I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

Chapter 10: Crossing the Panic: A Life-and-Death Test in the Primeval Forest

Zhaoyang Ruyue started to run, but there were bushes and thorns everywhere, and she tripped after running only two steps.

"Oh my god! What a mess this place is! It's even messier than my doghouse!" She got up in a panic, brushed off the dirt on her body, and felt very panicked.

The sacrificial site, the cave, the strong light...all disappeared at this moment, leaving only a primeval forest.

What about the team expedition?

This is simply a live version of survival in the wilderness!

"Tianlong! Baona! Li Gong! Where are you?" Zhaoyang Ruyue shouted at the top of her voice, but the only responses she got were the strange cries of unknown birds and the rustling of leaves in the wind.

"No way, no way, I'm not the only one who traveled through time? This is a joke!" She wanted to cry but had no tears. She felt like a poor little chicken thrown into primitive society.

Zhaoyang Ruyue was so thirsty that she felt like her throat was about to smoke.

"No, we have to find water first." She forced herself to calm down and began to observe the surrounding environment.

This forest is filled with towering ancient trees that block out the sun. The ground is damp and the air is filled with the smell of rotten leaves.

Suddenly, the sound of flowing water came into her ears.

"Great! There is hope!" Zhaoyang Ruyue's eyes lit up, and she walked carefully towards the voice as if she had discovered a new continent.

Pushing aside the branches and vines that block the way, a crystal clear stream appears before your eyes. The gurgling sound of the stream is like the sound of nature.

"I finally found you, my dear brook!" Zhaoyang Ruyue couldn't wait to rush to the stream, scooped up a pool of clear stream water, and drank it in big gulps.

"Ah! I'm alive!" She breathed a sigh of relief and felt herself revived.

Just as Zhaoyang Ruyue was drinking water by the stream, there was a rustling sound behind him... "Who?" Zhaoyang Ruyue was drinking happily when there was a rustling sound suddenly behind him, like something rubbing in the grass.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she turned around suddenly, almost spitting out a mouthful of water.

Good guy!

Not far away, a huge wild wolf was staring at her fiercely, its green eyes flashing in the dim forest, and saliva dripping from its fangs. The scene was even more exciting than a horror movie!

"Oh my god! This thing is a real wolf! It's not a Husky in disguise!" Zhaoyang Ruyue was complaining madly in her heart, but she pretended to be calm on the surface.

She is not a weak woman who can't even tie a chicken. After all, she is an archaeologist who often goes on field expeditions. This little scene can't scare her!

She quickly picked up a dry branch and used it as a weapon.

"You beast! You want to eat me? Don't you see who your aunt is?" Zhaoyang Ruyue waved the branch fiercely, trying to scare away the wolf.

The wolf obviously didn't buy her trick. It growled and pounced on her.

Zhaoyang Ruyue was so frightened that she subconsciously swung the branch and hit the wolf on the head.

"Awooo--" The wolf was stunned by the sudden attack and took a few steps back.

"Hey! It really works!" Zhaoyang Ruyue suddenly became excited. "It seems that this wolf is not very smart!"

But she was too happy too soon.

The wolf quickly recovered and attacked again, faster and more ferociously than before.

Zhaoyang Ruyue did not dare to be careless and used all her skills to deal with the wild wolf.

While dodging the wolf's attacks, she looked for opportunities to fight back. After a few rounds, she actually figured out the wolf's attack pattern.

Although the wild wolf's attacks are ferocious, its moves are relatively simple, relying mainly on speed and strength.

Zhaoyang Ruyue seized this weakness, dodged flexibly, and when the wolf missed its attack, she poked it hard with a branch.

Although the damage caused was limited, it still made the wild wolves wary and they didn't dare to approach easily.

However, the long fight gradually exhausted Zhaoyang Ruyue's physical strength and her movements began to become slow.

She knew that this was not a solution... Just then, a shout came from a distance: "Hey! Who is it?!"

Zhaoyang Ruyue felt like a robot whose battery had been drained, and her movements were so slow that it seemed as if she was running at 0.5 times the speed.

She thought to herself that this was not good. If she continued like this, she would become the beast's dinner sooner or later!

Just when she was about to despair, a shout came from a distance: "Hey! Who is it?!"

This sound is even more beautiful than the sound of nature!

Zhaoyang Ruyue felt as if she had been revived to full health in an instant, as if she had seen a savior.

She turned her head and saw a tall and burly figure emerging from the dense forest with a bow and arrow in his hand.

Before she could open her mouth to call for help, the man had already drawn his bow and shot the arrow, his movements smooth and seamless.

With a whoosh, a sharp arrow flew through the air and accurately hit the wolf's hind leg.

"Awooo--" The wild wolf let out a shrill howl and fled into the depths of the forest with its tail between its legs.

