282 Jinjiang Exclusive
◎A short response came from Yinyi's throat.◎
The rising full moon is cold and clear, and the sudden night wind is chilly.
The aura of the monster lingered domineeringly in the area. The forest was as silent as death. Apart from the existence of the monster, the only noise was made by Ye Zhizhi.
They ran one after the other for a long time, and it would take some time for them to go back the same way.
Now even if Ye Zhizhi tried his best, he couldn't catch up with the monster.
She jumped onto the branches of the towering ancient tree and raised her head to meet the rising disc.
“Ouch—woo—”
The howl of the wolf king echoed in the mountains and forests, full of majesty, deterrence and expulsion.
Her behavior under the nose of the big monster that has already occupied its territory is tantamount to provocation.
The monster's roar was filled with anger and murderous intent, but despite this, it did not turn back to cause trouble for Ye Zhizhi, and continued to run forward.
However, the emotion in the cry clearly showed that it was threatening Ye Zhizhi to wait, as it would not let her go.
Ye Zhizhi was naturally not afraid, she continued to follow behind.
At this time, the moon was high in the sky and the moonlight was bright.
Yin Yi and his companions, who had run to the top of the cliff while Ye Zhizhi was leading the monster away, inevitably bumped into the monster that was trampling on people without any care.
The two snakes moved silently, and Yinyi and Daxiong's targets were too conspicuous. Although there were many places to hide on the top of the cliff, they were attacked indiscriminately and finally revealed their tracks.
When Ye Zhizhi ran up, a wolf, a bear and a snake were fighting with the monster.
No one knew where Da Mo was hiding, and even Ye Zhizhi couldn't find any trace of him.
As soon as Ye Zhizhi appeared, he attracted the monster's greatest hatred.
The anger that was previously provoked by Ye Zhizhi now had room to vent.
Yin Yi and the others' pressure was reduced a lot, so they surrounded and interfered from the side. They cooperated very well and inflicted a lot of wounds on the monster.
Despite this, the hatred value could not be pulled over.
Ye Zhizhi dodged and tried several times to lead the monster away from the top of the mountain, but was unknowingly led away for a distance.
Until the moon reaches its zenith.
The monster that had been chasing Ye Zhizhi stopped, looked up at the full moon above its head, roared angrily, then turned around, took a step forward, and ran to the top of the mountain.
Ye Zhizhi and his companions, who were originally more defensive than offensive, instantly switched to offensive, pouncing on the monster that was several times their size with their fangs and sharp teeth.
Ye Zhizhi ran forward, suddenly jumped, and then landed accurately on the back of Yin Yi, who also jumped up and froze in mid-air. Using the force, he bent over and jumped, landing on the back of the galloping monster. The sharp dagger half an arm long in his hand stabbed into the scars on the thick scales that were opened by the claws.
Bright red blood splattered out, and the monster roared in pain, suddenly rolling sideways. Fortunately, Ye Zhizhi ran away in time and was not crushed into a pulp.
The monster failed to hit the target and did not linger, but continued to rush to the top of the mountain.
However, after running only two steps, its speed slowed down. It turned out that Xiaohua found the opportunity, and the thick and long snake tail wrapped around the monster's left hind leg, and pulled it in the opposite direction with a hissing sound.
Yin Yi also found the right opportunity, stabbed his sharp fangs into his right hind leg, and tore off a piece of flesh.
"roar--"
They were stopping him from going to the top of the mountain. He realized that if he didn't compete with these presumptuous prey for the precious flower and didn't get rid of them, he wouldn't be able to go up and roar. The monster no longer rushed forward, but roared angrily and pounced on Xiaohua and Yinyi behind him.
The wolf and the snake retreated cleanly and neatly. Although they were swept away, Ye Zhizhi and Linglong attacked in time and quickly interfered.
The full moon hanging high above our heads became brighter and brighter, illuminating the fight between beasts on the ground.
After the tireless attacks, both Ye Zhizhi and her companions suffered more and more wounds, and looked miserable, but they were all external injuries and did not affect the intensity of their attacks.
On the contrary, the monster looked even more miserable and its movements began to become slow.
