Crossing the wilderness to survive, starting with a broken kitchen knife.

Zhang Shi took back the wood, took out the oil lamp, and looked carefully into the mine.

The two mining machines continued to work tirelessly. After three days, the mined ore had piled up into a small hill.

Zhang Shi sorted and collected the mineral resources totaling more than 7000 units, installed the mining machine, and put them all into his backpack.

The mine was some distance from the shelter, and the cold and snowy weather made traveling back and forth between the two places inconvenient. Zhang Shi had no choice but to put his mining plans on hold.

As Zhang Shi stepped out of the mine, Pippi, who was following behind him, seemed to have noticed something and cried out anxiously.

As Pipi's cry rang out, a gray figure pounced out from the side of Zhang Shi. Zhang Shi was alert and shrank back, just in time to avoid the attack.

The wind and snow outside were getting stronger and stronger, and the snowflakes were like a city, blocking the view.

Zhang Shi's forehead was covered in sweat. He held onto the mountain wall with one hand, steadied his body, and looked towards the cave entrance.

Several gray wolves appeared from the wind and snow, and the one who launched the attack just now was the wolf king.

Pipi bared his teeth, stood in front of Zhang Shi, and roared as if threatening the wolf pack.

The wolves hunched their tails between their legs and wandered back and forth near the cave entrance, surrounding Zhang Shi and Pipi.

Zhang Shi guessed that the wolves had been targeting him since he left the shelter. Seeing him enter the mine, they were lying in wait outside.

Zhang Shi felt a surge of worry. The road ahead was blocked. While there were other access points to the mine, he had no idea where they led. It was getting late, and any delay would likely mean they wouldn't be able to reach the shelter before sunset. The wilderness at night was undoubtedly more dangerous than the wolves before them.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shi decided to go all out. He planned to fight these gray wolves with his back to the mine.

He put Lao Duan on his waist, took out the bone bow, and attached all the few feathers he had to the arrows.

"You beasts are really haunting me. I'm tired of eating wolf meat, yet you still rush over to give it to me."

The gray wolf seemed to understand Zhang Shi's words and let out a series of low growls, drowning out Pippi's cries.

Seeing the wolves about to make a move, Zhang Shi decided to strike first. With all his might, he drew his bow and shot at the wolf king.

"Whoosh~"

The arrow flew through the air and missed the target as expected.

The Wolf King was already quite agile, constantly moving before Zhang Shi's eyes. Asking a new archer to shoot at a moving target was indeed a bit of a challenge.

Zhang Shi's mentality was not affected at all. He retreated into the cave while shooting arrows.

In the construction interface, Zhang Shi made hundreds of iron arrows without worrying about the ammunition problem at all.

While fighting and retreating, Zhang Shi used an old knife to cut a gap and hung the oil lamp on the stone wall.

The wolves were not frightened by Zhang Shi's arrows at all, and entered the mine one after another.

Zhang Shi was forced by the wolves to retreat to the entrance of the mining hall.

Zhang Shi knew that if the wolves came out of the narrow mine tunnel, his situation would become even more passive, so he made up his mind not to retreat.

After swallowing a plum, Zhang Shi drew his bow and shot three arrows in quick succession.

Because the mine was narrow, an unlucky gray wolf was unable to dodge and was shot in the hind legs by Zhang Shi. It fell to the ground, wailing.

Zhang Shi's eyes lit up and he shot an arrow at the gray wolf lying on the ground.

The arrow pierced the gray wolf's heart accurately, and the wailing stopped abruptly.

The wolf pack was angry because they had lost a member, and followed the wolf king, rushing up together with roars.

After Zhang Shi shot a few arrows without any effect, he had no choice but to retreat into the mining hall and let the wolves in.

As soon as the wolves entered the hall, they scattered and tried to surround Zhang Shi.

Seeing his master in danger, Pippi turned into a flash of lightning, rushed to the front gray wolf, bit its front leg, and then quickly retreated.

Pipi's rank is higher than that of ordinary gray wolves. Even an underage puppy can cause some trouble to an adult gray wolf.

Pippi was very fast. The gray wolf that was bitten seemed to have an injury on its front leg and was unable to move. It could not catch Pippi's shadow at all.

Pipi was very clever, picking on the weak and biting the lame wolf's good leg. In just a few moves, he knocked the injured wolf down.

Zhang Shi seized the opportunity and fired another arrow.

This time the arrow did not miss the target and pierced the gray wolf's body. The gray wolf howled a few times and then stopped moving.

"There are only four left."

With the death of the second gray wolf, Zhang Shi was greatly encouraged, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

One wolf after another was killed by Zhang Shi. The wolf king was furious. Taking advantage of Zhang Shi's bow, he crouched low, his entire body emitting a faint blue light, making him extremely conspicuous in the dark mine.

Zhang Shi felt that something was wrong, so he pointed his arrow at the wolf king.

"Ouch!"

The wolf king had finished accumulating strength and his speed increased dramatically, and even Pipi didn't have time to counterattack.

As soon as Zhang Shi released the bowstring, he found that the wolf king had already rushed in front of him.

Before he could do anything, the wolf king bit Zhang Shi's leg and pulled him hard, dragging him to the ground.

As luck would have it, the wolf king bit Zhang Shi's injured leg.

The wolf king's rank is high, the same as that of a black bear, and it is an adult beast, so its strength may be even greater.

The Wilderness Hunter's leather pants are extremely tough, but they cannot withstand prolonged biting.

Zhang Shi only felt a sharp pain in his leg. He was dragged by the wolf king for more than ten meters. Seeing that he was about to be dragged into the mine tunnel, Zhang Shi thought to himself that it was not good.

The other gray wolves stopped Pipi and prevented him from rescuing Zhang Shi.

Zhang Shi was shocked and angry, with a fire of evil accumulating in his chest.

Just as the wolf king dragged Zhang Shi to the cave entrance, Zhang Shi stretched out his arm and grabbed the stone wall, his body suddenly having a foothold. Zhang Shi then straightened up, pulled out Lao Duan with his other hand, and chopped the wolf's head with force, just like chopping a black bear.

The Wolf King's entire body erupted in blue light. He unexpectedly opened his mouth and leaped backward, just in time to avoid Zhang Shi's attack.

The attack missed, and Lao Duan cut the stone as easily as cutting tofu, with the entire blade sinking into the ground.

Zhang Shi took the opportunity to stand up, endured the pain, bent over, pulled out Lao Duan, held it in front of him, and took the initiative to attack the wolf king.

The Wolf King had seen how sharp Lao Duan was and did not dare to confront him head-on. Instead, he used his speed advantage to dodge back and forth, trying to consume Zhang Shi's strength.

Zhang Shi knew that their speeds were not at the same level at all, and Pipi's roars could be heard from time to time, making him even more anxious.

Seeing that they were about to hit the cave entrance again, Zhang Shi suddenly came up with an idea.

Zhang Shi suddenly shouted, raised the Old Duan in his hand high, and chopped it down towards the front. Sure enough, the Wolf King jumped away.

Taking advantage of the space being opened up, Zhang Shi took out a pile of stones and wood from the space, piled them in the mine tunnel, and blocked the entrance.

After doing all this, Zhang Shitou turned around and left without looking back, preparing to cooperate with Pipi to deal with the ordinary gray wolf first.
