Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness-Chapter 801 - 797: Picking Up Leftovers
Blitzkrieg, also known as lightning war, was a tactic used by Germany during World War II, created by the famous German General Heinz Wilhelm Guderian.
It fully utilized the fast advantages of aircraft, tanks, and mechanized troops, achieving victory through surprise attacks, and aimed to rapidly cut through enemy lines to reach the anticipated effect.
Its core elements were speed, surprise, and concentration.
It was both strategy and tactics.
Strategically, it was holistic and globally coordinated; tactically, it was ingeniously unique and highly adaptable.
Nature's alpha wolf could not possibly explain the essence of this tactic to its pack by scraping a blackboard with claws, but solely through instinct, it excelled in achieving this goal, maneuvering among the camels, using its smaller size and agility to try to isolate the smallest camel.
This bears an uncanny resemblance to Blitzkrieg.
Although this particular camel was clearly not fully grown and quite smaller, it still weighed several hundred kilograms, enough to provide a feast for these dozen or so African wolves, sparing them from hunting for at least a few days, and possibly even helping to unite a larger wolf pack, creating a war advantage.
"In 2012, also in the Sahara Desert of Africa, 12 African wolves launched a 'Blitzkrieg' against five camels, employing a divide and conquer tactic, successfully separating a young camel from the flock."
"Adult wild camels are tough to deal with, so when wolf packs hunt, they target the recently postpartum mother camels and the young calves."
"The survival rate of young camels in the wild in Mengxin territory is less than 10%, precisely because they are preyed upon by packs of wolves."
"Mother camels that have recently given birth must live near water sources on the edge of the desert, leaving them unable to seek refuge in the vast desert from predators, resulting in low defense capabilities and frequently becoming targets for wolves."
"In such situations, when mother camels are alarmed, they lack the strength to resist and often can only abandon their young to escape, although sometimes there are instances of a camel drawing the wolves away to protect the whole herd."
[Indeed, there are differences among camels.]
[Animals too can be great.]
Perhaps due to their nature, but as a professional, Bi Fang felt more that this was the herd instinct of these creatures coming into play.
When facing danger, in order to better ensure the survival of the species, wild animals strive to minimize harm, even if it means sacrificing themselves.
Bi Fang kept a close watch on the wolf pack, observing the struggle as if witnessing a highly technical, professional hunt.
These animals, guided purely by instinct, had become outstanding tacticians; it was truly awe-inspiring.
"Now there are more wolves, and with only three targets, there's no reason not to attack, and the Desert Wolf is the only predator group that can pose a threat to camels."
"Of course, desert lions as well, but those are in South Africa and there are only about a hundred of them; we won't encounter them."
Camels are virtually perfect creatures with powerful attacks, terrifying speed, and biting power.
Their defense is just as strong with thick fur and tough skin, reminiscent of natural armor; ordinary animal teeth can hardly pierce it, unable to inflict serious harm.
Moreover, camels primarily inhabit desert and gobi areas—environments that are extremely harsh and relatively devoid of water and vegetation, some places even lacking grass.
In such harsh environments, only camels can adapt, and large carnivores rarely venture there due to the lack of a supporting food chain at the lowest level; the desert is hell for them. Hence, it's rare to find carcasses of camels that have been preyed upon in the wild, making Bi Fang all the more interested in lying down to observe.
Moreover, he had no intention of interfering with this natural phenomenon and was even interested in acting as a commentator on the battlefield.
"One interesting point is that African wolves are generally nocturnal, but sometimes they are also active during the day. After all, the Sahara Desert is too barren; for the sake of food, they can't be concerned with their habits, showing a sort of corporate worker's demeanor."
[For the sake of food, it's so realistic.]
[Talking about it brings tears to my eyes.]
[Continuous shifts, rotating doubles, must be overtime madness, right?]
"I volunteer for work (ignore the handcuffs on my hands)."
At this moment, the Desert Wolves were still trying to isolate a young camel. After just over a minute, the largest male camel started to grow restless, suddenly opened its mouth, but instead of trying to bite the Desert Wolves, it violently spewed out a large amount of yellow, viscid substance.
This action came without warning, and one of the Desert Wolves couldn't dodge in time, getting drenched from head to toe in the yellow-white sticky substance.

Luckily, Bi Fang was a hundred meters away at that moment. Had he been a bit closer, perhaps he would have been able to smell that intense, soul-penetrating stench of rot.
Even though he didn't actually smell it, Bi Fang felt as if the stench were filling his nostrils, and he explained, buzzing his nose:
"This is a defense mechanism of camels, by spitting out partially digested food from their stomachs, they emit a strong stench of rot to drive off enemies."
"Oh! (A robust man shakes his head)"
"This is a biological weapon!"
"Although it's somewhat dishonorable, the effect is very good."
The Desert Wolf that got drenched couldn't bear such an intense smell. With their keen sense of smell, the odor went straight to the brain, and the wolf immediately became dizzy. Seizing the opportunity, the camel bit the wolf's head.
By this time, two small drones had already approached the battlefield, and everyone clearly heard the sound of bones breaking. Eventually, the camel twisted its neck snake-like and violently threw the Desert Wolf aside, where it tumbled across the ground kicking up dust and sand, before lying still.
This sudden turnaround seemed to signal that the battle had entered an intensely heated phase.
The Desert Wolves no longer used continuous interweaving intimidation but sporadically coupled their assaults with bites or claw scratches. Several of them leaped, attempting to attack the young camel's hindquarters, but the large camels provided good protection.
"Desert Wolves are very adept at ambush tactics and like to use pack hunting to attack camels. Through fearless attacks, they exhaust the camels' stamina, and they even adopt the hyena's tactic of targeting the anus, attacking the camel's vulnerabilities, rendering it defenseless."
No matter how fierce the camels fought, they could not withstand the wolves' siege. Their stamina was limited, and the pack of wolves was relentless until, finally, the young camel couldn't take it anymore and took advantage of a breach in the defense line to run straight out!
Done for!
Now, without Bi Fang's commentary, the audience knew what was going to happen next.
With the young camel's escape, the pack became thoroughly excited and ran wildly after it. Without the protection of the adult camels, the young one had no idea how to defend itself and was quickly covered in Desert Wolves, followed by its fur becoming stained red.
"Too tender,"
sighed Bi Fang.
Before the adult camels behind him could catch up, the young one had already collapsed, powerless to get back up.
At this point, there was no need for a rescue.
Even after the two adult camels caught up, the wolves simply scattered, not entangling themselves with them further, pacing around the camels.
The young camel was already a meal on the plate, no rush for the moment.
Once the adult camels had accepted reality, the alpha wolf gave the signal, and they attacked again. This time, the two camels did not stand their ground but fled towards the distance, while the pack began to enjoy the hard-earned feast, sending out excited howls of joy.
"All right, it's our turn now,"
said Bi Fang, getting up from the ground and following in the direction the camels had fled.
Speaking of which, it might be devious, but Bi Fang was prepared to launch an attack while the camels were still recovering.
"Wu Hu, ready to scrape up the leftovers"
"To be honest, at first, I thought Old Fang was going to rescue the family of camels, and then in gratitude, they'd willingly submit to the reins."
