◎She can definitely do it!◎
The jungle environment remains the same as before, but the most obvious changes are in the animals, young and old, living in this territory.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, the animal group is still the same animal group, as if nothing has changed, but in Ye Zhizhi's eyes, a lot has changed.
The big squirrel and the little squirrel that Ye Zhizhi was once very familiar with were no longer in the tribe, and their scent had disappeared. They lived under the protection of the wolf pack, and they did not lose their lives due to external threats. They died of old age.
Erzhong's wolf father and mother, Dahei's wolf father and mother... They are obviously old. Every year when Ye Zhizhi meets them again, he can always see the traces of time on them.
The young wolf cubs are growing up, and the old wolf is becoming more and more frail.
Ye Zhizhi hugged the elder wolves one by one, and finally hugged the wolf mother.
After the joy of meeting her again, her heart felt heavy. These old wolves had grown up with her. Although Dahei's wolf father and mother were not there from the beginning, they had been in the tribe for many years and had also watched her grow up. They had long been integrated into the tribe.
Perhaps it was because they had a hard time wandering around, that among so many wolves of the same age, they were the most obviously old. Their eyes were cloudy, their hair had become dull, and they looked old overall.
Ye Zhizhi always had a feeling that perhaps within three or two years, they would reach the end of their lives.
Ye Zhizhi hugged the wolf mother tightly, and she finally felt a little bit of reality. She was afraid that when she came back one day, the wolf pack would start to shrink in numbers.
The silver wolf seemed to be able to sense her uneasiness, and it tilted its head to lick Ye Zhizhi's face, gently comforting her.
Ye Zhizhi looked at the silver wolf, leaned close to it, and let out a low howl, "Wolf mom, Wolf dad... everyone, don't leave so early..."
Yin Yi walked forward, swept his thick and soft wolf tail over her, and then turned his head to look at her.
Ye Zhizhi was depressed for a moment, then smiled, "Ah~"
The wolf father lay on the rock, basking in the sun, his eyes fixed on his partner and children, as steady as a rock.
Ye Zhizhi led the wolf pack out for a walk. Wolf father and wolf mother were no longer suitable for going to dangerous places. The forest outside the canyon was the area where the wolf pack moved around. Because they lived in harmony with most of their neighboring predators, they could still go out for a walk even when they were old.
Xiao Yinjiang's generation already has eight wolf cubs, all of whom are very healthy and have potential that is no less than that of their elders. Now is the age for them to go out and venture into the world.
Xiaohua's three baby snakes have grown into sizes as thick as thighs and are nearly three meters long. Their infancy is longer than that of wolves. Their companions who grew up with them are now adults, but they are still juvenile snakes.
Perhaps they were born and lived in the wolf pack's den for a period of time. Later, Xiaohua and Damo took them back to the territory. After they stayed there for a winter, they couldn't wait to beg Xiaohua to take them back to the wolf pack's territory.
They were used to the hustle and bustle of the wolf's territory, where they had a large group of friends to play with. It would be too boring for a family of snakes to be alone in their own huge den.
But Xiaohua and the others didn't indulge her too much. There were many good things in Xiaohua's nest. When the snakes were young, soaking in hot springs and drinking more stalactites were good for them. So after returning to the nest under the escort of the wolves two years ago, they didn't bring the young snakes out until the temperature rose this spring.
Xiaohua and the others arrived at the wolf pack's lair not much earlier than Ye Zhizhi, only five days later.
The lifespan of a python is longer than that of a wolf. Ye Zhizhi guessed that Xiaohua and Damo should be almost as old as their wolf father and mother, but they are still in their peak condition, and even become more powerful with the passage of time.
Ye Zhizhi accompanied the wolf pack for a few days and then decided to go out again to look for treasure.
She didn't bring many companions with her. Apart from Yin Yi, Xiao Hua Damu, she only brought her grown-up niece Ling Long.
Over the years, Ye Zhizhi has not given up looking for good things that are beneficial to the body, and he has not failed every year. However, no matter how good the things are, there are no particularly obvious changes in the bodies of Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom after eating them. It can be said that there is some effect, but not much.
It seems that their bodies have reached a critical point, just like the hot spring water in Xiaohuachaoxue. The effect on the body is very obvious at the beginning, but after soaking for a long time, it has no effect.
The same goes for other treasures. If you eat too much of them, they will have no effect.
If this is the case, then no matter how many good things she finds, it will be useless and she will just waste time. Ye Zhizhi changed her mind. After she found the good things, she should use them for research. She wanted to develop drugs that could allow animals to break through their physical limits and extend their lifespan as much as possible.
This may be a very difficult road, and she doesn't know if it is right for her to do so, but she always feels that she can do it.
This jungle was inherently unscientific, and rumors had long circulated that it held the code to unlock the human immortality gene. She didn't expect immortality, but she could give the wolves a few more decades, ideally allowing them to die together. Was that something she could do?
Ye Zhizhi felt that it would definitely work.
The lifespan of animals in the jungle is at least twice that of their counterparts outside. This means that there must be something that can extend the physical fitness and lifespan of animals. If she can extract it, she can definitely do it.
