Chapter 148 Snow Leopard (VI)
It is an impossible task for Yu Yiyun, a cat alone, to break through the encirclement of seven dogs.
Not to mention a one-year-old leopard cub, even a leopard in its prime would find it difficult to deal with seven large dogs at the same time.
If the pig wants to break through the siege and get close to the cows and sheep in the city, he must first break down the enemy beasts' iron wall.
Before executing the plan, Yu Yiyun first rolled several times in the surrounding grass slopes to let her fluffy fur smell like cows and sheep, thereby paralyzing the sheepdog's sensitive sense of smell.
The pigs are young and have a light body odor, so they are completely covered by the cows and sheep in no time.
In addition, his wide and thick pads make no sound when he lands.
Taking advantage of the sheepdogs' off-guard behavior, Yu Yiyun sneaked towards the grazing area.
Trying to take the prey away quietly without alerting the dogs.
"Woof!"
“Woof woof!”
The sound of a fierce dog barking rang in my ears.
Obviously, the pigs failed.
Because there are too many enemy animals, and free-range cattle and sheep are more alert than captive animals, they will moo and bleat to alert the sheepdogs when they spot a snow leopard.
The German Shepherd on sentry duty first noticed the little snow leopard and shouted "Woof woof woof" loudly, warning him to get away quickly.
"Meow..." Just go away, why are you yelling so loudly!
The leopard, who was caught by the loyal dog, was so angry that he wagged his tail and ran away with a strong sense of stealth.
After two attempts, Yu Yiyun realized that a sneak attack was too difficult.
If you are discovered by a dog, it is still easy to escape if you don't have claws.
If you hold cows and sheep in your mouth, breaking through the encirclement of the dog group is as difficult as assassinating the president in public and escaping unscathed.
If he wanted to leave safely with his prey, he had to deal with those dogs first.
The clever Leopard thought about it and decided to give in to their will and defeat them one by one.
In the previous attempts, every time he startled the dogs, the first to rush up were always the two Tibetan mastiffs, which were very aggressive and ferocious.
The German Shepherd always stays by the side of the cattle and sheep, acting as a loyal sentry to prevent the snow leopard from approaching the livestock.
When the Border Collies spotted the little snow leopard, they were neither in a hurry to bark nor to attack, as if they were trying to determine whether the snow leopard was a friend or an enemy.
The degree to which the three dogs reacted perfectly matches their IQ ranking: Border Collie > German Shepherd > Tibetan Mastiff.
Tibetan Mastiff: Woof woof woof!
After several experiments, Pig finally came up with a plan.
During another raid, he caught a lively plateau rabbit, soaked it with the scent of its father, and released it into the grass only about 50 meters away from the Tibetan Mastiff.
When the Tibetan Mastiff heard the noise and smelled the scent, it immediately rushed out like a wild horse, chasing the plateau rabbit with all its might.
After leading the Tibetan mastiff away, Yu Yiyun quietly approached the flock of sheep.
When the German Shepherd on guard spotted an enemy animal, he immediately rushed out and barked loudly to warn people.
As soon as they pounced on him, Yu Yiyun ran away quickly.
When the dog returned to his post, the pig appeared again, squatting there obediently and washing his face with his paws, looking cute and harmless.
The German Shepherd tried to sneak back and forth more than ten times, but each time it came up empty-handed and looked visibly exhausted.
Seeing that the snow leopard had no intention of harming the cattle and sheep, the German Shepherd, who was lulled into submission, relaxed his vigilance and gradually lowered his guard against the snow leopard.
When the time was right, Yu Yiyun tried to get closer to the prey again.
The three Border Collies saw the little snow leopard approaching the livestock in a swaggering manner. They felt it was quite strange and began to think about whether they should attack the enemy animal.
Before they could reach a consensus, the little snow leopard actually came over and started calling out and gesticulating, trying to conduct cross-species communication.
"Meow." Good dog.
"Meow meow meow!" I caught the sheep and gave you the bones to chew on.
"Woof!" We are not dogs!
“Woof woof!” We are Border Collies!
"Meow." Okay, good dog.
"Meow?" Do you want to eat bones?
"Woof!" Eat!
Cats and dogs live in harmony and reach a consensus happily.
The three Border Collies that successfully rebelled did not stop the snow leopard from approaching the livestock. Instead, they deliberately ran towards the German Shepherds and pretended to play with the guard dogs to distract them.
Yu Yiyun successfully broke through the dog's defense line and sneaked into the grazing area full of prey.
ah!
