had something special.Louis slowly stood up and patted Egg's shoulder: "Very good. From today onwards, you will be responsible for all beast-taming affairs in Red Tide Territory."Egg was stunned for a moment, then an uncontrollable excitement burst forth in his heart, and he suddenly knelt on one knee: "This subordinate will not fail your expectations!"A few months ago, he was a wretched wanderer in the Northern Territory, barely surviving by hunting.Had it not been for Louis's party passing by, he would probably have frozen to death in the snow.And now, not only had he gained the Lord's appreciation, but he had also been entrusted with a heavy responsibility!Moreover, given the Lord's character, if he performed well, he would certainly not be treated poorly.The onlookers, seeing this, cast envious glances."Egg, that guy, he's lucky...""Indeed, his status will likely be different from now on."
