Survival Tale on a Deserted Island: I and Airline Stewardess

66.Capture the cat-wolf

I quickly hid in the nearby bushes. After a while, feeling somewhat disappointed, as it was nearing noon and there was no sign of cat-wolves on the beach. Had they gone elsewhere?

Just as disappointment set in, a rustling sound came from the nearby bushes, and several cat-wolves emerged! Seeing the prey finally appear, I hid in the distant bushes, too nervous to make a sound.

Upon careful count, there were a total of four cat-wolves. These creatures were smaller than large carnivores like tigers and lions, but among canines, they were considered medium-sized, with some even approaching the size of large dogs in length and height.

They stood at a height of around 50 to 60 centimeters and a length close to one meter. Watching their clear patterns and soft fur, a wave of excitement surged within me. If I could kill these four big fellows, I could make four pieces of outerwear, solving more than half of our warmth issues.

Although I knew these creatures might be some rare species, scarce in number and perhaps unique to this island, and their fur resembled that of leopards, very beautiful, I had no choice but to hunt them for survival.

These cat-wolves were clearly lured by the two fat and delicious stone perch fish I had placed on the traps. To entice these cat-wolves, I spared no expense. Unlike the small stone perch fish on the traps yesterday, this time, I put the two largest stone perch fish I could find.

Li Lin looked at them and felt a twinge of heartache.

These cat-wolves seemed puzzled by the appearance of the two fish; they sniffed around without immediately pouncing. Watching them linger, my heart raced, afraid that they might leave. Obviously, these creatures hadn't encountered the cunning and deceitful nature of humans before. After sniffing around, the largest one, with a red birthmark on its buttocks, couldn't resist leaping forward.

Hearing a crisp sound, I was overjoyed. This cat-wolf had actually broken the branches covering the pit's entrance and fell down, letting out a mournful howl. Although the pit was nearly three meters deep, and it must have hurt to fall, it shouldn't have howled so loudly. However, having learned from the previous trap, I feared the large creature could still jump out of the three-meter deep pit, so I inserted several pointed bamboo sticks underneath.

I worked diligently all morning, setting up this trap to be extremely treacherous. Seeing this creature caught, I was ecstatic, and all that was left was to wait for the other cat-wolves to leave. However, what alarmed me was that these cat-wolves showed no signs of leaving.
