Chapter 8: Survival in the Wilderness

Qi Li swam to the other side of the lake and went ashore, knowing that it would be difficult to get another prey with his current physical strength, so he set a trap by the lake and caught two fish to fill his stomach.

After some chase just now, Qi Li knew that although his body had improved a little, he had not fully recovered, and the top priority was to recover from his injuries before considering getting out of the forest. In the next few days, Qi Li stayed by the lake during the day to fish, hunt and practice martial arts, and at night he found a safe place to rest nearby, and his life was easy and comfortable.

When he was twelve or thirteen years old, he ate more and recovered faster. After a few days of rest, Qi Li's body had returned to the state before the injury, and he felt that it was time to find a way out of the Wanshou Mountain Forest.

When it was time to really find a way out, Qi Li realized how difficult it was.

The forest of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain is boundless, although the direction can be confirmed, but now Qi Li does not know where he is and which direction he is going to get out of the forest.

If you move in one direction, it's fine, it's only a matter of time to get out. But he was worried that if he went deeper and deeper in one direction and accidentally broke into a powerful demon beast territory deep in the deep forest, wouldn't his little life be over at that time.

After analysis, although many of the beasts Qi Li encountered in the past few days were not what he could hunt now, it was still no problem to save his life, and there was no such strong outrageous demon beast yet, Qi Li deduced that he should not be deep in the forest now, and should be in the middle of the forest. As long as you can determine the general direction, it should still be possible to go out.

Dodging a few ferocious beasts, they stalked carefully and climbed one of the highest nearby peaks. He looked out from the top of the mountain, and saw that all around him was an endless green patch, and he couldn't see the border of the forest at all. At this time, Qi Li was completely disoriented, such a large forest, ordinary hunters would definitely not be able to go deep. Those who have the ability to come in can only be cultivators, but with such a large forest, I don't know if it will take tens or hundreds of years for a cultivator to come.

Qi Li was completely desperate, and it seemed that if he wanted to get out of this Wanshou Mountain forest, he could only gamble.

Qi Li remembered hearing the master mention that Qingyun Mountain was located in the north of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Forest. So he made the decision to set off for the north. You can't get out horizontally and vertically, so it's better to gamble, and you can have more chances of returning to the sect.

In this way, Qi Li set off alone towards the northern part of the forest. The sun rises and the sun sets. When you are thirsty, you drink mountain spring water, when you are hungry, you can hunt with your hands, and you can set up a bonfire to eat. In the face of the murderous and endless loneliness around him, Qi Li regarded him as a kind of cultivation.

The forest is full of dangers, from time to time there are fierce beasts rushing out, Qi Li went all the way through the territory of many fierce beasts, he can find him far away, and it is inevitable that he will go through a fierce battle. After continuous fighting, recovery, and continuous fighting, Qi Li's combat power has far surpassed that when he first entered the forest of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.

In the past few months, Qi Li's strength in the battle has been constantly improving, and he has also been injured many times in the battle, and now his body is covered with large and small wounds, combined with solid muscles like a rock, giving people a strong sense of oppression. Now Qi Li is more like a fierce beast, exuding a strong fighting aura all over his body, so that some weak beasts can flee before they can get close.

Recently, Qi Li obviously felt that the fierce beasts he encountered were even more powerful, and many of them already had some spiritual intelligence and talent, which was close to the category of demon beasts. The battle made Qi Li feel a little difficult, and he was worried that it would not be long before he might encounter a powerful demon beast, and then it would not be something he could solve with a dagger by himself. So now Qi Li is walking more carefully, and he needs to observe the situation around him at all times, and the progress of the road is slower.

In the deep mountains and dense forests, the towering peaks and cliffs and the lush canopy of trees will hide the sunset early. It was dusk again, and the sun was hidden in the mountains, and the huge mouth of the night swallowed up the entire forest in the blink of an eye. The cicadas and birds in the forest stopped shouting, and most of the wild animals began to rest. Occasionally, the roars and cries of some nocturnal beasts and birds can be heard from afar, which is particularly distant in the endless forest.

Qi Li stood up from a tall canopy and stretched, he knew it was time to start on his way. The strength of the beasts encountered recently is strong, and Rao is Qi Li's strength has increased greatly now, and he is still a little unbearable, reporting the idea that he can't hide from it, Qi Li changed his strategy of hurrying. After all, the ultimate goal is to get out of the Wanshou Mountain forest, and it is the same whether you walk during the day or at night. Qi Li also thought about changing the route ahead, but after trying, he found that the surroundings were also full of dangers, either there were also fierce beasts, or there were swamp miasma, peaks and valleys to block, Qi Li had no other way, but to look for the north, detour forward, after a few months of hurrying, Qi Li had lost his way and could not find a safe route. He knew that he was alone, and staying in this endless Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Forest for a long time could only lead to a dead end. If you bite the bullet and explore it, there may be a chance to live.

During this time, Qi Li hurried at night, and took advantage of the night to avoid many crises. It's just that his luck doesn't seem so good today.

The sun sets, Qi Li jumped down the big tree where he was hiding, after confirming the direction, he folded off an unknown bush of lush bushes at hand and made a hat and put it on his head, this shrub can be seen everywhere in the forest, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, the stems and leaves are thornless, but there is a faint smell, the distance is close to make people smell a little uncomfortable, this is a means of this shrub to drive away natural enemies and protect themselves. However, it is this ubiquitous and easily overlooked plant that can be used to mask the smell of Qi Li's own body. It provides a safe guarantee for traveling at night.

After the sun completely set, the forest was dark, but fortunately, after a few months of forest life, Qi Li was able to quickly adapt to the darkness, even in the deep forest, he could travel normally.

Taking advantage of the cover of the night, Qi Li quickly passed through the territory of an ironclad bear, the fur on this bear is abnormally strong, even a knife and gun are difficult to penetrate its skin to cause effective damage to it, and the ironclad bear stands up to a height of three meters, the strength is infinite, the forefoot is as big as a dustpan, and a palm is enough to break a small tree, and the combat power is not strong. But fortunately, this ironclad bear is known as a blind bear, and his ears and eyes are not clear, even during the day, his eyesight and hearing are not very good, but his sense of smell is sensitive. Qi Li took advantage of the night to wear a hat made of stinky bushes to hide his smell, but he easily avoided the blind bear who snored like thunder.

Before he knew it, it was late at night, and after passing through the territory of the Iron Bear, Qi Li stopped to rest for a while, and the stored jerky he took out and chewed it to regain his strength.

A breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness to the dreary dense forest, and Qi Li looked up at the sky, there was no moon in the black hole. There was a lot of humidity in the forest, and Qi Li had a lot of sweat left behind after traveling overnight, and his clothes were sticky and greasy on his body, which was very uncomfortable. The breeze blew, making Qi Li shiver, and the exhaustion on his body seemed to be swept away with the breeze. It also lifted his spirits. He listened intently and noticed in the distance the rustle of animals crawling against the grass, which was almost inaudible mixed with the rubbing of leaves in the wind.

"What a cunning beast," Qi Li thought to himself. The other party is lurking here, and he must be prepared. But it's not the first time to encounter a beast, Qi Li knows that he can't dodge, it's better to give it a go, if he is cowardly before he fights, then there is only a dead end.

Qi Li threw the remaining dried meat in his hand into the distance, only to hear a muffled sound and a low roar. Suddenly, patches of glowing green eyes appeared in front of him. Seeing this scene, Qi Li's heart was cold, and he gasped: "It's bad, this is a wolf's den."
