Originally, they said to go to bed early, get up early, and set off early. As a result, Zhang Zian had been tormented for a long time last night because of the coyote’s attack. He was in a daze and didn’t really fall asleep until it was almost dawn. He felt as if he had just closed his eyes when he was awakened by the chirping of birds outside.

By the time he got out of the tent, the sky was already bright.

In fact, the Elfins had already woken up, but since he hadn’t woken up, they were happy to rest a little longer.

The bonfire had long been extinguished, and even the embers were cold. He added more firewood at about four in the morning, and estimated that it could only last for two hours at most.

Famous suggested that it would be responsible for adding firewood. Anyway, it slept outside the tent, which was more convenient. However, it did not have flexible hands like humans. If it wanted to add firewood, it could only push dead branches into the fire, which could easily cause sparks, so it was dangerous. Therefore, it decided to do it himself.

Seeing him come out, famous yawned and said without waiting for him to ask,””Everything is normal. The coyote has not returned. Also, I think I know why the deer was able to detect danger in advance yesterday. ”

“Oh? Why?”

When they had chosen to set up camp by this stream the day before, the deer had obviously looked nervous and uneasy, as if it had sensed some potential danger. However, famous didn’t smell anything, and something happened that night. It had been brooding over this for a long time. Even when Zhang Zian and the other Elfins went back to their tents to sleep, it was still thinking about it, and it finally understood.

Famous led him to the stream.

The water level of this temporary stream formed by the thunderstorm had obviously decreased compared to yesterday. The flow rate and volume had weakened a lot. In about two or three days, the stream would become a mud ditch and finally dry up completely, until the next thunderstorm came and it would be rejuvenated.

“Because the deer drank the unboiled water from the stream,” famous explained.”I drank the water that you filtered, disinfected, boiled, and cooled.”

Zhang Zian seemed to understand,”you mean, the smell of the coyote is dissolved in the water, so the deer tasted it?”

“It should be like this.” Famous nodded.

This made sense.

Zhang Zian looked up at the upstream of the stream.

Coyotes also have to drink water. After they drink from upstream, the smell is carried downstream by the stream. When the deer drinks water, it notices that there are coyotes upstream, so it is nervous. However, famous has drunk cold water, and the smell is no longer present.

The deer knew that there were coyotes upstream, but it couldn’t be sure exactly how far they were. No one knew how long the stream was. As long as it was in the direction of the stream, it could be considered upstream.

According to scientists ‘research, deer were not very afraid of coyotes. To be precise, deer had two reactions after smelling the scent of coyotes. One was when they smelled the scent of the dominant individual in the coyote, which was the coyote leader, the deer would be frightened, but if they only smelled the scent of ordinary male or female coyotes, the deer would not show obvious fear.

It was obvious that the black Wolfhound from yesterday had caused the deer to react uneasily.

Zhang Zian held a compass in one hand and his mobile phone in the other. Through comparison, he found that the location of the light seemed to be in the direction of the current upstream of the stream. If he continued to move towards the light, he might encounter coyotes, especially the group from last night.

Of course, the stream’s direction of flow was very erratic, and it might change direction after a few turns.

In any case, a living person couldn’t make way for a few animals. Even if he took a detour, it might not be without trouble. Badgers were smart and vengeful animals. There were many videos online that showed the nature of Badgers, including the movie “God is crazy 2” where the male lead was chased all the way through the desert by flatheadbro after accidentally stepping on his foot …

The Badger had suffered a huge loss yesterday, and it was likely to take revenge after it recovered.

Zhang Zian didn’t care about this. It could come if it wanted to. Anyway, there might be a black bear following behind it. A few more coyotes were no different from an United States Badger. It wouldn’t bite when it had too many lice, and it wouldn’t worry about its debts when it had too many …

“Kaka! Do you still have any more of the road torches from last night? Give me one to play with!”

Richard pretended to be close and jumped onto his shoulder.

“Why do you want that thing?” Zhang Zian waved his hand and chased it to the side,”get up. Don’t delay me from making breakfast.”

“Kaka! You Idiot’s aim is too bad. Last night, if you had just thrown the torch into the pit dug by that stinky Badger, wouldn’t you have been fine? Therefore, if we encounter any unexpected situations again, I can transform into a bombing chicken and hold the torch to be responsible for dropping the bombs. I guarantee that I will be able to drop one bomb accurately!” It called out.

“If you dare to talk nonsense again, I’ll remove the ‘boom’ word.” “Look at how scared you were last night!” He said disdainfully.

Richard desperately tried to find excuses for himself, something like a gentleman forbade poverty …

After breakfast, it was not appropriate to walk immediately after eating, as it was easy to get stomach problems, so Zhang Zian did not rush to set off. Instead, he carried out the idea he had last night. He found a branch of the right length, cut off the bark and branches with a small knife, and shaved them into a straight wooden stick. Then, he used the rough red phosphorus on the cover of the road torch as sandpaper to Polish the spiky parts.

“Pi, this is for you.”

He greeted Pi and waved the wooden stick in his hand.

“Squeak?”

Pi was sitting on a branch and looking at the giant tree in the distance. The blisters on its palms had disappeared. Hearing Zhang Zian’s voice, it looked at the wooden stick again and couldn’t help but be confused.

“You were very brave last night, but it was uncomfortable to wave the branches, right? That’s why I cut this stick for you. We still need you to protect us in the future. ” Zhang Zian swung the wooden stick a few times, creating a gust of wind.

“Squeak!”

Pi jumped down from the tree and ran over on all fours. It took the stick happily, ran to the open space, and swung it a few times like Zhang Zian.

Zhang Zian’s mountaineering stick was too long and heavy for Pi. It loved the stick, and both its weight and length were suitable for it.

Pi swung the stick for a while, then carried it on its shoulder again. It paced around the camp in a high-spirited manner, looking around vigilantly like a loyal guard. Even Richard was envious of it.

Vladimir was planning to give Pi a Red Star when it returned to China.

Looking at how happy it was, Zhang Zian secretly regretted not thinking of cutting a stick for it to play with.

Every elfin had its own strengths, as long as they were given a suitable stage to play on. Before last night, who would have thought that Pi would be so brave to fight against the coyote?

Even the spotted owl had played a part last night, screeching to warn of the appearance of the coyote.

The only one he could not count on was Richard.
