Salt can attract deer, but salt cannot keep it. If Zhang Zi'an tried to approach the deer at this time, even if he only walked a few steps back, he might scare the deer away. Moreover, deer is an alert animal. Even if he loves to lick salt, he will not regard salt as more important than life. Therefore, once he is frightened, he may escape from afar and never get close.

So Zhang Zi'an could only pretend to be fine. Even though he knew that Lu was in the woods about fifty meters behind him, he could not act too impatient. He was not good enough like a man who had never seen a woman. When he first met on a blind date, he talked about the four-piece set on the bed who wanted silk or pure cotton. It would probably scare the girl so much that she turned around and ran away. The same was true for Lu.

Visitors rarely visit this virgin forest in depth. At most, they drive through or look for a few officially recommended trails. Even if they check in successfully, the deer here is different from the deer in Muir Park. There is a popular scenic spot next to San Francisco, and deer has long been used to people.

As for how many deer are behind you, one or a group, and what kind of deer they are, it is not clear. The biggest possibility is that the deer is exploring the wind, and the large army is still in the woods farther away.

The elves seemed to make sense when they heard him say it, especially the metaphor of blind date was easy to understand, but they inexplicably felt sympathy for him.

Extinguished the bonfire that was cooked at noon and buried with soil to prevent the ashes from rekindling. He put on his backpack and set out on the trip again. The diameter of the pores of the seasoning bottle cap was adjustable. He had only opened half of it before, but now he opened the pores to the maximum so that the salt leaked more, so as to prevent the deer behind him from feeling that there was too little salt and was not satisfied and left halfway.

Although he only had one seasoning bottle, he bought several boxes of salt and could supplement it as soon as he used it.

He brought a lot of things like this, which may be useful or useless, so the backpack was particularly heavy.

"Femas, Mr. Tea, Vladimir, and Fina, you should be more vigilant."

Not long after leaving, Zhang Zian saw that the elves were curious about the deer behind him, and looked back from time to time, so he reminded him.

"Oh?" Lao Cha was shocked, "Is that new elf approaching?"

Zhang Zian looked down at his phone. It was obvious that the distance between the elf on the electronic map was indeed getting closer and closer, but it was not as close as it was. What he cared more about was other things.

"The deer is still behind?" he answered in a question.

Lao Cha nodded, "It seems to be closer than just now, the number... I have seen two or three heads at present."

Zhang Zian said: "The deer is following us, but there are beasts in this primeval forest, including black bears, cougars and coyotes. The deer is also one of the main preys of these beasts, so... the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind us, we are equivalent to that cicada!"

After he said this, the elves understood the potential dangers of things.

Originally, it was a low probability that tourists and hikers would encounter beasts in this forest. Because people were not in the recipes of beasts, beasts also knew that people were not easy to mess with, so they would avoid them when they heard the footsteps of people and smelled them... But now the situation is different. The beasts also had to make a meal. They were really hungry. Even if they knew that there were people nearby, they could not let go of these deer that focused on licking salt. If people didn't know what to do, they probably wouldn't mind adding an appetizer.

"Ga?" Richard was shocked, "I am so thin, I shouldn't be interested in bears, lions, etc."

"I can't say it's right, maybe I'm just trying to change my taste." Zhang Zi'an said half-jokingly.

The elves cheered up and no longer paid too much attention to the deer behind them, but looked more in front and side to prevent sudden attacks from beasts. Be especially careful of the lion. This small lion is very suitable for hunting and ambushing in the mountains and forests. It may even be hidden in trees. When the prey passes by, it jumps down and bites its neck when it hits the prey’s back and catches the other party off guard.

It was almost evening, and Zhang Zi'an saw that it was dark and it was not suitable to continue moving forward, so he found a place to camp.

It is best to camp near the water source, whether it is a stream or a lake, but in the forest, water sources cannot be found by searching. Often, we encounter a stream when we don’t need to camp, and we can’t even find a puddle when we need to camp. This is really annoying.

After a crisis in the desert, he is now more concerned about the potential danger of water shortage than ordinary hikers, and he must prepare for the future before signs of water shortage appear.

Just as he watched the sky turn quickly and was secretly anxious to find the water source before dark, Fina suddenly reminded: "The deer behind them will not follow."

He hurriedly turned around and saw that the deer had indeed stopped, looking at him alternately and a path on the side where animals stepped out, as if he was hesitating.

After a moment, the leading buck took the lead on the trail, and the other deer followed one by one.

Did they lose interest in salt? Or did they think it was dangerous?

or……

Zhang Zian suddenly thought that people should drink water and deer should drink it. Eating grass alone cannot meet the body's need for moisture, not to mention that they licked so much salt along the way, so they would definitely be more thirsty than usual!

Deer live by water and plants, and has the instinct to find salt and water. Just as a camel can find water in the desert, deer can also find water in the forest.

"Femas."

He yelled at Feimath and gestured to it, not following Mike's scent for the time being, but instead changed directions, keeping parallel to the animal's path, walking in the same direction.

The road is rugged and difficult to walk. The ground is covered with dense ferns, which are often blocked by the growing roots. Coupled with the towering trees and mist surrounding it, it seems like traveling to the world of "Jurassic Park".

The roots raised on the ground are about one meter high. When they encounter roots blocking the road, the elves can jump over easily. They can only take off their backpack, push them over first, and then turn them over to carry them on. It is extremely painful.

He bet on the group of deer to find water to drink, and he was very sure that his guess was correct, but he was not sure how far the water source was from them, if it was very far away...

After walking like this for twenty or thirty minutes, the sky became darker and darker.

Is there really a source of water ahead?

At this time, the elves with sharp hearing almost said in unison: "There is a sound of running water ahead!"

Zhang Zian, whose confidence was getting weaker and weaker, seemed to have been given a cardiotropic injection, and his body was instantly filled with motivation.

After walking for a while, the peak was turned around, and just after walking around a few big trees, a gurgling stream suddenly appeared in front of them.

The deer had already quietly sipped the stream water by the stream.
