Chapter 30 The lie comes true Xu Nian: It’s urgent!

The snow fell for two whole days. When it stopped, Xu Nian realized what a gift from nature was.

All he saw was a vast expanse of white snow. It seemed as if there was no living thing on the entire snowfield. It was almost dead silent. It was not until the familiar howling of wolves came from afar that Xu Nian was pulled back from the lonely and somewhat frightened atmosphere.

Snow leopards are solitary animals that like to live alone. But Xu Nian thought that if he spent the rest of his life sitting here, facing the endless snowfield and listening to the whistling wind, it would indeed be too lonely.

But everyone is like this, all snow leopards are like this.

Whether it was him, Los, or Kaie, they all had the same fate.

However, he soon heard a long whistle, and several vultures spread their wings and flew sideways past Xu Nian, circling high in the sky, searching for their prey in the vast snowfield.

Several wolves appeared from nowhere and were chasing a sheep. They were hunting. The snowfield seemed to burst with vitality again in an instant.

This is a world full of wildness and freedom.

Soon, a snow leopard came into his sight. He didn't see it at first, but as soon as the snow leopard moved, Xu Nian subconsciously noticed it.

The snow leopard's agile body flew across the rock walls. Even if it was several meters away, it would jump without hesitation and chase the blue sheep that was fleeing in front of it. When there was still a considerable distance between the two, the snow leopard suddenly pounced and bit the blue sheep's neck, but in this way, it could not maintain its body stability.

It fell from the mountain wall together with the struggling blue sheep in its mouth, and hit the snow directly from a height of more than ten meters. Then it slid down the snow and was hit by protruding rocks several times along the way. But from beginning to end, the snow leopard did not let go of its mouth until it finally stopped.

It calmly got up, holding the mountain goat in its mouth, and prepared to walk up the mountain. However, it seemed to sense something and raised its head to look over here.

Even though they were so far away and he couldn't see the other person's expression, Xu Nian just felt that Los was looking at him.

Sure enough, after waiting for a while, Los had already returned with the blue sheep. It was not easy to drag such a large blue sheep back here. He looked at Xu Nian who was squatting there obediently, and casually threw the blue sheep down and threw it in front of Xu Nian, saying calmly, "Eat it."

It was as if the snow leopard that had just fallen from a height of more than ten meters with the blue sheep was not it.

Los told him to rest for a while and heal his injuries, and he really meant to rest for a while, so he didn't let Xu Nian go hunting with him.

"I saw you fall. Does it hurt?" Xu Nian thought his question was nonsense. Of course it hurts to fall. But just as he was about to see how badly Los fell, Los's tail stiffened and he stretched his neck away from Xu Nian. He glanced sideways at where Xu Nian had been lying before and changed the subject: "Are you still afraid to go to the edge of the cliff? What snow leopard is afraid of heights?"

Xu Nian is a smart snow leopard. He immediately understood that Los did not want him to see its injuries. It seems that this wild snow leopard really cares about its reputation.

Xu Nian immediately echoed what Los said and responded, "I am a little afraid of heights. I fell before, and it was pretty bad."

Hearing this, Los turned and looked at Xu Nian. He didn't say anything, but his eyes were obviously full of questions.

The two snow leopards stared at each other for a moment. Xu Nian had a new understanding of Los's persistence. He said helplessly, "When I was little, I was pushed off a cliff by someone... by another animal, just like that time with the snowy owl. So I'm a little scared."

In fact, it was because his grades were too good that he was bullied by some people and suffered psychological trauma.

But it doesn't matter, he will comfort himself.

He has always known how to survive, knows how to read people's expressions, and in order to stay alive, he has been a smart and sensible child.

"That rotten bird." The last time Los called it a rotten bird was the vulture that frightened Xu Nian. This time, it was the Snowy Owl that got that name. Los said coldly, "I'll avenge you next time."

Xu Nian laughed. He took the initiative to move closer to Los and rubbed him gently as a gesture of goodwill. He didn't dare to be too presumptuous and only dared to test carefully. After making sure that Los did not resist, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he also stopped at that point.

The tail behind Los was almost waving like a fan.

The body of the mountain goat was right next to Xu Nian. When he leaned over to smell it, he felt that the smell of blood was much weaker than before. He thought it might be because the wind was too strong and blew away the smell.

He didn't think too much about it. He lowered his head and ate the blue sheep with Los. The two snow leopards were very close to each other. Xu Nian could almost feel the heat from Los, but compared to this, he felt that the feeling on his back was more obvious.

So he stopped eating, turned his head and looked at his back. Sure enough, the tail of a snow leopard was shaking and sliding across his back. It didn't hurt, but the touch was a bit strange, even gentle.

However, seeing that Los did not notice this, he guessed that the snow leopard's tail had its own thoughts, so he remained silent.

