When the old wolf used to be a wolf’s head, the tribe Anza led by it was in a rocky area outside the Morphy Forest. There were not many ordinary beasts living there. It was originally not suitable for wolves to settle, but because there is It is a hot spot with strong fire elements, so the old wolf chose to live there.
Now I am out of the wolf pack. As a former wolf head, the current wolf head will certainly not let the old wolf stay in the pack. The old wolf who lives alone has no shelter from the wolf pack, and is only an old demonized creature. There is no right to live in the area with strong fire elements. Although it is barren, there are still many fire and rock monsters that are stronger than it.
The old wolf in the Bering Mountains has been looking for it for so long, and because of the abundant sunshine in this area, a batch of fire-attribute plants have grown in this area, which made the old wolf more satisfied.
Looking at the lack of a cluster of fruits with fire elements near his den, the barren brain of the old wolf couldn't think of the reason, because no herbivorous animals nearby dared to come to his den to catch the autumn breeze.
Huo Yunguo is only missing a bit, which is a bit trivial compared to the rest. The old wolf thought for a while without thinking of anything, so he went back to his den and lay down and went to sleep. It just went to the leopard in the north to find food, and its belly is now swollen, so it was just right to sleep.
After all, the old wolf is old and lacks the enthusiasm when he was young. This time I went to hunt in the territory of the demonized leopard to the north. The old wolf did it secretly and did not alarm the leopard. The difference between the demonized creature and the beast is actually not Although they understand the elemental power, they are still beasts in their habits. They are as lazy as other beasts in winter, but the advantage is that they are easier to hunt and even lazy than ordinary beasts in winter.
The old wolf with a slightly swollen belly quickly fell asleep as soon as he got down. There was a trace of thick water flowing around one of the blind eyes, and some wounds on his body also showed signs of cracking. It seems that the hunting operation of the old wolf Not as relaxed as it is. However, the old wolf is rich in experience after all. Even when he sleeps, he pats the ground with his tail, and if there is any wind and grass around, the old wolf can wake up for the first time.
Only 10 days before the arrival of winter, Locke and Angelina left the cave where they had lived for nearly a week. Because according to their current location, it would take at least a week for them to leave the Bering Mountains and leave the Bering Mountains before winter. This is their plan.
Rock’s back is tied with a belt with a large piece of turf. This is both their cushion and the quilt for their sleeping. This turf is three times larger than the previous turf that just covered the two of them. It was done by Locke and Angelina for three days together. Without the shelter of the cave, the two of them have to sleep in the mountains and forests. Without this turf, the two of them will never be able to spend the cold night.
In addition to carrying a large piece of turf on his back, there are also pieces of bacon and wooden pots hanging from Locke's waist. The bacon was marinated with salt crab meat. Although it hasn't snowed yet, the two days of cold wind has arrived. The bacon that has just been marinated for a few days has been frozen hard. Locke feels that it's okay to hit people with this meat. . The wooden pots contained fresh water. Four wooden pots had enough water for them to drink for five days before finding a new source of water.
Angelina is not as fully armed as Locke, but she also carries a small bag. The bag was made by Angelina tearing off a corner of her broken skirt and allowing Locke to sew, this kind of fabric that is smoother than skin Locke I have never seen it before, and I was careful when sewing, for fear of breaking the thin fabric. Fortunately, the quality of the princess's clothes is guaranteed, and Locke has made no mistake.
"This is silk." Angelina said to Rock Cop: "And it is the most precious brocade silk."
The clothing that Locke wore from childhood to large was only linen, and Faustin civilians could only wear linen. The official definition: silk can only be used by nobles. Of course, some wealthy people secretly bought to wear them, who knows. In the barracks, Baron Kedozi and Master Sauron were also nobles, but they usually wore their own armor, and Locke had no chance to see silk clothes.
Angelina’s bag is filled with fruits collected by Locke. The quantity is not large, and Angelina will not be very tired carrying it. It's not that Locke didn't want to waste Angelina's physical strength, but Angelina took the initiative to ask to share something. Angelina was not a person willing to drag oil bottles.
The night before leaving, Locke took a good walk around the saltwater lake. In the end, he did not find the place where the salt crab king might be hibernating. When talking to Angelina about it, Angelina’s explanation is that “salt crabs have the potential to demonize creatures. Although they still belong to the category of ordinary beasts, they have more instincts to seek advantages and avoid harm than ordinary beasts.”
"There must be a demonized creature with the same strength as the Salt Crab King nearby, otherwise it will not choose to hide and hibernate alone. Its family members are almost killed by you. It will not come out yet, which means it hibernates. The location is a closed and undisturbed place." As soon as Angelina finished speaking, Locke and Angelina turned their eyes to the center of the salt lake. The salt crab is also an amphibious creature, and the king crab is not bad in water. This place is only suitable for hibernation of the king crab at the bottom of the lake. Locke was extremely thankful that he and Angelina hadn't overly disturbed the saltwater lake during the two days that he and Angelina had stayed by the saltwater lake, otherwise a crab king of unknown strength would be enough for Locke and Angelina who had not fully recovered at the time to suffer.
