177 Wilderness Survival
◎Too weak.◎
Ye Zhizhi had already made up her mind that she would go back with them after Qin Fei's injury got better.
After that, he stayed near the cave and did not run out again, staying with Xiaohua inseparable.
Lin Duoyu has made up her mind to go out. She knows very clearly that the leaves that have walked out of the jungle need her. This makes her full of fighting spirit and she no longer rejects returning to human society.
Since he was going back, Lin Yuyu's daily focus was on making dried meat and fruit, as well as consciously packing and organizing the things he would need for the trip.
As for the animal skins that were hung out to dry, Lin Duoyu was reluctant to throw them away. In her heart, these were things that Ye Zi had made especially for her. This was Ye Zi's intention. Lin Duoyu could only wonder if she could take them away when she left.
Qin Fei's injuries were getting better day by day. It was obvious that the wounds were healing and he no longer needed crutches. He just walked with a noticeable limp, but he himself did not feel anything unusual. Instead, he slowly began to train his hands and feet and his reaction ability.
He has been lying down for so many days that his bones have become stiff.
Ye Zhizhi took a few glances at Qin Fei when he was changing the bandage on himself. This human's physical fitness was indeed amazing. Even with such a serious injury, he could recover so quickly.
Qin Fei's head also recovered well. He focused on recuperation and the adverse reactions have obviously subsided.
After knowing that the man and the snake were both nearby, he expanded his range of activities and went for a walk in the jungle.
In Qin Fei's inference, powerful animals in the jungle will have their own territory, and Ye Zi and Xiao Hua are so powerful that they are obviously the best in the jungle. Therefore, the cave and the nearby forest should be their territory.
As long as he doesn't go too far and doesn't leave their territory, he won't be in any danger.
He had been to the jungle several times, both on missions and for personal reasons, but the forest he was most familiar with was not in this area.
Qin Fei only judged that it should be a place closer to the territory of another country, but he had never been here before.
Qin Fei realized from the mountain and forest environment that this place had already gone deep into a deeper and more dangerous place, which was not easily entered by ordinary people.
No wonder the leaves have not been discovered for so many years. This is not an area where humans often move around. Occasionally, humans who come deep into here are unlikely to get out. This can be seen from the human bones seen from time to time in the jungle.
Qin Fei observed and silently memorized the terrain of this mountain forest.
This is a long-standing habit of theirs that increases their chances of survival.
Just as Qin Fei was about to continue into the jungle, his back suddenly tensed up. He turned around abruptly and saw Ye Zhizhi standing on the giant python's head, looking down at him.
Ye Zhizhi tilted his head, yelped, and looked at me with a warning.
Qin Fei's pair of black eyes were filled with smiles. "Are you saying it's dangerous outside?"
Ye Zhizhi nodded. He knew that you, as a human, were very powerful, but you couldn’t run around. Your injuries hadn’t healed yet, so don’t get new ones. She was still waiting for him to take them out!
"I didn't run around." Qin Fei looked up and explained, "I came here specifically to find you."
Ye Zhizhi looked puzzled.
"I want to come out with you guys and see what it's like. Don't worry, I won't hold you back."
Although Qin Fei was still injured, his combat effectiveness had recovered to about 60% to 70%. He thought that he could not always rely on others for food, especially since he knew that the jungle was very dangerous.
Lin Duoyu can show his value. As a grown man, he cannot feel at ease to be a waste. He was injured too badly some time ago and there was nothing he could do.
Ye Zhizhi understood what Qin Fei meant. He wanted to join her hunting team and help her.
Ye Zhizhi did not refuse. She had never seen this human's skills before, so she wanted to get a feel for him.
So she asked Qin Fei to follow.
Xiaohua refused to take him with her. Her mind was still full of thoughts of eating this human, and the snake's instinct could sense that he was a threat to her. After all, they had been together for a few days, so Xiaohua suppressed her instinct to attack.
