In the next two days, Zhang Tie did not gain anything, whether it was in the small tree or in the Wild Wolf Valley. In these two days, Zhang Tie's luck seemed to have run out all at once.
After saving Bond and killing five giant wolves and one wild wolf that day, Zhang Tie didn't encounter a wolf in the Wild Wolf Valley for two consecutive days. Others have been encountered by wild boars, hares, pheasants, argali and pangolins. Once, we even encountered a fat water badger wagging from a place not far from Zhang Tie. He swayed past, but Zhang Tie didn't make a move. Now Zhang Tie's entire goal was on the Wild Wolf Seven Power Fruit, which was less than half mature. With enough food prepared, Zhang Tie felt that these things There is no point in killing any more.
Zhang Tie never kills just for the sake of killing, even if it has become a very simple matter for Zhang Tie to kill these small animals now. But as my mother often told Zhang Tie, if it is not necessary, it is better for a person to commit fewer crimes.
Killing wild wolves was to improve his own strength, but Zhang Tie really didn't think it was necessary to kill these small animals that didn't have much resistance (well, maybe the wild boar was a threat).
Zhang Tie killed a giant wolf a few days ago. The best front and hind legs of the giant wolf were cut into strips by Zhang Tie using the method Tang De taught him, and burned on a pile of half-dry and half-wet pine branches. The fire hung smoky all afternoon, and then Zhang Tie hung it at the entrance of the cliff to let it dry naturally. Tang De said that if there is not enough salt and ingredients for pickling, use This method of smoking and burning is the way to preserve the fresh meat for the longest time. Zhang Tie tried it and found that it was indeed the case, and don't tell me, the giant wolf that was dried after being smoked and burned Meat. It seems to have a special taste, and the texture is quite good, just like dried meat that has been processed and can be eaten after cutting it. Therefore, Zhang Tie has no shortage of food. What Zhang Tie lacks is just wild wolves.
A month after the trial, the trial teams who became more and more courageous in order to obtain food were moving further and further away from the Wild Wolf Castle, and the Wild Wolf's living space was being compressed step by step. The number of wild wolves in the valley is also decreasing, so it is becoming increasingly difficult to hunt wild wolves at this time. From the beginning of the trial to now, Zhang Tie estimates that at least more than 1,000 wild wolves have been killed in the valley, even if there were enough wolves in the Wild Wolf Valley before. It also became sparse at this time.
Because food is getting harder and harder to obtain, the second month of the survival trial is the most testing. As for Barry, Pandora and the others, Zhang Tie is not worried. Their food is enough for them to last until the trial is over.
Compared with food, Zhang Tie is more worried about Gris and the others now. Zhang Tie was worried that Gris and the others might cause trouble for Barry and Pandora. They were despicable, ruthless, and powerful guys. is the most dangerous.
Bruce said that he saw Gris fighting with the golden wolf and gaining the upper hand, which made Zhang Tie guess that maybe that guy Gris also hid some strength in the school. Or maybe he made some breakthrough in this trial, anyway. Gris's current strength is best calculated in terms of level three warriors. We can no longer look at him through the old eyes of level two. If he will improve, others will also improve. No one will stay the same forever, not even the three losers like Sharon, Zuhair, and Janel around Gris. Zhang Tie feels that if one day he hears that they ignited the shrine's bright spot during the trial, I won't be surprised at all.
Never imagine that your enemy is as good as you are, and never imagine that your enemy is as good as you have known him before. These are two of the most dangerous thoughts that can come into your head about enemies and opponents.
Just like themselves, did Gris and the others know that in one day, they would ignite the second bright point on their spine and become a third-level soldier
So, after staying at the No. 2 foothold for another two days, Zhang Tie made an important decision - to advance into the Crescent Grassland when the latest unleakable fruit was about to mature in one day.
This morning, after the sun rose, Zhang Tie carried his luggage, packed his equipment, and left the cave on the cliff.
Today's weather is very good, the sun is bright, and the sky is cloudless. Out of the prudence of a solitary traveler and the experience gained from communicating with Bruce, Zhang Tie had already explored the road ahead yesterday afternoon, and had a meeting with him in the Wild Wolf Valley. The border area at the junction of Crescent Grassland found a foothold for himself.
