Chapter 189: The First Day in the Jungle
Night in the jungle can come quickly and cold. Walking in the jungle at night is even more dangerous. As I walked, I estimated the time by the faint darkness of the sky, mentally preparing for nightfall.
It was the first night of being pursued, and the most dangerous one. It is not clear whether the pursuers have gone or not, and if they have chased down, we will not be able to make fires.
But if you don't make a fire, the beasts in the jungle are not good at stubble. In this primeval jungle, it is not surprising that there are leopards and tigers, hunters who act only after nightfall.
If we didn't make a fire, Kalmi and I would be no different than two pieces of raw meat.
I want to find a place where I can make a fire safely without being discovered...... My brow furrowed as I searched my mind for possible terrain.
"Angel, what are you thinking?" Seeing my furrowed brow, Kalmi asked timidly.
It seems that she will not change her name even if she is killed......
I looked back at her and felt that ignorance was actually quite happy. If she had known that I had taken her like this for her father's life, I don't know how she would have reacted.
"Find your way." I replied.
"Oh......" Kalmi seemed to have known how to save his strength, and obediently looked down at the road again.
Seeing her quiet, I looked at her more and knew that she was really tired. She may have never encountered such a thing in her life, and it is inevitable that she will be tired.
But she'll be quiet, which is a good thing for me.
At this moment, I suddenly smelled a smell of blood faintly in the air. It was not a good thing to smell blood in such a place, and I immediately stopped.
"What's wrong?" Kalmi was startled when he saw me stop. I looked back at her and thought about it, it would be better to leave the gun to her, and it would be better not to shoot in a place like this.
"Stay here, don't wander around!" I snapped, seeing Kalmi obediently hide behind a tree, and then slowly walked in the direction where the smell of blood came from.
As the smell of blood picked up, I could hear some biting and chewing sounds. It made me feel like maybe the smell of blood wasn't coming from people.
When I pushed through the bushes, I saw a wolf covered in gray fur, with its head down and biting at the carcass of a wild boar, its greedy wolf kiss tearing off pieces of flesh and swallowing them into its throat almost without chewing.
A lone wolf?
I furrowed my brow and looked around, but I didn't see any other wolves. It's not surprising that there are wolves in this kind of jungle, but lone wolves are a bit rare.
I stared at it closely, my hands touching the handles of stabs and sabers.
I wouldn't have provoked a wolf in normal times, but now it's different, food is everything in the jungle. I'm a little sure of a wolf who hasn't discovered me yet.
The fight didn't last long, and it was even said that the wolf was really hungry, and it only reacted and bit me when my saber stabbed it in the ribs.
But it was too late, and the saber in my other hand stabbed it into its throat, releasing hot and bloody wolf blood.
I can't take too much of the wolf's meat, or it will be too heavy and it will slow us down. I picked the strongest ones and divided them up.
At this time, I noticed that the wolf was very thin and had an injury to his left front leg.
From the wild boar that was eaten, I also wanted to cut some meat. While cutting the meat, I unexpectedly saw a piece of paper stained red with blood under the boar.
Take a closer look, it was a message, or Ji Yining kept it.
"I left some food for you, but I lost the oil bottle if I couldn't do it. The most important thing is to save your life, and you can find another chance if you live. ”
It dawned on me that this wild boar was killed by Ji Yining. It's just that the smell of blood has attracted a lonely lone wolf, and if I hadn't come in time, I'm afraid I would only see a pile of pig bones.
It seems that Ji Yining's situation is indeed much better than mine, and I am also relieved to see this piece of paper.
When I went back, I was visibly startled by the wolf's blood. She looked at me in horror: "You...... You're killing again? ”
“… Kill the wolf. I hesitated to say yes, maybe I could scare her more honestly. But in the end, I chose to tell the truth, after all, the flesh on my body is also quite obvious.
"You killed the wolf?" Kalmi's eyes widened, as if it sounded unbelievable to her, and her horror immediately turned into adoration, "You're amazing! ”
"It's just a lone wounded wolf, it's not a big deal." I couldn't stand her gaze, so I turned my head and said, "Let's go, try to go deeper before the sun goes down." ”
The rest of the road was peaceful, and I didn't encounter any enemies or beasts, except for being careful not to run into any poisonous insects that I shouldn't touch, I just had to pay attention to the road under my feet.
Having learned to practice Qi and Xing Qi, my physique is already much better than that of ordinary adult males, even compared to mercenaries.
But it also made me ignore the fact that Kalmi, who was just following her, had the physical strength of an ordinary girl.
When I said I could stop, she collapsed on the floor almost in collapse. A pair of eyes were red and swollen, and he was so aggrieved that he almost shed tears.
I didn't bother with her, it was already completely dark now, and the darkness of the jungle had come so suddenly, and I had to set up a cordon while I could still see something.
