When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Chapter 4 Fishing for Wolves

After waking up in a daze, Zhu Chongjiu had just sat up when his stomach started growling.

Zhu Chongjiu, still half asleep, raised his hand to rub his eyes and muttered to himself, "How long have I been asleep? Why am I so hungry as soon as I wake up?"

Zhu Chongjiu got up, picked up his sword, and walked out of the cave.

Reaching the cave entrance, he stood by the barrier and looked out to see if any other wolves would come to retaliate or ambush him!

He might be killed by a giant wolf the moment he stepped out of the cave.

Zhu Chongjiu observed the giant wolf for a long time using various postures and methods, but still couldn't find it.

Then he went out with his sword in hand.

After observing carefully for a while, he put down his sword, picked up the snow on the ground, and began to wash himself simply, rubbing his face and body, and even putting his fingers in his mouth to rub his teeth with the snow.

After wiping himself down, Zhu Chongjiu thought of a question: Why does it feel less cold now?

Thinking back to the first time I peeked my head out of the barrier, I felt like if I stayed for even a minute, my brain would freeze. But now, I've been outside for half a day and I don't feel anything. Even when I wash my body with snow, I don't feel too cold, just a cool sensation!

Zhu Chongjiu thought to himself, "Could it be that my ability to adapt is so fast? I've basically adapted after just one meal of meat?"

Never mind, I've finished my personal hygiene, let's hurry up and cut some meat to go back to the cave and roast it!

This time, Zhu Chongjiu directly removed the front leg of a giant wolf, dragged it back into the cave, skinned it at the entrance, and prepared to take the meat back.

While skinning the wolf, Zhu Chongjiu thought, "This wolf skin is so good, I have to keep it. The ground in the cave isn't cold, but it's uncomfortable. If I put on a few layers of wolf skin, it will be much more comfortable to sleep in."

Besides, I can't stay in this cave forever. I can't leave wearing just boxer shorts when I go out. With this wolf pelt, I can make myself a fur coat!

Hmm! Let's get to work after we finish this meal, otherwise the giant wolf at the cave entrance will be snatched away by other wild beasts, and all my hard work will have been for nothing!

The process was the same, taking about half an hour. After eating and drinking my fill, I felt dizzy and still wanted to sleep!

Zhu Chongjiu muttered to himself, "No, I can't sleep."

I don't know when I'll wake up again. There's no set time. If the giant wolf is gone, I won't even have time to cry.

Without further ado, Zhu Chongjiu took his sword and walked out of the cave.

Since the giant wolf's corpse was right at the edge of the barrier, Zhu Chongjiu could reach it from inside the cave. At that moment, Zhu Chongjiu had an idea: I feel like I can drag it!

Then Zhu Chongjiu reached out and grabbed half of the giant wolf's head, steadied himself in a horse stance, and pulled it back, sending it crashing down on its rear end. He used too much force!

Zhu Chongjiu never imagined that he would have such great strength.

It's like an adult using all their strength to pull up a single blade of grass.

Even without its two front legs, this giant wolf must weigh at least five or six hundred pounds.

Zhu Chongjiu lay sprawled on the ground, the giant wolf's corpse covering his body, with only his head sticking out.

Fortunately, the giant wolf's carcass had been frozen outside for some time, its blood had congealed, and apart from some snow, it wasn't covered in anything else.

Zhu Chongjiu didn't think too much about it. He had to skin her quickly, otherwise she would melt and the insides of her body would make the hole stink!

Because Zhu Chongjiu used to work as an electrician on construction sites, his hands were quite dexterous. Although the sword was a bit long, it didn't stop Zhu Chongjiu from quickly peeling off the wolf skin.

Even so, it took Zhu Chongjiu almost two hours to subdue one giant wolf.

The reason it took so long was to preserve the integrity of the giant wolf pelt, which is why it was a bit slow.

After stripping the first wolf, they pushed it outside the cave and froze it again, then pulled the other one in and continued the operation.

This time, thanks to previous experience, it was significantly faster than the last time. After another hour or so, the other giant wolf was also devoured.

Zhu Chongjiu looked at the giant wolf's corpse in front of him, removed the giant wolf's four legs and the remaining two legs that had been pushed out of the cave earlier, repaired the giant wolf's skull with his sword, washed it with snow, and made a simple water ladle!

After finishing all the work, Zhu Chongjiu was hungry again.

"The giant wolf only has some meat on its legs; the rest of its body isn't much either. It's just that it's big," Zhu Chongjiu muttered to himself.

Where should we eat for this meal?