Heaven!
The Tibet Autonomous Region has a total area of approximately 1.2 million square kilometers, making it the second largest province in my country and more than enough compared with many countries.
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is vast and sparsely populated, with large tracts of grazing areas where herds of cattle and sheep graze.
Although cattle and sheep raised by humans are easier to capture than cattle and sheep in the mountains.
The little snow leopard's claws and fangs are not sharp enough, and it is temporarily unable to deal with the sturdy yaks that weigh hundreds of pounds and have thick fur.
They can only settle for the second best and turn their attention to smaller sheep.
There are many kinds of sheep raised in Tibet, among which Tibetan sheep, white cashmere goats, and Gamba sheep are the most common.
The sheep in this grazing area have white and fine hair, they should be the local unique breed - white-wool goats.
Compared with other breeds of sheep, white cashmere goats not only have delicious meat, but also have extremely precious fur, which can be processed into various cashmere products.
70% of the world's cashmere production comes from China, and the cashmere produced in Tibet is even more famous.
For local herders, the fur of white-wool goats is more valuable than their meat.
In the past few months, Yu Yiyun has witnessed mountain goats that can leap over cliffs and walk briskly on 90-degree vertical cliffs, and has suffered a lot at the hands of their hooves.
When Piglet suddenly encountered a docile goat that could only bleat and hide in the flock, he even suspected that he had come to another time and space.
He chose the strongest ram in the flock, leaped over, and accurately bit the ram's throat.
The ram struggled and fell down, flapping its four legs wildly.
The sheep around had never seen such a scene before, so they fled in all directions in fear.
The pig felt no resistance and easily pierced the ram's throat with its 4-cm-long canine teeth. It then used its body weight to apply pressure, causing it to suffocate quickly.
The fat ram kicked its legs twice finally and completely lost its breath.
The entire hunting process, from chasing to killing, lasted less than five minutes.
The little snow leopard licked the sheep beside his mouth, feeling incredibly happy.
Hunting, is it such a simple thing?
[The cat is crying.jpg]
The cattle and sheep on all sides were in chaos, running around in fear, afraid that they would be bitten to death by the ferocious enemy beasts.
Yu Yiyun was afraid that they would continue to be restless and alarm the herdsmen, so she hurriedly dragged the prey away.
When the Border Collie saw that the little snow leopard was struggling, he took the initiative to run over to help and cleverly provided cover for it.
As they moved away from the pastoral area, Yu Yiyun followed the agreement, tore open the sheepskin and bit off large chunks of mutton, leaving the bones for the dog, and hung the intact skin on a large rock high up, waiting for the herdsmen to pick it up during their inspection one day.
After finishing all this, the piglet filled its stomach with a growl, and happily returned to the mountain with the remaining meat in its mouth.
In order to catch the city sheep, Yu Yiyun has been staying near the pastoral area for the past three days.
According to experience, a five-month-old leopard cub is very strong and nothing will happen if it goes hungry for three days.
After working hard to get the prey, Yu Yiyun returned to the mountain with the mutton in his mouth and ran to feed the two leopard cubs the first thing he did.
As a result, he went into the cave, but it was empty without any trace of the leopard, and even the corner where Yuanyuan often slept was icy.
"Meow?" Where's my cub?
"Meow meow!" My baby is lost again!
The piglet was so nervous that he put down his meat and sniffed carefully the stone walls and snow slopes near the nest to see if any enemy animals had come.
As I kept smelling, I actually detected the scent of bird; a golden eagle had been visiting.
The golden eagle is a large bird of prey of the Accipitridae family, with a wingspan of over 2 meters.
It has a wide diet, including mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians, and even eats insects and carrion.
The golden eagle lives in the Himalayas and its main prey is blue sheep and snow leopard cubs.
As large birds of the genus eagle, they are different from the bald eagles that like to pick up bargains. They are true sky falcons.
The hunting method of golden eagles is extremely cruel. They will catch blue sheep or snow leopard cubs, fly them to high altitudes, and then cruelly drop them, and then swoop down to pick up the dead prey.
Faced with such a ferocious predator, the snow leopard cubs were completely unable to fight back.
In order to avoid golden eagles, mother snow leopards will choose to build their nests as high as possible, far away from areas where golden eagles often move around.
Even so, there is no way to prevent some golden eagles from becoming desperate and flying to mountainous areas to prey on snow leopard cubs.
Yu Yiyun, who had raised her cub to over five months old by stealing and eating from everywhere, suddenly lost her guard!
