Ye An

The injured jackal came aggressively, and it clearly regarded Ye An as the easiest prey.

Ye An leaned against a pine tree, cold sweat rolled down his forehead, his heart was in his throat, and the stone in his hand was clenched tighter and tighter.He knew how fierce the mutated beast was, and he also saw the jackal's deflated belly.

He wanted to live, and so did the beast on the other side.

Either you die or I die, there is no retreat.

The snow was still falling, falling from the sky one after another, forming a large white curtain, blocking Ye An's sight.

When he brushed away the ice crystals in front of his eyes, the jackal saw the opportunity, stepped across the snow with all four feet, leaving only shallow traces, and swooped up like an arrow leaving the string.

The stench of saliva and blood from jackals could be smelled head-on.

Ye An rolled on the snow, tried his best to dodge, but was still bitten through the cloak.The sharp teeth were less than two inches from his throat, and he barely held them with his arms.

Bright red blood splashed on his face, and severe pain came from his forearm.

Ye An could hear the sound of flesh being torn apart and bones being rubbed.

The jackal bit Ye An's arm tightly, trying to tear off his entire arm.Unable to break free, Ye An simply grabbed the wound on the jackal's back and tore it with his fingers, piercing deeply like the claws of a wild beast.

The pain made the jackal howl, and let go of Ye An's arm.

Ignoring the severe pain of the wound, Ye An tore the jackal's wound wider with his fingers, and at the same time opened his mouth, biting towards the jackal's neck.

The howling of the jackal was heard far away.

Until it dies, it will not understand why the seemingly weak prey is so fierce.One moment he was going to be the meat in his mouth, but the next moment he succeeded in counter-killing, transforming himself into a hunter.

The jackal's cry disturbed the forest, and there was a rustling sound above the head, and there were lumps of snow falling down and falling apart in the snow.

Ye An didn't let go, he knew there were mutant beasts, but he didn't have a second choice.If he didn't kill the jackal, he was doomed to die, and he would die rather ugly.

Making up his mind, Ye An kept pushing hard, even though his jaw hurt, even if the roots of his teeth became numb, he never let go.

A man and a beast were biting and rolling in the snow, a large group of squirrels gathered on the branches, overlooking the scene in the forest, their big tails were erected, and their mouths uttered calls of different lengths. Meat.

The jackal was injured before, and Ye An identified its weakness. With a lot of blood loss, its strength became weaker and weaker. Finally, it was unable to bite and was subdued by Ye An.

The jackal fell into the snow, his chest was still heaving, but he was already exhaling more air than inhaling.

Ye An raised his head, half of his face was covered in blood.

Grabbing the jackal's bloody neck, he didn't hesitate for a moment, picked up the stones, snow and ice that he could grab, and smashed it on the jackal's head forcefully.

The jackal wailed again, and looked very weak before the sound was different.

Ye An didn't stop, and with all his strength, he finally smashed the jackal's head, killing it completely.

Perhaps it was because of his ferocity, or perhaps because of other reasons, the gathered squirrels did not move, and it seemed that they did not regard him as prey.

Ye An stood up, grabbed the stone and looked at the crown of the tree. He quickly made a decision, lifted the jackal's body with one arm, threw it under the tree, and then took a few steps back.

There were dense calls from the trees, which were quite ear-piercing.

Not long after, a fiery red squirrel with long hair on its ears climbed down the tree trunk, sniffed the jackal's corpse, looked at Ye An again, tilted its head twice, made sure that he was not a threat, and sent a signal to its companions .

More squirrels climbed down from the tree, separated the jackals in the snow, each got a piece, and climbed to the top of the tree with their teeth in their mouths.

In the blink of an eye, the jackal's body disappeared without a trace, not even a single bone was left.There was only a pool of dark red blood and a little brown-yellow hair left on the ground.

While the squirrels were eating, Ye An hurriedly picked up branches and hay, tied them up with ropes, and carried them all behind his back.

The squirrel didn't show any intention of attacking, and he still didn't dare to relax his vigilance. After finding enough firewood, he looked around carefully while looking for the direction to escape.

The squirrel on the tree suddenly let out a sharp cry, Ye An's heart shuddered, thinking that the other party was going to attack him, he couldn't help crying secretly.

Unexpectedly, the squirrel did not attack him, but threw five or six fist-sized pine cones instead.

Looking at the pine cone rolling down at his feet, and then at the squirrel on the tree, Ye An suddenly felt absurd.

Is this a thank you, or an exchange?

is it possible?

But the facts were right in front of his eyes, and he couldn't allow him not to believe it.

Not daring to refuse the squirrel's "kindness", Ye An carefully observed the top of the tree, bent down to pick up the pine cones, and stuffed them into his bosom one by one.Then slowly backed away until the safe distance was reached, and after making sure that the squirrel was not chasing, he turned around and ran towards the shelter at the fastest speed.

The wind blew on his face, freezing the jackal's blood and cold sweat together.

Ye An didn't have time or thought to deal with it. He just wanted to return to the shelter quickly. After all, it was getting late and night was coming.

