Survival In the World of Beasts

Fourth Law of the Jungle: Only by conscientiously summarizing and absorbing each lesson can you live longer. Remarks: Every time you forget, there will be blood lessons; the rules of the jungle may not only apply in the jungle.

—Li Shizhao

The weather in the jungle has become even hotter, and there has been less rainfall. I don’t know what happened recently. The animals in the forest are a little restless. I can often see the birds being startled, and there are terrible roars from time to time. The gentle herbivores were refusing to approach Li Shizhen, and there was a wound on his arm that was injured by the leader of the baboon group. All this made Li Shizhao feel very uneasy, as if there was something happening around him, and the sensitive creatures were aware of it, but he was ignorant.

His traps are also not working smoothly. Recently, very few animals have fallen into the traps. Once it was easy to find that there was a prey and it turned out to be too big. It is impossible for him to carry it back from the air. He also thought about disassembling a part of it and taking it away. But the cutting tool was too incompetent. It only cut halfway and attracted a few groups of predators, so that he could only throw down the prey and flee in a hurry; or the prey had been severely scratched by the stone when it fell, and the blood was gone. Attracted predators. This in-situ bloodletting behavior is really the rhythm of letting those large carnivores surround him to open parties, but he is really lacking in these mineral elements.

He roughly calculated that he needs 2000ml of blood for at least three days to maintain the balance of sodium in the body in this hot and sweaty weather. It sounds scary, but this is already his estimation based on the salt content in human blood. If it is animal blood, the salt content will be lower and the requirement will only be greater.

Licking his dry lips, in such a hot noon, his sweat was dripping like a faucet, but the palms of his hands were cold, and everything in front of him was a little ghosted. He took another big gulp of the water in the bamboo tube, and he felt a little laborious even to pick up the bamboo tube. He knew that this would not work. Drinking water is useless at all. He will only lose more sodium when he sweats like this, but when he opened the notepad with sweat stains on the corners, it was a week ago that he had flesh and blood to eat. The severe symptoms made him have to take the risk to check the traps at noon to see if he was lucky enough to catch one or two animals. His current physical condition is really not suitable for digging new traps.

When he inspected a bush with red berries, he heard a soft cry. There was a deer-like animal at the bottom of the pit, but it was obviously not a deer. This little animal had bigger eyes and limbs. It’s also shorter and smaller. It seems to have been caught in the pit and fell and broke his foot. It wailed at the bottom of the pit. It should have been a while since it fell. Maybe its mother didn’t only have this child and saw it fall. There is no way to get it up even if the leg is broken, I can only give up it for the other children.

When Li Shizhao hung it up with vines and branches, his whole body was so tired that he was flooded from the water. He almost fell into the pit in darkness. Fortunately, he grabbed the shrubs next to him to maintain his balance. Also shocked his heart beat.

Jiji—

There was a hurried call in the distance. Do you want to move so fast? Li Shizhao smiled bitterly, he just got it now. But instead of stopping, the movement of his hand accelerated. He tied the deer to his back, it was still struggling, and the cry was even more panic. Li Shizhao had no mercy at all at this time. If he saw such a furry little animal in the zoo, he would gently feed some leaves. It's just that in this cruel jungle, he himself has come to the edge of life danger. The weak and the strong, it sounds simple, and only when he is in it can he feel the bone-cold blood.

As soon as he climbed the tree pole not high, he felt his feet slippery and his palms were full of sweat. Thanks to some fine vines, he would have to fall again if he slipped. It was a little dark in front of him, and he panted hard, feeling that the deer behind was sinking like a stone. The branches and leaves of the bush next to it shook, and they came!

No, he can't give up. If he loses this prey, he doesn't know how long he can support his physical condition. He struggled to climb upwards, without having to bow his head, he could see the bulging veins on his arms through the tied fine vines, and his heart was beating suddenly. Slowly on a branch, he lowered his head and saw that the blue veins on his forehead suddenly jumped up and his head became even more dizzy.

The group of dinosaurs with bright feathers on the front paws and the back of the neck, which looked slender, lined up and wanted to step on the tree one by one. Li Zhizhen's face was terribly pale, but his eyes showed a faint blackness. It was only a matter of time before they climbed up. This branch is not too high, and he has no physical strength to climb up, so he must make a decision.

