116 Wilderness Survival
◎Ye Zhizhi had a bad feeling.◎
Ye Zhizhi's eyes were filled with amazement, and he stared at the holy flower in front of him with bated breath.
She watched the flower bloom with her own eyes. Just the blooming of the flower made her feel that that moment was more beautiful than any other beauty in the world.
Then she suddenly realized that this was the flower the beast was looking for.
She immediately stretched out her hand, wanting to pick the flower, but at this moment, a huge shadow appeared above her.
Ye Zhizhi sat in the crevice of the glacier, as if he could smell the breath of the giant beast.
She stretched out her hand halfway and then retracted it little by little.
Reason and impulse are intertwined.
Reason warned her not to act rashly, as if she dared to pick the flower, the giant beast above her head would crush her in an instant. But impulse urged her to pick it quickly and escape, pulling her not to miss this rare treasure.
It was a very cold day, but her forehead had already started to sweat.
The danger and crisis appeared so directly in front of her, making it difficult for her to make a decision.
Ye Zhizhi gritted his teeth and decided to give it a try.
Suddenly, a low and powerful roar broke the oppressive atmosphere around her, and her head shook violently.
Ye Zhizhi looked up and saw that the giant beast crawling on the ice above her head had left as if being dragged by something.
"roar!!"
The violent roar shook the glaciers above and below his head.
Ye Zhizhi's keen hearing detected the sounds of two giant beasts fighting, but the other breath was very unfamiliar.
Ye Zhizhi's heartbeat accelerated instantly, but she quickly adjusted her breathing, remained calm, and was not in a hurry to pick the flowers.
She quietly stuck her head out, and the scene in front of her made her hold her breath - it was another huge top predator, and they looked to be of the same species and looked very similar. The latter one was obviously larger, but the previous giant beast seemed to be quite powerful as well, and the fight went on for a while.
Ye Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it wasn't Yin Yi.
She thought it was Yin Yi who had followed her secretly.
However, Ye Zhizhi didn't know that this giant beast was lured here by Yin Yi.
Yin Yi was originally familiarizing himself with the terrain nearby, waiting to pick up Ye Zhizhi at any time. Unexpectedly, he soon discovered a giant beast wandering nearby. So he thought of Ye Zhizhi's previous behavior of diverting trouble and cleverly letting his opponent confront another powerful creature.
Yin Yi thought that if he could lure the giant beast over, and the two beasts would fight, the wolf girl would not be so obvious. With the wolf girl's intelligence, she would definitely be able to get out successfully.
Why are wolves considered intelligent animals? They are very good at drawing inferences from one instance and applying what they have learned.
It's a good thing that things turned out just as Yin Yi thought. The two giant beasts started fighting after they met. Fortunately, even though they were of the same species, they didn't know each other. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a one-on-one fight between two giant beasts and Ye Zhizhi taking advantage of the situation, but a two-on-one fight.
At the beginning, Ye Zhizhi did not dare to act rashly. It was obvious that both giant beasts wanted the flower and wanted to come over from time to time, but they were evenly matched and neither could do anything to the other. In the end, both giant beasts tried their best to knock the other down.
Ye Zhizhi saw that the two giant beasts were no longer paying attention to this side. She was about to pick the flowers, but suddenly felt something was wrong and subconsciously pounced forward.
The next moment, a thick and long tail slapped down from behind her, and the ice where Ye Zhizhi was originally located shattered into pieces and was directly slapped away.
She just pounced next to the flower. Ye Zhizhi gritted his teeth, opened the snakeskin bag, quickly covered the flower with it, pulled it up by the roots and closed the opening. Just as he was about to get up and run away, his thick and long tail swept over again, making a loud sound of breaking through the air.
Ye Zhizhi rolled on the ground and ended up rolling towards the cliff. If he hadn't grabbed the protruding ice in time, he would have rolled down the cliff.
But the situation now is not much better than rolling off a cliff.
Because Ye Zhizhi picked the flower, the two giant beasts turned their eyes to her, and they all gave up the duel and prepared to get rid of this courageous little prey first.
Ye Zhizhi was still too impatient and did not wait until they were both injured. However, given the situation she had just seen, she could not wait until that time.
The giant beast had already discovered her and would not let her stay near the flower. The tail that fell from the sky was a warning. Either run away or be slapped to death.
Having missed this opportunity, Ye Zhizhi didn't know when he would be able to get closer again.
The giant beast approached her, but was obviously cautious. It was obvious that it knew there was a cliff ahead. It still wanted the flower, otherwise it would have slapped its tail and knocked the little prey down.
Ye Zhizhi turned his head to look behind him and continued to retreat.
She touched the snakeskin bag and the whip at her waist, thinking to herself that she was really foresighted. She thought that the terrain here was so high and there was a cliff on the other side, so it would be safer with a rope on her body.
Indeed, it is necessary to be fully prepared.
So she quickly untied the vine, tied one end into a slipknot and put it on the protruding ice, tied the other end around her waist, and then slid down quickly, stopping only when she stepped on a protrusion.
