82 Wilderness Survival
◎Come here, I want to talk to you.◎
Ye Zhizhi's gaze slowly scanned the territory.
As if sensing the cub's thoughts, the silver wolf slowed down its pace.
The wolves behind him followed, and more and more of them appeared in Ye Zhizhi's sight.
Ye Zhizhi observed the wolves in her tribe. She counted them silently and found that not a single one was missing.
She saw three young wolves that looked a little unfamiliar to her. Ye Zhizhi sniffed their scent and recognized that they were the wolf cubs that had not grown up before they left. They were now adults.
They were walking far away and didn't dare to approach. Perhaps it was because they had little contact and were not familiar with each other, so they didn't dare to look at us.
Ye Zhizhi thought about why he didn't approach the three wolf cubs, and his eyes darkened.
But she quickly put that emotion aside and was no longer the helpless wolf cub.
Ye Zhizhi discovered a problem. All the wolves had come out, including the only wolf grandmother. In other words, there were no wolves in the cave and the wolf pack had no newborn cubs.
This means that the wolf girl she has been thinking about for a long time is still nowhere to be found.
There are only adult wolves in their pack now, except her.
Ye Zhizhi saw that the wolves' stomachs were not shriveled but were obviously not full. Due to the lack of food, the wolves would choose not to add new family members.
The resources here are limited and cannot support more wolves.
This is an instinctive choice made by the wolves after weighing the pros and cons.
When Ye Zhizhi thought of this, she decided that she must find a new territory as soon as possible, and before that she had to build a few more farms here.
By then, no matter how many wolves there are, we will be able to support them!
For her wolf sister, she fought hard!
Ye Zhizhi returned to the familiar cave.
After spending so much time in Xiaohua's den, the cave, which had seemed so large, felt smaller. But no nest, golden or silver, could compare to her own; she still preferred her own home. The silver wolf brought Ye Zhizhi back to the boulder den, placed her in the grass nest, and cradled her in his arms, licking her from head to toe, especially her exposed face and hands.
Ye Zhizhi was so happy that she lifted up her little feet and rolled over and over in cooperation.
She missed the wolf mother's licking so much. When she was hurt and alone, she wanted to bury herself in the wolf mother's fur like now, and be wrapped in the wolf mother's strong breath, which effectively soothed her emotions.
Yinyi and the others came over, and Erzhong and the other wolves walked up to the boulder den. When they lay down, Yinyi used his paws to unload the packages and piled them up into a thick pile. Then he looked at Ye Zhizhi and wagged his tail.
Ye Zhizhi howled, holding the wolf mother's paw and turning his head to look over, not wanting to come out.
She thanked Erzong and the others for their hard work and said they would share the specialties later!
Silver and other wolves had no objection. In order to return early, they had traveled for such a long time and had not had enough rest, so they went back and lay down first.
So he turned back to his nest.
The three young wolves who had been watching them from afar breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Yin Yi and the others did not return to the den immediately. Two of the brown wolves folded their ears nervously and wanted to go over and quietly destroy the evidence, but when they saw the black wolf's stubborn attitude of holding its neck high, they did not dare to move for a moment.
When the wolf noticed that the newly returned wolf was walking towards the den, its tail instantly straightened and its ears folded back, as if it had been greatly frightened.
Before Yinyi reached his nest, he suddenly stopped, sniffed, and then slowly walked over.
It sensed a scent in the den that did not belong to it, and it had even covered up the scent it had left behind. This was now a strong scent of other wolves. Obviously, during the time it was away, its den had been occupied by other wolves.
Yin Yi walked around his den, turned his head instantly, and locked his sharp eyes on the young black wolf standing in the distance.
The black wolf shrank his neck, not knowing what he was thinking about. He tried to straighten his body and hold his head high, with a look of dissatisfaction written on every hair.
Yin Yi walked towards the black wolf.
Each step seemed to be stepping on the black wolf's heart. The huge body, which was twice as big as it, was getting closer and closer, and the pressure was getting heavier.
The black wolf finally couldn't bear it anymore. It tucked its tail between its legs, tightened its ears, and took two steps back.
As for the other two wolves, they could no longer bear it and lay down to show their submission.
Yin Yi's eyes were sharp, and a low sound came from his throat—
Come here, I want to talk to you.
***
Ye Zhizhi was enjoying the affection with the wolf mother. As the wolf mother licked her, she felt so comfortable that she let out a sweet howl from time to time.
Suddenly, a miserable wolf howl was heard in the cave.
Ye Zhizhi pricked up his ears instantly, and when he climbed up, he did not forget to pull the wolf mother up. Even though he was curious, he wanted to stick with the wolf mother.
She held the wolf mother's front legs and looked down, only to find that Yin Yi was beating the black wolf easily.
The black wolf couldn't escape, nor could it fight back. It was hit by a claw from time to time, and soon there were scratches all over its body. Before spring came, its hair fell off in clumps.
The black wolf screamed miserably.
Ye Zhizhi tilted her head. They had just returned. How did Xiao Hei offend Yin Yi?
It seems that Yin's hands are quite black and he looks very angry.
Ye Zhizhi narrowed her eyes slightly. Should she also go down and give him a claw?
If you mess with Brother Wolf, you’ve messed with me.
