Chapter 7: Subduing the beast!
Hope is often accompanied by disappointment.
After getting closer, Ding Xiaohei discovered that the wild bamboo forest was not big at all.
The bamboos inside are large and small, thick and thin, and they come from one bush.
This is nothing, mainly because summer has already entered, and it is not easy to find bamboo shoots at this time.
Bamboo shoots still grow mostly in spring.
He found a dead dried bamboo, swept the ground all the way, alerted the snake to enter the bamboo forest, and began to look for edible food.
As he thought, the bamboo shoots that had just emerged did not exist at all, or in other words, they were not looking for them carefully enough.
Fortunately, I was lucky. I didn’t encounter reptiles like snakes, little lizards, etc. I don’t know if this is a good thing.
Since there were no bamboo shoots that had just emerged, I gave up in dismay.
He began to look for holes in the ground to see if he could encounter good luck and find a bamboo rat nest.
After a while of flipping, he really found a hole in the ground.
He squatted down at the entrance of the cave and looked at it in detail.
After a subtle look, he finally confirmed that there had been no signs of animals moving in this cave for a long time.
Then, there will definitely be no bamboo rats inside, so there is no need to continue wasting energy on it.
Time is slowly passing by little by little. As the sky is getting dark, I don’t find some food, I’m afraid I won’t be able to pass this night.
Just as he was planning to leave the bamboo forest and take advantage of the remaining time before dark to try his luck elsewhere, a pearl and a half bamboo shoot and a half bamboo came into his eyes.
He walked over quickly, first looked, then squatted down, took out the dagger, and cut it down against the roots of half bamboo shoots and half bamboo.
This is a bamboo that has just left the state of bamboo shoots. It is theoretically edible, but it has no nutritional value.
To be more precise, bamboo shoots have no nutritional value, they are just pure vegetarian fiber, which is a good food for weight loss.
He peeled off the skin of half bamboo and half bamboo shoots, and then used a dagger to peel off the smooth skin of half bamboo and half bamboo shoots that had a little hardness on the surface, and then cut it across the cross-section into circles after circle.
The top part should theoretically be the tenderest, but it is too thin and too thin, so there is not much to eat, so it is not as good as the bottom part.
He brought the cut circles to his mouth, chewing the half-bamboo and half-bamboo rings without any expression.
Less than half of it, he stopped.
It’s not that I’m full, but because I really don’t have any taste. The information I’ve received from his scent system is that I don’t eat it anymore.
Although I was not full, I was not so hungry in my stomach. Next, it was time to consider resting at night.
He cut off the thickest bamboo, took out the appropriate section, and made it into a bamboo tube.
I put the remaining half bamboo and half bamboo shoots in, and then left the bamboo forest and found a suitable place to rest at night.
He searched and searched, only looking for places with big trees. Before he knew it, he arrived at a small low-lying valley outside.
In the valley, he found several water beaches without any surprise.
Seeing the clear water in the water-stalk, he couldn't help but lick his lower lips.
He had never drunk much water except food for this day. When he saw water, his body naturally reacted.
However, no matter how deep the body's demand for moisture was, it did not shake him to get water.
As a special forces soldier with survivability in the wild, he knew very well that the water in the water-stalk, no matter how clear it looked, was absolutely unclean. Drinking raw would definitely cause him trouble.
(In the wild environment, you must not drink the trough water of the sun. That kind of water, because soaking the leaves of rotten plants, will produce some toxic substances. Secondly, in the water in that place, many parasites will normally breed, and the most dangerous one is the iron nematode, which is a fatal species.)
Ding Yi looked around and found that this low-lying valley was not a very suitable area for rest, so he would rather change the place and continue looking for it.
Just when he was about to determine the direction of the next target area, his face suddenly became cautious, and the dagger in his hand also subconsciously tightened.
His eyes were glancing around and his eyes opened.
Just now, he smelled a fishy smell unique to animal hair. The smell made him realize the danger.
He stood still and didn't move. He knew very clearly that when the wild beasts in the forest usually took the lead in using sneak attacks when they found their targets.
He cannot give ferocious beasts in unknown situations any chance to attack him.
If he moves at this time, he will most likely be attacked by the other party from behind.
After just one stop like this, for more than ten minutes, his cold and handsome eyes never noticed any animals appearing in the 4th week.
But the more this happens, the more nervous his heart becomes.
The unique aura of animal hair seemed to be clearer. He had realized that the animal hiding in the dark and staring at him was afraid that it was already very close to him.
But the ferocious beast has not appeared, which means it is not confident that it can kill the human who suddenly appeared in the Scarf Valley.
The dagger in Ding Xiaohei's hand became tighter and tighter. He raised it slightly to protect his upper body.
Time is being consumed, and the light is getting darker a little bit.
Suddenly, Ding Xiaohei elbowed and swung his hand with the dagger up, but it was empty.
A gray shadow swept over his head and then landed on the ground.
Ding Xiaohei turned around suddenly and realized that the ferocious beast that suddenly appeared was much smaller than he imagined.
It was a lynx in the hair change period, with a large lump of hair that had not completely faded on its back.
It is not big in size and looks one size smaller than the German Shepherd.
However, as a cat with agility, a lynx of this size is very dangerous.
After seeing clearly that it was a feline beast, Ding Xiaohei did not dare to relax, but became more cautious.
But don’t underestimate such a little guy. He wants to hate him. Humans who don’t understand their nature may not be their opponents.
Moreover, its movements are very fast, and if you don’t pay attention, you may be able to touch its path.
The dagger flew around his hand, with a straight grip, and replaced it with a reverse grip.
His arm bent slightly, and he pushed the dagger he held back slightly forward, preparing for the battle.
Don’t think that the little beast will act before the action. Any intimidation behavior issued by the beast before the attack in film and television dramas is to show a tight breath.
It took two back and forth steps left and right, looking for the opportunity and position for the next wave of attack.
Ding Xiaohei's eyes always followed its footsteps.
Suddenly, the lynx's ferrying steps suddenly changed. It flashed and attacked again without any symptoms.
Ding Xiaohei's hands were facing each other, and the dagger in his hand slashed over.
I don’t know if this guy really knows the lethality of the dagger, and he actually can dodge it.
Although it is very fast, it is so fast that people can't keep up with its pace.
But as soon as it dodged, it revealed a flaw and was pressed down by Ding Xiaohei's left hand.
The lynx, which was held down by Ding Xiaohei, suddenly turned his head and bit it towards the left hand that belonged to Ding Xiaohei, who was holding its back.
Ding Xiaohei seemed to have realized that this would happen. His hand holding the knife fell to the ground and lifted the lynx's neck.
After this, the seemingly fierce lynx suddenly became honest.
This is not because the lynx has become obedient. He suddenly becomes so honest. It is entirely because of the nature of a cat.
Most cats, even some canines, will become honest as long as the neck is held on.
As for the reason, it is entirely just because this animal was a child, and it was forced to be held in the mouth of their mothers.
On the contrary, when they are held above their necks, they will naturally become good babies from childhood.
