Chapter 9 Let's start with the tail. Los: Whatever I say, you...

Los said that he wanted Xu Nian to take care of its tail, but in reality...

It looked at Xu Nian hunting with some depression, yawned out of boredom, and its slightly half-closed leopard eyes showed that it was really sleepy.

The wolves howled until midnight last night and started howling again early in the morning.

It squatted on the snow, licked its paws boredly, and looked at Xu Nian who was hunting a rabbit in front of it. The other party was lying on the snow with his body lowered, but because of the wrong posture, his tail was raised.

The big furry tail swayed gently behind him, attracting not only the attention of the prey, but also the attention of Los.

It didn't want to pay attention to its tail, but the tip of Xu Nian's tail was a little puffy, probably because of nervousness, making it look even more fluffy.

Los tried to look away several times, but unfortunately the tail was always shaking gently. It was the nature of cats to be easily attracted by shaking things.

It opened its mouth and wanted to say that Xu Nian had been waiting here for the rabbit all morning. If it were it, it would have caught the rabbit long ago.

But Xu Nian looked very serious, and the tip of his tail was exerting force.

"Forget it." Ross said to himself, "I'm not the one who's tired anyway."

However, at this moment, Xu Nian suddenly moved. He exerted force with his hind claws and the whole leopard rushed forward a few steps. The rabbit was not far away from him. This was already his best ambush. After all, he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Los.

However, the novice snow leopard had limited skills, and the cunning rabbit immediately gave up the grass in its mouth and turned around to run. When Xu Nian pounced on him, the jumping rabbit immediately stopped, watched Xu Nian fly over its head, and then turned around and ran in another direction.

After being fooled by the rabbit, Xu Nian suddenly felt murderous. He immediately turned around and continued to chase the rabbit, but the rabbit was too difficult to catch. Although it could not knock him away like the argali, nor run on the rock wall like the blue sheep every day, the rabbit always dodged Xu Nian's every attack very flexibly.

Even with all his claws and fangs, it was still difficult to catch the rabbit. Xu Nian thought, he couldn't try to catch a rabbit dozens of times in front of Los, right?

But what you fear most often comes true.

After chasing the rabbit around for a long circle for the third time, Xu Nian felt that he really owed some fat for a rabbit.

Los also had the same idea. He calmly watched Xu Nian chasing the rabbit around, with his beautiful, furry tail, so long, swaying past his eyes.

It felt that if it really relied on Xu Nian's care, the two snow leopards would starve to death in this mountain sooner or later.

So when the rabbit ran towards Xu Nian again, Los grabbed it with one claw and flipped it over, throwing it towards Xu Nian. Xu Nian quickly opened his mouth and bit the rabbit.

This time the bite was very heavy. He was afraid that the rabbit in his mouth would run away, so his fangs pierced through the rabbit's body directly. He could almost feel the rabbit struggling. At first, it kicked its legs very hard, but later the strength became weaker and weaker, and slower and slower, until finally it suddenly kicked its hind legs hard, and the whole rabbit stopped moving.

The rabbit's blood flowed down Xu Nian's fangs, dripping into the snow and gathering into a pool, but it would soon be covered by heavy snow.

Xu Nian walked up to Los with a fresh rabbit in his mouth. In the other's confused gaze, he placed the rabbit in front of Los, stretched out his paw to fiddle with it twice, and said, "You eat first, I'll catch more."

Los didn't expect that this hard-earned rabbit would be given to him.

"Can you still catch it?" Los was really skeptical.

"Yes." Xu Nian knew he had already embarrassed himself in front of Los. Based on the wild snow leopard's hunting experience, the other party must know how poor his hunting skills were. So he stopped trying to hide it and simply said, "The worst that can happen is that I can just run a few more steps and try a few more times. I'll eventually catch it."

"..." Los looked at the positive and optimistic snow leopard in front of him, and finally sighed deeply, saying: "You said you knew my eldest brother, and this is your hunting skill?"

"Yes, your eldest brother said he would teach me how to hunt, but unfortunately..." Xu Nian looked very regretful. He looked at his paws and said sadly, "We got separated."

As he said this, he glanced at Los secretly, then immediately changed the subject, saying, "He once said that his brother Los is the master hunter, the most powerful snow leopard. If one day, Los could teach me how to hunt, it would be the greatest fortune in my life."

He spoke very fluently, leaving Los stunned.

"You mean..." Los raised his paw and casually scratched the rabbit in front of him. He raised his eyelids and looked at Xu Nian who was serious. A trace of hesitation flashed across the snow leopard's eyes. It whispered, "My eldest brother praised me?"

