Chapter Forty-Eight: Killing the Wolf

Fortunately, there was a light source for torches now, Chen Chao did not choose to look back, but closed his eyes slightly.

There are only a limited number of places that can be illuminated by the torches, but the distance is already so close, Chen Chao can still clearly see that behind him is a giant wolf with a bloody mouth wide open!

Just waiting for himself to turn around, "Gaba," swallowed into his stomach without even chewing his head and neck.

Without having time to think about it, Chen Chao quickly changed the position of the stone axe and the torch, and the torch was first stuffed backwards.

The giant wolf who ate a lot of fire shook his head and threw the torch out fiercely, and Chen Chao took advantage of this last bit of light, held the stone axe with both hands, and slashed at the throat of the giant wolf from the bottom to the top with his backhand.

Then he quickly drew the stone axe and slashed at the claws that the giant wolf had swept out. The torch was finally extinguished, and Chen Chao's vision went dark.

In the dark, Chen Chao could only hear the heavy panting of the giant wolf, and he carefully touched the trunk of the tree behind him, listening carefully to the movement of the giant wolf.

He was afraid that the axe just now would not end the giant wolf, so he groped and slashed several times, and he didn't know where he hit, he could only hear the sound of the axe entering the flesh.

After waiting for a while, he didn't hear any movement, so Chen Chao groped in the rattan basket for spare torches and spare wood needed to drill wood for fire.

He gasped and untied the rattan basket in the dark, crouched on the ground and was about to start making a fire. Before the fire was lit, he did not dare to rest immediately, nor did he dare to run around.

I'm worried that after this encouragement of my own is slackened all of a sudden, something will come after me, and I will be able to kill myself. Also worried about those pythons or other large animals that may be watching in the dark.

Listening to the crackling sound of the torch, Chen Chao also sat on the ground. It doesn't matter if there will be any slimy and wet poisonous snakes, after the high tension just now, he can't lift a little strength now.

Reaching out to untie the pig urine bubble on his waist, Chen Chaolian first drank a few large mouthfuls of water, and then stuffed the salted meat into his mouth indiscriminately, and then drank a few large mouthfuls of water, and then felt a little relieved.

He crawled over to look at the wolf corpse not far away, the entire head of the giant wolf was about to be cut off by him, and only a small piece of skin was attached to the neck. The claws were also chopped off in half, and I should have wanted to fight back at the beginning, but I was broken by my own axe.

Chen Chao said secretly, it's dangerous.

After the body regained some strength, the wolf corpse was gone, and Chen Chao ran out of the forest with two rattan baskets on his back.

Fortunately, there was no danger on the road behind, and the two-in-one torch was also very durable, thanks to the fact that this forest was not as big as expected, Chen Chao finally walked out of this black forest after the second torch burned out.

After running out of the dark forest, Chen Chao breathed a sigh of relief, he put the extinguished torch on the ground, took out the pig urine bubble, shook it, and found that there was no water inside.

Looking at the sky, the sun has tilted to the west, and it seems that I can't reach my destination today. But it's okay, you can make some preparations here now.

Chen Chao first looked for a nearby water source, and after walking about a kilometer, he found a small river, which was only about a dozen kilometers away from the small grassland on the map.

People can walk about 50 kilometers a day, which is ideal, but you have to count the possible emergencies, including physical exertion and so on.

Today it took too much time in the first forest, making torches in the early stage and various emergencies in the back, etc., but if you can really catch a wild horse, then the time consumed now is nothing.

Generally, a good horse can walk 270-350 miles a day, that is, 140-170 kilometers. But the Xian tribe is two hundred kilometers away from the Tianyuan tribe, and even if you ride slowly, you can reach it in a day and a half. And if you have horses, you can transport more things, and manpower is limited after all.

Chen Chao walked to the river, put down the rattan basket first, and then burned a pot of salted meat and cabbage porridge. However, after such a large amount of exercise, it is best to eat dry rice. But Xiaoshi has already woken up once today, and maybe he will wake up again later. He had been hungry for too long, and he had to be fed rice soup all the time, and he had not been well replenished at all.

