Chapter 10 Into the Famine
The sun has set, dusk is fading, and darkness is coming. The earth sleeps, and all things are silent. Dense fog envelops the mountains and forests, the moon hides in the clouds, and the stars dot the night sky.
The boy slipped out of the silent village and looked at the deep forest road ahead by the faint light of the stars. It was like a beast's mouth, and anyone who entered it would be devoured by it and never come back!
Tightening the tattered leather cloth bag tied to his back, Zhang Chen looked back at the village deeply, and then turned his head and ran towards the forest.
I'm sorry father, elder grandfather...... Just let me bring my mother back alone!
This is something he decided after careful consideration, the elder is too old to go into the wilderness to save people, and he does not have the ability.
And his father has already been selected as the heir to the village chief, and he will officially become the village chief in a few days!
Since the incident of the old village chief, it is absolutely impossible for the people in the village to allow Zhang Ze to take risks. This is their backbone, and they can't let him have an accident again.
Zhang Ze was forced to be helpless, and he cared about everyone in the village, so the matter of saving people could only be delayed again and again. Otherwise, with his temper, he would have killed the Huangtian Clan again a long time ago, and he would not sigh every day.
With a psychology of not being afraid of heaven and earth, Zhang Chen broke into the forest alone.
The night is the world of the night walkers!
The panther crouched quietly on the ground waiting for its prey, the bat leaped above to scan everything, and the owl looked coldly at the creatures on the ground. Listen to the roar of the beast in your ears and the rustle of leaves. Every sound stirred Zhang Chen's nerves.
By the faint light of the stars, he picked up a slightly thicker branch from the ground, held it tightly to his chest, and cautiously leaned forward.
I don't know how long I walked, looking at the road behind him except for trees or trees, Zhang Chen couldn't help but feel a little homesick......
The dense foliage blocked the sky, so that the faint light in the sky could not shine in, and it was pitch black in front of him, which made Zhang Chen extremely frightened.
"No, no, my mother hasn't been rescued yet, how can I go home!" he said, patting his little face lightly with his hand to cheer himself up. Spotting a direction, he ran forward.
Good luck always doesn't favor the young man who has just entered the wilderness, I don't know how long he ran, he heard a sound, and leaned in the direction of the sound with some curiosity, and met a jackal who was preying on rabbits.
The jackal's gray-black fur would not have been able to see where it had not been for its glowing green eyes at night! It was six feet long, and its limbs were extremely strong.
When the jackal saw Zhang Chen who had broken into his prey range, he paused at his feet, and the rabbit suddenly caught the opportunity to run away with a fierce jump.
Seeing that the prey that was already within reach disappeared into the grass in the blink of an eye, the fierce light in its eyes turned directly to Zhang Chen.
Looking at the jackal who turned his gaze to him, Zhang Chen's face was nervous, his face turned pale, and he said with a reluctant smile: "Ahem, I said it's none of my business...... Believe it or not......"
The stick in his hand became the only support in his hand, and he licked his dry lips, and he felt his legs tremble.
The killing intent in the jackal's eyes emerged, and he watched Zhang Chen slowly take steps.
It took a step forward, and Zhang Chen trembled and took a step back.
Suddenly, the wolf's speed began to increase, and a jump flew towards Zhang Chen!
Looking at the jackals getting closer and closer, Zhang Chen thought a little desperately: "Could it be ...... Am I going to die on the first day I go out in the mouth of this beast?"
No...... I can't die here!
His mother still has to wait for his rescue, and his father doesn't know that he went to the Great Wilderness alone, and the elders' expectations have not been met, how can he die here?!
Just as he was anxious, the wolf was already rushing towards him with its bloody mouth wide open.
Zhang Chen hurriedly leaned back, kicked the wolf's stomach by inertia, and then took advantage of its fall, hurriedly fled not far away and stood up.
The jackal shook its body, and although it was not injured, the fierce light in its eyes became more intense.
Oh!
After a howl, the jackal pounced on Zhang Chen again!
Zhang Chen kept forcing himself to calm down, because only in this way could he have a chance to survive!
Staring at the jackal, he clenched the thick stick in his hand, and when it pounced, he swung it violently and smashed downward, only to hear the sound of breaking through the air and roaring out, and the stick broke in response, and the jackal was also knocked down.
Throwing away the broken stick in his hand, Zhang Chen seemed to be cheering himself up, and shouted loudly:
"I'm not afraid of you!"
The jackal seemed to be furious by this weak creature, and its claws dug deep into the ground, crashing into Zhang Chen like a cannonball.
"Poof!"
Zhang Chen, who was hit, instantly flew out like a broken sack and smashed into a big tree, spurting out a mouthful of blood!
The wolf saw the right moment and bullied himself.
