Mountain Eagle curiously leaned over, pressing his hand on Marta's neck, and said, "What happened?"

Tiffany said with a look of lingering fear, "I didn't see clearly. We were setting up the tent, and then a very large animal bumped into Marta..."

Lilith checked her and she's just fainted, not too serious!"

Mountain Eagle was amused by the girls' misfortune...

He bent down, picked up Marta, and placed her on his folding bed, then took out a smelling salt and waved it under her nose, the pungent smell quickly brought back Marta's consciousness...

The unlucky Marta opened her eyes, looking at the kids leaning over the bed and watching her. She struggled to prop up her body, looked around, and found Tiffany and Lilith were there. She breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "There's a really scary big guy outside..."

As she spoke, Marta hugged the giggling Luna, wrinkled her nose, pressed her forehead against Luna's, and fiercely said, "Don't laugh at me, that big guy is really scary!"

Luna opened her little mouth and made a scared expression, saying, "What is it?"

Marta blinked her eyes at Mountain Eagle, who looked disdainful, and said gloomily, "I didn't see it clearly..."

Luna put away her scared expression, giggling and said to Mountain Eagle, "Daddy, Marta is a coward, let's go catch that big guy and eat it..."

Mountain Eagle had already sent Crow to the incident site when Tiffany explained the situation, and soon found the 'culprit'...

What he didn't expect was that the culprit was actually that white moose they saw last time!

In the middle of the night, being bumped in the woods by such a big guy is indeed shocking.

Watching the white moose pick up the tent Tiffany and the others were setting up and throw it aside, Mountain Eagle disdainfully looked at Tiffany and Lilith, saying, "Looks like you have a lot to learn, like not setting up camp on an animal's territory..."

Tiffany lowered her head gloomily and said, "I've already checked the surroundings, apart from the moose tracks, I didn't find any other animal footprints...

Marta was a bit far from me at the time, when I heard the commotion and rushed over, I only saw a gigantic shadow running away.

In the Alaskan winter, there are no large predatory animals active, I..."

Mountain Eagle looked at Tiffany, who seemed a bit guilty, waved his hand, and said, "I'm not blaming you, I just think the harsher the environment, the more cautious we should be, especially with rookies around."

Saying this, Mountain Eagle looked at Marta, who had a gloomy face, and laughed, "Especially such a green rookie as you...

Hurry up and have some soup to warm yourself, tonight you should stay at the Hunter's Lodge, or I worry you'll get yourselves killed."

Tiffany and Marta were long used to Mountain Eagle's sharp tongue, but only Lilith was still a bit reluctant to go out and find trouble with the 'big guy'.

Mountain Eagle quickly grabbed this fierce military doctor, letting her sit with the kids and eat something...

Just as Marta had a bowl of fish soup and her complexion looked better, a horn-like cry came from outside, and at the same time, the four Maghenxi Wolves howled, and then from afar, there was the sound of 'thump thump thump' on the ice...

Old Qiao immediately picked up a lever-action rifle and dashed out of the tent...

When everyone followed out, they almost exclaimed in unison...

A huge white moose, driven by the four wolves, ran onto the ice, its massive body reflecting gentle brilliance under the starlight, giving it a sacred feel...

If it wasn't running so frantically, this big moose could look even cooler!

But for some reason, whether it was the slippery ice or something else, the massive white moose, after running about a hundred meters on the ice, lost control of its limbs like a rookie learning to skate...

Trying to steady its balance, the moose spread its limbs outward while trying to shoo away the four wolves with its large hooves...

This big guy's clumsy sliding lessened its sacred aura, and Quida, who was muttering away, closed his mouth and, with a frown, said to Mountain Eagle, "Boss, white animals are incarnations of spirits, we shouldn't harm them..."

Just as Quida finished speaking, one of the white moose's hooves suddenly slipped, disrupting its overall rhythm.

Seeing this big fellow tumbling down like a cartoon character, its limbs flailing, Mountain Eagle whistled to Balang and pointed towards the four wolves...

Barely able to contain himself, Balang shot out like an arrow from a bow, sprinting nearly a hundred meters like a meteor chasing the moon, and just as one Maghenxi Wolf was about to bite the moose, he used his shoulder to knock the wolf away.

These wolves were brought up by Balang through a mix of fights and bites. Seeing their fierce godfather charging over, they all braked to a halt around the moose.

The white moose, taking advantage of the wolves' pause in their attack, tried its best to stand up, but despite several attempts, it didn't succeed...

At this point, Mountain Eagle noticed bloodstains on the snowy ice and frowned, "The moose is injured...

What could hurt such a big guy? If it gets angry, even a black bear has to give way."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle put on the controller and linked all the Magengxi Wolves, issuing a command to stop their intimidation. Then, he exchanged a glance with the most experienced Old Qiao, instructed Zack and Angel to restrain Luna and Yue Yi, and slowly approached the distressed white Moose...

