Chapter 48: It’s Not Suitable to Stay Here for Long Kaier: Saving Your Life is Important
The Tibetan fox was about to move, but was pleasantly surprised to find that the two crazy snow leopards had finally left its home. Now its home was safe again, but before it could come back with the prey, it saw two more snow leopards coming, one in front and one behind. The one in front was sniffing left and right, with a bad look on its face.
It immediately recognized that the snow leopard walking in front was one of the two fighting snow leopards.
Damn snow leopard.
The Tibetan fox cursed inwardly, then quickly left with the prey in its mouth, deciding to run far away as it was not advisable to stay here for long.
"Tibetan fox?" Xu Nian also discovered the Tibetan fox, but he had no intention of attacking it. He was just curious. After all, it was rare to see a fox with such a square face.
"I see." Los followed Xu Nian's gaze and naturally saw the Tibetan fox. He didn't seem to care, lowering his head and continuing to sniff. "They run too fast, making them hard to catch. It's a waste of time and effort, and the meat isn't tasty. It's better to catch blue sheep."
"......?" Xu Nian's face showed a trace of confusion. He tilted his head slightly, looked at Los, and said, "No... not tasty?"
"Hmm." Los also looked at Xu Nian in confusion and asked, "Do you like to eat?"
Xu Nian shook his head. It wasn’t that he liked to eat it, he was just a little surprised. It turned out that what Los had said before about “knowing the Tibetan fox” was this kind of knowledge. The other party was on its menu.
Being stared at by two snow leopards, the Tibetan fox wished it could grow wings and run away. It almost flew and even lost the pika in its mouth.
This Tibetan fox was just a small episode on Xu Nian and Los's hunting trip. Los's paws stepped on the snow, and the paw prints left behind looked very clear, but every time it passed by, its tail would gently sweep to erase some of the remaining traces. When it snowed again, the traces of its footsteps would be completely covered up.
But it's useless now, because Xu Nian likes to walk on its paw prints just like before. Now he finally won't walk in such an enchanting posture, but every time he steps on it with his paw, it will leave a small hole, and the paw print will definitely remain for a short time.
"To be honest," Xu Nian followed behind Los, mumbling, "You haven't taken me out these past few days, and I've been feeling really suffocated. I feel like I've gained weight, but I also feel swollen. It might be because I don't exercise or hunt, so I've become like this."
"Your hair is fluffy." Los said without turning his head.
"But my tail has become thinner." Xu Nian lifted his big tail and tried to move forward a little, trying to show Los, and said, "I think it's because I don't hunt."
Los was caught off guard when he saw a big tail coming towards him. Following the tail, he saw Xu Nian with an innocent face. Before Los could say anything, the other party immediately raised his head slightly and called out softly.
"..." Los intuitively felt that this was not what Xu Nian wanted to say, but its attention was now all on the tail.
It is indeed a little thinner than before, but the fur on its tail is still very smooth. As long as it works hard to hunt and keeps it for a few more days, Xu Nian will definitely be able to have the same shiny and smooth, fluffy and beautiful fur as before.
Seeing that Los had been attracted by his tail, Xu Nian immediately smiled and said, "So I really can't stop hunting for too long. It will make my hunting skills decline and I will lose the survival skills I rely on. Didn't you say that as long as I stay by your side, you will teach me to be a very powerful snow leopard?"
When Los heard this, his furry ears twitched slightly. He felt a little self-doubtful. Did he really say such a thing?
Of course not.
Because Xu Nian had slightly modified his original words, he licked his paw and sighed, "I'm willing to believe you. After all, you're a snow leopard who keeps your word."
"...Tell me, what did you want to say?" Los sighed. Looking at Xu Nian trying his best to get closer, his eyes gradually became somewhat helpless. He had no way to deal with this snow leopard rubbing its tail against him, so he could only say, "Did I really say that?"
"I told you..." Xu Nian looked up at it pitifully and whispered, "I just want to say, don't leave me alone in the den, and don't leave me anywhere else. I will work hard to become a snow leopard that doesn't hold you back."
This expression fell into Los's eyes, and he could only see Xu Nian's beautiful eyes and handsome face. He was actually just thinking about whether he had said this sentence or not, but now it seems that it doesn't matter whether he said it or not.
"I understand." Los licked Xu Nian guiltily, thinking that he must have made him sad by leaving him alone on the mountain, so he whispered a promise: "From now on, I will take you wherever I go."
Anyway, this was its original intention, so there is nothing wrong with making a promise now.
Hearing this, the tip of Xu Nian's tail twitched slightly in pride, and a hint of cunning flashed across his eyes. He lowered his eyes and nodded, rubbing Los, and the action was done in one go.
With Los's assurance, Xu Nian felt that his leopard body was a little safer.
So this hunt was no longer conducted by Los, but by Xu Nian. However, Xu Nian was right in saying that if one did not hunt for a long time, the hunting skills would become a little rusty, especially for a novice snow leopard like him.
After losing two rabbits in a row, Xu Nian risked diving into a snow pile and picked up the rabbit that almost escaped.
