95 Wilderness Survival
◎Ye Zhizhi and Yin Yi opened their eyes at the same time.◎
Ye Zhizhi poured the boiled water back into the wooden barrel, not even bothering to wait for it to cool down, and then packed up the tent and other things.
The wolves were called back.
Ye Zhizhi just realized that Xiaohua had run away and she hissed loudly.
After a while, Xiaohua poked out the snake's head from behind the rock layer. It crawled over with its tongue moving in and out.
Hiss——
As if asking what's wrong.
Ye Zhizhi didn't bother to ask where Xiaohua had gone. He quickly tied up his luggage, sat on Yinyi's back, and ran quickly towards the setting sun with the wolves and snakes.
A gust of wind blew by, picking up the ashes that still had some smoke and drifting away in the direction of the wind.
The setting sun slowly disappeared on the horizon, and soon everything turned dark.
As night fell, somewhere deep in the rocks, there was a slight tremor, as if something was waking up.
Ye Zhizhi, the wolf pack, and Xiaohua ran until midnight before they slowed down.
Ye Zhizhi looked back at the darkness in the distance and thought, "Are they far enough away? Even if there is something, it won't catch up to them."
Perhaps because there are no high peaks to block the wind, the wind in the Gobi Desert is very strong, especially at night. When the whistling wind passes through the deep valley, accompanied by the sound of rocks colliding and making strange howling sounds, it creates a desolate and terrifying atmosphere, as if the entire wasteland is echoing with this strange sound.
Ye Zhizhi and the wolves found a relatively sheltered place behind the rocks.
The wolves patrolled the area and found nothing unusual, so they lay down to rest.
Yin Yi chose a relatively flat position slightly away from the edge. After lying down, its belly became Ye Zhizhi's safe haven.
Ye Zhizhi clung tightly to Yin Yi, feeling the warmth coming from him, and his own body gradually warmed up.
The temperature difference between day and night here is also large, and it can be a bit cold at night, but Ye Zhizhi has already adapted to this temperature and is not affected at all, let alone the wolves.
Erzong and Sanbai continued to patrol nearby. They observed their surroundings vigilantly, their ears turning from time to time.
Ye Zhizhi hugged Yin Yi and closed her eyes. She had to get up in the middle of the night to patrol, so she had to make good use of the time to rest.
She could hear Yin Yi's heartbeat in her ears, feel his warm body rising and falling, and soon fell into a drowsy state.
She really liked listening to Yin Yi's energetic heartbeat, the thumping sound, and she could feel the exuberant vitality.
Just like now, she listened carefully, as if she could hear——
wrong--
Ye Zhizhi and Yin Yi opened their eyes at the same time.
Like the wolves, she pricked up her ears and listened to the noise.
The strange howling sound of the wind seemed to become smaller, as if it was blocked by something, and there was a faint dull tremor on the ground, and something huge was approaching them.
And there is more than one.
Ye Zhizhi suddenly sat up straight and then stood up.
Yin Yi also stood up quickly.
"Hiss--" Xiaohua raised her head high and looked into the distance vigilantly.
At this time, Erzong and Sanbaiye discovered movement in the distance.
In the darkness, many huge shadows, darker than the darkness itself, were rapidly approaching them.
“Ouch—”
Ye Zhizhi quickly climbed onto Yin Yi's back. With Yin Yi's howl, the wolves and Xiaohua ran forward quickly.
The giant shadow behind them seemed to have sensed that its prey had escaped, and no longer tried to hide its tracks, but quickly ran towards them from all directions.
At a glance, there were nearly twenty dark shadows climbing down from the cracks in the rocks. Their number was huge and their bodies were enormous.
They are more familiar with this wilderness and can always approach the wolves and Ye Zhizhi faster.
Ye Zhizhi looked back from time to time, and under the cold full moon, she could clearly see the huge shadow chasing them.
Were they enormous lizards? Their scaly armor and rows of sharp teeth occasionally flashed in the moonlight.
They crawled on the ground on all fours at a very fast speed, getting closer and closer to Ye Zhizhi and the others.
Ye Zhizhi saw the pairs of animal eyes flashing scarlet, which looked extremely ferocious.
The largest beast among them let out a deafening roar, as if giving orders. The beasts around them crawled faster and were about to surround them, ready to attack at any time.