Old Qiao showed his expertise; he took out a small horn made from some kind of animal horn from his back waist. As he advanced, he played the horn, emitting a deep, horn-like sound...

After the horn changed several frequencies, the Moose, which had been trying to stand up, slowly calmed down...

In this situation, Old Qiao did not let his guard down. After all, this was a giant beast; a kick from it would feel no different than being hit by a battering ram.

Old Qiao led Mountain Eagle in a circling path to the rear of the Moose, turned on the flashlight to inspect the giant beast, and then pointed at its hip, saying, "Look there, it's injured, a gunshot wound, probably from a small-caliber bullet..."

As Mountain Eagle followed Old Qiao's guidance and looked over, he found that the Moose's left hip did indeed have a large patch of red blood.

This discovery made Mountain Eagle deeply furrow his brows and say, "Who could it be?"

Mountain Eagle was not some animal protectionist; had this Moose encountered a Hunter in the wild, he would not feel anything amiss...

But the Moose's injury now indicated it hadn't encountered a Hunter...

Because, first, the Moose is not a carnivorous animal and poses no significant threat to humans. Secondly, if a Hunter encounters such a big fellow, they certainly wouldn't use a small caliber for hunting.

Besides, the nearest Native Village is several dozen kilometers away, and in winter, with inconvenient transport, Hunters wouldn't hunt such a beast weighing eight to nine hundred kilograms as they couldn't bring it back.

It could only be someone from outside...

In this season, this area is no place for tourists to come and suffer...

Looking at the Moose, it likely has been injured for some time, and Mountain Eagle clearly remembers the last time he saw this big fellow; it swam across the Yukon River heading to the wetland south of the camp.

The position they're currently in is north of the camp, several kilometers from the wetland in a straight line.

That's to say, this big fellow likely got injured in the wetland area south of the camp and crossed the river here...

Mountain Eagle watched the Moose occasionally flick its hooves and said to Old Qiao, "Is there a way to calm it down?"

Old Qiao also clearly noticed something and nodded slightly. He took off the fur from his body and slowly moved towards the Moose...

Quida, not far away, seemed to know what Old Qiao intended and pieced together two steel pipes over 5 meters long from leftover materials from tent construction, then handed them to Old Qiao...

Quida then moved to an upwind position, somehow found a piece of birch bark, lit it, and tossed the smoking bark near the Moose's position...

Old Qiao, standing about 4 meters from the white Moose, used the two steel pipes to lift his fur, slowly extending it toward the restless Moose. Seizing the moment when its head followed Balang's movements to turn around, he draped the fur over the Moose's head, isolating its vision...

Old Qiao then murmured soothing sounds, "hoo hoo," while calming the uneasy Moose, attempting to approach it.

Rescuing such large animals is extremely dangerous; a Moose weighing 800 kilograms can easily crush a human skull with its hooves.

However, Old Qiao and Quida were very experienced and did not approach the Moose directly...

Quida continuously rubbed the ice surface with his shoes, while also making "gulu, gulu" sounds from his mouth, using low-frequency noises similar to a Moose calf's call to attract the Moose's attention.

Old Qiao, meanwhile, took out a roll of paracord from his body, tied a slipknot, and using the steel pipe, slipped the knot over the Moose's two front legs. Then he jogged to the direction of the Moose's back.

Mountain Eagle realized what Old Qiao wanted to do, ran over, and took the paracord from Old Qiao's hand, repeating the action to loop the Moose's two hind legs. Then the two retreated a few meters and pulled tightly...

The Moose's two front legs and two hind legs were tied together...

At the moment of success, the Moose frantically began to swing its head and twist its body. Seeing the paracord having trouble holding up, Old Qiao called out to Quida, drew his belt, and rushed forward...

Mountain Eagle knew what the old fellow intended to do...

Seeing Quida, during his sprint, took off his coat and shook it out to cover the Moose's raised big antlers, Mountain Eagle chased after Old Qiao with strides and drew his belt, pouncing onto the more dangerous front legs...

While the Moose's legs were bound by the paracord, he used the belt to bind its two joints together and pressed his entire weight onto the big fellow's knees...

Old Qiao did the same action, but the big fellow's hind legs were noticeably stronger, and the old guy was still being dragged across the ice...

Seeing this situation, Mountain Eagle used his left side to press down on the Moose's joint, lying on the ground and lashing a powerful kick at the Moose's chest...

Under this heavy blow, the Moose's body instinctively squatted tightly, then Mountain Eagle grabbed the belt on the front leg joint with his left hand and the belt tied by Old Qiao on the hind leg with his right hand. Then, bracing his legs against the Moose's abdomen just like Captain America pulling a helicopter in the movie, he exerted his arms and roared...

"Ah..."

"Oh my god!!"
