The beasts roared and roared under the trees, and the green light in each eye showed a thirst for our flesh and blood.

I sat on a stout branch, clutching at a nearby branch with one hand, curling myself up as best I could, as little as possible so that my limbs could stick out and be exposed to the unobstructed branches.

The tigers and wolves kept jumping upwards and trying to attack us, but fortunately, the branches of this tree were relatively tall, and they were quite safe from being attacked.

But even so, I still didn't dare to look down, even though I knew I wouldn't be attacked, but it was never a good experience to see those sharp teeth trying to get closer again and again.

I leaned against the branch I was holding onto, and closed my eyes with a little headache in thought. The clues to this room are not yet clueless, but the danger is already in sight, and now that these tigers and wolves are guarding under the trees, we are almost trapped here. Moreover, in terms of food and fresh water, we can't consume these native tigers and wolves, let alone the nitric acid rain that we don't know when it will come.

I sighed, opened my eyes and looked at Yu Pu beside me. He was still asleep, showing no signs of waking up, and he didn't know how long he would sleep.

On the other side, Lu Haisheng looked much more comfortable, he was standing on a branch on the other side before, and it seemed that the hand on the main trunk was not too strong, even if I knew that he was standing firmly, but I still felt that this posture was a little scary.

"What's wrong?" Sensing the gaze I had been looking at him, Lu Haisheng turned his head slightly and shifted his gaze from under the tree to my face.

"Nope." I shook my head, "I just think you're so comfortable, and you have the courage to stand on a tree trunk in such a high place, in such an environment, and I'm always worried that I'm going to fall." ”

Lu Haisheng looked at me and squinted, then turned his head and continued to look at the tigers and wolves under the tree, and only after a few seconds did he say, "It's nothing, you can climb a few more times." I know many of you have never climbed a tree, but I'm confident that you can all climb it. ”

"Why?" I sat up slightly, "Why do you have such confidence when you know that we have barely climbed a tree?" I was worried about it until I climbed up. ”

"It's nothing." Lu Haisheng whispered, his tone was very flat, and he couldn't hear any emotion, "I just know how much people want to live, and climbing trees is originally a potential instinct of human beings, but it has been forgotten by most people." ”

I was slightly stunned, not because of the first half of Lu Haisheng's sentence, but because of the second half of the sentence.

I never doubted that people can exert their enormous potential in the face of death, and to my surprise was another quote from him, that it is human instinct to climb trees.

I suddenly remembered a text in a Chinese textbook that said that climbing trees is a human instinct.

When the forest apes came down from the trees and learned to walk upright on the ground, they evolved the first humans in a sense. Perhaps deep in our genes, there has always been an instinct to climb trees, but when we live on the ground for too long and grow up in a forest of reinforced concrete, that instinct is selectively forgotten because it is useless.

But it's there, like so many other things, in our blood and bones, in our souls.

I lowered my eyes slightly, and did not continue the topic. A little probe looked at the tigers and wolves wandering under the trees, and the green eyes were particularly terrifying in the dark.

As if sensing my sight, the tiger wolf whose eyes were injured by Lu Haisheng suddenly looked up at me, frightened me slightly, and silently shrank his head back to hide, silently thinking in his heart that it couldn't see me, couldn't see me, couldn't see me

Well, I'm cowardly.

"Are we going to stay here and wait for them to leave?" I asked Lu Haisheng in a low voice, it didn't seem like a good idea to wait here all the time.

Lu Haisheng turned his head to look at me, and then turned his head to look at Yu Pu, who was still asleep beside me, "Let's take a look again, there is nothing to do now." Maybe I can try to lure them away, but that would require Yu Pu to wake up first. ”

"You're going to lure it away?" I was slightly stunned, and then resolutely objected, "Don't be joking, don't look at what these beasts look like, look at the figure, look at the teeth." What's more, they're right under the tree, and before you can climb down the tree, you're in range of their attacks, do you really think you have any chance of luring them away? ”

"It may be dangerous, but it's not always dangerous to be stuck here." Lu Haisheng looked at the tree and said softly.

I looked at Lu Haisheng in disbelief and felt that there must be someone between me and him who had a brain problem.

After all, I know very well that Lu Haisheng is not a person who will take the initiative to take risks for others, but he will do his best to protect me. If Lu Haisheng was just trying to survive for himself, he only had to think about escaping, but what he was thinking about now was luring those tigers and wolves away.

