111 Wilderness Survival
◎ As soon as she opened her mouth, she spat out a mouthful of blood.◎
These wild mountains and hills are beyond human control.
The cliffs on both sides are covered with clouds and fog.
What Ye Zhizhi had to do was to shorten the distance between the natural barriers as much as possible. The wolf pack had easily crossed a distance of less than ten meters before. Even if she only shortened the distance by a few meters, it would greatly increase the wolf pack's chances of survival.
Man-made bridges... are not impossible.
Ye Zhizhi looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the tall trees not far behind him.
The ancient tree, which has been there for who knows how many years, stands silently.
Ye Zhizhi didn't think of taking the thick tree trunk. After all, the trunk was thicker than a wolf's trunk. It was obvious that it had lived for at least a thousand years. It would be a pity for her to cut it down like this.
Ye Zhizhi was interested in the horizontal branches of the ancient tree. Taking down a few branches would not affect the life of the ancient tree.
She ran to the ancient tree, looked up for a long time, and finally saw two straight and slender branches.
Ye Zhizhi quickly climbed up the tree and stepped on the branch she liked.
She walked back and forth and found that the branches were thicker than she had imagined and very long, about ten meters long, and could reach the other side.
Ye Zhizhi tried to jump, and the branches under his feet trembled slightly, the amplitude was almost invisible.
She took out a dagger and poked at the junction of the trunk and branches. After a long time, she could only barely peel off a piece of skin. If she had relied on herself to slowly break it off, she didn't know how long it would take.
So Ye Zhizhi summoned Yin Yi up, demonstrated to Yin Yi how to plan wood, and looked at it expectantly.
The huge figure landed lightly on Yin Yi who was standing on the branch: "..." He looked down at his claws, and before he started to move, he felt a dull pain.
But what can it do? It has to pamper its own wolf sister.
Yin Yi resigned himself to his fate and stretched out his claws to start digging at the branches. Sure enough, his efficiency was much higher.
Before long, the cut made by Yin Yi's claws tore through the branch, and the branch could not bear the weight and tilted downward.
The sound of branches breaking is particularly clear in the quiet environment.
The branches and leaves shook violently.
The branch where Yin Yi was standing slowly tilted downwards, and before falling, Yin Yi nimbly jumped to another branch.
Ye Zhizhi squatted on a branch that was bent at 90 degrees, with one point still connected. Ye Zhizhi was about to break the last part, but the big bear climbed up at some point, raised its paw and slapped it. In a few strokes, the branch was broken and fell directly to the ground.
Ye Zhizhi looked at the big bear and remembered that the big bear could also climb trees, so he happily touched its paw.
The big bear was very happy. Although he didn't know what the little wolf wanted the branch for, he thought it could be of help.
Soon, the two long branches Ye Zhizhi wanted were cut off and fell to the ground. Ye Zhizhi found the correct way to use the big bear. Its paws were more useful than Yin Yi's claws, so she asked the big bear to help her clean off the branches and leave only the main trunk.
Ye Zhizhi and the wolf went to look for vines.
She planned to tie the two trunks together to increase the width enough for wolves and bears to pass through.
By the time Ye Zhizhi came back with a lot of vines, Daxiong had already cleaned up the branches.
Ye Zhizhi tied the thick end and the thin end together so that the ends were about the same width. After making sure it was tied firmly, Aoao communicated with the big bear. The bear and the cub stood on the edge of the cliff, raised the wooden bridge high, and then slowly lowered it.
Until they reached the opposite cliff, the length was more than enough. Ye Zhizhi pushed forward with great force, just enough to support the ground nearly half a meter on both sides.
Ye Zhizhi observed it and wondered if the wooden bridge could bear the weight of the wolf and the bear.
Yin Yi can keep his balance even when standing on a tree branch, so he should be able to do the same here, right?
Ye Zhizhi turned his head and looked at the clearly separated wolves and bears, his eyes hesitant.
