Chapter 51 Tail Tip Kaie: Brother, are you trying to scam me?
"Are you unhappy because the recent heavy snow has made hunting difficult?"
"Or was I not honest when I slept last night?"
"Or are you still holding a grudge against me for biting your tail?"
…
Los said that he was angry, so Xu Nian had to guess the reason why he was angry, but after thinking about it, he couldn't find the root cause. He could only see that Los's expression was getting uglier and uglier.
Finally, Xu Nian said helplessly, "There must be something I didn't expect. I'll say sorry first, and then you tell me, and I will definitely change it."
"Don't prick up your ears to listen to sounds at night." Ross glanced at him lightly and said, "You are not sleeping in the middle of the night and you are getting up to prick up your ears."
Xu Nian was startled and asked in surprise, "You knew? Were you awake at that time?"
"Yeah." Ross said, "I was originally asleep, but you crawled all over me and I woke up."
Xu Nian wanted to say that he didn't crawl around. He was quite guilty at the time and was afraid of waking Los up, so he didn't dare to move. Only his ears and tail were out of control. But maybe it was because of the tail that woke Los up. Xu Nian secretly decided that he must remember to hold that disobedient big tail in his mouth next time.
Two snow leopards were walking and talking to each other, with a vulture following them from a distance and landing on a rock wall not far away.
"It seems like there are fewer vultures recently." In the past, there would be a group of vultures here waiting for the snow leopards to hunt. After they finished hunting and eating the prey, the vultures would rush up to share the leftovers. But today, Xu Nian looked around several times and saw only one vulture following reluctantly, and it seemed to be thin and hungry.
"In snowy conditions like this, vultures flying too high can easily get into trouble, while flying too low can easily be attacked. Furthermore, the heavy snow obscures their vision, making hunting much more difficult." Los added as they walked, "They rely heavily on their vision to hunt, allowing them to accurately detect everything on the snowy mountains."
In the vulture's field of vision, nothing on the snow-capped mountains escapes its eyes.
Xu Nian nodded upon hearing this and followed closely behind Los. He would occasionally look up and glance around, appearing much more alert than usual, which made Los a little confused. He asked, "What are you looking at?"
"The wind and snow are so strong that I can't even see the road ahead. I'm afraid there are wolves or brown bears lying in ambush here." Xu Nian said honestly, "I need to look more carefully."
Hearing this, Los wiggled his tail gently and said calmly, "No, they don't want to hunt snow leopards here. After all, there's a high probability that not only will they fail to hunt, but they might also get hurt."
Although the snow leopard travels alone, it does have this ability.
Although they may not be able to defeat wolves and brown bears, it is not difficult to escape from them. The snow leopard's agile body is unmatched by other animals. It not only allows them to walk between cliffs as if it were flat ground, but also allows them to save their lives from being surrounded by wolves.
Suddenly, Los seemed to remember something. He looked at Xu Nian again and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Xu Nian suddenly felt guilty for a moment. He didn't really want to look for anyone, but he remembered that Luo Yin was still nearby, so he wanted to observe his surroundings more carefully. After all, his sense of smell was almost useless now.
He just wanted to take Los away immediately the moment he discovered Luo Yin, avoid Luo Yin and save his life.
However, just as Xu Nian shook his head, his gaze suddenly paused. In the wind and snow, he seemed to see the figure of a snow leopard, but the other party was hurriedly leaving with its tail in its mouth, so it did not notice this side.
Xu Nian's expression changed obviously, and Los noticed it immediately. Just as he was about to turn his head to follow Xu Nian's gaze, his body suddenly felt heavy and he was almost knocked off balance by Xu Nian.
"What are you doing!" Los said angrily.
"No... I just slipped a little. It's snowing, after all, so it's easy to slip." Xu Nian immediately leaned over and rubbed against Los, saying in a soothing manner, "Let's go quickly, the snow is getting heavier."
In the heavy snow, Xu Nian nudged Los with a look of dependence, almost hugging his front paws. He tilted his furry head slightly and urged, "Let's go."
Los was silent for a moment, then he looked down at Xu Nian hugging his front paws, sighed and said, "Let's go."
Xu Nian quickly released his claws and immediately walked in the opposite direction of the snow leopard he had just seen, and his speed was unprecedentedly fast. Los behind him raised his eyebrows slightly and took a deep look at the snow leopard in front of him.
"Let's go." Xu Nian walked quite fast, not like he was hunting, but rather like he was in a hurry. He turned his head and saw that Los had not caught up yet, so he squatted down, shook off the snow on his body, and urged: "Let's hurry up."
His tail was swishing rapidly behind him, and his eyes were always looking around intentionally or unintentionally, looking very alert.
No matter how many questions Los had, seeing Xu Nian's expression, he could only sigh and temporarily suppress his confusion. After all, although the snow leopard in front of him seemed to be hiding something from him, it was just a furry snow leopard. How bad could it be? What bad things could it do?
