Chapter 23: On Protracted War

The eyes reflected green light under the moonlight, so faint that it was impossible to see the shape of the dark parts of the eyes.

But its eyes are not small. If the distance is removed, they should be only slightly smaller than those of Smilodon. It is basically certain that it is a lethal animal.

Wang Yang was a little confused. He had been paying attention to his surroundings for a long time, but he still didn't find any animals approaching, and they were even about ten meters away.

If it were a leopard, it would be able to climb a tree and kill itself within three seconds if it sprinted in two steps.

But could these eyes belong to that saber-toothed tiger?

He shifted his gaze and saw that the Smilodon was still sleeping there.

"Damn! Whose eyes do these belong to?"

Wang Yang lowered his breath and turned his head to look at the moonlight, but there were no more eyes there.

Those two dim lights seemed to disappear, and the moonlight shone directly on the yellowing dead leaves.

"Oops!"

Wang Yang immediately realized something was wrong, so he climbed up the tree and threw a stone under the tree.

"Dong, dong, dong dong..."

The stone collided with the earth, making a dull sound without hitting anything.

"Where are you hiding?"

Wang Yang looked around and couldn't see anything in the darkness.

I raised my ears and listened quietly, but I didn't hear any movement.

"No matter what, let's wake up the saber-toothed tiger first!"

He took out another stone and threw it towards the hazy figure under the tree.

"Ho~"

The saber-toothed tiger was awakened by the impact, rolled up, and immediately ran to the tree where Wang Yang was staying, roaring at the top.

"Why are you yelling at me? Check the surroundings quickly!"

Wang Yang shouted anxiously.

The saber-toothed tiger seemed to feel the threats around it. It suddenly turned around and kept roaring to the right. The voice was deep and powerful. It was not as arrogant as before, as if it was facing a formidable enemy.

Wang Yang quickly paid attention to that side, but there was still no movement there, and it was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly.

After roaring like this for a while, there was finally movement over there, a slight rustling sound, as if some animal was slowly retreating, and its body was rubbing against the bushes.

The sound of its retreat gradually became distant, and calm gradually returned.

After it retreated, the saber-toothed tiger roared at Wang Yang a few more times, then lay back down to sleep.

Wang Yang looked at it sleeping soundly and felt so helpless. Why should he be so worried when it could sleep so peacefully? When danger was approaching, he had to warn it himself. Did he really regard himself as a sentry?

But the situation is weaker than others, so there is nothing to say. Wang Yang really has to rely on it to protect himself.

He put his hand into the stone bag and touched it. There were thirty small stones. He could wake it up thirty times.

The night is long, so I have to use it sparingly.

In fact, Wang Yang had just thought about whether it would be more beneficial to him if the saber-toothed tiger had a fight with the unknown beast.

But he didn't dare to be careless. If it happened to be a master who could climb a tree, he would have to answer for it.

It would be easier if we could determine what kind of animal it is and whether it can climb a tree.

There was nothing to say all night, and after using a few small stones to disperse the danger several times, the sky finally turned white.

When the sky lit up, Wang Yang's exhausted spirit was lifted, and the idea of ​​​​escape rose again.

Although early morning is also the peak time for animals to appear, if you can see the road and your surroundings clearly, it won't be a big problem to get back safely.

He looked at the saber-toothed tiger, which was still lying seven meters away, with its eyes closed, and seemed to be still sleeping.

Wang Yang pierced the stone awl into the trunk of the tree, stepped on the trunk and slowly climbed down, keeping his eyes on the saber-toothed tiger.

He descended to a position four or five meters above the ground, stopped cautiously, and stopped going down.

This height is beyond the reach of saber-toothed tigers and is still a safe area. If you go any lower, you will be attacked by saber-toothed tigers.

He paused for about ten seconds and even hung his feet down temptingly to judge whether the saber-toothed tiger was pretending to sleep.

But the saber-toothed tiger still didn't make any movements, and its belly rose and fell regularly.

Wang Yang couldn't care much at this time. He was too tired and hadn't slept all night. Even if this opportunity is dangerous, he must give it a try, otherwise who knows how long it will take?

He climbed down another two meters, very gently, trying to make as little noise as possible.

Just one meter above the ground, Wang Yang noticed that the Smilodon's belly no longer undulated, but shrank.

That is an extremely obvious sign of tightening the muscles and preparing for an attack.

"Sure enough, I'm pretending to sleep!"

Wang Yang cursed secretly and climbed up as fast as he could.

As soon as he climbed up, the saber-toothed tiger immediately lost its composure, took off its stride, and charged up with an angry roar.

Wang Yang took a few steps to the tree, sat on the branch, looked at the unwilling saber-toothed tiger under the tree, and wiped a cold sweat on his face.

It is said that big cats are very cunning, and it is true. This is too cunning. I am afraid that it has woken up a long time ago and has been patiently pretending to be asleep. It only waits for it to get off the tree before launching an attack.

Wang Yang waited for more than two hours, until there was enough light, and the saber-toothed tiger did not leave, and stayed firmly under the tree.

With no hope of leaving, Wang Yang could no longer resist the heavy sleepiness, and there was an aching pain deep in the bones of his knees, which was the body's resistance after a long night.

Wang Yang climbed up a slightly thicker tree trunk, wrapped leather strips around his legs and branches several times, and fixed his lower body. Then he used stone cones as nails and nailed them to the trunk from both sides of his neck to fix his upper body to prevent himself.

I fell asleep too much.

Then he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When Wang Yang woke up again, it was already sunset and almost dusk.

He rubbed his eyes to make sure he saw it correctly, and immediately looked down, but the picture he imagined did not appear.

The saber-toothed tiger still stood there shamelessly, chewing the last bit of lynx meat in a very obscene manner.

Wang Yang was speechless. This is going to be a protracted war...

He untied the leather strap and touched his pocket. He found that the fruit was gone. He didn't care. He ate the mole he had just caught yesterday. It didn't taste very good.

At night, it was hard again.

I'm feeling energetic now, but I still have to be cautious.

Wang Yang thought for a while, this is not a problem. He is worried every day. The saber-toothed tiger is so comfortable. Sooner or later, he will go crazy. How can he fight a protracted war?

Not to mention this, your own food and water sources are a problem.

He analyzed it and found that the Smilodon had already eaten up all the lynx meat today, and it would have to find food tomorrow.

As long as he doesn't sleep tomorrow, he can always seize the opportunity to escape.

Another night passed like this. In the early morning of the next day, Wang Yang wanted to sleep, but he didn't dare to sleep. He braced himself and waited for the saber-toothed tiger to find food.

The saber-toothed tiger was still lying there. Wang Yang got impatient with waiting, so he picked up the stone and threw it away.

"Stop pretending, I know you haven't slept! Get up quickly and go find food!"
