65 Wilderness Survival
◎Ye Zhizhi leaped off the cliff.◎
Ye Zhizhi didn't look back. She saw Yin Yi's eyes. Almost at the same time, Ye Zhizhi suddenly jumped down from the ancient tree, jumped onto Yin Yi's back, bent down and hugged Yin Yi, and the wolves ran away quickly.
The wolves ran and jumped on the rocks and tree roots, and soon overtook the wild boars who were also running wildly, and ran to the front. However, they still did not stop, but continued to run forward with all their strength, together with other beasts that rushed out of the jungle.
Behind the rocks and bushes, the owner of those eyes stared at the small prey fleeing frantically in the forest, his sharp, jagged teeth slightly grinning, revealing an expression resembling a smile.
Found it.
It was not mistaken in its perception; it indeed smelled like the prey that had escaped from its mouth that year.
Although the scent is now so faint that it is almost inaudible, it remembered the smell of the cub that accompanied it that day.
It followed the faint scent all the way through the jungle, and finally smelled the strong scent of the cub here.
This monster arrived nearby last night. Even though it was huge, it moved silently, and even the domineering aura it exuded was restrained. After it found the area where the cub was, it did not look for it everywhere, but silently hid itself in the jungle.
It lay in the valley behind the rocks with its eyes closed, its huge body hidden by the dense bushes, waiting for its prey to come to it.
Until the stronger scent of the cub woke it up.
Its eyes moved slightly, locking onto the small dot with incredible precision.
Its position seemed to be a little close to the target, but in fact there was still some distance between them, and at this moment, they ran farther away.
The prey was still within the monster's hunting range, so it was not in a hurry to catch up. Instead, it stood up slowly.
At that moment, its scent was no longer concealed, and the animals in the jungle that smelled this powerful scent fled away frantically.
The monster's towering body like a mountain slowly emerged from behind the bushes. The golden light reflected on its dense scales, flashing with a sharp edge like a sword.
Every time it took a step forward, the jungle trembled slightly, as if the earth and plants were prostrating themselves at the feet of the king of the jungle.
The leaves on the ancient trees slid across the scales, making a trembling "swish" sound.
The monster's aura spread throughout the jungle, and the atmosphere of the entire jungle froze, plunging into a deathly silence. It was chilling.
The monster's ability to conceal its breath is very strong, and even though it is huge, it can still walk lightly.
This is an ability that monsters have evolved over thousands of years.
They are too powerful. If they cannot conceal their presence, their prey will flee early after sensing their presence from afar.
So in order to get close to their prey, they have developed this ability.
Of course, it's not just these monsters; even other predators, such as jackals, tigers, and leopards, will first conceal their presence and get as close as possible to their prey. It's a skill innate in all carnivores. Just like herbivores at the bottom of the food chain are also very perceptive, they can quickly detect and flee if a carnivore approaches.
Once it gets close to its prey, the monster will no longer hide its tracks. It will run rampant without restraint and choose its prey from the animals that are fleeing madly under its nose.
It shuttled through the jungle, causing vibrations with every step it took, and its huge paws left a deep print on the ground wherever it passed.
It ignored the fatter prey and kept its eyes on the smallest one.
The towering trees in the jungle were very tall to Ye Zhizhi and the wolf, and they looked very small in the jungle. But for the monster, they were a bit cramped. The branches above them blocked the monster from time to time. Wherever it passed, the sound of branches breaking continued, but it seemed insignificant at this time.
As Ye Zhizhi was running forward madly with the wolf pack, he felt a familiar tremor.
She turned her head and saw the huge monster behind her.
Ye Zhizhi was extremely shocked.
How did this monster end up here? They were clearly miles away from its base camp! They'd deliberately avoided its territory when they were looking for a makeshift home, and now they were even further away. How could they have encountered it?!
Or is this area its real territory? Did it just go to that jungle to hunt that day?
And when did it even get into this jungle?! Such a huge monster, and they didn't even hear a single sound!
Ye Zhizhi thought it was unscientific.
As they ran, the other animals were also running wildly.
The wolves did not run in a straight line, but circled to the side, trying to get out of the monster's hunting range.
However, unexpectedly, the monster did not even look at those huge and conspicuous creatures, but kept walking. As it walked, it began to run, and the entire forest was shaking in waves.
And the direction it ran was exactly the direction of Ye Zhizhi and the wolf pack.
Ye Zhizhi's heart seemed to be tightly gripped, and even breathing became difficult.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt like she was being watched.
That terrifying gaze locked onto her.
The murderous aura behind him was as solid as solid matter.
Like a shadow.
Ye Zhizhi and the others didn't dare to stop at all.
She turned her head to look and made sure it was not an illusion. The monster was coming towards them.
They did not run out of the jungle, but in the endless jungle, there were ancient tree branches blocking the way, which actually slowed down the speed of the monster.
