*Bshhhhhttttsss*
Sounds of wind breaking the leaves were heard in the forest.
As always Alex felt like he went to another world, it was just so peaceful, birds chirping, sounds of hissing snakes, trees moving. It was like this place was untouched for thousands of years just now being explored by him.
"This makes me think that i am not in the Pacific at all, i feel like this island is more suited for the Atlantic... oh wait nah, it's the opposite... anyway, what do i hunt first." Alex moved his ongoing thoughts and focused on the situation.
He was trailing the same line he made before leaving the forest in the past, the crushed grass could make him remember the way he had to go.
"Let's go this way this time, i feel like i need to explore different paths to create a map at least a few kilometers wide," Alex said and went towards south this time, not north like before.
"I wish I could have found a compass, it would have been a big help," Alex said and went towards the trees.
--
As he was walking for a while, his ears detected something, no birds were chirping anymore, only brave wind was going through the entire forest, he was indeed in front of some kind of canyon, at first he thought he got Lucky but then he detected something.
"No birds are moving around, they have not stopped since i have come here, that can only mean... there is a strong Animal somewhere." Alex said, this was very unusual in the animal habitat, Birds were very tempting creatures, they risked their lives to fly into dangerous situations.
But they had good senses at that, they could detect if something powerful was near and escape the territory, and that is how they could tell the weather as well.
Alex very slowly got near the end of the canyon, he looked down, it was a rocky canyon that he could see.
"No, it's more like clay... well i will probably be able to find the materials i need here but clay is also good, i will be able to make different kitchen Utensils and Kitchen appliances..." Alex said this and went around the canyon.
He also looked around...
And for a beat of a second he stopped at one point, Alex slowly went on his back... and turned around with...
A Bow...
*BZZZSSSTTT*
The arrow went flying in one direction.
*ROOOARRR*
The sound of Feral Roar was heard around the forest as an enormous presence broke through the trees.
It was a brown boar.
"GOD!!! It's a sloth bear!!!" Alex ran away with his might.
*GRROOOARRRR*
Bear started to chase him.
Of course, Alex was not as fast as a Bear and he almost got caught many times, the only way he managed to survive was because he went around many trees that were bent and went on.
"Damnit!!! Why did i have to shoot the damn arrow to sloth bears are considered a more peaceful species of bears, bears that will not do anything if you don't fight them." Alex was cursing at himself, he looked down where the bear was trying to climb the tree he was in.
Like a true specialist in parkour, he pulled the branches and went higher up, Alex was lucky it was a long tree, if it wasn't he would be a goner right here. Sloth Bears are about 1.8 meters with an average of 220 pounds, they are not powerful enough to make a tree fall but...
"Damn!!!" Alex felt a simple tug and...
"AAAAHGGGHHH!!!" He jumped over to another tree just to see the tree he was standing on fall.
"I need to get away from this Beast, I am so lucky it's a sloth bear and not the other ones that could go out here, think... think... think..." Alex was thinking so much his hand started to scratch.
"I KNOW!!!" Alex thought about a plan, he jumped to another tree almost missing it and falling.
But this time luck was not on his side...
*ROOOARRRR*
sloth bear was already on the tree.
"Wait..." Alex felt something and looked back.
"NOOO!!!!" He yelled out as he watched The giant monster slash its paws at him with saliva coming out of its mouth.
He then in one second purposely lost his footing and fell.
He was about 3 meters high in the air, not something that would endanger his life...
But!!!
"AAGHGHH!!!" He put his hand on his mouth as his hand broke from the fall, he pulled his hand up and fell on that slowing his fall but also almost shattering his hand, or that is how he felt right now.
*ROOOARRR*
The sloth bear was angry its prey escaped and like nothing jumped off from the tree on the ground.
But Alex was quite far away already.
Sloth Bear continued to chase him but since Alex made quite a lead it could not catch up and turned back reluctantly.
--
"Agh!!! Agh!!! Agh!!!" Alex had blood coming out from his arm, it wasn't much and he was lucky for that, looks like he just broke it and not completely shattered it, his body was feeling so much pain he just wanted to scream, this was 3d time he was so close to death in his life.
"Damn it... i need to return... don't lose consciousness!!!" Alex calmed himself down as he ran towards the camp.
He needed to have a pin on his arm fast before the fragments went too around his hand and it would be impossible to put them in together.
Alex held his hand and ran towards his Camp...
A few minutes later he found it.
It was still a day, the Sun was peaking in the sky and he was sweating waterfalls kilograms.
"Ok... let's see!!! Ok... let's start... Ok...." Alex said this and put a simple construction with his mouth and one hand.
It was a little pin, he didn't even know how he made it, he just did it as he wrapped the thing around this hand... and without him noticing the pain he was feeling disappeared a lot, it was just in his mind he was feeling it...
"Damnit... this is painful." Alex felt he was about to pass out, and he could not hold it anymore, he forced himself awake went towards his food took a few bites out of it, went towards his hammock lying down, and lost consciousness, his hand was burning but he wanted to rest now.
"I am really hungry but damnn... let's just rest."
