97 Wilderness Survival
◎The little python didn't come out?◎
They temporarily settled down in the territory of the monitor lizards.
There is indeed no one who is so blind as to provoke the wolf pack. The monitor lizards are already quite powerful in this area. They often go out in full groups. No matter how powerful the lone beast is, it dare not provoke them easily.
Now that a group of lizards more powerful than the giant lizards has arrived, the neighbors nearby have become more obedient, and there is no need to make any surprise attacks.
After the wolves finished devouring the monitor lizard king, they dragged away three more prey, enough for two more meals. If the climate here wasn't so difficult to preserve food, they could have dragged away even more.
In the end, there were still a lot of monitor lizards left there.
Long after they left, creatures flying in the sky and burrowing underground secretly ran out, and after making sure that the group of ferocious creatures had gone away, they started a gluttonous feast.
In less than half an hour, the monitor lizards were eaten up by many animals.
Ye Zhizhi and the others followed Aunt Wolf back to the temporary nest where the wolf had originally lived when it passed through this area.
A gray wolf wandered alone into this Gobi Desert and just passed by the territory of a group of monitor lizards. It had a strong ability to hide and had already avoided the group of monitor lizards and was about to leave, but it suddenly smelled the strong smell of blood brought by the strong wind. This smell of blood was unfamiliar but mixed with many familiar scents.
The gray wolf turned around without hesitation and ran wildly following the smell of blood. Sure enough, he saw five wolves fighting fiercely with a group of monitor lizards.
Ye Zhizhi already knew that the long stretch of road they had walked was monitor lizard territory. As they passed through, they had been marked by the monitor lizards. They were mistaken for prey, and the monitor lizards then came out in full force, ready to hunt them.
Who knew that the wolves were tougher to deal with than they imagined, and they eventually stumbled and were hunted by the wolves.
Of course, it was also because help came at the critical moment, otherwise the final outcome of the battle might not just be serious injuries, they might be the ones to be eaten.
There is no shortage of food for the time being and the surroundings are safe.
The wolves lay down, licking their wounds and hair, licking the blood clean bit by bit. For places they could not lick themselves, they licked each other. Afterwards, Ye Zhizhi applied herbs to the wolves' most serious wounds.
She collected so many herbs, thinking they would last for a long time, but after a battle, all the wolves were seriously injured, and the herbs were not enough if they were cleared out at once.
Xiaohua also swept away a giant lizard. After making sure the surrounding environment was temporarily safe, she swallowed the whole thing and then slowly digested it.
Ye Zhizhi checked the wounds on Xiaohua's body.
The food in Xiaohua's belly had not been digested yet, and the whole snake looked lazy, but it turned over very cooperatively, revealing its belly.
Ye Zhizhi felt relieved when he saw that Xiaohua was not as seriously injured as the wolves.
She covered Xiaohua's more serious wound with herbs, and saw that many snake scales on its body, especially its tail, had fallen off, and she sighed in pain.
Xiaohua hissed at Ye Zhizhi, acting like a spoiled child, yet with strength, as if to say, for the sake of the little cub, Xiaohua is not in pain.
Ye Zhizhi touched him even more distressedly.
Xiaohua really suffered for her.
Originally, it could have stayed comfortably in its nest, soaking in the hot springs and lakes whenever it wanted, and going out to hunt when it was hungry. But now, for her, it had come to such a harsh environment, not only had its scales dried out, but it was also injured.
Ye Zhizhi hugged the snake's head and rubbed it again and again.
Xiaohua also shook her head slightly and rubbed it, and her curled-up snake tail lifted up, as if happy little flowers were popping out of her body.
It has learned how to rub against Ye Zhizhi. Every time the cub does this to it, it feels happy. If it rubs back, the cub will definitely be happy too.
Yin Yi looked at the snake cub not far away, with surprise written on every hair on his body, and his dissatisfaction was directly reflected in his wolf eyes.
It knew that the python was here to steal its wolf sister.
Even though they had some tacit understanding during the fight, it didn't prevent it from still finding the python annoying.
The corners of Yin Yi's mouth twisted, and his expression was very human-like, showing displeasure.
This caused the other wolves to look at Yin Yi frequently and imitate his expressions.
So when Ye Zhizhi let go of Xiaohua and turned around, he saw a group of wolves with crooked mouths and squinting eyes.
?
Ye Zhizhi tilted his head, and a big question mark appeared on his little head.
What happened to the wolf? Its eyes and mouth are injured?
The gray wolf lying high on the rock: "..." It silently looked away.
It's unbearable to watch.
Although he didn't know why the wolves suddenly acted strangely, seeing that they returned to normal after a while, Ye Zhizhi didn't investigate further and just thought they were playing.
Ye Zhizhi knew that they couldn't go any further, so they had to return to the wolf pack's den after the wolves recovered from their injuries.
