Survival In the World of Beasts

Feeling the hot temperature of Baihu's body and the fact that it was almost half unconscious, Li Shizhen was shocked and immediately got up and started the bonfire again.

He couldn't help but secretly blame himself for his carelessness. Bai Hu was injured only yesterday. The cave was so humid, and besides having eaten so much bear meat last night, it was considered healthy by burning it now.

The worried Li Zhixun once again remembered when the white tiger was overworked in the jungle, whether the root of the disease was left at that time, or something was infected by eating something recently. Under such backward conditions, there is no way to check it. There is no way to judge, it feels too bad to rely on the big cat to carry it by himself.

With the light of the fire, Li Zhizheng checked the physical condition of the big cat again. It was indeed feverish. After thinking about the way humans would deal with it, Li Zhizhen found out the bear skin that had just been peeled off before being cleaned and laid it on the ground. After finally pushing the white tiger up, Li Shizhao was so tired that his head was sweating profusely. It happened that the black bear was a circle bigger than him, covering half of it and half of it.

The bonfire was finally warmer, and Li Shizhao’s bonfire moved a little closer, and he was afraid that it would accidentally burn himself when he fell asleep, so he didn't dare to put it too close.

Li Shizhao carefully took out the bamboo tube on his body and prepared to feed it some water, but it was a bit difficult. This white tiger was sleeping on its side. How to feed it? He had no experience in feeding such a large animal.

In desperation, he turned out a bamboo tube, cut through both ends, and prepared it to feed water, otherwise the white tiger's mouth was so big, it is estimated that he would leak while feeding the other.

He gently pushed Bai Hu's head, it was really hot, and patted some water on its forehead to cool it down anyway.

It seemed that I was a little more comfortable with the coolness. Dabai gave a soft "wheeze", his eyelids trembled but did not open, and his voice was faint like a little milk cat. It was not as vigorous as usual. This is true. It's a sick cat.

It was the first time that Li Shizhao saw this white tiger so weak and helpless. He was injured, had a high fever, and was in a coma.

After sighing, he patted the water under his armpit a little more, checked his paws, but the swelling disappeared a bit. It seems that the trauma is really not a big problem. The trouble is how to retreat and rehydrate. Yes, but there will be no problem with cold water. Forget it, it's better to warm it up slightly, and he set up the pot to boil the water again.

If this kind of fever is in the human society, you would probably drink some nutritious broth and porridge, but this is a tiger, not a human, and it is a big cat that is different from the tiger species on earth.

Li Shizhen was a little embarrassed, but anyway, fever is indeed the body’s immune system fighting, and supplementing some nutrients is necessary. Now I don’t know if the Tyrannosaurus outside has left, and Li Shizhen has no way to go hunting and gathering. It seems that only those materials are used in advance.

He flipped through his backpack and Baihu's backpack again. Most of his bags contained necessities and emergency supplies. In addition to weapons, meteor claws, short knives, pocket knives, and necessary items, purple hibiscus, blue diamond, lighter, salt, etc. There are fragments of candies and some ground bone meat powder, which are things that replenish a lot of energy in extreme situations.

Baihu's bag is mainly jerky and sweets that it likes to eat ==

The sweets are okay, but let’s forget about the meat.

These things can be left untouched, but the situation of the tiger is really worrying, it seems that these things need to be used in advance.

Li Shizhao took a look at the bear meat left over yesterday. Yesterday he only dried it slightly for storage. He didn't do any more processing. It's better to use bear bones to make the soup, and boil it for more time.

Seeing that the water was almost boiled, Li Shizhao let it cool a bit, and took a bowl to the side of the white tiger.

He put Baihu's head on his knees and touched his ears slightly. It was still hotter than usual. Moisturizing and warmth were necessary. He patted Baihu's head lightly. The bamboo tube was not sharp. Put one end of it into its mouth for fear that it might choke, so I can only feed it slowly.

The sharp teeth of cats refracted sharp light under the campfire, but its owner closed his eyes drowsily. It seemed that he was struggling to breathe. Li Shizhen sighed, worried.

Fortunately, it could still swallow by itself, and slowly fed a lot of water in, and Li Shizhao finally put a snack on it.

