245 Back to the Jungle
◎Yin Yi poked his head out and looked around curiously.◎
Ye Zhizhi said that she had forgotten something, and only then did she realize that she had forgotten Qin Fei.
But in just a moment, Yin Yi had already run a long way with her.
Ye Zhizhi: “…” Since I’ve already left, forget it.
Now she didn't know what to say when she went back. She also wanted the wolves to stay away from humans. Humans have so many thoughts, and simple animals would definitely be easily deceived. Even against Qin Fei, she still remained a little wary.
This place is too special, and she doesn't dare to gamble on human nature.
Yin Yi carried Ye Zhizhi on his back through the jungle, over the rocks in the mountain stream, and stopped when he reached an open high ground.
Yin Yi turned around and paced back and forth, letting out a howl. After he had run far away, he remembered that he had forgotten the wolf girl's prey. He didn't know if it was too late to go back and whether it had been taken away by other predators.
Yin Yi asked Ye Zhizhi whether he would go back to look for prey.
Ye Zhizhi then realized that Yin Yi also regarded Qin Fei as her prey. That was fine. She didn't eat humans, nor did she allow the animals she knew to eat humans.
Ye Zhizhi made a sound to express his departure, and a look of regret flashed across Yin Yi's beastly eyes. It was a very fragrant prey, and he hadn't eaten it yet. If he had known that the wolf girl didn't want it, he would have swallowed it directly to taste it.
But now the wolf girl is leaving, and it has no choice but to give up with regret.
Yin Yi followed Ye Zhizhi's instructions and ran in one direction.
Ye Zhizhi did not let Yin Yi take her into the jungle immediately, but went to the cave where she had stayed before.
She also hid something there, ready to show it to the wolves.
Their current location was not far from there, and Yin ran non-stop for a moment and arrived at noon the next day.
After not being here for several years, the vegetation inside and outside the cave has become more lush. The animals living in the cave sensed the presence of Ye Zhizhi and Yin Yi, and ran away in panic early, scattering completely.
Ye Zhizhi jumped off the wolf's back, walked in front, and entered the cave first.
Yin followed closely behind.
More plants grew on the ground and walls of the cave, making the space seem even darker and smaller, and filled with a strong, mixed smell. Ye Zhizhi had smelled a lot of messy and strong smells in human society over the years, so he remained calm at this moment. However, Yin Yi tilted his head back and sneezed, obviously not used to the smell.
Ye Zhizhi found a corner where the rocks were piled up, which was covered with vines and moss. She took a look, took out a dagger from her body, and inserted it directly into the pile to pry open the rocks.
Yin Yi watched Ye Zhizhi's actions from the side, stretched out his two front paws and dug, and in a few strokes he reached the bottom. His sharp claws scratched something unknown, making a sharp sound.
Ye Zhizhi quickly called a halt.
She leaned over slightly, reached in with both hands, and soon pulled out a special metal box and a gun.
After being buried for so many years, the surface was still extremely smooth, with no signs of rust at all. She patted it and the dirt on it fell off.
Yin poked his head out and looked around curiously.
Ye Zhizhi stepped back and handed the things to Yin Yi, asking it to take a closer look at them and stay away from them.
Ye Zhizhi took a look and saw that where Yin Yi's claws had scraped, only a faint mark was left. It was quite strong. Perhaps humans had materials that could trap them, so they had to stay away from these boxes.
As for this gun, I don’t know if it can still be used. There are only two bullets in it, and I still have many companions to teach, so I’d better save my energy for now.
Ye Zhizhi didn’t know whether humans had made any further improvements to this weapon. Maybe she could still find some more.
Yin Yi leaned forward and sniffed it. It had a strange, cold smell and was not edible, so he looked away without interest.
But she had already come in quite late, and any further delay would have been too hasty.
After Ye Zhizhi got the things, he asked Yin Yi to leave.
If Yin Yi came out alone as a wolf, there must be a safer and faster way. Ye Zhizhi planned to let Yin Yi lead the way and not interfere.
Ye Zhizhi was still thinking about Da Mo. She had discovered that Da Mo was the place most easily accessible to humans. It was obviously very close to the central area of the jungle, but there were the most human corpses there.
Ye Zhizhi was worried.
Yin Yi and Ye Zhizhi had been to Da Mo's territory and knew where it was. After hearing what Ye Zhizhi meant, Yin Yi carried it on his back and ran.
Yin Yi is the same age as Ye Zhizhi, already twenty-one years old. He is still in his prime, and his endurance and physical fitness are at their peak. He is now more powerful than before. Ye Zhizhi is very sure that he can't beat him now.
Although she maintained basic exercise during those years outside, she did not take any physical action because she was in a peaceful environment. It was good enough that she could not regress, while Yin Yi was constantly improving.
Yin Yi ran very steadily and quickly, and he did not go through the dangerous mountains, but took a more rugged and steep, but less dangerous path.
In just ten days, they entered the inner area of the forest and ran towards Da Mo's territory.
Before Ye Zhizhi stepped into Da Mo's territory, he smelled the scent of two snakes. This was the mark they left behind, declaring that this was the territory of the giant python.
