Chapter 22: Distress in the Woods

The one-eyed wolf limped over to the corpse of one of the dire wolves, looked down and sniffed, paced and then moved on to the next one, and finally stood beside the dire wolf I had killed.

I realized that I had stabbed too hard just now, and almost the entire dagger was inserted, and now only the hilt was exposed.

The one-eyed wolf bit the hilt of the knife and flicked its head hard, pulling out the dagger. It turned to look at me, hesitated, and then walked towards me with a dagger in its hand.

The one-eyed wolf walked up to a meter away from me and stopped, looking up at me.

I've seen this scene in a dog training show, and it seems to be called "Attachment Training". Generally, the owner throws a frisbee out, and the dog will pick it up for the owner after catching it, and then wait for the owner to throw the frisbee out again......

Does it want to play with throwing knives?

The one-eyed wolf took another step forward, and I subconsciously took a step back. Although it saved me just now, I still can't help but feel stunned when I think of how desperately it once attacked me and Xiaofen.

It seemed to see my fear, and sat down, its back straight, and looked at me intently.

After a moment of hesitation, I trembled and reached out to take back the dagger and said, "Thank you......"

I retrieved my backpack and prepared to continue on my way, when I passed the cyclops wolf, it suddenly stood up, and I was so frightened that I immediately bounced away and clenched my dagger.

Seeing my reaction, the cyclops took a few steps back, then paced in place a few more times.

I stared at it vigilantly, its eyes didn't turn red, its teeth didn't come out, it didn't seem to drool, and its coat didn't blow up like a hedgehog. At the moment, he looked at me with a calm expression, tilting his head to look at me, and even a little cute.

Maybe this one-eyed wolf is evil, and if I get tired of it here, maybe if it comes to its senses, I'll stop cooking.

I said to it, "Well, Mr. Direwolf...... I, what am I, I still have things to do, you go and get busy with yours, there will be a period later......"

I turned around and strode away, not daring to look back.

I stopped when I was out of breath, and I looked back to see the deep woods behind me, only the leaves rustling in the wind.

It seemed that the one-eyed wolf hadn't followed, so I breathed a sigh of relief and took a bottle of water from my backpack and gulped it down.

On the way, I passed a small stream, and I remembered that a month ago, Xiao Fan was still catching fish for us by the stream near our house, and I grilled fish for their brother and sister at night...... But today's stream is simply unsightly, a few dead fish floating on the water, and some bones and corpses of some unknown animals, making the stream dirty.

I sighed and walked away.

In the evening, I went to the rested woods for the third time and decided to spend the night here.

The clearing was huge, and I picked up branches that could make three fires back and forth, thinking that this would be a little more reassuring.

I looked at the three fires in front of me, munching on canned fish, and thinking that I would leave early tomorrow morning, and if it went well, I would be able to reach the treehouse in the evening. Every time I think of the treehouse, I feel very steady.

I leaned against the tree, and I gradually felt sleepy. I held the backpack in my arms with one hand and hid it under the backpack with a dagger in the other.

I don't know how long I slept, and in a daze, I felt something sliding and wrapping around my body, slowly climbing up to my neck, and it felt slippery to the touch......

I woke up suddenly, could it be......

A huge snake head appeared in front of me, it was almost attached to my face, and a pair of dark red eyes stared at me deadly, extremely cautious.

I quickly drew my dagger and stabbed it hard.

The snake reacted so quickly that while my hand was still in the air, it bit my wrist and the dagger fell out of my hand in a sharp pain.

Unexpectedly, the moment the snake bit my wrist, it seemed to bite something that scared it, and it quickly let go of its mouth, and the snake head ducked away for a long time.

I slowly moved my body to pick up the dagger that had fallen to the side, and as soon as my fingertips touched the hilt, the serpent suddenly flicked its tail and swept away the dagger, and the snake body wrapped tightly around me again.

It strangled my neck hard, and the feeling of suffocation reminded me of the cliff that night...... I struggled to peel it open, but the snakeskin was so thick that my fingernails couldn't get it in at all.

At this moment, the grass in front of me shook at two o'clock, and then a black shadow flew in front of my eyes, and the snake's body immediately loosened slightly, I took the opportunity to pick up the dagger, and stabbed it in the chaos, and with a terrible scream, the snake body swung violently, and I was thrown out in an instant, just knocking over one of the fires, and one of the trouser legs was also burned, and I hurriedly slapped the spark.

The serpent let out another shrill scream, and when I looked back, I saw that the one-eyed wolf was biting the serpent's neck, its limbs clinging to the snake's body.

The serpent frantically flailed its head as it slammed into the trees around it, trying to knock the cyclops down.

It turned out that the dark shadow just now was it......

I looked at the giant serpent - red eyes, all turquoise, with a black belly and a black tail. The body of the snake is more than ten meters long, and in the faint light of the fire, the shadow is infinitely magnified, which is very terrifying......

Isn't this the snake that Bai Ye said he saw when he first met me in the woods? He Xiu also mentioned it...... No, when Bai Ye recounted He Xiu's memories, he said that the snake was a pair of blue eyes, could it be that there was more than one such giant snake in this forest?

After several hits, the one-eyed wolf was finally thrown out of the way, landing just about three meters next to me.

I looked at the one-eyed wolf, its eyes glowing with a dark red light, its fur all erected, its fangs bared, and it watched as the serpent kept growling, and then it jumped and pounced on the serpent.

I mentioned it in my heart, because I saw a pool of blood in the place where the one-eyed wolf had just fallen......

The giant snake was obviously enraged, its front half of its body suddenly contracted, and while opening its big mouth, it quickly stretched its head towards the one-eyed wolf that flew up and jumped, and the one-eyed wolf was only a meter away from the snake's head at this time.