Leave it to sleep on the bear skin. After covering it, Li Shizhao used a piece of animal skin to apply cold compresses to it. The hot temperature just made it difficult for him to completely let the white tiger's immunity to fight.

But looking at the water in the bamboo bucket, Li Shizhen found it difficult to hold it for too long. Seeing the water droplets on the top of the cave, he thought about it and found a long branch to tie the animal skin over the top of the cave, unexpectedly. Can completely wet animal skins.

While he felt that a small amount of water could be collected in the cave, he was worried that such a humid environment would not be conducive to the recovery of the white tiger, and he was entangled in it.

Finally, he put the animal skin on the white tiger's forehead and burned the fire more vigorously, and decided to fill the white tiger with hot soil from time to time to make it warmer.

After busying for a while and finally simply handling the white tiger, Li Shizhao stewed the bear bones and bear meat in a pot of soup, and he was going to stay longer to replenish the white tiger's body.

What we need to worry about now is how to spend the days when a big cat is raising an injury. At least we must ensure its nutrition and a good recovery environment. I hope it can get better soon.

Li Shizhen sighed and decided to take a look at the entrance of the cave. The female dragon that approached the woods and left didn’t know if it was still there. If the female dragon left, at least he would still have a chance to go out to draw water, hunt, gather or something. There is so much fresh food and water for Baihu to make something nutritious—

The weather is getting drier every day, and the herbivores crossing the river are becoming scarcer every day. Not only are the food sources of the water hegemons dwindling, the rivers they live on are also gradually drying up, which means that their own survival is also affected by the harsh nature. Threatening.

At this time, the wide river flowing is no longer clear water, but muddy mud. Despite this, this river is still very attractive to all the surrounding animals that have not left.

Because there is no more water around, the whole land is dry, and the wind blowing brings not coolness, but a terrible dry heat and flying dust. The whole grassland is only scattered green, a piece of withered, just like a desert.

The number of animals crossing the river is decreasing, and there are fewer successful crossings. Of course, the water hegemon who faces threats will not let go of any food, any chance of survival.

They no longer even focus on the animals crossing the river, and those who want to rub some water on the edge of the mud have not been let go. From time to time, they can see huge bodies that can jump up to several meters high and huge palates that are one or two meters long. They even left the middle of the river and ventured into an ambush in the mud at the edge of the river.

At this time, the predators crossing the river are small group predators who are very adaptable to harsh environments. They can usually eat any part of their prey. They fight in groups and are extremely vicious, otherwise they cannot wait until now to cross the river.

These small but fierce animals have even successfully hunted down a water overlord who was buried in the mud. More than a dozen of the same races who were killed by the water overlord, or even shot to death, were even eaten by themselves, let alone the water overlord. In the end, only a snow-white skeleton was left, and the smaller bones and internal organs were not let go.

For Li Shizhao on the other side, this is almost a desperate fact.

For several days, Bai Hu had been in a coma with a fever. The two tyrannosaurus had been entangled in the past few days. Li Shizhao could not go out at all, and their materials in the cave were almost exhausted. Li Shizhao tried every means to save materials and did not support. How long, after all, Baihu needs to supplement his nutrition during his illness, and Li Shizhao cannot save his food no matter how much he saves.

And now although the Tyrannosaurus seems to have left, the surrounding environment is getting worse and worse. The river is so dangerous that almost all predators are wandering in groups, and scavengers of raptors hover in the sky, not only eating grass. Animals, even carnivores are hungry now. Those small predators have green eyes when they see Li Shitong, which makes it extremely difficult for him to hunt, gather and draw water.

Li Shizhao was very anxious about Baihu's condition. He had no idea whether Baihu's physical condition was recently overworked, or he had contracted some disease after being injured, or both. Obviously the sprain on the foot was almost healed, the swelling had subsided, and the bandage had been taken off by Li Zhizhu, and it still had a high fever.

Water and food are decreasing, and even the small woods are showing signs of drying up. The drops of water on the top of the caves are decreasing. If they stay, they will only become more and more dangerous.

