102 Wilderness Survival
◎They had never seen such a burrowing wolf.◎
Xiaohua heard Ye Zhizhi's call, crawled out quickly, hissed at her, and circled around Ye Zhizhi, as if it had not had enough fun.
Ye Zhizhi quickly washed off the mud he had just gotten on, and when the black python emerged from the pool, he hissed goodbye to it seriously this time.
The black python didn't show any emotional reaction. Ye Zhizhi thought that since it brought them out, it must have known that they wanted to leave, which was equivalent to agreeing to their departure. So she told Xiaohua to leave quickly.
Ye Zhizhi was quite worried that the black python would follow them. She thought Yin Yi would definitely be furious. He had already reluctantly accepted having one more snake as his companion, so if there was another one, they would have to fight.
Moreover, this black python looks like it's not easy to mess with, and it's probably even more incompatible with the wolf pack.
Ye Zhizhi also didn't want the black python, who coveted Xiaohua, to keep following them. What if he deceived Xiaohua away? Ye Zhizhi's defense against the black python was fully raised.
Fortunately, until she and Xiaohua ran out of the huge conical rock formation, they did not see the black python following them out.
However, the black python's ability to hide is so strong that she might not have noticed it.
Ye Zhizhi turned his head and took a few careful looks to make sure there was no trace of the black python, and he and Xiaohua ran even faster.
Xiaohua knew nothing and followed Ye Zhizhi happily. It was obvious that she had no attachment to the black python.
Seeing this, Ye Zhizhi thought that their Xiaohua was still a little girl snake who knew nothing and had not yet awakened.
It didn't seem like it took very long to pass through the underground cave, but after coming out, they were already very far away from the wolves, so they had to run faster to find the wolves.
Xiaohua and Ye Zhizhi were running across the ground quickly as if they were chasing each other.
Ye Zhizhi felt that she was running so fast that only her afterimage was left. Not only could she keep up with the snake, she also kept running for a long time.
Now, perhaps she can keep up with the wolves.
Later, Ye Zhizhi ran until he was exhausted, then he sat on Xiaohua and let it carry him running.
They ran without stopping for a moment, but they still ran for a whole day and night, and only reached the nesting territory of the giant lizards in the evening of the next day.
Xiaobai, who was wandering at the entrance of the nest passage, smelled the scent of Xiaohua and Ye Zhizhi from afar and immediately let out a loud cry.
When Ye Zhizhi and Xiaohua ran to the vicinity of the den, the wolves that had been wandering around in the cave searching for Xiaobai quickly ran out after hearing Xiaobai's cry, and just saw the cub and the snake jumping back.
The wolves didn't quite understand why the wolf girl and the python who disappeared deep in the lair ran back from outside the cave, but as long as they came back safely, it was fine.
Yin Yi no longer had any temper. He had even gotten used to it. As long as the wolf girl left their sight, she would disappear after a while. No one knew where she would go. As long as the wolf girl could come back, it would be fine.
Ye Zhizhi hugged Yin Yi and explained with a few howls that she did not leave on purpose, it was due to irresistible factors that made the wolf worried, she would be careful next time!
Yin Yi lowered his head and licked Ye Zhizhi's head. After running outside for a long time, Ye Zhizhi's body was covered with sand.
The wolves were originally leisurely lying in the cave to recuperate. Although the wolf girl's breath and movements were getting farther and farther away from them, they could still sense her presence at all times. Who knew that before long, not only the wolf girl's breath disappeared, but even the python's breath quickly disappeared.
The wolves followed Ye Zhizhi and Xiaohua's tracks, only to find out that they eventually disappeared beside an underground river.
Yin Yi had already guessed that the wolf girl disappeared from the water.
It’s just that the wolves can’t swim underwater and can’t notice the movement in the water.
They walked back and forth along the river. They never waited for Wolf Sister and the python to surface, so Yin Yi tried to dive in. However, the area where he went in was very calm and normal, and he found nothing in the end.
Wait, there seems to be a very strong aura on the wolf girl, very faint, as if it is there and not there.
Yin Yi sniffed.
The other wolves also gathered around and sniffed Ye Zhizhi, as if to confirm whether Ye Zhizhi was injured.