Taking a deep breath and riding under the branches, Li Shizhao ignored the group of dinosaurs for the time being. Instead, he put down the deer behind him, not daring to look directly at the big wet brown eyes. The deer seemed to feel the crisis and kept struggling. , But the limbs were tightly bound, it could only scream. He held down the deer's neck with one hand, and took out a knife with the other hand to cut the artery, and moved his lips towards the deer's sharp pain.

The hot and furry taste came from the mouth, which was soft and tender unique to juvenile animals. The gurgling salty warm liquid poured into the mouth, and its struggle under the hand became weaker and weaker, accompanied by the twitching of a lot of blood loss in the body. He could even hear the voice of the deer getting slower and faint, and the dinosaurs underneath heard the excitement of the smell, and the sound of swallowing blood...

When he realized what he was swallowing, his stomach twitched instantly. He felt the surge of stomach acid burning the digestive tract. He even felt that as soon as he moved his mouth, he would vomit it out immediately, but he couldn't.

You have to live, live! Li Zhizhu!

He forced himself to swallow, but the tears made his vision suddenly blurred. He didn't wipe it, but blinked hard. He pressed the deer firmly, so hard that his fingertips were pale, but the tears kept streaming down. From the moment he drank the blood of the deer, he knew that he had lost something and would never be able to find it again. The physical discomfort slowly subsided with the blood supplement, but the psychological frustration, despair, and even anger, mixed with something else overwhelming the sky.

Feeling that the blood has not poured out much, he removed his lips and let go of his hand. The deer was still twitching slightly, but his half-closed eyes had lost the wet and affectionate brilliance. Although his hands and feet had begun to gain strength, he did not take away the body of the deer, nor ignored the excited group of dinosaurs under the tree.

He sucked his nose and stood up, his nose was a little red, and his lips were still stained with blood. He looked a little dazed and seemed more determined. He glanced at the boundless green field in the distance, and then left the tree. He told himself that everything would be fine, and it would definitely be.

------------

The jungle in the evening is also particularly dazzling under the brilliant clouds on the horizon. Everything is stained with a layer of glow, and the birds begin to return to their nests. After the hot day, the animals lazily rest and drink by the water, a lively scene. Scenes.

The monkeys were also enjoying the sunlight and fruit on the tree, but their leader was a bit manic. The weird large monkey with no hair but a murder weapon had been with them for a long time, and the leader began to suspect that he was It's not that he has taken a fancy to its harem and wants to challenge it, but his size is really hard to pass.

Li Zhizhen received the fierce gnawing teeth and half of the fruit from the leader. The leader yelled a few times and took the younger brother and the harem to leave. It seemed that he was too lazy to answer Li Zhizhen, not seeing and not getting upset. But they are by no means the only victims of harassment. Basically, the nearby friendly and good-neighbor Li Shizheng has followed the principle of state visits, and they have been stalking one by one. As a result, people are embarrassed to do even private things. It is estimated that the rainforest will be discovered next year If the ethnic group has reduced production, then Li Shizhen must be the culprit.

Although the honorary student Li Shizhao has learned about this from various angles such as biology, anatomy, and ecology, when reading the paper, this is a rigorous behavior of reproduction, which is very serious about ecology. Major propositions such as balance, gene transfer, species evolution, etc., will not respond. Those who respond are frantic, but watching the animal version of the live action film is really embarrassing, especially when they protest, he feels like being Despised voyeur.

But it was not without gain. Li Shizhao followed the group of monkeys and found that they always disappeared from a certain hillside at the edge of the dense forest after a period of time. Although evolved humans can climb trees and barely wander in the forest. For example, Li Shizhao, but trying to catch up with the genuine monkey is a delusion. But he had a hunch that what he was looking for might be nearby.

Sure enough, the group of monkeys came here again today, Li Shizhen was covered with branches heavily, taking advantage of the twilight to fall, making up his mind to see the direction of their movement. After the monkeys exchanged with each other, they turned to the cliff.

No wonder he hadn't found where they went in the previous few times of tracking. As soon as he turned around, it was completely obscured by Huishan. It would be strange if he could find it. When he struggled up and down the trees among the trees, the sky was completely dark, and the moon had even risen in the sky. I don’t know if it was his illusion. He always felt that the moon here was smaller than that on the earth. A lap, just like the effect of losing weight just now.