Finally, before the sun was setting and the sky was about to disappear, Ye An returned to the shelter, pushed open the door, put away the branches and hay, turned around to cover his footprints and breath, and made sure everything was in place before returning to the house and closing the door. Close it tight and hold it against a rock.

"call--"

Ye An tore off the animal skin wrapped around his head, removed half of his coat, and cleaned the wound carefully. There was no medicine, so he could only bandage it like this.Then went to the stove and dealt with the blood and ice on his face.

The blood had been frozen for too long, and it was hot and painful when it was opened.No need to look, Ye An knew how embarrassed he was now.

"It's better than dead."

Ye An poked his cheek with his hand, and immediately grinned.Thinking of the jackals being eaten by squirrels, I feel both fortunate and painful.Compared with snow rabbits, jackals are larger in size, even if they are skinny, they can still cook a pot of broth and bone marrow.

"Forget it, no such luck."

The arm injury was very painful, but it did not affect Ye An's actions.Before that, he had been injured more seriously, and almost lost half his life, but he still didn't survive.

The problem of firewood is solved, and the rest is food.

There is also a snow rabbit in his hand, which is stewed into soup, save some food, and can last him for two to three days.Fortunately, there was no snowstorm, and I was able to go out to catch gophers.

"correct!"

Ye An thought of the pine cone he had brought back, and immediately put it on the table with great interest.

"Can I have pine nuts?"

After coming to this world, Ye An has always faced cold wind and snow. It has been a cold winter for nearly half a year, and there is no sign of spring.Under such climatic conditions, vegetables and fruits are simply a fantasy for him.

The few pine cones in his hand were the only type of food he had access to besides mutant beasts.

"I don't know if I can eat it?"

Ye An found a sharp branch, successfully dug out more than 20 pine nuts, and roasted them by the stove.

Feeling that it was almost time, Ye Anbo pulled out two and smashed them open with a stone. In terms of shape and color, they were no different from the pine nuts he remembered except that they were a little bigger.

Try to bite half of it, the taste is very similar, just the taste...

Ye An was stunned when he tasted the pine nuts.

Not the familiar nutty aroma, but with a hint of saltiness!

In the night, at the edge of the pine forest where Ye An killed the jackal, three snowmobiles came roaring.

The lights in front of the car dispelled the darkness, diffused in the snow, reflected the snow light, and illuminated the front as bright as day.

Three cars stopped one after another, and a man of medium build jumped out of the car.

The man was wearing a leather jacket, with two chains wrapped around his wrists, and two hounds were drawn at the end of the chains. His strong limbs, pointed ears, and sharp fangs all showed ferocity.

"go with!"

The man let go of the chain, and two hounds flew out, quickly locking onto the spot where the jackal was being eaten.

The sound of dogs barking resounded in the forest, and two men got out of the car, digging through the snow with shovels in hand, and found frozen blood clots.

After the man checked, he turned and walked to the second snowmobile.

The car door opened, and a petite girl with a whip came out.The girl has a round face, a narrow nose and a small mouth, round almond eyes, and she looks very cute.What didn't match this cuteness was the arrogance on her face, and her undisguised anger after hearing the man's return.

"waste!"

Accompanied by the sound of shouting, it was a whip flying towards him.

The man didn't dare to dodge, and stood motionless on the snow, lowering his head.

"Yes, Miss Qianjia, it's the subordinate who is incompetent!"

Qianjia held the whip with one hand, and said darkly: "Release the hounds, I don't believe we can't find the second jackal!"

"Yes, we must find it!" The man responded, whistled, and gave orders to the hounds.

A woman walked up to Qianjia and persuaded her, "Miss, the snow field at night is very dangerous, can you..."

"Shut up!" Qianjia waved a whip, leaving a clear bloodstain on the woman's face, "Mingfang, you better recognize your identity. Don't think that killing two mutant beasts will make you proud, you are just my big brother A wild dog picked up from the snow field. A dog should look like a dog, understand?"

Ming Fang lowered her head, without any expression on her face, but her eyes were fierce.

"Speak, speak!" Qianjia swung the whip up and down, lashing at the woman, with a wanton and vicious smile, "Get down and bark like a dog."

The woman bit her lip, barely able to contain her anger.

At this moment, the hound sent out a clear signal, and the man immediately reported to Qianjia: "Miss Qianjia, I found something!"

"Okay, catch up!" Qian Jia left the woman behind and returned to the snowmobile.

After she turned around, the woman slowly raised her head.Standing in the backlight, the night covered her scarred face, but it couldn't hide the ferocity in her eyes, like a wolf enveloped in murderous intent.

In the RV, Ye An smashed open all the pine cones and collected all the pine nuts. This is the only thing he has obtained so far that can replace salt.

Before the surprise dissipated, there was a sudden bark of dogs outside the caravan, followed by the roar of the engine.

Ye An was startled, picked up a hard and sharp branch, quickly came to the door, and carefully pushed open a gap.

In the heavy snow, two black hounds lead the way, and behind the hounds are three snowmobiles, rushing straight towards his shelter!
