Chapter 53 Picking up the prey Xu Nian: Two blue sheep, Los is really powerful...

Since Los's tail was injured and was stepped on several times by Xu Nian when he crawled over him, this wild snow leopard could be said to have completely scammed Xu Nian.

Xu Nian almost wanted to hold Los's fragile tail in his claws.

"If you want to see, then look openly." Los half-crouched on the cliff. The snow had lightened a bit today, but that was good news. He gently wagged his tail. He caught a glimpse of Xu Nian's occasional glances from the corner of his eye. He raised his head slightly and said with a haughty expression, "You're responsible for what you do. That's what you said."

"...But..." Xu Nian wanted to say that it was Kaie who stepped on the tail, but after meeting Los's eyes, he could only smile awkwardly and take the blame.

He really never thought that a snow leopard would commit fraud.

In the afternoon, the wind and snow gradually showed signs of stopping. After Xu Nian turned around twice, he was ready to go down the mountain. He glanced at Los, who was resting with his eyes half closed.

In fact, Los had already woken up when Xu Nian stopped circling. He just didn't open his eyes, but his furry ears had already stood up, listening carefully to any slight movement of Xu Nian. When he heard Xu Nian was about to go down the mountain, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xu Nian.

"Where do you want to go?" Ross asked.

The sudden words startled Xu Nian so much that he almost missed a step. After flailing around with his claws, Los grabbed the back of his neck, and he finally managed to stand steady. He turned around helplessly and said, "I'm going hunting."

Los let go of Xu Nian and licked his paws with his tongue. He glanced casually at the foot of the mountain. The snow was much lighter at this time, which was indeed very suitable for hunting. Even the vultures had increased in number, and they obviously wanted to catch more prey now, otherwise it would be even more difficult to find prey if there was another blizzard later.

"I'm hunting nearby." Xu Nian looked at Los's tail with heartache, and then said firmly: "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of your tail."

Los shook his tail gently, and it didn't hurt much, but when he saw Xu Nian's look of concern for him, he quietly put his tail down again, as if he couldn't move.

Xu Nian had already seen the flexible tail, and he took the initiative to look away, as if he saw nothing.

In the end, it was Los who took Xu Nian down the mountain to hunt. He was not really willing to let Xu Nian go down the mountain alone. If he met Luo Yin, Los would regret it to death.

This hunting trip was quite successful. Almost as soon as they came down the mountain, they encountered a blue sheep that was about to go up the mountain. The other party did not expect to see two snow leopards as soon as it turned a corner. Their eyes met, and the blue sheep almost turned its head and ran away quickly, but it was still not as fast as Los.

If the mountain goat could escape at such a close distance, then Los would be completely disgraced.

But when Los turned around, he found that Xu Nian, who was supposed to be waiting for him on the cliff, was gone!

It was stunned for a moment, thinking it had seen it wrong. It looked around and found that Xu Nian was really gone.

"Fell down?!" Maybe it was because Xu Nian had too many previous convictions, Los subconsciously thought that Xu Nian slipped and rolled down. After all, Xu Nian often fell before, but after he learned hunting, he rarely fell. But there is always a chance of something happening, and Los immediately became anxious. He didn't even care about the prey and looked everywhere for Xu Nian's traces.

…

Xu Nian was watching Los hunting, but a gust of wind and snow blew over, and he narrowed his eyes. He subconsciously lowered his head to rub his eyes and licked his paws. When he looked up again, there was no trace of Los.

He subconsciously stood up and was about to follow the direction of Los to find him, but he didn't expect to see Los walking with prey in his mouth on the opposite cliff. Xu Nian subconsciously tilted his head slightly, looked at the place where Los had just appeared in confusion, and then looked at the opposite side. He was a little shocked that Los was running so fast. However, in the time it took him to lower his head and raise his head again, the other party was able to go directly to the opposite side and successfully caught a blue sheep.

Xu Nian immediately walked up to greet the other party with a happy step.

He held his furry tail in his mouth, stepped on the snow with his paws, and moved closer to the stone wall. The more he walked, the more he felt that Los was really amazing. He could fly over such a steep cliff so quickly.

Xu Nian's speed was naturally not as fast as Los's, but he was not impatient. He walked steadily in the direction where he had just seen Los, ready to bring back the prey.

When Los was hunting, he held the prey in his mouth from behind. They always worked well together. Usually, he only held the marmot in his mouth. Large prey like the mountain sheep were held by Los himself. But now Los's tail was injured and he stepped on it several times. Xu Nian decided to be more attentive and let him drag the prey back this time.

He had a good idea, but the further he went, the more familiar the road seemed to him, as if it was leading to Kai's nest. Xu Nian paused for a moment, a little hesitant, but the other party was indeed walking towards this side, so after hesitating for a few seconds, Xu Nian raised his paw and continued to walk towards Kai's nest.

He took the opportunity to see how badly Kai'e was beaten. The blow that Los gave it two days ago made Xu Nian feel a phantom pain.

