Chapter Thirty-Seven: Desperate Survival
I looked at the hour, and it was noon. Yun Ci knew that this was the hottest time of the day, and she was not a fool, she would not rush into the desert and be burned to death.
Although I have been training in a secret realm, I don't know if there is a real death, but no one is stupid enough to defy the law.
At this moment, I already felt layers of sweat bubbling out. It's too hot! Yun Ci wiped the sweat that was about to flow into his eyes from his forehead, and hurriedly jumped off the boulder and hid in the shadow of the boulder.
Yun Ci felt much cooler, and decided to rest for a while and wait until it was not so hot before going outside. When you think about it, you can meditate, although you don't have spiritual power, but you can nourish your spirit.
The sun moved down little by little until it fell from view. Yun Ci leaned out a hand from under the boulder and slowly felt the temperature.
After pausing for a long time, I felt that the temperature was slowly dropping, and I was relieved to move my whole body out. He vigorously ripped off a large hem of his garment, and then split it in two, one part covering his neck and one part covering his mouth and nose.
These are all methods mentioned in the book to reduce water loss. Yun Ci has no field experience, so he can only believe in it.
Then find the right direction and walk slowly into the distance.
Finding direction is not an easy task, Yun Ci memorizes the mantra: "Face the sun, the front is east, the back is west, the left is north, and the right is south." "First face the place where the sun goes down, and she still knows that the sun is setting in the west. Make sure that you are facing east, and then turn to the left-hand side according to the mantra to turn to the north.
When I felt sweating a lot, I quickly stopped, there was no water or food in this secret realm, and Yun Ci could only feel more sorry for himself.
The sky is slowly getting darker, and the temperature is dropping faster and faster. There was a rustling sound in the sand. Yun Ci knew that it was the natives of the desert who came out to do the activity.
And she should find a place to light a fire to forage for food and rest, and it will get colder and colder when she walks.
Yun Ci continued by the moonlight until he found two large stones that had been stacked on top of each other in small parts. Go to the place behind the stone and clear a piece of the area.
Then put down the dead branches in your hand that you have picked up along the way.
Making a fire is another problem.
But there was no hurry, she needed to find food first, there was nothing but food in the desert but the little beast.
Under the bright moonlight, Yun Ci squatted patiently in the desert, scanning the sand in front of him. She didn't know what would happen in the sand, it could be a snake, it could be a rat, it could be a lizard.
No matter which one it is, catch it and eat it.
The weapon is a hairpin that pulls the hair on the head, and when it is removed, the long hair is draped over the back, which adds warmth.
Fortunately, it was a rat, and the hairpin in Yun Ci's hand flew out and pierced into the rat's neck. Thanks to the experience in the Triple Secret Realm, otherwise this thorn would not have been hit. Fortunately, the hairpin is not a hosta, otherwise it would have to be broken.
Yun Ci ran over and carried the rat back to the pile of dead branches, calculating in his heart where to make a fire and how to ensure that the rat could be cooked.
Yun Ci put down the rat and took out a thin stick instead of a hairpin. Wipe the blood off the hairpin and start a fire.
It's very primitive to drill wood for fire, Song's mother taught, she still remembers.
It was slow, but it did start a fire. Place the rat directly on the fire and add firewood little by little.
The taste of rat meat is good, and after Yun Ci finished eating, he meditated by the fire and waited for the dawn to come.
At dawn, Yun Ci woke up from his sleep and followed the morning star north.
The next night was not so lucky, did not find a suitable place to rest, and saw a wolf.
Yun Ci stood in place and looked at the wolf.
She didn't dare to do it, wolves are social animals, and even if she could kill this small one, there would be a lot of big ones.
Don't dare to do it, can't do it.
The wolf's green eyes gleamed as it slowly paced down the dunes.
After a day and a half in the desert, Yun Ci's face and head were covered with dust. The long hair looked messy because it was scattered, and it was subjected to wind and sand, and the hair was clumped together and turned into strands. The black hair was covered with a layer of sand and turned dark brown, and the hair hanging down from the ears covered most of the cheeks.
The wolf walked slowly, as if walking on the sand.
Yun Ci's heart was terrified, don't come, don't come!
I hope you're so full that you go out for a walk and eat.
A man and a wolf were not far apart, and although the little wolf walked very slowly, it still reached a place two feet away from Yunci.
The cloud is in a hurry, and the changes are not moving, and the tree is closed.
If you don't move, I won't move, but don't come here!
The wolf let out a low whimper and sat down with its slender body bent down, its furry tail wagging behind it. A pair of big eyes full of curiosity, what is this? Can you eat it?
Looking at the little wolf alone is still cute, but Yun Ci doesn't feel it, she just wants the little wolf to go quickly and stay away from her.
The little wolf carefully looked at Yun Ci, rummaging through his memories in his mind, trying to determine whether this thing was a kind of food or not.
I don't have this kind of thing in my memory, so let's try it, it looks like a guy who can't walk.
See if you can drink water.
The little wolf approached Yun Ci and then used his paws to dig the roots of the tree.
So deep? Sure enough, I can survive here.
The more the wolf digs, the more excited it becomes, and the deeper the roots, the more water it hides, so just dig hard!
Slowly, I realized that something was wrong, and I was afraid that it was not a tree.
Is it a stone?
Give it a try.
The wolf cub raised its paws covered in yellow sand, and its sharp claws glowed in the moonlight. The sharp thorn at the tip of the claw looked at the cloud and the heart was abrupt.
Hell, she is not afraid of bloodshed, but she is afraid that the smell of blood will cause this little wolf to go crazy.
O heaven, O earth, which secret realm set up by the elders, is going to die!
Woo...... I'm only seven years old, and I don't want to die yet.
The claws slowly approached Yun Ci's legs, Yun Ci was in a hurry, and the wind happened to come, and Yun Ci slowly swung the hairpin in his hand with the wind.
With a "snap", Yun Ci used his strength, just enough to push away the little wolf's paws.
The little wolf was startled and stepped back violently, three feet away.
looked at Yun Ci with vigilance, and a fierce aura appeared from his eyes, and then spread all over his body.
It is mild and harmless before the change.
Yun Ci was so frightened that he continued to pretend to be a tree, and he was so scared that he couldn't show a trace on his face.
The wolf is such a thing as a very sharp thing, and if she shows the slightest expression, she will lose all her efforts. This wolf will attack directly, and then it will be difficult to do.
After all, the wolf is the top existence in the desert, and after careful observation, it is decided to make a preemptive attack, whether it is a tree, a stone, or an animal, everything can be understood with one paw.
The little wolf raised his head to the sky and roared, rushing towards Yun Ci, who was in a hurry.
Seeing that the sharp claws were about to pierce into Yun Ci's body, a wolf howl was heard in the distance.
The little wolf paused, and glanced at Yun Ci hesitantly. Turned around and ran, ran a few steps and turned his head to look at Yun Ci. ran for a while, then looked back at Yun Ci, and repeated truthfully, until he could no longer see Yun Ci, and then ran away with confidence.
Yun Ci breathed a sigh of relief.
