As Su Ming continued to investigate in this forest, he also found a clue.

There are traces of frost on the Snow Ridge spruce trees on the northeast side.

On the surface of the tree trunk in the southwest position opposite it, there are the paw prints of the brown bear.

Obviously, this is the location where the two sides met for the first time and had a fierce confrontation.

The smell of blood in the air told Su Ming that one of the two had seen blood.

Following the smell that had not yet dissipated, Su Ming saw long-dried blood on the branches and leaves of a bush.

He possessed himself and sniffed lightly, distinguishing whether it was the blood of the brown bear or Ling.

After a long time, Su Ming stood up. As a wolf who had devoured the blood of the brown bear just now, he could clearly detect that the owner of the blood was not the brown bear.

It can only be Ling.

Not only that, judging from the extent to which the branches and leaves are half intact and half burned, the two have used their abilities to confront each other in this position.

The result is unknown, but Ling's ability can at least resist the flames of the brown bear, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to keep this area in good condition and not burn down.

Among them, there must be Ling's frost playing a certain role.

Su Ming followed the traces of the battle between the two sides and walked towards the north. After the deepening, the frost that belonged to Ling became less and less, but the flame traces of the brown bear began to increase.

The bushes on both sides have scorched traces. Fortunately, the brown bear also seems to understand that the forest environment should not be destroyed and the number of prey that can be eaten should not be reduced.

It did not set off a sea of ​​fire because of this, but tried to shrink its strength to follow Ling.

Su Ming walked all the way through the battle scene between the two, constantly keeping an eye on Ling's whereabouts.

When he saw the scene in front of him, he stopped in surprise.

This is a forest that is completely under the cold winter. The grass and trees within a few meters around it are completely frozen by the frost, and they have become ice sculptures.

Only at Su Ming's position, a giant circle appeared, dispersing the incoming frost.

Su Ming knew that this was where the brown bear stood at that time. Its scorching flames helped itself, successfully resisted the cold, and also temporarily blocked it in place.

After stepping over the ice layer and looking forward, Su Ming could see that there was a slender ice layer extending forward at the rear of the Frozen Ice Forest.

He could already imagine what happened at that time.

The two met for the first time, and they fought each other. Ling lost the opponent and was injured by the brown bear, and then began to flee into the distance, but how could the brown bear let go of the opponent in front of him and chase the injured Ling.

Seeing that it might be impossible to get rid of the brown bear, as a last resort, Ling turned on the ability to make it a burden. Otherwise, he should have used it at the moment of the confrontation. It will frost the surrounding and greatly delay it. Following the brown bear's pace, he escaped from the brown bear's sight with the help of his ability.

The ice layer stretched forward for a certain distance, and then there was no trace. It should be Ling who lifted this state.

Su Ming walked to the fracture of the ice layer and sniffed the breath above.

It has the smell of Ling and the body odor of a brown bear. It should be that after the brown bear broke through the frost, he looked for Ling's traces again, just like Su Ming now.

The smells of the two are mixed together, and although they have become extremely mixed, the routes they walk are the same, which is equivalent to showing Su Ming the road ahead.

Running fast, following the route of the two of them the day before, Su Ming walked deep into the north and came to the edge of a stream.

This should belong to the same river as the stream in the previous ibex habitat.

I didn't expect the span to be so big. From the northwest to the north, this stream has not yet reached the end.

At the same time, it was also in this place that the routes of the two changed again. It should not be said that Ling's smell disappeared, but the brown bear was left to circle in place, looking for each other's traces.

Ling should have used the water from the stream to wash off his own blood and cover up the smell on his body.

Su Ming stayed where he was, thinking about Ling's whereabouts.

If the other party can wash off the smell on his body, he must have crossed into the stream, so he is likely to walk to the other side.

Thinking about it, Su Ming jumped high, jumped to the other side of the stream, and came to the inner woods to explore.

Sure enough, in the bushes on one side, Su Ming smelled the familiar smell of blood and Ling's breath.

The cover of the stream didn't seem to last for too long, and Ling's injury didn't seem to be light, the frost itself couldn't completely condense, and the blood overflowed from the wound.

According to the guidance of the blood, it didn't take long for Su Ming to come to the position where the other party finally stopped.

A small cave, presumably this is Ling's temporary habitat.

Stepping into it, Su Ming eagerly wanted to meet the other party to see how it was and whether the injury was a problem.

Unfortunately, there was no wolf in the cave, and there was no Ling.

A few bones were scattered on the ground, and it seemed that Ling also had the habit of taking his prey to the cave and enjoying it slowly.

There was a lot of dried blood on the ground, and Su Ming also noticed that there were rhizomes of Imperatae.

This proves two points. First, Ling knows what kind of plants can heal wounds, and he doesn't know if it was cultivated by his long wandering experience.

Second, Ling returned to the cave to heal the wounds from the battle with the brown bear. uukanshu.com However, it should have been here to recover, but now it has disappeared. There is only one reason, the brown bear has arrived again.

Although the light in the cave was quite dim, Su Ming could still see traces of flames burning.

In particular, the position of the stone wall at the rear was burned out with a large area of ​​black surface, and the haystacks below were also burned down.

Obviously, it took the brown bear some time to finally find Ling's cave through its keen sense of smell.

But when it came, he encountered the same situation as Su Ming, and Ling left long ago.

The furious brown bear walked inside the cave, where Ling stayed, and destroyed all his belongings.

However, Ling, who had not been here for a long time, would have any treasures, except for the haystacks that he had slept on for many days.

And this has become the object of the brown bear's vent.

Ling's perception is very sharp, and he is indeed a stray gray wolf who travels in many areas.

It knew that the frost, and the stream behind it, could only hold the brown bear for a moment, so after returning to the cave, it quickly treated the injury and left here in a hurry.

Su Ming walked out of the cave and looked at the woods outside.

But where did Ling go after that?

Ling, who was smart and alert, didn't know what method he used, but 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 also couldn't find it.

Su Ming looked up at the sky, it was already sunset, and seeing that he could not find the other party in a short time, he had to give up temporarily and returned to the wolf's den first.

The forest at night is more dangerous than the daytime, and there is also the existence of the brown bear family.

.........

Not long after he left, a white figure flashed past the trees and headed north.
