Jungle Throne

In the primeval forest that covers the sky and the sun, there are strange giant trees that have never been seen everywhere.The secluded space was so quiet that there was no sound. Only the rustling sound of Gao Zhige stepping on the thick leaves and the rotten breath in her nostrils could make her feel that the scene in front of her was real and not an illusion.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, she suddenly heard the faint sound of a stream flowing not far ahead, she couldn't help but subconsciously licked her dry, white lips, and followed the sound at a faster pace.

She heard the sound of the water flowing louder and louder, and after a while, her vision suddenly widened, and a stream appeared in front of her eyes—she subconsciously wanted to rush over, but her previous field experience made her stop.

She vigilantly looked around and into the water, and after making sure that there were no other dangerous creatures, she gradually breathed a sigh of relief, and slid down slowly, not caring that her clothes were covered with wet mud, put down her backpack, and put the last thing in the kettle After pouring a few drops into your mouth, fill it up.

Although most of the virgin forests are pure natural and have not been invaded or polluted by humans, and the water looks clean, it is actually polluted by animal feces, or there are animal corpses that have rotted in it. maybe.

Gao Zhige didn't dare to just drink it like this. She left the stream, found an open space nearby, and used the fallen and broken branches to scrape aside all the broken branches and leaves on the ground, and didn't stop until the soil inside was exposed.

This is to prevent some snakes, rats, etc. from hiding in the thick leaves and threatening people.

She went back to the stream and picked up a few stones to form a small circle, then collected dead branches and leaves and piled them in a pile, then took out a flint and knife from her backpack, rubbed the two together to generate sparks, and started a fire.

After the fire was ignited, it was getting hotter and hotter, and she started to untie the camouflage protective coat on the outside of the kettle, remove the aluminum lunch box on the inner tank, and then pour all the water in the inner tank, Put it on the fire to boil the water inside.

This kettle, which looks a bit like a military kettle and comes with a lunch box, was found on the Internet. The reason why she bought it at the beginning was because it had a lunch box that could be put on the fire.This lunch box is about the same size as the inner tank of a kettle. It is used to hold the inner tank when it is not used, and then the two are wrapped together with a protective coat.

Listening to the bubbling sound of the water in the lunch box, Gao Zhige knew that the water would boil in a short time, so he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and began to sort out the whole process from when she found herself suddenly appearing in the virgin forest to now.

She, Gao Zhige, 25 years old, was originally a mountaineering enthusiast. Not long ago, she successfully climbed Banji Peak with a group of like-minded people, but an accident happened on the way back.

This accident was not a death or something, but something inexplicable. When she was resting in the tent, she woke up and found that her companion had disappeared, and she was in a virgin forest.

Her first reaction was that she had encountered some supernatural event.This is not casual, this is what she knew shortly after she first joined the Mountaineer Association.One of her seniors told her that a climber disappeared suddenly while climbing a mountain decades ago. At that time, no one could be found. Then he reappeared by himself, originally a young man, but when he appeared, his hair was all white and his face had many old age wrinkles.He was discovered by local indigenous people in another country, and he was sent to the hospital for a whole year before he recovered.No one knows what happened during the six months he disappeared.

When the senior told this story, his expressions were very complicated. At that time, they had just climbed to the top of the mountain, and the other party was looking into the distance, not knowing what they were looking at.Gao Zhige clearly remembered that it was the last time the other party climbed the mountain, and the other party gave her something he brought with him, saying that it was for her as a souvenir, and by the way, he would take his share to climb the mountain in the future.

That thing seemed to be the claw of a certain animal, the surface was well polished by the other party, and Gao Zhige couldn't put it down from the first sight.The senior was a very famous climber, and he was also a very good teacher to her, so she was a little sad that the other party left.Afterwards, even in normal life, she would keep the paw on her body very well and never leave her body.

However, as luck would have it, there was an accident on the next mountaineering trip.

When she discovered that she encountered a supernatural event, she couldn't immediately recall the story that her predecessor told her, but her mind went blank for a moment, and she didn't know what to do next.And even if she thought about it, it was useless, she would still be at a loss, she would still hug her hiking bag tightly, hold the knife and keep huddling in the corner of the tent, with the tip of the knife facing the outside, while chanting "Namo Amitabha Buddha" in her heart. ", while desperately suppressing the fear and panic in my heart.

