142 Wilderness Survival
◎She is so amazing!◎
The green fruit looked unripe, so Ye Zhizhi didn't pick it immediately. Instead, he turned around to look at Xiaohua and the centipede who were still fighting.
The giant centipede tried to move towards this side several times, but was entangled by Xiaohua and moved further away.
Ye Zhizhi turned around and continued to observe the fruits.
In just a moment, the green skin gradually turned green and yellow. Judging from the situation, it will be fully ripe soon.
Every time Ye Zhizhi saw these amazing species, he would marvel for a long time, feeling that he was ignorant. Only in this ancient and mysterious forest could so many amazing creatures be born.
Ye Zhizhi could see that Xiaohua could completely restrain the giant centipede, so she focused most of her attention on what was in front of her, but while she was staring at the fruit, she did not forget to pay attention to the surrounding environment.
Anything could happen before the fruits are picked.
Under Ye Zhizhi's watchful eyes, the color of the fruits turned golden yellow, and she smelled a stronger fruity fragrance.
Ye Zhizhi's eyes lit up, these fruits are ripe!
So she raised her hand and was about to pick them.
However, before Ye Zhizhi's hand touched the fruit, his body's instinct was faster than his brain, and he quickly dodged to the side.
Ye Zhizhi turned around, and at some point, a monster with a mouth like pliers appeared behind her. The sharp pliers appeared where Ye Zhizhi had just been, and the huge bite made a harsh sound.
It is conceivable that if Ye Zhizhi had not dodged quickly, she would have been bitten in two.
Ye Zhizhi and Xiaohua wanted to reap the benefits, and some animals also thought the same.
This monster was not much bigger than her. It must have hidden under the tree roots long ago. Its hiding ability was even more amazing. There was still some mud in the gaps between its scales, which showed that it was obviously hiding in the soil.
Now that it’s the final moment of the snatch, I can’t help but show up.
Ye Zhizhi grabbed the hollow of the tree trunk with one hand and held a dagger in the other.
She couldn't retreat, because if she did, it would be like handing the fruit over to someone else.
Ye Zhizhi attacked immediately.
The little monster was entangled by Ye Zhizhi and couldn't even swallow the fruit into his mouth.
Ye Zhizhi's dagger actually had no effect on the monster. The monster had a long and thin tail and its body was covered with scales. She couldn't stab it in the face. Ye Zhizhi could only dodge, try to find other weaknesses, and try to kick it down.
Ye Zhizhi observed the monster's abdomen and eyes. There was also a layer of fine scales on its abdomen. Its eyes were on both sides of the pincers, only the size of beans, and could not be seen unless you looked carefully.
The fragrance of the fruit gradually faded.
Ye Zhizhi didn't know whether the fruit was about to be picked, whether it would fall like the petals, and whether it would be useless after falling. She didn't dare to take the risk and had to make a quick decision.
But this monster is not easy to deal with.
Then a hissing sound came out of her mouth.
When Xiaohua heard Ye Zhizhi's cry, she seemed to understand what it meant, so she loosened her grip on the giant centipede, giving the giant centipede a chance to get rid of Xiaohua, and then crawled over quickly without hesitation.
Countless legs rubbed against the tree trunk quickly, making a heart-pounding sound.
Ye Zhizhi noticed the movement of the giant centipede out of the corner of his eye, and used a little trick to make the monster appear in front of the giant centipede.
The giant centipede and the monster were not in the same group. When they met on a narrow road, they naturally started fighting with each other.
Xiaohua also moved over quickly, its huge and thick snake body winding and climbing up from the other end in a blink of an eye. Ye Zhizhi's eyes rolled, thinking that these two creatures probably didn't know that she and Xiaohua were in the same group, so she let out a howl.
Xiaohua had been with Ye Zhizhi for so long that she caught her voice and could tell what it meant, so she immediately attacked Ye Zhizhi.
Ye Zhizhi and Xiaohua started fighting.
