Survival In the World of Beasts

Chapter 45: Safe haven

After returning to the black bear's corpse, one person and one tiger quickly accelerated their actions after discussing and judging the speed of the Tyrannosaurus crossing the river.

Judging from the number of animals on the shore, the tyrannosaurus probably wanted to drive down all the animals that could be driven off, and follow the rhythm of crossing the river at the end.

After all, even with the fighting power of Tyrannosaurus rex, it would be enough to face so many terrible killers in the water. It is certainly safer to let them have a meal and finally cross the river.

Just like the brachiosaurus that crossed the river last time, the full water overlord seemed to have no interest in them at all.

Therefore, the Tyrannosaurus plan is still highly executable. So, based on the time when the brachiosaurus crossed the river last time, the Tyrannosaurus will probably arrive this evening or even earlier.

There is not much time left for them to prepare.

Logically speaking, a full-fed Tyrannosaurus would not take the effort to attack them. It's a pity that they, who had already offended the mother dragon to death last time, estimated that 100% of them would provoke revenge. It was really a **** lesson to kill a dragon but get bitten by a dragon.

So their biggest problem tonight is to find a safe haven.

After the white tiger sniffed the black bear, he whispered to Li Shizhen and turned his head and left.

Li Shizhen saw that there was a door, and immediately nodded and wiped some blue Lingguo on Baihu, which made it limping away first.

It is only slightly inconvenient to move now, and the ability to judge the surrounding danger is still there, and since there is already a beast like a black bear around, according to the characteristics of the predator's territory, there should be no more large carnivores, plus Blue Lingguo's occlusion nature, so Li Shizhao was not particularly worried about letting it act alone.

Li Shizhao himself began to get busy around him. The various things he had prepared before and the extra materials had not had time to be transported to the brachiosaurus back. Thanks to his cautious blessing, he has been worried about falling behind. He and Baihu’s backpacks There are still a lot of materials in it, and he can just sort it out and think about how to allocate and use it reasonably.

There are still a lot of tree trunks left for making shields on the ground, and part of the digestive juice of Nepenthes is used to process the shields, and the rest is just taken with him for self-defense.

It's best to pack these things and take them away.

When Baihu turned back again, he saw a familiar small trailer that made it want to cover his face, but this time the car was a lot smaller and the supplies were not as large as before, but there was a familiar black on the ground next to the trailer. Big guy and a big bamboo bucket.

It seems that this female is not going to let this black bear go.

Li Shizhao just packed all the things, even the blood of the black bear let him put it clean. He covered the car and himself with blue water chestnuts so as not to be tracked by the predators by the smell of blood. He saw that he came back. Baihu, he put on the trailer and let Baihu lead the way.

Seeing the remaining supplies on the ground, Bai Hu understood that Li Shizhao had fully considered his own strength and prepared to take them away in two batches.

Bai Hu arched him and motioned to him to tow the car. Li Shizhao didn't let it go. Its paw was hurting. The sooner they get better, the sooner they can be safe. It's too costly.

Bai Hu didn't move and arched him again. For the first time, Li Shizhao realized that this guy was so stubborn. He pointed to Bai Hu's left paw, meaning that he didn't want it to hurt.

Bai Hu raised his paw abruptly, indicating that it didn't matter.

Li Shizhao thought for a while, but decided to drag him away first, and Bai Hu followed behind. As a result, he pulled it, but didn't pull it, and he almost fell down. Bai Hu actually sat down on the trailer.

Bai Hu got up and arched him again. Li Shizhao originally wanted to pull it up in two separate steps, but Bai Hu repeatedly insisted that he put everything in one go. It dragged the black bear's body onto the car.

Bai Hu's persistence also made sense, after all, the sooner he could leave, the better, so that they would also have more time to arrange.

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Bai Hu put on the car and dragged it a few times. Although it was a bit swaying, its strength was much larger than that of Li Shizhao, and it was not comparable to Li Shizhao's speed.

Li Shizhu held his forehead, it seemed that his strength was completely despised by the disabled.

In desperation, he had to find a piece of animal skin to hang its claws. The injured part seemed to be equivalent to the position of the ankle. What Li Zhizhu lifted up to it was the upper part, so even if it was not careful. I won't touch the wound anymore.

