Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 261: Exhausted Lu Ke

"Xu Yi, our stilt house won’t collapse, will it?" Lu Ke looked at the floor filled with potatoes and mangoes in the room and said worriedly.

Having so much food stored at once, she really wasn’t quite used to it.

"No, don’t worry. Tomorrow, we can start making dried mangoes. With so many potatoes, we’re good for five hundred days." Xu Yi said proudly, after all, having a water source and food in the wilderness meant other things weren’t an issue.

Once the walls were built, the camp’s security was fully enhanced.

As long as the organizers didn’t create unnecessary problems, they could stick to the camp for hundreds of days.

Meanwhile, by stocking up more food reserves, there would be no worries about food at all.

Not to mention, there were only thirty-one days left until a hundred days. Even if they just lay in the camp and did nothing, it would be fine.

"So we can eat potatoes often now?" Lu Ke felt that eating meat every day was really monotonous.

"Yes, eat as much as you want. There should be plenty of potatoes in this jungle, if we find another batch, we can completely solve the food problem for the rest of the four hundred days. With surplus food at home, there’s nothing to worry about." Xu Yi said with great confidence, it wasn’t just 40 to 50 pounds of potatoes, but 400 to 500 pounds, enough to eat freely.

Now that both he and Lu Ke had increased their strength so much, there was no need to worry about not catching prey.

As long as they didn’t act recklessly, the food would only increase more and more.

"Then we’ll eat potatoes tonight, that’s great, I’ll go and start cooking them." With that, Lu Ke quickly picked up a few potatoes, ready to cook dinner.

It was already past five, definitely time to start cooking.

"Lu Ke, how about trying to spar a few rounds with the giant wolf?" Xu Yi glanced at the giant wolf in the room, feeling that it had already fully recovered, and could be let out for Lu Ke to practice with.

"Sure, while it’s still light outside." Lu Ke agreed right away; she also wanted to know if she could handle the giant wolf.

So Xu Yi went to untie the ropes and dragged the giant wolf out.

Without taking off its muzzle, it couldn’t do anything to Xu Yi.

Now Xu Yi was very strong; dragging a 300 to 400-pound giant wolf was no problem at all.

Outside, Xu Yi removed its muzzle.

Initially, it wanted to bite Xu Yi, but was smacked by Xu Yi.

"Your opponent is me." Lu Ke saw the giant wolf baring its teeth at Xu Yi and walked over to block its view.

Xu Yi stepped aside, after all, Lu Ke was wearing black scale soft armor. Even if she got bitten, the injuries wouldn’t be too severe.

If he didn’t let her face it, releasing the giant wolf had no meaning.

Therefore, Xu Yi chose to step aside, leaving the battlefield to Lu Ke and the giant wolf.

"Ha!"

Lu Ke initiated the attack first, kicking the giant wolf in the neck.

Compared to Xu Yi’s strength, Lu Ke’s was much less.

But it was clear that the giant wolf, with its foreleg bent, was in pain.

After all, Lu Ke was wearing boots, which were quite hard.

This successfully angered the giant wolf though.

It may have some fear of Xu Yi, but not towards Lu Ke.

Moreover, it was very hungry and needed food.

In its eyes, Lu Ke was a delicious meal.

It had never eaten such food before, so saliva quickly secreted in its mouth.

It pounced and bit, actions fast and powerful.

"Xu Yi has a lot of guts, letting Loli Ke face the giant wolf like that?"

"Loli Ke is wearing black scale soft armor, even if the giant wolf bit her, it couldn’t bite through. Besides, isn’t Xu Yi holding a machete on the side just in case? He’d definitely rush in immediately if things went wrong."

"It’s only been 69 days, and Loli Ke can already solo a 400 to 500-pound giant wolf?"

"I think Loli Ke can handle it, she might be even more agile than Xu Yi."

When the giant wolf lunged at Lu Ke, she jumped out and, after a few rolls, stood up immediately.

Without a dagger, she attacked with her bare hands.

Her fist struck the giant wolf’s waist.

Bronze head, iron bones, tofu waist, this was what Xu Yi told her.

Not just giant wolves, most wild beasts have relatively fragile lower backs, especially at the spot of the backside.

The giant wolf didn’t expect to miss, and also got punched.

As it howled with pain, it turned to bite Lu Ke.

But what it met was Lu Ke’s fist.

This was a move she learned from Xu Yi yesterday, not expecting to actually pull it off herself.

"Good, beautiful!" Xu Yi cheered out loud.

Initially, he was worried Lu Ke might get a little roughed up.

But surprisingly, Lu Ke’s performance was excellent.

She was indeed quite agile, perhaps partly because she was relatively petite.

Of course, compared to Xu Yi, she was still somewhat lacking. But Xu Yi had used an Agility Enhancement Potion.

The giant wolf felt humiliated and immediately fought back.

Almost, almost caught Lu Ke with its bite.

Lunging, attacking.

One wolf, one person, going back and forth without a single pause.

Both were wearing each other down, feeling as if neither could really overcome the other.

The fight lasted nearly an hour before Xu Yi finally called it off.

Lu Ke’s stamina was very depleted by then, continuing would put her at a disadvantage.

Also, the practice goal had already been achieved, they could continue tomorrow.

Watching the giant wolf get its muzzle put back on, Lu Ke breathed a complete sigh of relief and collapsed onto the ground.

Exhaustion, this was her first time feeling so exhausted.

Afterwards, she had bitten her teeth and endured.

Fortunately, Xu Yi stopped the fight and re-muzzled the giant wolf. Otherwise, she felt she might have been torn apart by it.

Compared to her, the giant wolf seemed significantly better off.

After lying down for more than twenty minutes, Lu Ke regained a hint of vitality.

Xu Yi was just sitting next to her, quietly eating potatoes.

Gritting her teeth, Lu Ke sat up.

She felt pain all over, except for her head, nothing didn’t hurt.

"How’s it going, alright?" Xu Yi said, handing a potato to Lu Ke.

Lu Ke took it, didn’t peel it, just took a bite.

Too hungry, too lazy to talk, eating her fill first.

Only after eating did Lu Ke feel she recovered some strength. But all over, she still felt quite sore.

She had no idea how Xu Yi endured through the night before.

"I really didn’t expect to persevere. Now I feel like the giant wolf isn’t so terrifying." Lu Ke remarked, after all, she hadn’t used any weapons throughout. If she had, the giant wolf would have been dead by her hands.

Of course, mainly because it had been tormented by Xu Yi the previous night and hadn’t eaten, it wasn’t in peak condition.

Otherwise, if Lu Ke wanted to come out completely unscathed, that would have been impossible.
