Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 176 Poplar Forest

Upon hearing this, the wolf cub beside her actually joined in with a "woof~", seemingly agreeing with what Su Yue said.

However, none of this escaped Su Yue's notice. She glared at the wolf cub and said irritably, "Well, you're quite the actor! I think you deserve a little golden statuette!"

The wolf cub that was exposed on the spot deflated instantly like a punctured balloon, its previous arrogant and imposing demeanor completely gone.

Its eyes, which had originally gleamed with cunning, now became evasive, avoiding eye contact.

A hint of embarrassment and awkwardness appeared on the wolf's face, like a child caught red-handed doing something wrong.

The wolf cub, which had been raising its front legs high in preparation to pounce on its prey, now lowered its head and slowly moved away from Su Yue's legs.

As the wolf king was drinking water, he suddenly stopped, not even bothering to lick the water droplets from his mouth.

The reason was simple: the wolf cub in front of him was simply too embarrassing for him.

Back in the day, this little guy was known among the wolves for his laziness and cunning.

Whenever the wolf pack finally manages to catch food, it is always the first to approach the other wolves and whine and beg for food.

Often, before the other wolves can react, it will start howling and howling, as if it has suffered a great injustice.

During routine patrols, this guy often finds opportunities to slack off, either hiding in a corner to sleep soundly or sneaking off to play.

At this moment, the wolf king, having reached its limit, finally strode forward and walked menacingly toward the wolf cubs.

It opened its blood-red maw and bit down on the wolf cub's head, after which the wolf cub let out a series of whimpering sounds.

However, the wolf cub was quite clever. Taking advantage of the moment when the wolf king loosened its grip slightly, it used all its strength to break free and ran to Su Yue's side in a flash, where it began to act coquettishly.

"Awoo~" it let out a soft cry, as if telling about the grievances it had suffered.

Seeing this, Su Yue felt a pang of heartache and quickly comforted her gently, "Oh dear, little darling, are you hungry? Don't worry, I'll get you something delicious right away."

It has to be said that Su Yue absolutely adored this wolf cub.

Don't let his young age fool you; he's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yue took out a huge pig leg from her spatial storage and threw it to the other wolves around her to replenish their energy.

Then, she took out a whole basket of strawberries, picked one up, and fed it to the wolf cub.

The wolf cubs here are eating with great relish;

Over there, the chubby little boy, who had been lazily lying down, smelled the sweet aroma in the air.

It wriggled its round, chubby body and followed closely closer, blinking its big eyes and looking expectantly at the strawberries in Su Yue's hand, clearly wanting to get a bite too.

Su Yue handed the basket over and let Xiao Pang choose for himself.

When the sun shone, Su Yue and her group set off again.

This time, it was still the wolf king who led the team forward.

As evening approached, Su Yue spotted a golden poplar forest in the distance.

The forest looked particularly magnificent in the afterglow of the setting sun, and in the middle of the forest, there was a small but crystal clear pool of water.

A gentle breeze rippled across the water. "Ah Yue, look! There seem to be a lot of trees ahead!" Dali excitedly pulled Su Yue beside him and pointed ahead.

As she drew closer, Su Yue finally saw the true face of the poplar forest. Sadly, very few trees had survived; most were dead and lying on the ground.

These fallen tree trunks lay scattered about, some eroded by wind and sand, leaving only withered branches. They seemed to have been sleeping here for many years.

Nevertheless, Su Yue recalled a legend she had heard about the poplar tree: the poplar tree can stand for thousands of years without falling, and even after death, it will not decay for thousands of years.

So even if there is only one poplar tree here that survives tenaciously, more than ten kinds of plants adapted to the desert environment, such as tamarisk, bell thorn, and camel thorn, will grow around it.

Under the protection of the poplar trees, these plants together form a small desert oasis.

This oasis not only provides a habitat for various animals struggling to survive in the desert, but also represents a glimmer of life and hope in this barren desert.

Just then, Su Yue suddenly noticed a large amount of small animal droppings scattered on the ground.

Curious, she squatted down to observe carefully, and soon discovered a type of sea buckthorn fruit hanging all over the branches.

The bright red fruits, like strings of tiny lanterns, dotted among the green leaves, are quite a sight.

This was something she didn't have in her space, so Su Yue simply found a small sea buckthorn tree and put it into her space, roots and all.

The wolf king led the pack to the lake, where they eagerly plunged their heads into the water and began to drink greedily.

Not far away, Huang Mao was alertly looking around, not missing a single rustling sound.

The blond-haired man kept his head down, his nose close to the ground, carefully sniffing the surrounding feces.

These excrements emitted various different smells, some strong and pungent, while others faintly exuded a familiar odor.

With his keen sense of smell, Huang Mao tried to identify which animals the feces came from.

Standing to the side, Su Yue quietly observed everything before her, feeling quite satisfied with this tranquil and beautiful place.

The lake water was crystal clear, and a gentle breeze caressed my face, bringing a touch of coolness.

With trees nearby that could block out the sun in the morning, Su Yue decided to stay here tonight.

However, at this seemingly peaceful moment, a series of urgent "Awoo, Awoo" sounds suddenly rang out!

The voice was unusually urgent, instantly shattering the previous tranquility.

Su Yue's heart tightened, and she quickly ran towards the blond-haired boy who had made the sound.

When she arrived, she saw that Huang Mao was still looking down, intently smelling the pile of feces on the ground. Then he suddenly turned around and stared intently at Su Yue.

Su Yue looked at the feces on the ground, unable to distinguish them, but she could see a huge pile of feces right in front of her!

Its size is astonishing, so there must be a huge thing inside.

But what kind of animal could it be? I really can't think of one for the moment.

I couldn't help but feel uneasy. What if this big guy came in the middle of the night while everyone was asleep? I didn't even want to think about the consequences.