In particular, I had a vague sense of being followed along the way.
I've always had a good feeling, and I don't want to take any risks here.
The cordon doesn't need to be too complicated, just a circle of wires and some metal objects that make a sound. In this way, I can detect people or animals approaching in time.
After thinking about it, I decided to start a fire. That vague aura is likely to be some kind of beast tracking us, and if it were a human, I wouldn't be completely unsure.
All wild animals are afraid of fire, and they are much more terrifying than their pursuers in the jungle in the middle of the night. And if you attract pursuers, it's a big deal to run away.
Thinking of this, I turned my head and asked Kalmi to go find some dry firewood or something nearby. But Kalmi came into contact with my gaze and visibly flinched.
I was stunned for a moment, then I realized what was going on.
It was probably the fall of night that made her realize that it was actually very dangerous to be alone in the wilderness with a dangerous person like me.
It's not bad to have such vigilance.
"You stay here, I'll go find some dry wood to make a fire." I stood up as if I had looked around for some dry wood and dead leaves, and when I came back she seemed to tremble, and when she saw me, her frightened eyes settled down again.
"What's wrong?" I put down the pyre and asked, and by the light of the rising fire, I could see that the expression on her face was very tired, but she was so strong that she didn't dare to close her eyes.
She is different from me, although my physical strength is not small, but with the Flying Immortal Technique to practice Qi Xingqi, I am also recovering along the way. And her physical strength is almost exhausted, and she will definitely not be able to hold on and collapse if she continues like this.
Hearing me ask her, she looked at me with some fear and said, "I'm afraid you're going to leave alone......"
I had that in mind.
"I'm tired too, I need to take a break." I sat down cross-legged, "You can rest for a while, I'm not going to go." ”
"Really?"
I hesitated, "Really." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, I saw her close her eyes and fall asleep as if she were relieved. This undoubted trust made me inexplicably uncomfortable, shook my head, and put the pork and wolf meat skewers on the fire and roasted them.
Looking at the flames in front of me, it was the first time since I entered the jungle that I felt some calm.
At this moment, I felt a chill coming out of my body. The cyan aura condensed around me, turning into the appearance of a battle spirit.
I didn't look at him, and I could guess that his expression must be very grim at the moment. He didn't speak the whole way, thinking that he had been waiting for the moment when Kalmi fell asleep.
With a noise around him, he sat down, and then there was silence for the suffocating man.
"What you use on the highway is the Flying Immortal Technique?"
Finally, he spoke, and the inquiring tone was affirmative.
I nodded, since he saw it, there was no need to hide it.
"I've been wondering how you can keep up with my training so quickly." The Battle Spirit tilted his head and looked at me with a deep gaze, "You're hiding a lot of things, young man, I thought I knew you well enough. ”
"I don't want you guys to know this." I flipped the wolf meat, and there was a fire in my eyes.
"Why?"
"It will make me more like him."
"Who?"
"You really don't know?"
"Yuan Sunchen." The battle spirit's eyes narrowed, and a light as sharp as a blade shone, "That's his unique secret technique." ”
I turned my head to look at him, he was a fourteen-hundred-year-old being, and I don't know how he would have behaved when he knew that.
Our eyes met in the flames, and the flames were distorted by the collision of Qi in our two visions.
At this moment, there was a slight moan from Kalmy, who seemed to have woken up.
The battle spirit glanced at her, and her body quickly turned into green smoke and returned to my body.
"You can trust me." The War Spirit finally said.
I didn't speak, do I really have someone I can trust unconditionally? If it was me when I first entered the Xuanmen, I might have.
I looked at Kalmi, she rubbed her eyes and did it, and after only a few dozen minutes, it was clear that she was sleeping restlessly, and the first thing she did when she woke up was to find where I was.
"Angels... I'm hungry......"
I sighed, brought her close to the fire, and handed her the roasted pork: "Eat." ”
Kalmi took it, blew hot air, and then took a careful bite: "The meat is so hard......"
"I love to eat, and if I don't eat, I won't have to eat." I chewed on the roasted wolf leg, which was much tougher than wild boar.
She shrunk her neck and lowered her head a little aggrieved: "I'll eat ......"
After eating the meat and filling my stomach, I sat by the fire and tried to close my eyes and recuperate. As soon as I closed my eyes, I felt movement around me.
"What for?" I frowned and looked at Kalmy who was quietly leaning in.
She seemed to be taken aback by me, and after a moment of crampedness, she asked uneasily, "Angel, can I... By you? ”
……
Bang!
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out in the night sky, and the sound could be heard far away in the quiet night. Trembling, I immediately stood up, kicked out the fire, and dragged Kalmi to his feet: "Not now. ”
