26. Fire
Bai Zhan saw Xiao Budian's stunned and deeply stricken look, thinking that she was frightened, her big palm fell on Mao Nian's head and rubbed it gently, "Don't be afraid, as long as you don't get close to those stones, it'll be fine." ”
Originally, it was just a simple comfort, but when the palm touched the soft and small hairy ears, Bai Zhan was a little unable to hold it, and he wanted to turn into a beast and pounce and bite and rub!
Fortunately, Mao Nian came back to his senses in time, "I, I want to go and see what those stones look like." ”
"Nope."
Hearing the non-refusal in Bai Zhan's words, the hairy ears on the cat's head moved, and he was very entangled.
She wanted to find out if the stone expelled by the man-eating wasp was a flint, and if so, at least she wouldn't have to look at the meat anymore.
Bai Zhan noticed Mao Nian's absent-mindedness, frowned and picked up Mao Nian and looked directly into her eyes, "Don't mess around this time." ”
"I see." Cat Nian replied absentmindedly.
In her heart, she was thinking about the more ancient way of drilling wood for fire, she could probably give it a try, but now from Bai Zhan's attitude, it seems that she can't try it for the time being.
Oh, melancholy! ╮(╯3╰)╭
After the rain stopped, another batch of man-eating bees came about half an hour later, and the number was still not very large, and Bai Zhan easily solved it alone.
The cat stayed sleepy in the hollow of the tree, until a deafening buzz sounded in her ears again.
She jerked her head up and looked at the man-eating bees flying towards her in the distance, and her body almost stiffened with fright.
Bai Zhan obviously didn't expect so many man-eating bees to come suddenly, he turned into a beast almost instantly, ran to the tree hole, and roared anxiously: "Come on my back." ”
Mao Nian didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly climbed up with both hands and feet, his hands and feet tightly wrapped around Bai Zhan's body, and his face was blown by the cold wind.
She hurriedly buried her face in Bai Zhan's hairy neck, and finally felt a lot better, but the buzzing sound behind her still made her scalp tingle.
Mao Nian knew that these man-eating bees were probably eyeing her and Bai Zhan.
But no matter how fast Bai Zhan was, he couldn't stand the large number of man-eating bees and had two pairs of wings, and they were soon surrounded by this group of cunning man-eating bees, really surrounded by dense man-eating bees on all sides!
Mao Nian panted and lay on Bai Zhan's back, thinking of his possible death, his body couldn't stop trembling.
"I feel like I've committed a phobia of intensity." It took several breaths to finish the sentence.
Bai Zhan's amber eyes glowed with a fierce light that Mao Nian had never seen before, and said, "They will tease their prey until the last moment before they start eating." ”
Mao Nian: "......" QAQ
It's so cruel, not only to be eaten but also teased!
Bai Zhan said again: "There is a pond in this area, and you will jump into the pond when you have the opportunity." ”
"What about you?"
It's a pity that she didn't wait for Bai Zhan's answer, Bai Zhan had already jumped high, and his sharp claws swept directly past, and six or seven man-eating wasps were affected, but their injuries were not serious.
By the time Bai Zhan quickly launched the next wave of attacks, these man-eating wasps had already buzzed into the sky again.
Mao Nian was tightly wrapped around Bai Zhan's body, she felt that she couldn't hear anything in her ears except buzzing, and even countless stitches had been stung on her back and arms.
It's better to be stung than eaten bite!
Bai Zhan's speed was very fast, and he also killed a lot of man-eating bees along the way, and the pond soon appeared in sight.
Bai Zhan's calm roar came, "Let go of your hand." ”
Mao Nian let go of her hand almost subconsciously, and then she felt her body fly out, and after hitting the bodies of countless man-eating wasps, she slammed into the water.
Even a few man-eating bees also entered the water, probably a little scared when they entered the water, and several man-eating bees were all tightly attached to Mao Nian's body, and Mao Nian could even feel his skin being bitten.
The fall into the water was too sudden, and the oxygen in the cat's mouth was soon insufficient, and he hurriedly struggled to expose his head to the water, and saw man-eating bees densely gathered on the shore, and there were not many on the water?
Not daring to stay on the surface of the water for too long, Mao Nian took a deep breath of fresh air, and immediately plunged into the water again, reaching out to tear off the man-eating wasps on his arms and thighs.
Mao Nian immediately looked around, but he didn't see Bai Zhan's figure for a long time.
Could it be that the white war is still on the shore?!
Mao Nian chuckled in her heart, frightened by her own thoughts, but the chaotic sound of fighting outside still came to her ears.
Bai Zhan is going to be eaten by a man-eating bee?!
The thought grew like weeds in Maonian's mind, and she finally couldn't stay any longer, and swam in the direction of the shore with her little short legs.
When she was about to go ashore, Mao Nian's heart began to beat wildly, and her body involuntarily tensed.