The farther we go, the terrain of the valley becomes more and more open, the hills in the valley become sparser and sparse, and the highlands in the valley become shorter and shorter. It's like an invisible big hand is combing through the valley. There are no trees that Zhang Tie can touch. The trees and shrubs are getting lower and lower, and there are fewer and fewer, while the herbaceous plants are full and abundant. At the back, the tall trees in the valley are basically gone, and there are only a few shrubs mixed in among the large grassland and hills. In the middle, there are also the two tall mountain ridges extending out of the valley, reminding Zhang Tie that he is already within the scope of the Wild Wolf Valley at this moment, but the increasingly low mountain ridges also remind Zhang Tie that what lies ahead Not far away, it is no longer within the scope of the Wild Wolf Valley.
This kind of open terrain is the most dangerous killer for all rookies who are still in the combat stage, because in this kind of terrain, you basically have no way to avoid or escape, and you can use the surroundings There are fewer and fewer environmental factors that allow you to escape and avoid danger.
Because of this, the route chosen by Zhang Tie basically followed the hillside in the southeast of Yelang Valley. The road on the hillside was not easy to walk. Compared with walking in the valley, it was difficult to walk the same section. Distance requires longer time and more physical strength on the hillside, but the terrain on the hillside allows people to detect danger in advance. When encountering danger, there are more terrain factors that can be used. It is the simplest and most convenient. What makes people feel at ease is that when there are no tall trees in the valley, there are still some on the hillside. These tall trees are sometimes the best refuge for you to avoid some dangerous beasts.
Zhang Tie has been practicing climbing trees a lot these days.
Along the way, Zhang Tie also encountered several gold-eating python caves. However, compared with the caves around the Wild Wolf Castle, in terms of the distribution density of these gold-eating python caves, the closer they were to the Crescent Grassland, the number of these caves became smaller. The less you get. The reduction of the gold-eating python's caves means that the gold-eating python's deterrent effect on other beasts and various mutant creatures has weakened, and it also means that the number of dangerous creatures is gradually increasing. Not only the number of dangerous creatures, but also the most common wild wolves, has gradually increased.
The grassland is naturally the hunting ground for wolves!
Along the way, because of the good viewing angle on the hillside, Zhang Tie saw more wild wolves in the valley in the distance, and he spotted several groups along the way. There were as few as two or three, and as many as nearly a dozen. This made Zhang Tie feel very good, feeling that the first Wild Wolf Seven Power Fruit was already waving to him.
The power of a wild wolf! In his heart, Zhang Tie's saliva had already overflowed into a river.
"Help... ah..." Just as Zhang Tie was trekking cautiously all morning. Less than two miles further ahead, when he was at his chosen foothold, a gust of wind blowing from the direction of Crescent Grassland carried a faint cry for help and moans to Zhang Tie's ears. At first, Zhang Tie thought it was an illusion, because Zhang Tie walked alone all morning and didn't meet anyone. How could he hear someone calling for help? Then after walking a few steps, the voice seemed to ring in Zhang Tie's ears again. This made Zhang Tie know that this was not an illusion, but real. The voice seemed to be coming from in front of him.
"Help… "
Zhang Tie took out a spear from his spear bag with his backhand and arched his body. He slowed down his steps and tiptoed forward. Before he had walked twenty meters forward, Zhang Tie saw the guy who was shouting for help in a weak voice. When Zhang Tie saw the guy lying on the ground for the first time, he didn't go over. Instead, he squatted down and carefully observed that there were no traps or ambushes around him. When he was sure that nothing was abnormal and that the guy didn't look like he was pretending, Zhang Tiecai stood up and ran over.
Zhang Tie has met many unlucky guys in his life, but the one he met today is definitely the most unlucky one he has met in the past fifteen years. Even that guy Doug may not have been so unlucky. This one How unlucky must one be to step on an animal trap placed at the foot of the mountain by that wicked guy in this wild wolf valley where you can walk everywhere
On the grass at the foot of the mountain in front, a guy dressed as a pioneer was lying on the ground. A beast trap the size of a washbasin was biting the guy's left calf, and it was everywhere on the ground and the guy's pants. They were all stained with blood. Some of these blood stains were from this unlucky guy, and some were from the two dead wolves on the grass next to him.
When Zhang Tie walked over, the guy had his eyes closed tightly, his face was as pale as paper, and his consciousness was almost on the verge of collapse, but he was still using his last strength to whisper "Help..." from time to time. Moaning intermittently.
Zhang Tie first checked the blood stains on the animal trap and the guy's injuries. The blood stains had darkened and solidified. It seemed that it had been some time, at least more than ten hours, when the unlucky guy's calf bone was directly broken by the animal trap. The two rows of serrations on the clip bit into the flesh of this guy's calf. Zhang Tie only took a glance at that kind of wound and found it a bit shocking.
