Chapter 56 Avalanche Xu Nian: This heavy snow almost buried me!

The snow-capped mountains are covered with a thick layer of snow due to the continuous heavy snowfall. Occasionally, one or two pieces of snow will slide down the slope, but they are only small pieces.

Xu Nian lay in the cave. He lowered his head and licked his paws. Los didn't let him follow, so he was forced to enjoy the leisure time of the snow leopard.

There's always a snowy owl outside, tilting its head to look at him from time to time. This walking emoticon pack has no self-awareness at all and always likes to twist its head occasionally, making its originally good-looking head-to-body proportions look a little weird. Especially when it stretches its head to the side, there's an indescribable feeling.

Xu Nian was really bored, so he started observing how a bird walked.

"It would be nice if we could stay here forever." Xu Nian sighed. He didn't forget what Los said. If the snow continued to fall heavily, the prey here would continue to decrease and they would have to move. Although this place was very high and it was inconvenient to climb up and down, compared to moving and taking risks in an unknown place, Xu Nian would rather lie here every day.

However, he couldn't do whatever he wanted. The snow not only continued to fall, but it was also getting heavier. If he lay outside waiting for Los, he would be covered in snow in no time. Xu Nian stood up and walked out. The snowy owl immediately turned its head to look at him, but seeing Xu Nian getting closer, it spread its wings and flew away for safety's sake.

Xu Nian stood in the snow, he lowered his front half of the body and tried to lift up the tail of his hind body. His front paws supported the snow and stretched out as far as possible, with the paw pads stretched out, while his hind paws gripped the rocks tightly because they were so comfortable. The whole snow leopard felt stretched out. After stretching out its body, a gust of wind blew towards him, making Xu Nian's fur slightly messy.

He squinted his eyes to see which direction the wind was blowing from, then lay down directly, rubbed the fur on his back in the snow, hooked his furry front paws, and his big tail was raised high in excitement, straight up.

"Comfortable." Xu Nianwei sighed, and when his furry ears trembled slightly, he suddenly heard the sound of gravel rolling in the distance. His ears moved slightly, and he subconsciously looked towards the place where the sound came from. He saw a snow leopard coming out from the rock wall at some point, chasing a blue sheep. It was chasing it quickly on the towering cliffs. With its agile body and smooth movements, it soon bit the blue sheep.

But the ibex was not to be outdone. It kicked the snow leopard hard and tried to escape. The snow leopard suddenly threw the ibex out, and both the ibex and the ibex rolled down the cliff.

Xu Nian was so shocked that he stood up immediately. He took a few steps forward. The cliffs of the opposite mountain range were different from those on his side. The cliffs over there were almost vertical. Xu Nian saw Los biting the mountain goat, and then rolling down the mountain wall with the mountain goat.

During this period, Los tried several times to stop himself and the ibex from falling, but to no avail. His back hit the rock wall heavily, and then he continued to roll down. Los tried to use the ibex as a cushion for his feet, but he would have fallen down more or less.

Los no longer cared about the pain in his back. His fangs pierced the ibex's neck. He could feel the strength of the struggle in its mouth getting weaker and weaker. Rolling down a cliff is a common occurrence for snow leopards, let alone such a steep cliff.

It suddenly half-prostrated itself on the ground, hooking its sharp claws on the rocks, and finally stopped itself from sliding down. It turned its head and looked at the drop of more than ten meters. If it went a little lower, it would fall down with the mountain goat.

Snow leopard hunting is often accompanied by high risks. Many snow leopards fall to their death with their prey. Los climbed up with the prey in his mouth. In the past, he would not have such concerns. But now that he is many years old, he is no longer a solitary leopard, so he has to be more careful.

It is afraid of falling to death, but it is more afraid of becoming disabled.

The mountain goat in Los' mouth was very heavy, the result of Los's dangerous hunt. He climbed up the mountain wall with the mountain goat in his mouth. The mountain goat had no strength left, and blood was dripping all the way.

Perhaps noticing Xu Nian's gaze on the opposite cliff, Los stopped, turned his head to look at Xu Nian, and let out a soft roar from his throat. Xu Nian subconsciously tilted his furry head and responded.

Los suddenly understood why wolves always liked to howl and respond to each other. This feeling really made the leopard feel a sense of belonging.

Thinking of this, the tail behind Los was raised high. It was hard for Xu Nian to ignore the big furry tail. It also attracted the vultures hunting back and forth. They flew past and had to take a look at the eye-catching big tail.

Because the tail was raised too high, the tip of the tail was almost turned over, and it shook gently twice, making Los the snow leopard look very proud and majestic. It was holding its trophy in its mouth and was about to return to its den.

Xu Nian squatted there obediently. He looked at Los's big tail, then turned his head to look at his own big tail. He really felt that the snow leopard's big tail might not only serve to balance the body, but also occasionally serve as a large cat toy.

