Chapter 150: Shepherding Xu Nian: Ah? Me? Raising sheep? ...
Xu Nian's original intention was to show friendliness to the mastiff, but there seemed to be a small problem with the operation. At least now it looks not friendly but tamed.
Xu Nian saw the mastiff as he was coming down the mountain. It didn't seem to have any ill intentions, merely following him closely. He had no idea what the mastiff was up to, but its constant following did leave him somewhat bewildered. He glanced back at the equally wary Los and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
"I don't know." Luo Si paused and said, "It doesn't look like he wants to make friends with you."
Xu Nian thought for a moment, then turned his head to look at the mastiffs behind him. They all tilted their heads slightly and looked at Xu Nian, their eyes bright, as if they saw something familiar. Xu Nian saw that the tails of the mastiffs were wagging happily. He carefully raised his left front paw, and sure enough, the mastiffs squatted down in a very uniform manner, raised their right front paw, and then half-crouched down in a very uniform manner.
The good news is that these mastiffs are very smart and seem to be very friendly to Xu Nian.
The bad news is that they seem to see the side of their former master in Xu Nian and are very willing to follow him.
All dogs want to have an owner, even if it's just pretending to have one, even if that owner may not be a human but a snow leopard.
"People's Education Edition" Snow Leopard Xu Nian finally fell into deep thought. He squatted on the ground very seriously, staring at the mastiffs in front of him with a serious face, wondering what was wrong with his way of making friends.
Los on the side simply stopped and squatted aside, licking his paw pads. Looking at Xu Nian's serious expression, he liked him more and more. He did not urge him, and even felt that this kind of thing was a bit novel.
"Could it be that my method is wrong?" Xu Nian thought for two seconds, he tilted his head slightly, and felt that his method was almost the same as Kai's, just a slight change. When the big furry tail swayed gently behind him, the eyes of the mastiffs in front also fell on Xu Nian's big tail.
Obviously, cats and dogs have different body languages. Even if snow leopards and mastiffs live in the same area, their body languages are different. For example, Xu Nian's big tail, which is as long as his body, is swaying gently behind him. It is obvious that he is thinking about something, and his tail is swaying subconsciously, but when the group of mastiffs saw it, they became excited and their tails immediately lifted up and kept swaying behind him.
Wagging a tail and wagging a tail are definitely two different things. Xu Nian's expression is different from that of this group of mastiffs.
"I don't think they are excited about making friends with you, but they are purely happy to see you." Los paid close attention and confirmed that when these mastiffs saw Xu Nian, their eyes almost lit up and they were about to pounce on him.
They all twitched their noses, as if they wanted to get closer to Xu Nian and sniff him a little, but then they tilted their heads slightly, as if they were a little confused. After hesitating for a long time, they stood there without moving.
Xu Nian and Los spotted the two mountain goats while they were grazing, while the mastiffs followed them from a distance, wanting to approach but not daring to. Seeing this, Kaie almost got jealous. He raised his paw and walked over to Xu Nian, lowering his voice and saying, "Brother, how did you do it? Tell me."
Kaier's tail flicked slightly, clearly showing great interest in the matter. Xu Nian followed Kaier's gaze to the group of obedient mastiffs behind him and whispered, "To be honest, I'm not quite sure why. Perhaps you could try raising your left and right hands to train them and see if that works."
When Xu Nian did this before, Kai'e was actually there, but he wasn't very optimistic about this method. He didn't expect it to actually work. Now that it had been verified, he immediately turned around and walked towards the group of mastiffs. He thought he had mastered the method, and immediately walked over with his head held high and chest puffed out, then confidently raised his left front paw under the gaze of the group of mastiffs and said, "Sit down!"
The group of mastiffs ignored it and just tilted their heads slightly to look at it, their eyes full of confusion.
"I say, sit down!" Kaier imitated Xu Nian, squatting on the ground, raising his left front paw high so that the mastiffs could see him clearly, and clearing his throat, he shouted, "Sit down!"
In fact, this sound is just a louder "meow" sound to the ears of the mastiff.
Xu Nian was able to succeed because Los was able to demonstrate on the side, but there was no one to demonstrate on Kaie's side. Even though the mastiff now knew the meaning of raising its left and right paws, it still would not listen to whoever did it.
The mastiffs looked at Kaier with a hint of vigilance in their eyes, without any friendliness. Kaier felt a little sad, and began to miss his good friends. It turned out that dogs are just different!
Xu Nian was still preparing to hunt when he caught a glimpse of Kaie out of the corner of his eye. He was holding his tail in his mouth and preparing to leave, climbing the mountain wall alone, looking like he had been abandoned by the whole world.
After a moment of silence, Xu Nian raised his head slightly to look at Los next to him and whispered, "Why do I feel like Kai'er is missing his good friend so much lately?"
"I don't know, maybe." Los hadn't noticed it before. Only after Xu Nian mentioned it did he remember to take a look. Then he looked away and said softly, "Maybe seeing these mastiffs reminded him of his good friends, but these mastiffs didn't want to play with him."
Xu Nian felt that what Los said made sense. He nodded and then fixed his gaze on the two mountain goats again. He said, "Let's catch the smaller one. It looks easier to succeed, and there's more food for us."