Bai Hu lowered his head and nudged Li Zhizheng, then put on the car and walked towards a corner of the woods.

Li Shizhao put some things he could carry on his back, pushing and pulling from time to time. There were indeed a lot of things. In addition, the corpse of the **** bear was also very heavy, making it difficult for one person and one tiger to walk fast.

Li Shizhao looked at the unstable figure of the white tiger in front of him, and felt guilty in his heart. If he wasn't strong enough, he wouldn't want the white tiger to pull so many things with injuries.

One person, one tiger, after running profusely for a while, finally reached a small hill.

This is not so much a small hill, as it is a small dirt bag.

There is a circle of tall trees around the small soil bag, and only a dense, barbed shrub grows on the small soil bag.

Under the cover of the surrounding woods and shrubs, this place is very quiet and hidden. If Bai Hu hadn't found this place by smell, even if he stood close to him, it would have been impossible for Li Shizun to find another mystery under the dirt.

The dense bushes still have small yellow flowers, which are very fresh and tender in the sun, quite a bit of vitality, which is really a rare sight on the semi-arid grassland.

Beside the bushes in the south, there is a huge one-person-high stone. Under the cover of the bushes and stones, there is a dark entrance nearly two meters away. It seems that this is the old nest of the black blind man.

Not even a small animal can be found nearby. It can be seen that this black bear has indeed been entrenched here for a long time, and its reputation is spreading far. But I don't know why it did not go out for activities a few days ago, so the white tiger and it did not encounter it in advance.

In such a hidden place, it is impossible for the white tiger to spot the black bear at once, so it can only be said that everything is time and fate. They happened to have such an encounter on the day when the tyrannosaurus was about to cross the river.

One person and one tiger stood in front of the cave and started unloading. The white tiger had already checked the cave in advance. There were no other creatures in it, so it should be safe.

Li Shizhao clicked on a branch that was used to start the fire, and followed Baihu into the cave. At the entrance of the cave, you can clearly see all kinds of messy palm prints and paw prints. From the perspective of size and shape, there are indeed only This black bear lives.

With the white tiger's figure, there is only a slight margin for entering this cave. It can be seen that if the **** bear comes, it is estimated that it will be able to enter.

What Li Shixun did not expect was that this mud-structured cave passage turned down after making a bend inside. The inside was so wet and wide that it was nearly ten square meters in size.

The inside of the cave is not a mud structure from the outside, but rather rugged stone structures. The cave is an irregular shape with low periphery and high middle.

This is by no means the black bear digging it by himself. It seems that there is such a large space inside. The original cave of the black bear is the tunnel of the soil structure that was dug outside by itself. I don’t know how it was discovered that there was something more inside. For the big stone room, it dug the entrance a little bigger, connecting it to the outside.

Li Shizhao looked at this place carefully. There was a very smooth arched structure on the top of the cave. There were a lot of folds only near the cave wall, which just left enough space in the middle, and he was breathing the air here. It was full of the fishy fishy peculiar to animal caves, and Bai Hu had sneezed several times in succession, but there was no feeling of suffocation.

With this condition, Li Shizhao believed that there was definitely more than one cave connected to the outside. There is at least one small ventilation hole.

The walls were a little damp, and there were even some drops of water dripping from the top of the cave. Seeing the smooth and flat structure on the top of the cave did not look like a naturally formed structure, Li Shixun couldn't help but sigh at the extraordinary craftsmanship of nature.

The ground was very messy. There were some hay and some fresh bones. It seemed that it should be the black bear's dwelling and the remains of eating leftovers. I didn't see the core or anything. It seems that this big bear is indeed a pure carnivore. There are still traces of mud and claw marks on the walls, and at the end of the cave there is a lot of rubble, large and small.

Li Shizhen couldn't help but be very satisfied with this naturally formed cave. Apart from the bad lighting, it was really a good place to live. It was safe, breathable, and strong. Almost all were available. As a place to live temporarily, Li Shizhao could not be more satisfied.

Bai Hu glanced at the paw print on the wall disgustingly, and flicked his tail. A pair of pupils reflected the green light in the darkness.

At this time, only one person, one tiger, who was only worried about the threat in front of him, didn't know that the time they stayed in this cave was much longer than imagined. This was almost one of the longest periods of their lives.

