Thankfully, it wasn't those ferocious beasts. They were only wolves. Zhuo WeiTing still had a few confidence points.
Picking up the sharpened wooden arrow, Zhuo Wei Ting sneered. While the fire was raging, he took the opportunity to roast some meat.
Zhuo Weitang had already observed the night before. It should be a pack of wolves, about nine in total.
To be honest, even if he took the initiative to make them breakfast, it would not be enough for them to eat. So, it would be better to just eat them.
Although this was a seaside area, the trees on the island were lush. In case of danger, humans were much more agile than wolves. In a large tree, a person's sensitivity was much better. If not, they could climb the tree first.
Zhuo Weitang aimed at the target and rushed forward with the wooden arrow in his hand. He wanted to take the initiative and attack, otherwise, the one being eaten would be him.
He had two wooden arrows in his hand, and the rest were stuck in his waist. When used like this, it would be easier to pick them up.
The first strike was very important. If he couldn't shock them, then he would be the one to die.
Zhuo WeiTing's wooden arrow shot out and he used the first move to attack to the east and west. The wolf that pretended to be attacking ran away, but the target was pierced by Zhuo WeiTing's arrow just in time.
After the successful attack, all the wolves ran away. However, the wolf in Zhuo Weitang's hands didn't die immediately. Instead, it began to fight with Zhuo Weitang and attacked him like a madman.
Without panicking, Zhuo Weitang dodged and at the same time, stabbed the other one into the wolf's body. Then, he leapt forward and sat on the back of the wolf.
As he listened to the howls of the wolves, Zhuo WeiTing was overjoyed at his victory. It seemed that these beasts weren't that scary after all. The rest of the wolves stood aside and looked at him from afar. After a long while, they left under the lead of the head wolf.
Zhuo Weiting knew that wolves were the most scheming and resentful animals in the world, but for now, he decided to do as he was told.
The wolf's skin was thick enough, so it wasn't realistic to use branches to cut the meat. However, there wasn't much to pay attention to now.
Originally, he wanted to take off the wolf skin and make some clothes, but it was a little cold at night here. He had to wear the entire hide because he didn't have any tools.
This wolf had wasted most of his day. After he had eaten his fill, he began to think about how he could survive on this island.
He also knew that the rest of the wolves might be watching him right now, and that he would have to find a better place to stay before nightfall.
The further in they went, the harder the road became to walk on. Vines wrapped around branches, blocking their way. Although they had made a simple tool out of stone, they were unable to open a path.
The sky was getting dark, and Zhuo WeiTing didn't dare to move forward after hearing the howls of the wolves. He first climbed the tree, cut off some vines, and then found two towering trees. He decisively made a hammock between the two trees.
By the time he finished making the hammock, the forest had already started to glow with a faint green light. He did not dare to go down any further. Fortunately, the roasted wolf meat had a leg on it, so he was not afraid of starving.
Lying in the hammock, looking at the wolf pack that lived under the tree, Zhuo Weiting felt somewhat proud of himself.
It was like challenging them.
"You animals, if it wasn't for the fact that I don't have a weapon, I would have sent you to God long ago."
The wolves were too noisy, making him uneasy, but there was no way he could resist his sleepiness.
He wrapped himself in vines around a tree bed and slowly entered a dream. In the dream, he saw Yan'er. Yan'er was the most beautiful in her wedding dress, but he hadn't even gotten married yet.
The thing that annoyed him the most was that he didn't know who sent him to this damned place.
No matter what, he had to live well, one day, there would be a ship passing by. No matter what, he had to leave this place alive and return to Yan'er.
Tomorrow, tomorrow he would try it out and see if he could find a way to return.
When he woke up, the sky was already bright. The wolves under the trees had already left, but Zhuo Wei Ting felt that their eyes were staring at him.
Fortunately, they were in the dense forest and they couldn't group up to attack. However, Zhuo WeiTing didn't dare to be careless. No matter what, they were still hidden dangers. If he relaxed even a bit, they would probably pounce on him.
During the day, Zhuo WeiTing continued to search for a way out of the forest. He knew that there was no turning back, the pack of wolves were right behind him. As long as he turned back, he would never see Yan'er again.
However, there were more and more vines in front of him, and he was no longer able to move forward.
Moreover, there were vipers among these vines. He almost got bitten several times.
Looking at the wall of vines in front of him, Zhuo Weiting was on the verge of collapse. It was almost dark, and the wolves were howling right behind him. He had no choice but to light a resin torch on his body.
He tried to roast the vines with a torch, but the vines were alive and couldn't be heated by such a small fire.
The furious Zhuo WeiTing roared.
He used his foot to kick the vine. Was he really going to be trapped to death in this broken place?
He hadn't seen their child be born, hadn't had a honeymoon with Yan'er yet, hateful, he didn't expect his meticulous arrangement to go wrong.
"Whooosh."
Just as Zhuo WeiTing was howling, a loud noise came from behind the vine.
Surprised, Zhuo WeiTing quickly stopped and pulled on the vine.
