The little wolf cub froze when he heard Chen Qi\u2019s question, then burrowed deeper into the blanket, letting out a couple of uneasy whimpers.<\/span><\/p>

Seeing this, Chen Qi worried the little wolf cub might suffocate. He stepped forward, trying to coax it as he reached to lift the fur blanket. \u201cLittle Wolf, can I take a look?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi had long noticed the cub\u2019s intelligence\u2014it was something he\u2019d realized not long after bringing it back. Though it couldn\u2019t speak, it often reacted to the beastmen\u2019s conversations. Chen Qi sometimes suspected the little wolf cub could actually understand their words.<\/span><\/p>

The fur blanket trembled slightly. Perhaps it had been covered too long, because the little wolf cub\u2019s breathing sounded heavy. Ajing stood anxiously beside them, clutching his clothes tightly, unable to understand what was happening to Little Wolf.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cLet me do it,\u201d Ali said, gently pushing Chen Qi aside and signaling him to stand back. He pinched one corner of the blanket, softly patted the squirming cub with one hand, then suddenly lifted. When the little wolf cub tried to claw the blanket back, Ali deftly grabbed another corner and flipped it up in one motion\u2014revealing a tuft of white fur flying loose as the blanket came off completely.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi was stunned by the sight. The little wolf cub wasn\u2019t just missing patches of fur on its body\u2014even its face had large bare spots, as if the fur had been yanked off. Combined with its misty, wide eyes, it looked utterly pitiful.<\/span><\/p>

All three of them gasped, hearts aching. Chen Qi instinctively reached out to comfort the little wolf cub by patting its head\u2014but the moment his fingers brushed its fur, another handful of white hair came loose. Startled, he pulled his hand back and dared not touch it again.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cAli, what\u2019s going on? Do you know?\u201d Chen Qi asked helplessly. He had never raised animals before; Ajing was the one who usually looked after the little wolf cub, while he just helped feed it or gave it a few pats now and then. The little wolf cub had always been healthy and clever\u2014it had never needed much care.<\/span><\/p>

Ali crouched down to check, pressing the little wolf cub gently so it wouldn\u2019t crawl back under the blanket. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Though the little wolf cub looked pitiful and a bit listless, there didn\u2019t seem to be any major problem with its body. Ali, whose understanding of the giant wolf-god was based solely on hearsay, had no idea why it would suddenly start shedding fur in the middle of winter.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cUncle Ali, is Little Wolf okay?\u201d Ajing\u2019s eyes turned red when Ali didn\u2019t answer. He didn\u2019t even dare touch the little wolf cub.<\/span><\/p>

Ali shook his head. \u201cI can\u2019t tell what\u2019s wrong. It looks just like normal shedding.\u201d Standing up, he added, \u201cThere\u2019s nothing wrong with its body. Let\u2019s observe for a few days and see.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cShedding? But why would Little Wolf shed in winter?\u201d Ajing asked, confused.<\/span><\/p>

Beastmen also shed sometimes, but that usually happened in summer\u2014and by then, their fur would already have been retracted, so it wasn\u2019t very noticeable. The giant wolf-god\u2019s shedding, however, was completely different. Winter was bitterly cold\u2014if a beast lost its coat now without growing new fur, it wouldn\u2019t survive even a day.<\/span><\/p>

But the little wolf cub\u2019s fur was indeed falling off, and there was no sign of new hair growing in. Ajing couldn\u2019t help worrying\u2014what if it didn\u2019t survive the cold? He gently covered the little wolf cub again with the fur blanket. Perhaps sensing Ajing\u2019s distress, the little wolf cub stretched out its pink tongue, licked his cheek, and gave a soft whimper, as if to comfort him.<\/span><\/p>

Since none of them could find the cause, there was little else they could do. Chen Qi went to prepare some milk fruit and meat for the little wolf cub, while Ali gathered up the white fur that had scattered when he lifted the blanket.<\/span><\/p>

After eating, the little wolf cub curled back up by the fire and fell asleep again. Though everyone had already seen its patchy fur, the cub clearly didn\u2019t want to show itself\u2014it tucked its whole body into the blanket, leaving only its nose exposed to breathe.<\/span><\/p>

Ali stayed for a while, but when there was nothing more he could do, he returned to the workshop at the school. Chen Qi, however, remained behind with Ajing to look after the little wolf cub.<\/span><\/p>

That evening, when Aze came back from his shift and saw the little wolf cub\u2019s condition, he immediately made a small temporary bed beside the fire. He piled several layers of furs underneath and replaced the little wolf cub\u2019s blanket with Chen Qi\u2019s own snow bear cloak.<\/span><\/p>

The little wolf cub lost his fur very quickly. By the next day, half of that beautiful white coat had fallen off, revealing patches of tender pink skin beneath\u2014it looked as unsightly as could be.<\/span><\/p>

During this period, when others in the tribe heard that the little wolf cub was sick, they all brought meat he liked to visit him. When he saw people coming, the little wolf cub burrowed back into the blanket again and stubbornly refused to let anyone see what he looked like now. Chen Qi felt both heartache and amusement at the sight. In the end, he had no choice but to accept all the meat they brought and briefly explained the little wolf cub\u2019s condition, reassuring them before sending them away.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