It's no wonder that the black bear can stay here for a few days. There is food and there is such a good place to live. It is he who is too lazy to go out. It is estimated that it was hungry that it went out to search for food.

He found some rubble and piled it up, and put the torch on it. If he wants to stay here for a while, lighting is a big problem. He has to study the surrounding environment.

One person and one tiger came out of the cave one after another, suddenly not adapting to the bright light outside.

Li Shizhao thought that he and the tiger would stay here for a long time. Today's main job is still a safety issue. If there is more time, it is better to arrange the inside more comfortably.

At this time, the daylight was just right, and Li Shizhao was busy moving all kinds of things into the cave, and Bai Hu also helped to pick up something or something from time to time. Especially the huge black bear corpse, almost got into the cave by pulling one inside and the other pushing outside.

After finally moving everything in, Li Shizhen was not busy cleaning up the cave. Of course, he didn't take time off. Instead, he glanced at the surrounding bushes and trees for several times, and several plans flashed in his mind in time.

Thinking of his and Bai Hu's potential enemies, he inevitably felt a little depressed. People have to pay for their youth and frivolousness so many times. At that time, he and Baihu were a little self-confident after defeating the pterosaur. After careful calculation, they felt that their plan was appropriate and the opportunity was indeed rare, so they wanted to calculate the female dragon ruthlessly.

Who knows that people are not as good as the heavens. Under all kinds of coincidences, the seemingly perfect plan falls short. Although there is a component of luck, it is not that they are too self-righteous and not cautious enough to forge such a big hatred.

Now it's time to pay for the behavior at the time, so there is nothing to complain about hiding behind your tail, just take a bite and grow your wisdom.

There is always a price to pay for human growth.

Li Shizhao didn't spend too much time entangled. He carefully observed the big stone at the entrance of the cave and decided to use this stone as their last safety protection.

He dug out a flat stone slab that he had just found in the cave, and took out a piece of prepared wood, firmly embedded the stone slab on the wooden stick, and made a simple version of the stone shovel, and found a few more. Sharpen one end of the prepared wood.

He slammed the sharp end of a piece of wood under the big rock at the entrance of the cave, and the other end was firmly supported on the cave wall, and he smashed a few times with a simple stone **** in his hand to ensure the stick He can hold the stones firmly, and he uses three of the same wooden sticks to support the big stones.

Then he excavated. After he cleaned the dirt and gravel around the stone, the whole stone was completely supported by three wooden sticks. A smooth and slightly downward **** was dug out under the stone, so that once a piece of wood was removed Great, this big rock can block a part of the hole. When all the wooden sticks are pulled out, the place where the big rock falls should be able to completely block the hole.

And if they want to open the hole, he and Bai Hu should be able to insert the sharp end of the wood under the big rock again, and use the lever to slowly open it. Although the opening process was slower, the big rock blocking the entrance of the cave at least guaranteed that no predators could come in and attack them.

This is considered to be the most important item of all safety projects. After completing it, Li Shizun also breathed a sigh of relief. The big white tiger squatting next to him seemed to understand Li Shizun's work and waved his tail.

Then he bypassed the wooden stick supported on the entrance of the hole and moved out of the hole. The white tiger behind him also dexterously turned around the wooden stick and followed out of the hole. Even if he was injured, it did not affect this guy's flexibility at all.

He looked at the surrounding environment and started digging on the ground. Anyway, the more life-saving measures, the better, and while there is still time, make more preparations.

The white tiger crouched on the side with ears erected high, and did not disturb Li Shizhen’s work. It seemed to understand the importance of this work, but it was always listening to the movement on the river bank, as long as the iconic heavy step was stepped on. On the north bank, it will immediately warn, and then with Li Shizheng immediately withdraw to the cave.

Li Shizhao dug halfway and went back to the cave and took out a lot of sharp rocks. He picked up a lot of vines from the surrounding big trees and received them into the cave. He also cut some of the surrounding bushes. Even the scarce pollen of Nepenthes has been used a lot by him.

His ding-dong digging and other preparations continued until the sun was clearly tilted to the west, basically a rough preparation, not perfect, but he did not have more tools and time.

Sure enough, he just straightened up, and Bai Hu quickly got up and snorted towards him. It seemed that the Tyrannosaurus had successfully landed ashore, which was earlier than they expected!