The giant centipede seemed to find something wrong, but it didn't have time to think about it. The monster attacked it one after another. It dodged at that moment, giving the monster an opportunity. Its cold pincers clamped the two legs of the giant centipede. With two clicks, the two slender legs were directly cut off.
The giant centipede made a sound of pain and screamed angrily. It ignored its momentary doubt and turned to deal with the monster.
Ye Zhizhi and Xiaohua were fighting in earnest beside the fruit. The giant python's thick and long tail was swinging in the air, casting a nimble and strange shadow in the quiet moonlight.
Ye Zhizhi kept her eyes on the fruits, but the giant centipede and the monster were too close to them. She was sure that once she reached out and touched the fruit, they would attack her together without hesitation.
Ye Zhizhi also paid attention to the giant centipede and the monster that were fighting fiercely. The centipede's poison seemed to have no effect on the monster, and it also had scales to protect its body, so it was unable to do anything to the monster for a while.
When Ye Zhizhi saw the giant centipede's several pairs of legs wrapped around the monster, his eyes lit up. What a good opportunity!
She hissed softly at Xiaohua, and Xiaohua reacted quickly. She raised her thick and long tail high and slapped it over in an instant. Her speed was so fast that it became a shadow. With a sound of breaking through the air, the giant centipede and the monster were knocked off the tree trunk.
Ye Zhizhi immediately turned around, quickly plucked the fruits, put them into a snakeskin bag, and grabbed them with both hands a few times, quickly picking all the fruits.
Then she ran away quickly in the opposite direction, and Xiaohua followed behind, as if chasing her.
The whole process took less than five seconds. Ye Zhizhi jumped and ran flexibly from the tree trunks and branches, and in a blink of an eye he got down from the high place, then ran out desperately.
The giant centipede and the monster that were still fighting reacted and stopped fighting immediately, quickly chasing after Ye Zhizhi.
Xiaohua deliberately fell behind, and when the giant centipede and monsters caught up with her, she deliberately hit one while running after them, focusing on hitting one to hold them back.
As a result, the distance between Ye Zhizhi and them became larger and larger, and in a blink of an eye, he could no longer see the cubs who picked the fruits.
The giant centipede and the monster hissed and started fighting with Xiaohua. After a while, Xiaohua pretended to be defeated and crawled away quickly with a hiss.
The giant centipede and the monster roared angrily. They wanted to deal with the giant python, but the cub that snatched the fruit ran farther and farther away. They could only let it go and quickly chase after it by following the cub's scent.
While running, Ye Zhizhi tied the opening of the snakeskin bag tightly, then wrapped it with another layer of snakeskin and tied it around his waist.
While she was running, there were also predators lingering nearby, hoping to find a way to catch them.
Ye Zhizhi's main focus at this stage is to get rid of the pursuit. She is too lazy to get entangled with these predators. When running, she keeps her eyes and ears open, trying to avoid them if possible. If she can't avoid them, she won't fight them. After dodging, she will continue running.
This way, there will be more predators chasing after them.
Ye Zhizhi ran in the direction where she had originally been looking for a way out. She had been there once and knew the situation of the nearby road, so she naturally knew where to go to escape being tracked.
After Ye Zhizhi noticed that those following him were basically land animals, he consciously ran towards the mountain canyon and then dived into the seemingly calm river.
Ye Zhizhi had fished in this river before and knew that there were no piranhas here. Although it was a bit dangerous, Ye Zhizhi was capable of handling it.
When Ye Zhizhi jumped into the river, he disappeared in an instant, leaving only a layer of blood on the water surface, which quickly dissolved and was diluted by the water.
The bloodstains on her body were basically not her own. They were all collected when she was hiding, turning her into a little bloody person. Now, as soon as she jumped into the water, she was washed away by the water.
Ye Zhizhi did not stay where he was, but swam quickly to the opposite side. When he got up, he continued to run forward.
The predators that caught up one after another, those who couldn't swim wandered on the shore, observing how to cross the river, while those who could swim swam directly into the water.
