Chapter 185 Animal World (5) - Getting Rid of Si Zhong
As the saying goes, perseverance pays off, and Ning Shu actually found it. She found a small, soft mound and started digging from the base of the mound.
As she was digging the hole with her two front paws, she suddenly felt that the scene was somewhat familiar.
Isn't this her usual routine in the Desert Search instance? Why does she have to dig holes everywhere she goes? I'm speechless.
Digging holes is a rabbit's natural skill, so it wasn't difficult for Ning Shu to do it. She dug a hole that was about 70 or 80 centimeters deep.
To prevent rainwater from flowing back into her cave, she deliberately dug a slope upwards.
If it rains like this, the rainwater can't flow back into her cave.
After finishing all that, she realized it was completely dark outside. Going out at night wasn't safe, so she decided to stay inside the cave.
After working for so long, she was a little hungry, so she decided to pick up some grass near the burrow entrance to eat. There shouldn't be any problem with rabbits eating grass.
She thought she couldn't see anything, but she didn't expect that rabbits could see at night, which was an amazing ability.
After observing her surroundings and listening intently for a while, she figured there was nothing nearby. She then bit off the grass blades near the cave entrance and carried them back into the cave.
She did this several times until she felt she had enough grass before stopping.
When she carried the grass back to her burrow for the last time, she thought of the saying "a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow." Is this just a joke about male-female relationships, or a description of the safety of a rabbit's living environment?
After thinking it over, she leaned towards the latter. If a rabbit eats the grass near its burrow, it's clearly telling humans that there's a live rabbit there, which is dangerous.
So, her refusal to "eat the grass near her burrow" is merely to create the illusion that "there are no live rabbits here." I wonder if this will cause her trouble.
After thinking it over, she decided to just leave it at that. Since she had already done it, she could just be more careful. She could go to a farther place to fetch grass and maybe she could get some even faster.
Having figured this out, she was ready to eat grass without any psychological burden.
She first sniffed the grass on the ground, wondering if rabbits liked to eat it. She remembered that rabbits were usually fed carrots or vegetables.
We don't have the necessary conditions here right now, so let's just make do for now.
She started eating the grass, but it didn't taste good, so she spat it out and tried a different kind.
This one isn't good either, let's keep trying... Hmm, this one is nice, but unfortunately we brought back too little. Don't eat it all yet, remember its shape, and we'll eat this one from now on.
At the end of the meal, Ning Shu kept one of the herbs that she thought tasted good, planning to look for it again tomorrow.
After eating his fill, he nestled in the cave, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
She woke up several times during the night from the cold and couldn't stand it anymore. She felt that she needed to find some dry grass to lay on the ground the next day to insulate herself from the dampness and keep herself from getting so cold.
At that moment, she inexplicably thought of the scene during the day when she was held warmly in the arms of the white tiger and fell asleep.
She immediately berated herself, even though it could give her warmth, it considered her its food source and couldn't be misused.
Ning Shu didn't sleep well that night, feeling that her eyes were bloodshot, even though they were already red.
After getting up, she secretly looked around the cave entrance, listened to the surrounding sounds, and found no danger. Then she looked for two things near the cave entrance.
One was hay, and the other was grass that she thought tasted good last night.
She noticed that after a night, many blades of grass had dew on them. Oh, that's water! She quickly went over and licked them to replenish her moisture.
Suddenly she felt she needed to relieve herself, so she found a place to do so.
After finishing, she continued to drink water. Once she was full, she picked up the grass she wanted to eat.
Why not pick up the hay first? Because she found that the hay was wet with dew and needed to be dried first.
She first carried the provisions back into the cave, busying herself back and forth all morning. Finally, when the sun was at its highest point, when it was scorching hot, she began to arrange the hay she was going to carry back into the cave.
Ning Shu felt that there wasn't enough grass in the open space to be exposed to the sun, so he turned over all the dry grass in the open space to let the sun dry it more thoroughly.
Then go to other places and gather all the hay that can't be exposed to the sun, spread it out evenly on the ground, and let it feel the scorching heat of the sun.
After finishing their work, they returned to the cave to enjoy the provisions they had brought back. After eating their fill, they went out to turn over and dry the hay.
During the drying process, we found that some grass no longer needed to be dried, so we moved it back into the cave and spread it out on the ground.
After spreading out a thin layer, she tried lying on it and found it very comfortable. Perhaps it was because it had just been sunbathed; the hay was warm and cozy.
So, she spent the afternoon turning over and moving hay, eventually filling her cave with a thick layer of straw, which felt as comfortable as lying on a mattress.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, she went out again to fetch some more food and fodder, deciding to spend the remaining eight days in the cave.
As night fell again, she nestled comfortably in her straw mattress and went to sleep.
At this moment, a white tiger couldn't sleep.
Si Zhong is a bit irritable now. Yesterday, when he was dealing with the lion, the rabbit did indeed escape.
The lion is just an NPC and hasn't been buffed by the dungeon, so he can handle it, but he's injured; his face and body have injuries of varying degrees.
The main reason was that it was the first time using an animal's body in combat, and they were not used to it, so they did not bring out the tiger's full strength.
After killing the lion, he tore open its flesh and devoured it.
While eating, he kept looking around for the rabbit, and when he didn't see it, he knew what was going on.
Although he was the king of beasts, his appetite was not exaggerated. He only ate a quarter of the lion, and he mostly ate the parts that tasted best.
After finishing his meal, he went to the stream to drink water and washed the blood from his mouth.
He originally intended to track the rabbit, but because of his injuries, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to defeat another wild beast, so he decided to hide and recover first.
So he went back to the cave he had found earlier to rest. As he lay down to rest, he was still thinking, how dare she run away at such a crucial moment. He would definitely teach Little Potato a lesson when he recovered.
Si Zhong didn't expect that his injury would take so long to heal. It took him three days to recover, and it wasn't until the fifth day that he felt the injury was no longer a problem.
He now felt he could kill another lion, so he prepared to go out and find rabbits.
Tigers have the natural ability to hunt by scent, so he began searching for the rabbit by its scent.
Ning Shu, who had been comfortably staying in the cave for several days, thought that she would be happy if she could just stay like this until she cleared the game.
She hesitated several times over the past few days about whether or not to go out to look for Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi, but after thinking it over, she gave up.
She's so weak right now, even if she were found, she couldn't protect them.
If they are strong, they can live well without her help.
If they are weak, they are just a large, walking food source if they stay together; any wild beast could wipe them out in one fell swoop.