When Yin saw that he couldn't run away, he immediately let out a long howl, calling on the wolves to gather quickly.
Ye Zhizhi lay on Yin Yi's back, holding the dagger tightly in his hand.
At the command, the group of monitor lizards quickly pounced on the wolves, and even Xiaohua was attacked.
Xiaohua stayed very close to the wolf pack, swinging her thick and long tail flexibly, and occasionally slapping the approaching monitor lizards to prevent them from coming over.
The monitor lizards used their sharp claws and thick tails to continuously attack the wolves, but the wolves dodged flexibly and fought back from time to time.
In a blink of an eye, the wolves and snakes started a fierce battle with the monitor lizards.
Ye Zhizhi clamped her legs together, held the dagger tightly in her hand, and was always looking for an opportunity.
Soon, Ye Zhizhi found an opportunity. She seized the fleeting moment, but when her dagger pierced the scales of the monitor lizard, a crisp ding sound was heard instantly. Not only did she fail to cause any harm to the other party, but her own knuckles were numb from the shock, and she almost lost her grip.
At that moment, she thought of the curved weapon that Yin Yi had found, and finally knew what it was made of.
A thick tail swept over from behind, and Ye Zhizhi lay tightly on Yin Yi. Yin Yi kicked his hind legs and jumped flexibly to avoid it.
Yin Yi and Ye Zhizhi turned around and fought back.
It bared its fangs and extended its claws.
The opponents were too numerous, which was disadvantageous to Xiaohua. Her most powerful ability was to strangle the opponents, but once she started strangling, she could only strangle one end, and soon other monitor lizards would pounce on her and bite her.
Therefore, it can only rely on twisting its body flexibly and using its tail to continuously slap the monitor lizard.
The wolves cooperated with each other to deal with the monitor lizards that were several times their number, and they could fight back tacitly from time to time. For a while, they were in a stalemate.
Seeing that they could not defeat the wolf pack after a long attack, the monitor lizard king roared again, and the monitor lizards quickly changed their strategy and rushed towards the wolf pack regardless of the consequences, intending to disperse them.
A low growl came from Yin Yi's throat, trying to get the wolves to gather around him and not fall into his trap and be separated.
However, under the opponent's brutal charge, the wolf pack was still dispersed.
Yin Yi quickly changed his strategy, letting the two of them work together, trying to reunite while only defending and not attacking.
Yin Yi, Ye Zhizhi and Xiao Hua have not separated yet, but they cannot join up with other wolves for the time being. After the monitor lizard king knows that Yin Yi is the leader of the prey, he orders more monitor lizards to besiege them.
The scales covering their bodies were their protective armor; her dagger could not cause any damage, but the wolf's fangs and claws could scratch them.
Ye Zhizhi found the right opportunity, turned the door and stabbed the wound that was cut by Yin Yi.
This also attracted the attention of the monitor lizards to Ye Zhizhi, the little prey, and she became the target of attack.
Soon, Ye Zhizhi had to roll off Yin Yi's back to avoid the attack. As soon as she stood up, a thick tail swept over. Ye Zhizhi quickly bent down. She could feel the wind brought by the thick tail, which made the back of her head cool.
If she didn't dodge in time, she would be cut in half.
After dodging the fatal blow, Ye Zhizhi ran forward quickly, using his nimble little body to shuttle between the monitors, trying to run in the blind spots of their vision.
Xiaohua noticed Ye Zhizhi, but its tail was still busy. It slapped away the giant lizard that attacked Yin Yi from behind and swam away quickly.
Yin Yi also noticed Ye Zhizhi running among the monitor lizards. He avoided the monitor lizards that were attacking him, and instead pounced on the monitor lizard that had opened its bloody mouth and was about to bite the little flower snake, and started to bite it quickly.
At this time, Xiaohua's winding snake body had circled Ye Zhizhi.
“Hiss—”
Ye Zhizhi understood what Xiaohua meant, and she quickly climbed onto the snake's body.
Xiaohua's crawling speed suddenly increased.
Unable to escape the encirclement for a moment, they approached the nearest Yin Yi. The snake and the wolf cooperated very well.
In a one-on-one fight, Yin Yi can defeat the giant lizard, but if three or four of them attack together, Yin Yi can only passively defend.
