It's a snow leopard.
This predator, known as the "King of the Snow Mountains," is entirely gray-white with black spots on its fur. It is the absolute king of the snowfields, standing at the top of the food chain.
Snow leopards are nocturnal animals that are active at night and rest during the day. Xia Ning never leaves the cabin at night and only goes out to hunt during the day, so she did not find any trace of it for several days.
The above information was told to Xia Ning by her older sister, Ji Li.
Last night, when Ji Li's defensive shield was depleted, this large predator revealed its fangs in the darkness.
Xia Ning pondered that the footprints in front of her door were definitely not made by a snow leopard. It seemed that snow leopards were prey at night, rather than hunters in another form.
Xia Ning had a premonition that she was about to miss this last prey.
The event has entered its fifth day, and the snow leopard rarely comes out during the day, making it much more difficult to capture.
Relying on just a few hours is simply a pipe dream.
To be honest, Xia Ning was a little depressed when she realized that she probably couldn't achieve a perfect clear.
She has always been both unlucky and lucky, yet she always manages to exceed expectations in the challenges and timed missions of the survival game.
At this moment, it turned out to be a small Waterloo for her that she hadn't expected.
However, Xia Ning only thought about it for five minutes before making a decision: instead of spending time trying her luck to find the snow leopard, she should do something she was more confident about.
After discussing it with my sister, Xia Ning's nine animal-related questions should at least be at least at least at the B level, if not A.
She decided that if the quality couldn't be met, then quantity would make up for it.
Xia Ning took her younger sister out. She let her sister catch rabbits and pheasants, while she went to the frozen river to fish.
Of course, if her younger sister is so capable as to find the snow leopard's den, Xia Ning will definitely give her a bonus.
Three days have passed since the blizzard, and snowflakes are falling silently from the sky.
These translucent crystals fell onto Xia Ning's clothes or her sister's hair, and were then swept off, becoming part of the white earth.
The sky and the earth were separated by a boundary line, but the glaciers, lakes, forests, mountains, and land were connected in a line, and the undulating curves slowly unfolded before Xia Ning's eyes.
Everything was silent, save for the sound of her younger sister pushing aside the snowdrifts and the occasional rustling of Xia Ning picking up a dry twig.
Humans are incredibly adaptable.
At first, Xia Ning was extremely reluctant to leave the cabin, but in just a few days, she seemed to have adapted to the heavy clothes and the less convenient life.
The snow was above her knees, so in addition to her moisture-proof pants, she would wear a layer of knee pads. And to prevent water from getting into her shoes and socks, Xia Ning would wrap a layer of plastic wrap around her thick cotton socks before putting on her high-top snow boots.
Spending the entire day outdoors, eating and using the toilet are all troublesome matters.
Therefore, although Xia Ning does not spend the night in the wild, she still sets up a tent at the temporary camp.
Today's goal is to catch more fish, so Xia Ning found a campsite by the river, cleared the snow off it, and then set up a snow-proof tent on the half-meter-thick ice.
To increase insulation and prevent cold air from getting in, the edges of the tent were weighed down with thick snow.
Laying a moisture-proof mat inside the tent, and then adding an air mattress, creates Xia Ning's simple resting place.
When she needs to relieve herself or rest, she takes out a simple heater from her storage space.
In the beginning, before the earthquake in "Disaster City", Xia Ning would spend half a day setting up a tent, reading the instructions as she went, and she was exhausted by the end.
Now she's a skilled worker.
In no time at all, without even breaking a sweat.
Counting the days, she has been involved in the survival game for more than seventy days.
Xia Ning now weighs 123 pounds and has developed solid muscles, so she can be considered someone who looks slim in clothes but has a muscular build when undressed.
Xia Ning was initially quite satisfied with her training results, but whenever a strong gust of wind blew by, almost causing her to stumble and fall into a snowdrift, Xia Ning became less satisfied.
As her stamina increased, Xia Ning felt that she seemed to grow taller as well.
She used to be 165cm, now she's probably 168cm.
In pursuit of efficiency, Xia Ning cast a fishing net and, while waiting, went to chisel a second hole. She repeated this process, smashing 12 ice holes into the ice in one go.
If my sister hadn't already run off to catch rabbits...
For a moment, Xia Ning even considered throwing her younger sister into the ice hole so that it could transform into a dolphin and snatch the fish up.
The younger sister, unaware that it had escaped unscathed, returned with three rabbits when it was time to go home, apparently having disturbed the rabbit burrow.
Xia Ning also caught more than thirty fish.
That evening, Xia Ning ended her hunting activity.
The total gains are as follows:
8 wild rabbits - 80 survival points.
Pheasant x1 - 20 survival points.
Green Snake x1 - 30 Survival Points
Moose x1 - 100 survival points
Black Bear x1 - 110 Survival Points
White Wolf x11 - 330 Survival Points
Salmon x11 - 220 survival points
Sturgeon x23 - 230 Survival Points
Snow Fox x1 - 35 Survival Points
A total of 1155 survival points.
Xia Ning looked at her settlement data and felt triumphant, finally dispelling the frustration of having 0 survival points in the previous dungeon.
As white mist rose outside, blurring the outlines of the world once more, the system emitted its flamboyant, outlandish light.
—The “I Am a Little Hunter” competition has officially begun.

—Ranked 1-60, grade A.
