Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 281: Astonishing Recovery Ability

Xu Yi walked over with the saddle, and the Giant Wolf immediately stood up, rubbing its head against Xu Yi’s thigh.

Without bothering with it, he placed the saddle on the Giant Wolf’s back.

Although the Giant Wolf was somewhat reluctant and wriggled a bit, it never attacked Xu Yi.

It was only at this moment that Lu Ke truly believed what Xu Yi had said, that the Giant Wolf had submitted.

Though it was incredible, Lu Ke was still very happy. If the Giant Wolf really became her mount, it would be quite impressive. Maybe it would shock all the viewers?

"It still needs leather. The hemp rope just isn’t fitting enough." After fastening it, Xu Yi noticed some issues, and the saddle was a bit too wide for the Giant Wolf.

So, he needed to make a new saddle to suit the Giant Wolf.

Xu Yi simply took it off, planning to make a suitable saddle for the Giant Wolf tomorrow.

"Tie it inside. Although it has submitted under our fists, there’s still a chance it could run away." Xu Yi told Lu Ke, hoping she could spend more time with the Giant Wolf to develop a bond.

Maybe because Lu Ke had just beaten it up, the Giant Wolf still had a bit of fear towards her.

Successfully leading the Giant Wolf into the house, Lu Ke tied it up.

After finally taming it, they couldn’t let it escape. If it ran away, she would lose her mount.

"Xu Yi, should we give it a name?" Lu Ke happily asked while petting the Giant Wolf’s head.

She really hadn’t expected to have a Giant Wolf as her mount, her pet.

"Sure, it’s your mount, so you name it." Xu Yi said with a smile. Since he could tame one Giant Wolf, he could tame a second one.

"Alright, it kind of looks like a Husky, so... let’s call it... Jaha?" Lu Ke said, glancing at Xu Yi.

Xu Yi twitched his lips. It seems like Lu Ke wasn’t great at naming either.

Jaha?

Giant Husky?

Okay, Jaha it is then.

"Not bad, very distinctive, and fitting for its character." Xu Yi found an way to flatter it.

"I’ll take that compliment, hey, Jaha." Lu Ke said happily, patting Jaha’s head with an overly joyous expression.

Jaha glanced at Lu Ke, then at Xu Yi.

It felt more familiar with Xu Yi, but only had a sense of fear towards Lu Ke. Yet, it had no intention of attacking her.

Lu Ke was still very happy now and probably wouldn’t be able to sleep for a while, so Xu Yi didn’t rush her to rest either.

She took some jerky to feed the Giant Wolf, and only after half an hour did she go upstairs to rest.

Xu Yi also went back upstairs, but didn’t sleep; instead, he was carving bamboo arrows by the fire.

Once Lu Ke fell asleep, Xu Yi went to bed to rest.

It was a peaceful night. Early the next morning, Lu Ke got up on time.

Upon seeing Xu Yi with his back to her, Lu Ke carefully lifted his vest to check his waist.

The bruises had faded and the four wounds had scabbed over.

Seeing this, Lu Ke got up and went downstairs with peace of mind.

Going downstairs, she fed Jaha some jerky and then practiced the Eighteen Forms of Body Strengthening and Fighting Techniques.

Xu Yi woke up after more than half an hour.

"System, check in." Xu Yi completed the 80-day check-in mission, indicating that they had survived on this planet for 75 days.

He touched his back, where the wounds had completely scabbed over.

Apart from a slight itch, he felt no pain.

His recovery ability was exceptionally strong. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Xu Yi didn’t know whether it was due to the enhancer he had injected or the nature of the planet.

Lu Ke already had mended the rip in his clothes, which were hanging at the side.

Xu Yi put on his clothes and went downstairs.

"Morning." Lu Ke said cheerfully when she saw Xu Yi jump down from the second floor.

This meant Xu Yi’s waist was no longer a problem.

After all, she had sneakily looked at him in the morning and saw he was recovering well.

"Morning." Xu Yi smiled and joined the training.

After finishing their training, the two took a break and then ate breakfast together.

"Xu Yi, are we going out today?" Lu Ke asked, feeling that since Xu Yi got injured yesterday, it might be better to stay home and do some crafts today.

"Yeah, let’s head out and have a look. We haven’t been to the traps for a few days, so we should check them. Also, we need to see how the wild vegetables are doing. If they’re all frozen, we need to hurry and bring them back to make pickles." Xu Yi felt that since he was fine, there was no need to stay cooped up at home.

There wasn’t much to do at home either, and the saddle could be worked on in the evening.

"Should we bring Jaha?" Lu Ke thought it might be good to bring Jaha when hunting.

"Let’s not. It can’t understand our commands yet and still needs training. If it runs off, it won’t be worth it." Xu Yi thought it wasn’t the right time to take the Giant Wolf outside yet.

After all, it was wild and hadn’t undergone any training. Taming it didn’t mean it could understand and execute Xu Yi’s commands.

The fact that it wouldn’t attack Xu Yi and Lu Ke was the biggest achievement at the moment.

"Hmm, you’re right." Lu Ke agreed wholeheartedly.

Xu Yi put the muzzle back on Jaha, in case while they were out, it bit through the rope and ate Dabai.

A fresh cup of milk every morning was a treat, and Xu Yi didn’t want Jaha to end their milk supply plan.

After organizing their things, Xu Yi and Lu Ke headed out.

The livestream room started to buzz with activity.

Everyone was surprised to see Xu Yi and Lu Ke going out.

After all, Xu Yi was injured just yesterday, and they had seen the wounds.

After just one night, Xu Yi was out with Lu Ke again.

And looking at Xu Yi, there was no sign he’d ever been injured.

The two first went to where the wild vegetables were growing, and found that most of them were still standing, not frozen to death as expected.

This result made Xu Yi quite satisfied.

This way, they could still enjoy fresh wild vegetables.

However, on their way there, most of the plants seemed lively, with the frozen ones being in the minority.

The two picked some fresh wild vegetables, then headed towards the traps.

From afar, they could hear squeals.

"Xu Yi, doesn’t that sound like a wild boar?" Lu Ke curiously asked, as it sounded like the noise made when slaughtering pigs to her.

"Sounds like it. Let’s go check it out. Maybe, we’ve caught a wild boar." Xu Yi said excitedly, quickening his pace.

After all, they had good hearing, so being four or five hundred meters away from the traps meant they couldn’t see the situation there.