"Meow!" Bad bird!
"Meow meow!" I'm going to fight you!!!
Normally, even strong adult snow leopards will not take the initiative to provoke golden eagles.
The golden eagle has wings and talons. As long as it spreads its wings, the snow leopard will have no way to deal with it.
On the contrary, the snow leopard itself will be injured if it slips even a little while hunting the golden eagle.
It was obvious that Yu Yiyun was blinded by anger and ran and jumped towards the golden eagle's nest located in the concave wall of the cliff.
"Meow!" Bad bird, get out here!
Yu Yiyun dug his claws into the rock wall, poked his head out, and called out to the dozing golden eagle.
"Huh?" What?
The sweet dream was disturbed, and the golden eagle peeped out its head in a daze, with confusion written all over its small eyes.
Where did the little leopard come from?
Come to someone else's house without even saying hello.
"Meow!" Give my baby back to me!
"Ga ga?" What the hell?
The golden eagle was confused when he saw the little snow leopard breathing on him.
It briefly reviewed its life and made sure it had never provoked the snow leopard.
"Meow!" Give the cub back to me, or I will bite you every time I see you!
Yu Yiyun was furious and uttered the cruelest words in his life.
"Meow meow!" I'll take out all your bird eggs!
"Ha ha?" What are you angry about?
The golden eagle was frightened by the leopard's momentum and folded its wings in fear. The more it thought about it, the more aggrieved it felt.
"Gah!" Leopard, did I provoke you? !
"Meow, meow, meow, meow!" Even if you didn't provoke it, your kind did!
"Meow!" I'm super angry now, hurry up...
“Chirp~”
Before Yu Yijun finished meowing, a familiar sound of a clapper was heard in the distance.
"……Meow?"
Piglet slowly turned his head and saw Feifei running towards him happily like a rabbit.
The cliffs where the golden eagles build their nests have almost no place to place their claws.
Feifei was temporarily unable to control the terrain and was spinning in circles on it anxiously.
The piglet felt a little embarrassed when he saw the big boy jumping around. He licked the cat's mouth and continued to call out.
"Meow." And there's my Yuanyuan.
"Meow~"
Yuanyuan then ran over and started spinning in circles with Feifei, calling out "Mommy, dear."
“Gah.”
The golden eagle's voice was hoarse, and it locked onto Zhu Mi with its eagle eyes.
[You can’t hide the look in your eyes when you want to shark a cat.jpg]
It used its small brain to recall carefully, and finally remembered that the only interaction between it and the snow leopard in recent times was that it landed its foot beside the entrance of the snow leopard's cave when it was tired of flying.
"Quack." Is it illegal to let a bird stop at the entrance of your cave?
"Ga ga!" Bad cat, disturbing my sleep!
The golden eagle was so angry that it flapped its wings and slapped him twice, then went into the cave and continued to take a nap.
Piglet said good night to Eagle in a hoarse voice and crawled back to reunite with his two cubs.
"Meow meow?" Where did you two go? I almost thought you turned into snacks!
“Chirp!”
Feifei came over and rubbed against mommy in a sticky way.
Yuanyuan was not to be outdone, so she also rushed over to cuddle with her mommy, whispering to him, "I've been at grandpa's house these two days."
Yu Yijun raised his head and saw a male leopard standing not far away, holding a marmot in its mouth.
In the dead of winter, prey is so hard to find that even dad has to rely on small animals to fill his stomach.
Piglet had no idea who had caused his daddy to not have enough mountain goats to eat.
Male leopard: You are so filial.
Yesterday, the two leopard cubs who stayed in the den had not waited for their mother for 72 hours.
The last time this happened, their biological mother never came back, leaving a deep trauma in the cubs' lives.
Feifei and Yuanyuan were worried that something might happen to their new mother, so they mustered up the courage to leave the nest, push aside the snow that was thicker than themselves, and look for their mother.
Fortunately, Yu Yiyun raised the leopard cubs well, otherwise the two little leopards would have frozen to death on the road.
They panted over the hill and found that the scent left by their mother was going to the left and the right respectively.
Feifei and Yuanyuan turned around twice and quickly reached a consensus and decided to look for Mommy separately.
Yuanyuan climbed to the ridge with great effort, and walked around in circles, not knowing how to get down.
Feifei slid down the snow slope, preparing to jump to the next mountain.
The two little Nobi Ga ignored the fact that the road Yu Yiyun had taken them on before was the flattest road nearby.