Although she wanted to see his skills, Ye Zhizhi had no intention of changing her mind. After all, there was still a lot of time and there would always be opportunities in the future. Besides, this human's upper body was not fully recovered yet. If she wanted to compete with him, it would be suspected of bullying.
They have been eating animal meat these days, and Ye Zhizhi wants to change the taste, so he plans to go fishing in the river.
After she leaves in a few days, we may not be able to eat the fish here for a long time.
Although the fish in the river are not as delicious as those small silver fish, the meat quality is also good.
Xiaohua and Ye Zhizhi rushed forward quickly, and Qin Fei limped behind them, and surprisingly did not lose them. They soon reached the river, and the man and the snake rushed directly into the water without stopping. It was too late for Qin Fei to stop them.
Qin Fei wanted to say that the water was dangerous, but when he walked quickly to the riverside, the leaves and flowers that had dived into the water appeared on the water surface at a considerable distance from the shore, and then swam happily around.
Qin Fei's heart, which had been raised high, slowly fell. Yes, this bottomless river was very dangerous for humans. They would be attacked by creatures in the water, but they would not necessarily attack them.
I didn’t expect that they could dominate not only the jungle, but also the water.
Qin Fei watched the man and the snake playing from afar, and soon dived into the water again, leaving only ripples on the surface.
Seeing that they seemed unlikely to return for a while, he walked aside and casually sat down on a rock by the river bank. He leaned forward slightly and saw his blurry face reflected in the water.
Qin Fei touched his unshaven chin. No wonder he was called uncle. His current appearance was really hard to compliment.
Qin Fei leaned over slightly and washed his face, then took out a small knife from his body, shaved his beard clean, washed his face again, unbuttoned his shirt and washed it.
The hideous wound on his waist and abdomen had already scarred, so it wouldn't affect him washing his body now.
Although his clothes had many holes and he looked like a beggar, it was his only piece of clothing after all, and he couldn't run around naked. After washing his shirt, Qin Fei wrung it dry and hung it out in the sun to dry.
Then he picked up a long, straight branch, tied the knife tightly to one end with a vine, and then stood on the rock by the water, staring intently at the water with his sharp eyes.
Qin Fei's tall and strong body was motionless, like a sculpture. After an unknown amount of time, the wooden stick in his hand suddenly pierced into the water like lightning. When he rose again, a big fish weighing more than ten pounds was hanging on the top of the stick, swinging desperately.
Qin Fei withdrew his hand, and the muscles in his arm, which were not exaggerated, bulged, making him look very powerful.
He tied the fish's gills with vines, threw it on the shore, and prepared to catch the next one.
Suddenly, his eyes focused, and he quickly moved to the side, turned around, and stabbed out with the wooden stick in his hand.
The giant beast that pounced on him silently dodged quickly and landed on the shore with a nimble leap.
The giant beast failed to hit the target with its first attack, and its eyes turned cold and fierce. It crouched down and attacked again.
This is - a wolf!
Qin Fei's eyes were sharp, a knife appeared in his hand, and all the muscles in his body tensed up.
Wolves usually travel in packs, and since one wolf has appeared, it means that there are more wolves nearby.
When Ye Zi was not in the cave, Qin Fei would occasionally hear wolves howling, but the sound was quite far away from the cave, and he thought that wolves would not appear in Ye Zi's territory.
Sure enough, more than ten wolves appeared near the river bank and surrounded him.
Qin Fei's expression was solemn. These wolves were not easy to deal with, and he couldn't handle them alone.
Especially the largest wolf among them, with its undisguised murderous aura.
The giant wolf bared its sharp teeth and attacked again.
Qin Fei was about to jump into the water to avoid it when he heard an angry roar. The next moment, a man and a snake jumped out of the water. The thick and long snake tail swept over and knocked Qin Fei directly into the water.
