Chapter 17: The Arctic Journey (Mountain Valley)

(New books for collection, for recommendations)

Suddenly, Cheng Fan felt a pain in the place where the tail vertebrae connected to the tail, and turned his head to see that the wolf had unconsciously and quietly touched it and was biting it.

The bite force of the wolf is not as strong as that of crocodiles and sharks, but it also reaches hundreds of kilograms, which should not be underestimated, and the head wolf's mouth goes down, not to mention the strength of seven or eight hundred catties, and it bites through the fine scales on Cheng Fan's body, but due to Cheng Fan's unremitting exercise and the natural advantage of this body, the teeth of the head wolf are stuck in it by tight muscles, and they can't be pulled out for a while.

This time is not long, it is very short, but for both sides of the life and death war, any mistake in details, a small opportunity to grasp, can cause defeat or establish victory.

The head wolf's teeth were stuck, of course Cheng Fan couldn't show mercy to his subordinates, and with a turn of his body, two hands and claws went straight into the back and neck of the head wolf, cutting the fur, penetrating the flesh and blood, and directly and ruthlessly cutting the blood light from top to bottom.

The blood surged, the head wolf screamed in pain, and the surrounding wolves attacked Cheng Fan again, Cheng Fan's heart was horizontal, and the claws inserted into the head wolf's neck were torn violently, and the flesh and blood were splashed everywhere, and he actually tore off half of the head wolf's head from his neck.

Carrying the bloody wolf head, which was not covered by half of its fur and looked even more hideous and terrifying, Cheng Fan stared indifferently at the wolves who wanted to attack again.

"Roar, roar, roar"

Cheng Fan roared at the wolves, his tail swinging, the moonlight shone, and he was covered with wolf blood, and the wolves shrank in shock and took a few steps back.

"Bang, bone"

The ripped off wolf head was thrown over by Cheng Fan and rolled from the ground to the wolves not far away.

The two dark green eyes of the head wolf were open, half of them were intact, half of them were stripped of their outer skin, and the flesh and blood were directly exposed, which looked very terrifying and disgusting.

"Woohoo, woohoo"

The wolves and Cheng Fan were in a stalemate for a while, a wolf stood up and howled, and the wolves followed it with a terrible howl and spread to the field, and then the wolves took a deep look at Cheng Fan, and didn't care about the corpses of their fellow clans lying on the ground, turned around and disappeared into the depths of the night forest.

Cheng Fan watched the wolves go away, regained the compass that he threw not far away before the battle, and looked back at the seven wolf corpses on the ground.

These wolves are not small, about two meters from the tip of their nose to the tip of their tail, and their body color is mainly gray-brown, with a little black and white miscellaneous hair, and they look like dogs, but they are far more vicious than dogs.

If a lone traveler in the forest encounters these fellows, without good defensive tools and measures, he will end miserably.

Maybe the fight just now was too fierce and tragic, and the wolf corpses in one place, a few of them were intact, Cheng Fan glanced at them a few times, chose the wolf corpse with a large group of wolves and a complete body, dragged one in one hand, and continued to move forward in the moonlight.

Towering mountains, continuous mountain forests, the moonlight recedes, and it is another morning.

Cheng Fan arrived at the edge of a small river flowing through the mountains, the river was surrounded by mountain peaks, and in some places it was a steep cliff, Cheng Fan followed the direction of the compass all the way here, just to rest.

He fur the two wolf carcasses, washed them in the river, and then sat on the rocks by the river, watching the river flow along the mountain into the distance, while eating wolf meat and resting.

Although I can't taste what wolf meat tastes like, it is very chewy, full of lean meat, and there is almost no excess fat.

Think about it, in fact, these wolves are hunting all year round, need to run and fight with the prey, tempered for a long time, even if they used to have a body of fat, now they have long become strong muscles, far from the animals that are raised in the zoo to grow fat.

After resting for a long time, the sun has risen, and the sun shines on this mountainous area where the temperature is not high all year round, and it finally has a little heat.

Cheng Fan washed the smell stains from the battle against the wolves last night in the river, and then returned to the road.

In the forest where he had fought the wolves last night, an elderly white ranger led a hunting dog to the battlefield, and the remains of the wolf carcass on the ground, which had not been dragged away, told the ranger that there had been a fierce confrontation with the wolves here last night.

Judging from his decades of experience as a forest ranger here, the wolves must have suffered a loss, otherwise they would not have left so many corpses of their kind and fled.

The ranger frowned, what kind of creature would dare to go head-to-head with the wolves? The battle was also won, allowing the wolves to flee in a hurry.

Could it be a bear?

No way, the wolves will not take the initiative to disturb the bears, and the bears will not provoke the wolves, even if the bear can kill a few wolves, it will definitely be killed or run away by the wolves, and it must not be it that it will run away from the wolves.

The rangers are thinking that such a creature must be found to see if it is dangerous and if it will cause damage to the ecological balance here.

"Woohoo, Woohoo"

Suddenly, the hound he was holding in his hand seemed to have noticed something, barked at a pile of rotten fallen leaves, and stepped back vigilantly, a kind of dog's frightened reaction.

The ranger walked up to the pile of fallen leaves, crouched down, stretched out his hand and gently brushed away the fallen leaves, and the small insects hidden under the fallen leaves fled in a hurry, and he twisted a broken black scale from the fallen leaves, and carefully studied it in the sunlight through the treetops.

It's not fish scales, it's not snake scales, it's a lot like the scales that fall off lizards and crocodiles, it's just that crocodiles don't appear in forests so far away, and lizards have never seen such a big one here.

The ranger took out a bag and carefully put all the scales between the dead leaves, and he was going to hand it over to the state, so that the state could find out what kind of creature it was.

Cheng Fan didn't know that as soon as he left, someone behind his ass found traces of his activities, and collected his broken scales and prepared to hand them over to the state.

He was now leisurely following the river all the way north.

The small river flows in the valley formed by the mountain peaks, and the woods on both sides turn lush green in the sun, and the river flows "whoosh", but the river is not large, and most of the river is not deep or urgent, and is covered with many large dry rocks, which may be flooded by water during the rainy season.

At this time, it is the end of summer, and the long winter is coming.

While walking and looking at the surrounding scenery, thousands of mountains, only the shadow alone, he alone to enjoy the beautiful scenery of this valley, except for the occasional few bird calls that do not know where the sound is, like this vast heaven and earth, only he is left.

The water in the river is clear and shallow, and he can clearly see the fish swimming in the river, and when the interest comes, Cheng Fan also runs over to catch the fish.

Don't say it, following Bei Ye's method of fishing in the shallow river, he really caught a few chopstick-long fish for Cheng Fan.

Nibbling on the fish he caught, he walked along the river, and it didn't take long for the river to come to an end, and Cheng Fan came to the top of a flowing waterfall.

The water flow of the waterfall is not wide, but the waterfall is very high, according to Cheng Fan's visual calculation, it is about thirty meters high, and some green vines have grown on the cliff side of the waterfall, and there are several big trees growing up at the bottom of the cliff.

Standing on the edge of the waterfall, Cheng Fan looked into the distance, the bottom of the waterfall has come out of this mountain forest, is a vast field, in the far side of the field, there are also a lot of mountain shadows, indicating that this is a rare plain among the mountains.
