Chapter 888: Night Terror

At night, the valley of death is peaceful and tranquil, the moonlight is sprinkled on the earth like water, as if to put a thin veil on the earth, unknown insects are chirping, occasionally one or two frightened birds fly into the sky, and then flutter until the ground disappears, the breeze blows, the water ripples on the lake, and the soft moonlight is reflected, the ripples are shining, and it is very beautiful.

A scattered bison appeared from the thick shade of the trees, walked slowly towards the lake, while looking left and right from time to time, obviously wanting to drink, came to the lake, the buffalo did not rush into the water, but carefully looked at the water, vigilantly poked its head into the water, and then came back, and so on several times, seeing that there was no danger, only then carefully began to drink.

At this time, there was a sudden "whoosh" in the quiet lake, stretching out a bloody mouth, and the frightened buffalo turned around and ran, but its hind legs were bitten by the bloody mouth, and the bloody mouth shook violently, splashing countless splashes, tearing the buffalo into the lake.

The buffalo didn't dare to be annoyed, struggling to get ashore, but unfortunately couldn't, the blood basin mouth suddenly opened, the buffalo's hind legs were free, desperately running to the shore, before he could run two steps, the throat position was bitten by the blood basin mouth, the buffalo kicked all fours, but unfortunately there was no result.

In the blink of an eye, the buffalo was dragged to the bottom of the water, and only the bubbles that bubbled up from time to time on the surface of the water were mixed with a large amount of red blood, and after a while there was no more movement, and the lake was quiet and peaceful again.

Looking at all these things that happened in the blink of an eye, Zao Wou-Ki was shocked, the bloody mouth under the water should be a crocodile, right? Such a strong explosive force, such a ferocious bite force, the strength of the adult buffalo to struggle is more than a thousand pounds, there is no way at all, there is no room for resistance, it is terrible.

The buffalo is the number one beast in this grassland, with a short temper, a pair of hard horns, and a huge size and greater strength, neither lions nor leopards dare to provoke an adult buffalo easily, but they did not expect to be dealt with by a crocodile that did not show much at all.

After Zao Wou-Ki had a clear understanding of the crocodile under the water, he made up his mind not to provoke it until he had to, and after waiting for a while, he found that something had surfaced in the distance, and the buffalo had also surfaced, and was eaten by several wild beasts.

After waiting for a while, Zao Wou-Ki felt that it was necessary to leave here, so he cautiously went in one direction, on the way, Zao Wou-Ki found a fat sand pheasant, the tree nail shot, directly wiped out, carried the sand grouse and continued to escape, until he reached the back of a hill, released his spiritual perception, and after making sure that there was no one around, he made some dry branches and piled them together.

Under the premise of no conditions, living in the wild is a very difficult thing, but this does not mean that Zao Wou-Ki found some flammable igniters, such as dead grass, dry leaves and thin branches, etc., and then found some hardwood, hardwood burns for a long time, the fire is large, and there is a lot of charcoal, like dry firewood close to the ground is not usable, the humidity is high, it is not easy to burn, and there is smoke, and it is very smoky.

After preparing all this, Zao Wou-Ki used his fingers, like steel claws, to quickly dig a pit about one meter in diameter and about thirty centimeters deep in a sheltered place, placed the ignition in the middle, and gently placed fine withered grass, dead leaves, and fine dry firewood on it, and then erected a larger and longer firewood to form a cone.

After doing all this, Zao Wou-Ki found a larger wooden stick, punched it down, and smashed a concave hole, with Zao Wou-ki's skills, even a steel plate could be concave, let alone a wooden stick? The other flammables are then placed in the recessed hole and spun with a piece of hardwood.

Drilling wood for fire is very primitive, but it is also very simple and effective, it can be used at any time, after a rotation, high-speed friction produces heat, the heat works on flammables, and soon reaches the boiling point, spontaneously combusted, with fire, the rest of the matter is easy to do, and after a while, a pile of fire is ignited.

So, Zao Wou-Ki made a simple shelf, twisted the neck of the sand chicken, took out the internal organs, did not pluck the hair, and put it directly on the fire to barbecue it, because the fire was in the pit, and there were sand chickens on it, the fire could not get up, and there were half-human shrubs all around, and it was difficult to distinguish when it was dark, and it could not be found at all until it was in front of him.

It was still a little cool at night, there was only a piece of linen cloth on his body, and there was a fire just to keep warm, Zao Wou-Ki collected a lot of dry firewood to use at night, and saw that the sand chicken was not yet ripe, so he continued to roast, while releasing his mental perception and carefully probing the surroundings, there were many people, but they all stayed in their own places and did not move.

The valley of death at night is even more terrifying than during the day, killing machines everywhere, any little scorpion can kill people, it is impossible to prevent it, there is no special situation, no one will walk around, this discovery made Zao Wou-Ki breathe a sigh of relief.

After a while, the sand chicken began to bubble with oil, the fragrance came out, Zao Wou-Ki didn't dare to roast again, the fragrance was scattered, it was easy to attract the attention of others, after taking the roast chicken away, he tore off one leg and smelled it, there was a faint fragrance, seven medium-cooked, and he couldn't take care of a lot, he swallowed it directly, the whole sand chicken had to weigh six or seven pounds, and he picked up the cooked place to eat, and it was enough for Zao Wou-Ki to eat enough, and the rest of the part could not be eaten, so he threw it aside.

