After coming out of the cave, Song Yun looked around and didn't see anything unusual. However, Huibao in her arms was still whimpering, so she had no choice but to put Huibao down.
As soon as Huibao landed, he spread his short legs and ran towards the narrow path on the right side of the cave. Song Yun was frightened and shouted, "Slow down, run slower."
The narrow path is only a few meters wide, with only some sparse rock plants growing on the edge. Outside the edge is a cliff and abyss. If you are not careful, you will end up in pieces.
Fortunately, although Huibao did not slow down, it ran steadily and did not lean towards the edge, but ran forward close to the stone wall.
It has to be said that animals' survival instincts are much stronger than humans'.
If this were a child who had just learned to walk, he would have no idea what was safe and what was dangerous.
Seeing that Huibao seemed to be running very familiar with the route, it must have been here before.
After more than ten meters, the narrow path became narrower and narrower. The original three-meter-wide narrow path shrank to only one meter wide. Song Yun quickly took two steps to pick up Huibao. No matter how smart Huibao was, he was just a newborn baby.
After walking another dozen meters, a slope appeared in front of her. It was very similar to the slope she had come down from the cliff before, but it was narrower.
Song Yun took a closer look and felt that the slope did not seem to be a natural formation. It looked a bit like the work of humans, but over the years, many traces had disappeared and it was covered by weeds, making it look very similar to a natural formation.
There was no other way, so Song Yun could only hold Huibao and go up the slope. When she crawled out of the vines covering the slope, the scene in front of her made her scalp tingle.
An open space was littered with bones.
A closer look revealed that they were all the corpses of various wild animals in the mountains, spreading all the way into the poisonous miasma forest. Judging from the posture of some of the bones, they must have escaped from the miasma forest by chance, but fell to the ground in this open space due to the miasma attack, and finally died slowly.
Song Yun keenly caught a faint gasp.
She put Huibao down. Huibao's small body moved flexibly between the animal bones and brought Song Yun to the exit of the poisonous forest. A female wolf covered with gray-brown hair fell to the ground, her eyes half closed, her limbs twitching from time to time, and she was breathing less and exhaling more.
The mother wolf had a very big belly and a pool of water under her body. It seemed that her amniotic fluid had broken and she no longer had the strength to give birth.
Song Yun was certain that the female wolf would not survive. It was too late. She had managed to hold on until now and was still alive. She must have wanted to give birth to the cubs in her belly. This was a mother's nature.
Unfortunately, its body has been paralyzed by the miasma and it is unable to give birth normally.
The she-wolf didn't even have the strength to raise her head, but she stared at Song Yun with her eyes.
Huibao jumped up and down anxiously, biting Song Yun's trouser leg and pulling her towards the female wolf.
Song Yun squatted down and touched Huibao's head. "I know you want me to save it, but it's too late. It's dying."
Just as Song Yun finished saying this, the wolf's eyes slowly closed, her limbs stopped twitching, and her breathing stopped.
Song Yun looked at the mother wolf's belly. The cubs in her belly seemed to sense their mother's death, or perhaps sensed a life-threatening crisis. They were struggling violently, causing their belly to bulge.
Song Yun sighed, there was really no way she could just turn around and leave.
She took out a dagger, cut open the mother wolf's belly, and took out the wolf cub trapped in her belly.
It was a little wolf cub with fur color very similar to that of the mother wolf. Its eyes were not open yet and its body was sticky.
Fortunately, Song Yun had enough things stored in her storage compartment. She took out a basin, got some accumulated rainwater from the stone pit next to it, and used a towel to wipe the wolf cub clean. After she was done, she wrapped the wolf cub in the towel, held the wolf cub in one hand and Huibao in the other, and returned the same way.
When they got into the cave, Wei Changqing and the others had covered the vomit with mud and sand, and the smell had dissipated a little, but it was still unpleasant because there was no ventilation after all.