Xu Nian felt that the tone seemed a little off. His mind raced, and he immediately said ambiguously, "Of course, your eldest brother is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Even though he doesn't say it, he actually approves of you."

Upon hearing this, Los tilted his head slightly, and his eyes were a little different from before, but Xu Nian couldn't tell what was wrong.

He suddenly felt uneasy, and went over his words from beginning to end in his mind. He swallowed his saliva, and the hair on his tail became slightly puffed up due to nervousness, becoming more fluffy. His long tail swayed gently in the direction of Los as if to please him.

"It probably hit its head." Los looked away and said calmly, "I'm talking about my eldest brother."

After thinking for a while, Xu Nian nodded hesitantly.

Los stood up and held the rabbit in his mouth. This was just enough to fill the gaps between his teeth, but considering that the damn snow leopard had fallen several times in trying to catch the rabbit, Los decided to accept it.

"Your hunting skills are too poor." Los licked his paws. He was lying on his side on the edge of the cliff. This was a place that he would never dare to go to even if he died. It was too unfriendly for snow leopards who were afraid of heights.

Xu Nian was looking down at his injured paw. After hearing this, he subconsciously pricked up his ears and looked at Los.

The sunlight fell from the side, falling on Xu Nian's slightly disheveled body. His face was still a little dirty, but his eyes were so beautiful that Leopard was amazed. In those eyes, it seemed that there was only Los.

He was looking at Los intently, waiting for Los's next words.

"Let's start with how to use your tail." Los raised his paw and scratched his face. Then, in a calm tone, just like usual, he said, "If you can't even control your tail, you'll fall off the rock wall sooner or later."

"I've fallen before." When Xu Nian felt wronged, his furry ears would subconsciously droop slightly, a fact he couldn't control. The tip of his tail swept left and right. As he squatted on the ground, his two furry front paws were placed neatly together. He looked at Los, stated the facts, and said, "I've fallen many times."

Ross glanced at the other man's large, furry paws, raised his chin slightly, and said, "You must control your claws and tail. No matter what happens, your claws must grip the cliff. The fact that you're still standing here proves that you were lucky, or that the fall wasn't severe enough. But you can't assume you'll be so lucky every time."

During the year that Los left his mother and lived alone, he fell badly. When he fell from the cliff with his prey in his mouth, even if he tried his best to make the prey touch the ground, it still inevitably fell to the ground, and occasionally bled.

It could almost guess that even though it had such good control over its body, it could still fall like this. If it were a snow leopard like Xu Nian who could slip even when chasing a rabbit, he would fall miserably.

"Yes!" Xu Nian has always been very receptive to advice. He immediately straightened his sitting posture. He was already sitting in the most standard snow leopard posture, and now he looked even more obedient. Because his position was slightly lower than Los, he looked up at Los, and the words "thirsty for knowledge" were almost written on his face.

"What's right?" Los said depressedly, "Your strength is too... a little bit poor. I don't know how you grew up like this."

"By picking up food." Xu Nian replied half-truthfully.

When he heard the word "picking up food", Los thought of the half-skinned mountain goat.

"I knew meeting you was my most fortunate event." Xu Nian knew what Los was thinking as soon as he saw his expression. He secretly felt lucky that snow leopards weren't very thoughtful. He puffed out his chest and said seriously, "The first time I met you, you saved me from starving to death and I picked up half of your blue sheep. The second time I met you, you saved me from a brown bear. Meeting you is the most fortunate thing that has ever happened to me."

A series of combo attacks, although the claw skills are not good, the mouth skills are still good. Xu Nian secretly glanced at Los's expression and could notice that the snow leopard's chin was slightly raised, obviously very proud.

Xu Nian felt relieved.

"Wait for me here." Los suddenly stood up and walked down the mountain. Xu Nian was about to follow him when he heard Los turn around and say, "Don't move."

Xu Nian nodded blankly, not knowing what Los was going to do, but he was very obedient.

After a while, Los came back, this time with prey in his mouth, but it was not a sheep, but a rabbit, and it was a lively rabbit. It can be seen that hunting a rabbit is very simple, but catching a rabbit alive is still a bit troublesome. After all, it is easier to lose control of the strength if you are not careful.

Los threw the rabbit to the ground, pressed it down with his paw, and then looked at Xu Nian and said, "Start with this. You do what I do."

Xu Nian's eyes lit up. It was clear that Los was going to teach him how to hunt.

He nodded hurriedly. He only became a snow leopard halfway through his career. No one taught him how to hunt or how to survive. Now it was a powerful snow leopard like Los who taught him. He felt that Los was indeed his lucky leopard.

Once he learns to hunt, he won't bother Los anymore.

He knew that this was Los's territory. Los had said that no male snow leopard would be willing to share territory with other male snow leopards.
