Webnovel Author In The Apocalypse World-Chapter 344 : Sausage Dogs of Spring

Kim Haru thought for a moment and added, "I remember you still have that pillow made of your fur. How about I make clothes for you out of it?"

The moment he said this, Kim Haru heard rustling from one of the holes.

His gaze immediately locked onto the hole with movement.

He leaned closer to the other holes and trying to detect any additional noise, but there was nothing from them—just silence.

"Snowball No. 1?" Kim Haru called again.

"Woof~"

A faint bark came from the hole.

But aside from the soft bark, nothing resembling a Cryo Wolf emerged.

Not even a vaguely husky-like creature.

Kim Haru turned to the Ginseng Spirit. "What did they say?"

The Ginseng Spirit replied, "They said they're too ashamed to come out."

Kim Haru's curiosity about the Cryo Wolfs' current state grew even stronger.

However, he also understood that the Cryo Wolfs weren't unwilling to return to the small farm; they were just feeling shy.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have stayed so close to the farm or answered his calls.

So, Kim Haru gestured to the Ginseng Spirit, signaling for it to drag the Cryo Wolfs out.

Kim Haru believed that while the Ginseng Spirit might not have been able to handle the Cryo Wolfs in their massive winter forms, these smaller Cryo Wolf should be manageable.

Besides, he wasn't asking the Ginseng Spirit to fight them.

Its roots could easily serve as ropes to tie up the Cryo Wolfs and pull them out—simple and effective.

The Ginseng Spirit's eyes lit up.

Grasping Kim Haru's intent, it was thrilled.

It still held a grudge against the Cryo Wolf for digging up its white radishes during the winter.

Until now, it hadn't had a chance to get revenge, as the Cryo Wolfs' sheer size and numbers had made them untouchable.

But now?

Hehehehe.

The Ginseng Spirit laughed gleefully and quickly burrowed itself into the hole, eager to act before the Cryo Wolf could even react.

As the Ginseng Spirit squeezed into the cave, it wasn't long before a series of yips and barks echoed out.

The Cryo Wolf were soon dragged out by the Ginseng Spirit with minimal effort.

When Kim Haru saw them, despite mentally preparing himself for the sight, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He had considered the possibility that the Cryo Wolf who lose their fur would looked like an hairless dog, or that they might shrinking down into something like teacup puppies.

He had even imagined a scenario where they were both turn into hairless little puppies.

Kim Haru had promised to himself that no matter how unappealing the Cryo Wolf would looked like, he would not rejected or belittle them.

He vowed to treat them with dignity.

Now, seeing the Cryo Wolf before him, they were indeed becoming more smaller and hairless, but they were far from ugly.

Instead, they were irresistibly adorable.

As for what made Kim Haru laugh…

He couldn't help it—how could anyone not chuckle when the Cryo Wolf now looked like a little round sausages with eyes and mouths?

They were plump and wiggly, the kind of sight that would make anyone grin.

Tied together in a row by the Ginseng Spirit's roots, the sausage-like dogs immediately let out pitiful barks when they saw Kim Haru laughing.

Even without needing the Ginseng Spirit to translate, Kim Haru could guess what these little fellows were trying to say.

He quickly explained, "I'm laughing because you're so adorable. Really! I'm not saying you're ugly at all."

"Woof~"

Really?

The Cryo Wolf looked skeptical.

Kim Haru nodded his head sincerely. "Of course! When have I ever lied to you? Come on, let's go home. It's the start of spring, and we're having hot pot tonight. You'll get some too."

Hot pot!

The Cryo Wolf's eyes were lit up instantly.

They started squirming and howling and trying to get the Ginseng Spirit to release them.

They imagined they could roll away like snowballs, but the moment they hit the ground, they tripped over a blade of grass and tumbled like glass marbles.

Kim Haru hurriedly scooped them up and stuffed them into his coat pocket.

All eleven of them were so tiny that they fit snugly into one pocket.

The Ginseng Spirit also picked itself up and slid into another pocket.

Meanwhile, Fuzzball didn't need any instructions at all.

Familiar with the routine, it hopped onto Kim Haru's shoulder.

Its gleaming eyes were fixed on the pocket containing the sausage-like dogs, clearly intrigued by the little creatures.

Kim Haru grew nervous, worried that Fuzzball might take a swipe at the shrunken Cryo Wolf.

He knew how cats loved round, wriggly things, and Fuzzball was no exception.

If the Cryo Wolf couldn't win against Fuzzball in their normal size, they definitely stood no chance now.

As they walked back to the farm, Kim Haru lectured Fuzzball, "Everyone here is family, so you better not bully them. If I catch you or if anyone make a complain about you, I will took away your dried fish treats."

"Meow~"

I won't bully them. I just want to take a look, okay?

Fuzzball replied innocently.

Although Fuzzball agreed, the sly glint in its eyes suggested otherwise.

When Kim Haru finally returned to the farm with his menagerie, Go Okrim and Kang Hose came out to greet him.

"Mr. Kim, we haven't seen the Cryo Wolf since this morning. We thought they might have wandered off to play, but it's been so long, and we were worried something happened to them."

"Hyung, should we go into the woods to look for them?" Go Okrim asked anxiously. "Or maybe cook a pot of meat to lure them back with the smell?"

Kim Haru chuckled. "No need. I just went out to look for them and already found them."

"Huh?" Go Okrim and Kang Hose froze in surprise.

"You found them? Where are they? We don't see them," Go Okrim said, puzzled.

Go Okrim having grown up in the secluded Gokmul County, wasn't very familiar with the peculiarities of Cryo Wolf.
