But the next second, moonlight shone into the dense forest, and several pairs of green eyes instantly frightened Lu Wuyai so much that he stood frozen in place.
"It's a wolf." He immediately wanted to put down the antelope he was holding and run back the way he came with the little black dog.
Woof woof
"Don't shout."
Hearing the dog bark, Yang Jian really wanted to seal its mouth shut.
The wolves were just passing by, but attracted by the barking of the dogs, they suddenly stopped.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5".
There were five wolves in total. They emerged from the darkness, their terrifying aura filled with a chilling wind.
Lu Wuyai stepped back. As a result, wolves leaped out of the forest. Two wolves rushed over and cut off Lu Wuyai's escape route.
"Excuse me." Lu Wuyai cursed, but he kept moving his hands, directly stopping the dumbfounded antelope in front of him.
As for the three little black dogs, they didn't seem afraid of the wolves at all. When facing them, they stretched out their limbs, lowered their bodies, and even struck a pose that suggested they were afraid of the wolves.
"There's definitely something wrong with your head." Seeing this, Lu Wuyai felt exhausted and secretly wondered why he had agreed to let Song Xiaoyou bring them out in the first place.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai remembered the pistol, touched his waist, and breathed a sigh of relief.
But there were only three bullets in the gun. Even if he was lucky and those three bullets took down three wolves, he wasn't 100% confident he could defeat the remaining two.
If that's the case, then we're in trouble.
Lu Wuyai took a breath, feeling uneasy. Although he had fought wild beasts alone several times before, he couldn't rely on luck every time.
“I’m talking to Xiao Hei.” Lu Wuyai knelt down, patted the heads of the three dogs beside him, and couldn’t help but sigh.
If you don't die this time, I'll stew you and dog meat together.
Lu Wuyai was seething with hatred. If those three stupid dogs hadn't barked twice, these wolves wouldn't have come over.
Lu Wuyai, holding the fire axe, stood up once more. Wolves appeared in all five directions, baring their fangs and claws, displaying a ferocious aura.
"They're a pack of hungry wolves," Lu Wuyai remarked.
As autumn progressed, food became increasingly scarce on the deserted island, naturally reducing the number of wild animals the wolves could hunt.
When the hungry wolf comes down the mountain, nothing can stop it.
"What a damn dog," Lu Wuyai cursed again.
But I was also surprised. It was obvious that the other party was a wolf, but these three little black dogs were not afraid at all and still stood in front. The black dogs looked at the wolf, their purple fur on their backs fluttering in the wind, making them look exceptionally handsome.
Lu Wuyai muttered, "It looks pretty good."
"it hurts."
But the wolves kept howling, and several wolves launched an attack almost simultaneously.
Lu Wuyai had no time to stop him, so he could only draw his gun and decisively pull the trigger at the wolf closest to him.
With a bang.
A loud gunshot rang out, and the wolf fell instantly to the ground in a pool of blood. The death of its own kind did not frighten its predator; instead, it successfully ignited the ferocity of the other wolves.
Almost simultaneously, two wolves bit three small black dogs at his feet. Their pitiful cries made Lu Wuyai feel as if someone had violently ripped at his heart.
In the hazy darkness of the night, Lu Wuyai had plenty of time to take care of himself. Two wild wolves were watching him intently, poised to attack from both sides, threatening to kill him at any moment.
"bring it on."
Lu Wuyai roared. Because he was wearing clothes stained with ant corpses, he didn't feel cold for the time being, but his fear of wild wolves always made him hesitant in his actions.
Over there, the little black dog's pitiful howls never stopped. The only fortunate thing was that none of the three little black dogs died.
Lu Wuyai lifted the antelope on the ground, using his opponent's body as a shield to protect his own front.
But no one expected that the antelope, which had only been knocked unconscious, would wake up on its own as time went by.
Yang Jian was completely dumbfounded as he watched the antelope run away alone.
"Ms. Gan Lin."
Lu Wuyai stared wide-eyed as the antelope leaped away from his grasp.