Later, after an unknown amount of time, the ground suddenly shook violently, as if it had been an earthquake. Before she could escape from the tent in time, the tent collapsed to one side as if it had been stepped on by something.

With a high degree of nervous tension and extreme fear, she only felt that her eyes suddenly went dark, and the sounds of various beast roars came from her ears, and then she passed out.

Woke up this morning to find myself in a beast's den.Thinking of the roars he heard before he fainted, Gao Zhige suspected that some wild beast had picked him up, and turned pale with fright again, and found his mountaineering bag and escaped quickly while the other party was out looking for food.

She ran for almost a whole day, not daring to stop even if she was exhausted and out of breath, for fear that the beast would catch up.In addition, the temperature in the forest was much higher than outside, she was sweating non-stop, and she ran out of water before running far, and almost drank all the water in the kettle, and finally, at the end, she was about to Fortunately, I found a small stream when I couldn't live.

Dozens of hours of high nervous tension made her exhausted, unable to panic anymore, and gradually calmed down.Now, her main concern is how to survive.

After seeing that the time seemed to be about the same, Gao Zhige put all the fire aside, then covered the hot surface with a protective coat, and carefully took out the lunch box.

At this time, the water has just boiled, and the inside is still hot.Gao Zhige waited patiently for it to cool down again, then impatiently began to drink it in small sips.

It would be great if there was salt... After sweating so much, if you don't replenish the salt, you will easily become mentally fatigued and weak in limbs, which is fatal to people who get lost in the forest.

But where is the salt?Most importantly, where is she?This place looks like one of those untouched forests. Could it be that she came to the Amazon from Half Ridge?Gao Zhige thought about it, carefully examining the big tree closest to her with a very serious expression.

"can't read……"

Soon, Gao Zhige gave up, regretting that she didn't learn about all aspects of the forest, and forgot that she was actually just a half-climber, and most of the knowledge, skills and experience were taught to her by her predecessors. Shandu didn't fully understand it, and still have time to explore other fields?

Fortunately, survival skills in the wild are universal, whether you get lost in the mountains or in the forest, you can use them.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Gao Zhige poured the remaining unfinished water into the inner pot of the kettle, put the inner pot into the lunch box, put on a protective coat, carried it on her body, and then went to collect firewood—she planned to Spend the night here.

Fortunately, on the way, she saw a few wild fruits that looked like apples, but were one size smaller than apples.Although she didn't know what this kind of wild fruit was called, she saw a few that had been eaten by other animals, and thought that they should be non-toxic, so she picked off the others that hadn't been eaten by animals. Make this for dinner tonight.

Gao Zhige originally wanted to go to that stream to see if he could catch some fish or shrimp, but after thinking about it, it would be bad if it attracted wild animals, so he gave up regretfully.

However, whatever they were afraid of would come, and the result still attracted the "beast".

Several men with only an animal skin skirt around their waists surrounded her from four different directions.

Wolf ears, wolf eyes, wolf tail...

"Are these people playing some kind of cosplay?" This was what Gao Zhige thought when he saw each other for the first time.

"It's over!" Then she realized that this was not a cosplay at all, who would appear in the forest so bored in the middle of the night?Looking at the obvious greedy gazes in the eyes of several people, as if they were going to tear her away and eat her, she must have encountered a group of cannibalistic natives, right?

"Who are you, you..." She tremblingly wanted to ask who the other party was, but her heart collapsed: why did her legs go weak at this time?stand up stand up stand up...

At this time, a beast's roar suddenly sounded in the darkness not far away, drowning her voice.Those wolf-like men immediately clenched their weapons vigilantly and looked over there.Under the reflection of the fire, the shadow of a huge beast flashed across the ground, and quickly wrestled with those men.

Gao Zhige regained her strength somehow, stood up "crazy", turned around and fled with all her strength.Although he was still carrying a hiking bag and was not fast, he gradually fled the scene.

No matter how many years have passed afterwards, whenever she thinks of this night, she always has lingering fears. If she hadn’t had a halo of luck, she might have died that night long ago—she couldn’t see her feet and the road ahead in the darkness , but she didn't step on anything or hit a tree, as if she was destined to escape, she escaped smoothly all the way, until it was daylight when she slipped and fell into the ravine because of exhaustion. Knocked to the head and broke the leg, just some skin trauma.

On the contrary, the surface of the claw she carried with her has become a little bumpy and not as smooth as before.