The buzz of the man-eating bee flapping its wings made Mao Nian's courage extinguish again, but thinking that Bai Zhan was still fighting hard in the man-eating bee pile, she couldn't let herself dive into the water again.
has been in this world for so long, Bai Zhan is taking care of her, she can't, and she doesn't want to exchange Bai Zhan's life for her own life.
As soon as Mao Nian landed on the shore, she was discovered by the man-eating bees, she protected her face and squeezed into the bee pile, if she could find the flint, maybe there was a glimmer of life.
There are many man-eating bees that die under Bai Zhan's claws, and Mao Nian can definitely find them if he wants to find them, but there are too many man-eating bees alive.
The taste of flesh and blood being torn off alive is considered to be experienced by Mao Nian.
It hurts!
Only these four words can describe it.
It lasted for half a minute, and Mao Nian simply lay down directly, covering his face with one hand, and groping on the ground with the other.
It worked, and she quickly found the body of the man-eating bee and the stone next to it.
"One more, one more." Mao Nian gasped, knelt down and moved forward a few more steps, and finally touched another stone.
The hand on her face must also be lowered, but if she takes it down, her face will inevitably be covered with man-eating bees.
But Mao Nian didn't have time to hesitate at all, she was afraid that if she was one step too late, she would either die by herself or die in vain.
As soon as the hand was taken away, the man-eating bee pounced on his face, and Mao Nian endured the heart-rending pain, pinched the flint and steel, and squeezed away the man-eating bee around the middle of the arm with trembling hands.
A small flame finally ignited in Mao Nian's hand.
She grabbed a man-eating bee from the ground, frantically rubbed the two flints against each other, ignited the man-eating bee and grabbed its wings with her hands, waving it around like crazy.
Fire is indeed the nemesis of the man-eating bee, and from the moment Mao Nian ignites the man-eating bee, all the man-eating bees that pounce on her will buzz away.
The cat stumbled forward with the burning man-eating bee, and wherever it went, the man-eating bee no longer dared to intercept it.
The man-eating bee in his hand was about to go out, so Mao Nian threw it on the corpse of another man-eating bee, and after the fire was ignited, he picked up the burning one and continued to walk.
By the time Bai Zhan's figure appeared in his sight, it was already five minutes later, and Bai Zhan's whole body was also bloody and miserable, and at this time, he was killing one of the man-eating bees surrounded by him under his claws with a fierce light.
When he felt the firelight, Bai Zhan turned his head suddenly, but found that it was Mao Nian, and his eyes froze.
As soon as Mao Nian saw Bai Zhan, the tears that he had just held back immediately fell down without money, and he stumbled over.
She was full of injuries on her body, the pain was terrible, and Bai Zhan was also injured, Mao Nian didn't dare to hug it at all, so she stood in front of Bai Zhan and cried.
Bai Zhan's gaze slowly fell on the burning man-eating bee in Mao Nian's hand, and then looked at the man-eating bees around him who didn't dare to surround him anymore, his eyes were very complicated.
The cat cried for a while and threw the man-eating bees on the ground, and the ground was full of man-eating bee corpses, and soon slowly got up, and the reluctant man-eating bee swarm finally flew away.
"It's good that these man-eating wasps have hairs on them." Mao Nian sobbed and intermittently to recklessly, trying to divert attention.
However, it should hurt heart-rending pain, and the physiological tears can't be stopped.
Bai Zhan hurriedly leaned his head over, carefully stretched out his tongue and licked the bloody wound on Mao Nian's arm.
Although saliva can be disinfected, there are barbs on Bai Zhan's tongue, and Mao Nian almost faints in pain, "Don't touch it, don't touch it!" ”
Bai Zhan didn't dare to lick it anymore, turned into a human form, and looked at the bloody wounds on Xiao Budian's white and tender skin, and the fierce light flashed in his eyes, but soon it all turned into distress.
He didn't dare to hug it, so he had to say, "You wait for me here, I'll go find that grass." ”
"Come back soon." The cat pursed its mouth.
"I see."
When Bai Zhan found Mugwort and came back, Mao Nian still maintained the same posture and remained motionless, she didn't dare to move, it was too painful.
In fact, Bai Zhan's body is not much better, his whole body is full of bloody wounds of all sizes, Mao Nian looked at it with tears in his eyes, and somehow he was happy, "Why are we so troubled, we were trapped by water a few days ago, and today we are besieged by man-eating bees." ”
Bai Zhan carefully applied the mugwort grass that had been crushed out of the juice to Mao Nian's face, and his expression was very gloomy.
The lines of his face were already a little stiff, but now his face is even more terrifying, but Mao Nian is not afraid at all at the moment, but comforts him, "I'm lucky not to die." ”
Bai Zhan pursed his lips and put mugwort grass on all the bloody wounds on Mao Nian's body without saying a word before he began to deal with the injuries on his body.
Mao Nian finally sat down tremblingly, her tears were already smudged, and she couldn't see Bai Zhan's face a little, "Why didn't you jump into the water just now?" ”
