Chapter 19 As long as you understand, Los: Don’t trust other leopards

In a forest covered with heavy snow, a brown bear was walking with its head down. If you paid close attention, you would notice that it was tense and holding a bear cub in its mouth.

However, this was the body of a dead bear cub.

The world of beasts is like this, the strong prey on the weak, and all animals have to follow this rule to survive, even the little bear is no exception. Maybe this little bear will become a very powerful beast when it grows up, but now it is just an ordinary prey that died under the fangs of other beasts.

"Awooo--" The wolf pack started calling the roll in the early morning as usual. Waves of wolf howls came from different places. Sometimes Los really felt that having too good hearing was not a good thing. For example, now, this group of wolves liked to howl day and night, and they howled together as a group. He really felt like he was going to have a nervous breakdown.

But Xu Nian was sleeping very soundly, as if even the sky falling could not wake him up.

The busy morning began with the howling of wolves.

"Snap." With a light sound, the snow from last night was too thick and broke a small branch on the rock wall. Xu Nian opened his eyes and saw white everywhere. Even the snow leopard's den where they rested last night was covered with a thick layer of snow.

"Huh? It's snowing?" Xu Nian subconsciously stuck his head out to take a look outside, and then he heard Los's voice in his ear. It said in a calm tone: "Is there a day when it doesn't snow?"

Xu Nian shook his head and pulled himself back to his senses. He was very close to Los, but before he could speak, Los had already stood up and shook off the snow on his body. Because the den was so small, Xu Nian slept inside and Los slept outside, and half of his body was covered with snow. Fortunately, the snow leopard's fur was very thick, so there was no problem.

"It's snowing heavily," Los said. "I heard the brown bear roaring early in the morning. It sounded very angry."

"I... I don't know." Xu Nian was a little surprised. He really didn't know.

"You slept too deeply." Los sighed and said, "Don't go to the bottom of the mountain recently. There might be a conflict between the brown bear and other animals, or something might have happened to the cubs. In short, bears are very dangerous right now."

Los has been able to survive independently in the wild since he was over one year old. He has his own survival experience. Among the snow leopard clan, he is definitely the best.

What's more, the snow leopard is a top predator known as the "King of the Snow Mountains".

Xu Nian nodded, as always he was very obedient.

"Did brown bears roar like this in the past?" Xu Nian stood up and walked to Los' side, looking at the snow scenery with it. Everywhere he looked was the vast sky and earth. It was true that the higher you stand, the farther you can see. This scenery was something Xu Nian had never seen before.

The early morning sunlight fell on the two snow leopards. Los gently wagged his tail. He was a little annoyed that his tail was becoming more and more disobedient. When Xu Nian cast a puzzled look at him, Los simply pressed his tail with his paw. There was nothing unusual on his furry face, and his expression was as calm as ever.

For Xu Nian, when Los is not angry, he is definitely the most handsome among the snow leopards.

"Brown bears roar when they're angry, but not like this." Los licked his paw and noticed the tip of his tail was rising again. He immediately put his paw down and continued to hold down the tip of the tail. He said calmly, "This isn't called anger, it's called rage."

The furious brown bear is now searching for the culprit who killed the cubs, but in fact, no matter what animal approaches it, it will be killed without mercy.

It twitched its nose and walked slowly on the snow, making a crackling sound. The snowy owl standing on the dead branch tilted its head and watched the brown bear walking under the tree. It spread its wings, shook off the snow on them, and then stretched out its head to peck at its wings twice, shook its body, and continued to stand on the branch to watch the fun.

Xu Nian was raising his claws, hesitating where to land, when he ended up facing a vulture that landed in front of him. The vulture seemed to stretch its head and glance to see if Los was behind it. After making sure that it didn't see Los, it spread its wings proudly.

After so many days, it has obviously figured out Xu Nian's true strength and is well aware that this somewhat fluffy-looking snow leopard is a useless guy.

"...Los, is it laughing at me?" Xu Nian subconsciously turned his head and looked behind him. A moment later, a voice came from above his head. Los was descending from the mountaintop, claws scratching the rock wall as he slowly walked down. He casually glanced at the vulture and then denied it, "No, don't think too much about it."

Xu Nian's furry ears trembled slightly. After he said "oh" obediently, he raised his big paws and walked slowly along the mountain wall.

