Chapter 41 Injured Los: I feel a little sad

“Ouch—”

The wolves howled, as if it was a signal. Immediately, the other wolves surrounded them. Xu Nian heard Los shouting behind him, "Run! Don't look back!"

He didn't dare to delay, fearing that he would drag down Los because of his slow movements, so he immediately turned around and ran towards the mountain wall. The oncoming wolf didn't expect the snow leopard to rush directly towards him. When it was ready to fight, the other party immediately turned sideways and ran away from it, without any intention of fighting.

This familiar feeling made the wolf a little confused. Looking at the fleeing snow leopard, the wolf howled angrily.

Damn snow leopard! It almost didn't recognize it as the cunning snow leopard!

Xu Nian, who had been greatly changed by Los's care, was now running hard on the snow. He was using almost all his strength, pushing the ground with his hind paws and digging the rocks with his front paws, trying to escape to a higher mountain wall as quickly as possible.

As long as they reach a higher mountain wall, the wolves will not be able to continue chasing and encircling them.

But the wolves obviously knew this, so they had ambushed them halfway. One wolf suddenly jumped out from the gap, and Xu Nian was caught off guard and had no time to dodge. He was knocked to the rock, and his back hurt.

He struggled to get up, only to find that there was no trace of Los, who was supposed to catch up with him. He immediately panicked and looked around, and finally saw Los fighting with several wolves.

This was the first time Xu Nian faced a battle for survival between wild beasts, and it was much more cruel than he had imagined. When the wolves surrounded him, they had already identified Xu Nian as their hunting target.

Xu Nian was anxiously looking for a breakthrough point. He pretended to roar fiercely a few times, but this did not have much effect on the insidious and cunning wolf pack. From the way Xu Nian escaped just now, the wolf pack had already figured out the details of the snow leopard in front of them.

Xu Nian couldn't understand the howling of wolves, but he could guess that their howls echoing each other were definitely not good words.

A wolf launched the first attack. Xu Nian turned his head and tried to bite it, imitating Los. But before he could bite the wolf, a wolf next to him rushed over. He felt a sharp pain in his front leg, and Xu Nian couldn't help but scream.

As more and more wolves pounced on him and bit him, Xu Nian felt a little desperate. However, the pain he imagined did not appear. The wolf that was biting him was knocked away. Los's whole body was tense, his fur turned inside out. He lowered his body, stared at the wolves in front of him with fierce eyes, and let out an angry roar.

It protected Xu Nian behind it, and then gritted its teeth and said, "Can you still move?"

Xu Nian was only bitten on his front paw, luckily the injury was not serious, so he immediately replied, "Okay."

"Okay, go to the rock over there and don't come down." said Los.

The rock that Los pointed to was not very high, but it was indeed a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Xu Nian nodded. Even though his combat power was not high, jumping and walking between the rock walls was a unique skill of the snow leopard, and even a pack of wolves could do nothing about it.

The wolves also realized what Xu Nian was going to do, but just as they were about to stop him, Los turned around again and bit the wolf behind him that was trying to attack. He tried his best to protect Xu Nian and climbed up the rock. Then he looked at Xu Nian deeply and warned him, "Don't come down from up there! I'll come find you later!"

After saying that, it immediately took the initiative to fight with one of the wolves, then pretended to be injured and ran away. Seeing this, Xu Nian was about to move forward, but Los turned his head and shouted angrily: "I'm not injured! Lie still! Don't move! Wait until I come to you!"

Los was really angry, all the fur on his body stood on end, and his eyes were more ferocious than anything he had seen in years. He was stunned by the roar, but he also knew that he could not provide any help to Los.

Los pretended to be lame, and the wolves really took the bait and soon attracted the wolves. However, two of the wolves, who were suspicious by nature, stayed and wandered around Xu Nian. It was not until a long time later that the two wolves hesitated and left.

Xu Nian had never felt that time was so difficult to bear. Every minute and every second turned into the sound of wind and snow whistling in his ears. He tried several times to chase after Los, but he was afraid that he would get separated from Los in the process of looking for him, and the other party would be anxious if he couldn't find him.

Just when Xu Nian could no longer hold back, the figure of a snow leopard appeared in his sight. Xu Nian immediately stood up. He heard Los call out, then he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran over to Los's side.

"Where are you injured?" Xu Nian asked anxiously, "Is it serious?"

Los didn't expect Xu Nian to be so anxious. He was stunned for a moment. After Xu Nian rubbed against him several times, he stiffened his body and said in a slightly cold tone: "Go back first, I'm fine."

Xu Nian also knew that this place was not safe, so he immediately followed Los back obediently.

"You go ahead," Los said, "in case there are more wolves following us."

"Okay." Xu Nian raised his paw and scratched his nose, feeling a little annoyed that he couldn't smell anything, otherwise he could help identify whether there were wolves ambushing here. Fortunately, the journey was relatively safe. The two snow leopards walked towards the den one after the other.

On the ground, claw marks were left wherever Los walked, and blood dripped down the fur on his injured abdomen, flowing all the way.