If it runs to the wilderness, it will be more convenient for it to hunt.
Ye Zhizhi, Yin Yi and the others were getting closer and closer to the monster. Ye Zhizhi let out a roar and let the wolves run towards the trap they had set.
They had already passed the trap, but the monster was still behind them. Since it was chasing them, if they ran to the front of the trap, the monster would definitely catch up with them.
Ye Zhizhi could see the monster chasing her from afar, and stepped into their trap. Unfortunately, this had no effect on it. The small green thorns pierced its thick paws, but it didn't hurt at all.
Ye Zhizhi didn't have time to think about why the monster was chasing them, as it was getting closer and closer.
The closer the distance between them was, the stronger the sense of oppression the monster brought to them. Ye Zhizhi seemed to be able to smell the bloody and fishy breath it exuded.
Silver One and Brown Two and Little White were separated on both sides unknowingly during the chase. It was too late for them to reunite, so they had to continue running forward, getting farther and farther away from each other.
The monster turned around without hesitation and continued to chase Yin Yi and Ye Zhizhi.
Ye Zhizhi was absolutely certain that the monster had locked onto her... or was it Yin Yi? Ye Zhizhi turned her head to meet those enormous eyes. Was it staring at her, or at Yin Yi?
Ye Zhizhi inexplicably had a hunch that the monster's target was her!
But why? Was there something about her that attracted the monsters? When had she been stained?
Ye Zhizhi didn't know about the connection between her wolf king father and the monster. When she was in the den, she lived in the same den with the wolf king father and the wolf mother almost every day. Although they were separated for a short time, when winter came, they still had to bring the cubs that were not resistant to the cold back to the den. In fact, it was no different from not being separated at all.
Ye Zhizhi has the strongest aura of the Wolf King and the Silver Wolf, and even Yin Yi has a similar bloodline aura.
When they just came out, the aura of the Wolf King and the Silver Wolf had not completely faded and was captured by the monster.
Otherwise, why would all animals, when they saw Ye Zhizhi, think she was a wolf cub, even though they could see that she was very different from a wolf? It was because the scent of wolf on her body was so strong that it had overshadowed the human scent on her. It could even be said that her own scent had merged with that of the wolf, becoming her unique werewolf scent.
So Ye Zhizhi naturally didn't know that the monster was chasing her because the Wolf King had a grudge against it, and she also didn't know that the root of the grudge was because of her.
Ye Zhizhi, who was very weak at that time, could not survive the cold winter at all. It was the Wolf King who traveled thousands of miles to get the body-strengthening fruit for her that could enhance her physique.
The object of the robbery was this monster that had just reached adulthood at that time. At that time, the monster was not as huge and powerful as it is now. It fought with an opponent who also wanted to steal the fruit. It finally won the battle, but before it had time to enjoy the fruits of victory, it was snatched away by the Wolf King from behind and could not be taken back.
The monster had remembered this for many years, and now, it had a chance to vent its anger that had been accumulating for a long time.
It looked at its prey, which was already within reach, with its golden eyes full of ferocity.
Its perception was not wrong. Even if these prey were not the same ones from that year, they were definitely from the same nest.
Its beast eyes narrowed slightly, emitting a cold light.
If you can't find the real owner, it's the same as looking for his son.
The huge foot was raised high and stepped towards Yin Yi and Ye Zhizhi.
Ye Zhizhi's eyes were wide open. Just one foot cast a shadow that covered the sky and the sun, completely covering them.
Yin Yi reacted extremely quickly and dodged quickly, and his limbs that ran and turned in a rapid direction stirred up a cloud of dust.
They narrowly avoided the feet that could have crushed them into meat patties.
The monster failed to hit it once, so it stepped on it again.
Yin Yi stared at the monster intently. His eyes were extremely sharp. He calmly predicted the monster's movements and avoided it one step ahead, looking for a way to escape.
The monster tried to crush its prey several times but failed, so it would lower its head and suddenly open its mouth to bite it.
Ye Zhizhi, who was very close, could see everything in the monster's wide-open mouth and smell the strong smell of blood.
Ye Zhizhi and Yin Yi had brushed shoulders with death countless times, but the more such moments happened, the calmer the man and the wolf became. While Yin Yi was dodging the death attack, her eyes were observing her surroundings.
At first, Ye Zhizhi was able to hold himself firmly on Yin Yi's back, but as Yin Yi dodged faster and faster, he finally fell off when Yin Yi rolled over.
The moment Ye Zhizhi landed on the ground, he rolled on the ground, got up and ran forward quickly, and rushed into the crevice of the rocks not far away, while Yin Yi landed on the other side of the monster's foot and rushed forward quickly.
The monster chased after the tiny dot without hesitation, even though it usually ignored the tiny creature, as it was too small to even fill a gap in its teeth.
