I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

The cold wind, carrying the stench of wild beasts, was like an invisible tentacle, teasing the three people's tense nerves.

There were shadows all around, and all kinds of strange calls came one after another, like a strange symphony played under the night sky.

They could feel that in the darkness, countless pairs of eyes were staring greedily at the camp, as if they would pounce on them and tear them to pieces in the next second.

The atmosphere was so tense that it almost froze, and even breathing became cautious.

"Warrior, this atmosphere is a bit scary!" Wumeng Tianlong swallowed his saliva, his voice trembling slightly.

Although he was a member of the archaeological team, he had never seen such a scene. Usually, he only looked at dinosaur fossils in the museum. Now he had to face the living beast head-on, and he couldn't help feeling a little scared.

"Calm down, calm down! It's just basic operation." Zheng Xiongxiong patted his shoulder with pretended to be relaxed, "Thinking back then, I fought a saber-toothed tiger alone, that was thrilling!" Although he said so, his hand holding the spear tightly revealed his inner nervousness.

Zhaoyang Ruyue was relatively calm. She carefully observed the surrounding environment and seriously learned Zheng Xiongxiong's techniques of setting traps.

"Warrior, should this trap be deeper?" She pointed to a freshly dug pit and offered her suggestion.

"Well, you're right!" Zheng Xiongxiong nodded approvingly, "As expected of an archaeologist, you have sharp observation skills!" Following Zhaoyang Ruyue's suggestion, he dug the pit a little deeper and inserted a sharpened wooden stick at the bottom.

As the traps were set one by one, a simple defense line was formed around the camp.

"Hehe, now, even if it's the Wild Boar King who comes, he will have to leave some money for passage!" Zheng Xiongxiong said with a proud smile.

The trap quickly took effect.

An unlucky hare fell into a trap by mistake and was pierced through the body by a sharp wooden stick, letting out a shrill scream.

Soon after, another unknown bird fell into the trap. It flapped its wings but couldn't fly out.

"It seems that I have a midnight snack for tonight." Wumeng Tianlong said excitedly. The fear he had just felt was swept away, replaced by a full sense of accomplishment.

However, Zheng Xiongxiong's expression suddenly became serious.

"Something's wrong..." he whispered, "It's too quiet..."

"Quiet? Isn't quiet good? I think it's too noisy!" Wumeng Tianlong said as he peeled the rabbit skin skillfully. His technique was surprisingly skillful. It seemed that his ancient life during this period had allowed him to quickly master a lot of survival skills.

"No, it's too quiet. It's even more dangerous." Zheng Xiongxiong frowned and glanced around vigilantly. "Beasts have very sharp intuition. They won't give up food easily."

Zhaoyang Ruyue also noticed something unusual. She clenched the stone knife in her hand and whispered, "The warrior is right. We must be vigilant."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gray shadow flashed by, and a huge gray wolf quietly avoided all the traps and appeared at the edge of the camp!

"Fuck! There really are people who are not afraid of death!" Wumeng Tianlong screamed, picked up a burning wooden stick, and swung it at the gray wolf.

The gray wolf nimbly jumped back, avoiding the attack, with a fierce light flashing in its green eyes.

It growled and pounced towards the Wumeng Tianlong.

"Oh my god! Are they serious?!" Wumeng Tianlong was so scared that he staggered and barely avoided the wolf's attack.

At the critical moment, Zhaoyang Ruyue was quick-eyed and quick-handed. She picked up a stone and smashed it hard on the gray wolf's head.

"Awoo!" The gray wolf let out a cry of pain and pounced on Zhaoyang Ruyue even more furiously.

"You little brat, how dare you bully our archaeological team?! I'll send you back to the Jurassic!" Zheng Xiongxiong roared, and the spear in his hand stabbed out like lightning, hitting the gray wolf in the chest.

The gray wolf twitched a few times, then collapsed to the ground and became motionless.

Zheng Xiongxiong looked around vigilantly and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid things won't be peaceful tonight..." Before he finished speaking, a deafening roar came from a distance, making the three of them stand on end.

"What's that sound..." Wumeng Tianlong's voice trembled slightly.

Zheng Xiongxiong's face was solemn. He clenched the spear in his hand and slowly uttered two words: "Wolf King..."