Ye Zhizhi had been in the jungle for so many years, so it was easy for him to think that the things that caused changes in animals' lifespan and physical condition were rare things that would cause animals to fight over them.
Once, Ye Zhizhi only wanted to let the wolves and her friends eat her directly. She didn't take anything out except the golden liquid in the rhizome. This time, Ye Zhizhi planned to take some of it out for research after finding something good.
As for whether she would be coveted by others after being taken out, she couldn't care less. Given the state of the wolf father and mother, they couldn't wait for many more years.
Ye Zhizhi sat on Yin Yi's back, his thoughts churning wildly.
The scenery on both sides changed rapidly as they rushed towards their destination.
Yin Yi accompanied Ye Zhizhi every year, so he naturally knew what she wanted to do. The place closest to the wolf pack's territory where the treasure once existed was just ahead. When they walked in this direction, they would always take a detour to take a look to see if it had grown again.
Unfortunately not.
This jungle is very large. They have been walking for so many years, but they have not even walked through one-tenth of the central area. It is not that they do not want to go to many places, but many of the creatures here are very dangerous. Often they only sense their existence from a distance and then take a detour to run away.
Most of them have never seen the true face of Mount Lu, and if they see it one day, it would be misfortune and they can only run for their lives.
Apart from such existences, other predators cannot pose much threat to them, so as long as they avoid those existences and pay more attention in their daily lives, there will be no danger.
The place they were going to now was the top of the cliff. This was not their first time there, nor would it be the last.
Ye Zhizhi thought that they would return disappointed again this time, but unexpectedly, as soon as they appeared nearby, they sensed some terrifying existence.
Yinyi's pace slowed down, Xiaohua hissed, and climbed up the giant tree in a winding manner, while Linglong raised his head to smell.
Ye Zhizhi jumped to the side and landed steadily. She walked around and noticed the fresh, large footprints among the dense bushes. She didn't feel scared, but instead smiled with surprise.
These giant monsters seemed to have much better perception abilities than theirs. Usually, they could only notice if something was wrong when the treasure appeared, but these monsters could sense it a few days in advance and follow their instincts.
Ye Zhizhi didn’t know how they sensed it, nor was she curious. She only knew that this time, their trip was not in vain.
The footprints looked very familiar. It should be one of the two monsters that Ye Zhizhi had kidnapped. She had been walking around in the jungle for so many years, but she didn't expect to meet it again in the same place. She wondered if the other one was nearby.
Ye Zhizhi originally wanted to sneak up like he did before, but perhaps because the monster had learned its lesson, it had been patrolling nearby. When it caught a glimpse of Ye Zhizhi's scent, it roared angrily and then stomped around angrily, trying to find Ye Zhizhi's trace.
There was no way to get closer, and Ye Zhizhi could only run further and further away: "..."
This monster holds such a grudge? After all these years, it still remembers her breath... The previous method didn't work, so Ye Zhizhi had to think of another way.
Since this monster has appeared near the top of the mountain, it means that the flower will bloom in the next two days, no later than three days.
She couldn't get close, but she could increase the monster's hatred value. Ye Zhizhi then asked Yin Yi and Xiao Hua to lurk nearby and look for an opportunity to go up, and she was responsible for leading the monster away.
After running down the mountain for a distance, Ye Zhizhi waited until dusk before deliberately revealing her presence. Sure enough, the monster sensed her presence and immediately chased after her.
The steps were so fast and heavy that Ye Zhizhi felt the tremors under his feet.
Ye Zhizhi shuttled through the dim jungle and ran forward quickly. The monster behind him was chasing closely and the distance was getting closer and closer.
Angry roars sounded from time to time. Ye Zhizhi judged that the monster was approaching her from the vibration under her feet and the distance of the roars.
Ye Zhizhi didn't even turn his head, and his feet were moving fast.
She had been here several times over the years and was very familiar with the mountain environment. She specifically ran to the complex terrain and barely maintained a safe distance.
This tug-of-war lasted for a long time, until night fell, everything around became very dark, and Ye Zhizhi's figure became a vague shadow.
However, both Ye Zhizhi and the monster behind him relied on their senses such as hearing and smell to run, and were not affected by light at all.
The monster kept chasing him for a long time and its roars became more angry and impatient. Ye Zhizhi analyzed that the monster's patience was running out, so he deliberately slowed down his pace to make the monster think that it would catch up soon.
Ye Zhizhi followed the monster until the full moon came out, and its light shone into the jungle and fell into the monster's eyes.
The monster suddenly stopped, looked up at the sky, and howled angrily a few times. In the darkness, the entire forest was shaking.
After roaring, the monster gave up chasing Ye Zhizhi, turned around and ran in the direction it came from.
Ye Zhizhi noticed the monster's movement, she stopped and looked back. Under the moonlight, the monster's outline was moving away.
Ye Zhizhi immediately turned around and ran after the monster, making all kinds of noises to lure the monster in front to turn its attention to her again.
The monster was not completely taken over by anger. It looked back for a moment, and without even struggling, chose to continue running back.
Ye Zhizhi also tried his best to chase after him.
Yinyi, they're still up there! They might run into monsters.