But Baihu’s high fever does not go away, and he must continue to physically cool down and replenish water. The only way he knows now is to apply cold compresses with a towel, which also requires water. Except for this semi-dry river, he doesn’t know where to find it. So much water!

At this time, countless predators on the water's edge, and the overlord of the water ambush in the mud, drawing water is simply changing the water with their lives.

This dilemma is driving the anxious Li Shizhao crazy, he must have an idea!

Thinking of the white tiger, who was almost thin and out of shape, Li Shizhao pursed his chapped and bleeding lips. His physical condition cannot be delayed. He still decided to take the risk of drawing water, otherwise the white tiger had no way to cool down. Its high fever lasted too long. Even without any medical knowledge, Li Zhizhen knew that no matter what animal, such high temperature continued to cause more damage to the body.

It was a group of bird-like dinosaurs preparing to cross the river. While they were fighting with the water overlord to form a ball of blood and mud splashing around, Li Shizhao hurried forward and threw a bamboo bucket. He had no time to see how much water was drawn in the bucket. As soon as the lid of the bucket was plugged, she rushed back holding the bamboo bucket.

Countless predators with green eyes and concerned about the battle in the water were attracted by Li Shizhao. There was no need to look back. Li Shizhao could already hear countless light brushing sounds besides the hot wind.

The predators who chase him are of all kinds, some like jackals and some like birds. Many are only half his size, but they have much faster speed and aggressive minions than him.

Li Shizhao didn't dare to stay, so he could only run as hard as he could. As long as he reached the edge of the small forest, he could go up to the tree and completely get rid of these fly-like predators!

A small dinosaur of unknown species runs the fastest. It jumps and stretches out its claws and grabs behind Li Shixun's back.

Feeling the sound of the wind behind him, Li Shizun did not dare to turn his head, and did not dare to stop. He just vacated a hand to move the shield on his arm behind him, and the huge power from his arm made him stagger!

This animal is so small but has such a great momentum, it can be seen that the speed is so fast!

The fast running also made Li Shizhao a little dizzy. After several days of depriving himself of water, his physical strength was not as good as usual. At this time, he squeezed his potential again, from the brain to the heart and lungs, as if every organ was in sharp pain and protest. .

This staggering almost made Li Shizhao fall to the ground, and he gritted his teeth hard before continuing to stabilize his figure and ran forward.

He breathed desperately, as if he could no longer feel the presence of his legs in every step of his running, but moved forward entirely by the inertia of his legs. He didn't dare to have any thoughts of rest. Once he stopped, He is greeted by the predators.

Li Shizhao, who ran under the tree, was already dim in sight. He fumbled for the rope ladder left on the tree and climbed up through his teeth. His heart was beating like a drum because of the huge burden and lack of blood sugar. His thirsty lips seemed to be Can taste the **** smell of tearing lung lobes.

After finally climbing up to a certain height, Li Shizhao breathed a sigh of relief. He fixed his gaze and looked down. He was almost astonished and fell to his feet. The tree was densely surrounded by at least forty or fifty predators of all kinds. Some seemed to want to go up the rope ladder, and some desperately jumped up and wanted to bite Li Shizun, but they were always far away.

The predators are rubbing and hostile to each other because of the same prey, and I don’t know which one is the first to attack the next competitor. This impact is almost like an offensive horn. In a flash, the bottom becomes like purgatory, hungry for food. The predators began to attack the counterparts beside them, and the predators were bitten off their flesh and blood, and at the same time, they were also biting the predators next to them.

Hunger and thirst make all the predators crazy at the same time, and the smell of blood is still attracting predators from afar to come to this feast of invitations with their lives.

More than a dozen predators were divided and eaten underneath, with blood spattering, and those who were fighting for their flesh and blood even had their kinsmen. Under the extreme pressure of survival, the **** desire for food had already overwhelmed everything.

If it wasn't for Li Shizhao who had just braced and ran up for the last breath, I'm afraid he would be the first one to be eaten.

He didn't dare to stay, such a huge smell of blood was like putting a fragrant cake in front of a group of people who were about to starve to death. I was afraid that it would attract more and more terrifying things. This place was about to become a **** meat grinder.