With their current physique and strength, it is impossible for them to follow their mother's footsteps and successfully climb over the mountain.
Poor Feifei and Yuanyuan, they were stuck there, unable to move up or down.
The snow on the top of the mountain collapsed and could bury them at any time.
At this moment, the male leopard, who had just caught a lamb but didn't wait for his son to come over for a meal, left his territory to look for his son and heard Little Nobi's cry for help.
Big cats have average brain capacity, but good memory.
The male leopard recognized this person as his grandson based on his voice? Or his grandson?
Never mind, it’s just his own baby.
The male leopard pounced over and took the two little lambs back to his territory, so that they could enjoy the delicious lambs together.
The young blue sheep caught today are not yet adults and have relatively little meat. After removing the fur and bones, there are about 20 to 30 kilograms, which is enough for the male leopard to eat for two days.
The male leopard looked at Feifei, then at Yuanyuan, and wondered how much these two little guys could eat.
Soon, the male leopard faced the clean skeleton of the ibex and finally understood what it meant to "the little brat eats the father out of money".
They are worthy of being piglets, they eat better than pigs.
Not only can he eat, but he also gets hungry very quickly.
The next day, the male leopard planned to have a good rest and go hunting again in two days.
Feifei, who was in the growth and development stage, nestled into his arms and sobbed, crying, "I'll starve if I don't have food to eat."
Yuanyuan said nothing, but stared at the male leopard quietly with her big watery eyes.
“Ouch!”
The male leopard was forced to stand up and shouted in despair, "After this meal, you two go back!"
He swore that he would never help the piglets take care of them again in his life!
So the male leopard searched for prey while escorting the two cubs back to the den.
When they came near the nest, they found the meat hidden by the pig and a lot of smell.
The two leopard cubs who were howling "Hungry, hungry, food" just now didn't even look at the piece of meat. They followed the scent left by their mother and rushed away quickly.
The male leopard was holding the marmot in its mouth. Seeing the three little leopards rubbing against each other, he vaguely felt that he was just an unlucky person who provided food.
"Meow~"
Yu Yiyun rubbed against Feifei, then rubbed against Yuanyuan, and then spread her paws and ran towards the male leopard.
The male leopard's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, 'As expected, my own son treats me best.'
The next second, the piglet took the marmot away without any hesitation, bit off some meat and shared it with the two cubs without even looking at its unlucky father.
Biological father:……?
Sever the father-son relationship, now!
After feeding the cubs, Yu Yiyun coaxed the male leopard perfunctorily to comfort his wounded little heart.
The piglet has not yet completed her mission of sending the leopard cubs back to their den to sleep and then urging the male leopard to return to his own territory.
There is still a mouth to feed at home, waiting for meat.
Yu Yiyun took out the mutton she had brought back, thinking that her mother must be unable to wait any longer since she had been hungry for so long.
"Meow!" Mommy!
When Piglet came home, Ram greeted him as usual and licked the child's fur affectionately.
Thanks to his son's careful feeding, Ram not only recovered from his injuries, but also became much rounder and looked more energetic.
In recent days, she has been working hard to train her hunting skills, just waiting to encounter a mountain goat and show off her skills.
"Meow~" I'll give you some lamb.
Zhu Mi put a large piece of mutton in front of his mother, urging her to eat it up quickly and take good care of her body.
"meow~" Ram leaned against his son lovingly, then lowered his head and opened his mouth.
Ram was stunned when he smelled the mutton.
The mutton tastes very delicious, and it doesn’t taste like the mountain goat.
Ram had eaten this kind of sheep before and knew where to catch it.
She still remembered the consequences of catching such sheep.
Even though the smell was very faint, Ram could still identify the scent of the fierce dog that had killed his second son from the mutton he brought back.
"Meow?" Mommy, don't you want to eat?
Yu Yiyun lowered her head and found that Ram's reaction was a little strange, as if she would break at any time.
"Meow." Ram called his baby anxiously, asking him to stay with him and not go hunting anymore.
Hunting is too dangerous.
Rather than letting his only cub be killed by a fierce dog, Ram decided to take the risk himself.
Piglet didn't understand Ram's cry and thought that Mommy couldn't eat this kind of sheep. She held the meat to her mouth and coaxed her in a gentle voice, "You don't like eating sheep, I'll get you some cows."
The pig tilted his head, imagined the tall and strong yak, and then looked at his own little paws.
Um.
Next time for sure!
