When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

While Zhu Chongjiu was preparing the wolf skins and cutting up the wolf meat, the wolf pack more than ten kilometers away was in an uproar.

They clearly sensed that all six of their brethren who had gone out on this mission had heroically sacrificed themselves.

The wolf king raised its head and howled to the sky, and the remaining twenty-odd giant wolves followed suit, raising their heads and howling in sorrow.

The giant creature further away was suddenly awakened, stood up, and looked in the direction of the wolf king.

The inner monologue of a giant creature: Are you sick? What are you doing?

The baby is screaming and howling like a banshee! Can't the baby sleep?!

Scare the baby.

Baby thinks the Wolf King is coming with his minions to kill us!

By the time they reached Zhu Chongjiu's side, they had already entered the cave and could no longer hear the wolves' furious howls.

Zhu Chongjiu hummed a little tune; "I'll see you off to the edge of the village, but don't pick the wildflowers by the roadside. Hey, if you don't pick them, you're wasting your time. Hey, who wouldn't pick them if they're free?!"

That's enough for me to eat at sunset for several months.

These past few days, Zhu Chongjiu had nothing to do, and through observing the rising and setting of the moon, he discovered a pattern.

They are basically on the same timeline. Although we don't know how long the moon rises and sets in a month, we will tentatively define the moon rises and sets in a month as the moon sets in a month.

Based on Zhu Chongjiu's current appetite, he could eat a giant wolf in about two months.

After Zhu Chongjiu skinned the giant wolf and divided up the meat, he was dumbfounded. Where was he going to put all that meat?

If they're all piled up in the cave, the smell of blood won't do.

Let it outside? What if other animals eat it?

That's not enough. Not only is there no giant wolf meat, but there's also nowhere to put the six giant wolf pelts.

The freshly plucked giant wolf pelt still carried some blood and flesh, and had a fishy smell. Of the two pelts from before, one was used to make clothes, and the other was used to make a mattress.

Zhu Chongjiu studied it for a long time, sigh! I'm so stupid.

I'll just roast the giant wolf meat until it's dry and make it into jerky, then I'll just roast the giant wolf skin dry too, and use it as a soft mattress to lie on!

Let's get started!

While Zhu Chongjiu was busy at work, the wolf pack howled and vented their anger. Then, all the giant wolves gazed at their wolf king with longing eyes.

The wolf king raised its massive body, looked down at a small white flower emitting a soft white light on its belly, and finally lay down, growling a few times.

After the wolf king finished his growl, a giant silver-white wolf, the largest in the pack, appeared, its size only a third smaller than the wolf king.

The giant silver wolf stood in front of the wolf king, letting out a low growl of dissatisfaction.

Moreover, this silver giant wolf was followed by eight or nine ordinary silver-white giant wolves!

The wolf king stood up, and suddenly his aura increased dramatically.

It bit the neck of the lead giant wolf, and with a flick of its head, flung the lead giant wolf twenty or thirty meters away. The silver giant wolf that fell to the ground and could not get up was now slowly bleeding from its neck.

At this moment, all the giant wolves looked this way. The lead silver-white giant wolf slowly stood up, whimpering mournfully. It walked to the wolf king, slowly knelt down on its front legs, and pressed its head against the snow.

The wolf king lowered its head, looking fiercely at the giant wolf kneeling before it. It howled twice, then cautiously lay down on the spot. The lead giant wolf stood up and slowly retreated.

Zhu Chongjiu, enduring his hunger, roasted all the giant wolf meat until it was about 70% cooked.

Why not bake it fully cooked, or until it's dry?

That would take too much time, and Zhu Chongjiu was already starving!

After the giant wolf meat was roasted and the last wolf skin was almost done, Zhu Chongjiu hurriedly picked up a piece of giant wolf meat that was still warm and began to eat it heartily.

Because the giant wolf meat was cut into roughly the same size pieces, and Zhu Chongjiu ate so much of it, it's unclear how much he ate, but he was so full that he could barely stand up.

In no time, I climbed to the edge of the pool and drank the water. After that, my eyelids started to droop again. With my mind hazy and my body feeling warm and comfortable, I fell into a deep sleep!

Eight months passed in this way, and as the giant wolf meat dwindled, Zhu Chongjiu thought to himself that he still had to go out and find food!

In addition, Zhu Chongjiu felt that his strength and reaction speed had increased again in the past few days.

Zhu Chongjiu wasn't stupid; he knew that the giant wolf meat and the pool water must have the effect of cleansing the marrow and strengthening the tendons, thus enhancing his physique.

Zhu Chongjiu thought to himself, "The pool has already been submerged by more than half. Even if I get more food, it won't help when the water runs out. The snow outside can melt into water, but unfortunately I don't have a container."

I estimate I drink half a bucket of water in one meal, which would require a lot of snow. I can't possibly finish my meal and then go outside to eat snow!

No, I have to find a way to leave here. It's time to leave!

I've been here for almost thirty months now, and if I stay here, I'll never find my way home.

Zhu Chongjiu got up, put on the fur coat he had made for himself, picked up his great sword, and left the cave.

While keeping an eye on whether giant wolves or other animals might fall, they also wanted to find a way out.

Since we're completely clueless and stuck in the cave, we can't rely on anyone to find us, and we can't put our hopes on anyone else.

As Zhu Chongjiu walked further into the distance, he admired the wondrous beauty of this world!

Zhu Chongjiu came out just as the moon rose. Looking up at the sky, he saw a few snowflakes occasionally drifting down, and the bright moon hanging in the sky. It was truly beautiful!

If there were tourist attractions with scenery like this in China, they would be packed with tourists every day!