Putting a piece of candy in his mouth barely recovered some strength. Li Shizun regretfully looked at the flesh and blood underneath. In such a dangerous place, he might not be able to retreat with food all over his body. He swayed among the dense branches and borrowed. Under the cover of the branches, they escaped from the predators in the sky.

Seeing the little soil bag close in front of him, Li Shizhen couldn't help but let go of half of his heart, and finally brought back a little water.

However, Li Shizhen, who stepped on the ground, was too happy. He just pryed open the big rock blocking the entrance of the cave. Before he had time to put down the lever in his hand, a terrible wind hit him, and at the same time there was a sharp scream. .

He turned around and held the terrible claw with a lever in his hand. The bird of prey, which did not know when he started to stare at him, followed all the way in the sky until he was exposed to a relatively empty bag of soil.

At this moment, he couldn't get the weapon on his body at all. He had to use a shield to protect the vitals and the other to use a lever to resist the claws of the bird of prey. It was completely passively beaten.

At this time, there was a call from the sky again, and Li Shizhao's heart was chilled, and there was more than one such bird! In front of him, he had resisted very reluctantly. The lever in his hand could hardly cause strong damage, and the shield could only protect the vital points. The arm holding the lever had already been smashed with blood.

The bird of prey, stimulated by the **** smell, gave a fierce cry, and became more swift, and his wings flapped constantly. Li Shizhen just blocked the paw, and didn't want to prevent the beak from pecking fiercely, and it was about to be on his head. Pecking out a blood hole!

"Roar—" A white shadow flashed out of the hole and slammed down the raptor, which was much smaller than it, and bit on its neck with one bite.

The last struggle of the bird of prey almost made the weak white tiger unable to bite it. Li Shizhen squeezed the spear in his hand and gave it a fierce blow before finally ending the battle.

Seeing the white tiger lying on the ground all the time panting, Li Shizhu's nose was sore, it was probably because he heard the sound of his invincibility that he reluctantly crawled out to help him.

At this time, the white tiger is completely thin and out of shape, with big ice blue eyes deeply sunken, empty fur can be seen under the waist and abdomen, the whole body is dry and without any luster, just a swoop and bite seems to have exhausted it. All the physical strength was average, and he couldn't move for a long time.

The tiger, who was once so strong and lively, is now sick with only a handful of bones, and his physical strength seems to be exhausted. It takes Li Zhizhen to drag the ground to return to the cave. Li Zhizhen, who has always been tough, can't help but choke at this time. Hard to say: "I'm sorry..."

Sorry, I brought the water back so late.

Sorry, I failed to take care of you when you were sick.

I'm sorry, I'm so useless, you have to protect me desperately when you are so weak...

Too much guilt and sadness came over, almost crushing Li Shizheng.

The fur under the palm is hot but dry, far from the usual oily water and slippery, as if the owner's life is like the sand between Li Shixun's fingers, no matter how hard he desperately clenched his palm, there was no way to keep it.

Li Zhizhen hurried out of the cave and brought back the bamboo bucket and the bird of prey. It seemed that he was frightened by the power of Li Zhizhen's spear just now. The bird of prey in the sky hovered far away and did not dare to come down directly.

He went back to the hole in the ground, added some firewood, clarified the water in the bucket slightly, and scooped some of it in the pot to heat it up.

The bamboo pot at this time was tightly covered by him, and even the volatilized water vapor could not be wasted and run away. It was absorbed by a piece of animal skin wrapped in Li Shizhao, but Li Shizhao was not at all assured to let the white tiger drink the water that was not boiled. , Its health is so bad, the safety of drinking water must at least be guaranteed.

When the water became cooler, Li Shizhen filled some in a bamboo bowl. The rest of the water would be used to cook the bird of prey, and the animal skin moistened with water vapor would also be used to cover its forehead.

Li Shizong skillfully put the white tiger's head on his knees. After many days of training, he can now feed the white tiger with water and food without the use of the bamboo tube that has been drilled at both ends.

It was so weak that it had been panting rapidly. The fight just now seemed to have consumed its last accumulated strength. Its paws were only slightly raised, as if it wanted to push Li Shizhao's hand away, but it fell because of lack of strength.