Without a second word, Li Shizhao collected the things and quickly withdrew back to the cave with Baihu, and took off the three wooden sticks one by one. With the heavy sliding sound, there was a dull "bang", and the big stone slammed into it firmly. At the entrance of the hole, only a few sparse rays of light leaked from the corners.

The whole cave suddenly darkened.

In the dark and silent space, Li Shizhen and Bai Hu lay one after another at the entrance of the cave. Except for the pounding heartbeat and breathing, they all felt the third sound, which was the big rock at the entrance of the cave. The sound of slightly hitting the hole was like a heavy, depressed drum beat on the heart.

One person and one tiger waited quietly for this huge threat, not knowing whether it would approach or pass by, nor could it be known at all whether the preparations they made could help them tide over the current difficulties.

The rumbling pace staggered, Li Shizhen could already feel a slight vibration in the cave. He drew two horizontal lines on the white tiger's back, and the white tiger patted the ground lightly with confirmation. It seemed that they were really two tyrannosaurus. We went ashore together.

At this time, the sun outside has begun to sink, and the heat of the mainland has slowly subsided. The water overlords who have eaten and drink in the river leisurely roll over in the water from time to time, revealing a streamlined body on the surface of the water.

There are still many land and air predators staying on both sides of the river bank. Those are the corpses left after being trampled on, and some are the corpses that were drowned and washed downstream by the river. The casualties caused by the chaotic crossing of the river have doubled.

But apparently the mainland hegemon who had successfully landed on the north shore did not cast a glance at those ant-like lives.

Today's hunting operation is undoubtedly a success for Tyrannosaurus. They not only used the terrain to feast, but also passed the deadliest level leading to the fat land unscathed.

For top predators, their concern is still the whereabouts of food, and chasing the migration route of large groups of herbivorous dinosaurs is also an instinct for survival for them.

The two tyrannosaurs who had just set foot on the north shore moved their noses, trying to determine the destination of the prey that landed on the north shore and fled in panic.

The female dragon suddenly let out an earth-shattering howl, and then rushed towards the small forest. The big trees blocking the road along the way were knocked down and the branches and leaves fell, and many shorter trees fell directly to the ground. Many shrubs under the tree were directly trampled into wood residue by the dragon.

The female dragon’s steps rumbling into the bushes, one person and one tiger hiding in the cave can of course feel it, the pace that is about to step on the ground is approaching them, and the damp mud passage can feel the obvious tremors of the earth’s regularity. .

Li Zhizhen was next to Bai Hu's chest, and he could clearly hear his heartbeat "pounding" as quickly as his own. After all, they are not sure that this cave can withstand the anger of the female dragon.

After thinking about it, Li Shizhen still pulled the white tiger into the depths of the cave. After all, the entrance of the cave is only a soil structure, which may not be able to bear weight. The depth of the cave is at least made of stone, and there are vent holes. If the passage collapses, They are too depressed to be blocked in this passage, at least it is safer in the cave.

The female dragon in the woods outside stood where one person, one tiger, and the big bear were fighting. After looking around, she finally fixed her eyes on the white tiger's blood stain on the ground, and then it trampled back and forth on the blood stain violently.

It wailed in resentment again, and its thick and powerful tail severely drew a trace on the large tree nearby, and the white trunk under the bark was exposed among the branches and leaves.

After going back and forth several times in this small open space, it moved its nose and rushed towards the river bank. Of course, there was no one person or a tiger on the edge of the woods near the river bank. The tiger and the big tree where Li Shizhen stayed was flat. Suffered from this unreasonable disaster, he was knocked to the ground by this tyrannosaurus.

One person, Yihu, who stayed deep in the cave felt the terrible pace leaving the woods, and seemed to hear the unwilling roar of the female dragon, and he was slightly relieved. At least this barrier has passed temporarily.

Only then did Li Shizhao begin to carefully clean up the cave.

In order to better observe the situation in the cleaning hole, he added two torches into the ground.

At this time, the inside of this small cave can basically be seen clearly.

Li Shizhao first swept all the leftover bones of the black bear into the passage. The ground here is covered with dirt and gravel. It is estimated that the black bear leveled it by himself before, but Li Shizhao intends to make it more comfortable. I was going to pick out some sharp stones, just to make weapons. After all, there is a shortage of materials in the cave now, and then layer soil or something on it, and it is estimated that the white tiger can also rest on it.