After eating enough, Zao Wou-Ki rested for a while, and then practiced qigong, and in this valley of death, which was full of weirdness and horror, it was very important to stay in good condition at all times.

I don't know how long it took, I felt a little cold, and when I finished the work, there were only sporadic fires on the bonfire, and it was about to be extinguished, so I quickly added some flammable hay, and then put some branches, and the fire burned again, at this time, Zao Wou-Ki suddenly heard a faint sound, couldn't help but be stunned, and turned his head to look over.

I saw a hedgehog walking slowly not far away, because there was no attack on Zao Wou-ki, Zao Wou-ki's spiritual perception was not found, the hedgehog was the size of a basketball, and the thorns on his body were seven or eight inches long, exuding a cold light in the moonlight, which was very terrifying.

An animal that was not threatening to himself, Zao Wou-Ki didn't care too much, he was bored left and right, and couldn't help but look around, but found that the hedgehog came directly to the sand chicken he had eaten, and the rest of the sand chicken was raw meat that was not very cooked, and the hedgehog ate it with relish.

Seeing the thorns on the hedgehog's body as hard as iron, Zao Wou-Ki couldn't help but move, touched the tree nail on his body, poured his internal strength into it, and suddenly shook his hand, the tree nail sank into the greedy hedgehog's head like lightning, the hedgehog turned over directly in pain, struggling to escape, some powerless, and his body twitched a few times before he stopped moving.

The hardest part of the hedgehog is the thorns on the body, the head is very fragile, usually very careful, do not dare to stick out, only when eating, the head will stick out, a bit like the habit of a turtle, is a seven-inch tree nail through the head, where is there a chance to live?

After killing the hedgehog, Zao Wou-Ki immediately stepped forward, carefully carried the hedgehog over, went to the campfire, and carefully pulled out the thorns on the hedgehog one by one.

The weight and hardness of the thorns are much stronger than the tree nails, seven or eight inches long, this kind of thing is very good to be used as a safe, Zhao Wuji was very happy, there was nothing to do, so he collected a lot of hay next to him, and slowly weaved his pocket, so many thorns can't be held in his hands every day, right? There's got to be something.

Time slipped away slowly, and I don't know how long it took, Zao Wou-Ki looked at the moon in the sky, it was almost to the east, which showed that it would not be long before dawn, so he rested in the "Crouching Tiger style".

After a while, Zao Wou-Ki felt a fierce beast approaching in his sleep, and suddenly woke up, his power was running all over his body, looking around vigilantly, but he didn't find anything, his spiritual perception was released, and he keenly found that there were several life breaths like he was leaning over, and the characteristics of these life breaths were not like human beings.

"Huh?" Zao Wou-Ki was surprised, the whole person fell to the ground, burned the bonfire a little stronger, held his breath, and waited patiently, after a while, a few yellow lights appeared in the bushes in front of him, which were extremely terrifying, and these yellow lights did not continue to approach, but wandered around.

Zao Wou-Ki saw with his eyes, it was a few jackals, jackals have the habit of hunting at night, their noses are very sensitive, and they can feel the direction of their prey from a long distance, Zao Wou-Ki was puzzled, there were still some people hiding a kilometer away from him, could it be that these people were killed by jackals? Otherwise, why didn't there be a sound?

Just thinking about it, Zao Wou-Ki keenly heard some wolf howls and the shouts of some people fighting, it seems that there are a lot of jackals coming, and some people are fighting with jackals. These jackals are too confident, aren't they?

Zao Wou-Ki couldn't help but sneer, just a few jackals, really didn't pay attention to it, just as Zao Wou-Ki was preparing to fight, he saw that those jackals did not attack, as if he was a little jealous?

Looking at the bonfire that was already burning, Zao Wou-Ki thought of something, animals are afraid of fire by nature, and these jackals are no exception, they dare not make a move without being sure, at this time, a few screams sounded in the distance, followed by an excited wolf howl, it seems that someone is not working.

Zao Wou-Ki simply burned the bonfire bigger, it was better to scare it away, it didn't matter if it was scared away or not, in the face of the jackal's night attack, no one could keep calm, the fire was big, these jackals began to take a few steps back, howled a few times in a low voice to each other, and actually retreated.

"Huh?" Zao Wou-Ki looked at these jackals suspiciously, at this time, a wolf howl suddenly sounded, echoing in this valley of death, very scary, several jackals heard the howl, they retreated five or six meters, actually turned around and ran, seeing Zao Wou-Ki stunned, what is going on?

Zao Wou-Ki stood up and found dozens of jackals running in one direction, several of which were still dragging their prey, looking extremely terrifying and strange in the moonlight.

"What's going on? Could it be that more beasts are coming? Zao Wou-Ki had lived in the primeval forest for a long time, and he still knew a little about the habits of wild beasts, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but have this idea in his mind, and quickly packed up some of his things and rushed in the direction where the jackal ran away.

Animals have the instinct to avoid danger, since the jackal chose this direction, it means that this direction is safe, and the opposite direction is dangerous, which Zao Wou-Ki still understands, in order to avoid accidents, Zao Wou-Ki runs fast, and his mental perception is released, and he finds that there are a few people who are also running in this direction, and he is obviously also a good hand who knows how to survive in the wild.

This night has passed, it is really terrifying, one moment it is a crocodile, another time it is a jackal, and now there is something that even a large number of jackals have to dodge I don't know what it is, is it too terrifying? Zao Wou-Ki was frustrated, but helpless.
