Back to the Wilderness

"Come here." Xie Cheng greeted Ji Fuyun, squatted down, patted himself on the shoulder, and said, "Come up, I'll carry you."

The sound of the mammoth's footsteps was getting closer and closer, like a drum beating.Ji Fuyun didn't show any pretense, and just lay on Xie Cheng's back.

"Be careful yourself." Because Xie Cheng was carrying a person weighing more than 100 kilograms, he simply drew out his dagger and gave up climbing trees with his bare hands.

And Ji Fuyun only needs to hold Xie Cheng's shoulders to ensure that he will not fall, and it will not affect Xie Cheng's trip.

It has to be said that Xie Cheng's skill is very strong, even with Ji Fuyun on his back, he was not affected in the slightest, but in less than thirty seconds, Xie Cheng took Ji Fuyun to climb up to the ten-meter-high Huon cypress.

The field of vision suddenly widened from the tree, and one could clearly see the fertile grassland at the end of the forest not far away.

The mammoth seemed to come from the sky. It was originally just a point on the skyline, but it was magnified in a blink of an eye. The first thing that caught the eye was the long ivory that curved upwards, like two swords soaring into the sky, with a domineering momentum.

When the mammoth came into view completely, everyone gasped in unison.

too big!terrible!

With a shoulder height of four meters and a length of about six to seven meters, the whole body is covered with long gray hair. Every step of the thick limbs is a heavy blow to the ground. Occasionally, the giant trunk can bring gusts of wind. .Like a mountain whose peak has been cut off, it is heavy and majestic, standing firm and unable to resist.

Ji Fuyun could only recognize that it was a mammoth, but couldn't tell its specific species.But looking at such a large size, it is likely to be a Columbian mammoth or a steppe mammoth.But these are not important, no matter what, this mammoth is an insurmountable gap for them.

The mammoth did not enter the forest, but walked southward along the grassland, with slow and heavy steps, and the air was tightened step by step.

There was another loud noise, and the roar of the mammoth startled countless forest birds.

The mammoth, however, ignored the confusion as if it had just yawned.

Even from a long distance, everyone looked at this mammoth and felt a huge oppression, which was followed by a deep sense of powerlessness, and they couldn't even think of any confrontation.The confidence built up by defeating the saber-toothed tiger and the giant python was crumbling.

Ji Fuyun remembered that the tyrannosaurus rex he encountered just after setting foot on this land was more terrifying than the mammoth.And these terrifying things, such as various dinosaurs, such as terrifying beasts that Ji Fuyun doesn't know... There are still many in this world, and they will meet one by one in the end, unable to fight or avoid.

Living is harder than ever.

It wasn't until the mammoth disappeared from everyone's sight that the despair in the air faded a little.

Xie Cheng patted Ji Fuyun, who was a little distracted, and said, "Go down."

Ji Fuyun nodded, and lay back on Xie Cheng's back again.He originally knew that mammoths lived in the frigid zone, but the current climate zone is obviously not the frigid zone, and he found it a bit unbelievable but also clear.The appearance of mammoths is not scientific, so how can we ask others to be scientific?

Everyone was a little lost.

Xie Cheng was helpless.Here, except for him and Zhou Qiming, they are all ordinary people without exception, and even the blood is rarely seen. Even elites like Ji Fuyun are only superior in IQ or character. Facing the terrifying mammoth, they subconsciously Fear is taken for granted.

But the current situation does not allow them to back down.

After clapping his hands, Xie Cheng called everyone's attention: "Now let's discuss how to do it."

"What else can I do..." One person whispered, his tone full of strong disappointment.

"There is a way." Zhou Qiming said suddenly.

Ji Fuyun thought for a while and said: "It's impossible to fight head-on, let's go round."

"Well." Xie Cheng nodded, "If we can't beat it, we can hide or go around. As long as we successfully bypass the mammoth, we can reach the safe zone."

Perhaps the imminent safety zone gave everyone a little motivation, and the sluggish crowd also began to participate in the discussion.

"Now that monster is gone, can we go there?" Old Wang suggested.

Xie Guo resolutely vetoed it, "The grassland is no better than the forest. We have nowhere to hide. If we set foot on the grassland and the mammoth turns back, we won't be able to escape at all."

For a mammoth, the distance within its line of sight is not distance.

"Even if we cross the grassland, we may meet when we come back." Ji Fuyun added.

