A weight suddenly jumped into his arms, Ji Xiaoou caught it reflexively, looked down, and breathed a sigh of relief.
The little leopard lay in her arms safe and sound, with his eyes half-closed, a little dew on his gray-black hair.
Ji Xiaoou looked at its hind legs again, the gauze was intact and there was no sign of the wound bursting.
Only then was she relieved, and she scratched its chin naturally, "Where did you go?"
She thought that the two leopard orcs came to make trouble during the day and took it away.
Ren didn't speak. The dignity of the leopard clan didn't allow him to show a comfortable expression when his chin was scratched.
Seeing his gloomy eyes, Ji Xiaoou thought he was unhappy, so he quickly took his hand away.
She almost forgot that no matter how harmless this little leopard was, it was also ferocious by nature.
She was so carried away.
Before Ji Xiaoou could finish his reflection, Ren turned his body sideways, bared his teeth in the direction of the woods, and let out a "grunt" sound from his throat.
Sure enough, Ji Xiaoou and Eric were attracted, Qi Qi looked towards the forest.
Eric held the firewood, took two steps forward, and took pictures of the surroundings, but found nothing.
Rhodes and Dordo had already left when they received Rennes' signal, and it was normal that he didn't find anything.
One person and one deer searched the surroundings. Ji Xiaoou thought that Ren ran out after hearing some danger, and even comforted him: "There is nothing around here, did you hear it wrong? It's okay, they shouldn't You will find it here, don't be afraid."
Tell a leopard not to be afraid, Eric can't stand it.
It was still early in the morning, Ji Xiaoou checked his watch, it was ten thirty in the evening.
This is the benefit after time travel, I go to bed very early every day.
Because when it got dark, Ji Xiaoou had nothing to do but close his eyes and sleep.
I don't know if it's because of enough sleep, but Ji Xiaoou feels that his skin and mental condition are better than before time travel.
There is nothing to say about the skin. She has been washing her face with water for the past few days, but she does not feel dry and greasy all day long.
As for the mental state, Ji Xiaoou used to only get things from the space through the backpack, but this morning he suddenly discovered that she can also take out a bar of chocolate from the space out of thin air. Her space is no longer limited to a small backpack.
It seems to be related to her mental state, for example, she slept very well last night and woke up refreshed in the morning.
Ji Xiaoou tried to get a good night's sleep tonight, to see if he would find anything new tomorrow morning.
However, after dawn, except for yesterday's change, the space is still the same as before.
This disappointed her a bit.
But at the same time, she also began to guess, is it only after accumulating a certain amount of sleep time that her space will trigger "new skills"
While Ji Xiaoou was thinking, Eric had picked wild fruits and fresh mushrooms from outside, and skillfully roasted the mushrooms.
Eric brought salt and pepper from home, and when the mushrooms were roasted by the fire, he sprinkled some salt and pepper, which tasted crispy and delicious.
Ji Xiaoou didn't know that grilled mushrooms were so delicious, so he forgot about the space for a while, and ate four or five in one sitting.
Eric smiled and said, "In the future, I can also grill corn and eggplant for you. These are all delicious."
Ji Xiaoou thanked him, seeing the little leopard lying on the side without moving, worried that it would be hungry during the day, so he put a baked mushroom on the ground in front of it, looking at it with black and white eyes, bright and clear Saying: "Eat it, it's delicious."
Ren raised his eyelids, glanced at the grilled shiitake mushrooms on the ground, and his expression faded.
Ji Xiaoou thought it wouldn't eat, but after a while, it stood up slowly and took the roasted mushrooms into its mouth.
Ji Xiaoou was surprised, and immediately brought him a grilled mushroom.
The little leopard frowned, not very interested, but ate it anyway.
Ji Xiaoou seemed to have discovered a new continent. It turned out that leopards not only eat meat, but also eat roasted mushrooms.
She fed him five in a row, and Eric was stunned. When did the Leopards become so docile and obedient
After breakfast, they left the cave.
Perhaps because of the low terrain, Ji Xiaoou and the others walked all morning without encountering any orc race.