She was still wondering if Xiaohua was still here. Now, even before she saw the snake, she knew that this territory was shared by them, and it was even more vast than the previous territory. They must have formed a partnership.
Ye Zhizhi felt sad because Xiaohua was kidnapped without her knowing.
Before Ye Zhizhi could process her emotions, she heard a hissing sound. Ye Zhizhi looked up and saw two giant pythons, one black and one spotted, almost becoming a shadow, shuttling across the scorched earth.
“Hiss—”
The two snakes noticed Ye Zhizhi and Yin as soon as they stepped into their territory, and they slithered over at the fastest speed.
“His ...
Xiaohua's snake tongue moved in and out so quickly that it almost became a shadow, and the frequency of the sound was rapid, which showed how excited it was.
Xiaohua hadn't seen Ye Zhizhi for many winters. She thought about it for a long time. If Da Mo didn't need her care, she would have crawled out to find her cubs.
Xiaohua's thick snake body wrapped around Ye Zhizhi, and the snake head kept rubbing against him, but it didn't wrap around him a few times before it reached the end.
Ye Zhizhi, with only his head exposed: "..." He felt Xiaohua's suffocating love, really suffocating.
Yin Yi, who was standing by, took a look, swung his tail and jumped onto the pile of rocks and soil, then lay down and looked down very calmly.
Ye Zhizhi tried hard to prop up her hands, making a hissing sound. Xiaohua hissed in response, and the snake's body loosened slightly, giving her hands room to move.
She touched Xiaohua's smooth snake scales and rubbed them actively, and her cheeks felt cold.
Xiao Hua was well-maintained, her scales glossy, her tail resting somewhere raised, swaying merrily, her whole body radiating a sense of joy. Years later, her temperament hadn't changed at all; she was still the carefree little python she once was.
Xiaohua takes good care of herself, and Damo also contributes to this.
Ye Zhizhi turned her head to look at Da Mo, who seemed as invisible as ever, and glanced at its pitch-black snake body, especially the places where it had been injured. There were still obvious scars when she left, but now, they were completely invisible.
Ye Zhizhi coaxed Xiaohua for a long time before Xiaohua was willing to let go of Ye Zhizhi, but the snake head was still tightly attached.
The climate in the area with sparse vegetation and full of wind and sand is also very dry. It is not good to stay on the ground for a long time. Ye Zhizhi expressed his intention to return to the nest. Xiaohua circled around Ye Zhizhi and lowered her snake body.
Ye Zhizhi sat on it.
Flower hissed happily, then meandered away quickly.
Da Mo followed silently beside him.
Yin stood up, shook his fur, then jumped forward and quickly caught up.
Ye Zhizhi followed Xiaohua into the underground nest, and the temperature became cooler.
In this area, the underground world is more lively. She has not yet walked through all the underground passages that extend in all directions.
Yin Yi's body is very huge, and he can't enter any place that is slightly narrow. However, there are also many very wide passages. This is Da Mo's territory. As long as Da Mo allows him to enter, there will be basically no danger.
Yin Yi slowly found the way in, but it didn't take long. Soon it came in with its tail swung, and then lay in the corner, keeping a distance from the two snakes.
The place was filled with the scent of giant pythons, which were very aggressive, but they knew each other and had accepted each other's existence long ago. They could still tolerate each other's smell, but their instinct was to stay as far away as possible.
Ye Zhizhi naturally smelled Xiaohua's scent in this nest that looked like an underground palace, and she couldn't stay there for a while, so she felt jealous.
In her heart, Xiaohua is still young.
But looking at Xiaohua's lively appearance, you can tell that she is living a good life and has not suffered any grievances.
This is also good. After Ye Zhizhi felt sad, he was also happy for Xiaohua.
She knew best that Xiaohua didn't like being alone. Now that it had Da Mo, a fellow snake, to accompany it, she no longer had to worry about Xiaohua being depressed when she was away. It was no longer a lonely snake.
Ye Zhizhi sat on Xiaohua's body, and from time to time he raised his hand to touch the head of the snake that Xiaohua approached, and they hissed at each other in a realistic manner.
Ye Zhizhi: How are you doing? Have any humans appeared? Are you all safe?
Xiaohua: I miss my cub, I miss my cub, I miss my cub.
Although it seemed like they were talking at cross purposes, they were still chatting animatedly.
Ye Zhizhi stayed in the underground nest for a while, and Xiaohua excitedly carried her on her back through the underground passage, taking her to patrol the new territory.
Ye Zhizhi and Xiaohua also ran to the underground river to take a bath and changed into new snakeskin clothes.
Xiaohua shed a lot of skin and kept it all, waiting to give it to Ye Zhizhi.
In his spare time, Ye Zhizhi specially learned how to use pieces of cloth to make clothes without any needle and thread. The snakeskin clothes he made now are no longer rough and casual, but very close-fitting and look very stylish.
She washed and dried the human clothes she had brought with her and put them back into her backpack so she could wear them again when she returned.
Then continue to drill holes with Xiaohua.
Both she and Xiaohua have grown much bigger. She is an adult now and can no longer be as small as when she was a child and can drill everywhere. She can no longer fit into many holes.
Ye Zhizhi looked at the dark little hole that led to nowhere, feeling regretful.