The wolf king's roar echoed in the valley, rustling the leaves and frightening the three people.

Zheng Xiongxiong swallowed his saliva and whispered, "Looks like a team battle is going to start tonight..."

Wumeng Tianlong said with a bitter face: "Team battle? This is not a game. You can't revive if you die!"

Zhaoyang Ruyue forced herself to remain calm: "Don't panic yet, let's strengthen our defenses and try to hold out until dawn."

For the next few hours, the three of them felt like they were in a horror movie.

The howling of the wolves came one after another, and their green eyes flickered in the darkness, like ghosts from hell.

They took turns keeping watch, using torches and stones to drive away the approaching wolves, their nerves tense every second.

Finally, the sky began to turn pale.

The three exhausted people breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if they had won a tough boss battle.

"Oh my god, it's finally dawn!" Wumeng Tianlong slumped on the ground, feeling like all the bones in his body were falling apart.

However, dawn brings not only hope, but also new challenges.

The early morning sun shone on the camp, illuminating the prey in the trap: several fat rabbits and a fawn that had accidentally wandered in.

"Wow! I'm rich! I can have an extra meal tonight!" Wumeng Tianlong was instantly revived with full health and rubbed his hands excitedly.

"Don't get too excited just yet," Zheng Xiongxiong pointed at the rising sun. "In this weather, the meat will spoil quickly."

Zhaoyang Ruyue also realized the seriousness of the problem.

They simply couldn't finish so much food, and in this ancient era without refrigerators, preserving food became a huge problem.

Looking at the pile of prey, the three fell silent.

Wumeng Tianlong scratched his hair and said, "How about... we dry it into jerky?"

Zheng Xiongxiong shook his head. "There's not enough salt. Besides, it's so hot in the sun, it'll probably attract flies before it even dries."

For a moment, an eerie silence filled the camp, with only the occasional bird calls making the atmosphere even more solemn.

Zhaoyang Ruyue stared at the prey on the ground with a frown on her face. Suddenly, she raised her head abruptly... "I..." Zhaoyang Ruyue stared at the prey on the ground with a frown on her face. Suddenly, she raised her head abruptly... "I remember!"

Wumeng Tianlong and Zheng Xiongxiong looked at her at the same time, their eyes filled with the desire to survive, as if a drowning person had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"What did you remember? Did you remember how to get back to the modern era?" Wumeng Tianlong asked excitedly, wishing he could hug Zhaoyang Ruyue's thighs immediately.

"You wish!" Zheng Xiongxiong gave him a slap on the face without mercy. "Do you think this is a game? Can you just go back when I say so?"

Zhaoyang Ruyue ignored the two people's jokes and tried hard to recall the methods of ancient humans preserving food that she had seen in archaeological research.

"I seem to have read in the literature that ancient humans would use a special plant mixed with soil to wrap food and then bury it in cellars..."

"Mud? A cellar?" Wumeng Tianlong looked bewildered. "Is this reliable? Will it turn into jerky that smells like mud?"

Zheng Xiongxiong became interested: "It sounds a bit like the way we pickle pickles now. Maybe it will work!"

Zhaoyang Ruyue couldn't guarantee success, but there was no better way at the moment.

"Let's try our best! It's better than letting it rot."

The three of them immediately took action and began to look for the special plant that Zhaoyang Ruyue had mentioned based on her description.

Fortunately, this plant is quite common in this area, and they collected a large amount of it without much effort.

The next step is to dig the cellar.

In ancient times, there were no excavators or shovels, and they could only dig bit by bit with simple stone tools and wooden sticks.

This job is tiring and dirty, but in order to eat fresh meat, the three of them are fighting for their lives.

As the sun gradually set, the cellar was finally dug.

Zhaoyang Ruyue followed the method she remembered, wrapped the processed prey with plants and soil, and carefully placed it in the cellar.

Everything is ready, just waiting for time to test the results.

The three of them sat around the fire, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

"Uh... I hope when we open it tomorrow, it won't be a cellar of 'biochemical weapons'..." Wumeng Tianlong said in a low voice.

Zhaoyang Ruyue rolled her eyes at him and said, "Shut your mouth!"

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and stood up abruptly, "Wait! It seems like there's something missing..."
