Chapter 253 Can You Read Me a Story?
They were all bundled up and looked at the footprints for a while. The three snow wolves stood not far from them, looking vigilant. They dared not go forward but looked anxious. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
The beast, which had come so quietly the night before, frightened the three snow wolves.
Kane pondered for a moment and said, "I thought of a beast that will make the three snow wolves so scared."
Kane's forest park was large, but the territory occupied by each powerful beast was also large. So there were only a few large beasts in the forest park.
It was not difficult to guess what the beast was from the scared looks of the three snow wolves and the footprints.
"It's Otis!"
Almost everyone thought of the big white tiger that had been hiding.
But Kane couldn't understand why Otis would come here.
Things would get tricky if it was Otis. Even Kane himself dared not get close to it. It had skilled people, although it was defending itself at that time.
When his staff released wild rabbits and pheasants in the park, Otis just scared them away with a roar and didn't harm them, but it was threatening.
It was safe if Otis stayed in its territory and no one else got close to it. But now it was out. That would be dangerous.
Kane was fearless, especially in the face of these powerful beasts.
"I don't know how Otis came down here. I'd love to see it. I should have had a camera here last night."
Everyone admired Kane's boldness.
"Never mind. Let's leave here."
Shawn was worried about Nancy's safety.
Nancy poked at the snow wolves and wanted to play with them for a few more days.
"There's nothing to be afraid of. Maybe Otis is just passing by. Didn't everyone look fine yesterday? If Otis has any bad intentions, this house won't stop it from doing what it wanted to do."
Kane did not want to leave either. He would stay in the forest park for at least three days every time he came to see his animals. What was more, he really wanted to see Otis, even if he could only see it in the distance.
Shawn frowned and looked down at Nancy, whose eyes were shining with expectation.
She also wanted to stay, but she was good and did not want to cause trouble to Shawn, so she would not be willful.
Shawn sighed and rubbed Nancy's head.
"Well. Let's stay."
Nancy smiled when she heard Shawn's words.
"But if Otis comes here tonight again, we must leave tomorrow."
Kane nodded.
Then he became very interested in the footprints Otis left on the ground, and he thought that he could find Otis as long as he followed the footprints.
As he thought so, he did do it. He followed the footprints until they disappeared under a big tree.
"Otis must have left from the tree," Kane marveled.
Ewen didn't believe it. "But can tigers climb trees? It's not a monkey, and there are no footprints anywhere else. Otis is bigger than normal tigers."
Kane said, "I like to call Otis the King of Beasts. What if it can do something other tigers can't? And Otis is smart. It knows how to cover its tracks so that drones can't detect it."
"It was found by poachers."
Kane retorted, "That was because the poachers were too despicable. They spent three months, using a variety of advanced technologies, in finding out Otis's whereabouts, but even with the advanced weapons, they still lost to Otis. They were so stupid and weak."
Kane was very fond of Otis, the fierce tiger. He treated the three snow wolves like his sons, but he respected Otis as a strong man.
"I should like to see him."
Ivan grumbled, "Aren't you afraid Rick and the other two wolves will get angry if they know you love Otis so much?"
The three snow wolves surrounded Nancy and brought her gifts, not feeling sad about Kane's love for Otis.
All right. They had their loved ones.
Nancy was holding presents from the snow wolves. There was an edible fruit, a beautiful flower, and a hot stone.
"Thank you."
She smoothed the three snow wolves from head to tail and then carried their gifts to Shawn.
"Look, the snow wolves have given us gifts! I haven't seen the white fruit and the beautiful flowers before. And the stone is warm."
She muttered as she took everything out.
Shawn looked at the things and was a bit stunned.
He had not seen the fruit, but he knew the flower.
That was saussurea involucrate. It would grow in extremely cold places which were demanding to the growth and bloom of flowers. It wouldn't be found on normal snow mountains. This kind of wild saussurea involucrate had a high medical value.
Besides, it was in good shape.
As for the hot stone Nancy, he held it in his hand and there was heat coming out of the skin.
"You have these things in the forest park?" Shawn asked Kane in surprise.
Kane took a look and discovered that none of these things were from his forest Park, and the snow wolves never gave them to him!
Kane felt that the three wolves were biased. They loved Nancy more.
"This stone looks like a raw stone of something."
Shawn weighed the rock in his hand, feeling that there was something inside.
Nancy just ate the fruit. As for the saussurea involucrate, it was given to Nancy by the wolves, who were raised by Kane, so Shawn didn't take it.
Kane didn't lack or want money, but he admired Shawn's medical skills.
"If I have my arms or legs hurt again, I might have to trouble you again."
Shawn was speechless.
Kane knew himself well and knew that he could get hurt again.