However, water can block smells, and when the giant centipedes discovered Ye Zhizhi, her whole body was covered with the smell of the predator's blood, and she could not smell her own scent. The running water washed away the bloody smell on Ye Zhizhi's body, and there was a river bank between them. Slowly, they could no longer smell the scent of the cub and completely lost track of her.
The giant centipede was furious. They were so powerful fighting for the throne of the jungle, but in the end, the fruit was picked away by a little cub!
It was supposed to be it!
Damn you cub! Damn you python!
The giant centipede realized belatedly that the python and the cub were from the same group, but they were obviously not of the same species, their auras were completely different, and they pretended to fight in front of them to mislead them.
Unable to find its cubs, the giant centipede wanted to go back and look for the giant python, but after such a long time, the giant python had already escaped and disappeared without a trace.
Ye Zhizhi was still running in the jungle.
After she got ashore, she could lower her breath and presence and hide her tracks, but this was not safe enough, so Ye Zhizhi ran downwind for a long time.
She slowed down her pace only after she realized that the pursuers behind her were slowly disappearing.
Ye Zhizhi covered his waist tightly with his hands and laughed silently.
Ha ha!
She got it!
Ye Zhizhi walked for a while, walked out of the jungle, and came to another valley.
The sky was clear at this time and everything in the mountains and forests could be seen clearly.
She looked up at the sky, watching the morning sun slowly reveal its true face from the top of the mountain, dyeing the clouds in the sky brilliantly.
Ye Zhizhi couldn't help but run again, as if chasing the sunlight.
“Ouch—”
Ye Zhizhi ran while shouting loudly, venting the nervousness and excitement in his heart.
She had just accomplished something extremely thrilling. She had successfully snatched the magical fruit from the clutches of a group of powerful predators!
Ye Zhizhi replayed every scene of last night in her mind. She was on the edge of danger many times. If she wasn't careful, she would give up halfway, but she finally became the winner!
She is so awesome!
Of course, Xiaohua made an indelible contribution. If it weren't for Xiaohua, she might have paid a greater price.
When Ye Zhizhi was shouting with joy, Xiaohua rushed out from the side of the jungle and quickly crawled towards Ye Zhizhi, screaming.
Ye Zhizhi rushed over with his arms open, hugged Xiaohua's drooping snake head and hissed excitedly.
Xiaohua is also amazing! And she and Xiaohua cooperate very well. If Xiaohua didn't understand what she meant in time, it wouldn't be so smooth!
“Hiss—”
Xiaohua twisted her snake body, exuding a joyful aura.
The cub is awesome, and Xiaohua is awesome too!
After the man and the snake were happy, Ye Zhizhi did not divide the fruit immediately, but prepared to find a safer place first.
She turned around and saw that Xiaohua had lost a lot of scales and had many holes and wounds on her body. Xiaohua had used a lot of strength to entangle other animals, and it was inevitable that she would get injured during the fight.
Ye Zhizhi also had injuries on his body, but they were not as obvious as Xiaohua's.
She wanted to sprinkle some medicine powder on Xiaohua's wound, but——
Ye Zhizhi touched the snake skin wrapped around her waist. The fruit and medicine powder were inside. She was worried that when she opened it, the fragrance of the fruit would spread out and attract other animals, which would cause a fight.
Seeing that Xiaohua's blood hole had stopped bleeding, Ye Zhizhi made up his mind and decided to find a place to stay first.
She looked around. Ye Zhizhi had passed through this jungle not long ago. There was a cave nearby where she had stayed.
So she led the way, hissing at Xiaohua to follow.
Xiaohua twisted its snake body and chased after him happily. It didn't care about the minor injuries on its body and waited happily for Ye Zhizhi to give it the good things.
The cave was not far away. Ye Zhizhi and Xiaohua ran for nearly an hour and reached their destination.
The cave was still not occupied by other animals. When she went in again, it was still the same as when she left.
It was not spacious inside. After Ye Zhizhi went in, Xiaohua crawled in and almost filled the entire cave.
