Chapter 7 Hunger
Yuan Ming moved his muscles and bones for a while, and found that the muscles at the wound still felt painful, but compared to yesterday, it was much better.
After a moment's thought, he decided not to risk hunting beasts yet, but to make some traps and other things to see if he could trap some small beasts such as hare and gophers.
Wait until you have eaten and drunk enough, and when you have the strength, you can go and hunt the beasts.
With this in mind, Yuan Ming began to collect tough vines and branches around him, while keeping an eye out for a suitable place to relocate.
He didn't have much experience or memory about the beast hunting, so he could only rely on a vague impression and make some rope nooses and bayonets, and whether he could catch the beast or not could only depend on luck.
However, when he was planting the trap, he did collect some wild fruits.
Some of them are as big as apples, purple and red all over, some are as small as projectiles, and the color is bright and pleasing red, and there is one that looks very much like raspberries, with dense fine particles on it, which is very attractive to look at.
Yuan Ming didn't know any of these wild fruits, and the reason why he picked them back was because the hunger from his stomach became more and more intense, and he couldn't wait for his trap to show his might.
He was also very entangled when he picked them, for fear of coming back with poison, so he could only judge them simply by observing whether these wild fruits had been eaten by wild beasts.
And the things he brought back to the cave were all chosen by him.
After blocking the hole with the roots, Yuan Ming picked up the smallest red raspberry-like fruit with some hesitation, put it in his mouth, and bit it down.
The sweet juice instantly overflowed Yuan Ming's teeth and cheeks, making him can't help but widen his eyes.
After tasting it, Yuan Ming found that he didn't feel anything special, so he continued to eat.
After eating the little red fruit, it only satisfied his taste buds, and did not alleviate his hunger in the slightest.
So, Yuan Ming began to try a second color of red, small as a cherry.
The color of this fruit is more vivid than that of red raspberries, and it looks crystal clear and very full and smooth, so it should taste good at first glance.
Yuan Ming picked one up and put it in his mouth, and the moment he chewed it, he was disappointed.
A sour and numbing juice mixed with the hard flesh of the fruit flowed between his teeth and cheeks, and the feeling was stronger than chewing a large handful of peppercorns.
Yuan Ming spit out the fruit residue while sticking out his tongue.
As a result, when he wanted to reminisce with the raspberry fruit, he realized that he had eaten the fruit cleanly before he knew it.
The numbness in his mouth not only did not slow down with the passage of time, but became more and more intense, and even spread to Yuan Ming's cheeks.
He had to pick up the last of the purple-red fruit, which was as big as an apple, and took a bite of it.
There was a "click" sound.
As soon as the skin of the purple fruit was bitten, a slightly sweet and slightly sour smell immediately covered the numbness smell, and it was replaced by an indescribable fragrance.
It's like a mixture of orange and apple, and the more you smell it, the more you feel like you can't stop it.
"Delicious!"
Yuan Ming couldn't help but take a deep sniff, and the moment the rich taste rushed into his nose, his eyes suddenly blurred, and his whole body immediately became extremely stiff, and he fell straight to the side.
"Rush, rush, figure ......"
Yuan Ming's stiff tongue could no longer accurately say the word "poisoning", and then his eyes rolled and he passed out.
When he woke up again, it was already evening, and the sunset outside could not shine in from the direction of the cave entrance, and the cave was a little dark.
Yuan Ming sat up with his hands on the ground, moved his hands and feet, and found that except for a slight soreness, there was no obvious abnormality, and even his mind did not feel faint, as if he had just slept for a while.
He rubbed his eyebrows, glanced at the uneaten wild fruit on the ground, and his stomach "growled" again.
"We can't go on like this, otherwise we won't be able to kill a beast for sperm and blood, I'm afraid I will have to starve to death first and become the beast's rations."
Yuan Ming thought for a moment, stood up, and walked out of the cave.
Looking at the coming night, he quickened his pace and returned to the river.
Since wild fruits can't be eaten casually, and it's hard to get hungry, it's better to come back and catch some piranhas to satisfy your hunger.
Yuan Ming walked to the shore, looked at the turbid waves, and was thinking about how to fish, when he suddenly heard the sound of beast roars coming from the mountains and forests behind him.
He immediately became nervous, and after running out in a few steps, his body jumped upward, jumped directly two feet high, climbed the horizontal branch of an old tree, and climbed to the tree.
He prostrate himself and looked from a high place at the place where the sound came from, but he was obscured by the mottled branches and leaves in the distance, and he could not see anything clearly.
After some hesitation, Yuan Ming still stood up in the forest and leaned over there carefully.