Xiaohua swung her tail flexibly, trying to interfere with the monitors that tried to approach her. Influenced by Ye Zhizhi, Xiaohua also took pictures of their injured parts.
Yin Yi fought swiftly and soon killed one giant lizard and seriously injured the other one.
Ye Zhizhi hugged Xiaohua's raised snake head, trying to calm himself down and find the beast's weakness.
When the other side is strong and numerous, it is very disadvantageous for them.
Just like when their wolf pack's territory was attacked, they had no way to avoid it and could only passively confront it head-on.
To catch a thief, you must first catch the king. Ye Zhizhi knew very well that if he wanted to win this war, he had to defeat the giant lizard king first.
"Ah——" Yin Yi gave the signal to attack.
The continued consumption of this battle was very unfavorable to the wolf pack. The four wolves, Erzhuong, Sanbai, and others, tried to work in pairs, but they still began to feel overwhelmed and gradually got further and further away from Yinyi and the others.
Erzhu and the others tried hard to get closer to Yinyi, but there were ten giant lizards surrounding them. The longer the battle lasted, the more energy they consumed and they were inevitably injured.
The blood and pain aroused them to become more ferocious. After hearing Yin Yi's signal of a full-strength attack, they no longer defended blindly but took the initiative to pounce on him, attacking with pure strength, fangs and claws clashing, and their huge bodies colliding with each other.
The smell of blood at the scene became even stronger, not only from the enemy but also from our own side.
Such a fight between ferocious beasts is not something that a small human like Ye Zhizhi can participate in.
But Ye Zhizhi knew that this couldn't go on any longer.
If this continues, the wolf will die.
The Giant Lizard King also joined the battle. It fought with Yin Yi and seemed to want to end the battle as soon as possible.
Ye Zhizhi saw the giant lizard king's sharp claws cutting into Yin Yi's back, with blood spurting out. He also saw Yin Yi's fangs biting the giant lizard king's neck, but he missed the aorta and was avoided.
Ye Zhizhi clenched the dagger in his hand, and when Yin Yi and the Giant Lizard King were stuck again, he hissed at Xiaohua. Xiaohua quickly crawled over and wrapped around the Giant Lizard King's body.
At this time, Ye Zhizhi also seized the opportunity, jumped suddenly, jumped onto the head of the giant lizard king, grabbed its eyelids with one hand, clamped his legs together, and stabbed the dagger in his hand deeply into the neck bitten by Yin Yi, and slashed it down.
Blood gushed out like a fountain.
The giant lizard king let out a violent roar.
Ye Zhizhi made another stroke upwards.
Other monitor lizards rushed forward one after another. Yin Yi pounced on them and bit them desperately, but some of them also pounced on Xiaohua.
The monitor lizard opened its fangs and bit Xiaohua.
Xiaohua screamed in pain, but still clung to the Giant Lizard King.
Ye Zhizhi turned his head and quickly pulled out the dagger. He climbed up and pounced on the giant lizard, riding on its head and inserting the dagger into the scarlet eye of the beast.
The monitor lizard howled in pain, let go of Xiaohua, opened its mouth and turned its head to bite Ye Zhizhi.
The monitor lizard's huge body retreated backwards, making a heavy dragging sound. Ye Zhizhi didn't notice that a thick and long black tail was wrapped around the monitor lizard's tail and back. By the time Ye Zhizhi realized something was wrong, the black tail had already been raised high and swung around with a whoosh. The speed was so fast that it made a very clear sound of breaking through the air, and the force was so great that it directly knocked the monitor lizard away.
Really. Fly.
Together with Ye Zhizhi, who was still hanging on the giant lizard's head, they flew directly over the high rocks and disappeared in front of the wolf and the snake.
Ye Zhizhi: “?”
Yin Yi: “?”
Xiaohua: “?”
“Hiss!!!” Its little cub!!!
Xiaohua screamed miserably, suddenly let go of the Giant Lizard King, and rushed towards the direction where Ye Zhizhi disappeared with a hissing sound.
Yin Yi also wanted to rush forward, but the giant lizard king was not dead yet, and there were many giant lizards besieging him.
At this time, the giant lizard king became extremely ferocious and pounced on Yin Yi.
Yin Yi once again fought with the Giant Lizard King, and he had to kill the Giant Lizard King first.