The wolves gathered nearby and watched the young wolves fight with great interest, or perhaps it could be said that it was a one-sided crushing.
This wolf cub of the Wolf King still has the demeanor of a Wolf King. He is just as ruthless as his father and is worthy of being the offspring of the Wolf King. Moreover, he has grown so fast in such a short period of time. In time, he will be able to surpass his father.
The wolves' eyes were bright, as if they could see the future of the pack.
The black wolf's father, mother and uncle were all watching with great interest. They didn't feel sorry at all when their cubs were beaten.
The three cubs in their family were too well protected and too young to know their place. It was better for them to be beaten by wolves in the tribe than to be beaten by other predators outside the territory. The former could survive, but the latter would only become food.
Not only was the black wolf beaten badly, but the other two wolves who had surrendered early on also did not escape the beatings from their older brothers and sisters.
After being beaten, he had to move his grass nest to where it should be, and then use his tail to roll up new dry grass and spread it on his brother and sister's nest.
You have to know that a wolf's tail cannot curl very well, so this is undoubtedly very difficult, but Yin Yi dislikes their saliva, so he only allows them to curl their tails upwards, or carry them on his back.
Only then did Ye Zhizhi realize that during the time they were away, Yinyi and the others' den had been occupied by three wolves that had separated later. Moreover, these wolves were very discerning and had chosen the den of Yinyi, Erbrown, and Sanbai.
As for her nest, it was disliked for being too small, and she escaped disaster.
Ye Zhizhi looked at the three wolves with bruised faces and noses. Their hair was bald in patches and there were many bloodstains and swellings on their bodies. She felt that they deserved it. If they dared to take advantage of her, she would give them a happy childhood.
Since they couldn’t go back to the nest to rest for a while, Ye Zhizhi called Yin Yi and the others up and started to share the local specialties!
Ye Zhizhi didn't have that much luggage at first, but he had a lot of it delivered to his door along the way.
On the way back, they met the monkey group again.
Relying on the large number of monkeys in the tribe, they wanted to rob them without knowing their place, but naturally they were easily robbed back.
Ye Zhizhi used to be able to stamp her feet in anger just watching the monkeys scurrying up and down the trees. Now, she could climb faster and more skillfully than the monkeys. No matter how nimble the monkey was, she could easily catch up with it and give it a good scolding.
The wolves even chased the monkeys to their lair.
Ye Zhizhi smelled a strong fruity aroma, and then found the legendary monkey wine in their cave. Even though he had never tasted it, Ye Zhizhi knew it was a good thing, so he not only picked their fruits and nuts, but also filled a lot of monkey wine.
When going home, of course I have to bring some local specialties.
At first there were only two packages, but as time went by, the number of specialties increased.
They also passed by the place where the monster had appeared. They were nervous at first, but after thinking about it, they thought that such a huge monster should live alone and would not kill the younger ones to attack the older ones.
Given the monster's deterrent power, it shouldn't be too late for other monsters to occupy its territory for a while.
Logically speaking, there should be a lot of good things in the monster's lair.
The more powerful the predator, the more good things it should be guarding.
Ye Zhizhi looked at his increasing number of packages and thought, forget it, he should not be too greedy. It would be great if he could take all these good things back.
She was also thinking about whether she should go to the monster's lair to search for any good things before other predators occupied it. The fact that no predator had occupied it was just her guess. What if a more powerful predator had already occupied it and was hibernating there?
If they rushed over rashly, wouldn't they just be delivering the food?
Ye Zhizhi thought about it and gave up the idea, continuing to hurry on his way.
In addition, there are green thorn leaves, stalactite water exchanged with Xiaohua, and the silverfish she caught.
At first, the silverfish was stupid and easily fell into the trap, but after many times, it became smarter and she could catch less and less. Finally, she exchanged some of it with Xiaohua for stalactite water, and took the rest outside to freeze.
When they left, they dug it up, tied it up with vines and took it away.
There were also a lot of prey we had caught on the road, and thinking that the wolves would find them tasty, we specially saved the tender parts and froze them to bring back.
Along the way, we gradually added more specialties.
Ye Zhizhi used green thorns to scrape up the local specialties and divided them up. Some of them were so frozen that they broke into several pieces when she threw them on the ground.
Every wolf gets some. Those who have more can get a few pieces, and those who have less can just taste it.
Ye Zhizhi was still a little selfish, and he left the most silverfish and stalactite water for the wolf mom and the wolf king dad.
These two are the most valuable in the pile. She only has this one bottle of stalactite water after collecting them all. The other wolves each shared an ice cube as big as a fingernail, and she also gave away quite a few. She wants to give most of the remaining half to her wolf mother and wolf king father.
Of course, between the wolf mom and the wolf king dad, the wolf mom has the most. Two-thirds belong to the wolf mom, and the rest belong to the wolf king dad. Her partiality is clearly written in her actions.
The Wolf King had long recognized the "specialties" brought back by the cubs, all of which were unique to the central area, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
It thought the wolf cub was just wandering between the outer and central areas, but it actually ran in there!
As a wolf that had roamed the central area many times and gotten a lot of good things, it knew very well how dangerous those places were. It didn't expect that these cubs could stay in there for such a long time and still come out safe and sound.
You know, animals from the outer areas are in danger of death if they go in.
These brats are actually more powerful than their father.
