Ye Qingtao was halfway there when she suddenly heard a wolf howling. She was so scared that goose bumps appeared all over her body.
Xiao Hei also stopped, his hair stood on end, and he was ready for battle.
"Master, we are going to be unlucky today."
Not only can Xiao Hei find medicinal herbs by smell, he also has excellent hearing.
Even from a distance, it can still be heard clearly.
"Is it coming? How many heads does the other side have?"
"According to my estimation, there are at least five."
"That's not bad. If there were more than 10 wolves, we would be in great danger today."
Ye Qingtao was quite optimistic, and Xiao Hei also breathed a sigh of relief.
"But master, five wolves is a lot, and since I'm still very young, I may not be able to handle even one wolf."
As Xiao Hei spoke, his body was already trembling.
Only Ye Qingtao's consciousness can enter the space, while the body stays outside.
If they really encounter danger, Xiao Hei can be thrown into the medical space immediately, and she will be helpless.
The wolves are far away from them now, so they don't need to face them directly for the time being.
Ye Qingtao thought of several ways, either to make a fire immediately to drive away the wolves, or to hide in a tree to avoid the disaster.
The problem now is that it is not so fast to start a fire, and a small fire poses no threat to the wolves, so it is likely to be ineffective.
Climbing trees is indeed possible, but if the wolves fail to achieve their goal, they probably won’t let them go easily.
By then, the wolves will be guarding under the tree. Does she have to hide in the tree all night?
Neither method was very good. The wolves' footsteps were getting closer and closer, and she had less and less time.
"Xiao Hei, let's climb the tree!"
"But I don't seem to be able to climb trees."
Ye Qingtao picked up Xiao Hei and threw it into her hat so that she could hang it directly behind her.
"You stay in my hat for now. If you can't bear it anymore, you can go into the space."
The main reason for not letting Xiao Hei leave was that Ye Qingtao was still a little scared facing a group of wolves alone.
With Xiao Hei around, she has a new friend.
Even if I can't help much, at least I can give her some companionship.
Ye Qingtao found a big tree, spit twice on his palms to increase friction, and then began to climb up the tree.
She was naughty when she was a child and often liked to climb trees and poles, so she has some experience in this area.
But this time, in order to resist the wolves, Ye Qingtao chose a tree with a thicker trunk.
The tree trunk was too thick to be embraced, and Ye Qingtao tried several times but failed.
She switched to a smaller tree, and was finally able to put her strength to use.
She climbed up the tree quickly. When she was halfway up and hadn't even stepped on the trunk, the wolves had already gathered under the tree.
The five wolves raised their heads at the same time and stared at her fiercely.
Ye Qingtao originally had no strength to climb anymore, but now she was as energetic as if she had been given an injection of chicken blood, and she used her hands and feet to quickly climb up the nearest branch.
The branch was not thick enough and was too close to the ground. If the wolves jumped, they might bite her butt.
Ye Qingtao's leaders were rubbed by the rough bark and bled. The smell of blood floating in the air brought greater temptation to the wolves.
Seeing the wolves start to jump, Ye Qingtao could only endure the pain and continue to climb up.
She climbed up three branches of the tree in a row, and when she looked down, she saw a wolf running towards her, and then leaping in the air.
Wolves can generally jump more than 4 meters, and Ye Qingtao's position is more than 7 meters from the ground.
According to the data calculations, she shouldn't be in any danger.
Ye Qingtao hugged the tree trunk with both hands and sat on the branch carefully.
She was exhausted now and had to rest for a while before making any further plans.
Five wolves lined up and jumped straight towards her.
Every time they jumped over and missed their target, they would fall heavily to the ground.
Of course, the wolves are also smart and they learned to dodge after falling a few more times.
Some wolves kneel and roll on the ground to reduce the pressure of cushioning when they pounce.
Some wolves will deliberately jump in the grass, lying on all fours, which can effectively reduce the friction between their bodies and the ground.
Ye Qingtao sat down and rested for a while, and saw that they would not be able to jump up for a while.
Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she saw that the wolves had actually stacked up together, using the power of their companions to jump higher than before.
Ye Qingtao's feet were hanging under the branches. She thought it would be safe, but unexpectedly, a wolf's front paw directly touched the sole of her shoe.
If she hadn't been wearing thick-soled boots when she went out, the scratch would have at least pulled her shoes off, even if it hadn't scratched her soles.
The wolves were so terrifying that Ye Qingtao could only sit up again and climb to a higher place.
The higher Ye Qingtao climbed, the thinner the branches became, and the more frightened she became when sitting on them.
She only sat there for a moment before she felt her body begin to go limp.
The wolves knew they couldn't catch her, so they stopped jumping and stayed under the tree, refusing to leave.
The current situation is not favorable to Ye Qingtao. If the stalemate continues, she will be the only one who gets hurt in the end.
Ye Qingtao forced herself to calm down. She was not sure whether Gu Jingming would come to find her. Even if he did, the mountain was so big and there were so many forks on the way up. How would he know which road she took?
In the face of uncertainty in all aspects, if she relied on Gu Jingming to save her, she would probably die.
Five wolves are indeed not a lot, but she would definitely not be their match if she fought them alone.
She knew she didn't have enough strength, so she could only use her wits to defeat him.
Ye Qingtao thought of the space in the laboratory, where there were several kinds of anesthetics.
Among them is the most convenient spray anesthetic.
This anesthetic is not particularly effective, but it is very convenient to use.
If she had sprayed it from the tree toward the base, the anesthetic would have evaporated into the air.
The only way was to lure the wolves into taking the bait, making them think they could bite her, and only then would they have a chance if they were very close to her.
Ye Qingtao made up her mind. Her eyes suddenly became stern and she climbed down two branches.
When the wolves saw her move, they took the initiative to move down, and their excitement immediately became boiling again.
They automatically stacked up, and the other wolf took advantage of their height to start leaping.
Ye Qingtao quickly took out the spray anesthetic from the space.
When the wolf's head was about to touch the sole of her shoe, she quickly sprayed it on the wolf's face.
This anesthetic took effect very quickly. The wolf was full of energy when it jumped up, but when it fell down, its limbs suddenly became weak and it lay straight on the ground.
The remaining wolf felt something was strange and immediately stood up to check on his companions.
Another wolf pounced towards Ye Qingtao in disbelief. Ye Qingtao was quick to hit it, and the wolf fell to the ground with a thud. The fall was so severe that it lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up.