However, the cave was indeed a little wet. Li Shizhen planned to light the bonfire first, and later use the hot soil under the bonfire to make a bed.

The process of sorting out the rubble is not complicated. Li Shizhao and Baihu also talked indifferently, speculating about the actions of the tyrannosaurus outside while sorting them out, so he felt a sharp stone and threw it aside. Before taking a closer look, he was about to throw it into the pile of materials, but the weight suddenly surprised him.

this is? !

Li Shizhao suddenly walked to Bai Hu's side, shaking his hands and handing it over: "Look, this is?"

Bai Hu looked at the shattered leg bone with the light of the fire, patted his tail, and confirmed Li Shixun's conjecture.

Li Shizhao glanced at the black bear next to him. Could it be that this guy has eaten people? He felt a little sick after thinking about it. But this bone was obviously dug out from the ground by him, and the other bones eaten by this black bear were thrown on the ground.

Or is there someone else who lived in this cave before? To be more certain, should it be a man like the Leopard?

The situation is complicated and difficult for the time being. Is this guy also an intelligent life, and this bone is his relative? No, it is not. Li Shizhao shook his head again and denied his judgment again. From the scene of his fight with the white tiger, it can be seen that this is more like a pure beast, fighting by instinct, without generating any wisdom. Otherwise, what it should do at the time is to immediately solve the white tiger, and ignore Li Shizhen's simple provocation.

Regarding this point, Li Shizhao relied on intuition, but was not particularly sure. In order to confirm, he also communicated with Bai Hu. As a result, the black bear corpse on the ground received a disgusting look in the eyes of Bai Hu. It really does not seem to be anymore. .

So, this cave was really inhabited by intelligent beings like the leopards a long time ago? Then the owner was eaten by the black bear or driven away? Thinking of this, Li Shizhao felt a little sad.

He found a corner to put the broken bones, and planned to wait until he went out to bury them. In this cruel world, the remains of the dead may be the greatest compassion and luck.

That night, Tyrannosaurus didn’t find it. Of course, their food was the black bear’s corpse. Anyway, the spices and cooking utensils were all there, as were water, and the wood was just collected enough. Instead, they throw away all the sleeping quilts. On the back of the brachiosaurus.

Li Shizhao didn't use the jerky candies for emergency use. He made up his mind to wait until he finished eating the black bear before going out to see the situation. Anyway, such a big size would be enough to support it for several days. So he started to peel the skin and bones of the black bear. Anyway, the bear made them so miserable today. It was injured and left behind, and it was nothing to eat.

The injured Baihu enjoyed a handful of bone broth and the fragrant stew. He didn't even look at his swollen paws. Instead, Li Shizhao repeatedly checked it several times and felt that it was really just a ligament injury. , Plus a little swelling, it's really not a big problem to relax.

In order to comfort the white tiger and to heal his wounds, Li Shizhen did not restrict his food. As a result, the big cat ate half of the bear...

Li Shizhen's hands were sore after cutting meat and cooking. He couldn't help but sighed when he saw it satisfactorily. Forget it, let it go. If it doesn't work, go out hunting ahead of time. Just be careful.

One person, one tiger, I don’t know if it’s a meal. Anyway, the cave is dark and I don’t know the time. One person and one tiger follow the rhythm of eating when they are hungry, regardless of whether it’s dinner time.

In order to make the house better, Li Shizhao also dug a toilet in the other direction of the stone cave in the passage. The ground was leveled and leveled by him. One person and one tiger slept on the warm hot soil and ate enough. After drinking enough, I fell asleep very sweetly.

The next day Li Shizhao woke up and was about to go to the edge of the passage to watch the situation. He found that Bai Hu did not get up as alert as usual. He gently pushed it, it was hot, and Li Shizhao was taken aback.

Bai Hu didn't get up, only made a slight "Woo" sound, faint to barely audible.

At this time, the bonfire had gone out, and only a little spark was left, only a little red light was shining in the cave.

Li Shizhao groped and found Bai Hu's forehead, it was really hot, and his usual moist nose was also dry. What happened to this big cat?