He came out of the cave solely to get food. Now, not only is there no food, but he also has to face two hungry wolves alone.
For a moment, Lu Wuyai really wanted to burst into tears.
"It's too tragic for me."
Even as Lu Wuyai was at his wits' end, he remained wary of the two wolves. The axe in his hand gleamed coldly in the darkness, radiating a chilling aura.
“I can fight tigers, why would I be afraid of you?” As he spoke, Lu Wuyai took off the sheepskin he was wearing. In the cold wind, he was only wearing a reddish-brown short-sleeved shirt, but he wasn’t cold at all.
*Sob*
From the darkness opposite, the little black dog's pitiful cries rose and fell, but from the sounds, Lu Wuyai knew that the three sheepdogs were not dead yet, and they were also fighting against an opponent far stronger than themselves.
If dogs are like this, how much more so are people?
At that moment, Lu Wuyai felt a surge of courage within him. He knew that only by becoming more ruthless in the face of those who had harmed him could he survive.
Lu Wuyai had no other thoughts. He hid the gun and pulled out a saw made of wolf fangs from his ankle.
Perhaps sensing the saw's presence, the two wolves bared their teeth, revealing their ferocious nature once again.
Lu Wuyai waited no longer and charged straight at the nearest wolf. He moved the axe blade from low to high, attempting to strike the wolf with a single blow.
In fact, the wolves were faster. When Lu Wuyai attacked, the two wolves were like two retractable springs, constantly compressing and springing back. Coupled with the darkness, by the time Lu Wuyai realized the enemy was right in front of him, it was already too late.
The three figures collided violently. Lu Wuyai was the first to be hit. He immediately felt two wolf heads slam into his chest and abdomen.
"Hissing sound."
Lu Wuyai was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe, but after a moment of reflex, he quickly reacted.
He protected all the organs of his body first. Even though his wrists were cut by wolf claws and the wounds hurt from the cold wind, he did not let go at all.
He stood up, picked up an axe, and began chopping around.
In the darkness, he felt as if he had bumped into something, because the axe blade was clearly blocked.
There were no screams, and Lu Wuyai wasn't sure if he had run into a wolf.
But at that moment, he saw a clear torch appear in the direction of the cave, and the tension in his heart immediately eased.
Clearly, the earlier gunshots made the people inside the cave realize that something was wrong.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai kept swinging his axe and moving his feet, trying to expose himself as much as possible to the moonlight. This way, he could see the surrounding scenery and judge where the wolves would attack him.
The fire is still far away and won't come anytime soon.
In the dim light, Lu Wuyai saw that there was indeed a trace of blood on the axe blade, with some hair stuck to it, probably wolf fur.
"A blind cat stumbles upon a dead mouse."
Lu Wuyai was not happy. He knew that this wounded wolf was more dangerous than ever before.
In the dark forest, the black dog howled intermittently. Under the relentless attack of the two wolves, Lu Wuyai could clearly imagine the black dog's ultimate fate.
After living together for several months, Yang Jianji really didn't want to see their corpses again.
Ying Ying Ying.
The dog's barking grew weaker and weaker, and Lu Wuyai's heart sank.
In the darkness, a wolf suddenly ran out and bit Lu Wuyai's ankle.
In the emergency, Lu Wuyai suddenly turned around. As a result, he was moving too fast and fell to the ground. The wolf also slipped and scratched itself on the ground because there was too much gravel.
Seeing this, Lu Wuyai hurriedly propped himself up with his left hand, swung his axe with his right hand, and slashed fiercely at the wolf's belly.
A dull thud rang out, and Lu Wuyai watched helplessly as the axe cleaved into the wolf's belly, splattering blood all over his face.
One died.
The howling of the wolves gradually subsided. Lu Wuyai had just gotten up from the ground when another wolf pounced on him and knocked him to the ground.
Seeing that bloody mouth so close, Lu Wuyai used all his strength to try to block it. He held an axe on his wrist, but the blade was pointing in the opposite direction, directly at his cheek.