As the vines shrunk, he saw a dark hole behind him.
He took a few steps back. The cave entrance was eerie and terrifying, a bit creepy.
His first thought was, could this be the cave of some wild beast?
But behind him, the howling of the wolves was getting closer and closer. There was no time for him to hesitate.
Gritting his teeth and harboring the thought of never dying, he stepped into the gloomy cave.
He pulled some vines to cover the entrance of the cave and used a torch to light it carefully.
On the left side of the cave entrance, there was a malevolent looking stone sculpture. It looked like a skeleton, but also like a devil. Fragments of information flashed through his mind. Following the finger imprint on his brain, his hand inserted itself into the skeleton's eye.
"Whooosh."
The cave entrance closed behind him. It turned out to be an intricate secret door. Zhuo Weiting's nervous heart instantly relaxed.
As the stone door slowly descended, Zhuo Weitang saw the faint green light behind the vines.
He smirked and roared, pointing at the green light.
"Hahaha …" "Wolf brats, come in if you have the guts."
"Bang …"
Awoo —
Just as the stone door was about to fall, a wolf really did run over. However, its speed was not as fast as the door, so it died honorably. Its blood even splashed onto Zhuo WeiTing's feet.
Looking at the closed stone door, Zhuo Weiting felt a lot more at ease. Although he didn't know what he was facing up against, at least the threat of the wolf pack was lifted.
He went up to push on the stone door and found that he couldn't move it at all, so he didn't have to worry.
They believed that no matter how cunning the wolves were, they would not be able to do anything, unless they had reached the acme of perfection.
He held the torch and tried to walk inside. Unexpectedly, there were forks in the cave. Zhuo WeiTing observed carefully, and surprisingly, there were still lamps on the cave wall. He tried to light them up.
So it was all resin-like fuel inside. Zhuo Weiting was overjoyed and ignited all the lamps on the stone wall.
At this moment, he had a feeling that this island was not as desolate as he had imagined. Although this was a natural cave, it clearly had its own processing.
However, he was a bit confused. If there was someone here before, why hadn't he seen anyone, not even a savage, in the past few days?
Looking at the fork in the road in front of him, he chose the left path.
After walking a few meters inside, his eyes lit up. Although there was no light, there was light inside. His heart was beating wildly. Could this be the legendary pirate treasure? He held the torch and shone it on the floor. The floor was filled with jewels and gold coins.
"Oh, God, is this where the pirates keep their treasures?"
Zhuo Weitang could not believe what he was looking at. Although he had a lot of assets, they were but numbers to him.
The dazzling jewelry and gold coins in front of him still left him in shock.
He did not touch those things. In his eyes, they were only wealth. He already had enough, so he did not need these dead things.
However, it was strange. Under normal circumstances, there would be dead people's bones. Why was it that there weren't any bones in this place?
He rummaged among the jewels with a torch.
Other than the jewelry, there was nothing else here. Zhuo Wei Ting refused to give up. Since they were pirates, how could they not have some weapons?
Turning his head, Zhuo WeiTing walked to the other side with the torch in hand.
These jewels meant nothing to him. What he wanted were tools, the hope of leaving this damned place alive.
The one on the right was smaller, but it gave Zhuo Weiting hope.
This place was filled with weapons, and the moment he stepped through the door, he could feel a chill.
There were those with gorgeous decorations, while there were others who looked very simple.
Zhuo WeiTing stuck the torch into the wall and pounced over in surprise.
There was a knife, a sword, and a dagger. These things were what he wanted. He even found expensive golden clothes in a box.
Zhuo Wei Ting was wild with joy. When he opened the box in the corner, he found that there was still some delicious wine.
"It seems that the Heavens also don't want me to die. With these things, he doesn't believe that we can't leave this place. Even if he were to build his own ship, I would have to leave this place."
Regardless of whether the wine was poisonous or not, Zhuo Weiting opened a bottle and drank it immediately.
Smelling the wine, his thoughts returned to the day of the wedding, the day when the electricity was cut off, causing him to be caught off guard. Before he knew what had happened, he was knocked out.
The memory of what followed was in the dim cabin.
The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. He drank one bottle after another until he finally passed out in the treasure trove.
When he woke up, the torches were already there, only the wall lights were still on.
His head was heavy, but he didn't feel any pain. However, these wines here were all fine wine. Taking them out would probably sell for tens of thousands per bottle. Unfortunately, he drank up nearly ten bottles in one go.
Zhuo Weitang put on his expensive golden clothes and equipped himself with all the weapons he could carry. Knives, swords and daggers were stabbed all over his body.
After finishing all the preparations, Zhuo WeiTing walked towards the cave entrance. With weapons in hand, he was no longer afraid of the wolves.
He had to get rid of them all in one fell swoop when he went out this time.
When he reached the door, Zhuo WeiTing thought for a moment before putting on his helmet. Although it was a bit heavy, it could at least protect his head.
As soon as the stone door opened, a wolf howled and rushed in. Fortunately, Zhuo Wei Ting Sword was in his hand, so he decisively swung the sword.
