Chapter 1561: How fragrant
At Zhang Zian’s signal, the Elfins all exercised restraint and always kept a safe distance. They only stopped the gray wolf from running away, and did not further anger or scare it.
The gray wolf’s eyes and movements were filled with fear, anger, unwillingness, humiliation, despair, and other extremely negative situations. It only knew that it was surrounded, and its instinct as a beast told it that these seemingly ordinary animals were only ordinary on the surface.
Zhang Zian had never dealt with wolves before, so he was nervous. After all, he was facing a carnivorous beast, and he did not have the dynamic vision and sensitive movements of elves. If the gray wolf really pounced on him … He would be lying if he said he was not afraid.
However, it was more important to stay calm and collected in such a situation. Although it sounded like metaphysics that animals could sense human emotions, it was not the case. The hormonal changes in the human body would be reflected in the exhaled air and sweat. With the sensitive sense of smell of canines, they could sense things on a deeper level.
Although it was his first time dealing with wolves, he was very familiar with dogs, especially since he got to know little white and a large group of stray dogs under it. He had come into contact with many large fierce dogs. When he walked into the large group of dirty, stinky, and fierce stray dogs, he was so scared that his legs went soft. Not to mention that it was his first time feeding them and he had no experience. When it almost caused a riot among the stray dogs, if it wasn’t for little White’s full suppression, something might have happened.
What was the essential difference between wolves and large fierce dogs?
If one had to be serious, large fierce dogs were actually scarier than wolves, because wolves were afraid of people, but large fierce dogs were not afraid of people. In fact, many large dog breeds were even trained and nurtured as guard dogs … What was a guard dog? To put it bluntly, it was a breed of dog that specialized in dealing with humans, and the training it had undergone was to pounce and bite people.
A Doberman might not be able to bite a wild gray wolf, but when it bit a person, it would definitely not be as cautious as a gray wolf.
So he tried to adjust his mentality, quietly recalling the process of dealing with the large fierce dogs under little white, and constantly gave himself psychological hints that even those more dangerous large fierce dogs did not do anything to him, let alone a Wolf that was originally afraid of people.
The psychological cue gradually took effect. He recalled those large fierce dogs that looked extremely fierce. As long as he got to know them well, they were not much different from gentle breeds like Golden Retrievers. They would also roll around in front of him when they were happy, and when they ate the extra reward food, they would be as excited as children who got a game machine.
The sweat on his forehead and body was gradually dried by the wind.
The change in his mentality was reflected in the change in the hormones in his body. Although he could not feel the change in his hormone level, he could feel that his heartbeat was slowing down and his breathing was not so rapid. He no longer looked at the gray wolf as a dangerous beast, but as a stray dog running in the wilderness.
On the other hand, the gray wolf noticed that the elves had no intention of attacking it. Coupled with the consumption of physical strength, it temporarily gave up its attempt to break out of the encirclement and gasped for breath.
After it calmed down, it had the energy to feel the details of its surroundings. It didn’t know about Zhang Zian’s psychological changes, but the smell of hormones floating from his body made it feel that this person had eliminated his hostility towards it. It was not like the initial elimination on the surface, but the elimination from the heart.
It turned its head to look at him, and to its surprise, he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking very relaxed.
Zhang Zian did sit down, because at his height, standing would give him a lot of pressure. In real life, when meeting people as tall as Yao Ming, even if Yao Ming was smiling, normal people would feel some pressure.
Sitting down did not mean that he had completely relaxed his guard. In fact, he had folded the tent in front of his chest as a protection, and hid a bear-proof spray between the tent and his chest. If it really pounced on him and bit him, he would not be powerless to fight back. He would put the tent into its mouth first, and then spray its eyes with the spray.
Wanting to hurt it and wanting to protect themselves were two completely different mentalities, and the smell of their hormones were also completely different. This was why one should never have the intention to hurt others, but one should always be on guard.
Not only that, but he also gave the elves a look, indicating for them to sit down.
The Elfins didn’t know what he was thinking and felt that he was being a bit arrogant. But after being with him for so long, they knew that he wasn’t a rash person. Instead, he was full of bad ideas, so they all sat down to rest.
The scene quieted down. At first, one could still hear some panting, but then it was almost completely silent.
Zhang Zian deliberately avoided making eye contact with the gray wolf. He looked up at the sky for a while, and then looked into the forest in boredom.
After a long time, the elves saw that the gray wolf didn’t seem to have any intention of attacking, and they also yawned.
The tense atmosphere disappeared.
Even so, Zhang Zian didn’t know what his next step was.
He was very curious about this young gray wolf. He wanted to know why it wanted to bite those cats to death. Did someone ask it to do so?
He wanted to live in peace with it, but he knew that it would not tell him anything through words, so he felt that what he was doing now was a waste of time. What was the point?
Or maybe we can try to be friends?
It was well known that dogs were domesticated by wild wolves, but unlike domestic cats, which originated from North Africa and the Middle East, the ancient people all over the world had domesticated wolves, so it should be easier to domesticate wild wolves than wild cats.
He didn’t have any extravagant hopes of taming this Wolf, as that would waste a lot of time and energy, and it was also meaningless. Even if he did, he couldn’t just casually take it away … However, it was still possible for him to make friends with it. There were many legends of people making friends with wolves in history, and there were also stories of Mister Dongguo and the wolf. All of these showed that the ancients often interacted with wild wolves, and if the wolf didn’t meet, it would eat people. Although the authenticity of these legends and fables couldn’t be verified, they were definitely not baseless.
After a while, he took out an egg white bar from his backpack and ate it with relish. This thing was not only edible for humans, but it could also be used as a subst.i.tute meal for the elves. There was a little sugar but no salt in it.
Not only did he eat it himself, but he also threw food to the elves who needed to eat, so that everyone could eat together.
The gray wolf was a little confused by their actions, and the smell of food made it drool.
“Do you want to eat?”
Zhang Zian also threw an egg white stick at it, which rolled a few times on the ground and landed in front of it.
It nervously took two or three steps back, staring at the egg white bar as if it was some dangerous item.
After waiting for about ten seconds, the egg white bar didn’t suddenly turn into a monster that bared its fangs and brandished its claws. Instead … It was very fragrant.