Lu Wuyai held his breath, gathered his strength, and then successfully widened the distance between himself and the wolf, but that was all.
Feeling the powerful claws of four wolves, Yang Jian, wearing only a short-sleeved shirt, was quickly covered in wounds. The friction of the claws left bloodstains on his skin. When the wind blew, it felt like a knife rubbing against the surface of his wounds.
Although this wolf was very powerful, it was clearly still a bit weaker than the tiger cub that Lu Wuyai had encountered before.
The next moment, a power and decisiveness seemed to emerge from nowhere. Lu Wuyai suddenly raised his axe with one hand, and the blade touched his throat.
Lu Wuyai held his breath, grabbed the wolf's hand with his right hand, and pushed it onto the wolf's head.
call
Like a nail falling into tofu, the wolf's life force vanished in that instant.
Lu Wuyai threw the axe aside, panting heavily. Navigating the line between life and death truly requires immense wisdom and courage.
After this battle, Lu Wuyai felt he had gained a new understanding of life.
In the darkness, he found everything around him had become quiet. He was grateful to have survived. At that moment, his heart sank, and he thought of the three little black dogs.
"But we must not let anything happen, otherwise Su Xi and the others will be devastated."
Lu Wuyai picked up the axe from the ground again. At this moment, the fire was drawing closer; it was Tang Xin and Song Xiaoyou. Not far away were two torches, presumably belonging to Anna and the others.
“You killed them all.”
The flames roared and swayed in the strong wind. The two wolf carcasses on the ground had begun to harden, but the bloodstains on the ground and the wounds on Lu Wuyai's body were still shocking.
Lu Wuyai nodded, then lifted his leg and walked forward.
Tang Xin and the others followed closely behind, and then they suddenly realized that the three puppies were not with Lu Wuyai.
In a thicket not far from where Lu Wuyai killed the wolf, bloodstains continued to appear on the ground, indicating a very fierce battle.
Lu Wuyai was extremely anxious. He used an axe to split open the bushes and saw three black dogs lying head to tail in the soft grass, surrounded by blood.
"Are they all dead?" Lu Wuyai swallowed hard, took a deep breath, and suddenly saw three small black dogs moving. He quickly fell silent again.
Seeing this, Song Xiaoyou quickly went over and patted the little black dog's neck, her expression not good.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai saw a wolf limping under a big tree not far from the grassland and gave it a cold look.
Nearby, there was a dead wolf, both eyes blind, looking extremely ferocious.
"I can't believe it."
Inside the cave, the five people recalled what they had just seen in the grass and still couldn't believe it.
Three young black puppies managed to fight two wolves, killing one and injuring the other. More importantly, they themselves survived.
“A born dog king.” Kim Seok-rok sighed from the side.
The King Dog, as the name suggests, is one of the most powerful hunting dogs. They possess unparalleled strength and speed.
At that moment, three little black dogs were lying on the ground, and everyone was shaving them. Some of the wounds were quite deep. It was difficult to see the depth of the wounds unless the hair was cut off.
"How is it?" Lu Wuyai turned to the side, wanting to see how badly the little black dog was hurt, but he aggravated his own wound, causing him to gasp in pain.
Su Xi told him not to move. Although most of the wounds were claw marks, the wolves might carry rabies, and Yang Jian could die.
So from the very beginning, Su Xi was very worried about him.
Lu Wuyai was quite relieved. He had almost died in a wolf infestation. Now that he had survived another day, he would naturally be even happier.
Moreover, this ending is already a happy one.
"I hope the little black people don't die," Yang Jian thought to himself.
By this time, Anna and Kim Seok-rok had shaved the little black dog's fur clean. Only then did they discover that the dog had multiple fractures, was swollen all over, and had wounds left by wild wolves in some places.
The most serious injury was to a small black dog with two bloody holes in its neck. Although the bleeding has stopped, it was likely caused by excessive blood loss.
His survival depends on tonight's treatment.
Song Xiaoyou kept searching for medicinal herbs in the basket on her back. Dogs are different from people. Even she herself didn't know how to treat them, and could only proceed cautiously, feeling her way forward.
