Chapter 144 Snow Leopard Sticks to Xu Nian: Waist Collapse
Xu Nian originally thought that the mastiffs were just passing by, but he soon realized something was wrong. The mastiffs seemed to think that this was a good place with abundant prey, so after strolling around, they actually wanted to stay here.
Snow leopards often live high in the mountains, but occasionally they come down the mountain to hunt. This inevitably causes their hunting territories to overlap, and encounters with each other are inevitable.
"I roughly counted them today. There are about a dozen mastiffs in this group. I don't know where they came from." Xu Nian licked his paws. He was squatting on a rock. Los, who was standing behind him, was licking his fur with his head down. But when he heard Xu Nian talking, Los' furry ears twitched slightly, indicating that he heard what Xu Nian said and expressed his approval.
Xu Nian's tail twitched slightly as he stared at the two mastiffs below as they brought back their prey to eat. It was obvious that this group of mastiffs was very united. He subconsciously twitched his nose slightly, but at such a high altitude, he couldn't smell anything. It was purely a habit of the snow leopard.
"But we don't need to worry." Los said: "At least the wolves should be the most anxious now."
After all, although the hunting grounds of this group of mastiffs overlap with the hunting grounds of snow leopards, they are actually in greater competition with the wolves. Their prey and fighting methods are very similar. So Los does not intend to test the strength of this group of mastiffs by himself. He is waiting for the wolves and mastiffs to fight, so that he can estimate the strength of this group of mastiffs.
Xu Nian's thoughts were almost identical to Los's. He licked his paw, enjoying Los's licking. His anxiety lessened, and he half-closed his eyes as he looked down. "If I'm right, the wolves must be observing these mastiffs right now."
The two snow leopards leaned against each other and looked to the left at the same time. A vulture had landed on the rocks on the ground, ready to eat the remaining marmot, but it seemed to see something and immediately took off in fright.
This movement did not attract the mastiff's attention, but Xu Nian, who was observing the mastiff from top to bottom, saw it at once. He slightly tilted his head and stared at the front, and sure enough, he saw the tail popping out a little bit.
Sure enough, the wolf was found here, observing in the dark.
Wolves are not easy animals to get along with. They are very cunning and treacherous, and have a lot of tricks in their minds. Xu Nian has some understanding of this somewhat noisy neighbor.
"It doesn't matter whether we have a wolf or a dog as our neighbor; we still have to bark," Xu Nian said. "Snow leopards are better; they're quiet and well-mannered."
Xu Nian praised himself and the wild snow leopard beside him. Los didn't know what "quality" meant, but it sounded like a word praising a leopard. Suddenly, his tail lifted up slightly, trembled a few times, and then rested on Xu Nian's body. He then leaned over and kissed Xu Nian, saying, "You're right."
Thanks to the vulture, Xu Nian and Los discovered the wild wolf hiding in the crevices of rocks and bushes. The wolf was very good at concealing its body. The two snow leopards observed the wolf's movements very patiently. Seeing that the other party was still watching here, they occasionally adjusted their posture, trying to see more clearly.
When the sun was about to set, the wolf immediately left while the mastiff was out hunting.
"It has its own estimate of the strength of these mastiffs." Los said: "Don't go hunting alone recently, and don't stray too far from me." Los said: "Whether the wolves or mastiffs discover your whereabouts, it will not be a good thing for you."
Xu Nian nodded in agreement. In nature, animals compete with each other for survival resources and prey. As a snow leopard, it is indeed dangerous for Xu Nian to encounter wolves or mastiffs.
In the evening, when the sun was setting, Los took Xu Nian down the mountain.
Because it was summer, the temperature was obviously much higher, but at night, the temperature dropped sharply. Fortunately, the snow leopard's fur was enough to withstand this temperature difference. When Xu Nian walked down the mountain, Los followed him, and the two snow leopards walked together towards the place where there were the most marmots.
Marmots like to live in groups, and it is easy to find their locations. Xu Nian and Los found the marmots with almost no effort. He and Los looked at each other, and immediately separated to look for their own prey. Then they prepared to go home after the hunt and a big meal.
Now Xu Nian can hunt independently, and Los has been following him mainly because he is worried that he will encounter wolves or mastiffs. However, Xu Nian was lucky during this period and did not encounter anything.
After about ten minutes, the two snow leopards, each holding a marmot, ate together. Afterwards, they gathered together and licked each other's blood, their tails gently wagging a few times. Los's eyes were extremely gentle, and he whispered, "You..."
Xu Nian moved and looked up at Los. Seeing such an affectionate look in his eyes, he thought he was going to say something sweet. His tail swayed slightly, and he looked well-behaved and shy, but his ears stood up, obviously waiting for Los to speak. He only heard Los say gently, "You're losing hair. You need to eat more recently."
“…” Xu Nian was silent for a moment. This was very different from what he thought. Besides, what does hair loss have to do with eating less?
He couldn't help but glance down at his own figure again. He didn't feel thinner at all. He was clearly well-fed. He couldn't help but say, "Actually, I'm not thinner. It might be because I originally had a lot of hair, so I look very fluffy. Now that it's summer, the hair will fall off more or less, so I look a little thinner. Don't worry, I'll grow back soon."
