“As Su Ming continued his investigation in this forest, he also found some clues. ”
“On the northeast side, there were traces of frost on the snowy mountain spruce tree. ”
“On the southwest side of the tree, there were traces of a brown bear’s paw prints. ”
It was obvious that this was the first time the two sides had encountered each other and had engaged in a fierce battle.
The smell of blood in the air told Su Ming that one of them had seen blood.
“Following the smell that had yet to dissipate, Su Ming saw dried blood on a branch of a bush. ”
“He leaned over and sniffed, trying to distinguish whether it was brown bear’s or Ling’s blood. ”
“After a long time, Su Ming stood up. As a wolf that had just swallowed brown bear’s blood, he could clearly tell that the owner of the blood was not a brown bear. ”
Then it had to be ling.
“Not only that, judging from the degree of damage to the branches and leaves, both of them had used their abilities to fight each other. ”
“The result was unknown, but Ling’s ability could at least withstand the brown bear’s flames. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the area to be in good condition and not be burned. ”
Ling’s frost must have played a role in this.
“Su Ming followed the traces of the battle as they headed north. He could see that as they went deeper, the frost belonging to Ling became less and less. On the contrary, the traces of the brown bear’s flames began to increase. ”
“There were scorch marks on the bushes on both sides. Fortunately, the brown bear seemed to understand that it should not destroy the forest environment and reduce the number of prey it could hunt. ”
“It did not burn the Sea of fire because of this. Instead, it tried its best to shrink its strength to follow Ling. ”
Su Ming walked through the battle between the two and kept paying attention to Ling’s tracks.
“When he saw the scene in front of him, he stopped in surprise. ”
This was a forest that was completely under the cold winter. The grass and trees within a few meters of it were completely frozen by the frost and turned into ice sculptures.
Only Su Ming’s position had a huge circle that dispersed the incoming frost.
“Su Ming knew clearly that this was where the brown bear was standing at that time. Its scorching flames helped it to successfully resist the frost and at the same time, temporarily stopped it from moving forward. ”
“Stepping over the ice layer and looking forward, Su Ming could see that there was actually a thin layer of ice extending forward from the back of the Frost Forest. ”
He could already imagine what had happened at that time.
“The two of them met for the first time and began to fight. Ling could not defeat the other party and was injured by the brown bear. Then, he began to flee into the distance. However, the brown bear would not let go of the opponent in front of it. It chased after the injured Ling. ”
“Seeing that it might not be able to shake off the brown bear, Ling had no choice but to activate an ability that would make it a burden. Otherwise, he would have used it at the moment of the fight. It would have melted the ice around it.., it also greatly slowed down the brown bear’s footsteps, thus using its ability to escape from the brown bear’s sight. ”
“The ice layer extended forward for a distance, but there were no traces. It was probably Ling who had broken out of this state. ”
Su Ming walked to the crack in the ice layer and sniffed the air above.
“There was the scent of Ling and the body odor of the brown bear. It was likely that after the brown bear broke out of the ice layer, it started to look for Ling again, just like the current Su Ming. ”
“The two scents were mixed together. Although it was extremely complicated, the routes they took were the same. This was equivalent to pointing out the path ahead for Su Ming. ”
Su Ming ran quickly and followed the route they took the day before. He walked to the north and came to the side of a stream.
This should be the same river as the stream where the northern goat habitat was.
“He did not expect the crossing to be so huge. From the northwest to the north, the river had yet to reach its end. ”
“At the same time, at this place, the route of the two had changed again. It should not be said that Ling’s scent had disappeared, leaving only the brown bear circling in the same place, looking for traces of the other party. ”
Ling should have used the clear water of the stream to wash away his own blood and cover up the scent on his body.
“Su Ming stayed where he was, thinking about Ling’s whereabouts. ”
“Since Ling was able to wash away the smell on his body, he must have stepped into the stream. Then, he must have walked to the other side. ”
“With that thought, Su Ming jumped high into the air and jumped to the other side of the stream. He came to the forest to explore. ”
“Sure enough, Su Ming smelled the familiar smell of blood and Ling’s smell from the bushes on the other side. ”
“The cover of the stream did not seem to last for long. Ling’s injuries did not seem to be light either. The Frost on her body could not completely freeze, and blood oozed out from her wounds. ”
“According to the guidance of the blood, it did not take long for Su Ming to arrive at the place where Ling had finally stopped. ”
A small cave. This Must Be Ling’s temporary resting place.
“Stepping into the cave, Su Ming was filled with eagerness. He wanted to meet Ling and see how it was doing and if its injuries were serious. ”
“Unfortunately, there was no wolf in the cave. There was no sign of Ling. ”
“Some white bones were scattered on the ground. It seemed that Ling had the habit of bringing her prey into the cave and then slowly enjoying it, ”
there was a lot of dried blood on the ground. Su Ming even noticed that there was a stem of a white grass flower here.
“This proved two things. First, Ling knew which plants could heal injuries. He didn’t know if it was cultivated by his long wandering experience. ”
“Second, Ling returned to the cave to heal his injuries from the battle with the brown bear. However, it had disappeared. There was only one reason. The brown bear had arrived again. ”
“Even though the light in the cave was rather dim, Su Ming could still see traces of flames. ”
“Especially at the back of the stone wall, a large area of pitch-black surface had been burned. The haystack below had also been completely burnt. ”
It was obvious that the brown bear had spent some time and finally found Ling’s cave through its keen sense of smell.
“However, when it arrived, it encountered the same situation as Su Ming. Ling had left long ago. ”
The furious brown bear walked into the cave and destroyed all its items where Ling had stayed.
“However, Ling, who had only been here for a short while, did not have any precious items. All that was left was a pile of hay that he had slept on for many days. ”
“This, however, became the target of the brown bear’s anger. ”
Ling’s senses were very sharp. As expected of a wandering gray wolf that roamed many areas.
“She knew about the frost and the stream behind it. It could only hold the brown bear back for a moment. Therefore, after returning to the cave, she quickly healed her injuries and left in a hurry. ”
Su Ming walked out of the cave and looked at the woods outside.
But where did Ling go after that?
“The Smart Ling used some unknown method. After returning to the nest, there was no trace of its scent. ”
“This also made it impossible for the brown bear to track it, and Su Ming could not find it either. ”
“Su Ming looked up at the sky. It was already sunset. Seeing that he could not find it in a short time, he could only give up temporarily and return to the wolf den first. ”
“The forest at night was more dangerous than during the day, and there was also the brown bear tribe. ”
…
“Not long after he left, a white figure flashed past the trees and headed north. ”