Let's place these six legs at the entrance of the cave for now.

With my current appetite, even if the temperature inside the cave is high, I wouldn't wait for it to melt before I eat it all.

Then Zhu Chongjiu raised his sword and, holding a piece of the giant wolf's neck that was about half a meter long and thirty centimeters thick, walked to the fire and began to roast it!

More than half an hour later, Zhu Chongjiu let out a burp, gulped down water from the pool for a while, and fell asleep contentedly. Before falling asleep, he was still feeling hot all over and was in a daze.

After several days of this eating and sleeping routine, a pile of white bones appeared at the entrance of the cave!

At the entrance to the cave, only the legs of two giant wolves remained.

Zhu Chongjiu's current appetite is such that one giant wolf leg per meal is no longer enough to satisfy him.

I'm starting to worry again. I can't just sit around waiting for them to come to me. I haven't seen any giant wolves around lately. Aren't wolves supposed to be social animals?

Were these two giant wolves driven out of their pack?

No, I need to figure out how to find food. I saw those two wolves on the ground that had been skinned. Before I go out to find food, I need to make myself some clothes.

Although I am not afraid of the cold air outside, and I am also incredibly strong, and I have a great sword that can cut through iron like mud, if I encounter a wild beast, the wolf skin can protect me from the damage and will not directly hit my flesh, just like a bulletproof vest!

Let's get right to it and get started.

If there is no thread, use the scraps cut from the wolf skin, and then cut them into thin strips with a big sword to use as thread. If there is no needle, use the big sword to poke small holes in the places where sewing is needed so that the wolf skin thread can pass through!

After a flurry of activity and countless hours of effort, a one-piece fur coat with side drawstrings was finally completed.

To show off my needlework skills, I even sewed a hat that was part of the outfit!

Although it's a bit rough and the water makes it a bit like a diaper, it's good at covering up.

Although I'm not afraid of the cold, not a single gust of wind blew through my wolfskin coat.

The only downside is that the clothes are a bit stiff, but we don't have the technology to soften leather jackets!

Okay, make it tough, make it tough, just wear it out.

After trying it on for a while, Zhu Chongjiu found that, he didn't know if it was because his skin had hardened or what, but he could feel the hardness, but he couldn't feel the pain of his skin rubbing against a hard object!

Zhu Chongjiu was wearing a self-made fur coat and holding a large sword.

I practiced a set of Mad Demon Sword Techniques, it was alright, not too much of a hindrance, and still quite agile. Now that I'm not hungry and my mind is clear, let's go!

We acted immediately, fully armed and confident!

However, Zhu Chongjiu dared not go too far. He wasn't afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that if he went too far, he wouldn't be able to find his way back. This cave was his base camp, and he wasn't ready to relocate yet.

Zhu Chongjiu thought to himself, "I've never seen the sun in this place, only that big moon. When there's no moon, the sky is dark and snow is falling all the time. When there's no moon, it's usually a blizzard. Today is alright, the sun is high up, and although the moon hasn't come out, the wind and snow aren't too heavy."

Before leaving, Zhu Chongjiu used his great sword to drive the fireball to the cave exit.

Because this way you can see the light, just like a lighthouse.

Zhu Chongjiu coaxed Huotuan like a child, giving her instructions for a long time: "Little Tuantuan, be good, don't move before I come back, shine the light for your brother, otherwise your brother won't be able to find his way home. My little Huotuan is the best, and he's good-looking, with thick eyebrows and big eyes." He praised her for everything, whether it was important or not.

They were afraid that the mysterious ball of fire might enter the cave on its own or disappear without a trace.

After all, this place was completely unfamiliar and unknown to Zhu Chongjiu.

As soon as Zhu Chongjiu stepped out of the cave, the giant wolf pack, more than ten kilometers away, all looked up at Zhu Chongjiu's location, and then turned back to look at their wolf king!

The wolf king has been feeling incredibly frustrated these past few days.

Damn it! Ever since its two henchmen were killed, the wolf king had discovered it. It was thinking of immediately leading the pack to take revenge and see who had the audacity to not know that this was the Black Wolf King's territory.

However, it clearly sensed a hint of danger.

Although wolves are known for their vengeful nature, this wolf king clearly possessed intelligence.

I don't want to take risks for two of my men. If he's just a nobody, I'll let him leave quickly so everyone can live in peace!

However, this dragon that crossed the river hasn't left yet, its aura appearing and disappearing intermittently. In its own territory, this is clearly a provocative act in the beast realm.