"Then what should we do?" Gao Yiyang grimaced.

"Let's spend a few days observing the mammoth's work and rest, and see if the mammoth's appearance today is a coincidence or its regular actions." Xie Cheng actually had an idea in his mind, and asked out on purpose, just to mobilize the atmosphere.

Zhou Qiming nodded in agreement.

Ji Fuyun sighed, "That's the only way."

"That's right." Xie Cheng suddenly looked at Ji Fuyun, "In the next few days, those who don't know how to climb trees must learn to climb trees."

"Pfft ha ha ha!" Lao Wang was still the unkind person.

Ji Fuyun was embarrassed.

Gao Yiyang pretended to be surprised and shouted: "Brother Ji, I didn't expect that you can't climb trees!"

Ji Fuyun is not in a good mood, it's not surprising that he can't climb trees.He has been living in a city that is almost full of landscape trees, and he has a very gentle temper since he was a child, and he will not go to the park to climb trees and catch cicadas like other children.Who knows that the skill of "climbing trees" will be used one day in the future!

The originally tense and depressing atmosphere was reconciled a lot by Ji Fuyun's "can't climb trees".

As a result, on the way back, Ji Fuyun was besieged and ridiculed by everyone.

Ji Fuyun smiled wryly, he swore he saw Xie Cheng laughing, it must be Xie Cheng who brought this up on purpose!

"It was actually my mistake." As if feeling Ji Fuyun's resentment, Xie Cheng said, "I should have known from the beginning that he can't climb trees. Fortunately, it's not too late to find out now."

After all, Xie Cheng is also a human being, and it is impossible to consider everything thoughtfully.Especially when Ji Fuyun hadn't joined his team at the beginning, they had already climbed a tree collectively to avoid wild beasts. Xie Cheng knew who could climb trees and who couldn't, so that he subconsciously ignored the ones who joined later. Ji Fuyun.Perhaps this negligence is also related to Ji Fuyun's toughness.

Having said that, everyone continued to laugh at Ji Fuyun in different ways after saying "Oh".Especially Pharaoh is the most.

We didn't catch any big beasts today, so we substituted several smaller animals for dinner.Three or two two-legged hedgehogs, pheasants, etc., when they went back through the grassland, they caught a few running rabbits.Running rabbits are different from modern rabbits. They are not good at running and can be caught easily.

In the next few days, except for Ji Fuyun, the others will observe the routine of the mammoth as a small team for a day.Seven or eight people were at least a kilometer apart, all of them nestled in the canopy of the tree, pulled out a long detection line at the edge of the forest, and began to record the time and direction from the moment the mammoth appeared.

As for Ji Fuyun?I am struggling to learn to climb trees.

Of course, Ji Fuyun is not the only one who can't climb trees, and all women except Zhao Lan can't.Men... there are only seven or eight of them, and neither will Qin Hao, a game player who has always been valued.

These men and women were all ordered by Xie Cheng to learn how to climb trees.

There are many trees beside the cave, and the study place is set here.

"You need to use your feet." Zhou Qiming said with a cold face, Ji Fuyun hurriedly stepped on his feet, but there was nowhere to use his strength, and he couldn't climb up.This is the first time Ji Fuyun has encountered such a big setback. He has always been a fast learner, but he has not learned how to climb a tree.

Of course, in Ji Fuyun's eyes, the definition of being able to climb a tree is not just to climb a tree, but to climb a tree quickly.

Xie Cheng gave them a demonstration at the beginning. He just hugged the trunk casually, and his feet reached the top of the tree in no time. The speed was astonishingly fast, as if walking on the ground.This is similar to the poplar tree, which has a straight and thin trunk, like a tree with many branches and many branches. Xie Cheng doesn't need to climb at all, and can jump freely on it.

Ji Fuyun doesn't want to be as handy as Xie Cheng, at least he can climb up smoothly, instead of being like now, the posture is ugly and the efficiency is not high.

Looking at the others, there are a few men who have learned to look good, and that Qin Hao, perhaps because of the game otaku, has learned that he can't even climb a tree. Looking at him, he is about to cry up.

"Hey." Ji Fuyun sighed helplessly, and continued to climb up resignedly.He couldn't even care about himself.

Xie Cheng and the others have roughly grasped the routine of the mammoth, and after a few days of confirmation, they will start arranging for all the staff to move to the safe zone.time does not wait.
