231 Back to the Jungle

◎Where did this cub get all these smells that repel and disgust animals?◎

Ye Zhizhi suddenly turned around, ran towards the cave entrance with all his strength, and rushed away.

Behind her, almost at the same time, the giant beast came chasing after her.

Ye Zhizhi ran forward quickly, she rushed into the dense jungle and went around into the complex terrain.

However, despite its huge size, the beast was not slow at all as it rushed through the jungle.

Ye Zhizhi didn't dare to stop at all, and the giant beast didn't know whether it was because Ye Zhizhi occupied its nest or because it didn't want to miss the snack that was delivered to its door, so it kept chasing him.

Ye Zhizhi ran for a long time, and the giant beast followed closely behind her. It seemed that it really didn't intend to let her go.

The sky was clear at this time and daybreak was about to begin. Ye Zhizhi could already clearly see the huge monster behind him.

This was a giant beast as big as an adult elephant, with thick black hair all over its body, a sturdy but agile body, a short and thick mouth on its head, but with four long, sharp fangs exposed on the upper and lower parts. Ye Zhizhi looked back a few times but couldn't recognize what kind of animal it was.

She prides herself on being knowledgeable and experienced, as new species always appear in the jungle, refreshing her knowledge.

Since he couldn't escape, Ye Zhizhi decided not to run any further.

She wandered around the jungle, observing the surrounding terrain, and finally chose the place that was most advantageous for her. Then she climbed up the huge ancient tree, threw her backpack aside, and when she turned around, she was holding a shiny and restrained dagger in her hand.

This was a weapon she had custom-made at great expense, and it was said to be as powerful as cutting through iron. If nothing else, it was at least much better than any weapon she had picked up before.

Ye Zhizhi jumped up and down on the branches flexibly. This giant beast could not climb trees, but its huge body could still shake the branches and leaves of the ancient tree when it crashed into it.

This ancient tree is also very thick, with thick roots winding around the trunk. No matter how hard the giant beast hits it, it cannot knock the tree down.

Ye Zhizhi turned around, avoiding the face-to-face conflict and chose to attack from behind.

This area is full of tree roots, the ground is rocky, and there are many deep gullies, which is a great disadvantage for the giant beast. Ye Zhizhi used the terrain to greatly restrict its movements.

Ye Zhizhi was not unable to defeat this giant beast.

The fact that she was able to defeat Wolf Dad and become the new Wolf King proved her strength. If they really fought, Ye Zhizhi would not lose, but she would definitely pay a price.

But Ye Zhizhi had no intention of killing the giant beast. After all, he was the one who occupied its nest first. Besides, rare animals that were rarely seen were protected animals.

Ye Zhizhi now just wants it to give up and stop chasing her.

She kicked the beast's thick hind legs hard, almost spraining its ankle. When the beast turned around, Ye Zhizhi had already gone in another direction.

Ye Zhizhi's idea was to kick the giant beast's limbs so that they would take at least ten days or half a month to heal. That way, it would not be able to catch up with him and would give up.

It was just a foot injury, not very serious, and would not pose any threat to the giant beast.

Ye Zhizhi was very strong, and his powerful kick did make the giant beast feel pain, but it also made it more violent, and it chased Ye Zhizhi and beat him up.

“Ahhh!!!!”

“Aho-ho—”

The beast's raspy roar shook the air, and she responded with a majestic wolf howl: "Awoo—"

The beast grew even angrier.

Ye Zhizhi deliberately led the giant beast into those deep ditches. When its limbs accidentally stepped on something, luckily it couldn't be pulled out immediately, which gave Ye Zhizhi more time.

She finally found an opportunity and kicked twice more.

But the beast seemed to know what she was going to do and soon became more cautious and no longer took the bait.

Ye Zhizhi never found another opportunity and was soon chased up a tree.

She squatted on a tree branch, staring down at the giant beast circling around the ancient tree and bumping into it from time to time. She looked at the dagger in her hand. Was it really going to fight for real?

Ye Zhizhi looked around again. The sun was already high in the branches, and the refracted light flickered as the branches and leaves shook.

This time she set her sights on the dense vines not far away.

So she ran and jumped directly from the branches, and the giant beast chased her closely on the ground, running left and right, and rushed directly into the vine wall. As it ran, more and more vines appeared on its body, and slowly turned into a cocoon. Its movements were restricted, and finally it was trapped in place and unable to move.

“Ahhh!!!!”

Ye Zhizhi finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the giant beast shaking its huge body in an attempt to shake off the vines wrapped around it. However, he couldn't completely relax yet, as it wouldn't be long before it could escape from the predicament.

She had to leave quickly, the time difference was enough for her to get rid of the beast.

Ye Zhizhi quickly went back to retrieve her backpack. Just as she was about to leave, a gust of wind blew over. She caught the scent of the wind and suddenly stopped.

She suddenly turned around and saw a giant silver wolf walking out from behind the rock, and her eyes immediately turned red.

Behind the silver giant wolf, a gray giant wolf jumped out from above the rock and landed lightly and silently beside the silver wolf.

The gray wolf glanced at her with its yellow-brown eyes, then turned its head to look at the silver wolf, as if to say, there is indeed a cub here.

They were traveling nearby, and the wolf father keenly caught the familiar wolf howl. The silver wolf was not as keen as the wolf father, and was just not within the distance that it could catch, but still ran over.

This area was actually quite far away, on the other side of the mountainside. They had been running here at full speed for a long time.

And because Ye Zhizhi only howled once, Wolf Dad found the right position based on his years of experience.

