Prehistoric Calendar

Chapter 4
In the eyes of modern people, the principle of drilling wood to make fire is really a child’s play. Everyone understands it, even some children who like to read books understand it. It is nothing more than friction to generate heat, which eventually burns into fire.

But knowing it is one thing, being able to do it is another.

Again, Wu Ming is a young man of the Zhai family. Although he is not considered a full house, he also belongs to the kind of urban growth. People who come out of modern society, let alone drilling wood to make fire, I am afraid that they have never even used a coal stove.

It is about four o'clock now, and Wu Ming feels the temperature. The temperature is about the end of summer, and it is still a bit hot at this time. Depending on the situation, it is estimated that it will not be night until around 07:30. In other words, he has about three Hours and hours are spent preparing a shelter for the night, and building a fire is a top priority.

Using some knowledge of survival in the wilderness, Wu Ming found some dry firewood, carved some dents on it with stones, and found some dead grass to make fire. After that, he used a long and thin wooden stick to He kept rubbing against the firewood, and within about 10 minutes before and after, his fingers were burning hot and painful. If it was in the past, it would be impossible for Wu Ming to continue, but this time is different. In the wilderness, he is still In the wilderness where there are ferocious beasts, whether there is fire means whether he can live. He wants to live. This wonderful life has just begun. How could he die so silently?

Gritting his teeth, he insisted on rubbing for an hour. His sweat dripped all over the floor, but he was careful not to drop a drop on the firewood, and the dents in the firewood were already scorched black, and blue smoke rose from time to time. There were already blood blisters on his finger, but he gritted his teeth and persisted, repeatedly, until about an hour, ten, twenty, ten minutes later, a small spark loomed in the dent, Wu Ming was overjoyed, and carefully moved the The spark landed on the withered grass, and then imitated the demonstration in Survival in the Wilderness to gently blow inward. Slowly, a cloud of smoke rose up, choking Wu Ming almost immediately to cough.

But he actually forcibly endured it until the withered grass burned and his hands began to burn, then he put the dry grass on the dry wood that he had prepared earlier, and immediately, the dry wood also ignited.

Wu Ming's heart was full of joy, but his hands were really hurting. For a while, he grinned, just complaining.

It was dusk at this time, Wu Ming looked at the sky, carefully put the dry firewood on the fire, estimated the burning time, and then continued to prepare other things in the shelter. Firewood is definitely needed, the more the better, the more There are also problems of food and drinking water, which are difficult to solve, and it is difficult to find these in this wilderness.

However, Wu Ming was lucky. There were wild fruit trees not far from where he landed. Most of them he didn’t know, but some of the fruits had traces of insects biting and birds pecking them. These were non-toxic and edible. About 500 meters away from the selected shelter, there is a small stream flowing down the hillside. It is very small. It is estimated that it was formed after the snow on the mountain melted. He sweated a lot while drilling wood to make fire, which made him drink a lot of water in front of the stream.

"Food, water, firewood, these are all there. As for the place to sleep, I can barely hang it on a tree for one night, and I still need...weapons..."

Wu Ming sat down in front of the fire, muttering to himself while eating the fruit. The fruit was actually not delicious, it was a bit astringent, but it could barely fill his stomach. After eating the fruit, Wu Ming looked at the sky, and it was already dark At night, it seemed that the sun would set in about an hour. At this moment, there was a cool wind blowing, which made it a little cooler. He didn't stay long, just checked among the nearby trees. After checking for a long time, he finally found his target.

It was a branch that was thick at the back and thin at the front. After Wu Ming climbed to the tree, he hung his whole body on the branch, and finally pulled it short. Afterwards, Wu Ming cut the branch with stones. It was sharpened, and it was carefully roasted and carbonized to increase its hardness. It was not until the sun had completely set that his wooden spear was finally completely finished.

When the night fell completely, the surroundings were really pitch black, and there was only a trace of the moon in the sky. It seemed that there was nothing else in the whole world except his pile of flames. Although there were faint sounds of insects around, it only added to the gloomy horror. , in Wu Ming's eyes, in the distance reflected by the fire, whether it is stones, trees, or anything else, it looks horribly distorted, as if there are countless monsters lurking in the darkness.

An ordinary person in such a situation would probably have a mental breakdown. Even if he didn't collapse, at least his mind would be tense, and he would completely lose control in a short time. However, Wu Ming became more and more calm. Beside the pile, there was one eating the fruit one by one. Although there was fear in his heart, he did not let it spread. He paid attention to his surroundings, but he did not appear to be afraid. He himself was amazed at his current state. Haven't experienced it in decades.

"Sure enough, people are forced out. If it wasn't forced this time, I don't know that I still have the potential to survive in the wilderness." Wu Ming smiled wryly like self-deprecating, but he was having fun in the bitterness.

But in fact, even he himself didn't realize that this was not the potential to survive in the wilderness at all, but another much more advanced thing, which was a kind of aptitude.

