Chapter 17: The Fierce Elephant
"This is the outer forest of the Brute Mountain Range!" Zhang Ye untied the wood tied under his shoes, looked at the towering ancient trees in the forest, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
The outer forests of the Beast Mountains were just a river away from the previous primeval jungle, but they were very different. The most obvious is the trees in this forest, each of which is a thousand-year-old tree that is 100 feet high. Some ancient trees are hundreds of feet high, and depending on their age, they are at least thousands of years old.
As the saying goes: raise big fish in deep water. The woods are tall and tight, and can also breed ferocious beasts. From these hundreds of feet tall trees, you can imagine that the beasts inside are absolutely fierce.
Zhang Ye looked at the surrounding environment, quickly found a tree hole in a big tree, and after confirming that there were no dangerous beasts inside, he drilled in.
The previous series of fights, coupled with the desperate hurry, made the true qi in Zhang Ye's body depleted. Now this tree hole can be used to breathe and restore strength.
The quickest way to regain strength is to take pills. After some fighting, Zhang Ye had a lot of pills on his body, he gritted his teeth and took out the bottle of Qi Gathering Pill that was found from Zhou Yutao's body, and swallowed half of it.
Half of the Qi Gathering Pill was in the stomach, and the medicinal power was immediately turned into a hot flow under the impetus of the True Qi.
The Qi Gathering Pill is given to martial artists who are triple and above in the martial arts, and the medicinal power is very domineering. Although Zhang Ye swallowed only half of it, he also felt the true qi in his body, as if it was about to burst him.
Zhang Ye tried his best to control the surging true qi in his body, allowing the true qi to run round and round in the meridians. When he reached the ninth lap, Zhang Ye finally dissolved the medicinal power of this half of the Qi Gathering Pill. At this time, the true qi in his body had completely recovered, and there was still a slight increase.
"The pill is really a good thing. With only half a pill, the true qi in the whole body was replenished, and if there was an elixir to take every day, the cultivation speed would definitely be fast!" Zhang Ye checked the situation of the true qi in his body, and couldn't help but exclaim.
After a burst of amazement, Zhang Ye jumped down from the tree hole and found some strong-smelling plant juice in the woods, and applied it to his body to cover up his own smell. After doing this, he planted a dozen fresh branches on his body, disguising himself as a tree. Then he walked cautiously through the dense forest.
In order for a person to survive in the dense forest, two things must be done. The first is to quickly find something to satisfy hunger and replenish your physical strength. The second is to quickly find a place to hide and act as a stronghold.
Both of these things should be done before the evening comes. Because night is the time when the beast is infested, if you haven't found a place to fall at this time, you are definitely dead.
In the memory of Zhang Ye's awakening, there is a lot of knowledge about survival in the wilderness. This knowledge helped him a lot at this time, and it only took Zhang Ye less than two hours to find a cave that could be used as a temporary shelter. The cave is an abandoned beast's lair, the entrance of which can only be passed through by one person, but the space inside is large enough for several people to stay.
What satisfies Zhang Ye the most is that this cave has two openings. If there is an enemy ambush outside of a cave, you can escape from the entrance of another cave without being trapped inside.
Zhang Ye blocked a hole with a big stone, and was about to go out to find something to eat, when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in the distance, and even the ground shook. Zhang Ye stretched out his head, only to see a guy three feet tall suddenly rush out in the distance. This big guy's limbs are as thick as a cylinder, and his huge body looks very bulky to Lu Lai, but he runs extremely fast, and a group of needle-haired pigs the size of a water tank are chased by it so that there is no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground.
"What a big mammoth!" Zhang Ye recognized this guy at a glance, it was a mammoth known for its strength and thick skin. The average mammoth is only more than two zhang tall, but this guy is three zhang tall, and he knows at a glance that it is not an ordinary mammoth.
"Quack, quack, quack......" At this time, several screams were heard in the distance. Zhang Ye looked intently, only to see that the fierce mammoth elephant caught up with the needle pig, the thick and flexible nose was drawn out like a whip, and in the sound of "horn horn", the group of needle pigs was actually pumped into the air and screamed miserably.
"Bang bang bang-" The pigs fell to the ground like raindrops, and one by one they fell half to death.
The mammoth shook its head, let out a smug roar, and stepped forward to roll up a half-dead needle-haired pig and throw it into its big mouth. ,
Zhang Ye watched this mammoth roll up one by one needle pigs and throw them into his big mouth, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "It seems to be said in the book that ordinary mammoths don't eat meat, but this big guy not only eats meat, but also has an average good appetite!***, is this still an elephant?"
"Gege. The mammoth ate more than a dozen needle-haired pigs in one go, and then stopped eating and walked away in a hurry.
Seeing this mammoth elephant walking away, Zhang Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, and his body jumped down from the entrance of the cave and ran away. There were more than twenty needle-haired pigs that had been smashed half to death by the mammoth just now, and after the mammoth had eaten it, there were still a few left. Zhang Ye quickly rushed to the scene and ran towards a needle pig.
This is a fat needle pig, the needle pig is very fierce, although it was half killed by the mammoth, but its fierce character is still there, seeing Zhang Ye approaching, the nose "hummed", and the big mouth bit towards Zhang Ye.
Zhang Ye stepped forward, pressed its head, and raised his fist to hit its head with a punch. The needle-haired pig is worthy of thick skin and thick meat, and the power of Zhang Ye's punch is one or two thousand catties, and with such a heavy force on the head, Zhang Ye also spent more than ten punches to kill it. This gave Zhang Ye a new understanding of the strength of the fierce beasts in the dense forests on the periphery of the Brute Beast Mountain Range.
killed the needle pig, and Zhang Ye dragged it up and left. He's going to make this needle pig his own food. This needle-haired pig is two or three hundred catties, and with it, Zhang Ye can eat for a long time.
dragged the needle pig into the cave, and Zhang Ye let out a long sigh of relief. Now that he has food and shelter, he finally has a little guarantee of survival in this terrible dense forest.
Zhang Ye took out all the things in his arms, put them on a stone, and said, "Although I almost lost my life for a while, I have gained a lot. In the next time, let me make good use of these Quenching Pills and Qi Gathering Pills, cultivate them, and see if I can enter the late stage of martial arts in one go!"