After eating the prey, they simply lay down to rest, trying to reduce physical energy consumption as much as possible. After all, when there is little prey, physical strength is the basis of their survival. Los lay beside Xu Nian, turned his head and licked his body.

The snow leopard's tongue, like that of other cats, has some barbs, and it feels very comfortable when licking the body. Xu Nian groaned softly and felt the snow leopard's body stiffen slightly. He turned his head with some confusion and met Los's somewhat obscure eyes.

Finally, Los suddenly stood up and lay alone on the edge of the cliff before Xu Nian could speak.

"What's wrong?" Xu Nian looked confused, not knowing why the snow leopard was in a bad mood again.

He lay on the ground with his tail hanging casually behind him. Feeling a little unsure of where to put his tail, he simply hugged his long furry tail in his arms, rolled around twice, and found a suitable position to continue lying down with his tail pressed down.

It tucked its two furry front paws in front of it and looked at Los seriously. Perhaps Xu Nian's gaze was too obvious for Los to ignore, so it turned back and looked at Xu Nian. Its ears twitched slightly and it said, "Your head is not well yet. Go to bed."

"It's healed now." Xu Nian sighed, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

The pain had gone away yesterday, but he had to admit that it was really uncomfortable when his head hurt. Fortunately, the worst had passed. He lowered his head and licked the fur on the back of his paw.

Compared with the snow leopard's body, its claws and tail appear particularly large. Xu Nian sometimes falls into deep thought when he looks at his claws that look like they are wearing plush slippers.

But the benefits of such claws are very obvious when walking on mountain walls or snow piles.

Just when the two snow leopards were full and ready to rest, Xu Nian suddenly heard some movement, as if something was approaching. He immediately became alert, straightened his body, which was originally lying on the ground, and pricked up his ears vigilantly, listening to where the movement came from and determining the direction in the whistling wind.

Then, he turned his head suddenly and saw a furry head appear in front of him. It was the familiar snow leopard - Kaie.

The other party was holding a rabbit in his mouth, which he had obviously caught with great difficulty. He put the rabbit on the ground, licked his fangs with his tongue with some reluctance, and said reluctantly: "Rabbit, fresh."

Los responded casually, not even bothering to get ready.

Kaie didn't want to stay here any longer, as it was a bit dangerous for him, so he gently backed away, and after reaching a safe distance, he turned around and ran down the mountain.

Ross stood up and prepared to carry the rabbit away, but when he approached Xu Nian, he found that he was still looking in the direction Kaie had left. His eyes suddenly turned cold and he said unhappily, "Are you familiar with it?"

"I'm not familiar with him." Xu Nian answered reflexively. After realizing what was happening, he smiled and said, "Have you noticed it was Kaie who came?"

"Hmm, its smell is very obvious." Los turned his head and rubbed his head. He circled around Xu Nian and lay down beside Xu Nian very naturally. He also looked in the direction where Kai'e left and said, "Don't look at it. It's running away."

Xu Nian shrank his neck, lowered his head timidly and licked his paws.

Next to his paw was the rabbit that Kaier had just delivered. There were two obvious blood holes on the rabbit's body. Perhaps because the weather was too cold, the blood that flowed out of the rabbit coagulated after a while, and it was very obvious on its white fur.

Xu Nian estimated that in a moment or two, the rabbit would be frozen solid.

He lowered his head and sniffed twice, then sniffed towards Los, and finally sniffed the remaining blue sheep. This behavior made Los a little confused, and he lowered his head and asked, "What are you smelling?"

"I feel like the smell of rabbit blood seems a little lighter." Xu Nian asked carefully.

His heart was pounding, and while he was speaking, he was trying to breathe in, as if that would help him smell more clearly.

"If the wind is too strong, it will also blow away the smell of blood. If the temperature is too low, once the blood coagulates, the smell will be much less." Los shook his tail lightly, not paying any attention to it. He said, "This is common sense."

"Oh." Xu Nian nodded in response. There seemed to be nothing unusual on his furry face, but Los sensed that something was wrong with Xu Nian's mood. He frowned and asked, "Do you have a headache again?"

"No." Xu Nian shook his head sincerely and said, "Really not."

He really didn't have a headache, he just felt that the smell seemed to have become much weaker.

The smell of both the mountain goat's blood and the rabbit's blood had become much lighter. If you didn't smell it carefully, you couldn't even smell it. But if you tried hard to smell it, you could still smell the blood. However, when Kaie came, he really didn't notice it.

Because he didn't smell Kaie's scent at all, including when Kaie put the rabbit in front of him, he didn't smell Kaie's scent, but Los could smell it from such a distance.

Xu Nian raised his paw and gently scratched his nose, his eyes showing a trace of doubt and uncertainty, his heart was extremely anxious -

Could it be that his lies came true?