About an hour or two later, Wu Ming was adding firewood while calculating the firewood he would use for the night. After the calculation was finished, he planned to run to a tree next to the fire to squat for a while. At that time, he heard the howling of wolves.

The moment he heard the howling of wolves, Wu Ming stood upside down all over his body. He picked up the long hair and stood up violently. His body seemed to exceed the speed of his brain's thinking, and he rushed towards the big tree next to him. Going up, within less than ten seconds before and after, he had already jumped to the top of the tree, and the whole person crawled on it without moving, and there was no sound other than the beating of his heart.

(Wolf? Are there wolves here?)

The fear in Wu Ming's heart was overflowing, but the more he was like this, the calmer his mind became, which surprised him again and again, but now was not the time to think about these things, he just held his breath and crawled quietly on the ground. The top of the tree was motionless, the location of the top of the tree was pitch black, and the fire below attracted attention, even if one stood under the tree and looked up, it was unlikely that he would be found, and Wu Ming remained silent on the tree. Waiting, even if there are mosquito bites, it will not move at all. Just like this, after an unknown period of time, a dark shadow of a creature appears from the darkness.

Wu Ming didn't dare to look at this thing directly, but just looked at it from the corner of his eye. He had inquired on the government network of the Great Desolate Heavenly Court before, and people with a second-order gene lock or above would become sensitive to hostile gazes, and wild creatures would also be sensitive to gazes such as hostility. It also has this kind of wild intuition. If it is a monster, this intuition may even evolve into their natural skills. Wu Ming will never make mistakes in this kind of details, and he only looks at things from the corner of his eye.

Soon, a blue-gray giant wolf stepped into the range of the fire. From the visual inspection, it was a giant wolf with a length of more than three meters including the tail. It looked like a calf. The blue-gray fur was very rare. Well, Wu Ming doesn't know if the wolves in the Great Desolate Continent are like this, but at least they are absolutely impossible to exist in the earth world. Maybe they existed in ancient times, but it is almost impossible to exist now.

This giant wolf looks really scary, but what Wu Ming cares about is that it is not a pack of wolves, but only this lonely giant wolf. This is one, and the second is that the giant wolf has injuries. , and it was seriously injured, there was blood on its back, a whole piece of fur was ripped off, and there was a big gap in its stomach, although it was scarred, but this big gap almost cut the stomach into two parts, it Didn't even die from such a serious injury?

In the end, there was a large wound on the skull of this giant wolf, and even one eye was blind. It looked terrible. The wound on the head could even see the bone, and there was a big thumb on the skull. The size of the hole seems to be bitten by another beast on the head, not only biting a hole through the bone, but even tearing off a lot of skin on the head.

(This is a lone wolf. I don't know if it is the product of the wolves after they were destroyed, or if the former wolf king was driven out of the wolf pack...)
Wu Ming thought in his heart. Although he is not an animal expert, he has seen many animal science and education films. It is also mentioned in novels and comics. On the contrary, lone wolves are the most dangerous wild wolves. Usually, lone wolves used to be wolves of wolves. The king, or the remaining wolves after the wolves were wiped out, no matter what kind they are, lone wolves are full of tyranny and murderous intent. If ordinary wolves encounter fierce rival beasts that they think may be dangerous, they will usually retreat, but Lone wolves are different, they will lurk in the dark, and they will never die with their prey, which is the most dangerous thing.

Moreover, lone wolves are more cunning than wolves in packs, because lone wolves are often wounded, and even if they are healed, they have memories, so they are cunning and deadly, and they are the most terrifying hunters, and they are often very patient. It can last a whole day or even several days for a little food.

All these information flashed in Wu Ming's mind, his face gradually turned ashen, and beside the fire, the giant wolf looked at the fire with fear, and then it smelled on the ground, bit by bit. , its figure gradually approached the tree where Wu Ming was staying.

Wu Ming immediately turned his attention to his fingers, because he was drilling wood to make fire before, and there were blood bubbles on his fingers, one of the blood bubbles had burst, and fresh blood flowed out of it, although the amount of blood was not much, and Scars had begun to form, but there was no doubt that the blood gave away his position.

Gradually, the giant wolf got closer and closer to Wu Ming, and the more critical the situation was, Wu Ming became calmer. He himself was surprised by this calmness, and even reached the level of ruthlessness. He watched the giant wolf approaching coldly. , His heart was full of fear, but there was an incomparable killing intent in his eyes.

Finally, the giant wolf came under the tree. The moment the giant wolf looked up, Wu Ming jumped straight down from the treetop. He was holding the wooden spear in his hand, and the point of the spear was facing him...

It was the tooth hole in the head of the giant wolf!

For a moment, the surprised eyes of the giant wolf met Wu Ming's eyes with cold murderous intent. The hunter and the prey were confused with each other, and they could no longer tell who they were.