Fortunately, I had collected a lot of feed in the forest beforehand, so I could give it a try anyway.
Early in the morning, Yang Jian applied the ointment to the puppy and fell asleep. His wounds were getting warm, making him very uncomfortable.
The next day, Lu Wuyai felt inflammation in his body. He not only felt dizzy, but also nauseous.
“You can’t possibly have rabies,” Lu Wuyai said bitterly.
Fortunately, by the afternoon he felt he had recovered and got up from the ground. In the dark cave, he could see nothing.
But just then, someone came down from the entrance, and a light appeared at the cave entrance, instantly brightening the dark environment.
Upon seeing that it was Su Xi, Lu Wuyai leaned against the wall and walked away.
"Why don't you take a proper rest?" Tang Xin grabbed Yang Jian's arm.
Lu Wuyai shook his head. If he continued to sleep, his head would only become dizzy.
"Where's the little black dog?" Yang Jian asked.
"One died, two survived," Su Xi sighed. The sheepdog, whose neck had been bitten by a wolf's teeth, finally died.
By the stream, Song Xiaoyou and others were dealing with the body, burying the charred bones of the little black dog under a nearby rock.
When Lu Wuyai came out of the cave, the remaining two little black dogs kept complaining and looked particularly sad.
"I hope I can be reincarnated as soon as possible." Lu Wuyai pressed his temples. His head still ached when the wind blew.
The death of the puppy was a heavy blow to the women. Their three puppies, with whom they had lived day and night, suddenly became two.
Especially Song Xiaoyou, who was the one who asked Yang Jian to leave with them last night.
Seeing through Song Xiaoyou's thoughts, Su Xi took Song Xiaoyou's hand and said, "If it weren't for your insistence, Lu Wuyai might already be dead."
Lu Wuyai, who was standing to the side, echoed, but looking at the little black dog and thinking about what happened last night, he felt somewhat depressed.
"Where are the wolf carcasses from yesterday?" Lu Wuyai changed the subject. Four wild wolves died last night.
Therefore, it was very quiet around him. Song Xiaoyou, who had his head down, noticed that everyone was staring at him, and his pale face changed slightly.
"Everything is ready, the wolf meat is marinated."
Song Xiaoyou pointed to the lower reaches of the stream, where four wolf skins were soaking in the water to remove the fishy smell.
Afterwards, everyone stayed by the stream for a while before returning to the cave one by one.
As darkness fell, the countdown to the end of the year began.
On the cement, Lu Wuyai saw Anna had written the number 12 in charcoal, which meant that it was now December.
"The countdown to the New Year has begun," Lu Wuyai said with a sigh.
Everyone remained silent, each going about their own business.
If nothing unexpected happens this year, I might have to spend New Year's Eve on a deserted island.
The campfire was lit, and two little black dogs that had just returned from the brink of death lay at Lu Wuyai's feet, their heads drooping, looking rather unhappy.
The trio has since become a duo, a feeling only they can truly understand.
Yang Jian continued to have a high fever for several days afterward.
The strong smell of medicine lingered in the cellar.
Jin Xilu returned from outside, opened the cave door, and frowned. The smell of medicine was strong. She had smelled it when she was chopping wood in the forest.
"The medicine smells too strong, doesn't it?"
She jumped into the cellar. It was warm inside, but the smell was awful.
Song Xiaoyou looked up at her and said, "Let's drink for another day."
Hearing this, Jin Xilu nodded, then reached out and took the firewood Anna handed him, and went out of the cave.
Without Lu Wuyai as their main force, they would naturally be able to cut down far fewer trees each day.
Autumn had ended, but the temperature on the deserted island continued to drop day by day. Every time they went out, they wore clothes covered in the corpses of ants. Although they smelled terrible, they were truly warm.
Lu Wuyai seemed to hear a sound and woke up. After drinking the herbal decoction for several days, he could clearly feel his body slowly recovering. He figured the inflammation in his body would likely be completely resolved tonight.