Zhang Chen only felt that his internal organs were like burning, looked at the jackal who came over, spat a mouthful of blood foam and threw himself into the battle with this beast again, they were one person and one beast, and they came and went, without showing weakness.
I saw that Zhang Chen sometimes slammed his fists and violently pounded the jackal's head to gain the upper hand. At some times, the jackal swung out with a claw, and Zhang Chen's body was covered with flesh and blood!
The battle like a death knock made Zhang Chen like a beast, his eyes turned red, and he only had one idea now!
Stay alive!
......
The jackal threw Zhang Chen to the ground, and opened its bloody mouth to bite Zhang Chen! He had no doubt that the beast's mouth could easily bite off his head.
Desperately put his hand against its chin, once he let go, then his life will be confessed here!
Suddenly, as if struck by something, the jackal turned its head to look away......
Zhang Chen seized the opportunity and punched the jackal in the stomach, then rolled over and straddled the jackal's body, and then slammed his fists again and hammered at the jackal.
It was beaten by Zhang Chen and howled, constantly struggling to throw him down, but Zhang Chen desperately clamped his legs and couldn't shake him off.
I don't know how many times he swung his fist, and seeing that the wolf finally stopped moving, Zhang Chen stood up from its body with trembling arms, looking at the jackal whose head was already sparsely shattered, he gasped for breath.
Before he could fully recover his senses, a roar exploded in his ears, like a muffled thunder in the sky!
Zhang Chen couldn't hold back the desire to lie down directly, and dragged his tired body to climb a towering tree.
Prostrate on the tree, the dense foliage covering his figure, which made Zhang Chen feel a little more at ease.
Tonight was the most tense time since he was born, and it was also the first time he had faced and felt death. Listening to the roar in his ears getting closer and closer, his heart couldn't help but beat faster.
Picking away the leaves, he stole his eyes at the ground.
I saw a blood-red, mountain-like monster approaching and slowly emerging from the woods. Looking at the corpse of the jackal on the ground, whose blood had not yet dried up, he grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing the monster chewing on the corpse of the jackal, and the way blood slowly flowed from the corners of its mouth, Zhang Chen's stomach churned, but the monster ate with relish.
In a few moments, the monster ate the wolf whole.
Then I saw the monster's nose twitch, and I watched it slowly grope its way to the tree where it was hiding.
Zhang Chen was shocked, as if he remembered something, and looked at his arm.
His hands were stained with the blood of the jackal, and his arms were slashed open by the brute's claws, and blood gushed out.
He was anxious in his heart, this monster must have been led here by blood!
Seeing the monster getting closer and closer, sweat slowly condensed on Zhang Chen's forehead.
I heard a wailing sound in the distance, and the ground suddenly shook like an earthquake. The monster seemed to see what scared him, and no longer approached Zhang Chen's big tree, and fled in a hurry.
Zhang Chen exhaled lightly, very happy.
At this point, I relaxed, and I only felt dizzy. He shook his head, knowing that he couldn't sleep here, or he would be discovered by a viper or some other creature.
Jumping off the tree, he fell to his knees, sweat dripping from his cheeks onto the ground.
The Great Wilderness is terrifying, this is his first thought. How many miles have you traveled? and you have encountered such a terrible crisis, and if you go forward, God knows what else you will encounter?!
Looking at the path he had come, and then at the quiet darkness ahead, he was in a dilemma for a while.
After a pause, he stood up with the help of the big tree, and then bit the tip of his tongue and roared in a low voice: "Fight! If you don't find your mother, you won't look back, even if you die!"
What has he been doing for the past five years? Isn't it just to be able to find his mother after becoming stronger?
No, he Zhang Chen should not be a coward! Although he is only eight years old, there are no cowards in the men of my deserted village!
Untying the raged leather cloth bag he was carrying, he took out a cold pancake and ate it in large gulps, carefully watching the bushes around him that might emerge at any moment.
After eating the pancakes with difficulty, Zhang Chen also regained some physical strength.
This time it was really exciting for him, fighting jackals, hiding monsters! Every time it seemed to challenge his spiritual bottom line, he almost went crazy!
This is not a dead thing hunted back by those uncles, but it was killed by Zhang Chen's own hands, and the feeling is completely different.
"I don't know why the jackal was ......stunned at that time," Zhang Chen suddenly wondered.
"Forget it, don't bother with it!" "Since the jackal is dead, then why should he bother with these anymore, now it is more important to recover his spirit!
"Huh, I must find a place to rest, otherwise I will die in this great wilderness!" Zhang Chen muttered to himself, and then walked deeper step by step with difficulty.
In the distant tree, a green creature poked its head out, looked at Zhang Chen's back as it gradually moved away, and said, "It seems to be a little obvious, but ...... The show has just begun!"
