Chapter 45: Meeting Luo Yinluosi: You let go first!
"Are you going to go down the mountain and hunt by yourself?"
"Can't you take me with you? I can follow you with my prey in my mouth. I'll definitely be obedient."
"But are you going to leave me a leopard here?"
…
Xu Nian followed behind Los, chattering non-stop. Los turned his head helplessly to look at him, gently shook off the snow on his body, and then said, "I'll be back soon. I'm just taking a walk around the area."
An avalanche had just occurred on the opposite side, and other animals would definitely move over here. At least there would be more prey during this period of time. Los wanted to take this opportunity to catch two mountain goats and bring them back for Xu Nian to replenish his body.
After all, Xu Nian's fur was not so fluffy and smooth before. Los wanted to take better care of Xu Nian, keep him clean and beautiful.
Xu Nian still wanted to go together. He raised his paw and gently pawed Los. He looked at Los with clear eyes full of expectation, and his tail swayed gently behind him.
"..." Faced with this look, Los was silent for a moment. After a while, he looked back at the snowy mountain where a small avalanche had just occurred. Considering safety issues, he said firmly, "No, you wait here for me. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, he jumped down directly along the edge of the rock wall and quickly disappeared from Xu Nian's sight. So Xu Nian could only squat in the den like a snow leopard. He sighed deeply and didn't dare to look down the mountain. He looked at the snow-capped mountain opposite with lingering fear.
Their nest is located at a relatively high position, and the cave is hidden and sheltered. In theory, even if an avalanche occurs, the impact will not be great. Los saw the thickness of the snow yesterday, and it is still relatively safe now, but if this blizzard continues, it is hard to say.
"Avalanche." Xu Nian looked at the mountain wall, then looked under his claws, and then walked much lighter.
Los didn't think too much about it. He was just sure that it was safer in the cave than outside, so he asked Xu Nian to wait for it inside the cave. He jumped over the rock wall and his eyes fell on the stone wall not far away. Because of a small avalanche, some places with thinner snow had revealed the exposed mountain wall.
Los just took a quick look and immediately turned and left, walking towards where the prey gathered.
Just as Los expected, many animals came towards this side. It even found a argali that had not been seen for a long time. Compared with other sheep, argali has more meat. Los immediately lowered his body, using the rocks as a cover to hide his body, and then walked down along the cracks in the rock wall. His paw pads stepped on the snow, making almost no sound.
This argali is more robust than the one that knocked Xu Nian flying. Its front horns look very hard and can be used to defend against attacks from other predators.
"It's very big, it must be delicious." Los licked his fangs. He did not change his mind at all because of the two horns. Instead, he was determined to drag the argali back for Xu Nian to eat.
However, this argali was obviously very alert. It lowered its head and then immediately raised it up, looking around. It would continue to eat grass only after making sure there was no danger. But as soon as there was any movement, it would immediately look like it was about to run away.
Seeing this, Los lowered his body and approached the argali silently, trying to keep the distance between them as small as possible so as to achieve a perfect kill with one blow.
There was nothing wrong with its ideas and plans, except that there was another snow leopard who had the same idea.
So when Los rushed out, another snow leopard also rushed out. The two snow leopards collided directly with each other, and then both rolled down the cliff in front of the argali.
The argali raised its head and looked at them, then stopped trying to escape. It thought for a moment, then put its raised hoof down again and continued to nibble on its grass.
It is not common for two snow leopards to collide with each other, but the argali was not at all upset and only had eyes for its own grass.
Because Los and the others were rushing at a very fast speed and rolling down with great force, the two snow leopards fell down almost at the same time. As they were almost unprepared, their backs hit the rock wall, and then they rolled down at an uncontrollable speed.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
There were two sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground, and Los was a little dazed. He climbed up from the snow pile, shook his dizzy head, and smelled a familiar smell when he looked up.
Not only was the smell familiar, it also made it instantly irritable.
The two snow leopards didn't even see who the other was before they started biting each other instinctively. Each bite was merciless, and they immediately raised their claws and started fighting each other.
"Waste!" Los shouted sternly, "I warned you, if you show up again I'll kill you!"
"I'm warning you." Luo Yin said coldly, his fangs still biting Los, and mumbled, "Let go."
"You let go first." Los was also biting Luo Yin, with no intention of loosening his fangs first. They looked at each other warily, neither of them willing to let go first. Their tails hung slightly stiffly behind them, and they stared at each other fiercely.
As two snow leopard brothers who had been fighting since childhood and then fought each other for territory, Los had no good feelings towards his eldest brother, and Luo Yin thought so too.
The Tibetan fox felt that there were a lot of strange things happening during this period. It had been staying in its den for several days. As soon as it stuck its head out, it saw two snow leopards fighting over its head.
It fled quickly, fearing that it would be targeted by the snow leopards. However, the two snow leopards did not notice it from beginning to end. They were just biting each other and refused to let go. The Tibetan fox stayed at a farther place, thinking that it would return to its own nest after the snow leopards left. However, neither of the two snow leopards was willing to let go first. The Tibetan fox looked at them with embarrassment as they always stayed in front of its nest, so that it could not return to its nest.
Xu Nian had no idea what was going on. He was licking his paws seriously, waiting for Los to come back, but he waited and waited and didn't see him, so he couldn't help but worry.
Usually when Los said he would come back early, he would definitely come back soon. Now it was almost nightfall and even the vultures had flown back to their nests, but there was still no sign of the snow leopard.
Just when Xu Nian couldn't wait any longer and wanted to get up to look for Los, he suddenly heard a slight sound. When he turned around, he saw Kaie climbing up with difficulty, holding a marmot in his mouth.
"There's been an avalanche, and the prey over there are all running this way. It's a lot easier to catch them today." Kai'e had clearly had a full meal, with blood still smeared on his face and sides. He looked at Xu Nian and immediately raised his paw to pat the marmot he had caught, saying, "This is the fattest one."
Xu Nian nodded and asked, "Did you see Los when you came here?"
"Los?" Kaie thought for a moment, tilting his head slightly. "No, I was wondering why you were here alone today. Los didn't take you hunting? I told you, no male snow leopard would tolerate another male staying in their territory all the time."
Xu Nian glanced at it sideways. Kaie puffed out his chest and said, "I'm an almost four-year-old snow leopard. I know snow leopards best."
"..." Xu Nian was silent for a moment, then said with emotion: "But Los is only two years old..."
"!" Kaie's defense suddenly broke down, and he shouted angrily, "What's wrong with being over two years old! What's wrong with being over two years old! So what if I lost! I'm telling you, when I was over two years old, I could definitely beat Los!"
Because at that time, Los should still be a little snow leopard cub.