He noticed that the only missing person in the cave was Su Xi.
“She went to the chicken coop and came back in a little while, followed by a falcon,” Song Xiaoyou said.
“Falcon.” Lu Wuyai blinked, curious. He already knew that the three falcons had recovered, and he was taken aback: Song Xiaoyou’s ointment was truly extraordinary.
At this time, Lu Wuyai heard about the falcon and naturally became very interested.
You must know that these three falcons had been "abused" by Song Xiaoyou before. Other people's falcons were completely different from hers. Song Xiaoyou had a feeling of filial piety emerging from its cocoon.
Unexpectedly, now, three falcons with broken wings have also appeared.
“There are three little black dogs.” Lu Wuyai had just finished speaking when he realized he had said the wrong thing.
There are no more three puppies in the cave.
Song Xiaoyou was silent for a while, then told Lu Wuyai that the little black dog's injuries had healed and that it had been playing with the wolf cubs in the forest recently.
Lu Wuyai nodded slightly, turned over, and indicated to Song Xiaoyou that the medicine could be applied.
In the darkness, Song Xiaoyou's face flushed red. She squatted down, looked at the hideous wounds on Lu Wuyai's body, and began to carefully apply medicine.
Yang Jian fell asleep again quickly during the administration of the medication.
When I woke up again, it was already the morning of the next day.
A small black dog was licking his ankle, the wet touch bringing him a sense of warmth.
After the fight that night, Lu Wuyai felt that there was a subtle connection between himself and the two little black dogs.
The general called out to the little black dog at his feet, then called out to another little black dog lying in the corner, "Marshal."
As soon as he finished speaking, two black dogs ran up to Lu Wuyai and stuck out their tongues. The stench from their breath almost made Lu Wuyai faint.
"You should brush your teeth."
Lu Wuyai said with disgust, pushed them away, then walked to the cave entrance and pushed aside the wooden planks above.
A cold wind blew by, making people shiver.
Lu Wuyai tightened the sheepskin wrapped around his body, stepped out of the cave onto the slippery ground, and came into the bright outside world.
The black dog vanished into the nearby forest in an instant, like an arrow released from a bow. The occasional wolf howls likely came from when it was mingling with its cubs.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai looked around at the stream. After finding no one, he bent down and covered the entrance of the cave with his hand to prevent others from discovering him.
Then he walked toward the chicken coop further away.
On this deserted island, the sea breeze didn't seem strong; the occasional gusts felt like knives cutting. Lu Wuyai touched his face, and suddenly his skin felt rough.
Ten minutes later, when he arrived at the chicken coop, Yang Jian saw Anna come out of it, followed by Song Xiaoyou.
As for Su Xi and Jin Xilu, they are not here.
When Song Xiaoyou and Anna saw Lu Wuyai, they were obviously surprised, but considering his injuries, they told him to go back to the cave to rest first.
Lu Wuyai shook his head and refused. He took out an axe from his waist and lay flat in the cave for several days. He almost died.
Woof woof
The sound of dogs barking came from the woods, scaring the pheasants in the henhouse so much that they almost cooked them.
The others were not surprised. The general and marshal had largely recovered from their injuries. Their animal instincts enabled them to become active again on the desert island.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai glanced at a small pile of stones on the rocky hill, where their companions were buried.
"I'm going to chop wood, don't worry."
Yang Jian gave Song Xiaoyou a reassuring look. He knew his body very well.
"You, be careful."
Anna looked at the blond, blue-eyed Lu Wuyai, her fair cheeks glowing with a light that made the man's heart flutter.
As Lu Wuyai walked into the forest, he was surrounded by generals and marshals. As for the little wolf, it had rarely come to the cave recently. The return of its wild instincts had gradually restored its wolfish consciousness.
However, the wolf cub would still appear on time every mealtime, which made Lu Wuyai despise it.
"Go find Su Xi and the others." Lu Wuyai patted the general, who immediately snorted and ran forward.
Half an hour later, braving the biting northwest wind, Lu Wuyai found Tang Xin and Jin Xilu chopping wood in the forest.