Ye Zhizhi grabbed the ice with both hands, with a bottomless abyss under her feet. She thought that given her current position, the giant beast would definitely not dare to move too far forward.
There were huge beasts on both sides of the cliff. There was no way she could survive if she climbed up. It would be better for her to find a glimmer of hope on the edge of the cliff.
The more critical the moment, the calmer Ye Zhizhi becomes.
While she was paying attention to the movements of the giant beast, she was also paying attention to her feet, wondering if there was any place for her to hide or step safely.
The giant beast was obviously getting impatient, but instinctively it didn't dare to take risks easily, not to mention that there was another beast of its kind nearby, eyeing it hungrily.
The giant beast's sharp claws hooked into the solid ice surface, making a hole in the ice and making a crisp sound.
When Ye Zhizhi looked up, a huge shadow was already in front of her. She subconsciously loosened her hand and slid down the cliff.
Her waist tightened and she quickly pressed against the cliff. Her hands groped for something protruding that she could hold onto, and her feet stepped back and forth in the air. It took a while before she finally touched solid ground.
Ye Zhizhi just breathed a sigh of relief, and then she found that her originally tense waist loosened, and an ice block rolled down and fell directly from the top of her head, falling down along the back of her head, carrying the other end of the vine, and almost took Ye Zhizhi down with her. Fortunately, she held on firmly with her hands and stood firmly.
The beast spotted the vine and tried to hook it with its tail to carry the small prey away; it could smell her still on the edge of the cliff.
Unfortunately, the giant beast overestimated the flexibility of its tail. It just broke the protruding ice block, but before it could hook it up, the ice block and the vine fell down.
"roar!"
The giant beast roared angrily and walked around the edge of the cliff without any scruples.
Ye Zhizhi had a bad feeling.
She looked around quickly, and with the help of the moonlight and the reflective ice, she saw some bulge on the left side and quickly moved herself over.
Sure enough, not long after, a lot of ice cubes rolled down where she had been standing.
Ye Zhizhi looked up and saw that the giant beast would obviously not leave for a while. She had to be on guard against anything falling from above. If she was hit, she would fall down directly.
She can't stand like this for a long time, she will get hypothermia and become weak.
Ye Zhizhi could only think about moving forward.
She observed the cliff near her feet. It was still a little curved at its current position, covered with icicles, and slowly becoming thinner, turning into a concave shape. Further down, there was an almost vertical cliff, and below it was a dark abyss, like a black hole, trying to devour all living things.
This area is actually very dangerous. If the ice cracks, she will fall down with the ice.
She had to leave as soon as possible.
There were no plants in this large area to provide a buffer.
Ye Zhizhi saw a tree extending out from the ice not far below her on the left. She took out the dagger from her waist and stabbed it hard into the ice on the cliff next to her. Then she grabbed the vine with one hand, rubbed it quickly with her fingers, brought up the other end, held it in her hand, and then put it on the handle of the dagger and tightened it.
After making sure everything was alright, he stepped to the side, clung to the ice on the cliff with his whole body, moved his limbs, and slowly slid down while grabbing onto the icicles.
At this time, ice cubes kept falling beside Ye Zhizhi.
Ye Zhizhi stepped on a tree. The tree grew on the edge of a cliff, emerging from a thick layer of ice. The exposed branches were very thin, but the roots were faintly visible and very developed. A large part of the tree was still frozen in the ice, showing its tenacious life.
After Ye Zhizhi was sure that it could bear his own weight, he instantly stuck to the edge, then pulled the vine outward, loosened the dagger, and then dropped it.
The giant beast above seemed to have noticed that she had moved. The next moment, pieces of broken ice fell in front of her eyes, crackling and landing on the branches, which kept shaking.
Ye Zhizhi was extremely thankful that the position she was in was a little concave, so the ice on her head could not hit her.
Fortunately, she did not take any chances and changed her position without fear of danger.
Ye Zhizhi thought about it and felt that the possibility of her climbing up was slim. She could only look at climbing down or to the sides. There was no point in staying here. If she lost her strength, she would be in greater danger.
Ye Zhizhi lowered his head and saw the beautiful flower in the slightly opened hole. He felt a little regretful that he couldn't see the front.
Although he got into trouble because of this, Ye Zhizhi did not regret it at all.
I have the “tuition” money, hehe!
Ye Zhizhi rummaged around and pulled out a small bag of dried meat, being careful not to touch the flowers.
She ate the bag of jerky clean and rubbed her hands together.
Ye Zhizhi's palms were wrapped with snake skin, with only five little fingers exposed. They were bright red at the moment, but she could adapt to the temperature and it did not affect the flexibility of her fingers.
She gathered the snakeskin bag and tied the opening tightly. Then she looked around. The range of her current position began to slowly concave inward, making it difficult to climb, whether up or down.
Ye Zhizhi is focusing on the left and right sides, so if she walks diagonally, it should be fine.
She looked at a raised ice layer on the lower left, simulated it in her mind, then picked up the dagger and dug a hole to the left.