The only group I encountered was a group of hedgehogs carrying supplies.
Hedgehogs have not yet evolved into human form, with barbs standing on their backs, and nuts, mushrooms, and insects are stuck on the spines, which look like they are storing food for the winter.
Seeing that Ji Xiaoou was staring at them, the hedgehogs moved faster and hid in the grass after a while.
Ji Xiaoou tilted his head, looked at the surrounding trees, and at the sky above his head.
It's just autumn, are they going to stockpile supplies for the winter
"Ou, what are you looking at?" Eric turned his head and saw that Ji Xiaoou was still standing there, so he couldn't help asking.
Ji Xiaoou hurriedly hugged Ren to follow, and asked, "Eric, can't a hedgehog transform into an orc?"
Eric walked and walked, "No, they..." Before he finished speaking, the antlers suddenly wrapped around a vine, and he had to stop and concentrate on fighting the vine. "Not all animals can become human. Some animals have this awareness. If they want to get closer to humans, they will evolve in this direction wholeheartedly. After all, although humans have been eliminated by nature, their brains Very smart. Animals not only need a strong body, but also a brain that can think independently, and find ways to develop and survive on this continent."
It turned out to be because of this.
Ji Xiaoou lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Although she knew that the humans who lived on this continent hundreds of years ago may be different from the humans in her own world, because there is no place called the Polynesian continent in the 21st century, she still felt a little sad.
This means that she is the only human being in this entire continent.
There is no race, no likeness.
"Ou, can you help me?" Eric's anxious voice interrupted Ji Xiaoou's thoughts.
Ji Xiaoou looked up, and saw that Eric didn't know what happened, the whole antlers were entangled with the vines, his posture was weird, his body was twisted, and Ji Xiaoou couldn't help laughing at his funny appearance.
Without thinking too much, she took out a Swiss Army Knife from her pocket, grabbed a vine, slashed lightly with the sharp edge, and rescued Eric within a few strokes.
It's just that there are barbs growing on the vines, Ji Xiaoou didn't check for a while, and the barbs pierced his finger.
Eric glanced at the Swiss Army knife in her hand, hesitant to speak.
Turning his gaze, he saw bright red blood dripping from her fingertips, and blamed herself angrily: "It's all my fault, I should pay more attention when walking."
Ji Xiaoou shook his head, "It's okay, it's just a little injury."
Probably because his parents were not around, Ji Xiaoou suddenly became much stronger when he came here.
The last time her forehead was injured and the soles of her feet were blistered, she was only sad for a while.
You know, when she was at home before, she was the one who couldn't help crying when her toes touched the table legs.
Thinking of home, Ji Xiaoou felt a little absent-minded.
He didn't notice the change in the little leopard in his arms.
The sweet smell of blood came, close at hand. This is definitely a fatal temptation for a carnivorous animal, and a carnivorous animal that has not eaten raw meat for a few days.
Ren's eyes became deeper and deeper, he licked his teeth, trying to suppress his nature.
The girl's blood is sweet, different from the fragrance emitted by herbivorous animals.
Clean, sweet, like the first nectar encountered when dry.
Ren's throat rolled, fearing that he couldn't help it for a while, he jumped out of Ji Xiaoou's arms without warning and walked to the front.
"Where are you going?" Ji Xiaoou stepped forward and asked.
However, as soon as he took a step, he felt a piece of something fall on his cheek, which was cool and melted at the touch.
She was slightly taken aback, stopped, raised her hand to touch her cheek, and touched a drop of melting water.
It's raining
This was her first thought.
But looking up at the sky, the weather is clear and the clouds are calm, it doesn't look like it's going to rain.
After a while, white catkins fell from the sky one after another, and Ji Xiaoou realized that it was snowing.
The snowflakes fell on the back of her hand and melted before she could see clearly.
Ji Xiaoou was a little surprised, why is it snowing at this time? And she didn't feel the cold at all, even if it snowed in autumn, it should be a sign, right
Compared with Ji Xiaoou's astonishment, Eric's face behind him became very serious.