Although Ye Zhizhi was being chased almost all day long, the general direction she was running in was not wrong. Her speed of escaping day and night actually allowed her to cross the mountains faster. At this speed, if nothing unexpected happened, she would be able to get down the mountain in a day or two.

Because of Ye Zhizhi's wolf howl, she met the wolf in advance.

Ye Zhizhi didn't blink as she watched the silver wolf approaching her. After confirming that it was not an illusion, she pounced on it with a howl.

Wolf Mom! It’s Wolf Mom!!!

Ye Zhizhi rushed over, hugged Wolf Mom's head and cried, "Wolf Mom, I miss you so much!"

Ye Zhizhi didn't expect that she would see the wolf she missed most so suddenly.

It was obvious that when she went out with Yin Yi and the others to find a way out, she didn't stay with Wolf Mom often. Instead, she spent more time with Yin Yi and the others. However, no one could compare to her dependence on Wolf Mom.

When she came back from going out for a walk, she felt that time had passed so slowly. She had been apart for longer periods of time before, but never had she felt as if it were a lifetime ago as it did now.

When the silver wolf saw the cub it cared about the most, its eyes became gentle and it seemed to have grown up.

It licked it subconsciously, but just after one lick, the complex smell of Ye Zhizhi pierced its face and twisted it. Even its strong maternal love could not hide its disgust.

Where did this cub get so many smells that repel and disgust animals?

The popularity that Ye Zhizhi had gained in human society was gradually covered up by the jungle and her own scent during her stay in the jungle these days. Otherwise, she would not have been able to easily avoid the nose of the giant beast when she was in the cave.

But when the silver wolf got so close and took a lick, it could sense the human scent that had not completely dissipated.

The silver wolf heard the cub's howling and a look of helplessness flashed in its eyes. Forget it, I can still have it if I lick it.

Ye Zhizhi had no idea that she was almost rejected. She hugged Silver Wolf tightly and was about to express her longing for him when a roar interrupted her emotional expression.

The giant beast entangled in vines broke free and ran over roaring.

However, when it limped out, it saw two giant wolves with powerful auras. Its angry expression froze and its huge body stiffened.

The wolf father narrowed his eyes, lowered his front legs slightly, and made an attacking posture.

Before Ye Zhizhi could complain, the giant beast suddenly turned its head and ran away in a gust of wind, knowing when to act.

Ye Zhizhi blinked. Why did he feel looked down upon?

She couldn't help but puff up her cheeks, and the excitement that made her want to howl at the sight of Wolf Mother subsided.

This beast was incredibly savvy. A one-on-one fight was a close call, but a three-on-one fight was a sure win. She even wanted to complain about being chased all night, even though she had the wolf's backing! And she ran so fast!

“Ahhh——”

The silver wolf rubbed his head against her and lowered his body slightly. Ye Zhizhi immediately swallowed the words he wanted to say to act coquettishly and quickly climbed up.

The two wolves, one silver and one gray, ran quickly, their figures as fast as a shuttle, and soon disappeared into the jungle.

Ye Zhizhi lowered her body and hugged the silver wolf tightly like she did when she was a child. She took a deep breath, and the wolf mother's soft and smooth hair was almost sucked into her nose, making her nose itchy and she couldn't help sneezing.

But she had a bright smile on her face. Ahhhh, it really is Wolf Mom! Ye Zhizhi was so happy. She finally saw Wolf Mom! She kept rubbing against her.

When the excitement in her heart subsided a little, she turned her head to look at the wolf father who was following closely behind her.

Yeah, I miss Wolf Dad too.

Two wolves, carrying a large cub, ran down without stopping. Even wolves were very afraid of this mountain range. If the wolf father had not heard Ye Zhizhi's voice, they would never have run so deep.

What a coincidence, they were just passing by this area and we met them unexpectedly.

The Wolf King and Silver Wolf are no longer young. They no longer have to manage the wolf pack. In human terms, they have "retired" and want to go out for a walk before their physical strength declines too much.

Their health is already declining, and in a few years, they may not have this opportunity anymore.

This was an old couple who had dedicated most of their lives to the tribe and were finally able to live a comfortable life in the world of two wolves. Who would have thought that a cub would appear halfway.

The wolf father doesn't want to know whether the cubs and their mother are happy or not, but he knows that he is very unhappy.

As long as this cub is around, he will definitely occupy his wife.

Just like now——

They found a safe place to rest in the crevice of the rocks, and the silver wolf lying on the ground was grabbed. They wrapped their limbs tightly around the silver wolf, howling and acting coquettishly.

The wolf father stood aside, narrowing his eyes and looking very unhappy.

She's almost an adult and already the wolf king, but she's still so clingy to wolves. In all of its decades of wolf life, it's never seen a cub so clingy to a wolf. Could this be her racial characteristic?

The wolf father walked over and lay down beside the silver wolf. Just as he was about to get close to it, a smelly foot wrapped in snake skin stretched out and kicked it.

Wolf Dad: “…”

Ye Zhizhi squinted her eyes comfortably. Although she had grown up now, she was still a cub in front of the wolf mother. Now she felt very comfortable being licked on the face and head by the wolf mother to comfort her.

Her hands and feet clung to the silver wolf, surrounded by the strong scent of the female wolf, feeling full of security.

The feeling on her feet was not right. Ye Zhizhi moved her feet and turned her head to see that her feet were stretched out and resting on Wolf Dad.

She grinned at Father Wolf and tucked her feet into his fur.

Wolf Dad: “…”

It silently rolled up its thick and long tail and placed it on Ye Zhizhi's calf, its eyes looking deeply into the distance.