The skinny tiger head arched slightly, and his pale blue eyes were half-open as he watched Li Zhizheng and closed it weakly, as if to tell him not to waste water.

"No..." Li Zhizheng roared, choked up, and gently shook the tiger on his lap. I haven't given up, how can you give up first? !

As if awakened by the despair and pleading of the hoarse growl, Bai Hu barely opened his eyes, it seemed to see the look on his face vaguely, and the mournful pleading made Bai Hu who was so weak that he almost gave up also had to sigh.

It can be imagined in such a difficult dry season, how hard it takes this female to get this water.

Bai Hu seemed to have reluctantly swallowed some warm water, but immediately coughed and vomited out. It was so weak that it was so weak that it could even cough, and he was half-conscious.

Li Shizhen's head holding the tiger wet his eye sockets. He couldn't help but hide his face fiercely. When he lowered his palms, except for a pair of scarlet eyes, he seemed to have suppressed all the weak emotions.

Li Shizhao sorted out his emotions and began to pick up the bird of prey. In any case, he and Baihu must stick to it. They can't give up until the last moment. He can do it, and this white tiger will do it too!

The meat of this bird of prey was stewed rottenly by him, but the white tiger in a coma, let alone chewing, even swallowed a little.

Li Shizhen did not give up, smashed the meat into minced meat, added some salt that he was unwilling to put in the soup after adjusting the soup, and poured it again on Baihu. Baihu who was unable to swallow on his own for countless times caused him to squeeze it. Meat soup, sugar water, and salt water have persisted under such harsh conditions until now.

"Eat some, eat it, everything will be fine." I don't know if I am talking to Bai Hu who is in a coma, or he is cheering for himself, it seems that if he doesn't hypnotize himself like this, even Li Zhizun himself can't hold on.

The time in this dark cave was so long and tormented, the white tiger's daily coma and weight loss almost overwhelmed the young man's last bit of tenacity. But it seems that as long as the dry fur under his palm has a little heat, the young man's last bit of tenacity will never be truly crushed.

The scarlet eyes under the firelight made him look more determined. It seemed that something weak was hardened by the cruel world, and the hard shell was used to prop up a piece of heaven and earth, just for protection. A faint gleam inside—

The predators in the sky, the ground, or in the water were extremely excited that day, even Li Shizhao, who was squatting on the treetops, had the pupils in his bloodshot eyes shrunk slightly because of excitement.

Because he saw a group of tawny herbivores from a distance, resembling cows and sheep, with huge horns nearly two meters long on their heads. In this desperately numb and dry land, no herbivores have been seen for many days. For many days, the predators have survived by hunting and killing their counterparts, including Li Zhixun.

It seems that he is shouldering another heavy responsibility of life to make him grow up quickly, and the predators around don’t really want to face this kind of like that is ready to fight for life. The desperate aura really makes Li Shizhao not empty-handed in the fight. And return.

The killing of each other for many days makes the hungry predators tired and desperate. Therefore, the arrival of this group of animals makes all the predators excited at the same time, even directly ignoring the fact that the head of this group of animals is definitely not Decorated two-meter long horns.

This kind of animal should have a strong ability to resist drought and hunger, otherwise it would never survive in the dry season grassland further south. This ability gives them a chance to survive. Unfortunately, their survival and their late migration bring to the ethnic group It's definitely a catastrophe.

The **** killing proved that the old and the weak in the race are always the first to fall.

Li Shizhao was not as excited as other predators, and he even rushed into the mud to compete with the water overlords for food. He was convinced that the prey who had just crossed the dangerous area of ​​the river bank were easier to relax their guard and easier to attack.

At this time, he has long lost the admiration and emotion when he saw the wildebeest crossing the river. In the desperate situation of survival, Li Shizhao is blending into this environment at an astonishing speed. He is a predator. He needs food, and the one who crosses the river across is his prey, that's all.

Obviously he is not the only predator who thinks like Li Shizhao, and the Longhorns who have paid a tragic price to cross the river have not completely escaped the crisis.

They surrounded the young surviving individuals in the group in a formation with long horns facing outwards, trying to fight against the predators with green eyes.