"Be careful!" I yelled to warn the cyclops.

The one-eyed wolf seemed to be prepared, it suddenly raised its front paws, hooked the roof of the serpent's jaw, and then kicked its hind feet the serpent's teeth, jumped onto its skull, and then quickly slid to the heart of the serpent, and bit desperately.

"Seven inches of snakes?" I muttered to myself, it turns out that the one-eyed wolf has its own set of tactics.

The giant snake screamed miserably, and continued to hit the trunk of the tree next to him with the snake body, seeing that the one-eyed wolf was hit with all kinds of meat, but it still bit the life of the giant snake and refused to let go, and the one-eyed wolf would definitely be hit to death if it continued like this.

I looked down at the wrist that had just been bitten by the serpent, and remembered that it had let go of its mouth the moment it bit me, which was counterintuitive, and its reaction seemed to be shocked and terrified.

Is this beast afraid of my blood? No, it should be afraid of Xiaofen's blood, Xiaofen had transfused my blood with him when I was unconscious before.

I picked up the dagger and quietly ran towards the snake's tail, spreading out my palm and making a hard cut in the palm of my hand, my sore nose was sore, and tears almost flowed out.

I smeared the dagger with blood and plunged it into the snake's tail, expecting to hear its heart-rending scream, only to flick its tail a few times.

Could it be that this blood is only effective for its entrance?

The one-eyed wolf near the snake's head was obviously exhausted, and its body slid down from time to time, but it climbed back up as fast as it could.

I climbed up to the nearest tree, stopped almost parallel to the snake's head, and was about to jump on the snake when the serpent slammed into the tree I was on, and I lost my balance and stepped on the air...... I immediately clung to the trunk of the tree and almost fell.

But this collision, the one-eyed wolf was thrown to the ground fiercely. It tried to get up again several times, but each time it fell back as soon as it got up, and finally, it lay on the ground with its belly heaving dramatically.

The serpent was also not lightly injured, and after it saw the one-eyed wolf fall to the ground, it suddenly shrank its front half of its body...... Oh no, it looks like it's trying to give the cyclops one last blow.

I didn't have time to think about it, so I jumped and stabbed myself in the back of the serpent, and just like that, I fixed myself to the snake's back.

The serpent turned around and wanted to bite it, but I put a bloody hand into its mouth, and the moment it bit down, I felt a sharp pain, and at the same time, it suddenly screamed as expected.

It frantically flicked the snake's body, and the dagger stuck in its back came loose, and I was thrown out with a parabolic arc......

This time it is dead, four or five stories high, and if you don't fall to death, you will be crippled......

In the process of my fall, my body suddenly bumped into something, and then a cushion, and when I landed, I felt myself pressed against something soft, and I looked back to see the one-eyed wolf lying under me.

Judging from the position where it was thrown out with the serpent and me, the position of the three of us was basically an equilateral triangle, and it moved quickly from one corner of the triangle to the other to catch me.

At this time, the giant snake also stumbled away.

I quickly got up and looked at the one-eyed wolf lying on the ground, its eyes were slightly open, its breathing was extremely weak, all the wounds on its body were bleeding constantly, and its entire body was soaked in a pool of blood.

I looked around and finally found the backpack under a tree, I poured out everything in the bag, found iodophor, wipes, gauze and elastic bandages and began to stop the bleeding urgently.

Since the last time I was ridiculed by Xiao Fan for my bandaging skills, I deliberately looked up some relevant first aid skills on the Internet, but I didn't expect to use them.

After processing it, I found that it was almost mummified by me.

Fortunately, the bleeding had stopped, and I breathed a sigh of relief and gently covered it with a first aid blanket.

I also treated my wound briefly, and the bitten wrist and palm were swollen very high, and this time it really looked like a steamed bun.

I sat cross-legged next to the cyclops, looking at it with mixed feelings.

What is the origin of this guy, twice desperately saved me, the first time he did not hesitate to turn against his former wolf teammates, and this time he followed me all the way to protect me secretly, otherwise it would not have appeared in time to escort me when I was most critical.

Could it be that my dead parents were kind to it too?

The one-eyed wolf fell asleep quietly, and several times I wondered if it had fallen asleep like this, and I kept an eye on its belly until I saw a slight undulation.

The sky began to lighten, and the worst of the nights was finally over.

There are still two bottles of water left in the backpack, and the cans are a big push, so if you go on like this, will you want to drink the thick soup in the creek?

At this moment, the one-eyed wolf's tail moved, gently sweeping the ground, and I hurriedly got up to look over, its eyelids were slightly raised, and its eyeballs were slowly rolling.

I handed the water I had poured into the empty canning box to its mouth, tilted it slightly, and it sniffed it and drank it slowly.

I lifted the first aid blanket on his body, gave it a breath, and checked the gauze by the way. In some places, the wound was still oozing slightly, but most of the gauze was clean.

I opened the box of canned food for it, and I didn't think that after it slanted its eyes, it moved its mouth to the side and looked away without focus.

Did it just give me a roll of the eyes?

I wonder if the wolf eats fish, could it be that the canned fish reminds it of small powder, so it is unhappy?

"If you don't eat, you won't be able to recover, you can only keep wrapping up like now, are you willing to be a myote in the future?" I pointed to the one-eyed wolf wrapped in gauze and said, "If one day my buddy is that 10,000-year-old cat fairy, if he comes to me and sees you like this, won't you feel very shameless?" ”

I pushed the can of fish to its mouth again.

The guy was still lying motionless on the ground, looking loveless.

I thought to myself, yes, how can it understand human speech.

I sighed and got up to take back the can, but as soon as my hand touched the can, I was held down by a fluffy paw.