Ye Zhizhi comforted the wolves one by one, while also checking their wounds.
Luckily, the wolves were simply looking for her and didn't encounter anyone they needed to fight, so none of her wounds opened.
She and the wolf pack returned to their den, and Ye Zhizhi couldn't wait to distribute the resin she had found in the cave to the wolves. She was careful not to drop any along the way.
Ye Zhizhi specially picked the largest piece for Yin Yi and handed it to it.
Yin Yi leaned in and sniffed it. In the wolf's opinion, this plant was of no benefit to the wolf, but the wolf girl was in high spirits, as if this was something very good for the wolf, so she rolled her tongue, chewed it in one bite and swallowed it.
There's no harm in it anyway, since Wolf Girl likes to feed them weird things.
The gray wolf was knowledgeable and instinctively recognized that this plant resin was not a common thing. It lowered its head and sniffed, then sniffed at Ye Zhizhi, as if confirming something.
Ye Zhizhi tilted his head and looked at Aunt Wolf in confusion.
The gray wolf did not explain. It lowered its head and ate the resin, then lay down in the corner to rest.
The wolves also began to lie down.
Xiaohua seemed to have almost exhausted all her energy and soon curled up to rest.
Ye Zhizhi leaned against Yin Yi and soon fell asleep with his eyes closed.
She hadn't slept since she woke up from unconsciousness after being dragged into the dark cave. Now that she was back with the familiar wolf pack, she fell into a deep sleep peacefully.
The gray wolf opened his eyes slightly and looked at the cubs who were being licked and surrounded by Yin Yi, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
The cub's breath seemed less mixed.
In the following days, Ye Zhizhi was much more obedient. At least she would not run into an unknown cave alone with a snake that was equally jumpy. In order to keep an eye on her, Aunt Wolf followed her almost every step of the way.
The wolves' injuries are getting better, and now they have the ability to protect themselves, so there is no need to watch over them all the time.
Ye Zhizhi: “…”
After some time, the gray wolf took the young ones out hunting.
The environment here is different from the jungle environment, and the prey is also different. When the gray wolf takes them out hunting, it is also teaching them survival skills in such an environment.
Ye Zhizhi and the wolf pack witnessed Aunt Wolf's strength and learned a lot from her.
As expected of a wolf that can roam freely alone, his hunting skills and survival experience are incomparable to those young wolves.
Ye Zhizhi couldn't help but sigh, thinking about how many good deeds Uncle Scar must have done to be favored by such a majestic and powerful Aunt Wolf, and to have her give birth to a cub.
Before they knew it, they had stayed in this cave for more than a month. The wolves' injuries had almost healed, so they prepared to set off back to the wolf den.
And it was time for the gray wolf to leave.
The gray wolf had no intention of going back with them.
The gray wolf was used to being alone, and spending such a long time with its cubs was already its limit. Now that the cubs had recovered, there were not many animals in the area that could threaten them.
On the yellow ground, the strong wind blew the fine sand into flying shapes. The dark gray wolf stood opposite the five wolves, a human cub, and a snake, as if saying goodbye.
Silver Gray walked forward, rubbed the gray wolf's neck, and then stepped back.
Compared to the young wolf's more obvious reluctance, the gray wolf still looked very aloof. It turned around, stretched out its limbs and moved forward, its speed getting faster and faster, and then it started running.
Silver Little Gray stood there, watching the wolf mother go away and slowly disappear on the horizon. It looked up with reluctance, but it still chose to continue staying with Ye Zhizhi and the others.
Ye Zhizhi walked forward and patted Yin Xiaohui's forelimbs.
Now Yin Xiaohui has grown to be only a little smaller than Yin Yi. He can no longer throw himself into Ye Zhizhi's arms like he did when he was little. Now he just presses his head against Ye Zhizhi, and she holds him with difficulty.
Ye Zhizhi was pushed back and almost lost his balance.
She patted Silver Gray and rubbed his furry head.
Silver Gray let out a low howl.
Ye Zhizhi understood very well. Xiao Hui left Aunt Wolf when he was so young. Now that they finally met, it was normal for him to be reluctant to leave.
