Early in the morning, Chu Feng woke up from his meditation. At this moment, the little wolf also opened its hazy eyes. It was using its front paws to wipe its eyes. It looked extremely adorable.
Chu Feng smiled and patted the little wolf's head. He did not seem to be in love with it at all.
Suddenly, the wolf cub broke free from Chu Feng's embrace and jumped off the tree. Chu Feng was taken aback by this. However, when he saw the wolf cub standing firmly on the ground, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
The wolf cub whimpered at Chu Feng, turned around, and ran away.
Chu Feng looked at the wolf cub's leaving figure with a bit of confusion, not knowing what to do.
Could it be that this little guy was going to leave like this?
For a moment, his heart ached.
But the thought that it had its choice made it clear that it should have its freedom.
But Chu Feng still waited on the tree for a long time, waiting for its return.
It was noon. Chu Feng floated down from the tree and laughed at himself. "It seems that I am still a person after all!" He was still a little disappointed when he still hadn't returned even though he was at the bottom of the line.
At this moment, the sunlight shone down onto the earth and dispelled the trace of haze in Chu Feng's heart.
He took a deep breath. After the morning treatment, his body had fully recovered. He sighed and said, "I didn't expect the prehistoric era to be so good …" Before Chu Feng even finished speaking, the sound of wolf howls rang out next to his ears. He couldn't help but furrow his brows as he looked around. He noticed that there were quite a few wolves under the tree. He couldn't help but ask where so many wolves had come from. However, in the blink of an eye, he was connected to the cub.
The ten wolves stopped at the place where Chu Feng had fought the four wolves yesterday.
The lead wolf raised its head and intentionally glanced at the tree that Chu Feng was sitting on. Then, it howled and ran away.
After the wolf had left, Chu Feng floated down from the tree.
After landing, he could not help but feel that his clothes were somewhat wet.
Just now, the wolf tightly glanced at Chu Feng and already gave him such a huge pressure. If they were to fight, perhaps … Upon thinking of this, Chu Feng felt a bit of lingering fear.
But in the blink of an eye, he seemed to recall something. Chu Feng couldn't help but ask himself a bit panickedly, "Just now, didn't they leave towards the direction in which the young wolf left earlier?"
At that moment, Chu Feng was a bit speechless. He muttered, "Just what did that little guy provoke? Why are there so many mature wolves chasing it?!"
There was no lack of experts among them. For example, the wolf leader earlier was at least several levels taller than Chu Feng. Otherwise, Chu Feng would not have been so scared to the point of perspiration all over his body just because of his gaze.
Now, Chu Feng finally understood why the wolf cub had left like that in the morning. So this little fellow was afraid of implicating him! For a moment, he couldn't help but feel moved.
He didn't expect that the little fellow would be so understanding. Looks like he didn't save it yesterday for nothing.
But in the blink of an eye, Chu Feng started to worry for the life of the wolf cub.
Finally, Chu Feng helplessly smiled and said, "It's better to let nature take its course!" After all, natural selection!
After tidying up his mood, Chu Feng headed towards the north. It had already been two days, and if he could not come tomorrow, the blacksmith would likely be worried.
However, when Chu Feng went north, the wolf cub was lingering on the edge of life and death.
At this moment, it was drinking water by the river, trying to ease the anxiety of the scorching sun. However, it did not know that danger was approaching it step by step. Feeling full, the wolf cub could not help but lie down by the river to rest. After all, he had been on the run for the whole morning, so he was a little tired.
Suddenly, the wolf cub stood up and looked at the grass warily.
As he looked at the green grass, his body couldn't help but tremble. His legs couldn't help but retreat one step at a time.
"Aooo."
A burst of fierce wolf howls sounded in the forest.
On the other hand, the wolf cub was suddenly in a bit of a panic, but he quickly made his choice.
He then jumped into the river and dived into the water.
In its memory, water can isolate the smell, so it chose to enter the water.