The vulture hadn't expected Los to be right here. Los had pounced on it twice before, and it had some psychological trauma towards this snow leopard. Before the snow leopard could flap its wings and fly away, Los lifted his eyelids to glance at it and said, "Are you not leaving yet?"

The big bird immediately flapped its wings and flew away, not intending to bother with the two snow leopards.

Los kicked his hind paws, knocking down a loose rock, and then continued to follow Xu Nian. His steps were obviously much steadier than Xu Nian's.

"Hey." When Kai'er's voice rang out, Xu Nian was about to turn around and walk back. He almost stepped on Kai'er's paw that suddenly stretched out. Kai'er was holding a rabbit in his mouth, not realizing that his paw was in danger of becoming red and swollen. His tail was dragging behind him. He put the rabbit on the open ground, but did not continue to climb up. He just said, "It's snowing so hard now that rabbits are hard to find. Can we catch one every two days?"

Kaie bargained, Xu Nian hesitated for a moment, and turned to look at Los behind him.

"Yeah." Los didn't care about the rabbit at all. He just wanted to use Kaie to try to change Xu Nian's fear of heights.

It could also see that Xu Nian was on high alert against Kaie, but it didn't know what he was on guard against.

"Or... it doesn't need to come up, I'll go get it every two days." Xu Nian gave his opinion to Los.

His eyes seemed determined, but in fact, if Los looked at him a few more times, Xu Nian would be intimidated. However, Los just glanced at him lightly and replied, "It's up to you."

Xu Nian breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly.

He didn't want to increase the chances of Kaie and Los talking to each other. At least before Los and Kaie came into contact, he had to get information about Luo Yin from Kaie's mouth.

After all, it seems that Kaier always looks shrewd and calculating, but he can't figure it out clearly and is very easy to break through.

Kaie glanced back and forth between Los and Xu Nian, and asked warily, "What do you want to do?"

It has not forgotten how much injustice it suffered from this shameless snow leopard when they first met.

Xu Nian tilted his furry head slightly. His eyes were rounder than those of Los and Kaier, and a hint of curiosity shone through his turquoise pupils. He looked harmless and answered honestly, "I want to do something for Los."

Los was enjoying the breeze nearby. He was a little far away from here, but even with the whistling wind in his ears, it did not prevent him from accurately finding the words he wanted to hear in the wind.

It had its back to Xu Nian, so Xu Nian couldn't see Los's expression. He only felt that its back looked extremely serious and handsome, and of course, its happily wagging tail was also very conspicuous.

After hearing Xu Nian's answer, Kaie thought for a moment, responded, and turned away.

"Have you known it before?" Los heard the sound of Kai'e leaving and Xu Nian approaching him. He turned his head to look at Xu Nian and asked, "Very familiar?"

"Not familiar." Xu Nian shook his furry head obediently.

"You were chased everywhere by it before, but now you're not afraid anymore?" Luo paused and added, "Not all snow leopards will take you in like I did, nor will they raise you into a useless snow leopard like Luo Yin did. Most will chase you like Kaie and steal your prey."

"That's quite hateful." Xu Nian followed suit and immediately realized the emotional value that Los wanted.

Sure enough, the snow leopard nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's good that you understand. Don't be so foolish as to trust another leopard after just meeting him twice."

Los's words were so serious that Xu Nian nodded and said, "I understand."

While Xu Nian continued to patrol the territory, Los lay alone on the rock wall. He reflected on what he had just said, then frowned and muttered softly: "Why am I telling him this? It's none of my business."

It felt a little regretful for saying these words, and then it hooked up its tail, pressed its body against its big furry tail, looked at the tip of its tail that was always injured, and thought that it was normal for this tail tip to need to be healed for a whole winter after being innocently injured again and again.

"Could this habit of biting other snow leopards' tails be learned from Luo Yin?" Los suddenly thought of a very crucial question, but quickly denied this conjecture and sneered, "Luo Yin is that useless guy, Xu Nian definitely won't bite his tail."

It felt the cold wind, its eyes half-closed, and after a long silence, it added, "Absolutely not."

The tip of its tail was slightly raised under its claws, and the hair on the tip of its tail was blown up, looking like a furry little ball, which seemed particularly incongruous compared to its very serious expression.
