Jungle Throne

When they returned to the cave, both of them were exhausted.The little black panther squatted quietly at the entrance of the cave, and as soon as it saw them coming back, it immediately jumped up and rubbed its head against Gao Zhige's feet very clingingly.

Gao Zhige was taken aback, and almost kicked her. Fortunately, this familiar feeling made her react, and her foot that had just been raised a little was firmly pressed down by her.She looked down, except for the pair of vertical pupils that blinked and blinked, she basically couldn't see the shape of the little black panther - the little black panther had already merged with the surrounding environment, plus the leopard She seldom makes a sound, and walks quietly because of the thick pads on the soles of her feet. As an ordinary human being, Gao Zhige is naturally difficult to spot.

"Sorry, I came back so late today, I made you worry."

Gao Zhige bent down to hold the little black panther in his arms, and rubbed him apologetically.The little black panther meowed softly, licked her fingers with his tongue, and then adjusted his posture and nestled in her arms.

Gao Zhige carried it into the cave, followed by Meng Luo.Meng Luo was dirty all over, but she really didn't have the extra energy to clean herself up. She went into the cave and drank a few sips of water by the dark river, then found a place to lie down, and closed her eyes to rest.Gao Zhige put the little black panther next to the lion, and almost instantly, the beast's keen sense of smell smelled the blood on the lion's body.

"Okay little guy, be good, let A Luo have a good rest, she is exhausted today." Gao Zhige stopped the little black panther from climbing up on the lion, and while talking, smoothed the messy hair on the other's head with his fingers It suddenly occurred to me that it would be nice to have a wooden comb now.

The little black panther obediently lay down beside the lion's paw, stretched out its tongue and licked the bloody paw of the other party.Gao Zhige patted its head, and suddenly sighed tiredly.In the next second, her whole spirit was sluggish, and she was so decadent that she couldn't stand it.At the moment of sighing, she thought a lot in her mind, but she didn't seem to think about anything. She felt that it was useless to live so actively before, and her belief in her heart was shaken.

The air was inexplicably quiet, and the silence was terrifying.

Even when times are tough, life has to go on, doesn't it?

This sentence suddenly came to Gao Zhige's mind. She lowered her head and looked at the shining vertical pupils of the little black panther for a long time, and found that it was not as creepy as she imagined. The lit lamp gives it a guiding direction.

At this time, a wet feeling suddenly came from the back of her other hand.Gao Zhige turned his head to look, and saw that the lion also opened a pair of softly shining eyes, licking himself comfortingly, his eyes full of worry.

"I am fine."

Gao Zhige nestled his body on the lion's body wearily, and when he closed his eyes, he felt drowsy instantly.The little black panther came over biting a piece of animal skin, Meng Luo pulled the animal skin with his paws and covered Gao Zhige's body, while the little guy got into the opponent's arm, and also curled up and fell asleep.

That's great... Meng Luo quietly looked at Gao Zhige's sleeping face for a long time, rubbed his nose against Gao Zhige affectionately, breathed in the familiar breath of the other person, and closed his eyes.

And somewhere far away from the cave on the outskirts of the forest, the Leaping Beast that almost drove them to a desperate situation today is staggering and fleeing, but chasing behind it is not a giant beast bigger than it, but several A beast twice its size.But it was these wild beasts that forced the Leaping Beast to choose to escape.

The closer the forest periphery is to the grassland, the fewer trees there are, and the leaves are not particularly dense, so the bright moonlight can easily pass through the leaves and pour on the ground.From the shadows reflected on the tree trunks, it can be seen that two of these wild beasts have the same majestic mane on their necks as Meng Luo. Although the rest do not, it can be seen from other aspects that they belong to the same ethnic group.

"Roar--"

Suddenly, the Leaping Beast let out a mournful cry. It turned out that the same beast suddenly jumped out from the side of the road ahead at some point. The sharp canine teeth easily penetrated the scales on the Leaping Beast's neck and pierced into the flesh.The beasts behind also rushed up in the next second, biting them one after another.