Ram refused to eat and wanted to keep the cub with her.
However, she couldn't resist Erza's constant nagging and finally ate the piece of meat.
However, when Yu Yiyun set out again, Ram, who had just recovered from a serious injury, insisted on following her.
She knew how scary those dogs were, so she had to stay with Erza so that she could protect the cub in time in times of crisis.
"Meow."
Yu Yiyun thought about it seriously.
Ram had just recovered and had some difficulty dealing with the mountain goats.
But with her strength, without the burden of a cub, she is more than capable of handling a dog or a goat.
After the last lesson, the Tibetan Mastiff will not be fooled by the plateau rabbit. Even if it continues to chase the plateau rabbit, the two German Shepherds will definitely be more vigilant.
With an extra helping claw by your side, your hunting success rate will be higher.
If you are lucky, you may be able to catch a yak in the pasture.
"Meow~" Mommy, you have to follow me closely~
Yu Yiyun gave some instructions and rushed to the grazing area with Ram.
Seeing the dogs guarding the ranch from afar, Ram instantly became alert and planned to rush over to confront them head-on.
“Meow.”
Yu Yiyun stopped Ram and dug out a rat and rabbit nest with his claws.
The pika is much smaller than the plateau rabbit, weighing about 200 grams. It is not much bigger than a dog's paw and can squeeze into any cracks.
Zhu Mi let the pikas smell like Ram and threw them near the Tibetan Mastiff.
Just as he expected, the Tibetan Mastiff smelled the scent of the snow leopard and began to search for the enemy in the air again.
This time the enemy beasts were even more ethereal than last time. They were invisible and intangible, which made them jump up and down and run around.
After luring away the most ferocious Tibetan Mastiff, Yu Yiyun took Ram and approached the pastoral area.
Yu Yijun caught a glimpse of the German Shepherd approaching, and whistled to his dog brothers. The three Border Collies immediately surrounded the German Shepherd and rolled into a ball.
Ram watched his son rush into the grazing area without any worries and bite a white-wool goat to death in a few bites.
The clever pig got the prey, and relying on the large numbers of animals on its side, it began to "teach" the people's shepherd dog a lesson.
He tore off a large piece of mutton and dangled it next to the German Shepherd's muzzle, meowing to seduce it.
"Meow." Dog, as long as you turn a blind eye to me, I will share the sheep with you when I catch them in the future.
"Woof!" The German Shepherd was strong and had a serious expression on his face, as if to say, 'Don't use this to test the people's shepherd dog.'
"Meow?" You really don't want to eat?
"Woof...Woof woof!" The German Shepherd was about to refuse, but Yu Yijun seized the opportunity and threw the mutton into its mouth.
The German Shepherd's eyes widened in shock, obviously never encountered such a despicable trick.
The evil pig raised the corners of his lips, trying to show a wicked smile, and put his paws on the German Shepherd's back.
"Meow!" If you eat my meat, we will be close friends from now on.
"Meow meow meow~" If you follow me, if I take a bite of meat, you will have a bite of meat too.
"Woof woof woof!" The Border Collie whistled happily, trying to persuade the German Shepherd to give up resistance and join their evil forces.
The People's Shepherd Dog ate the unclean meat, then looked at the meat that the pig kept putting in front of its mouth, and took a big bite.
So delicious!
Yu Yiyun successfully completed the rebellion plan, and went home with her mother, carrying the sheep in her mouth and wagging her tail.
As for the Tibetan Mastiff that is still catching pikas everywhere?
How stupid! Yu Yiyun didn't even include it in his plan.
If the Tibetan Mastiff finds that mutton is so delicious, it might skip the cooperation process and catch the sheep to eat on its own.
In that case, the herders would soon discover that the sheep in this grazing area were frequently stolen.
As the New Year approaches, the demand for beef and mutton in various provinces has surged.
There are tens of thousands of cattle and sheep in the grazing area, and it is difficult for the herders to notice if two or three are missing.
unless--
"1, 2, 3, 4... 11. My goodness, eleven sheepskins in total, just to plunder my pastureland."
The shepherd picked up 11 sheepskins and shook them in front of the sheepdog.
"You guys who are watching over the sheep, can you give me an explanation?"
“...Woof.” The German Shepherd licked his lips and looked away guiltily.
The Border Collie pretended to appreciate the scenery with an expression that said, "I don't understand what you are saying."
Two Tibetan mastiffs rushed out, barking loudly in excitement.
Herdsman: "What? You ate the sheep?"
