One Piece: Three Ultimate Standings

Still the same Li Ming, still the same equipment.

Li Ming was walking on the path in the forest, with wooden spears and gravel on his body as his companions.

Li Ming woke up and it was already a bright morning the day after tomorrow. He was now putting on his equipment and looking for water in the forest. However, he came out of the cave with great interest at the beginning, but he still hasn't found it yet. He was surprised along the way. Saw many fruit trees.

This made Li Ming feel very depressed. He took out a big bright red apple from the bag and took a bite, leaving a light yellow gap on the big apple.

This apple was picked by Li Ming from a fruit tree on the road. He picked a few apples in total and put them in the cloth bag he carried with him.

Li Ming just walked boredly and gnawed on an apple depressedly. Little did he know that he was now walking deep into the forest.

The scenery on the roadside is receding, the surrounding vegetation is becoming more and more lush, and the penetration of sunlight is gradually weakening.

Only then did Li Ming realize that something was wrong.

Why does it get darker as we walk?

Li Ming looked up and found that the forest was too dense and blocked the sun.

However, although it was dark before, it was not this dark.

Li Ming looked around. The surrounding vegetation and trees were obviously different from where he was before, and were larger than the trees and vegetation where he was before.

Could it be that I accidentally walked deep into the forest?

Thinking of this possibility, Li Ming secretly said something bad and immediately dropped the bag with the fruit on him, wanting to turn around and prepare to leave quickly.

"howl"

However, a crisis arose. Just when Li Ming was about to turn around, a wolf roar suddenly sounded from behind him.

Li Ming was startled. He gripped the wooden spear tightly and turned his head. What appeared in front of him was a gray wolf, which was howling and rushing towards him.

And at this moment, the gray wolf was only more than two meters away from him.

Why the hell is it Gray Wolf again? I have a grudge against Gray Wolf, right?

Cursing secretly, he wanted to dodge the attack, but the gray wolf's attack came too suddenly. Li Ming could only give up the idea of ​​dodging and chose to use a wooden spear to resist, but his strength was really no match for the gray wolf. It threw him to the ground.

"Howling"

Li Ming, who was thrown to the ground by the gray wolf, burst out with extraordinary strength because of the strong desire to live in his heart. He actually used a wooden spear to jam the gray wolf's big mouth full of sharp teeth and let it go. I can't bite myself for a long time.

So deep in the forest, a man and an animal were standing in a stalemate.

However, now Li Ming seems to be almost unable to hold on. The gray wolf's strength is so great that he can't spare any energy to escape. Judging from the current situation, unless he gives up one arm, otherwise he will Don't try to get away.

But Li Ming hesitated.

After the situation was deadlocked again for a period of time, Li Ming finally made up his mind and prepared to give up an arm in exchange for a chance to escape. He could still live without his arm, but without his life, he would have nothing.

But just then, an accident happened.

I saw a "rustling" commotion coming from the nearby trees, and a majestic tiger jumped out of it. The tiger roared as soon as it appeared, seeming to have locked onto the person who was in a stalemate with Li Ming. A gray wolf rushed up and bit the wolf hard on the back.

Li Ming also took the opportunity to escape from the control of the gray wolf, but now he did not dare to turn around and run away, because if so, the tiger would most likely turn its target on him.

Moving carefully bit by bit, Li Ming broke out in cold sweat, fearing that the tiger would notice him. He didn't want to leave the wolf's den and enter the tiger's mouth again.

However, it seems that the tiger has not noticed Li Ming's existence at all. It is currently fighting with the gray wolf, but it cannot be said to be a fight. In fact, the gray wolf was simply pressed and beaten by the tiger.

The racial gap between the two has already determined the outcome, not to mention the fact that the tiger bit the gray wolf as soon as he appeared.

Seeing that the tiger didn't seem to notice him, Li Ming became a little bolder and began to move from bit by bit to small steps. He moved his body and soon came to a three-person star. Under the big tree hugging each other, Li Ming relaxed a little. With the cover of the big tree, Li Ming began to run in large strides, and soon left the dangerous place.

Li Ming kept running and running with lingering fear. Li Ming didn't know how long he had been running, because the thrilling encounter just now was so terrifying that it was still in his mind for a long time.

Finally, Li Ming didn't stop until he passed through a bush, because he actually saw a wide, waveless lake in front of him.

The surface of the big lake is wide and waveless, and the water inside looks exceptionally clear. The lake is surrounded by a lush green grassland.

Generally, the grass by the lake is so lush. Now there are some animals drinking in groups by the lake. There are also some herbivores gnawing on the fertile green grass by the lake. There are birds playing in the trees. , jumps, and makes a crisp and melodious cry.

It seems to be quiet and peaceful, like a paradise.

Li Ming stared at the beautiful scenery in front of him and froze in place without blinking. He remembered that he had narrowly escaped just now, and now he was in this place like a paradise. What happened before and after The contrast was so great that Li Ming could hardly turn his head.

But it only took a moment, and Li Ming immediately became excited. It was bitter at first and then sweet. The dangerous encounter he had experienced before was finally rewarded. He not only found fresh water, but also discovered such a good place.

Li Ming stepped on the green grass and ran excitedly to the lake, causing the animals that were drinking water to look up and then walk away.

