74 Wilderness Survival
◎Now!◎
The forest was dark, the rain was pouring down, and thunder and lightning exploded from time to time.
It was extremely dangerous for both humans and animals to stay in such an environment. However, the wolves and snakes had been running for nearly a day and a night, and they urgently needed not only to replenish their energy but also to rest.
Ye Zhizhi's smoked meat was of little use to them. If only they could find prey. She tried to sniff out the hidden prey, but unfortunately, no animals were stupid enough to stay outside in the heavy rain.
They didn't rest for long. As soon as they recovered, Xiaohua carried Ye Zhizhi on her back and continued on her journey.
Ye Zhizhi didn't mind who took her away, as long as Yin Yi didn't get angry. And Xiaohua came all the way in the rain to warn them, and Ye Zhizhi was very grateful.
She lowered her head and rubbed the cold snake scales that were constantly washed by the rain.
The wolves followed closely behind.
Ye Zhizhi was wrapped in a fur cloak, which could effectively block the invasion of cold air and the constant beating of rain, making him feel much more comfortable.
They ran in the rain for nearly a whole day. Ye Zhizhi looked at the surrounding mountains and forests and felt that they looked familiar. They had walked there before.
Later I realized that the direction they were running was towards the jungle where they were originally staying.
However, Xiaohua took them to run from another route, and the rain and thick fog blocked their vision, so Ye Zhizhi took a long time to recognize them.
Xiaohua wandered around the jungle that day and realized later that the cub had already left the jungle.
Xiaohua was depressed for a long time, thinking that she should find the direction of the cub's nest and wait until autumn and winter to come back to find the cub. She followed the faint scent and followed it all the way here.
The python crawled all the way without stopping, and basically arrived at the same time as Ye Zhizhi and the others. It also saw the cubs and the tribe hunting from afar.
However, Xiaohua did not appear. Instead, she noted the location of the cave and quietly left. Who knew that halfway through her journey, Xiaohua discovered the presence of the monster. At that time, she happened to be crawling through the rock cave and could detect the presence of the monster in the valley from afar.
The monster was sitting in the valley, devouring its prey, and while eating it raised its head to sniff the air.
Xiaohua was almost discovered, but fortunately she ran fast and slipped away quickly into the crevice of the rocks. She still remembered that the cub's tribe and the jungle king were at odds, and the cub was almost trampled to death by it that day. And the direction it was sniffing in was the direction of the cub.
The monster is looking for the cub.
After realizing this, Xiaohua climbed a distance, then quickly turned around and ran back, trying to give the first hint.
It had memorized the way to the cubs' den and ran faster than the monster that stopped and sniffed along the way.
Soon the rainy season came, which covered the tracks of the cubs and made it more difficult for the monster to find them. However, the direction it was heading was correct, and it would soon find the cubs, so they had to leave.
However, the monster was not slow either. After Ye Zhizhi and Xiaohua left, it found their temporary nest.
The monster hid its breath and approached stealthily. It finally found the group of hateful prey, but discovered that the prey were no longer in the cave.
The monster realized that they had discovered its tracks first and left secretly.
It howled angrily, no longer hiding its breath, but continued to search openly. If the rain had not washed away a lot of their scent, making it more difficult for the monster to find them, it would probably catch up with them soon.
However, they couldn't escape for long. On the third morning after they ran away, Ye Zhizhi heard a loud noise from afar, which was rapidly approaching them.
Ye Zhizhi heard a rumbling sound and thought it was a flash flood at first glance. However, from their high vantage point, they vaguely saw a huge, blurry shadow.
It really is a monster! Why is it so closely chasing them? Ye Zhizhi immediately thought of the place where she fell off the cliff that day.
It didn't die after falling off such a high cliff, and it even came back to seek revenge!
Ye Zhizhi couldn't believe it.
The wolves were eating frantically at the time. After running for a long time, they didn't know whether God heard Ye Zhizhi's prayers.
They smelled the scent of a solitary prey hiding under a rock, and deliberately took a detour to hunt.
The monster was getting closer and closer, and the mountain beneath their feet was shaking.