Yin Yi walked over. At this time, the wolf and the bear realized that Ye Zhizhi did this to help them cross this natural barrier safely.
They never thought that they could use plants for help.
If the direct jump had an 80 to 90 percent success rate before, now it is 100 percent.
Ye Zhizhi decided to go there first and experience the effect herself.
She stood on the wooden bridge, prepared to sprint, then took a deep breath and rushed forward.
The distance was more than ten meters. Ye Zhizhi sprinted with all her strength, and in just a breath of time, she ran to the other side.
Ye Zhizhi turned around and carefully recalled her feelings just now. Well, she was small and light, so the wooden bridge did not shake. However, when she was in the middle, she could feel the strong wind. If she could not keep her center of gravity steady and walked slowly, she would easily be blown down.
Ye Zhizhi was thinking when he saw a wolf as fast as lightning. It jumped onto the wooden bridge and then jumped up directly.
The wolf's movements were light, but when its limbs landed on the wooden bridge, they caused a slight vibration.
Ye Zhizhi subconsciously lay down on one end of the wooden bridge, trying hard to hold it down to prevent it from shaking.
A silver figure passed directly over her head and landed steadily on the ground.
Yin Yi turned around and walked to the side.
Then one wolf after another jumped twice in a row. Ye Zhizhi was hanging on one end of the wooden bridge. Before she could react, the wolves were already standing behind her.
She turned her head and saw the wolves strolling leisurely, looking at her as if to say: No big deal.
Ye Zhizhi silently gave them thumbs up.
Then there is only Big Bear left, Ye Zhizhi looked across.
The big bear couldn't jump so far like the wolf. It stood at one end of the wooden bridge, looked at the wolf cubs opposite, and then walked forward tentatively.
Ye Zhizhi stared at it nervously.
What she was most worried about was the big bear, which was heavier than a wolf. After only a few steps, she could faintly hear the wooden bridge creaking under the heavy weight.
Ye Zhizhi's heart was in his throat. When Daxiong walked to the middle, Ye Zhizhi saw that the wooden bridge had begun to deform and sink.
“Ouch—”
Ye Zhizhi let out a nervous roar, and the big bear suddenly started running. The wooden bridge made an even more unbearable sound, and the end that was on the ground had already tilted up.
Ye Zhizhi's feet were off the ground and he couldn't press them down no matter how hard he tried.
Then her sight angle turned, and the next moment she was picked up by Yin Yi and taken to the side. A huge bear jumped over to her original position, and the ground shook when it landed.
Ye Zhizhi looked up and saw that the wooden bridge had completed its mission and was now falling towards the cliff, disappearing in front of her in an instant.
What a close call! Her heart was trembling, and she looked at Big Bear with relief. Fortunately, Big Bear also made it through successfully.
After resting for a while on the top of the cliff, they continued on their journey.
Ye Zhizhi sat on Yin Yi's back and observed the surrounding environment.
Separated by a cliff, the scenery on both sides is different. There are clusters of rocks on the other side, while on this side, green plants are gradually growing and covered with vines.
Ye Zhizhi was wary of the unfamiliar area and thought to himself that he should let the wolves practice jumping more and try to break their limits.
Back then, she couldn't even jump over a distance of less than two meters. After her unremitting efforts, three to five meters is now no problem for her.
Wolves have such strong jumping abilities, and if she can constantly break through her own limits, surely wolves can do the same.
If you ever encounter danger and need to jump such a long distance, but die because you can't jump over it, it would be a pity.
Ye Zhizhi didn't dare let the wolves take risks in places where there was no room for error, but he was willing to let them go to places where they wouldn't die from the fall.
When she saw a small col, she decided it was the perfect place for the wolves to practice.