Ye Zhizhi's eyes were very bright, and she felt happy, it worked!
Her research over the years has yielded many results, including a lot of drugs with mixed effects. Of course, the medicine on her dagger is not something highly toxic, but something that can paralyze and make animals sleepy.
After all, she had learned a lot about science. Many animals in the jungle were protected species, and these monsters were even rarer. Killing one meant killing one less, and she worried they might become extinct one day. So, she didn't want the blood of these rare animals on her hands.
Although conflicts are difficult to avoid.
The monster was very large, and the effect of the medicine was not obvious, so it failed to knock it down, but it affected its movements. Ye Zhizhi found an opportunity and made a few shallow cuts on it. The monster, which had originally had the upper hand, gradually fell into a disadvantage.
At this time, the number of wounds on the bodies of Ye Zhizhi, Yin Yi and other friends decreased.
Before he knew it, a long time had passed, and Xiaohua's hissing voice suddenly became louder and full of excitement.
Ye Zhizhi listened carefully again and suddenly caught Da Mo's brief hissing sound from afar.
Da Mo succeeded!
Ye Zhizhi's eyes became brighter. At that moment, the moonlight in the sky was not as bright as her eyes. She let out a loud cry and announced her retreat without any hesitation.
As Ye Zhizhi ran, Yinyi, Xiaohua and Linglong also turned around and ran, suddenly rushing into the dark jungle and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The monster chased them for a while, but they ran in different directions. It couldn't catch up with any of them, so it had to give up unwillingly. It looked up at the full moon, turned around and quickly rushed to the top of the mountain.
Not long after, Ye Zhizhi, who had already run a long way, heard the monster's angry roar.
It found that the treasure had been stolen again.
Ye Zhizhi guessed that it would not give up, and the effect of the medicine could not stop its steps for long, so he ran with all his strength without stopping for a moment.
She didn't run towards the wolf's habitat, but ran in the other direction.
Ye Zhizhi kept running until the moon's shadow shifted and the full moon disappeared in the night. After a moment of darkness before dawn, it slowly turned into a pale blue. Soon after, the sky turned pale.
Nocturnal animals have disappeared, and birds in the crowns of ancient trees have woken up.
Ye Zhizhi's pace slowed down, and a giant silver wolf appeared silently beside her.
She turned her head and screamed, confirming with Yin Yi, "The other party didn't catch up with her, right?"
A short response came from Yinyi's throat.
Ye Zhizhi was immediately relieved.
She and Yinyi jogged for a while, then stopped beside a quiet river.
Ye Zhizhi then carefully examined the wounds on Yin Yi's body. There were several wounds on its back and hind legs. Some of the wounds were quite deep. The flesh and blood were rolling around, and the surrounding hair was solidified into clumps by the blood.
Ye Zhizhi felt extremely distressed and quickly helped clean the wound, then sprinkled the medicine powder he carried with him.
While she was helping Yin Yi treat his wound, a huge snake head suddenly emerged from the river, splashing water.
Ye Zhizhi was not scared. He turned around and raised his hand to call Xiaohua over.
Xiaohua shook herself off, swam ashore quickly, and put the wounded part of her body where scales had fallen off in front of Ye Zhizhi, hissing weakly: Xiaohua is also injured.
Yin, who was pushed aside, turned his head and glanced at Xiaohua lightly, then swung his tail and jumped onto a huge rock not far away. Knowing his position in the wolf girl's heart, he no longer bothered to compete for favor with the childish snake.
Ye Zhizhi treated Xiaohua's wound and touched her soothingly.
Not long after, Linglong, who had run farther, also gathered together. She stood in front of Ye Zhizhi very consciously and lay down obediently to let Ye Zhizhi treat her wounds.
After Ye Zhizhi had applied the medicine to all his friends' wounds, he casually treated his own wounds, then turned to look at Da Mo who appeared silently.
Da Mo's snake head stood in front of Ye Zhizhi, and it opened its mouth wide under her expectant gaze.
Ye Zhizhi leaned over to take a look, raised his hand and reached in. When he came out, he was holding a flower that exuded a faint fragrance. The moon-white petals were very beautiful even in the dim light.