"Yang Jian".
Su Xi glanced at him, waved, and a bright smile appeared on her face.
"I'm here to help you." Lu Wuyai raised his axe and chopped down the big tree next to him.
The nearby trees are all of the same type, somewhat like birch trees. The bark can be completely peeled off, which is very useful for daily life on a desert island.
Perhaps because he hadn't done anything for so long, Lu Wuyai found chopping wood much easier than before. He seemed to have more energy to do it.
"Speak slowly." Su Xi was also taken aback by the frequency with which Lu Wuyai was chopping people up. Compared to before, it was indeed faster.
After a minute, Lu Wuyai stopped.
It was a tree as thick as two thighs. Now it lay completely fallen in the forest. The ground shook, and there had been a loud bang just moments before.
"That's too fast," Kim Seok-rok said in surprise.
Lu Wuyai pursed his lips. The last thing a man wants to hear is a woman saying he's too fast.
However, Lu Wuyai also felt that when he swung the axe just now, there was a smooth feeling that made his logging ability stronger.
Lu Wuyai and the others didn't think much of it and started chopping wood again.
Winter arrived, but the accumulated timber was still too little. Over the next few days, Lu Wuyai began to carry the timber into the cave using his own strength.
Therefore, on the other side of the rocky mountain, the dense forest is thinning day by day at a visible rate.
One day in mid-December, Lu Wuyai put down his axe and looked at the fallen tree. The sun was shining brightly overhead, and his forehead was covered in sweat.
"That's about it," Yang Jian asked.
Tang Xin and Song Xiaoyou exchanged a glance and nodded. Once the logs were tied up, the space inside the cave would probably be reduced by half.
But it's okay, lately everyone has been digging new tunnels at night, mainly to build toilets.
On the rocky hill, Anna and Kim Hee-rok were preparing materials for making cement. One was working with wood ash, and the other was working with dried gravel.
Both of these types of jobs are quite meticulous and require a lot of personal energy and physical strength.
Fortunately, time is the most indispensable thing on a desert island.
After noon, Lu Wuyai and the others bundled the firewood together, mostly in bundles of fifteen, so it wasn't too heavy and was easy to carry.
Now, the general and marshal have grown up a lot and can occasionally help them transport timber.
Lu Wuyai's injuries have fully healed, and his physical condition seems even better than before. Recently, his appetite has been unusually large. Although he knows food is precious, his hunger is completely beyond Lu Wuyai's control.
"I'm hungry again," Su Xi asked when she saw Yang Jian touching her stomach.
Lu Wuyai nodded, his expression not good. Back in his school days, he often felt hungry right after meals, so he was quite familiar with the feeling of hunger, but things were different lately.
Su Xi didn't say anything more, took out a shriveled fruit from her pocket, and told Lu Wuyai to fill his stomach first.
There wasn't much flesh in the dried fruit, but it tasted pretty good. Lu Wuyai took a couple of bites, barely managing to suppress his hunger.
As evening fell, everyone gathered in the cave once more. Lu Wuyai was still digging in the dirt, while Su Xi and the others began preparing dinner.
When Jin Xixin saw Tang Xin take out five pounds of mutton, he frowned.
"Did you eat too much for this meal?"
“Not much.” Su Xi glanced at Lu Wuyai’s retreating figure and said, “Let’s eat first. What we can’t finish can be given to Yang Jian. He’s been very tired lately.”
Jin Xilu narrowed her eyes slightly, but said nothing more. After eating two pieces of mutton, she stood aside and began cleaning the dirt.
It takes a long time to open the toilet. It would be better to keep the sewage tank far away from it.
Furthermore, to maintain cleanliness, the passageway eventually needs to be covered with cement to prevent soil contamination and the growth of bacteria and insects.
After working for a while, Lu Wuyai started to get hungry. Seeing the mutton on the hot plate, he immediately started eating.
Lu Wuyai's ravenous eating made people's mouths water.
However, Su Xi still reminded Yang Jian to chew his food slowly and carefully so as not to choke.
