The wolf pack saw Lu Xiaotian's strange movements, and a few wolves took the lead to pounce on Lu Xiaotian and the spirit beast leopard.
Roar! The spiritual leopard fiercely opened its mouth and bit the opponent's throat, ending his life.
Lu Xiaotian's face suddenly turned cold. He pulled out his dagger and slashed at the wolf's head. Awoo! A cut appeared on the wolf's head, from its ear to its nose. In the blink of an eye, two wolves were killed. However, in the white fog in the distance, a dozen wolves of different sizes rushed out.
"Run!" Lu Xiaotian gave the order to the spiritual leopard. He waved his dagger and forced another wolf to retreat. Pulling the rope with one hand, he decisively jumped off the cliff. There were too many wolves, and there were one or two monsters among them. Their momentum was not much worse than the leopard's. If he persisted here, he might not be able to escape the fate of being eaten by the wolves. Therefore, Lu Xiaotian did not hesitate to choose the wolves and the leopard to escape. As for whether he could escape with his life, it would depend on the leopard's own luck.
The leopard looked back and saw that Lu Xiaotian had already jumped off the cliff. It howled and rushed towards the thin wolf pack.
The wolves above kept howling. As Lu Xiaotian slid down, he felt a strange movement from the rope in his hand. Looking up, he saw that two wolves had begun to bite the rope. These animals' intelligence was not low. Lu Xiaotian cursed and increased the speed of his slide. At the same time, he kicked a rock on the cliff and used the force to swing to the green vines growing on the cliff. He grabbed the green vines with one hand. As soon as he used the force, the rope was bitten off by the wolves.
Lu Xiaotian secretly shouted that it was a close call. He grabbed the broken rope and used the force of the green vines to safely land on the protruding rock of the cliff.
On the cliff, several wolves wandered back and forth for a while. After howling in disappointment, they left one after another.
He wondered how the leopard was doing now. Soon, Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but shake his head. He couldn't even protect himself now, so how could he care about the leopard?
Putting aside the broken rope, Lu Xiaotian raised his head and looked up. The vines on the cliff were about fifty to sixty feet away from the top of the cliff. If he climbed up along the vines, threw the broken rope down the cliff, and hung it on a tree trunk, he would be able to escape this dangerous situation. Since there was no need to worry about retreating, Lu Xiaotian felt relieved. What he needed to do now was to compete with the wolves in terms of patience.
Although he couldn't hear the movements of the wolves from above, according to his experience of going into the mountains with his father when he was young, wolves were the most vengeful animals. Although there were no howls from above the cliff for the time being, these wild wolves might not have really left. Perhaps there was still a wolf waiting for an early warning.
After temporarily escaping from danger, Lu Xiaotian felt a burst of pain in his shoulder, elbow, and chest.
He lifted his shirt and rolled up his sleeves to take a look. There were many bruises on his arms and chest. They were purplish-red in color. There were also some bloodstains in many places. They were caused by the rocks on the cliff when he jumped down. Fortunately, his muscles and bones weren't injured, so it would pass after a while.
However, Lu Xiaotian quickly discovered that his current situation wasn't good. Previously, he was trapped in an inexplicable terrain and then chased by the wolves. After escaping to this place, he had completely lost his sense of direction. Sitting down to recover some of his Yuan Qi, he quickly discovered that the sky had darkened. In the middle of the cliff, the cold wind was gradually getting stronger, whistling in his ears.
Every night in the canyon, the temperature would suddenly drop, not to mention that this was a cliff. At this time, his stomach was still empty. When night came, he would be cold and hungry. It would be even more difficult to endure.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaotian searched around the ten feet square rock. Finally, his gaze fell on a spot of withered yellow between the vines growing on the cliff. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
He pulled out his dagger and walked to the vines. He pushed aside the green leaves on the outside, revealing many withered vines.
"They should be vines that have grown here for many years and finally withered. I can use them to make a fire and warm my body. It won't be so difficult to endure at night."
Kacha! Lu Xiaotian swung his dagger and cut off a vine. Just as he was about to reach out and grab the cut vine, a soft hissing sound made the hair on his back stand on end.
Lu Xiaotian retracted his left hand as fast as lightning. He took a closer look and found that there was a mottled yellow and green grass snake among the withered vines. It was sticking out its scarlet tongue at him. The triangular snake head was constantly retracting. This grass snake was hidden in the vines. If it hadn't attacked and stayed motionless, it would have been difficult to discover it.
Lu Xiaotian inwardly cried out that it was a close call. If he hadn't cultivated the [Primeval Chaos Scripture] and his senses were much more sensitive than before, he probably would have been bitten by this unknown grass snake.
After escaping from the pursuit of the wolves with great difficulty, he had almost died in the snake's mouth. This canyon was truly incomparably dangerous. If he wasn't careful, he could encounter unknown dangers.
The grass snake slithered out from between the vines, revealing its body that was thicker than an arm. The grass snake angrily raised its triangular head. It closed in on the intruder.
Lu Xiaotian narrowed his eyes. Some of the predators in the forest had a strong sense of territory. It seemed that he had intruded into the territory of this grass snake.
However, he was already at the end of his rope. This protruding rock was only about ten square feet. There was simply no way to avoid it. Since that was the case, he could only fight with all his might.
Hiss! The grass snake hissed and bit at Lu Xiaotian's face. Lu Xiaotian hurriedly shook his head to avoid it. At the same time, he waved the dagger that he had already grasped.
With a low sound, the triangular snake head fell to the ground. The grass snake's body twisted between the vines for a while before it fell, blood gushing out.
Lu Xiaotian untied his backpack and took out the small iron pot and salt. Then he picked up the snake's body from the ground as if he had found a treasure. After draining the blood, he deftly peeled off the snake's skin and cut it into dozens of small pieces. He threw them into the iron pot.
Then he carefully pulled out the withered vines from between the green vines. After a little tidying, he used a flint to ignite the fire and directly fried the snake. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough water. Otherwise, it would be even more delicious if he made a snake soup. Fortunately, the fog in the canyon was heavy. Every morning, there would be a lot of dew on the leaves, so he wouldn't die of thirst.
Lu Xiaotian's belly bulged. He rubbed it. It seemed that he would have to spend the night here. There was no one to feed the little green ants in the cave. He estimated that there wouldn't be many left after he returned.
Lu Xiaotian shook his head and smiled bitterly. He secretly mocked himself. In this situation, it was still unknown whether he could return or not. Unexpectedly, he was still in the mood to worry about the little green ants in the cave. The black-robed old man didn't have a shred of humanity. He also wasn't interested in teaching him. It was fine if he didn't return to that dry cave. He didn't want to be whipped when he returned. The black-robed old man was very heavy-handed. Last time, the whip almost killed him.
I won't go back! Lu Xiaotian silently made this decision.