Ye Zhizhi immediately jumped onto Yin Yi's back and stopped them from carrying the package, telling them to continue running forward at full speed.
Ye Zhizhi saw the direction Xiaohua was running and finally realized that it wanted to take her back to its nest.
Xiaohua's nest is deep in the mountain, where it can avoid attacks from monsters, but what about the wolves? Ye Zhizhi still remembers that the wolves couldn't crawl into that passage.
She couldn't just abandon the wolves.
Ye Zhizhi lowered his body, almost burying himself in Yin Yi's wet fur, pretending not to hear the hissing of Xiaohua who was crawling closely beside him.
At this time, it was only some distance away from the entrance of Xiaohua's nest.
Ye Zhizhi then raised his head and hissed at Xiaohua a few times, telling it to hurry back to its den, and then urged the wolves to run quickly.
Yin Yi's pace slowed down for a moment, and the powerful threatening aura behind him was getting closer and closer. In the end, Yin Yi quickly carried Ye Zhizhi on his back and continued running.
Xiaohua hissed a few times on the spot, and the shaking of the mountain became more and more obvious. Xiaohua hurriedly dived into the passage.
It didn't take long for the monster to reach the passageway, as it could smell the scent of those pesky little prey.
Heavy rain washed over the monster's huge body, and the water kept flowing. It took a step forward and continued to chase forward.
As the monster's movements became farther and farther away, a snake head emerged from the wet vines, looking in the direction the monster had left, its scarlet tongue flickering.
Ye Zhizhi and the wolves ran deeper and deeper, and the light seemed to become dimmer.
Her brain was racing, trying to find a way out.
The only thing she could think of was the cliff. If it didn't work the first time, maybe what would happen if she fell a second or third time?
But it won't work. Ye Zhizhi doesn't dare to underestimate the intelligence of animals. The monster will definitely not be fooled again.
As for traps, she had no weapons that could harm the monsters.
Although they ran very fast, the monster had already discovered their tracks again and quickly caught up with them.
Ye Zhizhi asked Erzong and the others to run separately. She also got off Yinyi, threw away her animal skin cloak, and struggled to shuttle through the mountains and forests in the rain.
She still remembered that the monster hated her the most, so she consciously kept a distance from the wolf in an attempt to lure the monster away.
Yin Yi, however, followed Ye Zhizhi closely all the time. Ye Zhizhi yelled at him a few times and asked him to run in another direction, but Yin Yi pretended not to understand.
Ye Zhizhi had no choice but to continue focusing on moving forward.
They ran into an unfamiliar jungle, and due to the rain and fog, the ground was slippery and had begun to accumulate water.
Ye Zhizhi could only try his best to keep steady and avoid falling, and his speed inevitably slowed down a lot.
Soon she discovered that the monster didn't seem to be determined to chase it anymore. It would chase whichever wolf it could smell.
It must be the wolf pack's action of knocking it into the cliff that day that caused their hatred value to rise infinitely to the same level.
Seeing this, Ye Zhizhi let out a loud howl, telling them to run towards her. Ye Zhizhi wasn't sure if the other wolves were strong enough to escape from the monster's claws, but her smaller size made her more agile.
Lightning flashed for a moment.
Ye Zhizhi saw the appearance of the monster that could not be hidden by the mountains and forests.
It looked different from the one Ye Zhizhi had seen before. Only one of its eyes was left, and the other one had been gnawed by something unknown. The eye and the surrounding skin were all black.
There were also many scars on its huge body, and a small piece was missing from its long, serrated tail. It looked like the wound was not only caused by falling off the cliff, but also by something under the cliff that had caused damage to it.
Unfortunately, the damage was limited, and it finally got out of the cliff alive.
Judging from the monster's vengeful nature, it must have already dealt with the things at the bottom of the cliff, and now it's time to deal with them.
Ye Zhizhi was thinking frantically while running.
It suddenly occurred to her that it was impossible for monsters to be without natural enemies.
If she could lure it to the territory of its natural enemy and use its strength to counter it... Although this method was very dangerous and she might lose her life if she wasn't careful, if she could get rid of the monster that had been chasing them, she had to try it no matter how dangerous it was.
