Chapter 64: Finding Water
In the blink of an eye, the black shadow had jumped in front of him.
Su Nian leaned to the side, narrowly dodged, and at the same time did not retreat, but advanced, towards the leopard, and crossed a perfect arc under his feet at the moment of collision, and will staggered past the leopard.
Then, freeze frame.
Tick.
Tick.
The leopard's claws scratched twice in the air in confusion, and he fell to the ground with a bang, dying.
On its neck, there was a deep wound visible to the bone, which had been cut by a sharp weapon, and a large amount of blood gushed out of its throat, quickly staining a large area of the ground red.
Su Niantian stretched out his hands. In one hand he held a bloody dagger, and in the other he held a silver medal drawn from the leopard's neck.
She threw the silver medal into the hide, and as soon as she fell inside, there was a crisp sound of silver colliding.
"The tenth!" Su Niantian smiled slightly, very satisfied.
She took out a fire fold, lit it, and threw it directly on the leopard's corpse, her eyes always calm.
A small flame fell on the leopard's fur, instantly soaring, wrapping the leopard entirely, and soon the smell of roasted meat came to the leopard.
Only then did Su Niantian put the package on his back, took all his things, and left calmly to find the next prey.
......
The days of trial passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it's the third day.
Su Niantian has already killed seventeen beasts, except for the mixed-breed leopard, the others are really weak to her, and within the three combinations, they will be killed.
Those days of training in the Forest of Oz were not obvious at the time, but now the benefits are gradually revealed.
After struggling over and over again between life and death, you will understand that any trick is useless in a real battle, no matter how beautiful it looks, no matter how light the action, it can't compare to a killing move.
Su Niantian has already abandoned those useless tricks, streamlined and refined his tricks little by little, leaving only the real knife, and abandoning the superfluous decorations on the knife.
When dealing with beasts, she can often use the most convenient and quick moves to slash them, which is not only fast, prevents variables, but also conserves a lot of physical strength.
So after three whole days, she was still in good spirits as always.
The only thing that caused me a bit of a headache was that there wasn't much dry food left, and there was only a little water left.
The animal skin package was not large, and it could not hold too many things, and the weapons especially took up space, and the rest of the space could only hold a small amount of dry food.
This is true for everyone.
If her guess is correct, everyone is probably in a similar situation.
Su Niantian estimated that this was also a kind of exercise.
What Uncle and the others want to see, in addition to the fact that they can kill enough beasts, also their life skills. If nothing else, at least in this environment, it is possible to be self-sufficient.
Otherwise, a dignified person will be starved to death, thirsty to death, and if it is passed out, he will be laughed out of his big teeth.
Su Nian sat under the tree, sitting cross-legged and resting, there was a fire that had been extinguished not far away, and a pile of bones next to it.
In the air, there is a faint smell of meat.
Just now a rabbit passed by, Su Niantian roasted it and ate it, although there was no seasoning, she still ate it with relish.
The rabbit was quite big, and Su Niantian was full and had a small half left, so he wrapped it up and put it in the package.
But the stomach is full, but the throat is still thirsty.
Su Niantian couldn't help but touch his neck, feeling that his throat was so dry that the throat seemed to be stuck together, and there was a tearing pain when he moved slightly.
She stuck out her tongue and licked her chapped lips. Finally, I couldn't help it, took out the water bladder, and shook it gently.
Listening to the sound, you can roughly estimate how much water you can feel.
At this time, the sound of water was very small, almost inaudible, and it was almost gone.
Su Niantian opened the lid of the water bladder, staring at it with his eyes, but he was reluctant to drink it.
Goo.
Her throat twitched slightly, and another tearing pain made her brow furrow.
Su Niantian licked his lips again, this time licking the rust-like taste, which was blood. The lip is dry and cracked, and the lip flap bleeds.
She no longer hesitated, took the water bladder in her mouth, and carefully poured the water bladder up, for fear of drinking too much.
Finally, her chapped lips came into contact with that touch of warmth and sweetness, and in an instant it was like fireworks blooming, and the dead wood was spring, which was refreshing.
As soon as the warm and sweet water was in his mouth, Su Niantian removed the water bladder.
She was reluctant to swallow it directly, so she took it in her mouth and waited until her entire mouth was moist. She grunted and swallowed.
A thin stream of water passed through the dry throat, extinguishing the fire that had accumulated for several days, and the pipes were no longer stuck together.
But the good times didn't last long, probably after a cup of tea, the throat was burning again, the throat was dry, and the mouth was bitter, which was really not a taste.
Su Nian licked his lips and looked at the water bladder greedily for a long time before he reluctantly closed the lid and stuffed it into the water bladder.
After resting for a while, the sun has receded and the temperature is not so hot. She put the bag on her back and continued her journey in search of water.
It was still imperative to find a source of water, and the killing of wild beasts was thrown aside.
Su Niantian kept walking into the depths of the dense forest, and she vaguely remembered that there was water in the deepest part of the mountain that could quench her thirst.
She hadn't walked a while before she stopped.
Lie on the ground with your ears on the ground and listen to the sound of the earth.
But each time the result was disappointing, she never heard the sound of the water, only the sound of footsteps.
Su Niantian could only look for it aimlessly.
When she encountered a wild beast on the way, she did not hesitate to kill it, and in this way, even if she did not deliberately look for prey, she still accumulated a lot of silver medals.
As she walked, there was a jingling sound in the skin wrapping, which was very pleasant.
That's two hours.
Su Niantian still couldn't find the water source, but the sky was already dark.
The weary birds have returned to the forest, and the wild beasts are waiting to come out of their nests.
This is obviously not a good time to continue on the road.
Su Niantian found a nearby cave and threatened with force, so that the beasts in the cave gave up half of their residence aggrievedly, and also contributed their soft nests.
In exchange, Su Nian spared a small life.
Putting the package in a place where he could grab it with his hand, Su Nian poured into the soft nest, which was covered with a large piece of intact animal skin, and the fur was complete and thick, which was very comfortable.
This beast is quite good at enjoying it.
Su Niantian touched the hair and narrowed his eyes comfortably.
Touching his shriveled stomach, Su Niantian took out the small half rabbit meat left over from the afternoon and ate it.
The meat is already cold, but the taste of the meat itself is still there, and it wafts out before you know it.
The original cave master was a fox, and when he smelled the smell of meat, he stood up, staring at Su Nian with bright eyes...... Meat in the hands.
Su Nian thought about it, tore off a piece of meat from his little thumb, and threw it to the fox: "Now, borrow a one-night honorarium." ”
Fox:......
How can this human being be so detached?
But something is better than nothing, and the fox pulled it in disgust, and still lowered his head and took the meat in his mouth.
At this moment, there was a loud "bang" in the sky!
The fox was startled, his mouth loosened, and the flesh fell off, so that there was a crack in the ground, and the flesh rolled into it.
Fox:......