Under the crystal clear moonlight, the sight in front of him made him breathe stagnant. This cliff stands on the edge of the grassland. From a distance, the grassland is like an endless green blanket under the night and the night wind blows by. , There are waves on the grass, and the river reflects the light of the stars and the moon, like a mosaic of broken diamonds, exquisite and gorgeous, behind it is the lush forest, quiet and peaceful but full of vitality. The cliff in front of you is utterly blank, which seems to be the biggest flaw in the forest and grassland. However, countless quiet animals quietly lick its bare soil, which will make you think that perhaps it is the forest and grassland. As the starting point of life, the grasslands and jungles have opened up several roads that the animals walked on their own because of it, as if the invisible life source force is continuously transported to the distance from these roads.

Almost all the herbivores Li Shizhao had seen were gathered here, brachiosaurus, triceratops, cattle, deer, guinea pigs, monkeys, baboons, small herbivorous dinosaurs on the cliffs... There were so many animals he didn't recognize or even saw, and everyone seemed to be going to a feast of life.

Li Shizhao almost couldn't wait to dip his fingers in the soil, tasted it, it was salty.

The boulder hanging above his head for so many days seemed to be put down again. He took off his schoolbag, took out a piece of fur that had been arranged inside, and began to hold mud on the fur.

With the sound of bird startled, Li Shizhao paused, and the animals licking the dirt around stopped and raised their ears, and some even began to dig the dirt anxiously. He swiftly packed the animal skins and put them in his schoolbag. People immediately wanted to return to the jungle, but found it was too late.

More than a dozen pairs of dark vertical pupils lit up in the forest, Li Zhizhen’s heart was pounding, and there were a few high-pitched wailings in the sky. Li Zhizhen looked up and saw countless huge circling wings, some of which slowed down. Slowly swinging the long tail. All the herbivores were in a mess. The large animals under the cliffs were slightly better. Some of them seemed to be disturbed and retreated slowly. On the cliffs, there was a desperate stampede, and countless animals began to panic. Rushing away in the dense forest, although there are predators in the dense forest, it is much better than being exposed in the clearing. Those Deinonychus began to hunt in the dense forest, gluttonously.

Li Zhizhu also had a group of beasts running wild in his heart. As an animal that walks upright, he was very proud of it for a long time, but in the rhythm of everyone fleeing together to see who can escape, two legs Not only can you not run on four legs, but you also can’t fight others to maintain your balance. It’s easy to have countless four legs stepped on you.

He retreated to the edge of the cliff and watched a small four-legged dinosaur caught high in the sky. He took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and began to shake the "Meteor Hammer" in his hand. Suddenly, a burst of sound came from the jungle behind him. The horrified scream was not those herbivores, but like a Deinonychus, there was a rustle of branches and leaves in the woods, and there was a slight vibration on the ground, but he didn't have time to pay attention to what was behind him.

A pair of sharp claws grabbed at him, and he even clearly saw the knuckles on the open four toes and the sharp barbs on the fingertips. He used the huge inertia of the meteor hammer to slam the claws. The sharp sound of piercing the eardrum was accompanied by the rapid sound of flapping wings.

Damn it, don't run! Lord's meteor hammer!

Li Shizhao stepped forward in a panic and grabbed the end of the vine rope, trying to shake the meteor hammer to loosen it. After all, there are not many weapons in the jungle that are so effective and lethal, and they are so dangerous tonight. Without this weapon, Li Shizhen would not be able to defend himself.

"Ahhhh-"

"Hahhhhh-"

There was a sharp scream on the cliff that no aboriginal people had ever heard. Of course, it was a duo of shocked screams of stupid two-legged beasts and frightened screams of unlucky pterosaurs.

Li Shizhaoguang thought about getting the weapon back, but forgot that he was standing on the edge of the cliff, so as soon as he went forward and chased the whole person, he hung in the air and fell, having to grab the vine in his hand. The poor pterodactyl whose paw was hurt so much that he wanted to escape, had already flown into the air, but suddenly noticed that the weight was heavy, and he yelled in fright and fluttered his wings quickly. Otherwise, if he fell, he would lose the face of the dragon. !

The wind was blowing, and Li Shizhen found that he had been far away from the jungle, and the greenery beneath him was endless.

Haha, the grassland welcomes you, are you ready to kiss you?
