126 Wilderness Survival
◎The roaring sound of the rushing flood was deafening.◎
It is still difficult to conclude whether this cave is suitable for the wolf pack's new territory. Ye Zhizhi anticipated the natural disasters that this forest might encounter, but after thinking about it, he felt that he was worrying too much.
If an irresistible natural disaster occurs, all animals within the range will be affected.
But in fact, these little animals in the canyon have lived here for many years, carefree, as if they were in a paradise. This proves that the probability of natural disasters is very small.
However, since Ye Zhizhi has already developed such concerns, she also has to think about the wolves so that if she really encounters them in the future, she won't just sit and wait for death.
Animals have a much higher sense of danger than humans, and if a disaster is about to happen, they will instinctively flee to safety.
Ye Zhizhi observed carefully and found that the vegetation in this jungle was lush, and the roots of the plants under the dead branches and rotten leaves were very developed, firmly locking the rocks and soil. Ye Zhizhi noticed that the water flowing down from the cliff was not turbid, indicating that the soil loss was not serious. As long as these plants were not seriously damaged, there would be no landslides or mudslides.
Ye Zhizhi thought that this place was so deep in the mountains that it was impossible for humans to destroy it.
If a natural disaster were to occur one day in the future, they could move quickly and escape the danger zone. If they couldn't escape in time, Ye Zhizhi felt that this cave would provide good shelter for the animals.
Ye Zhizhi paid special attention to it. The terrain of this canyon is sloping upward with no obvious slope, but the cave at the end of the canyon is the highest point. The heavy rain hits the ground and gathers into a stream, flowing out of the canyon instead of flowing back into the cave.
What's more, there are many huge rocks in the cave that rise higher and higher, much higher than the ground. If a flood rushes in, it will be an extremely huge disaster, which is estimated to occur only once in hundreds of years.
Ye Zhizhi thought of many problems and felt that there was no need to worry too much.
She continued to wander around the cave.
It was raining heavily and the sky was gloomy. Except for some light at the entrance of the cave, the light became darker as we walked inside.
But it has no effect on animals.
Ye Zhizhi may have adapted to the jungle environment and can see the surroundings as clearly as a wolf in the dark.
She also went to the spring pool and took special observation. She found that the spring water was not affected by the rain and was not turbid.
Through the crack, one could see the rain outside. The rain kept falling but did not flow into the cave. From a distance, it looked like a dream, hazy and dim.
The humidity in the cave was just right, and Ye Zhizhi felt quite comfortable staying there. He was also very satisfied with the state of the wolves. When they were not staying in the cave, they would run around in the cave. Most of the time, they would play in the big cave, and other animals would also come out to have fun.
The longer Ye Zhizhi observed inside and outside the cave, the brighter his smile became every day.
Overall, no shortcomings have been found!
Seeing his companions so enthusiastic about playing after the thunder and lightning stopped, Ye Zhizhi also joined in the fun.
The noise they made attracted the squirrels in the ancient trees outside the cave. The big squirrel and the little squirrel couldn't help but stick their heads out, looked for a moment, ran out quickly, and then ran into the cave quickly in the rain. They shook their wet hair and ran into the dark cave.
Ye Zhizhi didn't dry enough firewood. She didn't know what the winter would be like, so she didn't light the firewood and planned to save it for when the weather got cold. The whole cave was dark.
The squirrels followed the sound and ran into the cave.
Ye Zhizhi and the others were chasing each other, or rather, sparring with each other.
The wolves and snake bears were basically fighting in a melee, and Ye Zhizhi would attack whoever she caught. Although her size was very small in comparison, it would be an advantage if she used it well.
For example, she and Xiaohua cooperated to attack Damo. Xiaohua was entangled with it in the front, and Ye Zhizhi seized the opportunity, hugged Damo's tail, and tried her best to shake off its snake body.
Da Mo was originally hiding nearby and didn't want to participate, but she found Da Mo!
Her perception ability improved very quickly, and sometimes she could know the hiding direction of animals just by intuition.
Ye Zhizhi had a vague idea of where Da Mo was in the cave, so she went to look for him in that direction. She found Da Mo, who had not moved, and pulled him out to play together.
Da Mo is just too introverted. She clearly thinks Da Mo likes playing with them, but he never takes the initiative.
At the beginning, Da Mo only followed them from a distance and never came close, but after the teaching incident, their relationship quickly became closer. Seeing that Da Mo would later cooperate with them in playing hide-and-seek, Ye Zhizhi knew that Da Mo was the kind of snake who didn't want something on the surface but wanted it in his heart.
After Ye Zhizhi understood Da Mo's true nature, her impression of it as an icy and domineering snake was shattered.
Sure enough, after Ye Zhizhi pulled her tail out, Da Mo came out naturally.
Da Mo naturally would not sit still and wait for death. It shook its tail, trying to shake Ye Zhizhi away.
Ye Zhizhi tried hard to steady his lower body and press down, but in the end he was still hung up. The snake's tail, which was darker than the darkness, swayed in the air. Ye Zhizhi hugged it tightly and swayed along with it.
Failed again.
However, Ye Zhizhi was not discouraged. She persisted longer than last time.
Xiaohua also stopped attacking and hissed as he moved closer to Ye Zhizhi, as if to comfort her.
Ye Zhizhi touched the little flower snake's head and let Xiaohua continue to exchange combat experiences with its kind.
Xiaohua waved her snake tail, then turned to Damo and continued to pounce on him.
After Ye Zhizhi challenged Da Mo, he ran to challenge Da Xiong and other wolves.
She has been measuring her own fighting ability.