But who made the monster remember this smell? It felt that this small spot was the most hated. Even a big prey with the scent of the wolf king's blood could not take away its hatred.
Ye Zhizhi turned her head and took a look, confirming that the monster's footsteps were turning towards her. She immediately let out a loud roar, signaling Yin Yi to run quickly, and then she dived into the tree roots and rock crevices without looking back.
She was sure that the monster was chasing her.
Yin Yi had already run for some distance. When he heard the wolf girl's cry, he ran a little further but slowly stopped.
It was still within the monster's hunting range, and its instinct urged it to keep running, to a safe place.
When Yin turned his head, the monster had turned its back to him and turned to chase another prey, and the prey it was chasing was the wolf girl.
Yin Yi crouched down, his golden vertical pupils filled with determination and murderous intent, and he turned around and chased after the monster.
At the same time, Erzhong and other wolves who were fleeing to the other side also rushed over. They immediately followed Yinyi's footsteps and chased after him together.
Ye Zhizhi kept trying to get into small places. The monster could lock onto her breath, but sometimes it couldn't see where that small spot was. It stomped around with its feet, but eventually Ye Zhizhi managed to get out.
Ye Zhizhi's two short legs ran so fast that sparks flashed. Although they didn't know why they were staring at her, this gave Yin Yi and the others time to escape.
The more imminent the danger, the calmer Ye Zhizhi becomes.
Stay calm.
Don't panic.
Faced with the absolute disparity in strength, she had no choice but to outsmart the opponent.
Under the stimulation of life and death, Ye Zhizhi's brain was spinning wildly.
Then she remembered that when she and the wolves were running around in the jungle, they found a very high cliff on one side.
Only by going there can she have a chance of survival.
Ye Zhizhi made up his mind and immediately ran towards the cliff.
No matter how fast she was, she could not be faster than the monster, but Ye Zhizhi ran towards places with many obstacles, which must have hindered the monster's pace.
Ye Zhizhi and the wolves often ran around in the jungle in search of prey, and she had already memorized the jungle environment, which was her advantage.
There were two high ditches in the direction she was running, like a natural chasm. After crossing the ditches, she would soon reach the cliff.
Under the stimulation of death, Ye Zhizhi's two short legs turned into shadows. She ran across the ditch, and behind her, a huge foot passed through it and fell from the sky. Ye Zhizhi did not look back. Every cell in her body was urging her to run faster.
The foot fell above her head and was about to step on Ye Zhizhi, but suddenly something seemed to stop it. The giant foot above her head paused for a moment before falling heavily. In that instant, Ye Zhizhi ran out of the range of the foot and was not crushed into mud.
After escaping death, Ye Zhizhi did not look back, but continued to run forward.
Behind her, the monster's body was too huge and was trapped by two symmetrical mountain walls, which hindered its steps and allowed the small dot under its feet to escape.
But that's all.
The monster used its brute force to push itself through, sending dust and rubble flying from the mountain walls on both sides. After crossing the chasm, it rushed forward quickly.
Ye Zhizhi had already run to the edge of the cliff. She was panting and looked back at the monster running towards her. She could not run anymore.
There is a monster in front and a cliff behind.
Will he die under the monster's feet and be crushed into mud, or will he jump off the cliff and still be left with nothing?
But jumping off the cliff still gives you a chance of survival, while not jumping will surely lead to death.
Ye Zhizhi did not hesitate and jumped off the cliff.
The monster that was running towards them stopped abruptly at the edge of the cliff. It leaned over and bit Ye Zhizhi. The hair that was blown by the wind at the bottom of the cliff just passed through the monster's fangs and crisscrossed.
The ground beneath the monster's feet seemed unable to bear its weight, and kept sinking and rolling down.
It seemed a little unwilling, and tried hard to look down, and it could still smell the scent of that small dot.
At this moment, five wolves suddenly appeared from behind the monster. They rushed over at the fastest speed, just like they had done in the past few days of cooperative hunting to knock their prey into a trap. At the same time, they slammed their backs into the monster's hind legs.
The monster's center of gravity was originally in the front, and its two hind legs that maintained its balance were suddenly hit, which was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. It subconsciously moved forward, and the soil under its feet sank faster. It completely lost its balance, and its forelimbs and head suddenly hung in the air and fell on the cliff.
The monster's two hind legs struggled and paddled desperately, causing mud and rocks to fly. It tried to steady its body and retreat back to the edge of the cliff, but there was a disruptive wolf behind it, and finally the monster's body struggled and fell towards the cliff.
The monster roared and fell, casting a huge shadow.
Ye Zhizhi jumped off the cliff but survived by grabbing a branch growing on the edge of the cliff. Before she could recover, she suddenly realized something was wrong and looked up.
The huge monster was coming down towards her.
Ye Zhizhi's sweaty face was filled with confusion. She had finally escaped death, but before she even reached the cliff face, she was about to be taken down?!