When he returned to the nest, Los was about to lie down outside, but Xu Nian immediately gave up his place inside and said, "You go inside."

Los glanced at him and saw that there was still some panic in Xu Nian's eyes. His heart softened a little, and he no longer refused. He lay down in the nest and closed his eyes to rest.

When he was drowsy, Los felt a slight itch in his abdomen. When he opened his eyes, he saw Xu Nian clumsily lowering his head to lick his wound. Xu Nian was not even very skilled at licking his own fur, so licking Los's fur was already his highest level. He carefully extended his tongue to lick the wound, just like every time Los licked his fur.

"I'm fine." Los opened his eyes. He stopped Xu Nian's movements, leaned over and licked the side of Xu Nian's face, saying, "Don't be afraid."

Although Xu Nian didn't say anything, Los saw that his furry ears had been pressed back a lot. He licked Xu Nian gently, pressed Xu Nian to the ground, held him in his arms, licked his ears gently, and whispered, "It's just a minor injury. It will be healed in a few days."

Noticing the body in his arms trembling slightly, Los bit Xu Nian's ear again, then assured in a deep voice, "It's really a minor injury."

Xu Nian once again felt the feeling of dependence on each other. He and Los snuggled together. His sense of smell was almost useless, but when he got close to Los, he could still smell the strong smell of blood.

He rubbed the other party gently, opened his eyes, and looked at Los from time to time, fearing that Los would never wake up while he fell asleep. Listening to the strong beating of Los's heart, the whistling of the night wind, and almost hearing the sound of snowflakes falling, Xu Nian shook his tail gently. Seeing that Los was really asleep, he secretly imitated Los and once again plucked up the courage to put his tail gently on Los's body.

"Thank you." Xu Nian said in a low voice.

When Los woke up the next day, he felt severe pain in his abdomen. The so-called minor injury was just a warning to Xu Nian to stop him from worrying. In fact, he was almost bitten through the abdomen by a wolf. He lowered his head and licked the wound. He could see some dried blood under where he was lying. Fortunately, the bleeding had stopped. However, when he got up, the wound began to bleed slightly again.

Los had no choice but to lie down again and lick the wound anxiously.

It looked around and didn't see Xu Nian. When it was about to endure the pain and get up again to look for him, it heard the sound of claws stepping on the snow outside. It could tell it was Xu Nian's footsteps without having to get up.

Sure enough, after a while, a furry, dirty snow leopard's head squeezed in, holding a plateau rabbit in its mouth.

"..." Los glanced at Xu Nian, who had become a mess in just one night, and asked in confusion: "Where were you doing? Drilling a hole?"

"I guess so." Xu Nian shook his head and said helplessly: "This rabbit is too cunning. It refuses to come out. I can only dig a nest."

Xu Nian didn't want to say that after he caught the rabbit from the rabbit nest, he happened to see a Tibetan fox passing by. He didn't know how long the Tibetan fox stayed there, or whether he saw it sticking its tail up and digging in the rabbit nest.

In short, when he crawled out with the rabbit in his mouth, he turned around and saw the Tibetan fox with a shocked look on its face.

The rabbit was not big, but it was rare to find a rabbit in this season. Los looked at Xu Nian squatting in front of him, dirty all over. Although his fur was messy, Xu Nian's furry ears stood up, obviously he was happy to find this rabbit.

He raised his big furry paw, pushed the rabbit in front of Los, and said, "Eat it quickly, while it's fresh."

His tail hooked lightly behind him, occasionally swaying slightly. Ross gently raised his nose, sniffing the blood on the rabbit, and then asked, "Did you eat it?"

Xu Nian tilted his head slightly and nodded in response, "I have eaten. I am very full."

He didn't eat, but the food was too little and could not feed the two snow leopards. Xu Nian decided to wait and continue hunting. Whether it was a rabbit, a marmot, or even a bird, as long as it was edible, it would be fine.

"Don't stray too far from me. The wolves might be heading this way." Los got up, and blood immediately seeped out of the wound on his abdomen. Xu Nian said quickly, "Get down quickly and don't move. You need to heal your wounds well. Don't worry about the food, just leave it to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Nian's stomach made a very uncooperative sound, which directly exposed his previous clumsy lie. Xu Nian froze for a moment, and hurriedly put down his raised furry paw. He glanced to the side with a guilty look, not daring to look at Los.

He was thankful that his face was still covered by fur, otherwise it would have felt hot and red. He could only hastily lower his head and lick his paws. His furry ears trembled slightly, and he whispered, "I..."

"Let's eat together." Looking at Xu Nian's anxious and embarrassed expression, Los slowly got up, moved closer to Xu Nian, gently licked the side of his face, and said, "I'll get better soon."

Xu Nian's ears were pressed back, and he squatted on the spot. His obedient and obedient appearance made Los feel a little distressed.

After raising Xu Nian for a month, he kept him clean and pretty, but in just one night, he became dirty and pitiful again. Los' heart softened. How could this snow leopard survive without him?