After leaping over seven or eight trees, Yuan Ming stopped on a huge towering tree, although it was still ten zhang away, but through the gap in the branches in front of him, he could already see the situation there.
"Bang"
A dull crashing sound sounded, and in the mountain forest in front of him, a green wolf was knocked over by another gray wolf with a larger body, and his body slammed into an old tree, which shook the old tree and fell the leaves in a row.
After the green wolf got up, he didn't stop at all, jumped up, pounced directly on the gray wolf, and tore it together.
Yuan Ming looked at this scene, but his brows couldn't help frowning.
The action of the green wolf who broke the tree before was a little indescribably strange, and no matter how you look at it, it feels a little awkward.
Before he could figure it out, the fight between the two wolves had come to an end.
Long before Yuan Ming arrived, they had already hit each other hard, and now both of them didn't have much combat power, the gray wolf bit the throat of the green wolf, and his abdomen also cracked, and the blood and intestines had already flowed all over the ground.
In the center of the field, all that was left was the dying whimper of the two wolves.
"There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there, so it seems that my luck is good." Seeing this scene, Yuan Ming was overjoyed.
As long as he can get the beast blood of these two wolves, won't he have completed the task?
"You have to wait while it's hot, and the blood will clot until it's dead, but you won't be able to get it out." Yuan Ming was in a hurry, and hurriedly flew over there.
However, the moment his figure jumped, he saw a scene that made his spine chill.
The green wolf, whose throat had been bitten off, shrank little by little under his gaze, revealing two Terran soles from under the wide wolf skin, followed by calves, and finally turned into a complete Terran body.
The green wolf was one of the few savages who had traveled with him before, and he had transformed into a furry beast.
Seeing this, Yuan Ming couldn't help but stiffen, stopped on an old tree, and a sense of sadness rose in his heart.
It was this moment of stay that saved his life.
The bushes below were swaying, and a hyena with brown hair rushed out from all directions, and with incredible speed, it tore straight at the corpse of the gray wolf.
Soon, a hyena spotted the wild man's carcass, bit him by the ankle, and dragged it out from under the skin of the green wolf, which immediately attracted the scramble of the other two hyenas.
The three hyenas tore at the wild man's body, and soon devoured it all, leaving only a pile of bones.
Yuan Ming looked at the tragic scene below, glad that he didn't go over, otherwise there would be absolutely no chance of surviving under the siege of more than a dozen hyenas.
It's just a pity that the gray wolf, the beast blood will definitely not be available.
Yuan Ming continued to crawl on the tree, watching this feast of beasts sharing food the whole time, and did not dare to make a sound.
After about a cup of tea, the hyenas finished eating, and ate the two corpses cleanly, not even the internal organs, stomach and intestines, only the white bones remained, and then they left together.
Yuan Ming waited patiently on the tree for a long time, and only after seeing that there were no other beasts appearing, did he swing over from the tree.
After landing on the ground, he saw the mess all over the ground and smelled the fishy smell in the air, he unexpectedly did not feel sick to his stomach, but felt that there was a trace of tempting sweetness in the bloody smell.
He found some bones from the remaining gray wolf skeletons that had not yet been eaten, held them in his arms and climbed up the tree again, and only when it was safe did he start to gnaw on them.
At this moment, Yuan Ming's mind was extremely calm, he didn't think about anything useless, just calmly thought about what to do next, so that he could complete the task and go back alive.
Tomorrow is the last day, and he doesn't have much time left.
After eating the flesh and blood of those gray wolves, Yuan Ming threw the bones down the tree, and when he stood up, he immediately felt a hot current spreading from his lower abdomen, and his whole body began to warm up.
"This flesh and blood is so nourishing, and its strength has recovered a lot, much stronger than those river fish and wild fruits." Yuan Ming was overjoyed, jumped down from the tree, and landed firmly on the ground.
He went to the gray wolf's bones, picked out a few sharp ribs from them, and picked out two tibia three or four feet long, and found a vine and tied them up.
When he turned around, Yuan Ming saw the bones of the wild man that had been scattered, and after hesitating, he still helped him gather together and buried them with earth, stone and leaves.
"Dust to dust, dust to dust." Yuan Mingnian snorted.
With that, he stood up, glanced at the furry skin of the green wolf that had fallen aside, resisted the urge to take it away, and dragged the bundle of bones away.
Not long after he left, at the top of the old tree where he was hiding, above the entire forest canopy, a figure stood with his hands in his hands, its tall figure was the elder calling out for fire.
I saw that it fell lightly from the top of the tree on tiptoe, and leaned over to pick up the green wolf skin.
"This Central Plains person is a bit interesting." Elder Huhuo glanced at the direction in which Yuan Ming had left, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
