Yue Yi and Luna, two mischievous kids, were chased out of the wooden cabin's attic by mom's Vigorous Vajra Palm. The cabin that was chaotic moments ago suddenly returned to silence.

A few round little snow owls are now the new darlings of the cabin...

Their mother, with injured wings, can't protect them. She has no choice but to watch as a group of loving women snatch away her children. After nibbling on some beef jerky given by the two-legged creatures, she curls up in the attic window, crack open, sadly tucks her neck, and closes her eyes, pretending everything is okay.

Balang's two chubby sons, Schuck and Beta, just battled two Springers, and now fell into a half-asleep state, curled up in the dog house.

The two Springers, after regaining freedom, immediately shook off the two rascals' entanglement, grabbed the leash themselves, and ran to Razer, never wanting to go near those mischievous kids again.

Yue Yi, downcast, sat on the bench at the door, endlessly complaining to big brother Zack about Luna's violence and mom's ruthlessness...

Luna hugged Eva, dressed like a ball, and giggled as she boasted to Angel about how she just tamed the two Springers. As for Yue Yi's grumbling nearby, she pretended not to hear.

Yue Yi messed up his hair, soon drawn to the porcupine head formed by quick freezing...

He tested the pricking strength of his hair with his hand and then looked at Zack with surprise, saying, "Zack, look at my hair, don't I look like a porcupine now?"

Zack wanted to nod but saw Yue Yi eyeing Luna mischievously; he shook his head and said, "Porcupines are too weak; when your hair grows into a porcupine, it should be very cool."

Yue Yi touched his hair, nodded in frustration, and said, "It's boring, my BB gun is confiscated, Schuck and Beta keep sleeping, Balang doesn't want to hang out with us, those little wolves all disappeared…"

Speaking of which, Yue Yi rolled up his sleeves, stood up, and said, "Let's go to the greenhouse to find Harlow and Katie, they surely are willing to play with us."

Zack listened, his face wrinkled in worry, just about to console the energetic little brother, when from afar, he heard Mountain Eagle's call...

"Come over, let's go fishing…"

As soon as Yue Yi heard, he jumped up pulling Zack to go along…

Nearby Luna, hearing the commotion, holding Eva and pulling Angel, wanted to follow. But Xiao Wan, rushing out, grabbed her ear...

"By the river, it's too cold, girls are not allowed to go…"

Luna turned to look at Xiao Wan's serious expression, then at Yue Yi running away merrily. She frowned, widened her eyes at Xiao Wan, and said, "Mum, I'm not afraid of cold, let me go…"

Xiao Wan resolutely shook her head and said, "You come inside with me, we have some time this afternoon, we need to arrange your girls' room.

Boys can sleep in the dog house, can girls sleep in the dog house too?"

Luna, holding her ear, leaned back, pouting, and said, "I can, I can even sleep in the bear's den, wolf's den…

Let me go fishing, I can even sleep on the floor at night!"

Xiao Wan, amused by the little girl's mischievous demeanor, smilingly took out her phone and showed a few photos and said, "Here are your bed-wetting photos at home. If you don't listen to me, I'll show them to your dad."

"Ah…"

Luna instantly forgot about the fishing, chased Xiao Wan into the house, throwing tantrums, begging the wicked stepmom to delete her embarrassing history.

Angel looked at little sister Eva, left at the door, sucking her thumb, confused...

She shrugged, imitating Xiao Wan's posture, pointing at Eva, and couldn't help but burst into laughter…

Then she hugged the confused little sister, kissed her, opened the door, and walked into the house, showing no interest at all in dad's fishing game.

Mountain Eagle, holding several fishing poles, joined Yue Yi and Zack. The three met up with Razer at the dock, boarded the fishing boat driven by Quida…

Quida is a real old fisherman; when Razer was mixing his so-called secret bait, he already knew what fish this old buddy wanted to catch.

Once everyone was present, Quida started the fishing boat, traveled about a kilometer downstream, then turned into a tributary, stopping upstream at a slightly steady water bay.

Razer quickly checked Quida's standing location, couldn't help but give thumbs up, then called Mountain Eagle to help dump several buckets of mixed bait into the river water.

As the foul-smelling mixture of minced meat and innards hit the water, it was carried downstream by the river.

The boat also drifted downstream with the current; when Quida reached the slower midpoint of the river bay, he dropped an anchor tied with green nylon rope.

Quida, as an Inuit fisherman, felt some strange awe toward Razer; he wrapped himself in thick fur after stopping the boat, cowering in the helm, silently drinking.

The atmosphere was slightly odd, but Mountain Eagle didn't mind. He held Yue Yi, helped him fix the fishing line, tied the sinker, then took the lure made from a cut soda can handed by Razer...

