C10 Seek water source
A few minutes later, only Zhang Minghai and the four dead wild wolves were left on the battlefield.
Zhang Minghai jumped down from the tree, raised his head and looked at the place where the wolves had retreated. Only when he could no longer see anything did he confirm that the wolves had really left.
At this moment, Zhang Minghai felt that even though his usual falcons training was abnormally harsh, but at this crucial moment, everything would turn into something extremely powerful.
After spending nearly an hour with the wolf pack, Zhang Minghai started to get nervous. He packed up his stuff and ran towards his destination.
Running into the forest consumed a lot of physical strength, even with Zhang Minghai's strong military qualities, after running for three to four hours in a row, he still found it hard to endure. And because of running for a long time, Zhang Minghai's body was more or less colored, and the camouflage clothes, needless to say, had been cut by the sharp grass. Zhang Minghai could foresee that after walking out of the forest for five days, the camouflage battle uniform he was wearing, would probably be time to ask for food.
No, those who asked for food would not wear it. They could only use it as a cleaning rag.
In order to prevent himself from walking out of the forest bare-footed in five days, Zhang Minghai started to search for the most resilient parts of the grass. From afar, it looked like a scarecrow, which saved him the trouble of pretending to be it.
In order to save time, Zhang Minghai spent all his time on the journey. Fortunately, he had smoked and roasted meat at the beginning, so he didn't waste any time on the food along the way.
It wasn't until noon that Zhang Minghai felt that he was in trouble because there was no water in the equipment he had been given. If he wanted to leave the forest alive, it would be impossible to not drink water for five days.
The most important thing right now was to find the water source!
It was a pity that Zhang Minghai's memory was strong, so he could vaguely remember to search for water according to the direction of the birds, especially the gluttonous birds. Sooner or later, they would all need to drink water, so they wouldn't stay too far away from the water source. Furthermore, when the birds flew straight, they were definitely looking for water, as long as they followed the direction of the flying direction, they would be able to find water source.
Due to the lack of water on his body, Zhang Minghai had no choice but to find a water source first. Otherwise, in this forest where danger lurked at every moment, dehydration for a long period of time was undoubtedly suicidal.
At this moment, Zhang Minghai couldn't help but feel his mouth go dry. He regretted sleeping too comfortably last night even more, otherwise, he would have been in the forest at night, searching for water in such a sorry state.
Despite being vexed, Zhang Minghai soon discovered several larks flying in the sky. Zhang Minghai was overjoyed as he quickly hastened his steps to catch up with them.
After a while, Zhang Minghai found a water source. He didn't know where it came from, but it was crystal clear, and green moss could be seen growing on the surface. Looking from a distance, he felt much more comfortable.
Zhang Minghai washed his face with clean water, and then simply cleaned the wounds that had been scraped by the grass before filling the water bucket in his backpack to the brim with satisfaction.
"Ah, comfortable!" Zhang Minghai took off his combat boots to the side. The moment his overworked feet entered the water, he immediately let out a comfortable groan.
There were a lot of birds and animals drinking water beside Zhang Minghai. They weren't afraid of Zhang Minghai at all. On the contrary, some of them jumped to a spot not far away from him and looked at him curiously.
Zhang Minghai licked his lips, thinking that there wouldn't be much roasted meat left, how about we prepare some more...
At this moment, the birds beside Zhang Minghai suddenly flew into the air in fright. The small animals also began to flee into the grass. Zhang Minghai couldn't help but scratch the back of his head.
Suddenly, Zhang Minghai felt a surge of killing intent. Almost subconsciously, he pulled out his dagger and looked around vigilantly.
Behind Zhang Minghai's back, a multicolored tiger wagged its tail as it walked step by step towards Zhang Minghai with its body lowered. The domineering aura of the King of Ten Thousand Beasts instantly made Zhang Minghai's hair stand on end!
Damn, no wonder those little things ran so fast, they must be the King of Ten Thousand Beasts!
Zhang Minghai didn't dare to slack off. He gripped his dagger tightly and stood still against the tiger. He knew that running away after turning around at this moment was the same as committing suicide, because the tiger would pounce on him and break his neck.
The tiger in front of him slowly approached Zhang Minghai. Its iron-whip-like tail swayed left and right, but its body was unconsciously lowered. Clearly, it was a sign that it was going to hunt!
Could it be that I'm going to be a Wu Song?
Zhang Minghai was in a fighting position, fully alert and fully alert.
A rumbling sound came from the mouth of the tiger, as if it was declaring war or chasing it away. Zhang Minghai tightly gripped the dagger in his hand, not daring to move.