Thinking of this, Los immediately raised his claws and followed.
After hunting, the two snow leopards returned to their den with the prey in their mouths. However, Xu Nian was quietly observing his surroundings while walking. Los, who was walking in front, was not unaware of it. He glanced at Xu Nian lightly and saw that the other party was sneaky and thought he was hiding well.
Los's tail swung gently behind him, keeping his body stable. He walked steadily between the rocks on the mountain wall, and his claws were very stable. He reminded the absent-minded snow leopard behind him, "Watch your claws, don't slip again."
It was obvious that it remembered that Xu Nian had suddenly bumped into it before. It didn't believe that Xu Nian could slip on such thick snow. The thickness of the snow was almost enough to bury them, the snow leopards. When they walked, it was as if they were stuck in the snow. Every time they landed their claws, it was very stable and there was no way they would slip.
Los sneered in his heart at such a lame lie, and was too lazy to expose it. Anyway, he knew it clearly in his heart.
After hearing what Los said, Xu Nian immediately restrained his expression, raised his paw and followed Los.
Los was the first to climb up. He put down the prey in his mouth, squatted down and licked his paws casually. When he looked back, he naturally saw Xu Nian climbing up.
Los looked at the other party's furry claws hugging the rock wall in front, and its hind paws trying to climb up. His eyes darkened slightly, and he turned his head and looked at his tail. The tail seemed to have noticed Los's gaze and shook unwillingly.
"Should we do it?" Los seemed a little hesitant, and murmured in a low voice: "Should we do it..."
It rarely felt so conflicted, but when it saw Xu Nian's erect furry ears again, it immediately determined its plan. It sat on the path that it had to take to climb up, and its tail seemed to fall to the side unintentionally.
The snow leopard's tail is furry and hidden in the snow. It will be overlooked if you don't look carefully. Los looked at the claw marks on the side and knew that if Xu Nian climbed up, if he calculated the angle correctly, he would step on some of its tail hair.
By then...
By then...
Los thought for a long time, then lowered his head and licked his paws, muttering softly, "I didn't say to let him go once his tail is healed. I said he should apologize to my tail, but my tail hasn't forgiven him yet."
This wild snow leopard convinced itself with the most clumsy lie.
It had been thinking about this move for the entire night.
Hearing the movement behind him getting closer, Los immediately turned around, as if he had not noticed anything. He lowered his head and licked his paws, sides, and fangs, as if he was completely unaware that his tail was placed in the place where it was necessary to climb the mountain.
So when a claw touched Los's tail, Los knew that the trick worked, but soon he felt a sharp pain in his tail, and the pain almost made the hair on his body explode. He turned his head suddenly, but saw not Xu Nian, but Kaie.
The two snow leopards looked at each other suddenly. Kaie was looking at Los in shock. The other party's fur suddenly stood up, which made Kaie feel that a disaster was about to happen, so he also stood up.
"You—" Los gritted his teeth and said, "Let go of your claws!"
Kaier then noticed that his paw seemed to be pressing on something, and he immediately raised his furry paw. Los immediately retracted his tail, kicked Kaier with his paw, then held his tail and licked it anxiously. He checked his tail from top to bottom and licked his tail very anxiously.
Seeing that things were going badly, Kaie immediately ran away after being clawed. He just wanted to find Xu Nian to talk to something, but he didn't expect to encounter Los who was trying to scam him.
"...You..." Xu Nian stretched out his furry head. He looked at the whole scene, looking a little confused at Los who was licking his tail anxiously, then at Kaie who was running away, and asked cautiously, "Is your tail... okay?"
Los gritted his teeth and turned around, and saw Xu Nian with a concerned look on his face. He hugged his tail and said nothing.
Xu Nian took the initiative to move over and take a look at Los's tail. The tail was slightly swollen. He guessed that Kaie's claw had stepped on it quite firmly, but Xu Nian was also puzzled as to why Los placed his tail in that position. It was too easy to be stepped on, which was very unlike Los' cautious character.
At night, the two snow leopards slept close together. Los wanted to put his tail on Xu Nian's waist and abdomen as usual, but he shuddered in pain and put it down. In the middle of the night, Xu Nian seemed to be a little cold, and subconsciously closed his eyes and curled up.
Los leaned over and licked it, then reluctantly put his tail on Xu Nian's waist and abdomen again, rubbing it gently.
However, when it was dawn, Los felt his tail was a little itchy. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Xu Nian had woken up at some point. He was lying motionless on his side in Los' arms, gently blowing on the tip of his tail.
The swollen and painful tail seemed to have gotten much better. Los didn't say anything, pretending that he hadn't woken up yet. Looking at Xu Nian gently blowing the tip of his tail, his eyes softened instantly and he looked at Xu Nian intently.
But it pretended to be asleep, but the tip of its tail was slightly puffed up.
