I tried to make some noise to see if there was still another rabbit inside the burrow and even threw more organs at the entrance of the burrow but still nothing came out.
"it seems safe now..."
the entrance is almost a meter in diameter, so I had to crawl to get in there.
it's a bit dark in here...'
further in the burrow became more spacious but I still couldn't lift my head and must have been hunched over.
"I see something there... it looks like a box, but it's smaller, wait... is that a toolbox?"
one that confirmed what it was, I saved it in the inventory.
[small toolbox, contains: clamp x1, duct tape x1, hammer x1, nail x30, tape measure x1, glue x1].
'wow... this was a nice catch'.
with this good catch I left the burrow with the intention of looking for another rabbit.
"now I know what to look for, the holes in the snow would be the rabbit holes, good to know."
I got to the small hill and started to go down it carefully so as not to fall.
//Auuu...!//
"What!? ahh...!"
//falling/// //rolling/// //rolling///
"argh... shit.. ah, the wolf!"
on top of the hill, almost in the same place I was before I fell, a large white wolf could be seen looking down in my direction.
//GRRrr... Ow...!//
'RUN!'
Without worrying about the pain of the fall, I quickly got up and started running towards the shelter, but of course, how could I compare the speed of a human with that of a beast?
I could soon hear the wolf's footsteps behind me.
It's already behind me...'.
//ow!//
block!
"kuu...!"
'it's so heavy... if I hadn't put the stake in the middle this bastard would have already ripped my face off'
with the wolf on top of my body I was barely hanging on and his claws were starting to dig into my shoulders.
I can't go on like this much longer... I need to distract him or something.
"remove mutant rabbit corpse x1"
shiiiin
the sudden light and the appearance of a rabbit in front of him surprised the wolf and gave me the opportunity I needed to get him off my back.
"fuck you stupid dog!"
stab!
//ow...!//
with my anger for the situation I was in I managed to stab the wooden stake into one of the wolf's eyes partially blinding it.
//GRRR...//
it was furious... first it was about to kill a harmless prey, then there was a bright light followed by the appearance of a rabbit and finally what it thought was an easy prey deigned to show its teeth at it and hurt it.
He could not leave it at that, he would definitely kill his prey and feast on its flesh.
"come on dog, if you won't leave me alone all I can do is kill you and use your fur to make a nice cloak!"
'withdraw stone knife x1 and stone axe x1'
//ow!//
throw!
dodge!
'I knew I couldn't hit with the knife so...'
stab!
//GRUOaaaw...!!!!//
the wooden stake buried itself deep in the wolf's hind leg.
'tch, I had aimed for the body... so that I could avoid serious damage after falling for the feint... this wolf sure is agile.'
this time the wolf's expression changed... he no longer had the upper hand in the hunt, now he was the prey.
//GRRr...//
jump!
'he's going to attack!'
however it didn't, instead of attacking me the wolf jumped away from me and with a limp paw it started to run.
"huh? is...is the wolf...running away?"
I couldn't believe the situation before me... the ferocious wolf that a minute ago wanted to tear my face off was now limping away without an eye and with a wooden stake buried deep in its paw.
a moment later I came out of my daze...
"no, I can't let him get away! if I let him go and then he brings his pack.. then I'm lost"
'remove wooden stake x1'
usually very good aim, however the wolf was already far away from me so I would need to concentrate well and maybe a little bit of luck to hit it this time.
"fuuh~ get ready... lock on target.. and shoot!"
xiu...
//ow...//
[you have killed a level 0 mutant beast]
[you have acquired: wooden box x1]
haa~
I could finally breathe a sigh of relief knowing that I killed the wolf.
[save the rabbit's corpse]
[received]
"I got a little body from the fall but that wolf's claws hurt my shoulders a lot more, I'm definitely going to make a wolf skin rug as revenge."
I picked up the stone axe from the snow and started to walk towards the wolf's corpse but after a few steps I stopped.
"What the fuck?"
a huge polar bear of more than 3 meters landed next to the wolf's body and after sniffing it for a moment it took it between its jaws.
[warning you are in the presence of a level 1 mutant beast!]
[mutant beasts of level 1 and higher will ignore the players until after the arrival of the next wave of survivors or a player has reached that level accordingly however, if a player takes the initiative to attack a level 1 beast while at level 0 the beast in question will recognize the player and take action to hunt it].
'shit... I'm not even going to go near that thing'.
'pretty bear don't look at me, pretty bear don't look at me.... you can keep the doggy if you want, it's all yours..."
I started to back away slowly... one step back, then another and another and another and another, until finally I started to run away from it.
...
several minutes later I arrived at my shelter
//huff// //huff///
"hahh... ha.. haa... that was bad for my heart... just seeing that bear from far away filled me with fear."
I don't want to think about it but I feel like it was worse than when I saw the wolf pack the night before.
that was enough of an outing for me, I went inside the shelter and started to prepare a fire to warm myself and check my shoulders that were hurt fighting the wolf.