Kai'e's nest is located halfway up the mountain. It can also withstand wind and snow, and it is a good place. Xu has been here several times over the years and is familiar with the place. Sure enough, he found the body of a blue sheep outside Kai'e's cave. He even saw the back of Los leaving. He didn't know what Los was going to do, and he looked a little anxious.

Xu Nian looked down at the ibex, then at Kaie's cave, and finally his gaze fell on the direction where Los left. He picked up the heavy ibex and tried to drag it back. He seemed to have thought of something and left his paw prints at the ibex's location. When Los came back and saw the paw prints, he would know who dragged the ibex away.

This has been done many times before, and this time is no exception.

This ibex was very heavy, enough for him and Los to eat for a while, but it was not easy to drag it up from here. Xu Nian almost walked and stopped. There were also vultures staring at him halfway up the mountain. Obviously, their target was not him, but the ibex in his mouth. Xu Nian imitated Los and made a few warning growls in his throat. The group of vultures looked at each other, and in the end no one dared to really go forward and snatch the ibex from the snow leopard's mouth.

"It is true that kind-hearted people are often bullied, and kind-hearted leopards are often ridden by birds." Xu Nian bit the ibex hard, walked and stopped, and occasionally rested on the cliff. Although his speed was relatively slow, his steps were very steady. He was afraid of losing Los, the ibex that was hard to hunt. After finally dragging it to their nest, he looked back and saw that Los had not come back yet.

He immediately and diligently arranged the ibex neatly, then half-lay down next to it, waiting for Los to come back.

In the past, when he went out with Los, he would occasionally bring back the prey first, and then Los would continue hunting. However, after his head injury, Los never let him carry any heavy objects up the mountain.

He licked his paws and thought carefully that Los was really nice to him.

A few snowflakes fell on Xu Nian's nose, which was a little cold. The nose itself is a relatively sensitive area, so with some warm feeling, the snowflakes melted quickly. Xu Nian shrugged slightly and sneezed subconsciously.

Just when he was wondering why Los hadn't come back yet, he heard a sound. He immediately half squatted up and saw Los climbing up. But Los looked a little anxious. The moment he saw Xu Nian, his anxiety turned into unspeakable anger. He walked straight over and bit Xu Nian by the back of the neck the second before Xu Nian rubbed against his arms, refusing Xu Nian's approach.

Xu Nian tilted his head slightly in confusion, and looked at Los with some puzzlement.

"Where have you been?!" Los said angrily, "How come you ran away in the blink of an eye?!"

"I was following you." Xu Nian raised his paw and gently pawed at Los, trying to calm him down. He shook his ears and whispered, "I was following you the whole time, but you ran too fast, so I didn't catch up. But I brought the prey back."

"You...wait a minute." Los was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously noticed something was wrong and looked at the prey Xu Nian placed next to him. It was indeed a blue sheep, but...

Los immediately twitched his nose, leaned over to sniff the mountain goat, and his face instantly turned ugly.

"What's wrong?" Xu Nian was about to come over when he was dragged aside by Los. When he was about to ask, he saw Los looking at him deeply. Xu Nian felt something was wrong and asked tentatively, "Is there something wrong with this sheep?"

Other than that, he couldn't think of anything else that could go wrong.

"Lie down here and don't move. I'll be back soon." After saying this, Los immediately turned around and was about to go down the mountain. He suddenly turned back to look at Xu Nian who was about to get up and warned: "Lie down and don't move. Wait for me to come back."

Xu Nian had no choice but to lie there, his tail wagging slightly in boredom, his eyes fell on the mountain goat. He lowered his head and licked his paws, not noticing what was wrong at all.

After a while, Los came back with a blue sheep in his mouth. Xu Nian immediately got up and walked over to him, praising him, "Two blue sheep! That's amazing! It's enough for us to eat for several days!"

Los put down the blue sheep in his mouth and said calmly, "You eat this one, and I'll eat that one."

"Okay." Xu Nian nodded without thinking too much.

Los raised his paw and walked to the mountain goat that Xu Nian brought back. He raised his paw and scratched it casually twice. A hint of sneer flashed in his eyes. It was just a small mountain goat, far smaller than the one he hunted!

At this moment, when Luo Yin came back, he looked at the empty nest in a daze. He subconsciously took a few steps back and looked at the cave. Yes, this was its nest... But where were its sheep?

Luo Yin went out to clean the blood stains on his fur, and when he came back, he found that the sky had fallen and his prey was gone!

It was so angry that its fur exploded instantly, and it glared at the vulture next to it. The vulture felt very wronged.

One by one, whenever the prey is lost, the first suspects are always the vultures. Are the vultures so untrustworthy?

But soon, Luo Yin found something wrong. There was a furry snow leopard paw print on the ground. Los stared at the paw print and compared it with his own paw. It was a circle smaller than his own.

It lowered its head, sniffed the remaining scent on the claw mark, and couldn't help but bare its fangs and let out an angry growl -

Damn snow leopard! It remembers this smell!