A man and a tiger confronted each other, no one backing down!
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" A tiger's roar that shook the heavens and earth shook Zhang Minghai's ears, causing him to feel pain.
Zhang Minghai felt goosebumps all over his body as his heart tightened. No one would be able to remain calm in the face of such a huge power.
The ferocious tiger seemed to have lost its patience as it scratched the ground in annoyance. Its eyes were staring straight at Zhang Minghai, ready to pounce on him and break his neck.
Zhang Minghai did not dare to act rashly, for fear of angering the tiger, time passed minute by minute, and every second of staying was filled with danger to Zhang Minghai. Although Zhang Minghai more or less knew about the tiger's habits, it was still limited to talking about military matters.
Zhang Minghai didn't dare to retreat nor move forward. He just stood there in a deadlock. At this moment, the tiger was also a bit irritated. It let out a threatening growl, and the frequency of its tail wagging increased.
It seemed like this tiger didn't have much patience.
Zhang Minghai gritted his teeth. He knew that today's life-and-death battle was inevitable, and he couldn't avoid it.
Zhang Minghai gripped the dagger tightly as he slowly retreated backwards. The ferocious tiger in front of him had been bewitched by Zhang Minghai's actions. It then started to approach Zhang Minghai step by step.
At this moment, the tiger leaped up, its two palm-sized claws whistled as they pounced towards Zhang Minghai. Zhang Minghai could even smell the stench of blood coming off the tiger's body.
Zhang Minghai dodged the tiger's fatal pounce and quickly retreated. He provocatively hooked his finger at the tiger.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The tiger let out a tiger's roar, opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards Zhang Minghai once again.
Just when the tiger was about to pounce on Zhang Minghai, Zhang Minghai's figure strangely lowered himself forward, as he gripped his dagger tightly and viciously thrust it towards the tiger's belly. He then slashed downwards, and Zhang Minghai, who was under the tiger, was immediately covered by blood, turning into a man of blood!
Zhang Minghai didn't care about the thick, viscous blood. He pushed off the ground with his legs and rolled on the ground. His body's momentum allowed him to slip two or three meters away.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The tiger cried out in pain as it pounced towards Zhang Minghai with its blood-red eyes wide open. As it moved, its internal organs and fresh blood gushed out from its body.
Zhang Minghai stood up like a carp and took a few big steps forward. Then, he jumped up and grabbed onto a tree trunk. With a hard sway of his body, he landed on it.
At this moment, the tiger was on the verge of death. Behind it was a path that was dyed red with blood, causing one to feel terrified!
The tiger lay limply on the ground, lacking the domineering aura of a forest king. It was like a sick cat instead, breathing heavily through its throat, its eyelids drooping over its eyes.
Not long after, the tiger's back no longer moved up and down as it lay down quietly, as if it was asleep.
Seeing this, Zhang Minghai cautiously slid down from the tree trunk. He tightly gripped the dagger as if he was holding his own lifeline, staring at the motionless tiger with a pair of eyes.
The air around him seemed to have frozen in half.
Zhang Minghai carefully moved behind the tiger and kicked it a few times, but the tiger didn't react at all.
Dead!
"Huff …" Zhang Minghai took a deep breath, his legs went limp and his body fell heavily on the ground.
In the battle against the tiger just now, he had gathered almost all of his energy and stamina without showing any signs of slacking. Now that he knew the tiger was dead, the big rock in his heart immediately dropped.
Zhang Minghai was really scared.
He shook his head with a bitter smile, looked down at the blood on his camouflage clothes, the dust and the tiger's saliva, and then forced his body to walk slowly towards the river not far away.
After a simple wash, Zhang Minghai soaked his clothes in the river, gave them a simple wash and knead them before putting them on.
Although the camouflage clothes were already soaked, the sun was high in the sky and the temperature on the mountain was extremely high. Within ten minutes, the camouflage clothes had dried up.
If it was on a snowy mountain, Zhang Minghai would have already been frozen half to death.
However, from a different perspective, if he was on a snowy mountain now, would Zhang Minghai need to spend so much effort to find a water source? Of course, they would not encounter an animal as dangerous as a tiger.
Zhang Minghai calmly smiled, feeling like he had just survived a disaster.
Along the way, Zhang Minghai first encountered the wolf pack and then the fierce tiger. His stamina had run out a long time ago.
In fact, from the time his teammates had separated until now, Zhang Minghai had only walked 50 kilometers. He took many detours in order to find water sources.
According to Zhang Minghai's rough calculations, if they were to reach their destination, they would have to travel at night for a few days.
While the sky was still dark, Zhang Minghai was rapidly heading towards his destination.
