Chapter 163: Sensitive Cats

Chu Qiao lowered his voice:

"Did you hear that?"

"Um, what animal?"

Chu Qiao shook his index finger left and right: "Many cats make this kind of sound, it's hard to judge."

Chu Qiao's slowly walking body suddenly stopped.

She looked down at her feet and saw a large yellow melon seed stuck in her throat. Chu Qiao was shocked.

Chu Qiao slowly lifted up the spiked grass.

A wild leopard with golden fur and black spots was lying in the grass. The sharp grass, which was as tall as a person, was pressed under it like a palm mattress.

Cats are extremely alert. The cat's tightly closed eyes suddenly narrowed and it flicked its tail.

Lu Zhanyi got nervous and stepped back, almost tripping. Master Chu held him back with his right palm.

He whispered, "Calm down, it just ate."

Chu Qiao looked at the bloodstained grass beside him, and Lu Zhan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Mosquitoes were buzzing around the cheetah, and the cheetah's tail was swinging from time to time to drive away the mosquitoes.

Suddenly, it opened its eyes abruptly and glanced in the direction of the two with murderous eyes. Chu Qiao pulled down Lu Zhan's hand that was pushing away the sharp-haired grass, and hid his body behind the sharp-haired grass, avoiding the cheetah's gaze.

The drone took off into the air and took a close-up shot of the cheetah. Netizens in the live broadcast room were attracted by the cheetah's graceful lines.

“This looks similar to a snow leopard.”

"Yeah, the fur is shorter than a snow leopard's?"

"It seems like the cheetah has a better figure."

Chu Qiao explained in a low voice, "Cheetahs have black spots all over their bodies. They are generally slender, with heads slightly smaller than snow leopards. They mainly live in grasslands in temperate and hot zones, and are carnivores."

"Its body is streamlined, and its spine is like a big spring. It can run very fast, but because it has no way to dissipate the heat generated by acceleration, its endurance is poor. It usually has to rest after running for a few minutes."

After Chu Qiao finished speaking, he and Lu Zhan slowly retreated. As Chu Qiao moved, the propeller of the hovering drone spun faster, and it flew towards Chu Qiao with a buzzing sound.

The sound caught the cheetah's attention, and it looked towards this side in the direction of the drone.

It was the first time for Lu Zhan to see a wild animal at such a close distance. After his fear subsided, the man's admiration and love for carnivorous animals made him walk very slowly.

Chu Qiao tugged at Lu Zhan's clothes: "Doctor Lu, if you want to be eaten by it, just watch."

Lu Zhan then withdrew his gaze, and the two of them quickly stood up and left the place of trouble.

Before they had gone five meters, the cheetah suddenly stood up and jumped, stretching its limbs and body, and flew over the tall spiky grass.

If the cheetah's target was not him, Chu Qiao would be the first to stop, applaud the cheetah's handsome demeanor, and praise it: It is worthy of being a walking bronze work, and it is not an exaggeration to display it as a work of art.

But this was obviously not the time to think about these things. Chu Qiao pushed Lu Zhan away, rolled backwards, and hid in the spiky grass.

Lu Zhan and Chu Qiao were less than a meter away from each other, and neither of them dared to move, as any movement would attract the cheetah's attention.

Fortunately, the cheetah had just eaten and was not interested in the two people. When it saw them disappear, it did not chase them, but slowly turned around and returned to its resting place.

Ten minutes later, seeing that the cheetah did not move, the two men bent down and slowly walked in the opposite direction.

Chu Qiao walked while muttering:

"Three hundred... four hundred..."

"What are you doing?"

Not only Lu Zhan was confused, netizens who couldn't see Chu Qiao's face and could only hear Chu Qiao's voice were also confused.

"Master Chu, you must have gone crazy on the grassland."

"No, Master Chu has survived even on the vast ocean."

"Didn't we have Baymax back then?"

"Do you treat Dr. Lu as a human being?"

"this……"

Chu Qiao took the opportunity to take a breath and explained, "I'm counting my steps to calculate the distance from the cheetah. As long as we can get 5 kilometers away from him, we'll be safe."

Netizens are puzzled:

"They run so fast, what's five kilometers?"

"Master Chu can also be silly and naive sometimes."

"Didn't Master Chu say that this guy was full?"

Chu Qiao shook his head: "He is full, but they exercise a lot, eat quickly, and get hungry quickly. If they don't catch their next meal successfully, they will remember us two living people."

"Fortunately, their daily range of activity does not exceed 5 kilometers. Although leopards can run fast, they have poor endurance and are not suitable for walking or running for long periods of time. It is life-threatening for them."

As they spoke, they both began to mutter and count.

fifty thousand,

Fifty thousand and one,

Fifty thousand and two,

…

Fifty-three thousand.

"That's enough, let's take a break."

The two of them slumped down in the grass, and Lu Zhan flattened the grass around them to make Chu Qiao more comfortable.

The drone slowly descended and took a picture of Chu Qiao's profile.

Mr. Chu closed his eyes and rested. Perhaps the smell of mosquito repellent on his body had evaporated over the past few days and became weaker and weaker. In less than 10 minutes, the mosquitoes around him slowly circled around Chu Qiao.

Chu Qiao felt an itch on his face, so he slapped his hand and touched a bug about four or five centimeters long. Chu Qiao opened his eyes lazily.

He pulled one of the insect's long, thin legs and held it in front of his eyes.

"It turns out to be a locust." Chu Qiao smiled as he watched the green locust flapping its wings and twisting its body, its two brown oval eyes flashing and its antennae constantly turning.

But within a few minutes, there were more and more locusts around Chu Qiao. Lu Zhan had a dark face and slapped the grass leaves around him to drive away the locusts.

Chu Qiao snatched the grass leaves away and said, "Doctor Lu, this is a waste of natural resources."

Then he threw the locust in his hand into his mouth and said: "It's not tasty, it's better to roast it."

Lu Zhan obviously didn't expect Chu Qiao to suddenly throw the locust into his mouth. He suddenly lost reaction and the light curtain in the air flashed.

"Master Chu, calm down. This thing is disgusting."

"Does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs know that she is like this?"

"Hurry up and ban this anchor."

Chicken Little: "Everyone upstairs is new, right? This is nothing, calm down."

Chu Qiao: "Brother Ji has mastered it. Fried grasshoppers are delicious. Usually, when you eat them at home, it's best to put the live grasshoppers in a basin and leave them for two days without feeding them. Let them excrete all the dirt, then fry them and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. In other words, they are crispy."

"But in the wild, there's no such conditions, so just roast it."

Lu Zhan shook his head violently: "Can I not eat it?"

Chu Qiao: "Sure, I'll eat this and you eat the meat."

As she spoke, she grabbed a grasshopper that was about to fly with one hand and strung it on a branch nearby.

Although Lu Zhan didn't want to eat them, he still helped to catch them. In less than ten minutes, the two of them caught all the grasshoppers around.

Chu Qiao mentioned the grasshopper skewers: "Move to another place, it's easy to catch fire here."

As they talked, the two of them walked forward for a while. Chu Qiao found a flat stone and picked up a handful of sharp grass leaves and lit them.