Seeing the simple lure adorned with some unknown hair strands, Mountain Eagle laughed as he baited, saying, "Can this really work? I have ready lures here…"

Razer, moving quickly, already cast his bait into the river, and just when he wanted to help Zack arrange the pole, he noticed Zack moving swiftly as well…

Seeing this nine-year-old boy skillfully casting the lure into the river, landing just upstream from his chosen spot, Razer couldn't help but nod…

Looking at Zack's clearly Slavic-featured appearance, Razer said to Mountain Eagle, "This kid is really good…"

Mountain Eagle helped Yue Yi cast the bait into the river, then pressed him into the seat.

Hearing Razer's words, Mountain Eagle smiled and patted Zack's back, saying, "Not only good, this kid is great, better than many adults!"

Saying this, Mountain Eagle casually tied his bait and cast it into the river, then rolled up his sleeves to reveal the scar on his wrist, saying, "Now you can tell us, what exactly happened?

You said you've seen a similar beast in the Arctic, I'm not surprised, because the laboratory I destroyed was near the Arctic Circle, and I guess the legend of the Arctic Werewolf that Quida once told me is related to that lab.

But I destroyed that lab and obtained all their research materials, yet there's no record of the incidents near the Arctic Circle, only some photos and handwritten experiment notes.

I'm not interested in such matters, so I haven't studied those materials in detail, but now it seems things aren't as simple as I thought."

Faced with Mountain Eagle's questions, Razer seemed to be caught in some sort of reminiscence. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "When I was young, I saw that 'Werewolf'...

He wore a wolf skin and a wolf head cap, leading a pack of Arctic wolves living on the tundra in the Arctic Circle, hunting and raiding the logistics warehouse of the energy company to satisfy his survival needs.

At that time, I was already a somewhat renowned Hunter, and because the Wolf Pack had frequently attacked, an energy company invited me to hunt the pack.

I tracked the pack on foot across the tundra, spending nearly two months figuring out their patterns of movement.

Finally, I found the pack's lair in a bush near the coast, witnessing them battle with two Polar Bears.

The starving Polar Bears were terrifying, killing most of the adult Arctic wolves.

Just as the Polar Bears were about to bite down on the wolf pups, the Werewolf returned with the hunting pack.

He single-handedly killed the two Polar Bears with a long spear, then he discovered my presence...

I was terrified at the time and fired a shot at him...

That guy fell, and to escape the pursuit of the remaining Arctic wolves, I began fleeing across the tundra.

When I shook off the wolves' pursuit and returned to the bush, the Wolf Pack had left, and various foxes, coyotes, and wolverines gathered at the battlefield to feast on the Polar Bears' and wolves' flesh. A vicious and strong coyote claimed the Werewolf's body.

That coyote was very frightening, although not as large as your two cougars, it moved swiftly and was unreasonably fierce.

I was very regretful at the time, because the Werewolf hadn't threatened me, nor shown any intention to attack me, yet I shot him dead.

So, I drove away those coyotes and foxes, wanting to examine his body, and perform an ice burial for him according to Inuit tradition...

And during the driving away, that strong coyote bit my arm..."

Saying this, Razer showed Mountain Eagle the wound on his arm, saying, "I thought it was the Werewolf's soul taking revenge on me, so I did not resist.

But when the coyote drank enough of my blood, it stopped biting and turned to leave the place.

I lost a lot of blood at the time, only managing to send out a rescue signal before passing out, and when I woke up, I was already at the energy company's camp.

I saw a group of doctors in lab coats, dissecting the Werewolf's body and taking out his internal organs for separate preservation.

I felt guilty, and also very afraid, so when I woke up, I left there without asking for a reward."

Mountain Eagle originally thought Razer was going to tell an intriguing story, but after listening, he spread his hands and said, "And then?

I can roughly guess that the energy company's camp was initially the base of the laboratory I destroyed in the Arctic Circle.

And then?

The origin of the Werewolf, what happened to you? What does this wound represent?"

Listening to this, Razer said with a complex expression, "I don't know, I only know that after returning home, I was weak for a long time, then my body began to change...

I no longer feared the cold, I could see things at night, and my hearing became very sharp.

Thirty years ago, I was among few Inuit near the Arctic Circle who could go out hunting during polar night and bring home prey.

I was very strong, once gambling with others, I fought a black bear with a knife in front of them.

These are my changes, sounds good, right?"

Mountain Eagle sighed when he heard this, saying, "Sounds good, so there must be something not good...

I haven't noticed any bad changes in you yet."

He said this with a worried glance at his son, saying, "You have to explain clearly, I'm really starting to worry now!"