Hearing Xu Nian say this, Los leaned over and sniffed Xu Nian gently, saying, "Okay."
The two snow leopards rubbed against each other, and then returned to their den one after the other. They lay on the cliff and looked at the scenery together. Their fur was ruffled by the wind, and they tidied each other up and licked each other's fur.
Vultures were already standing on the marmots they had left behind, lowering their heads to clean the meat scraps between the marmot bones.
Shortly after the two snow leopards left, a mastiff walked past. It seemed to have smelled something, and suddenly stopped, walked over and sniffed, looked around, and then barked a few times to call its companions over.
After a while, several mastiffs came to the marmot. The vulture was frightened by them and took off directly, spread its wings and circled high in the sky, refusing to land for a long time, carefully observing the movements below.
These marmots obviously discovered the traces of the snow leopard. There was a look of vigilance in their eyes, and then they looked towards where the wolves were. Obviously, they also knew very well that as latecomers, they would have to face not only wolves, but also snow leopards and even brown bears.
But they have no choice but to continue like this.
When the two snow leopards returned to their den, they licked the blood on each other's bodies. Los noticed that Xu Nian had eaten much less recently, and the whole snow leopard looked a little listless, with its tail hanging behind it. Only when it heard Los talking would it swing it gently in response.
"No appetite? Or are you in a bad mood lately?" Ross tilted his head slightly, listing all the possibilities he could think of, and said, "Or... are you worried about the mastiff?"
"None of that." Xu Nian shook his head gently and said, "I just don't have much of an appetite. I don't want to eat anymore."
He licked his paws. In the summer, his appetite had decreased a lot. His tail hung casually behind him. Occasionally, when he was bored, his tail became a tool for him to amuse himself.
Hearing this, Los leaned over and gently licked Xu Nian, then rubbed him and said, "Okay, if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me. Also tell me what you want to eat, and I can grab it."
When it spoke, its eyes were attracted by Xu Nian's soft and elastic ears. It was suddenly surprised that Xu Nian's ears were more furry and more sensitive than those of other snow leopards. When it leaned over to speak, his ears would turn slightly red.
Los stood up. This sudden action made Xu Nian, who was enjoying the licking of his fur, subconsciously open his eyes. He turned his head and looked in the direction he was going. He saw Los approaching and gently biting the back of Xu Nian's neck.
Xu Nian's face immediately turned red when he realized what Los was going to do, but fortunately the hair covered it and nothing could be seen.
"Is it okay?" Ross asked.
Xu Nian looked at the setting sun, the sunset, he raised his head slightly, and then lay down on the ground very directly, and raised his tail. He looked around, and the stone next to him blocked his view, so that he would not be spied on by the vultures flying back and forth.
Los came over and bit the back of Xu Nian's neck again. Xu Nian raised his head slightly and said in a muffled voice, "Be gentle, or I won't play this summer."
"Okay." Los nodded immediately and said seriously, "I know. I can't bear to part with it."
Except for the first time when he was a little too heavy-handed, Los actually tried to control his strength deliberately afterwards to never let the tragedy of the first time happen again.
Xu Nian felt very comfortable having his fur licked. A vulture had landed on the rock before, and looked over here curiously. After being growled at by Los very ruthlessly, the vulture felt that there was no point, so it spread its wings and flew away.
"What a beautiful sunset, what a beautiful view." Xu Nian's angle was perfect for seeing the sunset. His furry face was illuminated by the afterglow, appearing to be coated with a layer of light golden light. His long furry tail twitched slightly a few times, and his ears twitched again. He lifted his nose, sniffed gently, and muttered, "That's the smell I like."
"You're pretty, too." Los finally learned to say something sweet this time. He licked Xu Nian and said seriously, "You're the snow leopard I like."
At this moment, although Xu Nian had furry snow leopard hair on his face, anyone could see that he was blushing.
Anyone who hears such sweet love words will feel touched and blush, but fortunately, they are of different species now, and no animals except snow leopards can understand what they said. Xu Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's time to start." Xu Nian turned his head and kissed Los, saying, "You are also my favorite snow leopard."
[Beep beep—Snow Leopard car—beep beep—]
The next morning, Xu Nian felt a slightly wet touch before he woke up. He was so tired that he didn't know when he fell asleep yesterday, but it was indeed very comfortable.
When he felt his face was wet, he forced himself to open his eyes and looked outside. Then he saw that Los had woken up long ago and was staring at him intently, as if he was looking at the most precious treasure in the world. Perhaps to the snow leopard, Xu Nian was much more important than this so-called rare treasure.
Because Xu Nian is Los's sweetheart, and it took him a lot of thought and effort to keep her by his side.
"Sleep a little longer." Los lowered his head and licked Xu Nian vigorously, then half-hugged him in his arms, rubbed him and said, "Nian Nian, you are very soft."
Xu Nian suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look at Los, wondering what kind of ridiculous words these were and where he learned them from. However, he soon discovered that what Los said was true. His limbs were indeed weak, his waist was almost broken, and his back collapsed.
