prey

During the journey of three days and four nights, Sheng Ran only slept for three hours a day. Sheng Ran finally arrived at the hunting forest. It was strange to say that he was very tired from the journey every day, but he only felt slight discomfort after sleeping for just a few hours. If you think about it, the food you bought has already been eaten, and the water source you brought on the way is gone. You have to figure out your own way for the meal on the fourth day. Once you stop eating, you will not be far from death.

Holding a bow and arrow in his hand, Sheng Ran entered the forest and began to look for suitable prey.

Sheng Ran is very self-aware, and understands that with his own strength, he can at most kill some pheasants and the like, but on this continent, an ordinary prey is also strong and strong, and Sheng Ran didn't catch one even after being hungry for a long time. prey.

The sun has risen above Sheng Ran's head, and the hunger is getting stronger and stronger. The hot weather makes Sheng Ran's thirst more intense. Sheng Ran is still looking for it. He followed a deer and came to a lake on the shore of the lake. They were all footprints. This seemed to be the gathering place for the prey to drink. Sheng Ran climbed up the tree next to the lake, and pointed the arrow at the fawn's neck.

The deer is drinking water with its head down, enjoying the moisture brought by the water, and has no sense of the danger approaching quietly. No one would have thought that this hunt was going on under the midday sun and the cicadas' chirping.

Sheng Ran didn't dare to relax his vigilance. He knew that this was the best chance. There might be other large prey around. Once the hunt was successful, the smell of blood would attract those large prey.

The moment the little deer looked up after drinking the water, Sheng Ran released the arrow, and the little deer, who was still savoring the moisture of the water, was unprepared at all. At this moment, the little deer died under the cold arrow, and the arrow sealed his throat, and the water in the lake became His last lunch.

Sheng Ran got down from the tree, quickly took care of the deer, buried the internal organs in the ground, peeled off the deer skin and cut off the antlers, took a few pieces of venison and washed it with lake water, filled some lake water with a gourd, and ran away.

It was also Sheng Ran who ran fast. He didn't see it. Three minutes after he ran, a red-eyed silver wolf smelled the smell and found the lake. Looking at the remaining venison and deer blood buried in it, his face was intoxicated.

Ten minutes later, Sheng Ran lit a fire on the other side of the hunting forest, and put the venison with blood on it.

The fat of the venison made a sizzling sound under the roasting flame, and the smell of the meat also carried the fishy smell of venison. Sheng Ran frowned slightly, not used to the fishy smell, this is the only food now, The hunger became more and more intense, Sheng Ran still opened his mouth and bit down, the fishy smell forced Sheng Ran to drink the only water he had.

Resisting the feeling of vomiting, Sheng Ran finished eating two pieces of meat. Looking at the clothes on his body that he hadn't changed for a few days, Sheng Ran, who was a bit of a cleanliness, finally couldn't bear it. He tried to find a water source nearby to take a bath, and then filled some water to drink on the road. There will not be so many prey. The place where the deer drank water before seemed to be the place where the prey often drank water.

Sheng Ran walked towards other places in the forest, searching around, and after another afternoon of searching, Sheng Ran did not find any water source. Seeing that it was approaching dusk, Sheng Ran had no choice but to find a tree in the forest. Barely made do for a night in the trees.

The bloody smell of venison on his body dissipated early. Sheng Ran found some dry wood. The fire source at noon made it not as difficult for him to start a fire this time. Sheng Ran found a tree about four or five meters high and climbed up. go up.

The dusk is beautiful, but Sheng Ran is not in the mood to appreciate it at all. For the danger that may appear at any time, Sheng Ran dare not sleep soundly.

During the search this afternoon, I got familiar with the surrounding terrain by the way. Within a radius of three miles, there are at least three large prey. The so-called most dangerous place is often the safest place. This place is located at the junction of the three prey territories. The three prey all understand the power of the tripartite confrontation, and generally would not come to this place in order to avoid conflict.

Except that Sheng Ran heard a few footsteps, everything was fine. At dawn, the prey at night stopped moving, and Sheng Ran fell down the tree.

The footprints of the tree and the brown hair on the tree showed that there was an animal rubbing its back yesterday, and it was most likely a brown bear.

Sheng Ran packed up the kindling and belongings, and left this place. Today, he was lucky. Sheng Ran hunted a pheasant in the morning, and it was killed with one arrow. The bleeding was not heavy, so he could take it with him temporarily.

The days of finding water sources were very difficult. The forest was too big and there were unknown dangers. Sheng Ran had to slow down and search slowly. During the day, he explored the terrain and hunted, and at night he found a suitable tree to sleep on.

"I haven't drank water for almost three days. I must find a water source today, otherwise I may die here." Sheng Ran walked towards the lower part of the mountain, always paying attention to where there was sound of water, and had to avoid it from time to time Prey dare not stay longer.