The moment the blood flowed into the throat, an inexplicable hot current flowed from the heart to all parts of the body in an instant, tempering every meridian.The heartbeats of these wild beasts suddenly slowed down, but the sound seemed to be beating very hard drums, one after another, clearly spreading in this area.

The blood from the Leaping Beast was quickly drained by these wild beasts. After that, they didn't even bother to look at the last remaining corpse, and quickly left the place.

When Gao Zhige woke up from hunger, the cave was still dark, and it was still so dark that he couldn't see his fingers.As soon as she moved, the two big cats beside her also woke up.

"What's wrong?" Monroe asked in a low voice.Then just in time to hear Gao Zhige's belly "cuckling" sound.

"Hmm... I'm a little hungry." Gao Zhige's face was a little shy.She got up in the dark, but was stopped by Meng Luo: "Don't move, I'll get the backpack for you."

Gao Zhige sat there obediently, and when Meng Luo brought her backpack over, she took out a small flashlight from the interlayer inside.When the flashlight shone white light, Gao Zhige looked at this strange yet familiar artificial light, and couldn't help feeling a little bit in his heart.

She quickly built a fire, put a half-filled clay pot on the stove, put a few salt fruits in it, and turned off the flashlight.In this era without electricity, such power-consuming things can still be saved.

Gao Zhige's earthen stove is very simple, just like making clay pots, he directly uses mud on the ground to make a hollow shape with a lower, upper, upper, and smaller hollows, and finally digs a hole at the bottom for firewood.But more than that, before using the soil to build it, a hole was dug on the ground, and a cake-shaped pottery plate was placed on the hole.There are round holes on the board that are bigger than a one-yuan coin, so that the ash burned above will fall through these round holes into the earth pit below.A hole was also dug in the earth pit below to lead to the ground to facilitate air circulation and transport out the plant ash inside.

Not only the way of setting up this earthen stove, but also the leaf house outside which is specially used to smoke animal skins, etc., she saw it from a certain website, and now she remembers it so clearly and can only rely on these means of survival , I don’t know whether to say it’s unfortunate or lucky.

It was still dark outside the cave at the moment, and Gao Zhige didn't know what time it was.She rekindled a fire next to the earthen stove, took out a deer hind leg and a few pieces of meat and roasted them, shared them with Meng Luo and the black panther, and the salt in the salt fruit was boiled out and dissolved. into the water.Gao Zhige scooped out half of the bowl with a pottery bowl, and gave the rest to Meng Luo to drink.

By the light of the fire, Gao Zhige carefully cleaned Meng Luo's paw cut by the stone. The wound was not big, it was a gash about a knuckle long, and it was not deep, but the blood was rubbed all over the paw, so look at it. It sounds scary, but as long as you pay attention to it, it will be fine after a few days.

Gao Zhige applied medicine to Meng Luo, but she couldn't help thinking about what happened yesterday.She didn't know how to talk to Meng Luo about whether she wanted to join the wolf tribe.Moreover, on the other hand, she is also hesitating whether to join the wolf tribe, although the wolf tribe has sent her many invitations, both openly and secretly, but that is only her.Moreover, lions and wolves were not at odds with each other, and Meng Luo was used to hunting alone, while the wolf tribe hunted in groups, so Meng Luo couldn't integrate into it and was excluded by them.

If you can't integrate into the tribe, then why join the tribe?

Besides, she didn't want to see this kind of thing happen to Meng Luo, and she didn't want the other party to wrong herself because she agreed to join.She couldn't say what she felt, but she felt uncomfortable just thinking that Meng Luo would be treated like that.Originally, there was only one person, but now I finally have my own company, and I am working hard for myself every day, satisfying all my requirements. If I really joined the wolf tribe just to seek shelter, wouldn't it be like that? Is it equivalent to abandoning the other party?Then what kind of person do you become?

Gao Zhige was very entangled in her heart, and finally she simply gave up on herself and thought: Why must the few people join the many people, why can't the many people join the few people?Until the second before she fell asleep again, she was still thinking about how to let her whole tribe join their small group, maybe she would dream about it later.