When the first snowflakes fell, he climbed up a big tree in front of him, looked into the distance, and observed the reactions of the surrounding lower mammals, then jumped down and said to Ji Xiaoou: "A snowstorm is coming Let's find a place to hide."
In just five minutes, the snow fell more and more heavily, covering Ji Xiaoou's cheeks, and the slightest chill penetrated into her skin.
The temperature dropped suddenly.
Unaware of the situation, Ji Xiaoou followed Eric, "What's going on? Isn't it autumn now? Why is it snowing?"
As Eric walked forward, he explained: "After the snowstorm comes, it will be winter."
Ji Xiaoou: "..."
Isn't there a blizzard after winter comes
What's up with this upside-down statement
She was full of doubts and wanted to ask what happened, but seeing Eric's serious expression, she had no choice but to temporarily suppress the question in her heart.
There is a dense forest nearby, the terrain is low, and there are no other races, so it is difficult to find a place to hide from the snowstorm for a while.
Eric knew that if they did not find a safe place as soon as possible, they would soon be buried by a sudden snowstorm.
At this time before, the race had already prepared for the winter, but this time he went out alone, and even forgot about it.
While annoyed, Eric walked towards the high mountain.
Snowflakes were blown by the wind, confusing sight.
Ji Xiaoou narrowed his eyes, hugged Ren and followed Eric closely.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, the ground was covered with a white layer of snow.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and Ji Xiaoou could hardly stand still.
Finally, Eric found a dark tree hole among the many trees. He drilled in first and checked the environment inside. The tree hole was cold and the fallen leaves were messy. It didn't look like there were signs of bears living there.
Only then did Eric call Ji Xiaoou in, "Let's take shelter here for a while, and hurry on our way after the blizzard stops."
The wind was howling outside the tree hole, and he had to speak in a loud voice.
Ji Xiaoou was only wearing a thin baseball shirt with a vest inside, which didn't keep warm at all, and he was already stiff from the cold.
She gritted her teeth, nodded and said yes.
Eric looked around, but there was nothing to start a fire except leaves. "I'm going outside to pick up some dry firewood. I'm afraid the snow will last for several days. Without fire, we will freeze to death. Ou, wait for me here, I'll be back soon."
Ji Xiaoou didn't try to be brave at this time. Eric had fur to keep him warm, but she only had a thin coat. Not only would it not be of much help to keep up with him, but it would cause trouble for him.
Eric got into the snowstorm, and Ji Xiaoou hugged Ren in the corner.
Although the tree hole blocks most of the wind, a small part is still drawn in, mixed with crushed snow, making people shiver with cold.
At this time, Ji Xiaoou took out the blanket from the space and wrapped himself and the little leopard tightly, not caring about whether he would be discovered as a human being.
Ren was tightly wrapped by Ji Xiaoou, his dark blue pupils looked out of the cave.
Neither as flustered as Eric, nor as dazed as Ji Xiaoou.
One person and one leopard waited for about half an hour, but there was no sign of Eric returning.
The wind and snow were raging outside, and it was almost impossible to see the surrounding environment clearly, leaving only a vast expanse of whiteness.
Another half an hour passed, and Eric still hadn't come back.
Ji Xiaoou was a little worried, where did he go to find dry firewood? Why have you been looking for it for so long
Ji Xiaoou was worried that something might happen to Eric, so he untied the blanket, put it on Ren, and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
When she reached the entrance of the cave, she realized that the snow outside had accumulated a thick layer, almost covering her calves.
She was taken aback, Eric wouldn't have been buried in such a heavy snow, right
Just about to go out to search, when he raised his eyes, he saw a shadowy figure approaching in the distance.
Ji Xiaoou couldn't see his face clearly, he could only see that the other person had a strong figure, somewhat similar to Eric.
She thought it was Eric who came back, and when he approached, she immediately said, "Eric, why..."
When the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again.
The other party has thick limbs, wearing a buckskin animal clothing, with hair on the arms and chest, dark eyes, and a slightly protruding mouth.
Standing towards the entrance of the cave, the generous body blocked the entire entrance of the cave tightly.
It wasn't Eric, it was clearly a brown bear orc.
