Chapter 261: Encountering the Black Beast (4)
Two strange beasts were groping in the bamboo forest, as if looking for something.
Now, after seeing two real black beasts, Xia Tian was able to confirm her guess -
This is definitely the giant panda in this world.
However, didn’t Si Ye say that they are usually active during the day and rest at night?
Why do we still see female animals with their cubs out and about so late at night?
"They're foraging for food, searching for young seedlings," Si Ye explained. "There's a very clear hierarchy within the black beast family. Males eat during the day, while females and their cubs can only come out to forage at night."
"You said they can't come out to forage during the day?" Xia Tian hadn't expected the giant pandas here to have such a rule. "Then if they were born female, wouldn't that mean they'd never see the sun again?"
Females have a high status in the animal world, and she thought the situation was similar for exotic animals.
Unexpectedly, they were not even allowed to go out to forage for food during the day.
"It's not that exaggerated," Si Ye continued. "It's just that the males don't want to see the females and their cubs. It's a very strange thing, and no one knows why. As a result, the females and their cubs have to go out less during the day, and they definitely won't get enough to eat, so they can only come out to forage at night."
"So it's a snack..." Xia Tian understood why Si Ye was reluctant to let her come with him.
It turns out that the male black beast comes out during the day, while the female beast and its cubs come out at night?
"But don't worry. The female beast with cubs is very good-tempered. As long as we don't harm her cubs, we'll be safe." Si Ye reminded her to get down to business. "Aren't you going to take Jieshu back with you? Tell me what kind you want, and I'll help you."
"Okay, let's hurry up." Xia Tiantian nodded, carefully crawled out of the man's arms, deliberately avoiding the sight of the mother and son, and went to look for the materials she wanted.
It can be seen that the soil and water in this area are very good, so the bamboos here are grown tall and straight.
She quickly found the ones she wanted, pointed at them, and began to instruct Si Ye, "I want ones of this thickness. Considering the distance from the river to our cave, about ten should be enough."
These bamboos are basically more than twenty meters long. After removing the unusable parts, ten pieces are more than enough.
"Also, you can take some tender bamboos like this back home to make some handicrafts." Xia Tian said, pointing to the smaller bamboos next to them.
The bamboo used for weaving is different from the material used for water pipes. The former emphasizes toughness while the latter requires stability. Correspondingly, one is thin and the other is thick, one is new and the other is old.
The snow leopard's claws were very sharp, so Si Ye didn't even need to transform into a beast. He only needed to lightly swipe the bamboo with his hand, and the entire bamboo would fall down.
He moved quickly and did the same thing again, and soon he had cut all the bamboo materials he needed.
The huge noise naturally startled the mother and son who were foraging, and also startled other male animals in the bamboo forest who should have been resting at this time.
"They're about to wake up. Let's go back quickly." Si Ye also noticed the changes in the forest and quickly packed up all the bamboo. "I'll take Jie Shu back first. You wait here. Don't worry, you didn't do anything just now. They won't hurt you."
