I don't know if the heavens heard Su Xiaoting's prayer, but in my ignorance, the soft morning light finally diluted the darkness again, but with it, there was a first snow the size of a fingernail.

When Su Xiaoting opened her eyes, she found that she was still confused, so much so that when she walked out of the big tree trunk, she found that a thin layer of white velvet had been laid on the ground.

She rubbed her eyes and froze for a moment before looking up at the sky above the trees.

Although the snow had finally brought life to the barren forest, it was not a good thing for her.

Sure enough, the only sun that could guide the way had gone there, if the snow had not stopped......

Su Xiaoting rubbed her somewhat stiff arm and forced herself to calm down, then she must be prepared to survive in the wild!

Fortunately, November has just passed, and the temperature is only a few degrees below zero, if it is a month later, it is estimated that she will not survive last night!

She must find food and try to make a fire again~ because she suspects that even if she catches her prey, she will not go to Rumao to drink blood unless she has to.

Su Xiaoting slowed down her pace and walked alone in this boundless barren forest......

As she searched for her prey, she didn't know that she had been locked by the hunters at the top of the food chain in the barren forest.

Under the fallen tree trunk not far away, Su Xiaoting's gentle figure was reflected in the fluorescent green eyes.

The prey of this seemingly human cub is not strictly speaking, but not in its food lineage.

But in the early winter when food is scarce, only by seizing all the opportunities to eat with a higher success rate can we survive the long and cruel winter here.

Therefore, this experienced predator began to approach Su Xiaoting slowly and cautiously under the cover of falling snow, hoping to be able to hit with one blow and minimize the consumption of hunting.

Su Xiaoting was a little desperate, except for finding a hedgehog that was about to hibernate in the pile of dead branches, she still found nothing after half a day.

And for the parasites on the wild hedgehog, she is also insensitive. What she was most desperate to find was a pheasant and a bird, so that she might be able to try her hand at making a pheasant instead of plucking and cleaning it with her bare hands.

Suddenly, an inexplicable chill rushed across her back, and Su Xiaoting subconsciously glanced around, but it was just a gray-white world.

She tightened her collar, rubbed her frozen pinna, and continued to search lightly.

As the snow thickened, there was a more 'creaking' sound when moving forward, and just as Su Xiaoting walked down a somewhat inclined dirt slope, the branches under the snow suddenly slipped, and she shook and almost sat on the ground.

A strange wind blew, if it weren't for Su Xiaoting's keen five senses, I am afraid she would not have noticed it at all.

Su Xiaoting jumped to the side as if she was stressed, and heard the sound of a tree branch breaking behind her.

Before she could turn around, a white shadow rushed towards her again, and Su Xiaoting ran forward.

Walked around a tree, put the spear-like wooden stick in front of him, and turned around with a 'brush'.

When she saw the white creature standing there, she couldn't help but take two steps back, and her palms and forehead were sweating together.

It was a fierce beast that resembled a leopard, close to the size of an ordinary lion, except that its leopard print was black and dotted with silver-white fur.

It's just that Su Xiaoting is not sure if this is the 'spotted leopard' that one of them once said, because it is a bit like a feline face, with 5 eyes arranged like lotus flowers.

Four blue-green eyes are arranged in the original position, symmetrical above and below, and one yellowish eye is slightly smaller and erect in the center of the forehead.

At this moment, those five eyes stared at her for a moment, making her hair stand upside down, and her hands trembled slightly.

If it's a leopard, then going up a tree is obviously not the best policy.

Thinking of the ferocity of the beast, Su Xiaoting pulled out the dagger on her waist with her left hand, and as soon as this act came out, the monster that looked like a divine beast had rushed towards her.

Su Xiaoting, who felt the frontal impact of the monster, deeply understood the meaning of the word 'thunder power', and when it was about to rush, she dodged behind the tree and wanted to attack from the side.

At this moment, the five-eyed monster jumped up, and she poked it at the side of the waist with a fierce stick.