Just as Zhu Chongjiu was admiring the beautiful scenery and looking around for a way out, a wolf howl broke the silence, followed by a series of wolf howls.

Zhu Chongjiu was taken aback. "Hey! What's going on?"

Never mind, let's go! Let's go take a look.

Judging from the sound, it was only about ten kilometers away. Zhu Chongjiu glanced at the sky and his feet and said, "It's not snowing now. I'll just leave some deep footprints as markers on the way back!"

As he thought about it, Zhu Chongjiu jogged toward the direction of the wolf howling.

On the giant wolf's side, the small white flower under the wolf king's belly was now shining even brighter.

The ferocious beast that was further away from the giant wolf pack appeared less than a kilometer away.

The pack of giant wolves and the giant beast gazed at each other from afar. Suddenly, the wolf king and the giant beast both looked in the direction of Zhu Chongjiu.

Neither the wolf pack nor the giant beast made a move. Although they were beasts, they clearly possessed intelligence and were aware of the threat posed by Zhu Chongjiu.

Moreover, in the Wolf King's perception, Zhu Chongjiu's threat was many times more serious than when he first sensed it.

The two groups of ferocious beasts also understood the principle of the rivalry between the snipe and the tyrant.

Just as the wolf king and the giant beast were gazing at each other from afar, Zhu Chongjiu also came within about a kilometer of them.

"Holy crap; what is this?" Zhu Chongjiu thought to himself!

From a distance, Zhu Chongjiu saw something that looked like a small mountain.

As they drew closer, Zhu Chongjiu could see clearly.

That's a polar bear. Even with all four paws on the ground, it's three or four meters tall. If it stood up, it would be as tall as a three or four-story building!

Although Zhu Chongjiu was shocked, he was not afraid.

At this moment, Zhu Chongjiu truly felt that this giant polar bear posed no threat to his life.

Um…?

What is that? After observing the giant polar bear, Zhu Chongjiu began to observe the wolf king.

The wolf was as big as an adult ox, and judging from its position in the pack and the attitude of the other giant wolves, it was clearly the wolf king.

But why is it black? The others are silver-white and silver-gray. Has it mutated?

What surprised Zhu Chongjiu even more was that there was a small white flower, about the size of a palm, on the lower part of the wolf king's belly, which was now emitting a bright light.

If this flower didn't emit light, I really wouldn't be able to see it from this distance!

Zhu Chongjiu sniffed the air and could smell a faint floral fragrance mixed with the bloody scent of the ferocious beast.

"This is a treasure," Zhu Chongjiu thought to himself. "It seems this polar bear came for the flower, while the wolf king is guarding it."

I said I'd already eaten eight wolves, but the wolf king hadn't led the pack to kill me. Turns out they were guarding the things and keeping an eye on this polar bear.

Zhu Chongjiu tossed the great sword in his hand, feeling a mixture of excitement and impulsiveness.

I want to go!

However, Zhu Chongjiu told himself, "Stay calm, what should I do?"

Eating wolf meat has caused some side effects; my brain is acting like a brave warrior!

All three parties stood still for more than ten minutes. Zhu Chongjiu sensed that the polar bear was becoming noticeably agitated.

The little flower on the wolf king's belly was also noticeably brighter than before!

"Oh!" Zhu Chongjiu thought to himself, "I understand now, the flower is about to ripen."

No, I need to add fuel to the fire and make them both die, then I'll be safer.

Although I'm not afraid now, and my mind is already racing with the idea of ​​taking on two opponents at once, we're not locals. Even if we're outsiders, we have to play it safe.

As history has witnessed, countless powerful outlaws have perished at the hands of their own arrogance and overconfidence!

As Zhu Chongjiu pondered in silence, he clearly sensed that the flower was reaching its limit.

The polar bear slowly began to move forward, and the wolf king began to howl, commanding the giant wolf army to slowly advance and block the wolf king's sides.

Looking at the current situation, Zhu Chongjiu suddenly thought of the phrases "a bird startled by the twang of a bow" and "a single hair can move the whole body," and then he picked up his greatsword and charged towards the pack of giant wolves.

Seeing Zhu Chongjiu charge forward, the polar bear quickly mobilized its four hooves and charged forward as well!

Seeing that both sides were charging towards him, the wolf king quickly growled repeatedly, ordering the pack to tighten their formation and regroup!

Zhu Chongjiu ran like the wind for the first two or three hundred meters, then slowed down and ran another two or three hundred meters towards the Wolf King before turning back!

It's not that they can't run anymore, nor that they're afraid, because the polar bear has already connected with the wolf pack.

After Zhu Chongjiu finished his matchmaking work, he ran back to where he had been standing to watch the play!

Animals are animals, even if they gain intelligence, they are still animals. Such a small trick was enough to solve the problem.

Zhu Chongjiu thought to himself, but his eyes remained fixed on the battle ahead.

The wolf pack consists of nearly thirty giant wolves. Despite the large number, polar bears are quite large.

In the animal kingdom, the larger the animal, the stronger its fighting ability—that's undeniable, except for me, the honey badger!

Seeing that its little brother couldn't do any serious damage to the polar bear, the wolf king finally left the little white flower that now looked like a 100-degree light bulb and joined the battle!

This battle was absolutely thrilling, and its intensity was beyond imagination!

The enormous polar bear was awe-inspiring; with each swing of its paw, it accurately struck a giant wolf, sending it flying a great distance.

However, these giant wolves are no ordinary creatures. They work in close coordination, and once one of their companions falls, another giant wolf will quickly take its place and continue to launch a fierce attack on the polar bear.

Although the polar bear is incredibly brave, it was ultimately outnumbered and gradually accumulated many wounds on its body.