"There seems to be a sound of water in the east." Sheng Ran heard the sound of water falling from a high place. It was already afternoon, and when he was thirsty, Sheng Ran rushed to the direction of the sound of water.

Not long after, Sheng Ran found a water source. It was a small waterfall, 6 meters high and 4 meters wide. There were no footprints of large prey around. 181, the water just reached his waist.

For Sheng Ran, this place is simply a treasure land of geomantic omen. Sheng Ran looked at the sun in the sky and the surrounding environment, estimated the time, took off the clothes he had been wearing for a long time, and entered the water.

It's been a long time since I took a bath, and it was an ordeal for Sheng Ran. The coolness of the water relieved Sheng Ran's nerves that had been tense for many days.

Going ashore, Sheng Ran wrapped himself in deerskin, washed his dirty clothes, and lit a fire to dry them. Fortunately, it was summer, otherwise he would be sick the next day if he was naked like this.

"Let's stay here for two days first, and see if it's safe here." Sheng Ran didn't want to leave this treasured place of geomantic omen. There is water and prey here, and it's not a large prey. Although I don't know what caused this situation, it is undoubtedly Best living location so far.

After roasting the chicken, Sheng Ran had a rare good meal, changed into drying clothes, found a tree not far from the water source, lit a fire, and Sheng Ran lay on the branch trying to sleep well.

Things didn't go as planned, Sheng Ran was awakened by the roar, he got up, used the water in the gourd to extinguish the fire not far away, hid himself in the leaves, and silently observed the changes around him, the roar was not very far from here , the small prey in the vicinity were startled, and the calls of the prey in the forest kept coming and going.

Sheng Ran looked in the direction of the roaring sound, only relying on the faint moonlight, Sheng Ran really couldn't see what animal was roaring, but the sound was getting closer and closer, Sheng Ran couldn't help holding his breath.

Very close, Sheng Ran saw two figures passing by quickly, a silver wolf and a brown bear. Both preys were wounded, but the wolf was obviously injured more severely. The dense forest trees restricted the wolf's speed. Sheng Ran didn't understand why the wolf ran into such a dense forest, there was a wider field in the opposite direction.

The brown bear rampaged, one tree after another fell, and it rushed straight to Sheng Ran's tree. Sheng Ran took his things and quickly got down from the tree and ran out to the right.

While being careful to prevent animals that come out at night, we also need to see if the silver wolf and brown bear are coming in this direction.

Sheng Ran's whole body was tense, the bow and arrow in his hand were not put down, and he kept attacking at any time.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone on Sheng Ran's body, Sheng Ran loosened his muscles and bones, and his tense muscles were finally relaxed because of stretching exercises. It was only half an hour since the last prey walked in front of Sheng Ran. , but made Sheng Ran's spirit tense all the time, for fear that some prey would come back.

Sheng Ran looked at the messy footprints in front of him, and walked towards the source of the footprints, "I don't know if there will be any small prey innocently killed in this chaos."

With the idea of ​​being lucky, Sheng Ran walked beside the footprints.

I don't know if it was luck or misfortune to encounter this scuffle, but Sheng Ran found two beaten rabbits that were trampled to death and a dead mink.

The food for the past few days has been settled. The mink’s fur is not too big, but it can be bought at a good price, and the well-preserved corpse will sell better. At least the food and accommodation for one month after going out will be no problem. Yes, plus deerskin, it is not a small gain.

Sheng Ran treated the prey with the water he brought, and returned to the small waterfall with the fur and meat.

The place has become messy because of the brawl, and the waterfall still has water, but the scenery is really not pleasant.

Sheng Ran refilled the water, lit the fire, and ate the free lunch.

The chaos last night was really exhausting. Sheng Ran found another tree and climbed up. The mental relaxation after a lunch break made Sheng Ran quickly fall into a deep sleep.

At the same time, on the other side five kilometers away from here, the battle between the silver wolf and the brown bear was coming to an end, and the overnight battle made both sides look very depressed.

"How dare you plot against me and lure me to the lair of that old man, Green Mang" the brown bear spit out

"So what, who told you that you were led there by me and didn't know that you were plotted against? You can only say that you are stupid and simple-minded." Silver Wolf mocked, glanced down at the brown bear, with a human-like expression.

"What kind of a duel is this? You ate my deer first, and that musk deer has long been my property, waiting to be raised and eaten." The brown bear was very angry, and it understood the value of the musk deer.

"I told you I didn't kill you, don't you believe me!"

"I went over and saw that you were there, eating the carcass of the musk deer. How dare you deny it?" Silver Wolf's refusal fueled the brown bear's fire, and he swore up with the bear's paw.

A new round of fighting started like this, and Sheng Ran, who was five kilometers away, did not expect that he would be the culprit of this brawl.

Silver Wolf said that he was very wronged. It was the first time he was cheated by others. He cursed the beast who killed the musk deer in his heart, and secretly regretted why he didn't resist the temptation.