Especially after the recent deaths of two of their underlings, the other wolves in the pack have also sensed it.

Then they discovered that the eldest wolf king had no intention of seeking revenge at all.

This had already made the wolf pack below resentful, and then this creature continued to provoke them in its own territory!

Scholars can bear it, what can't bear it.

After the wolf king let out a few more low howls, six giant wolves emerged from the pack and headed towards Zhu Chongjiu's direction.

This time, the wolf king stared intently at the direction the six giant wolves had set off, waiting to see if his six underlings could take down this unknown creature that seemed to be posing a danger.

There was another reason why the wolf king didn't personally lead the main force along: it was guarding something and dared not leave easily!

At that moment, thirty kilometers away from the wolf pack, a giant creature twice the size of the wolf king was watching the pack intently.

Otherwise, even if there is danger, a wolf would still go and confront this unknown creature that is causing trouble in its territory.

Just as the six giant wolves approached Zhu Chongjiu, he simply circled around within a kilometer radius of his cave entrance.

Firstly, I was afraid of getting lost and not being able to find my way back, and this distance was just right so that I could vaguely see the light at the cave entrance.

Secondly, Zhu Chongjiu knew that if there were any carnivores nearby, they would definitely be able to smell his scent and come looking for him!

Just as Zhu Chongjiu was turning the second lap, his ears twitched. He heard footsteps, and upon closer listening, he realized there were at least five four-legged creatures.

Haha! They've taken the bait.

Zhu Chongjiu jogged back towards the cave entrance, while the six giant wolves, which had been cautiously moving in his direction, continued their journey.

Although they couldn't see it, they could smell that the creature wasn't too far away.

Wolves are very intelligent animals; fearing to alert the enemy, they did not run away.

However, upon discovering that their prey was moving rapidly, the six giant wolves also changed from moving slowly to running at full speed.

As Zhu Chongjiu ran to the cave entrance, he heard something following him from about a kilometer away.

When Zhu Chongjiu turned around, he could vaguely see six giant wolves running towards him.

At this moment, Zhu Chongjiu checked the distance to the cave entrance and started walking briskly instead of jogging.

When Zhu Chongjiu reached the cave entrance, the giant wolf was only a hundred or two hundred meters away from him.

Zhu Chongjiu stood outside the barrier at the cave entrance, holding a large sword in his hand. Two giant wolves ran to within about fifty meters of Zhu Chongjiu and pounced on him with a burst of speed!

Zhu Chongjiu took a step back, retreating into the barrier. Then, he swung his sword horizontally upwards and diagonally, and the heads of the two giant wolves fell off.

The giant wolf slammed its body directly onto the barrier, spraying blood all over it.

Zhu Chongjiu was startled. Luckily, there was a barrier, otherwise he would have been covered in blood.

I'll have to be careful next time. It's not easy to wash this fur coat if it gets dirty, especially since I don't have any water. I'm saving the water in the cave to drink, and besides, I don't have a basin or anything.

After the two giant wolves' heads and bodies separated, the remaining four giant wolves did not escape. Instead, they became more ferocious and lay on the barrier, scratching and biting.

Zhu Chongjiu, using the same method as before, dealt with the remaining four giant wolves.

"Hahaha...!" Zhu Chongjiu laughed loudly, "This should be enough for me to eat for a few days!"

Without further ado, they skinned and butchered the wolves right outside the cave entrance. They skinned the wolves whole, not wanting to damage them, because they wouldn't have a penny left when they got out. These wolf pelts should be able to be sold for money.

No matter where you go, having money in your pocket keeps you calm; even a hero can be brought down by a penny!

These giant wolves show that this world is also a world of carbon-based life forms.

It's just that the carbon-based life forms in this world might be many times stronger than those on Earth.

Looking up at the sky, of course, the environment has deteriorated several times over.

Never mind, let's explore slowly. I just wonder how things are at home, sigh!

After everything settled down, Zhu Chongjiu realized that his hearing was really amazing. In this snowy weather, the sound of the giant wolf's footsteps could be heard from at least two or three kilometers away. And those were footsteps, not howls!

My eyesight is incredible; even in a completely white blur, I can still see a giant, silvery-white wolf a kilometer away.

Needless to say, my strength and reaction speed are also exceptional. When I watched the giant wolves pounce on me just now, it was like watching a slow-motion video. I felt that even without the barrier, I could easily handle these six giant wolves from the outside.

No, I want to take on ten! Hahaha…!

As Zhu Chongjiu peeled off the wolf skin, he muttered and shouted to himself with smug satisfaction.