"Oh my God! A great archer!" Zhaoyang Ruyue was so excited that she almost jumped up. This move was so cool!

She quickly ran up to the man and said with tears of gratitude, "Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I would have died here today!"

The man looked her up and down, his eyes full of vigilance.

"Who are you? Where are you from?" His voice was rough and low, with a strong sense of wildness.

Zhaoyang Ruyue then noticed that the man in front of her was wearing coarse linen clothes, had messy hair, and had some strange patterns painted on his face. He looked like a primitive man!

Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that... she had traveled through time?

!

"Um... I was... doing field research..." Zhaoyang Ruyue explained nervously, "I accidentally got lost..."

The man obviously didn't understand what she meant by "field research". He just frowned and looked at her suspiciously.

"Field research? What is that?"

Zhaoyang Ruyue was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to explain.

She couldn't say that she was an archaeologist and accidentally traveled to ancient times, right?

I guess people would think she was crazy.

"I..." Zhaoyang Ruyue was racking her brains for words when the man suddenly pointed at the jade pendant hanging around her neck and asked, "What is this?"

Zhaoyang Ruyue looked down and saw that it was the jade pendant of the ancient Queen of Dian!

She quickly hid the jade pendant in her clothes. "It's nothing! It's just an ordinary ornament..."

A gleam flashed in the man's eyes, "Let me see it."

Zhaoyang Ruyue thought to herself, oh no, why are the eyes of this primitive handsome guy so sharp? Is he thinking I am some kind of monster?

She subconsciously covered her clothes tightly and waved her hands repeatedly: "It's really nothing to see, it's just a broken stone." But in her heart she was thinking wildly: Brother, this is not a broken stone, it's an antique!

The kind that is priceless!

Hunter Zhao—Zhaoyang Ruyue gave him a name without his permission—obviously didn't believe her.

He took a step forward and reached out to grab Zhaoyang Ruyue's collar.

Zhaoyang Ruyue was startled and took a step back reflexively, staring at him vigilantly: "What are you doing?!" In this primitive society, people would not fight over a disagreement, right?

She doesn't want to experience the "forced persuasion" of ancient times!

Hunter Zhao's hand stopped in mid-air, his brows furrowed even tighter.

Why is this woman so weird?

"You're sneaking around, there must be something wrong!" He said in a tough tone and approached again.

Zhaoyang Ruyue's eyes rolled and a plan came to her mind.

She squeezed out two tears and pretended to be pitiful: "Brother, I am really lost! My companions are all gone, I am scared..." She took a gamble, this trick of "I am weak, but I am right" works in any era!

Hunter Zhao indeed hesitated for a moment, but still did not completely let down his guard.

"Your companions? Where are they?"

Zhaoyang Ruyue pointed to the depths of the forest and made up a story: "They... they are in there! We were doing a field survey together, but we got separated..." She prayed silently that her teammates would not show up to ruin their plan at this time!

Hunter Zhao pondered for a moment, as if considering the truth in her words.

Zhaoyang Ruyue struck while the iron was hot and continued to play the victim: "Brother, can you help me find them? I beg you!"

Hunter Zhao looked at her, then looked into the depths of the forest, and finally shook his head.

"I have something else to do and can't go with you to look for it." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey! Don't go!" Zhaoyang Ruyue was anxious. If he left, she would be alone in this wilderness, wouldn't she be in trouble?

"Brother, I...I will reward you!"

Hunter Zhao stopped and looked back at her: "Reward?"

Zhaoyang Ruyue nodded quickly and took out a piece of chocolate from her pocket - this was the snack she had stuffed in her pocket before leaving, but she didn't expect it to become her life-saving straw now.

"this is for you!"

Hunter Zhao looked at the thing in her hand, puzzled: "What is this?"

Zhaoyang Ruyue peeled off the wrapping paper, revealing the dark brown chocolate.

"It's delicious! So sweet!" she said, breaking off a small piece and handing it to him.

Hunter Zhao hesitated for a moment, but finally took it and put it in his mouth... The next second, his face changed drastically.

"What is this?!" He threw the remaining chocolate on the ground. "It's bitter!"

Zhaoyang Ruyue: "..." She forgot that pure dark chocolate is probably a dark dish for primitive people... It's over now, there's no hope at all!

Hunter Zhao ignored her and turned around to disappear into the dense forest.

Zhaoyang Ruyue stood there blankly, looking at the chocolate on the ground, wanting to cry but unable to.

Her stomach suddenly growled, reminding her that now was not the time to be sad.

I have to fill my stomach first... But, which of these strange plants around me is edible?

Zhaoyang Ruyue swallowed her saliva, her eyes fixed on a tree not far away that was bearing red fruit… That fruit looked a little familiar…