"Woo~"

The tip of the stick stabbed it in the stomach, and the creature howled, and with a claw, it flew to the side in midair.

After landing on the ground, the monster took a few steps back and lay on its stomach, as if it didn't expect that this seemingly weak prey could actually hurt it.

Su Xiaoting glanced at a little blood on the tip of the stick with her residual vision, and felt a little relieved, at least this monster was not invulnerable like a wild boar.

Moments later, the five-eyed leopard unleashed a new round of attacks, tasting the power of the stick, and it seemed to have changed its strategy, no longer launching a long-range attack, but attacking with its front paws at close range.

After blocking it twice with a wooden stick, Su Xiaoting felt that its limbs as thick as a lion really had the power of ten thousand pounds, and if it was to fight it head-on, I was afraid that it would soon be knocked down.

Moreover, the wooden stick needs to be operated with both hands, and the dagger has become a burden, Su Xiaoting was in a hurry, biting the back of the knife in her mouth, holding the stick with both hands, and trying to poke its head.

However, this monster, I don't know if it's because it has 5 eyes, can use its front paws to block the stick every time, or slightly tilt its head to dodge her full blow.

Su Xiaoting knew that she couldn't retreat, but it was never a way to go on like this, just when the fierce beast pounced on her upper body again, she poked the smooth end of the wooden stick to the ground, and used her strength to do a front flip, just avoiding the fierce beast's vicious pounce.

Then she ran forward at full speed with her stick, and the scene of Ji Yuning's killing of the wild boar last time flashed in her mind, Su Xiaoting's five senses were full, her ears caught the sound of the meat pad behind her stepping on the snow, and her eyes searched for the thick tree.

She curved through the deep forest, and as soon as the voice drew closer, she leaped in another direction as if she had eyes behind her.

When she finally approached a tall and straight tree trunk, the sound was only 2 steps away from her, Su Xiaoting clenched the long stick, lifted her breath and lightened her body, like a cornice walking on a wall, walked 4 steps in a row on the trunk of the big tree, and then twisted her waist and turned around, raising her stick to stab back.

Fortunately, now her physical strength is close to the level of the 4th intermediate level, and she has jumped a little higher, otherwise this turn may be worthy of the claws of the beast that pounced.

At this time, she was in the position of the five-eyed monster half a human, and this time the horse pistol pierced into its right rib.

Because of the blessing of Su Xiaoting's own weight, this time the stab was finally deeper, but the fierce beast quickly took advantage of the fall, shrunk its body, and fell to the side with a whimper.

The crimson blood was left along its silver-white fur, and the monster roared at Su Xiaoting, leaking out the white canine teeth with long fingers, and circled around her like a fear.

Su Xiaoting's face was already numb, and she slowly took down the dagger with her left hand, wanting to insert it back into her waist, when suddenly a white shadow swept over and pulled it onto the stick she was holding in her right hand.

The stick immediately came out of his hand and flew down 7 or 8 meters away!

Only then did Su Xiaoting see clearly that the white shadow turned out to be the long fluffy tail behind the five-eyed monster.

Her heart hung again, and she switched the dagger to her right hand, and before she could think of a countermeasure, the white tail had swept towards her calf again like a stick.

……

Both man and beast had agility and vigor, and it wasn't until 5 minutes later that Su Xiaoting finally had to ride on the back of the five-eyed monster and stab its front legs with a dagger.

The spotted leopard howled, and finally stopped fighting, and gave up the prey he despised for it. And what Su Xiaoting paid was a blow to her leg and a claw mark on her shoulder.

However, for the rest of her life, she still picked up the stick and fled from here.

After this fierce battle, Su Xiaoting's only remaining physical strength was gone, and her eyes were black for a while, so she could only hold the snow on the ground and chat to satisfy her hunger.

Unfortunately, the leg injury and the snow cover made it more difficult to find food, but the snow showed no signs of stopping.

Seeing the white mushrooms, white bread and white steamed buns slowly growing in the forest, even the snow cover on the pine tree is a little like the cream on the cake.