The little blue sheep that Xu Nian mentioned was actually not small in size, but it was just a little smaller than the one next to it. Los nodded slightly when he heard this. Xu Nian could eat whichever one he wanted to eat. For it, the difficulty of hunting these two was actually about the same.
However, in order to train Xu Nian's hunting ability, most hunts are now centered around Xu Nian. He is responsible for the attack, and Los usually wanders around. If Xu Nian fails in hunting, he will take the prey.
Xu Nian lowered his body, and the form of a mature snow leopard was immediately revealed vividly. He already had wildness, and although his body was still furry, he looked like a well-raised snow leopard.
His eyes were fixed on the two ibex, and he moved his gaze to the smaller one. His furry paws stepped lightly on the ground, making a slight sound.
The two mountain goats were more cautious. They raised their heads at the same time and looked around, but they didn't see any movement. This time they did not lower their heads to eat grass together. After the two goats whispered to each other, the smaller one lowered its head to eat grass, while the other one was alert to the surroundings to prevent any predators from ambushing here.
However, they had already been targeted by the snow leopards, and no matter how cautious they were, they would not be able to escape today.
Xu Nian raised his paw and slowly approached. He pressed close to the stone wall, hiding his figure. His tail, which he had previously been unable to control, was now dragging behind him. He quietly glanced at the sheep grazing, and then whispered, "Now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out. The sheep that was on guard around did not expect that there was really a snow leopard lying in ambush nearby and had already launched an attack towards it. It reacted almost immediately, but instead of turning around and running away, it rushed forward to block the smaller sheep, turned around and bleated at the other party. Seeing its companion immediately run away, it was ready to leave.
But it was too late. Xu Nian didn't catch the lamb, so he simply changed his target and tried to catch this one.
They are all sheep anyway, and they all need to be eaten, so it doesn't matter who you catch.
The ibex immediately turned around and ran, but such a short distance was not enough to shake off the snow leopard, which was also good at chasing. It was soon pinned down by the snow leopard that pounced on it, bitten on the neck, and let out a desperate cry.
Xu Nian used his size advantage to press down on the sheep, his fangs biting the sheep's neck tightly, blood spurting out. He blinked, and his furry ears trembled slightly a few times. His breathing became a little heavy. Los had no intention of intervening. He watched Xu Nian hunting from a distance, and his eyes were full of pride when he saw him suppressing his prey.
Who in the entire snowy mountain could teach his mate to hunt? Only Los could.
Xu Nian's hunting skills are exactly the same as its, it can be said to be exactly the same, because it was taught by it personally.
The warm blood of the blue sheep was in Xu Nian's mouth. Perhaps because the taste buds of animals and humans are different, when he was a human, he would definitely not be able to accept the taste of this blood. But now that he is a snow leopard, he does not think the smell of blood is very unpleasant. Instead, it has a very strange smell that is very attractive to wild beasts, especially large beasts like snow leopards.
Xu Nian noticed that the mountain goat under his fangs was still struggling, so he bit it tighter. His eyes became fierce and his furry ears were pressed back due to the force.
Finally, the ibex stopped struggling. Its eyes were open, covered with a layer of deathly gray. Xu Nian then loosened his fangs, licked his own fangs with his tongue, and gently swung his tail. He squatted down beside the ibex and said, "Why did I feel like it was protecting that sheep just now?"
"Yes." Los didn't care about the feelings of his prey. He leaned over and licked Xu Nian. He felt very proud that Xu Nian had grown into what he is today in just half a year.
Xu Nian leaned over and kissed Los, responded to him, then pushed the mountain goat in front of Los and shared the goat with Los.
When he was still a human, he thought that one day when he had his own nest, he would raise a kitten and live with it. Now that he hasn't raised a kitten yet, how can it not be considered as exceeding his goal to raise a cat this big?
"How am I now compared to when you first met me?" Xu Nian leaned over, with a hint of pride in his eyes.
"It looks better." Los's eyes fell on Xu Nian's face and he said very seriously, "It's also more powerful."
It never hesitates to praise Xu Nian, and would like to use all the best words it knows to describe Xu Nian.
How can a snow leopard be so beautiful? It turns out that it is its year that is so beautiful.
The blue sheep had just finished eating, and the two snow leopards were about to return after eating, but they unexpectedly encountered another blue sheep, and it was the blue sheep that had just escaped.
The mountain goat was standing there shivering, obviously not standing there on its own initiative. Xu Nian was stunned at first, and then he found that there were mastiffs around. At first he thought that the mastiffs were surrounding him and was frightened, but after observing for a while he found that when the mastiffs looked at him, there were flattering looks in their eyes, and their tails kept shaking, shrinking the encirclement smaller and surrounding the mountain goat.
Seeing this, Xu Nian had an incredible idea in his mind——
This pack of mastiffs is helping him herd the sheep.
It's really a pure sheepdog.
But the problem is, he is a snow leopard, a snow leopard, a snow leopard!
"Why do I feel like they want us to raise the sheep?" Even Los noticed something was amiss. He observed carefully for a moment and said, "Remember the sheep pen we saw before? It looks like that one."