The distance between the two sides is about the same as the distance between the natural chasms, both more than ten meters, but underground is not a cliff, but a mountain with a lot of gravel, in a cone shape. The deepest part in the middle is four or five meters, but there are slopes on both sides. The wolves have such strong jumping ability that they can definitely jump over the middle. As for where on the slope they can reach... let's practice.
Wolf Pack: “?”
Ye Zhizhi demonstrated jumping back and forth several times himself, then pointed out that the wolves had to jump over completely, and then watched from the side.
The wolves knew that Ye Zhizhi was doing this for their own good, so they didn't resist much. After walking back and forth on the other side for a while, Yin Yi took a running jump and barely jumped to the other side.
Ye Zhizhi looked down and saw that Yin Yi barely passed, but he still needed to practice more and strive to make it as easy as jumping three or five meters.
Then watch the other wolves jump.
Ye Zhizhi: "..." Except for Yin Yi, no wolf successfully landed on the other side. They were all on the slope, it was just a matter of distance.
Fortunately, each wolf is still full of confidence and eager to try.
Fortunately, she did not believe their confidence and built a wooden bridge to ensure that everything would be safe. Otherwise, the loss of two or three wolves would be a minor consequence.
Even if danger can stimulate their potential and allow them to break through their limits, what if? What if?
The wolf is really bold.
Ye Zhizhi yelled and scolded the wolves, making them lower their heads.
As the only wolf that had not been trained, Yin Yi flicked his tail and paced back and forth proudly.
After a while, Ye Zhizhi directed his anger at Yin Yi. Yin Yi was the same. As the boss, he didn't act like a boss at all. Not only did he not stop his younger brother from seeking death, but he also wanted to take the lead in the battle. It was so infuriating.
Yin Yi: “…”
Ye Zhizhi felt a surge of fear when he thought that the wolf might fall into the abyss.
A big bear not far away was watching with great interest. In its paws was a wild fruit that it had found at some point, and it was eating while watching.
After Ye Zhizhi finished training and let the wolf continue practicing jumping, the big bear approached Ye Zhizhi and handed her a bear claw fruit.
Ye Zhizhi was indeed thirsty. When she saw the fruits that Big Bear had found, although she couldn't recognize the variety, she was sure that if Big Bear could eat them, she could eat them too.
Ye Zhizhi thanked him sobly, then took a fruit, wiped the peel, and put it in his mouth and took a bite.
Hmm? Why is it so hard?
Ye Zhizhi raised his head and watched Big Bear chewing a few fruits in one bite with ease.
She increased her biting force and bit down hard. Her teeth successfully went in, and as she was trying to bite off the flesh, she felt something was wrong.
Ye Zhizhi opened his mouth wide to take the fruit away, and then found two blood-stained...baby teeth embedded in the peel?
She subconsciously touched her front teeth, but found nothing, and her fingers were covered in blood.
Ye Zhizhi could smell the blood in her mouth and her eyes widened in disbelief. She just wanted to bite a piece of fruit, but ended up biting her front teeth off?!
And two of them fell off!
The big bear smelled the blood of the wolf cub and turned his head to look down. There was no danger nearby, so how could he be injured suddenly?
The wolves not far away also smelled Ye Zhizhi's blood and jumped over one after another in an instant.
The wolves suddenly burst out with their jumping ability, almost all of them jumped over at once, surrounding Ye Zhizhi in an instant.
They thought the brown bear had done something and became alert.
The big bear couldn't stand being surrounded by so many wolves, so he suppressed his instinct to attack and took a few steps back, but still tried to get closer, looking at him with a pair of concerned bear eyes.
Ye Zhizhi held a fruit tightly in his hand and kept his mouth closed.
Yin Yi kept licking Ye Zhizhi's cheek. The place where he smelled the strongest smell of blood was right here. What happened?
Ye Zhizhi saw that Yin Yi's hair was about to stand on end, and knew that the wolf cared about her.
When she opened her mouth, she spat out a mouthful of blood, and then when the wolf became agitated, she opened her mouth again, revealing two black gaps.