Lu Wuyai devoured about three kilograms of mutton in less than a minute, not even leaving the bones behind.
Even so, Lu Wuyai turned around, frowning, feeling an emptiness in his stomach.
"Have I become a glutton? That's not right."
Smelling the lingering aroma of roasted mutton in the air, Lu Wuyai couldn't help but swallow hard.
When no one was looking, he secretly glanced at a clay pot in the corner. Inside were a small amount of wild boar meat. He had secretly taken a few pieces while on guard duty the previous night, unable to bear the hunger that followed. He threw them into the fire.
As a result, things spiraled out of control.
He ate two-thirds of the ten kilograms of pork in the earthenware pot, but only ate half.
“We’d need about ten pounds of pork a day to eat that much,” Lu Wuyai sighed. “What are we going to do?”
The food stored in the cellar was carefully managed, and with the several harvests in late autumn, it was only enough for them to survive the three-month winter.
But now, Yang Jian's situation will directly lead to the team facing a major problem of food shortage.
“We need to find something to eat tomorrow; we can’t just sit here and do nothing,” Lu Wuyai sighed.
After that, the five men continued digging the tunnel for another two hours, and their tiring day came to an end.
In the dead of night, Su Xi, who was on night watch, glanced at the sleeping people, quietly took a piece of mutton from a clay pot, and stuffed it into the ashes under the campfire.
About half an hour later, Su Xi used a bamboo skewer to take out the mutton and placed it near Lu Wuyai's mouth, who was still savoring it.
Smelling the aroma of meat, Lu Wuyai naturally opened his eyes. When he saw Su Xi and the mutton, he was deeply moved.
"Eat, and then get some rest," Tang Xin said softly, gesturing for Lu Wuyai to eat quickly so that no one else could see them.
That night, Yang Jian ate mutton and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Lu Wuyai left the cave very early, carrying a lot of materials, and led the general and the white falcon, striding towards the forest.
His appetite suddenly increased, and Lu Wuyai had to deal with this hidden danger himself; otherwise, if this went on for too long, the others in the cave would also suffer.
Food is so important to everyone, especially in winter. Lu Wuyai couldn't be selfish; he had to take care of it himself.
It makes a clanging sound.
The white falcon burst out of the cave and flew straight into the sky.
Lu Wuyai glanced at him, but wasn't worried at all that the other person would fly away. During their time together, he had already admitted that Song Xiaoyou was unique to Yao Ying.
Every few days, the three falcons would bring some "snacks," such as half a rabbit, a venomous snake, or a severed animal arm.
This time, Lu Wuyai planned to go to a rather far place, a forest outside the orchard. The journey took about five hours.
He had very limited time to stay in the forest in order to get back to the cave before dark.
So, he set off as soon as it got dark.
On early winter mornings, a chill lingers in the forest, with white mist covering the entire area like a thin veil.
The general was clearing the road ahead, occasionally glancing up at the sky. At a 45-degree angle, there was always an eagle patrolling.
It has to be said that with such a combination, Lu Wuyai felt very safe walking in the mountains.
Because if there is any danger, this white falcon nicknamed "Gruti" will definitely be the first to issue a warning while flying in the sky.
Generals are often very accurate in predicting danger.
After the last experience of the dog fighting the wild wolf, Yang Jian felt very gratified for them.
After jogging slowly, Lu Wuyai finally crossed the orchard before noon and arrived at the unfamiliar grove.
He had seen this place before in the nearby mountains and knew that there was a grassland on the other side where herbivores would occasionally appear, but he was not sure if there were any animals left now.
Most of the once lush green grass has turned dark yellow and withered, but some green turf still remains on some of the sunniest gentle slopes.
As Lu Wuyai walked, the general had already run quite far, occasionally sniffing the scent on the ground and barking a few times.
At this time, wild rabbits often appear in burrows in some lawns.
The greedy mouth in the sky is even more direct. If you aim accurately, you can put a rabbit straight into its mouth after a single dive.