Ignoring the animals that were walking away because of him, Li Ming came to the lake and squatted down. Li Ming put aside the wooden spear that he had been holding tightly, picked up a little clear water from the lake with both hands, and stretched out his hands holding the water. When he reached the small mouth, he raised his head, and the clear water flowed into Li Ming's mouth along his small hand.

Very refreshing and comfortable, this is how Li Ming feels now.

I smacked my mouth with unfinished thoughts. The water was delicious and tasted sweet and delicious.

But it’s really unpleasant to drink like this.

Li Ming put his hands on the ground, leaned over, pointed his head at the lake water, and drank heavily, causing a small ripple in the water.

"what"

With a satisfied groan, Li Ming lay straight on the soft grass. At this moment, he had already forgotten the bad memory of being almost eaten.

Now he feels extremely comfortable and enjoying himself in this beautiful environment.

A few minutes passed.

"Haha"

Li Ming lazily squinted his eyes, yawned, and wanted to sleep again. But at this moment, Li Ming's previous experience suddenly appeared in Li Ming's mind, which made him wake up all of a sudden.

You can't sleep in a place like this now. Even though it looks quiet and peaceful, it is deep in the forest after all, and you are still unfamiliar with it. Who knows what kind of danger there may be.

When he came to the lake and lay down, Li Ming quickly picked up the lake water with both hands and kept washing his face, hoping to make his sleepiness go away.

After feeling a little more energetic, Li Ming got up and planned to go back to the cave. However, after walking a few steps, Li Ming realized that the surroundings were so unfamiliar that he could not find his way back to the cave at all.

Because he was so frightened that he just ran away, he simply forgot to remember the route, not to mention that he didn't even know how long he had been running. Finding this lake was just an accident in a panic.

Li Ming had a headache. If he wandered around in the forest again, he might become food for wild beasts. That kind of unexpected good luck didn't happen every day. If it happened again, Li Ming didn't think it was possible for him to escape.

However, if he encounters some weaker beasts, Li Ming is still confident to escape or even kill them.

Because the gray wolf he killed early this morning has made him grow, and he also gained some confidence in fighting wild beasts.

But if it was a stronger beast like the tiger he encountered before or was attacked suddenly, Li Ming would be in danger.

Moreover, this is deep in the forest where wild beasts are everywhere, so it is not surprising to encounter those beasts in groups.

However, Li Ming still planned to try his luck again.

Having made up his mind, Li Ming chose a place with dense vegetation to walk. He felt that such a place with dense vegetation would only have a small chance of encountering ferocious beasts, and would at least be safer.

After a period of progress, Li Ming did not encounter any ferocious beasts, but he was attacked by several venomous snakes and was almost bitten.

However, he only almost got bitten. Li Ming was lucky enough to escape based on his experience of surviving in the forest for the past two days.

But after wandering around in the forest for a long time, looking at the scenery that kept retreating, he still couldn't find the road he was familiar with, which made Li Ming's already irritable heart become even more irritable.

Trying hard to suppress the irritability in his heart, Li Ming continued to move forward. As he walked, he felt that the scenery around him began to feel familiar to him, but he just couldn't remember where he was here.

After walking for a while, looking at the familiar marks on the ground, Li Ming finally remembered, isn't this the same road where he was attacked by a gray wolf before and was almost eaten?

But it gave him a lot of thrilling memories.

I just don’t know if the gray wolf was killed by the tiger.

May it be bitten to death.

Amen.

Li Ming made a sign of the cross in front of him with his fingers.

At the same time, in a hole in the forest, a ferocious tiger, his tiger wife, and several tiger cubs were gnawing on the bloody corpse of a gray wolf. The gray wolf was exactly what Li Ming had encountered before.

Little did he know that his prayers had been fulfilled. After finding a familiar road, Li Ming quickly found his warm kennel. Oh no, it should be called a cave.

After returning to the cave, Li Ming naturally wanted to take a nap first, because only a nap could calm his little heart, which was beating so fast in fear at first.

Sleeping is the best way to relieve fatigue and forget bad memories.

At noon, Li Ming, who was full of energy from sleep, brought back a medium-sized bamboo from the forest.

He used the gravel knife he carried with him to cut the bamboo into small segments, then cut a one centimeter hole in the thick film inside the bamboo, and then drilled the bamboo wall half a centimeter above the film. A small hole was made and the prepared vines were passed through.

Li Ming took the finished product and looked at it, so that it could be hung around the waist.

Li Ming planned to make these bamboos into kettles, and then go to the lake he found in the morning to fill them with water and bring them back to the cave.

After thinking about what he had missed, Li Ming got another piece of dead wood from outside and made it into small plugs to plug the holes in the kettle.

After doing this, Li Ming did not experience any big crises according to the previous route. Of course, there were many small crises, but he easily avoided them. Soon he came to this big lake that was like a paradise. .

He took out the finished bamboo kettle, took it to the lake and filled it with water. Then he took out a wooden plug made of dead wood to block the watering hole. Then he took out another bamboo kettle and continued the same action.

After a smooth movement, several bamboo kettles carried by Li Ming were soon filled with water.

Li Ming put away several bamboo kettles and hung them on his vine belt.

He took out another bamboo kettle, pulled out the stopper with a "pop" sound, raised his head and took a few sips. After filling it with water again, Li Ming went back towards the cave.