Xu Nian occasionally has to resist the urge to flap his tail. This is simply a habit engraved in the genes of cats.

Xu Nian, who had not eaten enough for two consecutive days, was about to welcome a very fat blue sheep. He lowered his head and licked his paws, and the tip of his tail trembled slightly with some excitement.

But soon, he heard a little sound of gravel rolling down. At first, Xu Nian thought that Los had returned, but he soon realized that something was wrong. Los had just been hunting on the opposite side, and it was impossible for him to come back in the blink of an eye.

Xu Nian suddenly became alert, stood up suddenly, and subconsciously looked behind him, but did not see any figure. When he sat back in his original position waiting for Los to come back, he felt something was wrong under his claws.

He glanced down, feeling a faint tremor, and then heard Los roaring across from him: "Xunian! Run!"

He subconsciously raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see that Los had already left behind the hard-earned mountain goat and was running towards them. Xu Nian stood up almost instantly, saw the snow falling in front of him, and turned around to escape, but it was too late.

Avalanche, this natural disaster brought by nature, no animal can resist it. After sensing the danger, countless animals immediately ran out and tried to find some safe place. Only Los not only did not escape, but also ran towards the place where the avalanche occurred regardless of everything.

Everything happened very suddenly and there was no way to prevent it. An avalanche even bigger than the last time came, burying the nests of countless animals almost instantly, and then burying them again.

This was not just an avalanche, but also an earthquake. The mountains shook, and even the vultures screamed and flapped their wings to fly away. Los had never run so fast before. He felt that he was almost flying, or all he could think about was why he couldn't fly!

Its speed was pulled to the maximum, and the muscle lines all over its body were extremely obvious. As soon as its front paws touched the ground, its hind paws would reach the ground immediately, and then it would continue to run forward.

But it was not running away, it was running towards Xu Nian.

The running animals were all trying to escape. It was running so fast that it collided with another brown bear that was running out. It was thrown out heavily, its claws grabbing the ground fiercely. It didn't even care about the brown bear's roar, and immediately turned around and continued running towards the mountain.

The brown bear only had time to take a look at Los's back. It didn't know why everyone was running for their lives, but this snow leopard was heading towards the most dangerous place.

But no matter how fast Los was, he could not match the speed of the avalanche. He watched helplessly as the ground shook and the rubble and snow covered everything, knocking him over head-on. He was unable to resist such an avalanche, and before he could stand up, thick snow pressed on his back.

It was also covered by snow.

At the moment when he was buried in the snow, Los only regretted one thing, why he didn't take Xu Nian hunting with him today, or why he didn't stay here with Xu Nian.

Why?

Why is this happening?

…

Xu Nian also tried to run, but the earthquake came too fast. As soon as his front paws landed on the rock wall, he was hit by the rocks behind him and rolled down with them.

The other animals looked at the snow leopard rolling down in shock. It could not roll as fast as it ran, but soon an avalanche occurred and the accumulated snow pressed down on Xu Nian. At that moment, he really thought he was going to die.

Snow covered the ground. After the natural disaster, thick snow and some buried animal carcasses remained on the ground. Some died of suffocation, some were trampled to death, and some were even killed by rocks.

When Luo Yin came back from hunting, he found that his nest was gone again. He had accepted all the bad luck calmly and looked around. But it was a good thing that he went out hunting, otherwise he would have been one of the buried animals.

Snow leopards are indeed top hunters in the food chain, but they are powerless in the face of natural disasters.

Luo Yin dragged his tail and looked around. He sniffed lightly, looked around, and finally said to himself: "Los is not dead, right?"

It frowned and looked carefully, but did not find any trace of its useless brother. Finally, it had to turn around and leave, ready to find a new nest. Two avalanches had occurred here in succession, and it was no longer suitable for living here. It needed to change places.

However, just as it was about to turn around and leave, a large furry paw suddenly stretched out in front of it. This iconic large paw was obviously a snow leopard's paw. Luo Yin subconsciously stopped and looked at the paw with some vigilance.

Then I saw its claws move, and after a few seconds, the other claw stretched out, trying to dig the snow pile, and finally crawled out of the snow panting. The snow leopard's fur was disheveled and it looked very embarrassed.

Seeing that it was the same species, Luo Yin immediately became alert and stared at the snow leopard in front of him with a bad look. Then he found that the other party seemed to be confused for a moment, and then surprise appeared in its eyes in an instant, and it actually crawled out and pounced directly on him.

Luo Yin thought the other party was going to attack, so he simply rushed forward. He thought that this snow leopard that dared to directly provoke him would have some ability, but it easily bit his neck and threw him out. He fell heavily to the ground and could not get up for a while.
