'Will this rope actually work?'
'Probably not. But if the wolf isn't dead yet, it might use the rope to climb up on its own... and then get chopped to bits.'
Jiang Si glanced back at the corpse, buried him in snow, then found a sturdy-looking stick nearby. After sharpening it with a stone, she set off.
It didn't take long to get back to the ravine. Jiang Si cautiously peeked over the edge. The wolf she had knocked unconscious was awake and struggling to climb up.
Its will to live was so strong that Jiang Si almost couldn't bring herself to eat it.
Only after confirming she could deal a fatal blow the moment she hauled it up did Jiang Si slowly lower the rope.
The snow wolf was very smart. It smelled her scent on the rope and, assuming she had ill intentions, shied far away, nearly falling back into the ravine.
Jiang Si waited patiently. Without the rope, the wolf definitely couldn't get out.
It would have to take the risk eventually.