By the third day, all the little wolf cub\u2019s fur had fallen off completely. Even while hiding in the snow bear\u2019s fur, he couldn\u2019t stop shivering. Chen Qi lit another fire behind him, warming the whole room until it finally felt better. The only comfort was that the little wolf cub\u2019s appetite wasn\u2019t affected. Aside from being furless, afraid of the cold, and needing to stay indoors every day, he wasn\u2019t much different from usual. Occasionally, to keep everyone from worrying too much, he would get up and walk a few steps, but that snow bear fur cloak had become his new skin\u2014he never took it off.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi modified another piece of snow bear hide into clothing for the little wolf cub. With the cover of the garment, the little wolf cub was finally willing to wander around the room when not sleeping. However, the two fires never went out. To take care of the little wolf cub, Ajing even moved his own bedding out and slept beside the fires with him every day.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Chen Qi thought the little wolf cub\u2019s fur would soon grow back, but even by the time the first siege crossbow was completed, the cub was still completely bald.<\/span><\/p>

The siege crossbow\u2019s bolts were made of wood. The weather had been too cold to fire a furnace and forge iron heads, but they had made a few bone ones and tested them on the hydrochoerus dragons loitering nearby. The bone bolts could wound the hydrochoerus dragons, but could not penetrate them; that level of lethality was far from enough to kill hyena-drakes. However, the weapon\u2019s advantage was its long range \u2014 it did not require close-quarters combat and could greatly reduce the beastmen\u2019s casualties.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi was not satisfied with the current results, so he pulled the beastmen to continue working in the workshop, hoping to create a siege crossbow with greater lethality.<\/span><\/p>

In those days of building crossbows while caring for the little wolf cub, time passed quickly, and Ahxu and the others who had gone to exchange information with the Lion-Wolf Tribe also returned.<\/span><\/p>

This time, Ahxu and his group didn\u2019t encounter any hyena-drakes on the road, but they brought back bad news from the Lion-Wolf Tribe.<\/span><\/p>

Besides Ajiu\u2019s tribe, many other tribes had been wiped out by the hyena-drakes overnight. A few beastmen as lucky as Ajiu managed to escape and fled to nearby small tribes. After spreading the news, those tribes packed up their families and went to take refuge with the Lion-Wolf Tribe. Within just a few months of winter, the Lion-Wolf Tribe had gained several thousand more people. Except for the males and children, many of the newly arrived females didn\u2019t even have houses to live in and had to settle outside.<\/span><\/p>

The sudden influx of people was too much for the Lion-Wolf Tribe to accommodate. To give the females a temporary place to rest, they dug several caves at the edge of the rocky mountain. However, because of this increase in numbers, the tribe\u2019s defenses became even stricter. Being near the Dosa River, they didn\u2019t have to worry about food shortages either.<\/span><\/p>

The locust dragons that hadn\u2019t returned last time were finally confirmed to have mostly settled near the Dosa River, with a small portion suspected to have crossed it. Some beastmen who had been hunting by the river reported seeing traces of locust dragons on the opposite bank.<\/span><\/p>

This news once again cast a tense and heavy atmosphere over Qi Ze City. But no one mentioned abandoning the city to take refuge with the Lion-Wolf Tribe. Everyone simply continued working silently. Those making crossbows moved even faster, hoping to have enough weapons ready to protect the tribe before the hyena-drakes attacked.<\/span><\/p>

Patrol duties increased from once a day to three times a day, with several more people added to each team. They made sure every patrol could be carried out safely.<\/span><\/p>

After the seventh hydrochoerus dragon fell into a trap, traces of antelope-dragons and hare-dragons began appearing on the plains again. Occasionally, a lone locust dragon would wander out of the plains but soon return to the forest. When a patrol team discovered a stegosaurus near the forest, they shortened their patrol range\u2014clearly, the stegosaurus had no intention of leaving the forest yet.<\/span><\/p>

Shaking off the snowflakes from his cloak, Chen Qi took it off and hung it on the rack by the fire to dry. Ever since he had left the snow bear fur cloak for the little wolf cub to use, Chen Qi had to mentally prepare himself every time before going outside. If there were glasses available, he really would have wanted to wrap his eyes up before heading out.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Standing by the fire to warm himself, Ajing handed him a dry, heated towel. Chen Qi carefully wiped the melted snow from his eyelashes and glanced at the little wolf cub curled up nearby, wrapped in animal hide with only a pair of shiny black eyes and a nose showing. He asked softly, \u201cHas Little Wolf been well today?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Ajing nodded. \u201cLittle Wolf also ate well today\u2014and even more than yesterday.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cAwoo<\/span><\/i>.\u201d The little wolf cub let out a soft cry, as if responding to Ajing\u2019s words.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi leaned over and touched the little wolf cub\u2019s head through the hide. \u201cHas Little Wolf still not started growing fur today?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Hearing this, the little wolf cub licked Chen Qi\u2019s cold fingers and drooped his head.<\/span><\/p>

The little wolf cub\u2019s fur had been gone for over a month, with no sign of regrowth. At first, everyone had been worried for days, but seeing that he showed no physical discomfort apart from being a bit dispirited, they gradually relaxed. They could only try making all kinds of tasty food to help him regrow his fur sooner.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s okay. Even if Little Wolf has no fur in the future, I\u2019ll still like him just as much as before,\u201d Ajing promised.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi smiled and rubbed the two little ones\u2019 heads in praise.<\/span><\/p>

After the group had played for a while, Aze returned. He was now in charge of patrols and no longer needed to stand guard on the city wall, so Chen Qi hadn\u2019t gone up there recently.<\/span><\/p>

Helping Aze remove his snow-covered white cloak, Chen Qi saw his serious expression and asked curiously, \u201cDid something happen today?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Aze wiped his wet hair with a dry towel and nodded. \u201cThe number of dragons moving nearby has started to decrease again these past two days.\u201d<\/span><\/p>