Due to the difference in her natural physique, Ye Zhizhi was the weakest among her companions at the beginning, but she made rapid progress. In just a sparring match, she was able to defeat Xiaobai and Yin Xiaohui, and then she could not win the fight with Erzong and Sanbai for a long time.
Ye Zhizhi estimated that his strength should be about the level of Erzong. If it was a real life-and-death fight, it would be hard to predict who would win or lose.
Ye Zhizhi's weakness is that her small body is too fragile. Once attacked, she will be seriously injured and lose the ability to fight back. Her advantage is that she is flexible and strong. She can now trip the strong and huge Yin Yi and suppress him for a while.
The squirrels quietly peeked out of the cave entrance and saw the predators fighting each other, so they didn't dare to get close. When Ye Zhizhi, sweating profusely, came out of the group of animals and stood aside, they ran to the cubs and made curious sounds.
Ye Zhizhi rubbed the two squirrels with soft, half-dry fur, then picked them up and jumped onto the platform in a few steps.
Yin Yi and the others had almost exhausted their energy, and soon they all went onto the platform.
As soon as Yin Yiyi stepped onto the platform, he saw two little uninvited guests, their green eyes looking at him.
“Ah~”
Ye Zhizhi and his companions said that the little neighbor came to visit.
She took out her dried fruits and meat to treat them.
Yin Yi lay on Ye Zhizhi's right side, his head resting on his front legs, turning his head to look at her.
Xiaohua's snake head stretched out from Ye Zhizhi's left side, and the other animals also found a comfortable position to lie down.
There were constant sounds of cooing, squeaking, roaring and hissing. Although they could not speak the same language, they were chatting very enthusiastically, and for a while, the days were peaceful and quiet.
This rainy season was lively and interesting. Time passed quickly and in the blink of an eye it was the middle of the rainy season and the heavy rain began to slow down.
Ye Zhizhi wanted to go out and see what was happening near the canyon, but Yin Yi and Xiaohua Daxiong would not let Ye Zhizhi go out alone and insisted on staying with him.
Silver, Little Gray and a few other wolves also wanted to do so, but they listened to Yin Yi and Ye Zhizhi and had no choice but to stay in the cave to guard the house.
Ye Zhizhi brought Yin Yi and Xiaohua along with them.
She wore a snakeskin coat, tied a snakeskin raincoat on her shoulders, and covered her head with a hat made of large green leaves, then walked into the rain with her companions.
There wasn't much water on the canyon floor.
Nearly two months of rainwater has seeped into the ground, making it saturated. More rainwater is flowing out along the canyon exit, and only occasionally are some depressions filled with water.
The green vegetation on the cliff was blown to pieces by the strong wind and heavy rain. Broken branches and dark green leaves fell to the ground and were carried down by the water flow or pushed to accumulate on both sides.
When Ye Zhizhi and a group of animals passed by, they made the sound of flowing water, which was very clear in the pouring rain.
The closer Ye Zhizhi got to the entrance of the canyon, the clearer the sound of rushing water became.
She remembered that there was a branch river at the entrance of the canyon, and it sounded like a flood.
Before the rainy season, the river had clear water and a gentle flow. Now it is muddy and muddy yellow, mixed with many branches and leaves. Even the accumulated water in the canyon flows into this river.
Ye Zhizhi and the others stood on the rocks at the entrance of the canyon and did not approach the arched cave.
The river bank that originally allowed them to travel back and forth was now covered with muddy river water. According to Ye Zhizhi's memory, if Yin Yi and the others went down, they would probably be submerged up to their backs.
Not to mention that the rainy season has not ended yet, and the water flow is very fast, so not many animals dare to go into the water at this time.
This river was originally their only entrance and exit.
There was a cliff wall on one side of the canyon and a steep cliff on the other side, which could not be another route for them.
Sure enough, there is no absolutely perfect place in this world.
They are now blocked from their only entrance and exit, and judging by the amount of rain and the flooding of the river, even after the rainy season ends, the water won't recede anytime soon. This means they are trapped here not only during the rainy season, but also during the winter, making it difficult to escape.
And their food is only enough for the rainy season.
No wonder, no wonder that cave is so good, but no large animal is interested in making a nest there. It’s not just because the passage is narrow and the cave is too hidden, but also because of this fatal flaw.
Ye Zhizhi's mind suddenly went blank, and his pupils only reflected the surging flood.
Yin Yi walked down from the rocks and circled at the edge of the flood.
The rushing flood roared and roared, deafening, and the turbid water rolled. Even though Yin Yi had learned to swim, he instinctively did not dare to walk into such a current easily.
No matter whether it is humans or animals, they are ultimately no match for the power of nature.
On the contrary, Xiaohua can swim for a long time. The deep water underground is relatively calm. They can swim flexibly along the water flow and avoid dangers in the water. Xiaohua once took Ye Zhizhi to swim in a similar flood.
Ye Zhizhi was a little panicked for a moment. Although the prey they hunted could allow them to survive the rainy season, no matter how frugal they were, they could not eat it all through the winter, not to mention that they had not restricted their diet before and had already consumed half of the food.
According to Ye Zhizhi's judgment, the river will become deeper in the near future and will spread further into the canyon.
Ye Zhizhi did not discover the crisis in time.
But she quickly calmed down.
If Yinyi and the others couldn't go out hunting to store winter food, then she would have to ask Xiaohua and Damo for help.
Let them take her out hunting, and then help transport the prey and water back.
There are always more solutions than problems.
Ye Zhizhi had an idea in mind, so he stopped panicking and wandered around.
In this case, she could only find a way to open up another path.
She thought about what to do.
Ye Zhizhi looked up at the arched cave ceiling. Above it was a mountain range that stretched across the canyon. Because climbing was difficult, she had not thought about climbing up.
Now, she wants to go up and take a look.
