Chapter 147 Xu Nian’s plan within a plan: Snow leopard tricks the dog?
"After I left you, I went to find my good friends. Then something happened along the way, so I came back and ran into a pack of bad dogs." Kai'e, his tail drooping and his ears twitching, cautiously glanced at Los next to him. Then, he licked his paw and said unwillingly, "I've noticed there are more and more of them."
"Mastiffs?" Xu Nian frowned. He had originally wanted to ask Kaier how he communicated with the mastiffs, but now it seemed that even Kaier himself was having a hard time communicating with them. He felt a little worried for a moment and asked, "How did you make friends with those mastiffs before?"
"I don't know." Kaie wanted to brag, but when he looked at Xu Nian, he inevitably saw Los's warning gaze, so he had to answer honestly, "Anyway, when one of the mastiffs was fighting with another snow leopard, I happened to have an old grudge against that snow leopard. I wasn't trying to help the mastiff, I just wanted to beat up the other snow leopard. But the mastiff seemed to think I was helping it. Later, I noticed that when I went near it, they wouldn't chase or bite me. Even if I tried to drive them away, they would just move aside and had no intention of fighting. But they would attack other wolves, bears, and even snow leopards very fiercely. So I guess they thought I saved it that time, so they became good friends."
There were some misunderstandings in the middle, but fortunately we became good friends in the end, which is a good result.
"This reason..." Xu Nian thought of many reasons, but he never thought it would be because of this. He seemed a little surprised, but he quickly understood the Mastiff's thoughts. The Mastiff's character is straightforward, and it is indeed possible to make friends for this reason.
"Why do you ask that?" asked Kaye.
"I was wondering how you communicated with the mastiffs, as neither we nor them could understand each other..." Xu Nian paused, then looked at Kaie and asked, "By the way, why did you suddenly come to us? Are you...being hunted by Luo Yin?"
It’s no wonder Xu Nian thinks this way. After all, Kaie’s bad luck has already silenced Xu Nian.
"..." Kai'er's eyes drifted for a moment, and he immediately changed the subject, saying, "I'm not here to talk about this. I'm here to be your partner. I think if the mastiffs continue like this, we'll be in big trouble by winter. So I think we'd better find a way to deal with them. At least, we can't let them roam around freely and we can't hunt together."
Xu Nian nodded slightly. He had thought about this. Although a single mastiff could not defeat a snow leopard, if many of them surrounded it, not to mention the snow leopard, even a bear would have to be considered.
If this continues for a long time, it will indeed be unfriendly to the snow leopard. Its living space will be drastically reduced and the danger of hunting will be greatly increased.
"We really need to find a way to solve this problem." Xu Nian knew very well that the fault did not lie with the stray mastiffs, but with the humans who abandoned them. They raised them on a large scale when they needed them, and abandoned them when they didn't need them, leaving them to wander in the snow-capped mountains, thus oppressing the living space of other wild animals.
But now, all they can do is find ways to minimize the impact of this matter on themselves.
So, the three snow leopards were half-lying on the rock wall thinking about this problem. Xu Nian was still lying in the den with Los, while Kaie was blowing his paw beside them. It seemed that the left front paw that Xu Nian accidentally stepped on was indeed more swollen than the other paws, and it was obvious that something was wrong.
It leaned over and licked its paws, feeling that Xu Nian was much heavier than before. It was all because of Xu Nian's love-brained spouse, who only knew how to let Xu Nian eat prey every day, so he became so much heavier!
It licked its paws anxiously, its tail shaking gently behind it, and after walking a few circles with its paws hooked, it half-lay on the ground with its two front paws casually lying on the ground. It fell asleep while licking its paws without knowing when.
When Kaie woke up the next morning, he still hadn't realized where he was. He subconsciously stretched, opened his mouth to reveal his fangs, and opened his front paws to reveal his paw pads. Then he turned his head and looked around, realizing where he was.
"Kaie, I've got an idea." Xu Nian saw Kaie wake up, walked over, and immediately took a look at his raised paw. The swelling hadn't gone down yet, so Xu Nian tilted his head slightly and said, "Your paw seems swollen. Can you still move it? Move it so I can see."
Kaie raised his left front paw to show Xu Nian, then opened the paw, tightened it, opened it, tightened it, opened it again, and tightened it again. After repeating this several times, Xu Nian was sure that there was no problem with the paw, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"What do you think you can do?" Kaie asked, his attention still on what Xu Nian had said before.
"I was thinking, maybe we can continue to use the method you used before to contact other mastiffs, but we can only try it and cannot regard it as an absolutely successful method. It would be best if we can establish a good relationship with this group of mastiffs. At least it will pose less threat to our survival. If there is still no progress, it doesn't matter. In short, it won't be worse than it is now." Xu Nian said.
After he said this, Kaie thought for two seconds and immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "How do we do it?"
Xu Nian squatted on the ground, his tail swaying gently behind him. After assessing his own strength, he cast his gaze towards the two snow leopards, Los and Kaie, and said, "I think you have a heavy responsibility!"
Kaie tilted his head slightly, confusion in his eyes. As a snow leopard, he felt that this was not a good thing.
Half an hour later, the two snow leopards were half-lying on the rock wall, but one was on top and the other was on the bottom. Kaie lay on the bottom of the rock wall and said, "Are you sure this method really works?"
"It's useful. I'm sure the wolves particularly like to come here. Lately, the mastiffs have also been fond of coming here. One of them is young and energetic, so it's easy to be lured here." Xu Nian said, "I'll have Los use something to lure it over here. As long as it's surrounded by the wolves, and we rescue it in a critical moment, we can replicate what you did before. However, whether we can win the mastiffs' favor is uncertain."
The method was a bit despicable, but there was no other way. Rather than a direct conflict, Xu Nian still hoped to solve the biggest trouble at the lowest cost and minimize the danger to himself.
He actually didn't know how Los had managed to lure the mastiff over, but since Los said it could be done, Xu Nian naturally believed it.
He lay on the rock and observed the situation, his tail shaking slightly because of nervousness, until a figure came into his sight. Xu Nian found that it was the figure of the mastiff. He thought it was Los, but he did not see Los.
At this moment, the appearance of the mastiff obviously attracted the attention of the wolves nearby. The wolves and mastiffs didn't get along well in the beginning, and now they became even more hostile to each other. The young mastiff realized that something was wrong, it barked a few times, and retreated vigilantly. However, the wolves thought it was a group of mastiffs at first, but they didn't expect that it was just a young man.
The wolves immediately surrounded this place slowly from all sides. When Xu Nian was thinking about when to rush forward, he felt the rock under him shaking slightly. He turned his head and saw Los.
"Don't be in a hurry, wait a little longer." Los leaned over and licked Xu Nian's back, saying, "You'll be on top for a while, don't get down."
Kai'e flicked his tail twice beneath the rock. After thinking for two seconds, he cautiously said, "Hey, you two up there, you haven't forgotten I'm down there, have you?"
"No." Xu Nian said immediately, "Wait for my signal. When I say charge, you go and rescue the mastiff immediately. The wolves are probably just trying to take advantage of the mastiff being alone and attack it. But if the snow leopard is here too, they definitely don't want a three-way fight and will choose to retreat."
The wolves are cautious and cunning, and will never let the snow leopard take advantage of them.
This method of a plan within a plan is something that only humans can come up with, and now only the Snow Leopard version of the People's Education Press can come up with it.
This method may not be able to fool humans, but it is relatively easy to gain the trust of puppies.