Not long after the young wolf jumped into the water, a few robust adult wolves ran out from the grass.
Seeing that his target had disappeared, the leader of the pack howled twice.
The wolves following behind him heard the sound and immediately scattered.
As the young wolf was fleeing for its life, Chu Feng was leisurely enjoying the scenery around him. He didn't know that the little guy he only met once was lingering on the edge of death.
He instantly recalled what the book had said: There are extremely rare heavenly materials in this primitive world.
At that moment, Chu Feng couldn't help feeling a bit of that. Along the way, he would spend most of his time studying strange plants, asking himself if they were legendary treasures.
However, in the end, Chu Feng had to give up on those thoughts. The reason for that was because they did not have the Ancient Era's Beast Overseers beside them like the books had said.
Many years later, when Chu Feng became a great alchemist and recalled how he treated the dogtail grass as a treasure when he was young, he couldn't help but find it a bit funny.
As they walked northward, the sun gradually set.
Chu Feng was only able to find a place to rest for the night. After all, it was not wise to travel at night through this vast and unfamiliar land.
The sun had set and Chu Feng woke up from his meditation. He felt a bit of hunger in his stomach and he couldn't help but go towards the stream. Today, the Lunar Entrance was very dark, and it was hazy and a bit dim.
Just as Chu Feng was getting close to the brook, the howls of the wolves suddenly came through, disrupting Chu Feng's train of thought.
At that moment, he seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly moved closer to the voice.
But at the end, Chu Feng was disappointed. After the howling of the wolf just now, the ground became peaceful again. He himself could not determine which direction.
The disappointed Chu Feng couldn't help walking everywhere, hoping to discover something.
However, the surroundings were completely empty. Nothing could be seen, so the feeling of loss grew even stronger.
After walking along the river for some time, he didn't notice the howls of the wolves and couldn't help but focus on the herring in the river.
He pushed off his coat and jumped down. Very quickly, Chu Feng caught two fat herring fish from the river.
Their fat bodies were shaking non-stop, causing ripples on the surface.
At that moment, Chu Feng came out of the water. He breathed a sigh of relief on the surface of the water and said, "Today's luck is quite good."
He then swam towards the water's edge.
At the same time, a tiny figure swam towards the river.
However, Chu Feng did not discover any of this. In his eyes, there were only the two fat and tender herring.
Once on shore, Chu Feng used his energy to evaporate the remaining water on his body. After putting on his clothes, he walked towards the two herring fish that were jumping about.
Just as Chu Feng squatted down, his ears twitched and he hurriedly turned around to look at the river in the darkness.
Because he felt something approaching the shore.
At night, Chu Feng's pitch-black pupils flashed with a trace of light. He who was not moving at all was half-squatting there and silently waiting for the unknown organism to come close. Then, he prepared to give it a fatal strike.
In a short while, the creature climbed onto the shore. Chu Feng's body shrunk slightly, and the golden core in his dantian also followed it and channeled energy outwards.
Although the time taken was very short, Chu Feng felt that it had been over half a century.
That was because the unknown organism had been standing at the shore the entire time without the slightest intention of approaching. Chu Feng was a bit at a loss as to what to do.
Because the unknown creature hadn't entered his attack range yet and wasn't able to kill him in one hit, Chu Feng could only silently wait. However, in his heart, he was a bit impatient.
When the sunlight from the next day arrived from the east, Chu Feng, with the weak sunlight, finally saw the creatures that he faced for an entire night.
In that instant, Chu Feng fiercely stamped the ground, then walked towards the river.
Last night, it happened to be a moonlit night that was rarely seen. As the name implied, the moon was very dim and there was almost no light coming from the moon.
No matter how much better Chu Feng's eyesight was, he was unable to clearly see anything in front of his eyes. So, what happened last night happened.
Wasn't that the wolf cub that had escaped this morning, the unknown creature that couldn't be moved that night by the water's edge?