However, in the face of hunger, even Tyrannosaurus would be attacked by these desperate, crazy predators, not to mention the herbivorous race in front of them.

Under the frantic impact of the **** killing, the formation of the Longhorn tribe was quickly dissipated. The few corpses left on the ground and the longhorn animals that had not yet died but were bitten quickly attracted predators to share food and fight.

Li Shizhao threw a sharp wooden club fiercely. His javelin had long been lost in countless dangerous battles, and only the last one was left in his hand, so what he uses now is a newly made one. Wooden stick.

Hearing the sharp sound of breaking through the air, the predators who had been seen around stopped one after another to give way. Li Shizun took the opportunity to grab the animal's entrails and drew back on his shoulders and walked away.

Not all predators were willing to give up their prey. A half-human tall dinosaur with a beak, feathers, long tail, and sharp toes like hooks screamed fiercely and struck Li Shizhao's shoulders.

He tried to separate it with a shield, but he also left a long blood mark on his left shoulder, with the skin open and fleshy. This is the countless trauma he has suffered in these days. For the current Li Shizhen, as long as he is not injured. Injuries that are critical and able to act autonomously can be ignored.

He didn't even blink his eyes, and the spear in his hand pierced out from under the shield when the shield was blocking, piercing the small dinosaur in mid-air to the heart.

Without stopping for a moment, he took his internal organs and walked away wearing a dinosaur.

Because he hadn't hit the prey, he had left all night and one morning, and now he urgently needs to go back to confirm the situation of the white tiger.

However, seeing the corpse in the trap on the edge of the small soil bag and the small hole dug out in the corner of the stone gate, he suddenly had a huge ominous premonition.

Throwing the internal organs and the dinosaur at the entrance of the cave, he trembling and eagerly pried open the stone, almost staggering, his mind rushed in chaotically.

Almost in the passage, he could smell the strong smell of blood coming from the cave. Li Shizhen was so frightened that he was so scared that he was afraid that he would go in and see a big cat that was bitten to pieces. Dead body.

The cave was pitch black, and even the bonfire was completely extinguished. There was deathly darkness and silence. Only the heavy blood seemed to drown people in this nostril.

Li Shizhao could almost feel the sorrow and anger boiling in his chest as if it was about to explode, obliterating everything in this space!

After a while, he reluctantly calmed down, shaking and touching the lighter in the backpack, in the swaying flame, a mess of black blood on the mud and a few deadly jackal-like animals, black bear skins piled in a mess. The white fur of the big cat was scattered on the ground, but there was no trace of it on the ground.

He took a deep breath, drew out his close-fitting knife and slashed through the belly of a jackal on the ground. He swears that if the big cat's body is missing a piece, he will slaughter all the jackals here!

Empty, empty, still empty!

Li Shizhao was taken aback, the lighter went out, but he seemed to be stupid standing in the dark. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and then lit the lighter again to pass the cave into the cave and searched it carefully. He even looked at the toilet. After that, there is nothing!

When he first came in, the stones were obviously blocked, except for the hole underneath that allowed these animals to get in, it was impossible for the white tiger to get out.

Standing in the hole again, everything here is clear at a glance, only—

He cast his gaze to the black bear skin on one side, and he walked over, his gaze seemed to have boundless expectations and he seemed to be afraid of disappointment. He lifted this messy pile of black bear skins, and there was a **** mass lying in it. Li Shizhao took a closer look, and it turned out that he was a man curled up? !

Eliminate all the possibilities, and what is left is the only possibility!

Li Zhizheng almost tremblingly held the lighter in one hand, and leaned the other hand toward the man's **** cheek, so much blood made Li Zhizhen's hand wet. He shook his hands and wiped the blood from that person's face, touched his hair, and removed the parts that were stained with blood, it was a silvery white color.

Li Zhizhu felt the person's weak and long breathing. He seemed to be disturbed, and he groaned slightly.

Li Zhizheng is very sincere and grateful to God at this moment. It's good to live, no matter what it looks like, as long as you live. After so many days of suffering and hard work, he really couldn't afford this kind of loss anymore.