Ye Zhizhi stared at the wolf leader with her teeth bared. She had already declared that this human was under her protection, but the leader still tried to snatch her things again and again, which made her feel uneasy.
The wolf pack in front of him was none other than the leader and his subordinates.
Ye Zhizhi originally asked the leader to keep an eye on the bad guys, but he handed this task over to other wolves and ran back secretly.
The leader did not dare to appear in front of Ye Zhizhi and kept avoiding him carefully. However, he smelled the scent of the two-legged beast that made him feel threatened, which was a temptation to the wolf pack.
They couldn't help but follow the scent secretly, even though they smelled the faint scent of the little bully and the giant python, but there was only this two-legged beast on the river bank.
So the leader couldn't help but attack, and was caught by Ye Zhizhi.
The leader subconsciously took two steps back, and the other wolves also tucked their tails between their legs and retreated behind the leader.
Ye Zhizhi roared angrily and rushed forward to try to beat the leader.
The leader was already frightened by Ye Zhizhi. He held back his howls for mercy and tried to turn around and run away, but before he could take two steps, Ye Zhizhi caught up with him and rode on his back.
“Ahhhh——”
The wolves watched their leader being beaten and howled, and couldn't help but exchange glances.
Wolf One: The leader has been beaten, shall we go up?
Wolf Two: But the leader didn’t summon us.
Wolf Three: Let’s just wait and see.
This was the scene Qin Fei saw when he climbed out of the water. The originally brutal siege suddenly changed its style.
The giant wolf that he was very afraid of was screaming under Ye Zhizhi, while the other wolves just watched from the side without attacking. They even retreated and walked around when the man and the wolf got close to them.
Xiaohua raised her head high and hissed continuously, as if cheering for Ye Zhizhi.
Finally, the leader and his men fled quickly and disappeared into the jungle in a blink of an eye.
Ye Zhizhi put his hands on his hips and cursed loudly.
If you dare to attack her humans again, she won't let you off so easily!
Qin Fei has always been puzzled. Apart from hissing with Xiaohua, Ye Zi mostly howled.
Now he finally understood. He thought Ye Zi was a snake girl, but it turned out she was a wolf girl.
This wolf pack was obviously very familiar with Ye Zi. Perhaps she had been with the wolf pack for so many years in the jungle.
What Qin Fei had thought was unreasonable before now had a reasonable explanation. The cave could not accommodate a snake, and Xiaohua must have other caves to survive the rainy season and winter. Perhaps Ye Zi originally stayed with the wolf pack, but later separated and moved out to live on his own.
It is more likely that even the leaves did not spend the rainy winter in that cave.
However, Qin Fei had no intention of delving into it further.
After Ye Zhizhi finished yelling, he turned around and asked Qin Fei: Are you hurt?
However, when he saw the face of the man in front of him clearly, Ye Zhizhi tilted his head, his eyes showing confusion: Who are you?
Qin Fei noticed Ye Zhizhi's casual look at him and hurriedly put on his wet shirt.
Ye Zhizhi sniffed and after making sure that the scent had not changed, he moved forward, raised his head, and stared at his face, as if he had become a different person.
Qin Fei was 1.88 meters tall, and Ye Zhizhi looked very petite standing in front of him. He lowered his head and asked with a smile, "Can't you recognize her?"
Qin Fei's eyes are long and narrow with deep pupils, which is a very impactful eye shape. When his eyebrows and eyes reveal a smile, this impact is weakened, but his handsome features still give people a sense of impact. Even his tanned skin does not affect his good looks at all.
If he cleans up a bit, he should look younger, right? He's not an uncle, is he?
However, Ye Zhizhi was thinking, what's the point of changing a face? It would be better to change to a stronger body. This body looked strong, but unexpectedly it was so useless. It couldn't even beat a wolf. It was too weak.
Of course, Ye Zhizhi was just thinking about it. Facing so many tough wolves, it was already good enough that he could still have some ability to protect himself. He couldn't ask for too much.