After looking at the wounds on the man's body, Zhang Tie looked at the corpses of the two dead wolves next to him. Zhang Tie just touched the hardness of the wolf corpses with his hands, which confirmed what he had just thought. This unfortunate guy has really been lying here since last night.
Zhang Tie could even imagine in his mind what happened here last night - this guy who didn't know why he was wandering around in the Wild Wolf Valley at night was passing by and accidentally stepped on this beast that was hidden by a small disguise. Clamp, the beast trap knocked this guy down, this guy screamed loudly, and then attracted two wild wolves. The two wild wolves were killed by this guy, and then this guy was caught by a beast trap while sleeping in the open air. After lying there all night, after all this suffering, now, this guy is really lucky if he doesn't die, but even if he doesn't die, he is almost dying now.
Zhang Tie looked around and saw no one. Who knew there was a person lying on the ground here? There were a few black spots flying in the sky. He didn't know if they were eagles or vultures.
If he didn't save him, this guy would definitely not survive the night. He might end up in the belly of a wild wolf before dark. Along the way, Zhang Tie saw more than one wild wolf wandering around. In this guy's current state, if one more wild wolf comes along, he'll be finished.
"Help... life..." The guy, who was almost in a semi-conscious state, called out again in a low voice.
Zhang Tie scratched his head helplessly, and then looked at the face of this guy who was in his twenties. Thinking of his mother crying looking at the photo of his dead brother, Zhang Tie sighed helplessly, "Save someone." …
He took off the luggage and spear pouch that contained the sleeping bag and various things on his back, placed these things that would affect his movements on the grass next to him, and then, while trying not to touch the wound on this guy's leg, he carefully lifted this guy. He lifted him up from the ground, made his upper body stand upright, and sat on the ground leaning on his own legs. At the same time, he carefully removed the dagger from this guy's hand. Zhang Tie didn't want to be caught by this unconscious man when he was rescuing people. If a guy randomly hits you with a dagger, then you will really become a more unlucky person than this guy.
After a night of pain and suffering, as well as a lot of blood loss, this guy's face was as white as paper, and his lips were as chapped as crops that had not been watered by rain for several years. There were white cracks everywhere. Zhang Tie used one hand to Supporting him, he untied the kettle from his waist with one hand, then unscrewed the lid of the kettle, brought the aluminum kettle to the guy's mouth, and took a sip of water.
The water in the kettle is the high-quality mountain spring produced by Black Iron Castle. This water is the best water that Zhang Tie has ever drunk. It is clear, sweet, and smooth. Ever since Zhang Tie took a sip of this water, Zhang Tie has been I have been drinking this water for several days.
After just drinking a sip of water, less than ten seconds later, this guy's vitality and instinct seemed to be awakened, and he began to unconsciously mutter "water... water... water...", Zhang Tie fed him carefully. This guy was drinking water, fearing that he would choke. After taking many sips, this guy's throat trembled, and his drinking rhythm began to increase. After drinking half a bottle of water, Zhang Tie took the bottle from this guy's lips. Take it away, and then wait quietly for this guy to regain his strength and consciousness.
After only a minute, this guy opened his eyes, glanced at Zhang Tie, then closed them again. After more than ten seconds, he opened them again, looked at Zhang Tie, and spoke slowly in a hoarse voice. Slowly spit out two words, "Thank you...".
Seeing that this guy had regained his consciousness and understood what had happened, Zhang Tie finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he could wake up, it would be easy. Besides, in addition to being able to open his eyes, this guy's breathing could not be stopped. The strength and the ups and downs between the chest and abdomen have also become larger, and it seems that he will not die all of a sudden.
Just like the teacher said, this fruit is indeed the source of life, its role is irreplaceable, and nothing can live without it.
Zhang Tie asked this guy to sit on his lap and let him recover a little strength first.
After just two minutes, the guy seemed to have recovered a little.
"Is there still water..."
Zhang Tie handed the kettle over. The guy could already hold the kettle with his own hands and drink water. When the guy took a big gulp of water, Zhang Tie flicked the kettle on the guy's waist with his finger. There was a message in the kettle. The sound of the air made Zhang Tie speechless for a while - the unlucky guy, he had already drank all the water he brought, stepped on the animal trap, and stayed up all night, no wonder he was so hungry and thirsty.
