sleep with wolves

A month later, relying on its own self-healing ability and Feloy's self-made wound medicine, the dire wolf's injury has been healed.Although today's temperature has dropped below zero degrees Celsius, and the ground is covered with snow, it is not suitable for outdoor activities, but in this jungle, it is difficult for Feloy to find prey. If he does not continue to move south, he and his It is difficult for Mr. Wolf to survive in this strange place.Therefore, after confirming that the dire wolf can walk normally, one person and one wolf started their journey to the south again.

When they came here from the original forest, it was just winter, but now it has begun to enter the severe cold. Feloy and the dire wolf climbed out of the cliff and came to the outside world. The whole forest seemed to be covered in white. The ground was covered with thick snow, the dead branches were covered with fallen snow, and the sky was sprinkled with layers of white snow, covering their sight completely. In the jungle, except for the sound of falling snow and the sound of their walking. Chi-chi-chi, they could no longer hear other sounds, let alone see animal activity.The animals in this jungle either stored enough food and hid in their caves for the winter, or left here with the team that migrated south.

On the way out of the jungle, they did not encounter any predators, nor did they encounter any prey.

After walking out of the jungle, what they saw was a vast plain that could not be seen at a glance. Feloy guessed that they could walk on this plain for several days. He and Mr. Wolf were not alone. In front of us, a group of antelopes were trying their best to scrape through the snow to find the moss buried under it.

One person and one wolf all had their eyes lit up, wishing they could eat them all in their mouths, since they hadn't eaten anything since the last piece of rabbit meat was eaten into Feloy's stomach yesterday morning.

Like other predators, wherever the dire wolf goes, it will cause panic among the herbivores. Before the dire wolf gets close to the herd of antelopes, the antelopes recognize the scent of the dire wolf and flee in panic.

In this harsh climate, the heavy snow blocks the sight, and the snow blocks the footsteps. No matter how sophisticated the tools Feloy carries are, they are not very useful for capturing these large animals, so it is rare that he did not participate in the hunting. Instead, he stepped back and watched the dire wolf hunt.

The wound on the dire wolf has not healed. After rushing into the flock, it only attacked the thin antelope. It didn't take long for it to capture an immature antelope, and the rest of the flock left behind. The antelope then fled without a trace.

After capturing the antelope, Feloy and the Dire Wolf watched around vigilantly, and found that there were no other predators nearby. Although the vultures circling above their heads were quite a group of opponents, they didn't seem to dare to attack the threat yet. The wolf provokes.So Feloy and the Dire Wolf dragged the antelope to a mound surrounded by wind.

The dire wolf was really hungry. As soon as it put the antelope down, it couldn't wait to tear off the antelope's legs, dragged it aside and began to chew.Feloy, who is not used to eating raw meat, endured hunger, pulled out a large pile of hay from under the snow, and took out two pieces that he brought from the cave where he and Mr. Wolf once lived, which was easier. The fire stones rubbed against each other.

After a while, flames ignited on the haystack, and Feloy ordered the dire wolf to remove the meat from the antelope and take it to the haystack to roast.After Feloy shared half of the antelope with the dire wolf, he asked the dire wolf to tear the remaining half of the antelope into pieces, and then put it into a bag he sewed with animal skins.In this heavy bag, he also packed wound medicine, fire stones and two bamboo traps.

After finishing all this, Feloy stuffed snow into his mouth to quench his thirst. The chill pierced his heart. He really regretted why he didn't bring a bamboo pot for storing water, otherwise he could put the snow in the bamboo pot, and then After heating it on the fire, he can drink hot water.However, after thinking about it, he had already brought too many things when he came out, and it would be even more cumbersome if he brought the bamboo pot.

Thinking about it this way, he realized that it was really inconvenient for him to carry so many things and walk in this harsh environment, so he wondered if he should throw away some unnecessary things so that he could go with Mr. Wolf be quicker.

After throwing away some cumbersome things, he and Mr. Wolf walked much more easily. After walking for more than a day, they caught up with the last group of southward migration teams this winter.

There were quite a few animals in the company, but in this bad weather, before they got close to their prey, their partners had already run away.Moreover, the harsher the environment, the more united each group will be, and even animals of different races will walk together. When one of them gets food, it will generously distribute it to its companions; resist.At the same time, they clearly understand that leaving the team will not only face the risk of being targeted by predators, but also make them lose their way. Therefore, no animals are left alone.

In the next few days, Feloy and the dire wolf did not catch any prey again. If they hadn't had the antelope meat saved earlier to satisfy their hunger, they might have died of hunger and cold.

This is the tenth day they have been walking on the plains. They have been out of food for two days. Feloy is too hungry to walk. He can only rely on a dead branch picked up on the way to support his body and move forward with difficulty. Originally seriously injured and unhealed, his body became weaker due to hunger. The situation of one person and one wolf is not optimistic.

The vultures hovering in the sky began to watch them, waiting for them to fall so that they could feast.

Taking a breath into his hands that were purple from the cold, Feloy said bitterly: "Huha—do you think we can reach the south, Mr. Wolf?" This is not so much a question of Dire Wolf, but rather a asked himself.

With everything in front of him blocked by wind and snow, he couldn't see the way ahead at all. He didn't know when such a difficult road would come to an end.

Sensing the bewilderment in his heart, the Dire Wolf put its furry head in front of him and rubbed his cheek to comfort him.

After being rubbed by the Dire Wolf like this, Feloy really felt much better.

He took a long breath, rubbed the neck of the dire wolf, cheered up, and said with a smile: "Anyway, I have you by my side, so I won't be lonely."

There is no limit to the road, when they climbed a hillside, the raging wind stopped, the downpour of snow lightened, and they saw a green birch forest from a distance .

Green trees and grass, as well as giant groundhogs running through it, Feloy and Dire Wolf all had green eyes, and the corners of their mouths almost drooled.

In the birch forest, Feloy and Dire Wolf had a hearty meal, and they were not in a hurry to go on their way. They planned to catch a few more groundhogs here to store food, and then recharged their batteries here before setting off tomorrow morning.

If they are lucky, they may catch a few large herbivores such as horned deer and antelope here.

While looking for prey in the birch forest, Feloy accidentally found a weed with a fruit the size of a fist. Out of curiosity, he took off the fruit and put it in his arms, intending to go back and study it.