Chu Feng gently stroked the young wolf cub whose body was still a bit wet and couldn't help but smile. In his heart, he thought, "You made me worry for nothing."
But, in the blink of an eye, thinking of the depressed things that happened last night, Chu Feng couldn't help being a bit speechless. Last night, he had been like this as a guard for an entire night.
However, when he saw that the wolf cub's fur had fallen off from its body, he felt some pain in his heart, causing him to feel pity for the wolf cub.
Although they had only met once, the kindness and cuteness of the wolf cub had already won Chu Feng's trust.
A ray of sunlight scattered onto Chu Feng's body. At this moment, Chu Feng made up his mind. No matter how big the storm might be in the future, he had to protect it well.
Somehow, looking at this wolf cub who was running for his life made him think of the hardships he had suffered when he was young. He was filled with emotion and felt that he was like a man who had fallen to the ends of the earth!
Perhaps the little wolf was simply too tired. When Chu Feng held it in his bosom, it was still peacefully sleeping with not the slightest bit of movement. This was simply out of place with its vigilant demeanor.
Holding onto the wolf cub and the two herring fish, Chu Feng found an empty space and sat down.
As Chu Feng roasted the fish, he looked to the young wolf cub who was sleeping soundly.
Just as Chu Feng was at a loss, the young wolf suddenly stood up and vigilantly looked at its surroundings.
When he saw the bare-chested young man, his vigilant eyes softened. He whimpered twice, as if greeting him again.
The grilled fish in Chu Feng's big hand was thrown to the wolf cub. It was not polite and quickly finished it off. Then, it looked pitifully at the two bites of the fish in Chu Feng's hand.
At first, Chu Feng could ignore it, but as time passed, Chu Feng could not bear the threat from its gaze and he had no choice but to throw the fish in his hand to it.
The wolf cub didn't hold back and continued to tear and bite as much as he wanted.
Several hours later, the wolf cub stood up. His expression was clearly much better than it had been in the morning.
He looked to Chu Feng, then stood up and prepared to leave.
Seeing this scene, Chu Feng's heart couldn't help but ache. It was about to leave again.
Chu Feng was unable to accept that fact. Although he knew that the wolf cub was doing this for his own good, he still felt a faint pain in his heart.
The reason for that was because the first time Chu Feng saw the wolf cub, he determined that they were of the same tragic existence.
As he looked at its figure that was going there, Chu Feng did not dare to imagine how it managed to escape the pursuers.
Because the fur that fell off the wolf cub's body, Chu Feng knew that it was definitely a tragic battle.
For some reason, after seeing the wolf cub's figure gradually leave, Chu Feng's eyes couldn't help but feel a bit warm.
After a moment of blankness, Chu Feng stood up and chased after them.
As the wolf cub turned his gaze back to Chu Feng, Chu Feng took on a watchful expression. Both he and the wolf cub were able to read each other's gazes. In the end, the wolf cub stopped for a moment before obediently walking back.
Seeing the actions of the wolf cub, Chu Feng's steps couldn't help quickening.
In the blink of an eye, the wolf cub returned to Chu Feng's side.
Squatting down, Chu Feng hugged the wolf cub and patted its head in pleasure.
Suddenly, the wolf cub broke free from Chu Feng's embrace and looked into the depths of the jungle with vigilance.
Seeing the wolf cub's nervous appearance, Chu Feng knew that the wolf cub that was chasing him had arrived. He said without the slightest hesitation, "Let's go. We've escaped."
The wolf cub seemed to have heard Chu Feng's words and whined twice. It seemed that its sorrowful voice was filled with all sorts of apologies.
However, Chu Feng only smiled and did not say anything. He only quietly followed behind the wolf cub.
Soon, the wolf cub brought Chu Feng to the riverside. Seeing that, an expression of praise couldn't help but appear on Chu Feng's face. He never would have thought that he understood quite a bit.