It can be assumed that if Lu Haisheng can really lure these tigers and wolves away, if not all, but only a part, it will greatly increase the possibility of our survival. Lu Haisheng won't take risks for others, I know, but he will take risks for me.

He took the risk to lure the tiger wolf away not for the sake of no one else, but for me, and if he had other ways to better keep me safe, he would never have chosen this way.

But

"No, I don't agree!" I shook my head, "Even if it's dangerous to be trapped here, it's a little bit more dangerous, at least we're safe now,

"But if I have to lure these guys away sooner or later, the sooner I act, the safer it is, right?" Lu Haisheng said lightly, "Or do you think you have any other way?" ”

I was choked by Lu Haisheng's words, to be honest, I really couldn't think of any way, but I also didn't think his method was feasible, so I still shook my head.

"No, I still don't agree." I shook my head again, "If your approach works, then I can accept the idea that sooner the better, but I don't think you'll be able to survive by luring those beasts away. Knowing that it is to send to death, this cannot be regarded as a method at all. ”

Lu Haisheng looked at me and raised his eyebrows, walked over to me and squatted down, "Are you worried about me?" ”

I was stunned, and in front of me were Lu Haisheng's eyes, narrow eyes, which seemed to have some kind of light, and they were like black holes of nothingness, trying to suck everything in

Turning my head quickly, I could visibly feel my face start to burn.

Why did this thing come over all of a sudden? But he shouldn't be able to see me blush on such a dark day, right?

Thinking so, I turned my head again, only to see Lu Haisheng's mouth slightly hooked and looking at me and smiling.

I looked at Lu Haisheng's smiling smile, only to feel that my face was hot again, and when I reacted, I realized that I had reached out and pushed his face to the other side.

The warmth in my palm came and I suddenly realized what I was doing, as if I had been burned, and quickly withdrew my hand, turning my head again to stop looking at him.

This time, Lu Haisheng laughed directly, and the low laughter sounded in my ears, and I felt even more hot on my face, and I was even more reluctant to turn back to him.

It wasn't until the laughter died down for a while that I heard Lu Haisheng say again.

"I'm not going to die, at least you should believe that."

Lu Haisheng's voice made me turn my head again, he glanced at me, turned his head to look under the tree, stretched out his finger, and continued, "Look at those fierce beasts, they are indeed huge, so their attack range will be increased, but because of this, their speed will also be affected. ”

I looked in the direction pointed by Lu Haisheng, squinting slightly, and saw the bodies of those fierce beasts wandering in the darkness.

"And again, this beast of prey, we will analyze it for the time being, they have some characteristics of a tiger and a wolf at the same time. If they are closer to tigers in terms of size, we can infer from this that their stamina is not very good. Lu Haisheng said, showing me a slight movement of his arm, "And this kind of body, as long as I dodge well, only one fierce beast can attack me at a time, and I am confident that I will not give them a chance to attack me at the same time." ”

"But you're going to lure them away." I still frowned slightly, "Even if you can guarantee to withstand the attack of a tiger wolf, even if you can drag them until their stamina is not as strong as yours, but it will take a long time, how can you come back to join us?" ”

"I don't have to go too far, and this is the forest, and I'll always be more flexible than them." Lu Haisheng said, looking up and looking up.

I followed his gaze, but I only saw the lush branches, and when I turned my head to look at him, I heard Lu Haisheng explain.

"Look at the branches, the distance between the two trees. If it were just me, I think I could rely on these branches to move from the tree. Lu Haisheng said and looked down at me, "I just need to lure them away for a while to get you out of trouble." ”

Let me get out of trouble I looked at Lu Haisheng and pursed his lips, and sighed after a few seconds. I know that everything about Lu Haisheng is based on me, and at the same time, I also know that Lu Haisheng said this method means that he is sure of it, but I still don't want him to take such a risk.

"If," I frowned, "let's wait and see, even if you want to carry out your plan, it will have to wait until Yu Pu wakes up." ”

After all, I don't worry about Lu Haisheng's safety, if it is not a last resort, I really don't want to use this method.

As we spoke, a terrible female scream rang out, and at the same time, I saw a dark figure fall from a tree on the side.

At the same time, almost all the tiger wolves moved, rushing towards the black shadow.

The female voice only screamed twice and then was silent, except for the roars of the tigers and wolves, and the sound of biting and chewing flesh.

I was still stunned, but I felt suddenly pulled.

"Don't leave! Come on! Get off the tree! ”