Yin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, walked over, raised his claws and slapped it hard.
Silver Gray howled, but didn't dare to rub against its wolf sister again, and retreated away in grievance.
Sister Wolf would comfort it and hug it, but Brother Wolf would actually beat it.
Ye Zhizhi: “…”
After saying goodbye to Aunt Wolf, it was time for them to set off for home.
Ye Zhizhi has already determined that the direction they are heading may be wrong.
The direction Aunt Wolf disappeared in was the direction Ye Zhizhi originally planned to go.
If this direction would bring us closer to human society, Aunt Wolf would not go in this direction.
Wild animals will instinctively avoid areas that pose a threat to them and will not run out of the forest unless there are special circumstances.
They started their return journey.
On the way back, you will pass through the black python area.
Ye Zhizhi was a little nervous, but for some reason, she never saw the black python again after that, nor did she notice it following them in the dark.
Could she have misunderstood? Ye Zhizhi thought she was overthinking it. Animals' emotions were relatively pure and straightforward. If the black python had taken a fancy to Xiaohua, it might have proposed to her directly, without being so roundabout.
Maybe the black python just treated Xiaohua as a younger member of the same species?
Ye Zhizhi thought that such a cute little flower deserved to be pampered and indulged, right?
They returned safely to the river bank, and the raft she built was still lying on the shore.
Ye Zhizhi checked and made sure there was no problem. Then he and Xiaohua sent the wolves to the other side.
The way back was smooth. They did not go to unfamiliar places, and they already knew which places contained creatures they were not good at provoking. They deliberately avoided those areas and soon returned to the hill near the wolf's den.
Ye Zhizhi saw the wolf pack's territory from afar and howled excitedly, announcing to the jungle that they were back.
Ye Zhizhi thought that she had not seen the wolf mother for more than half a year. At this moment, she missed her so much that she couldn't wait to run to the territory. As a result, she ran for a long time but didn't see any wolf come out to greet them.
Ye Zhizhi: “?” Could it be that the wolf mother hadn’t noticed their return yet? She howled loudly a few times.
The wolves responded: "..."
They had never seen a wolf so entwined in its den.
How come these cubs came back so quickly?
Compared to the first time when the wolves were excited, this time they were very calm when they saw the group of young wolves running back.
Instead, he was very curious about the python that was following Ye Zhizhi closely, very nervously, and with its whole body very alert.
Is this the "specialty" brought back by the cubs?
They haven't eaten pythons yet.
Xiaohua hooked her tail around Ye Zhizhi and resisted the urge to run away. Why did these wolves look so scary?
"Hiss!" Ye Zhizhi grabbed Xiaohua's tail and howled at the wolves, telling them that this was her good friend and companion, not food! She brought it back just to introduce Xiaohua to the wolves, so that Xiaohua wouldn't be attacked by the wolves when she came to her territory.
Don't think that she didn't see Uncle Scar's claws ready to move, and he was not allowed to have an appetite for Xiaohua.
Ye Zhizhi looks fierce and aggressive.
Sanbai was more careful and noticed Xiaohua's vigilance and fear after being surrounded by the wolves. He walked forward with his tail wagging and stood in front of Xiaohua. Yin glanced at Xiaohua, whose snake scales were trembling slightly, and also walked over. He howled and told these unreliable wolf elders to stay away.
Xiaohua is very powerful, but can only fight back and forth with young wolves like Yinyi. The aura of the little cub's elders is even stronger. It was surrounded by so many wolves, but it was able to resist attacking and running away. It was already a great restraint of its instinct.
Well, the wolves actually recognized that the snake skin that the cubs had brought back before was from this python. They thought it was the trophy they took away after defeating the python's den.
The wolves followed their instructions and sniffed the pythons one by one, indicating that they remembered and would not attack the pythons raised by their cubs.
Then he lay down and watched the fun.
This is something I've never seen before in my life. I've never seen wolves and snakes get along so harmoniously. These young wolves are much more powerful than them. At least when they encounter other species, they only consider whether they can defeat them. If they can, they get the food, and if they can't, they run away.
This cub always brings them surprises.
