Chapter 87 Taste
The four people and the two wolves stared at each other quietly, and no one moved first.
Yu Qingchuan looked here and there, and the scene was a little funny.
The silence from Qiao Yu's side finally alerted the Lin family to something unusual. Lin Yingjie and Lin Chi followed their gaze.
When they saw the two black wolves, their first reaction was to open their arms and protect the Lin family members behind them.
Then he bent forward, ready to attack.
Seeing this, the big black wolf took two steps back vigilantly, but its eyes still stubbornly looked at Qiao Yu and the other three.
Qiao Yu didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that the big wolf seemed to be looking at her intently.
Finally, after a stalemate of nearly ten minutes, the wolf took the first step.
It lowered its head slightly and began to slowly approach Qiao Yu and the other three step by step.
Its steps were somewhat unsteady, and its body was trembling slightly, as if it was enduring immense pain with every step it took.
But its eyes are always alert and determined.
When Lin Yingjie, Lin Chi and Deng Minglang saw that the two wolves were actually walking towards them, they immediately pulled out their steel pipes and held them in their hands, ready to rush forward when they came into their attack range.
"Don't move." Qiao Yu whispered to stop them, "They don't want to attack us."
The three of them calmed down after hearing this. They relaxed their grip slightly and retreated a few meters to protect the Lin family.
The larger black wolf staggered forward for less than ten meters before its body swayed and it fell to the ground with a bang.
“Mmmmm——”
The smaller one fell off its back as it fell, and lay on the ground, humming anxiously and nudging its body with its nose. But it seemed that the little black wolf couldn't move either.
Seeing this, Qiao Yu and the other three stood up and slowly approached the two black wolves.
These are two female black wolves.
One big and one small, if Qiao Yu guessed correctly, they should be a mother and daughter.
Mutated beasts cannot reproduce. This wolf cub must have been born before the apocalypse.
They were all seriously injured.
The wolf cub's two hind paws were already bloody and it could only support its body with its front paws.
There was a long gash on the side of the wolf's belly, blood was flowing all over the floor, and even her intestines were flowing out, half dragging on the ground.
In this state, Qiao Yu didn't know how he could stay with them all night.
The she-wolf's eyes were open, but her pupils were dilated and her gaze was growing dim. Qiao Yu squatted down and tentatively touched the she-wolf's head, but found that it had no reaction.
——It’s dead.
“Ouch—”
The tender yet mournful howl of a wolf echoed throughout the valley.
Qiao Yu gently closed the mother wolf's eyes with some pity.
"What should we do with this little guy?" Cheng Sinian looked at the wolf cub shivering beside the mother wolf's body. He squatted down and poked its head gently, but the little guy suddenly raised his head and almost bit his hand.
Fortunately, Cheng Sinian reacted quickly and withdrew his hand in time.
The young wolf failed to attack, so it bared its teeth and warned Cheng Sinian.
"Oh, quite fierce!" Cheng Sinian raised a malicious smile, "How about killing it and eating it?"
The young wolf didn't understand what he was saying, but judging from his expression, it didn't seem like he was saying anything good.
A trace of fear flashed across its eyes, and it shrank back towards the dead female wolf, supporting itself with its two front paws.
Although he was shaking, he still bared his teeth fiercely.
Qiao Yu didn't respond, staring at the wolf cub thoughtfully. After waiting for a moment, he tentatively reached out his hand.
Cheng Sinian was about to stop it, but he saw that the wolf cub actually retracted its teeth and lowered its head obediently to let Qiao Yu pet it.
When Qiao Yu raised her hand, he gently licked her palm.
The corner of Cheng Sinian's mouth twitched, and he felt a little unbalanced in his heart.
Why is this wolf still looking at people's favors?!
What happened to the saying that opposites attract and likes repel?
Do she-wolves also appreciate beautiful women these days?
Qiao Yu didn't know what Cheng Sinian was thinking, but she just silently confirmed in her heart that the two wolves were indeed looking at her just now.
But why?
Even mutant beasts that have retained their sanity should still have pre-apocalyptic hunting instincts.
Animals in the wild shouldn't be so alert.
No... Look at the way the wolf cub just bared its teeth at Cheng Sinian...
It's not that they are not vigilant, they are just close to her.
But after realizing this, Qiao Yu became even more confused.
Was there something special about her that attracted them?
"Aren't you going to save it?" Yu Qingchuan appeared behind the four of them at some point, staring at Qiao Yu. "It has already recognized you as its master."
"?" Qiao Yu was slightly stunned. "Recognize me as your master?"
Yu Qingchuan is a mutant, half a mutant beast, and can understand animal language.
And judging by the wolf cub's humble and submissive look, he probably didn't lie to them.
Cheng Sinian curled his lips, "You're still a little rascal. You know how to cling to others at such a young age."
Yu Qingchuan smiled, turned his head and glanced at Lin Han in the distance, then approached the group and whispered, "They must have smelled the plants from last night, so they followed us all the way here."
"What did you say?" Qiao Yu's eyes darkened and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
Seeing the surprise on everyone's faces, Yu Qingchuan couldn't help but wonder, "Why? Don't you know? That plant has a very special smell. Can't you smell it?"
It was because the taste was so special that he wanted to ask Qiao Yu for one to study.
How come...it turns out they can't smell it?
Qiao Yu's face turned slightly grim when he heard this.
According to what Yu Qingchuan meant, that smell is something that humans cannot smell, only mutant beasts and mutants can smell it.
She had long known that the Yushu Space was a very special existence, but she never expected that humans and animals had different perceptions of the derivative objects in the Yushu Space.
If all mutant beasts can smell that smell, does that mean that this smell will also attract those mutant beasts that have lost their minds?
What about other species? Can mutant plants sense it?
No, she has to find an opportunity to experiment.
She had to figure out whether the smell came from the jade tree itself or from the jade vine.
She also had to determine which species would detect the scent.
Yushu Space is the trump card in their hand. The more she knows about it, the better she will be to them.
But at this moment, while Qiao Yu's heart was filled with doubts and solemnity, he also felt a sense of relief.
Fortunately, I found out the inside story today.
She had only used the Jade Vine a few times before, and it hadn't been exposed much.
The only people who knew about it besides the four of them were the wolf cub who recognized her as his master and Yu Qingchuan, who was temporarily tied to the same rope with them.
She still has a chance to make amends.
Since this wolf has recognized its master, let's take it in.
Anyway, the mutant beasts can be hunted, and she doesn't need to spend much effort on it.
If it dares to disobey...it won't be too late to kill it then.
As for Yu Qingchuan...
Qiao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and began to look at Yu Qingchuan calmly.
Yu Qingchuan was completely unaware that he had been targeted, and he continued to ask Qiao Yu, "Mrs. Jiang, where did you find that plant? Can't you let me study it?"