Plans always fail to keep up with changes.
No matter how well Ye Zhizhi plans, it will be disrupted by sudden accidents.
Although she felt a little regretful that she could not go on, it was only a little. She could not insist on letting the seriously injured wolves carry her to continue walking, nor would she abandon the wolves at this time.
Ye Zhizhi herself was also slightly injured, but compared with the wolves, her internal and external injuries were only minor.
Her external injuries were mostly from scrapes, while her internal injuries were from the shock she suffered when she was knocked flying and fell.
Although she cleverly used the monitor lizard to cushion most of the impact, it was impossible for her to remain uninjured after being thrown so far. Afterwards, she felt as if all her internal organs had shifted.
Ye Zhizhi couldn't help but wonder if all pythons had such a unique hobby?
I remember that the last time she suffered internal injuries, it was because Xiaohua knocked her away.
Of course, she didn't mean to blame anyone. After all, between getting injured and being eaten, any normal person would know the choice. She just thought about it in a nonsensical way.
Ye Zhizhi recalled the scene at that time and thought that the appearance of the black python seemed to be there to help them.
Thinking about the black python that left and never appeared again.
If it wanted to be the jackal, then the best time to do so would be when the wolves were seriously injured. However, it had no intention of taking advantage of the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. It seemed that it appeared simply to help them.
The giant lizard that the black python slapped away was attacking Xiaohua.
Is it because Xiaohua is of the same species as it?
Do snakes also have kinship?
Ye Zhizhi couldn't figure it out for a while.
She ordered Xiaohua to lie down and rest with the wolves.
The only uninjured gray wolf was patrolling nearby, driving away any animals that might threaten the pack.
Ye Zhizhi lay in bed for five days and recovered faster than a pack of wolves. He couldn't help but wander around the area, looking for edible plants and water sources.
She has been consuming the stored food these days. She has eaten most of the dried meat and fruits and has almost finished drinking the water.
She had to restock quickly.
Ye Zhizhi also wanted to visit the monitor lizard's nest.
They killed all the monitor lizards that came out, and they stayed here for so long, but no other monitor lizards came out to seek revenge. It can be seen that all the monitor lizards came out last time.
Unfortunately, she didn't know where the monitor lizard's nest was.
Perhaps because this area is made up of exposed rock and soil, and there is not much forest cover, the animals are very good at hiding and probably spend most of their time hiding in caves.
When it appears on the surface, the wind is very strong and can easily blow away the nearby air, making it impossible to find it.
When Ye Zhizhi was searching nearby, that vague gaze appeared again. She always felt that there was something beside her.
The other party seemed to have no ill intentions, but the hidden aura was too strong and she could not sense the other party's specific location.
Ye Zhizhi clenched the long dagger in his hand.
Her usual weapon, the dagger, had a chip on it after the battle with the group of giant lizards, and the sharp blade had bent, basically in a semi-wasteful state.
When Ye Zhizhi was recuperating, he even picked up a stone and sharpened it, but without professional tools, it didn't help much and it was still very dull.
She had no choice but to take out the long dagger with a curled blade that she had found earlier.
This long dagger didn't look very useful when it was picked up, but it was a weapon after all, so Ye Zhizhi finally put it away.
Compared to her blunt dagger, this long dagger can still be used after being straightened.
Ye Zhizhi used her hand directly. She thought that this long dagger was so tough that it should not break so easily. So she used her own strength to press her palm on the blade, applying force a little bit at a time, and slowly straightened the blade.
When Ye Zhizhi was doing it, a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead and his eyes were unblinking. It was not so easy to straighten the blade. The force had to be evenly distributed and brute force could not be used blindly, otherwise it would easily break. Ye Zhizhi instinctively felt that he had to take it slowly.
She straightened it a little bit every day, and finally succeeded in straightening it before coming out. Now it has become her new weapon.
Ye Zhizhi pretended to be casual, and from time to time she wandered to the crevices of the rocks or the blind spots behind, but she found nothing, as if the other party was playing hide-and-seek with her.
She stood on the rock and looked around. Perhaps the other party was not hiding around her, but was still some distance away.
Ye Zhizhi thought of the black python again.
She couldn't understand why the other party kept following them.
Could it be that like Xiaohua, the snake has been lonely for a long time and wants to make friends with them?
Are all the snakes here like this?
Substituting the black python for Xiaohua, Ye Zhizhi no longer felt that the black python was particularly scary.
It’s not a good idea to follow it secretly like this. She has to think of a way to lure the black python out.
The black python hiding behind a rock not far away moved its scarlet tongue slightly, silently detecting the nearby scent.
That little python didn’t come out?
This cub that has the scent of a small python has the smell of both the annoying biped and the wolf. The smell is so mixed, what kind of cub is it?