Before long, eight more wild rabbits appeared in the basket on Lu Wuyai's back. Without hesitation, he began cooking on the lawn. After roasting the rabbits, he enjoyed a hearty meal.
These rabbits were quite large; an adult weighed at least five kilograms. Yang Jian ate with great relish. He ate five in one go, patting his round belly. This was the most he had eaten in days.
It makes a clanging sound.
It let out a greedy scream, seemingly expressing its dissatisfaction.
Lu Wuyai glanced over and noticed that the general was also sitting on the ground, sticking out his tongue, and looked pleasing to the eye.
"You're quite greedy too."
Lu Wuyai was not stingy. Without them, he might have had to spend even more effort.
He took two rabbits from the basket on his back and threw them directly to an eagle and a dog without touching them.
"I'm full after today's meal, I need to hurry up and prepare the next meal."
Half an hour later, Lu Wuyai set a trap near the grassland. The general and Tanzui cooperated once again to catch wild rabbits on this vast lawn.
At one o'clock, Lu Wuyai stood on a relatively high, gentle slope, looking around at the surrounding grassland.
The lawn wasn't very large, spanning five small hills, but for a deserted island, it should be considered a grassland.
Back at the foot of the mountain, the general came running over with his mouth full of rabbit blood.
"The harvest was pretty good."
Lu Wuyai was surprised to see that in just one hour, they had harvested another fifteen wild rabbits, enough for him to eat for three days.
"Bringing you along on this trip was definitely the right choice," Yang Jian said with a smile.
Then, he put the rabbit in the basket and started to return the way he came.
It was very late. On the way back, Lu Wuyai started running. He had to reach Shiqiu before dark, or he would freeze to death in the cold night.
But when he arrived at the orchard, a familiar "red current" once again blocked Lu Wuyai to the other side.
"It seems I can't go back tonight." Lu Wuyai thought of the crevice at the foot of the mountain not far away, where he could spend the night.
He checked the time and found there were still three hours until dark. After thinking for a moment, he put down the basket on his back, took out the earthenware jar, and began collecting red ants.
Time passed by, and by four o'clock in the afternoon, most of the red ant corpses in the pottery jar had been collected.
In the orchard, Lu Wuyai put the pottery jar away again. Just as he was about to leave, he felt a slight tremor in the ground.
At first, he didn't notice. He just took the jar and left.
But when he occasionally glanced back at the orchard, he noticed some of the fruit trees were shaking violently. This sudden scene caught Lu Wuyai's attention.
Is it some kind of animal?
With that in mind, the greedy mouth let out a long cry in the sky, causing Lu Wuyai to frown immediately.
Over the past few days, he has come to almost understand the meaning of the different bird calls made by the greedy mouth.
The call lasted for quite a while, which means that it can't handle things in the orchard by itself.
At this moment, the general also became restless, his limbs constantly gripping the ground, the black hair on his neck standing on end, and his body arching against Lu Wuyai, as if demanding that he leave quickly.
Lu Wuyai stroked the general's chin to calm him down.
The greedy sky hadn't left yet, still lingering above the orchard. Seeing this, Lu Wuyai cheered and walked to a higher spot in the orchard.
As a result, looking down from here, he actually saw a big black bear crashing into a fruit tree.
In addition, Yang Jian also saw a group of red things following behind the black bear.
"They look like a swarm of bees."
“This black bear is very unlucky,” Lu Wuyai complained.
Most bees in deep forests are highly venomous, especially this swarm. They are entirely blood-red. At first glance, they are not ordinary bees.
This black bear is probably in trouble.
Previously, Lu Wuyai had seen many animal carcasses killed by bees, some of which had turned into blood, demonstrating the extent of their toxicity.
To avoid harming Chi Yu, Lu Wuyai decided to leave first. However, just as he was about to leave, the black bear suddenly accelerated its collision with the fruit tree. Like a drowning man, in the final moment, it unleashed a tremendous will to survive and a burst of strength.
Seeing the big tree being slammed down with a loud crack, Lu Wuyai felt he had gained a new understanding of power.