I just woke up today, I should be able to eat some porridge with soup and water, Chen Chao deliberately tore the salted meat to pieces, and so did the cabbage, try to tear it to pieces, so that it is convenient to swallow when the stone is eaten.

Sure enough, before the salted pork porridge was cooked, Shi woke up, and he looked at the man in front of him with wide eyes, and then at the sunset on the horizon, as if he hadn't realized where he was now.

But the fragrant salted meat and cabbage porridge next to him attracted him, and his eyes stared at the steaming clay pot without blinking, and the red flame under the clay pot, this flame was like the sun in the sky.

Chen Chao took him out of the rattan basket and put him on the ground, and then took off his own animal skin and wrapped it around his body. After the salted pork porridge was cooked, he first poured out some rice soup, blew it cold and fed it to Xiaoshi to drink.

After the porridge in the pot was warm, he poured two more small bowls for Xiaoshi, he had just woken up, and he had been hanging on to rice soup before, so he couldn't eat too much at once.

Look at the small river, not far from the jujube trees and pomegranate trees.

Pomegranates are the kind of small pomegranate trees, the kind that can catch five or six in one palm. It was blue before it was ripe, but when it was ripe, it was yellow, and it can still be seen on the edge of ponds in many rural areas.

After Chen Chao drank the salted meat and cabbage porridge, he felt that he was still not full, so he cooked himself a pot of salted meat and cabbage dry rice before going to the pond to pick fruits and small pomegranates.

After picking a few first, wash them in water and eat them directly in your mouth. Xiaoshi couldn't eat these things yet, but Chen Chao still pinched a small point and put it in his mouth, letting him play with it and taste it by the way.

Early the next morning, Chen Chao picked a bunch of fruits and put them in the rattan basket. Since the small stone has woken up, the rattan basket on the back can make a lot of space, and there are also a lot of Chinese cabbage and bacon that have been eaten recently, and there are also some places to hold small pomegranates and dates.

With the pig urine bubble filled with water, Chen Chao took the small stone and set off, but the small stone couldn't go too far, so he walked for a while, and then Chen Chao put him on his neck and sat for a while.

After walking about five or six kilometers, we came to the second forest in our destination. This forest is obviously much more normal, because there is a small river nearby, so the biological chain here is relatively intact.

Walking in the woods, you can see small squirrels and rabbits scurrying by from time to time, and even a few lynx walking alone, and monkeys swinging around in the trees, but you have not seen any larger animals yet.

Seeing vines wrapped around trees or shrubs, Chen Chao carefully collected them, and if possible, he would collect as many large stones as possible.

After exiting the forest, continue in a northeasterly direction, where the terrain is already flat. Trees also gradually sparse, and it took a long distance to see a single tree, which began to take its place with large areas of grass and scattered bushes.

From a distance, you can see a round lake in the middle of the whole meadow, and a small herd of wild horses is leisurely drinking water by the lake. This is supposed to be the small herd of mustangs that the electronic voice says. In addition to wild horses, Chen Chao also saw a few fluffy grass mud horses and sheep, and a few wild donkeys, but they didn't have as many small wild horses.

In addition to this, there are various small creatures, and the most common creatures are the herds of marmots.

They often stand up and stand guard in the grass, looking around for the enemy, and at the sight of eagles hovering in the sky, or at the slightest disturbance they burrow into their holes.

But there are also those who are not afraid of the eagle at all, and when they saw a black shadow above them, they straightened up and shouted with the eagle, no, after a while, the groundhog whined.

In addition, there are gray-haired hares that run fast, which should be similar to the species Chen Chao saw in the forest. The rabbits were obviously much more stupid, and after the eagles had taken several rabbits, they scattered in a hurry.

Originally, he wanted to make a set of poles, but the things needed to make a set of poles were more troublesome. Under the current conditions, it is basically the first to be excluded. The slings may not be of much use, but he still collected some materials, which is better than nothing.

Whether it is a horse pole, a sling, or even a straw rope around the waist, it is not the main combat force this time.

Looking at the two fruits in the rattan basket, Chen Chao thought of his plan and couldn't help laughing.