Xiaohua and Linglong looked at it with envy, as this flower was very attractive to animals. However, they controlled their predatory instincts and just watched.
Ye Zhizhi had to put the things away quickly, not caring about the little bit of saliva on them from Da Mo, and put them directly into a rectangular box she brought with her in her backpack. Then she stuffed it into a snakeskin bag, tied it tightly, and put it in her backpack.
Ye Zhizhi's plan was not sudden. She had thought about it for a long time. So when she entered the jungle this time, she specially brought a box made of special materials developed by the research institute. It can protect the plants to a certain extent and can also isolate the smell so that she will not be attacked by predators who catch the smell when carrying it on her body.
The temptation of the flowers disappeared, and Xiaohua and Linglong returned to normal.
After Ye Zhizhi put it away, she was still a little worried. She didn't know how long the flowers could be preserved. As far as she knew, three to five days would be fine and they would still look like they were just picked. But she didn't want them to stay for just a few days, at least one or two months.
After much deliberation, Ye Zhizhi decided to turn back to the nest. She didn't need a whole flower for research, so she wanted to give the flower to her wolf father and mother to eat, and only keep two petals and leaf stems for herself.
However, in order to avoid leading the monster to the canyon territory, Ye Zhizhi made a special disguise, and Yin Yi Xiaohua and the others also disguised themselves.
Ye Zhizhi knew that she had caused great hatred. This was the second time she had snatched the flower from the monster's mouth, but if a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. This was not the time to be humble.
They camouflaged themselves well, isolated their own scent, and with their own stealth abilities, they took a long detour before returning to the wolf pack's lair.
When the wolves sensed Ye Zhizhi and Yin Yi's return, they reacted with surprise and confusion. Why was this year so unusual? Usually, Ye Zhizhi wouldn't return until the following spring after leaving their territory, and Yin Yi and the others would return before the rainy season began. Why had they returned within a few days this time?
Ye Zhizhi had no intention of answering their questions. She took out the flower, which was preserved in three layers, with a smile on her face and handed it to the wolf mother.
The flowers were still bright and clear, just like the moonlight last night. Silver Wolf looked down, then cast his eyes on Ye Zhizhi.
“Ahhh~”
"Hiss~"
The wolf and snake cubs, who had little self-control, immediately circled around Ye Zhizhi, calling out in longing.
Ye Zhizhi looked down at the wolf cub and the snake cub, then turned to look at Uncle Scar and the others.
It suddenly had an idea. It wondered if soaking it in water and boiling it would affect the effect.
In order to verify this idea, Ye Zhizhi simply hardened his heart, picked a petal, and put it in a pot of water to boil.
Ye Zhizhi squatted aside. As the water vapor rose, the unique fragrance of the petals spread, which made people feel refreshed.
The wolf cubs and snake cubs circled around her and the fire, howling and hissing, their eyes anxious.
The adult wolves either lay down or stood aside. They had good self-control. Although their eyes were greedy, they were very steady.
Ye Zhizhi didn't need to judge for herself, she only needed to look at their reactions to know that the effect of the petals was not destroyed.
The water boiled from just one petal was not much, so Ye Zhizhi drank a sip to feel it for himself, and let the rest cool down before the young snake and wolf licked it.
They drank without raising their heads, their tails wagging wildly.
Needless to say, Ye Zhizhi was very happy. Every time she found some good things and there were not enough to share, Ye Zhizhi would give them to her wolf mom and wolf dad first. Uncle Scar and the others could get some, but not much.
Over time, Ye Zhizhi herself still felt very uncomfortable, as these were the elders she had been close to since childhood...
Now it can be boiled in water. Even if the effect is not as good as eating it raw, at least the elders can take a big sip.
Ye Zhizhi kept two petals and put them back in the box, then happily boiled water with the petals.
Ye Zhizhi didn't know how many times she had boiled the petals, so she just brewed them like tea. She repeated the process three times, and after each animal had drunk a lot of them, she stuffed the petals, which had almost no taste, into the mouths of the wolf mother and wolf father, making sure not to waste any of them.
This also gave Ye Zhizhi an idea. Maybe if he found something good in the future, he could find a way to process it?
