After walking for more than half an hour, Long Xiangtian's legs were weak and he was panting harder than a cow. He saw another cliff in front of him. It was probably a bend that Long Xiangtian didn't even know. He hadn't slept or eaten for a whole day and night, and he had to be vigilant all the time. Running in the mountains continuously was unbearable even for a strong man.
The weather in the mountains changed suddenly. A dark cloud came up and blocked the sun. Coupled with the already poor light in the woods, it was already pitch black here and nothing could be seen. Long Xiangtian looked at his watch. It was already seven o'clock. He just hoped that it would not rain.
After climbing a small hill, Long Xiangtian saw a large depression on the stone wall not far away. It was obviously a cave. No matter what, he would find the place tonight.
Long Xiangtian came to the cave and threw a few stones into it. Seeing no movement, he walked in carefully with a knife in his left hand and a stick in his right hand. If there were bears or something like that inside, he would have to rely on the weapons in his hands to kill them. Who knows, he might even have dinner for the night.
After entering the cave, there was no smell of animals except for a little dampness. It seemed that this was an empty cave. I took out a flashlight from my backpack and looked around. Although the cave entrance was not big, it was several dozen meters deep and more than ten meters high. There was a stone platform at the innermost part, and there was a small puddle under the stone platform. Water was dripping down from the stone wall. Not bad. This was where I would stay tonight.
Long Xiangtian went out again and got some branches and hay. It must be cold here at night. There might be wild beasts like wolves and bears. Fire can resist them for a while. The cave is deep and curved. If they live in it, there will be no light outside. Although he has a gun, he feels it is a bit wasteful to give them bullets.
Long Xiangtian collected a large pile of wood, and some of the rotten trees in the forest were also chopped down with his saber. If they were used sparingly, it should be enough to burn for one night.
Finally I could take a rest. Sitting in the cave, I felt very hungry. I thought that in addition to wild beasts, there should be small animals like rabbits and birds in the woods. I would just eat whatever I could. Then I went outside with my gun and knife.
After a while, Long Xiangtian returned to the cave and circled around it before he caught a big rabbit. However, there were still two snakes and he was almost eaten by them again.
"Boom..." Long Xiangtian had just walked into the cave when thunder sounded outside, followed by heavy rain. What he feared would come true. How would he get through tomorrow? But there were also advantages. At least visibility was low after the rain, and he couldn't hear any sound. It also washed away all the traces and smells he left on the road. Even if the other party found a few German Shepherds, Long Xiangtian would not be afraid.
Finally safe.
Long Xiangtian cut off the rabbit's fur with a knife near the cave, then cut open its belly, took out everything inside and threw it out, cut off its head and threw it away, took the rabbit back to the cave, and wanted to wash it in the small bubble, but there was too little water, only enough to wash his hands. Looking at the heavy rain outside, he could only let the rain wash it.
Take the saber and string the rabbit on it, find a place with more rain near the hole, and then put the rabbit underneath, leaving the rabbit's blood all over the ground. This method is very good, and it will be clean in a short time.
He piled up the stones he had found, put the wood in, took out a lighter, and lit the fire. It was better to carry a backpack, otherwise he might not even make it through the night. Long Xiangtian looked at the backpack on the ground and thought, it was not in vain to carry it so far.
After a while, the fire was big, Long Xiangtian took a knife and put the rabbit on the grill. After about ten minutes, oil began to flow down from the rabbit, sizzling continuously, and the meat was golden. After grilling for a while, the smell finally came out, Long Xiangtian grabbed a leg from the grill and took a bite.
It's cooked. Although there is no seasoning, it's not bad. At least it fills my stomach.
I was so hungry that I ate a whole rabbit in a short while. I finally had some strength. I saw two snakes lying on the ground. I cut their bottoms with a knife, took out the snake gallbladder and ate it. It was a great tonic.
After a full meal, I sat by the fire and finally had a chance to rest. I had nothing to do and was too tired, so I fell asleep without realizing it.
"Awoo..." A sharp wolf howl sounded in the distance, echoing in the night sky...!
Long Xiangtian shrugged in fear. Years of training had made him accustomed to staying alert while sleeping. He opened his eyes alertly and found that the bonfire next to him had gone out at some point. He had shrunk into a ball, probably because he felt cold.
Long Xiangtian sat up and listened quietly to the sounds outside. He seemed to have heard the howling of a wolf just now. It couldn't be an illusion.
“Ouch…!”
"So unlucky?" Although there was the sound of rain outside, Long Xiangtian could still hear it clearly and smiled bitterly in his heart.
Long Xiangtian quickly got some dry grass and branches and quickly started a fire. He sat by the fire with a knife in one hand and a gun in the other, standing on guard.
"Maybe they are here to take shelter from the rain as well," Long Xiangtian thought.
Suddenly, there was no more sound of rain outside. It stopped very suddenly. Because there was wind in the woods, the clouds dispersed quickly, and the moonlight shone closer. The woods at the entrance of the cave could be vaguely seen.
Although they had guns and knives in their hands, they were still very scared. The opponents were not people with ideas, but cold-blooded killers in the woods. Wolves were social animals, and they would appear in groups, ranging from a few to dozens.
Suddenly, he heard a "sizzling" sound in the woods outside. Long Xiangtian raised his head and looked outside, and sure enough, he saw something moving in the woods.
"Wolf, wolf, there are two snakes and a rabbit head outside, just eat them together first, don't come in, I will miss you when I return to my country..." Long Xiangtian looked outside and pleaded in his heart.
Long Xiangtian's heart slowly calmed down. In order to stop the wolves outside, Long Xiangtian had to add more hay and branches. Fortunately, Long Xiangtian had a lot of them outside, but it was impossible to last until dawn.
Long Xiangtian placed the branches while looking outside vigilantly. He didn't know how much time had passed before he threw the last branch into the fire. The fire was slowly dying down, and the wolves outside began to move around, their pairs of green eyes full of greed.
"Damn it, you are killers, and I'm not much worse than a killer. Come if you want!" Long Xiangtian stood up and shouted to the outside.
"Awooo..." Perhaps in response to Long Xiangtian's words, there were constant wolves barking at the entrance of the cave. Long Xiangtian pricked up his ears and listened carefully. After a preliminary estimate, there were at least dozens of wolves outside. Damn it, was he going to die here
