Su Chen was woken up by the warm sunlight. He sat up with sleepy eyes and looked at his phone. It was already 12 o’clock.

He was a little hungry, but there was nothing to eat around him. It seemed that he had to leave this pit quickly and think of a way to leave this deserted island.

He took out the climbing tools he got from the treasure chest. There were some tools such as ropes and hooks which he quickly equipped himself with. Fortunately, although he was not good at some sports in the real world, he had accompanied his ex-girlfriend—a person who loved outdoor sports—to participate in a lot of research.

Su Chen climbed out of the cave with ease. First, he observed the surrounding environment to see if there were any risks. When he found that the surroundings were very quiet, Su Chen relaxed. He touched the gun on his waist, and after tying up the rope, he took the ax and went deep into the forest.

If he wanted to leave this place, he had to first have a way to cross the sea. Therefore, Su Chen’s first reaction was to build a raft. It was most practical to use the resources available on the deserted island.

Soon, he found a few trees that were just right in thickness. He began to chop the trees. After processing the wood, he used the rock climbing tools to reinforce the wood. Soon, it was time for the sun to set.

Fortunately, the raft was almost finished. Su Chen found a pile of leaves, covered the raft, and hid it. He began to look for a place to rest tonight because he had already used all the climbing tools on the raft. It was possible to go back to the pit, but he was afraid of encountering any dangerous creatures again. Although he had a weapon now, he still had to try to avoid danger.

He searched and continued to move forward. He did not know if it was luck or something else, but he soon saw a cave. The cave was not deep and he could see the end of it at a glance. However, the light was starting to dim and he could not see everything clearly.

Su Chen hesitated. After thinking for a while, he turned on the flashlight on his phone and walked in. The environment inside was much better than he had imagined. When he reached the deepest part of the cave, Su Chen suddenly felt an ominous premonition. In the quiet cave, he could actually hear faint breathing sounds, the kind of breathing that was different from that of a human. Could it be that he had encountered another strange creature?

Su Chen did not dare to approach and explore. He began to slowly retreat. However, halfway through, there was movement in the corner of the cave. He could clearly feel that the creature was approaching him. Su Chen slowly shone the flashlight in the direction of the movement. Upon closer inspection, it was a white wolf.

Its fur was snow-white. The way it looked at him was not fierce, but instead, it felt like the wolf was afraid of him. It stood vigilantly and did not move. Su Chen’s eyes were staring at the white wolf. He could not sense that it was about to attack and he even felt that the white wolf looked very weak. Therefore, Su Chen began to carefully observe it and soon found that there was red liquid oozing out from the abdomen of its snow-white fur. It was blood. The wolf was injured.

Su Chen began to put the ax in his hand on the ground. He raised his palm to show that he did not have the intention to attack it. The white wolf seemed to understand what Su Chen meant and also began to retreat. It no longer stood vigilantly. It shrank back to its original position and lay down as it began to close its eyes.

Su Chen saw that it retreated to the side, so he also retreated in the opposite direction to sit in another corner. After he had settled his things, he found a comfortable position and began to rest. Just as he closed his eyes, he felt that something was wrong, so he opened his eyes again and listened carefully. He found that the white wolf’s breathing had turned into a kind of whimpering sound. It seemed to be in great pain.

Should he save it? Su Chen began to calculate the risk of doing so. Now that he had an ax, he was also very hungry. If he could not successfully use the raft to leave this place tomorrow, there was no reason to let go of this food, but…

The rational villain in him kept urging him to kill the white wolf. Even if he did not kill it, he did not have much confidence that he could cure it.

So, he stood up and approached the white wolf. This time, the white wolf no longer had the strength to stand up and warn him. It seemed that the situation was very serious. He walked quickly to its side. Seeing its dying appearance, he thought of a dog that his grandmother had raised when he was young. That dog also had snow-white fur, and it had accompanied him for a long time during his childhood. At that moment, he decided to think of a way to save it no matter what.

He squatted down. Although he did not know if the white wolf could understand him, he still said just to be safe, “I’m here to save you. Don’t move.”

The white wolf opened its eyes and looked at him, unmoving. Using his hand to push away the fur on its abdomen, Su Chen found that it was a claw wound. The wound was very deep and blood kept flowing out.

After observing the wound, he walked out of the cave and used a big leaf to hold some water, wanting to rinse the wound for the white wolf. However, the wound was too deep. It was definitely useless to just wash it.

So, Su Chen knocked on his phone,

“Xiao Yuan, search for herbs that can treat the wound.”

“Okay, Master. Xiao Yuan will search for you now… Master, a total of two hundred herb illustrations have been found. Do you want to see them?”

200 types? It was too difficult to search according to the pattern of the pictures. However, there was no other way at the moment. He could only hope that he was lucky.

Just like that, the sky was completely dark. Su Chen did not dare to turn on the flashlight on his phone. He could only rely on himself to open his eyes wide to look carefully. If he turned on his flashlight in the dark environment, it was undoubtedly telling other creatures that there was a target that they could attack.

After searching for a while, he had already picked a lot of plants that looked like medicinal herbs. He planned to return to the cave to get Xiao Yuan to identify them one by one.

When he returned to the cave, the white wolf’s whimpering sound had become very weak, as if it had lost all signs of life. Su Chen hurriedly approached it. The white wolf’s body temperature had also become very cold.

“Xiao Yuan, can you help identify these plants?”

“Yes, Master.”

The AI figurine began to scan the plants on the ground until Xiao Yuan made a dripping sound.

“Master, I’ve identified the Prunella. Its function is to reduce inflammation and stop bleeding.”

Su Chen let out a sigh of relief. He picked up the Prunella and began to grind it with a stone, grinding it into a paste.

Fortunately, when he was pursuing his ex-girlfriend, he had accompanied her to participate in outdoor sports and suffered a lot of injuries. He had treated all of them himself, so he knew a thing or two about this kind of wound dressing.

He skillfully cleaned the wound first, then smeared the medicine on it. Finally, he tore a piece of his clothes and barely covered the bleeding wound of the white wolf..