Speaking of King Crab, Locke remembered the brown wolf he had seen. That wolf was the beast that Locke had seen so far that gave him the most pressure. It was definitely a demonized creature, Locke thought.
Locke and Angelina are moving in the northeast. Starting in the morning, until the afternoon, the two of Rock have reached the furthest part of the forest marked by Rock. This is also the first time Locke saw the brown one. The location of the wolf. The two walked together, it was much slower than walking alone, whether it was Angelina's lack of physical strength, or both of them were carrying a lot of things on their backs, which slowed down their progress.
"Come on, this place is not safe." Locke said to Angelina, who was panting behind him.
Angelina pressed her knee with one hand, and panted her chest with one hand. Angelina’s stamina is obviously exhausted. In fact, the two have already walked a lot. According to the normal daily walking distance, they can now rest. But Locke is worried that she will meet the wolf again, so she decides to take a longer distance. .
Seeing Angelina didn't move her foot for a long time, Locke sighed, walked over and stretched out her hand. Angelina looked up at Locke, panting, she didn't say anything, and put her white right hand on Locke. Locke lifted and pulled Angelina to continue walking forward. Their goal was the hillside in the northeast, hoping to reach that time before it was dark, Locke thought while walking.
The old wolf fell asleep quietly in his den. It was full today. In half of this situation, it will sleep directly until it wakes up again when hungry. This time is one to two days. between. The old wolf's tail gently stroked the ground as if stroked precious silk. As the sun sets, the last ray of sunlight shines on the old wolf's belly, and the old wolf rolls over comfortably, and then goes to sleep. Suddenly, as if feeling something, the old wolf's tail wagging up and down fell silent.
At the entrance of the cave, a black spotted leopard appeared. Its footsteps were light, like an assassin hiding in the shadow. The shadow of the old man in the sunset blocked all the light in the cave where the old wolf lived.
Locke's speed was not bad. At the moment when the sun went down the mountain, they finally reached the destination that Locke expected. Angelina slumped softly on the stone like a deflated ball, rubbing her feet constantly. Today’s roads have been a lot, and most of them are mountain roads, which are not easy to follow.
Locke removed the turf on his back, water and food were put aside steadily, and a fire started. The place he chose was not bad. It was a depression on the back of the hillside, just enough to block the cold wind at night.
Looking on the road today, Locke didn't bother to find food. The two could only eat something they carried for dinner. At noon, they only ate a few fruits to cushion their stomachs and continued on the road. Now they are hungry. Locke started the bonfire, went back to the food, and picked a fatter salt crab bacon, and skewered it with tree sticks to make barbecue. There were some ground fire cloud fruit powder in Locke's close-fitting trouser pocket. While roasting the meat, Locke skillfully took out some fire cloud fruit powder from his trouser pocket and sprinkled it on, and the aroma of the barbecue suddenly dispersed. Angelina, who was resting on the side, couldn't help but raise her head, licking her lips and looking at the meat that Locke was roasting.
The old wolf dragged his scarred body and hobbled in the forest. It was late at night, and the biting cold wind was blowing fiercely towards the old wolf. The old wolf's fur was still glowing with fresh blood. After the cold wind blew, it turned into ice dregs and adhered tightly to the old wolf's fur.
The old wolf was sneak attacked, and it was the demonized leopard to the north who did it. The old wolf hunted wildly in the territory of the Demonized Leopard two days ago. Although he had done very carefully, it was discovered by the Demonized Leopard. This forest is so big, each demonized creature has its own strictly planned territory, and whoever crosses the boundary is a challenge to those who belong to the territory.
Especially on this winter day, all the beasts in the Bering Mountains are not easy to live. Vegetarians either choose to migrate to the dangerous Morpheus Forest, or choose the barren and cold Bering Mountains; meat eaters also face it. The same choice, food is not easy to find, the old wolf cannot hunt food in its own territory, and its neighbor’s demonized leopard is not easy, even this clever leopard is frugal every time he spends winter. The prey is stocked.
The demonized leopard who went hunting during the day suddenly discovered that he had a family of mountain antelopes that he had not killed, and three mountain antelopes had died.
Biting on the neck of an adult mountain antelope, the enchanted leopard stared coldly at the three solitary mountain antelope bone frames on the side, scattered around the bone frames are a few brown wolf hairs. The only young antelope remaining in this antelope family squatted tremblingly, watching the demonized leopard eating out but dared not to escape. The demonized leopard is a demonized creature, and eats more than ordinary leopards. Of course, an adult mountain antelope can't satisfy it. After eating the last bite, the demonized leopard pounced on the shivering antelope, with a vicious look in the eyes of the demonized leopard. Decided to retaliate, it will cost the humble thief.