Otherwise, if they were constantly being stared at by such a terrifying monster, they would have a hard time every day and would have to be on the run all the time.
However, the only problem was that she didn't know what the monster's natural enemies were. They would stay away from it when they sensed a strong aura, and their auras were not as strong as this monster's.
After noticing that he couldn't outrun Yin Xiaohui and was being caught up by the monster, Yin Yi turned around and ran over, actively attacking the monster's thick hind legs in an attempt to attract the monster's attention.
Although the wolves were much larger in size, they were still much smaller than the monsters.
Yin Yi's more solid claws scratched several deep wounds on the scale-less part of the hind legs. Bright red blood oozed out and was quickly washed away by the rain.
Yin hit the target one by one, then quickly jumped down and ran away.
The monster felt the pain in its hind legs, and it turned its head and bit Silver Little Gray instantly, not caring that he would be trampled to death in the next moment, and chased after Silver Gray and bit him.
Silver Gray took this opportunity to run away.
Ye Zhizhi asked them to run farther first.
It was obvious that this monster didn't want to let go of either Ye Zhizhi or the wolf. If it didn't want to be killed, it could only find a way to get rid of this monster.
The rain obstructed the monster's perception, leaving only one eye...
Yin Zhou couldn't circle for long as the road was too slippery, which also hindered its speed.
Ye Zhizhi looked at the green thorn in her hand. She had never thought that this green thorn would have any use. After all, piercing the monster's body was almost like tickling. She had been holding it just to increase her sense of security.
She raised her head, let out a loud roar, and ran to the edge of the jungle.
What the jungle has the most is very tall ancient trees. Ye Zhizhi soon found an ancient tree that was tall enough. She rushed over, inserted the green thorns into her waist and back, and climbed up quickly.
Yin Yi heard Ye Zhizhi's cry, and he dodged and slowly walked towards the jungle.
Ye Zhizhi climbed all the way up. She climbed very high. After she estimated that the distance was about right, she stopped crawling and carefully concealed her breath.
She was on a high place, so it was difficult for the monster to smell her scent. Ye Zhizhi squatted on a branch, quietly waiting for an opportunity.
At this time, the monster was getting closer and closer to the jungle.
Yin Yi ran into the jungle in a panic, with blood stains all over his body, which were quickly washed away. He didn't know when he was injured.
She clenched the green thorn in her hand and breathed more slowly.
The monster came under the tree, and Yin Yi was circling underneath.
Ye Zhizhi was ready to go, her pair of bright black eyes no longer affected by the rain, she stared intently without blinking.
Now is the time!
Ye Zhizhi's eyes were sharp, and he kicked his hind legs. His small body was as fast as lightning, and in a blink of an eye he jumped onto the huge head that had just turned around.
By the time the monster noticed, the green thorn in Ye Zhizhi's hand had already pierced into its huge eye.
"roar!!!"
The monster roared so loudly that the falling rain seemed to shake, and its head shook violently.
Ye Zhizhi tried hard to dig into the monster's eye socket with her other hand, and clamped her feet together to stabilize her body. She became calmer in the constant shaking, quickly pulled out the green thorn, and stabbed it in another position.
But after this successful attack, Ye Zhizhi's body could no longer remain stable and he fell down instantly.
The monster roared and stomped the ground with its limbs indiscriminately, causing the mountain to shake.
Its only intact eyeball was now blood red, and blood and eye fluid were flowing out.
The monster could no longer see clearly, but its sense of smell detected the location of the small prey that had pierced its eye.
It opened its mouth angrily and bit down.
Before Ye Zhizhi landed on the ground and fell to her death, she saw the bloody mouth coming towards her.
Her mind went blank.
The next moment, she was hit by something and flew to the side as fast as lightning, and instantly fell into a furry area.
Yin Yi caught Ye Zhizhi and ran away quickly.
Ye Zhizhi tried hard to steady herself. She covered her aching heart and turned her head to see that a giant python had wrapped around the monster's body.
“Hiss…Ahhh!”
