64 Wilderness Survival
◎A pair of huge beast eyes slowly opened.◎
Ye Zhizhi performed again, but the wolves still didn't react, just staring at her. However—
The look in her eyes when she looked into them was not exactly the same as the expressions of the adult wolves watching the excitement, but it was very similar. At least they regarded her as a part of the excitement.
Ye Zhizhi was not angry about this. She had been surrounded by people watching the fun many times since she was a child and had long been used to it.
Now that the wolves understood what she meant, the top priority now was how to lure the prey here.
Ye Zhizhi felt that the prey was not prepared at first. They had never seen this kind of routine before, so they would definitely be able to succeed. Of course, the prerequisite was that they found the prey first.
Ye Zhizhi and the wolves wandered in the jungle, looking for prey.
They gained nothing today.
Ye Zhizhi was not discouraged. He returned to his nest in the evening, ready to recharge his energy and continue tomorrow.
Although wolves are nocturnal animals, Ye Zhizhi is still used to resting at night and working during the day. The wolf pack has no objection and cooperates with Ye Zhizhi's schedule.
Ye Zhizhi collected the herbs that were drying outside and prepared to make medicinal powder after they were completely dried.
In any case, it is safer to carry herbs with you.
She nibbled on the salty leaves to satisfy her hunger.
For so long, she still hasn't found any edible fruit. She finally saw a fruit on a tree being eaten by birds, but after she picked it, she instinctively felt that it was not edible. She smelled it and always felt that the flesh had a strange taste.
As soon as Yin saw the fruit in her hand, he swept it away with his tail.
Ye Zhizhi knew that this thing was not edible.
It seems that simply judging whether a plant is poisonous or not based on whether it is edible to animals is not entirely accurate.
Some poisonous fruits can be eaten by animals, but she cannot.
Fortunately, she was cautious and did not put it into her mouth immediately.
Now it seems that Ye Zhizhi seems to have acquired some of the wolves' skills in judging whether a plant is poisonous.
Generally speaking, it still depends on the sense of smell. Many times, poisonous plants themselves will emit a special smell, and there are very few that are truly colorless and odorless.
For animals with a particularly developed sense of smell, the fact that plants are colorless and odorless is itself an anomaly.
What's more, the genetic instincts passed down from generation to generation allow them to distinguish which plants have harmless smells.
Ye Zhizhi is now moving closer to the survival skills and instincts of animals and is slowly being assimilated into the jungle.
However, Ye Zhizhi didn't know this. She was very happy that the more skills she had, the easier it would be to live in the jungle.
Having said that, since she couldn't find anything to eat, Ye Zhizhi could only chew on the leaves of the green thorn vine to fill her stomach. This plant with a slightly salty taste could also help her body maintain a certain amount of energy. She felt that it was more effective than fruit and could also quench her thirst.
She looked at her half-dried firewood. The humidity in this jungle was heavier, making it harder to dry than in the nest.
Thinking of the nest, Ye Zhizhi thought of her mother and father, the wolf king. She didn't know what was happening to them. Before she knew it, they had been out for more than three months. She wondered if her mother missed her. She did.
Ye Zhizhi turned her head to look, then hugged Yin and rubbed him. Only Brother Wolf, whose hair was similar to that of Wolf Mother, could give her some comfort.
Yin Yi looked down at the wolf sister who had suddenly become so clingy. Although he didn't know why, he was very happy because the wolf sister rarely acted like this with him. His fluffy wolf tail stood up and shook.
Ye Zhizhi hugged Yin and thought, they would stay here for a while and then they would start their journey back.
They also have to prepare food before the rainy season and store it for the winter.
In another ten days or half a month, Yin Yi and the others' injuries will be completely healed, and that will be almost the end.
Ye Zhizhi planned the itinerary and then had a good sleep holding Yin Yi.
The next day, Ye Zhizhi led the wolf pack to the area where the python had eaten the wild boar at dawn.
Ye Zhizhi still wanted to catch a wild boar.
She thought to herself that if she could catch the wild boar, she would have to start a fire.
Pick a piece of meat that's both fat and lean, season it with the salty flavor of vine leaves, and grill it, and it'll sizzle...
Ye Zhizhi wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and stared at the nearby bushes with bright eyes.
Wild boar, wild boar is coming.
Ye Zhizhi muttered silently in her heart, and God seemed to hear her call and threw a ferocious beast to her.
...But the signal reception wasn't very good, and instead of the wild boar, a ferocious beast that mistook them for prey appeared.
This beast was bald and had two sharp horns and a short tail on its head, and a mouth full of fangs.
It was bigger than Yin Yi. After Ye Zhizhi and the wolf pack tested its strength, it immediately ran into the jungle.
The beast immediately chased after it, and the prey it chose was Silver Gray, the second weakest one. The weakest one was too small to fill the gap between its teeth, so it was ignored.
Silver Gray may have had a lot of experience in escaping, so unlike the last time when he was chased by the giant eagle and was in a panic, this time he ran very steadily beside Ye Zhizhi, occasionally darting left and right to avoid attacks. His series of movements were very smooth.
Silver One and Brown Two were running behind, rushing forward and attacking with one claw from time to time.
Unlike the one-sided hunting in Chaoxue, here, it is more of a mutual hunting, and the losing party becomes the other party's food.
The beast had rich hunting experience and did not become enraged or lose its mind or change its target due to other interferences. It followed Yin Xiaohui unwaveringly.
