Open the shelter’s door.

Chen Wen saw the mother coyote, along with the two little coyotes following beside her.

"This is..."

Chen Wen was startled, thinking the two little coyotes might be sick and that’s why they came.

But seeing the energetic state of the two little ones, he dismissed this thought.

The mother coyote emitted soft cries, anxiously poking its head out, surveying the situation inside the shelter.

"Well, it brought the two brothers to visit?"

Chen Wen shook his head and stepped aside to let them into the shelter.

Once the mother coyote entered, Chen Wen picked up the two little coyotes who wanted to follow her inside.

"Hmm, not two brothers, but a brother and a sister."

Chen Wen muttered as he placed the two little coyotes on the floor of the shelter.

The two little coyotes immediately jumped and followed their mother to see their little brother.

The sick little coyote’s condition was much better now.

At least it had the strength and spirit to move.

Seeing this scene, a glimmer of surprise flashed in the mother coyote’s eyes; she first checked the little coyote’s condition.

After confirming it had really improved a lot, the mother coyote gratefully looked at Chen Wen.

It emitted a series of sounds, as if thanking him.

And the red fox on the side provided confirmation: "It’s thanking you, Chen Wen."

Chen Wen nodded, gladly accepting the gratitude.

But the surprises were not over yet.

After the gratitude, a system voice echoed in Chen Wen’s mind again.

Extractable again!

The previous entry from the little coyote was an extra chance from the Animal Doctor; this time it’s a mother coyote taming extraction.

He checked the system briefly.

Perhaps due to insufficient luck balance, the entry from this mother coyote...

Was quite average.

Among the three entries, only one was usable.

[Wide Recipe (Blue): Your appetite is better, more foods are on your menu, you can now choose more foods to include in your diet]

[Note: Being able to eat more things means you won’t go hungry!—Coyote]

This entry would be good for other carnivorous animals.

But for a human like Chen Wen...

Frankly speaking, Chen Wen feels humans have the widest diet in nature.

Animal-wise, those that fly in the sky, walk on the ground, swim in the water are all delicacies on the human menu.

Plant-wise, eat if edible, make medicine first if not, find ways to remove toxins if poisonous, eat small doses if toxins can’t be removed...

If humans had a similar entry, it would definitely be golden!

Therefore, Chen Wen reluctantly added this entry to his collection.

Better than nothing.

...

After Chen Wen selected the entry, the coyote family finally became part of his community.

Although they couldn’t communicate directly with Chen Wen, through the translations of the red fox and old wolf, he could understand a lot of coyote’s meanings.

Moreover, the coyote was inherently intelligent, able to use body language to convey simple meanings to Chen Wen.

Considered a form of communication.

However, while playing with the coyotes, Chen Wen suddenly thought of something.

This female coyote seems to have very few pups, and no male coyote is raising the pups with her.

Bear in mind, coyotes are creatures that raise pups together as male and female.

The absence of a male coyote was quite unexpected for Chen Wen.

Additionally, a coyote could normally give birth to an average of six pups each time.

This coyote only had three, indeed fewer in number.

Regardless, this coyote group is now under Chen Wen’s protection.

Considering the sudden extreme cold weather outside and the three little coyotes that haven’t learned hunting skills yet.

Chen Wen plans to let the little coyotes stay inside the shelter, where it’s warmer.

Therefore, he summoned the red fox and began to persuade.

Under Chen Wen’s persuasion and red fox’s translation.

The mother coyote understood Chen Wen’s intent and agreeably consented.

Its keen sense of smell already detected an abundance of meat scent within this strange building.

Moreover, it was indeed warmer here.

After a round of difficult communication, the pups stayed together with Chen Wen.

By afternoon, after the wind and snow reduced.

The red fox shouted about wanting to go out hunting.

According to it, now is the best time for hunting rabbits!

The rabbits stuck in burrows for so long are urgently seeking food, making them more likely to be caught when venturing outside.

Therefore, the red fox plan to hunt with the old wolf.

The newly joined coyote, after some hesitation, left the pups with Chen Wen and joined the red fox.

Coyotes are extremely adaptable, known for cooperating and even symbiotically living with other animals.

Many coyotes cohabit with badgers, living in burrows then leaving some food for the badgers. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Chen Wen didn’t stop them.

With the coyote joining, his food pressure was slightly increased.

Having the coyote follow to hunt could also alleviate some of the food pressure.

At this thought, Chen Wen glanced at the intermittently hibernating wolf mink, shaking his head slightly.

After temperatures dropped, the wolf mink’s intermittent hibernation worsened.

Each day at least several hours are spent just lying by the fireplace doing nothing but sleeping.

Though at least when it sleeps, its food digestion slows down.

Also saving some food.

In the afternoon, Chen Wen didn’t go out.

On one hand, he needed to care for the little coyotes; on the other, he simply preferred not to go out into the cold weather, ideal for resting by the shelter.

Therefore, he began guiding the little coyotes on using designated places for relieving themselves.

Currently, the special animals understand the importance of camp hygiene.

But this group of little coyotes needs training from the beginning.

Chen Wen refused to be awakened mid-sleep by the stench of these little ones’ droppings.

Though in comparison to Chen Wen, who doesn’t need to work, the other characters still needed to keep busy.

Over on the program side.

Roland braved the cold wind and light snow, heading out of the shelter after the heavy snow.

He held a bow and arrow in his hand, with determination in his eyes.

"The snow lasted a long time, affecting many animals’ feeding behavior, likely halting it. After the snow reduces, their feeding resumes, making this a good hunting opportunity!"

Roland assessed the situation like a beast.

To be precise, he was now thinking with a beast’s mentality.

Thus, Roland packed his tools, bringing along the bow and arrow.

"I plan to go out to test my luck, the months of surviving on berries were bearable and could last until the end. But I’m here to prove that humans will conquer nature; just eating berries won’t suffice!"

Roland smirked, presenting a powerful smile to the camera.