"Originally, I wanted to catch a blue sheep." Xu Nian, holding the rabbit in his mouth, looked at Los and said, "But look at that blue sheep... I think the risk is too great."
Several days had passed since the avalanche, and the prey began to disperse. The mountain goats gradually became scarce and even harder to find. This one was particularly strong and ran as fast as the wind, walking on the rock wall as if it were flat ground, leaving Xu Nian, the snow leopard, far behind. It could even stop and leisurely eat grass, and even glanced at Xu Nian casually.
Xu Nian assured me that he saw contempt in the eyes of the mountain goat!
"Do you want to eat mutton?" Los gently tilted his head and rubbed Xu Nian. His tone was very calm, and he didn't even look up to look at the mountain goat.
Xu Nian looked at the agile mountain goat, then looked at Los and nodded firmly.
Then, the ibex realized that there are many snow leopards in the world, and not every one is a personal education version of snow leopard like Xu Nian. Most wild snow leopards are very ferocious, especially Los.
Los started jumping up from halfway up the mountain. Both his front and hind limbs had strong explosive power and were extremely fast. He hardly stopped for a second and quickly rushed towards the ibex.
The reaction speed and jumping ability of this ibex became a joke in Los' eyes. It suddenly leaped over from the rock wall three meters away, stepped on the landing point, and then opened its fangs and bit the ibex's neck fiercely. It was a fatal blow. The fangs penetrated deeply into the ibex's flesh, and blood splattered immediately.
There were drops of blood on Los's face and eyes, and warm blood flowed down his fangs. Perhaps he was too lazy to struggle with the ibex, so he quickly tilted his neck back and tore open the wound on the ibex's neck. Blood spurted out, and the ibex just trembled violently for a few times before it was completely dead.
Xu Nian looked at Los expectantly, and immediately moved closer, looking at the wound on the ibex's neck with a bit of envy. He was trying hard to learn Los's hunting skills and trying his best to imitate him.
"Practice for two more days and you will recover your previous hunting skills." Los did not doubt Xu Nian's words that his hunting skills had regressed, because usually when snow leopards were seriously injured, if they rested for a long time, their skills would indeed degenerate when they went hunting large prey again. He just regretted that he had forgotten this and licked Xu Nian guiltily.
However, this scene fell into the eyes of two snow leopards on the rocks on the side of the mountain. One of them had a stern face and seemed a little bit unbelievable. It frowned, turned its head to look at Kaie beside it, and asked, "My stupid brother?"
Kaier had obviously been beaten up, and the whole snow leopard looked a little sloppy and nodded vigorously.
"...Who is next to it?" Luo Yin asked again.
Kaie was a little surprised at first. After all, Xu Nian said that Luo Yin had lived with him for a long time. However, looking at Luo Yin's appearance, it didn't seem like he recognized Xu Nian.
But it looked at Xu Nian again and thought about the thin and pitiful appearance of Xu Nian it saw a month or two ago. Now this Xu Nian with smooth fur and a furry appearance was indeed very different from before.
"It..." Kai'e wanted to say that this was Xu Nian, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered what Xu Nian had said seriously when they were exchanging secrets before. He immediately shut up and changed the words: "That's a male snow leopard, you don't know it, you don't know it..."
Kai'e repeatedly emphasized "you don't know him", which made Luo Yin feel a little puzzled. He glanced at Kai'e sideways, and he immediately lowered his head guiltily. The place where he was beaten was still painful, but he dared not say anything. He could only lament that he was so miserable that he was beaten by Luo Yin in the middle of the night and his nest was occupied.
It has always felt that the two brothers Luo Yin and Los have problems, and now it feels that these problems are quite serious!
Fortunately, Luo Yin didn't take the snow leopard following Los seriously. The other party's stupid appearance was comparable to its useless brother. From the back, it was just a fluffy snow leopard, nothing special.
Luo Yin was worried that the attack at this moment would easily become a two-on-one situation, which would be disadvantageous to it, so he simply gave up the attack plan and turned away.
Kaier looked at Luo Yin's back and finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of Xu Nian's words in his mind -
"I know a secret about Los, let me exchange information with you."
"Los likes me, and Luo Yin likes me too. I used to be with Luo Yin, and now I'm with Los. But the problem is, Los doesn't know that Luo Yin and I were together, and Luo Yin doesn't know that I'm with Los now."
"Kaye, now that you know this shocking secret, you must remember that you are the only snow leopard who knows everything. If you ever meet Luo Yin, tell him that Los and I are here. Be careful. Knowing so many of their secrets will easily lead to your death."
Kaier spent the entire night thinking about this complicated relationship. When he finally figured it out, he took a deep breath.
For a moment, it actually didn't want to know the secret.
"No, we can't stay here any longer." Kaier came down the mountain with his tail in his mouth. He looked back at his now-occupied nest and shook his furry head. "Saving my life is the most important thing."
Xu Nian used a combination of coaxing and deception to control this timid, cowardly and fragile snow leopard, and ensured that Kai'e would never mention himself in front of Luo Yin.
