American Landowners: Starting with Hunting in Alaska

Amidst the snow and withered trees, a splash of white stands out starkly.

That thing is moving.

Suwei paused for a moment.

He had just escaped from the bear's jaws, and was sore all over and exhausted.

But now, his attention was completely drawn to that white mass.

Its ears trembled slightly, its muzzle was long and thin, its body was small and its tail was covered in large hair.

Its entire body is pure white, without any other color. As its body trembles slightly, you can clearly see its fluffy fur standing on end, swaying back and forth with incredible smoothness.

She looks exactly like a snow sprite.

Su Wei was instantly stunned.

It was a fox, a fox he had never seen before, so beautiful.

Yes, beautiful.

He used this word to describe it.

However, when the fox turned its head, a pair of icy blue eyes looked over.

Looking into those ice-blue, crystal-like eyes, Su Wei's head buzzed.

Albino red fox!

Blue-eyed, albino red fox!

The bounty of eight thousand US dollars that the original owner remembered was now vividly presented before his eyes.

The original owner even perished in a blizzard while chasing after him.

Eight thousand US dollars!

That's a whopping eight thousand US dollars!

This number gave Su Wei a boost of morale.

With a minimum payment of $30,000, you can pay off almost half of it right away!

The white fox had clearly spotted him too; a flicker of panic flashed in its icy blue eyes.

It didn't stay in one place any longer. With its limbs exerting force, it moved quickly and darted into the nearby woods.

"Hold!"

Su Wei cursed and, without thinking, took off after him.

The tension and exhaustion from escaping from the bear's jaws not long ago seemed to vanish under the stimulus of the $8,000 reward.

He had only one thought in his mind.

Grab it, we must get this money!

Su Wei ran wildly through the snow, his rifle bouncing behind him with a dull thud.

He stared intently at the white figure in the woods, putting all his strength into every step.

Snowflakes were whipped up by the wind and hit my face with a chilling cold.

The white fox is very fast and knows the terrain very well.

It always manages to find the path where the snow is shallowest, nimbly leaping between trees and rocks.

Suwei couldn't manage; lifting his leg was extremely difficult in the deep snow.

After chasing for less than ten minutes, Su Wei's speed noticeably slowed down.

His previous escape had exhausted him, and now he was only holding on by sheer willpower.

A sharp pain shot through my lungs; every breath was excruciating.

He finally couldn't run anymore, and he gasped for breath, his hands supporting his knees, white steam billowing from his mouth.

The white figure had long since disappeared into the depths of the forest.

Su Wei raised his head, looking in the direction where the white fox had disappeared, and punched the big tree next to him in frustration.

The snow fell softly from the trees, soaking his head and face.

The cold snow calmed him down.

What am I doing?

For a sum of money that hadn't been earned yet, having just escaped the bear's jaws, they were about to venture into the dangerous depths of the mountains again?

That's absolutely stupid!

He actually wanted to capture this fox alive on foot in this forest?!

He laughed at his own foolish behavior.

I feel like a clown who doesn't know what's good for him.

What difference is there between doing this and being buried by a blizzard?

Su Wei cursed his own stupidity in his heart, but thankfully, he realized it quickly.

I was just momentarily blinded by my emotions, but now that I've come to my senses, it's not too late, and I haven't run too far.

Su Wei looked up at the sky.

The sky grew even darker, the clouds hung low, and the wind picked up, howling and whipping up the snow.

It looks like another blizzard is on the way.

Even without a blizzard, Suwei could tell from the inherited memories.

The snow and wind will be quite strong tonight!

Moreover, the original owner of this body died in the previous blizzard.

Am I going to follow in his footsteps?

Just for eight thousand US dollars?

If you lose your life, let alone eight thousand, even eighty million won't help. At that point, all the land and the wooden house will be gone.

Suwei began to tremble due to the cold and lingering fear.

He was too impulsive; he was blinded by the money.

No, we must leave here immediately.

The most important thing now is to go down the mountain and back to that wooden house that can keep out the wind and rain.

Having figured this out, Su Wei no longer hesitated.

He checked the direction and prepared to circle back to his original path down the mountain.

But as he turned around, he caught a glimpse of that white figure out of the corner of his eye.

The blue-eyed white fox has returned.

It stood on a rock about 70 or 80 meters away, watching him, its body tense, ready to run again at any moment.

Those icy blue eyes had an indescribable quality in the darkening forest.

Su Wei was stunned.

What's going on?

provocative?

He stopped and stood facing the white fox from a distance.

Even at this moment, he still couldn't help but marvel at how stunning the little fox was.

A veritable snow sprite.

But he couldn't understand how a wild animal could run away and then come back.

Another inappropriate thought popped into my head.

Is it injured and can't run far?

Or perhaps its nest is nearby?

Su Wei's heart started racing again.

He decided to try again.

This time, he didn't dare to rush forward. Instead, he took light steps, lowered his center of gravity, and moved towards the fox little by little.

He tried to make no sound as he took each step forward.

As a result, he moved forward five meters, and the fox jumped off the rock and also retreated five meters.

Not too much, not too little, just right.

It maintained a safe distance from him throughout.

Suwei stopped.

The white fox stopped, even tilting its head, and continued to look at him with its icy blue eyes.

Su Wei frowned.

This thing... has it become sentient?

He didn't believe in superstitions and tried to get closer.

The result was exactly the same as before.

He takes a step forward, and it takes a step back.

When it stops, it stops too.

This wasn't hunting; we were completely outsmarted.

Back and forth like this, Suwei not only failed to close the distance, but was instead led by it to walk dozens of meters deeper into the forest.

He gave up completely.

Su Wei straightened up and leaned against the tree, feeling like a fool.

They were completely outmaneuvered by a fox, wasting their precious energy and time.

He looked at the fox in the distance, which was calmly licking the fur on its paws, as if it didn't care about him at all.

Suwei looked at it and was both amused and exasperated.

What a cute little gadget!

He glanced at the sky again; the clouds were lower, and the wind was carrying ice crystals that stung his face.

We can't delay any longer.

We must get down the mountain before dark, or it will be dangerous.

"Alright, you win."

Su Wei spoke self-deprecatingly in the direction of the white fox.

"You're lucky you survived. Hurry up and get out of here, so you don't run into me or any other hunters. Best of all, stay far away."

His voice wasn't loud and quickly dissipated in the wind.

After saying that, he ignored the fox and strode down the mountain.

The temptation of eight thousand US dollars is ultimately no match for one's own life.

He has to live.

Only by living can one have the opportunity to earn money and protect the land that belongs to them.

Su Wei's figure quickly disappeared into the woods, leaving only a trail of footprints of varying depths.

Long after he left.

The blue-eyed white fox peeked its head out from behind the tree, its icy blue eyes fixed on the direction where Suwei had disappeared.

It sniffed the air.

It paced around anxiously for a couple of seconds, occasionally glancing up at the direction Suwei had left in.

Finally, it seemed to have made a decision.

It took steps, but not as fast as before, and carefully followed the footprints left by Suwei.

Not too far, not too close.

I slowly followed.