Soon they ran near the trap.
Ye Zhizhi was still worried that Yin Xiaohui didn't know how to lure the beast into the trap, but he didn't expect that Yin Xiaohui pretended to be defeated when he ran to the trap and slowed down.
Seeing the opportunity, the beast suddenly accelerated and rushed forward, while Yin Xiaohui dodged to the side at the same time.
The beast was about to turn the corner, but it was standing on the edge of a deep pit. One of its feet sank into the pit. It struggled and was about to get up when Yin Yi rushed over from behind and knocked it down.
The beast roared, and its huge body rolled down the deep pit, right onto the inverted green thorns laid by Ye Zhizhi.
Almost all the green thorns in the deep pit penetrated into the body, and the beast roared even louder in pain.
The wolves did not immediately approach the enraged beast, but stood and walked around the pit.
Seven or eight green thorns pierced the beast's back and one side of its abdomen, and the wounds were bleeding profusely.
The more fragile and fatal wound was the one next to the abdomen. The green thorns had penetrated deeply into it. The beast was injured and did not think about revenge, but ran to the other side, trying to leave.
The wolves sensed each other's intentions, and at Yin Yi's command, they turned around and surrounded the beasts.
Their sharp claws hooked the edges of the beast's wounds, easily digging in and tearing it open further, while their fangs bit a piece of the beast's flesh and refused to let go.
Ye Zhizhi had already jumped onto the beast's back, with the green thorns piercing its neck.
Under the joint efforts of Ye Zhizhi and the wolf pack, the beast finally fell at the cost of some minor injuries.
The wolves immediately started to bite each other.
Silver One naturally occupied the best part, and they ate voraciously.
Ye Zhizhi could understand that such a strong smell of blood would quickly attract big guys, and they should fill their stomachs quickly.
Ye Zhizhi climbed to the top of the tree and looked around, then she discovered the huge monster approaching. It was the monster with black hair all over its body that looked like a rhinoceros that she had seen that day.
When Ye Zhizhi discovered it, it was already very close. She issued a warning and quickly jumped down the tree. When she pounced on Yin Yi's back, they had each bit off a piece of meat and then quickly retreated.
Ye Zhizhi did not forget to turn her head to observe. The monster did not catch up with them, but chose to eat the prey they left behind.
Even though they ate and took away Yin Yi, they only ate less than one-third of it.
Ye Zhizhi was not sure that he and the wolf pack could defeat this silent monster.
He who knows the times is a hero.
There is no need to conflict with other wild animals unless you are hunting.
In this jungle, getting hurt over and over again is dangerous.
After running for a distance, Yinyi and the others quickly finished the piece of meat in their mouths. At this time, their stomachs were already very full.
Today can be considered a victory.
Ye Zhizhi and the wolves returned to the tree hole happily.
Everyone cooperated very well on today's hunting trip, especially Silver Little Gray, who was a great contributor.
Ye Zhizhi didn't expect that they not only understood, but were also so skilled in luring enemies into traps, which shows how smart they are.
It seems that the trap is still useful, but I was lucky today and it just happened to hit the vulnerable part of the prey. If it was stuck in a thick part, the damage would probably not be that great.
Ye Zhizhi reviewed the situation silently, it seemed that more improvements were needed.
After that, they started hunting not only during the day, but also at night. Ye Zhizhi made several traps in different places and continued to improve them.
Even if the beast is slightly stronger than them, they can capture it at the lowest cost.
The only bad thing was that they seemed to be being targeted. The black-haired monster would appear shortly after they successfully hunted and snatch their prey.
It wasn't really robbery. Although the wolves were full, it took up all the rest, as if they had hunted them specifically for it.
It wanted to fight, but it waited until the wolves had almost finished eating before appearing. There seemed to be no point in fighting at this time, and that cave was not suitable for storing food, as they all ate fresh food.
They deliberately changed direction today, and unexpectedly saw traces of wild boars here.
So she had been looking in the wrong direction?
Ye Zhizhi was originally squatting on an ancient tree, waiting for prey to appear nearby, but he didn't squat for long before he felt that something was wrong with the jungle today, it was too quiet.
Although the jungle is quiet most of the time, there is something indescribably different about the quiet now, as if there is something nearby.
Ye Zhizhi thought of the monster and wondered, could it be this? Why is it squatting so early today? They haven't even started hunting yet!
While Ye Zhizhi was lost in thought, he saw the wild boars he had been thinking about appear, and there were more than one or two of them.
Ye Zhizhi stared at the herd of wild boars not far away, his eyes shining. They seemed a little restless, digging the ground violently and making grunting sounds.
Yinyi was not attracted by the appearance of prey. Its ears were erect and its tail was clamped, which showed its anxiety.
But it couldn't find the source and just looked around vigilantly. The other wolves also looked a little uneasy.
Ye Zhizhi stood up and thought, there is indeed something wrong with the forest today, let’s run first!
Suddenly, the herd of wild boars grunted and ran forward quickly.
Ye Zhizhi and the wolves did not chase after them immediately.
Yin Yi's hair stood up, his muscles tensed, and his animal eyes looked straight behind Ye Zhizhi.
Ye Zhizhi didn't look back, his whole body was extremely stiff.
Behind Ye Zhizhi, behind the dark and towering vegetation, a pair of extremely huge beast eyes slowly opened. It blinked, revealing a bright golden color through the vegetation.
