Chapter 66: Xu Nian: Wait until my injury is healed...
"Eat this blue sheep. This blue sheep is delicious."
"And this marmot."
"Can't move? Then I'll tear the hind leg meat into pieces for you."
…
Xu Nian watched as the wild snow leopard in front of him lowered its head, grasped the prey's body with its furry claws, and then pierced its fangs deeply into the prey's hind legs and tore them apart with force. Blood immediately spurted out, and Xu Nian was unable to dodge in time, and was splashed with blood on his face. Before he could move, the other party had already placed the torn hind leg meat in front of Xu Nian.
This kind of life where food is always provided for you is simply heaven. Xu Nian feels that he has almost reached the peak of his snow leopard career. There should be no other snow leopard living a more comfortable life than him.
For example, a snow leopard that looks a little sneaky.
Kaie looked at the mountain goats in front of Xu Nian with some envy and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that Los was definitely top-notch in terms of strength to be able to catch so many prey in such a season.
It's not just a matter of strength and luck, but more often it depends on courage. If you're not careful, you run the risk of getting hurt, and you even have to compete with other hunters, such as wolves.
But when Kaie noticed the wounds on Xu Nian's body and the other's rough fur, he felt that this kind of life seemed to come at a painful price.
"But it seems I can still bear it." Kaie thought carefully.
Before Kaie could come to his senses, he heard Los's angry voice coming from the cave: "You recognized me by the wound on my abdomen?! You also went to see Luo Yin's belly?!"
The sound was quite loud, and Kaie was startled. He flew up and hid behind a nearby rock. Then he poked his furry head out, looked carefully into the cave, and sighed deeply.
"Forget it." Kaie shook his head and lay down in the snow. He sighed deeply, "I really can't stand Los's temper. It's too bad. It's really too bad."
As soon as the voice fell, it saw Los coming out of the cave, and it immediately kept silent.
However, any leftovers from Xu Nian would usually be given to Kaier, and Kaier suddenly felt a little confident about the future.
"Loss has gone out, probably to patrol the surrounding area to see if there are other snow leopards, such as Luo Yin." Kaie came close to Xu Nian and looked at the injuries on his body. It seemed that the injuries were serious, but after Loss' careful care over the past few days, Xu Nian was able to support his body and move around in a small area.
Los didn't let him run too far. Lost Xu Nian before had left some psychological trauma on this wild snow leopard.
"..." Xu Nian was chewing on some meat when he heard this. He turned his head and looked at Kaie. He glanced around and made sure that Los hadn't returned before he whispered, "Didn't you see Luo Yin when you found me?"
Xu Nian was not sure whether Luo Yin and Los had met. If the two brothers had met, Xu Nian’s lies would be self-defeating, and the whole story would be exposed.
But he couldn't ask Los directly about this, so he tried asking him indirectly before, but the snow leopard seemed to have eaten gunpowder. When it heard Luo Yin's name, its whole body exploded into a furry appearance, and it flicked its tail and ran away.
Xu Nian really felt that Los's temper seemed to be even more irritable than before.
But it is much better than Luo Yin. It is true that one leopard cannot be compared with another.
"Luo Yin?" Kaie thought for a moment, his eyes turning slightly, as if he was planning something. Xu Nian didn't care after seeing it. Although Kaie was very shrewd, he couldn't figure it out anyway. He just shook his tail gently, waiting for Luo Yin's answer.
Kaie shook his head after a moment and said, "We didn't find Luo Yin, but we did find the body of a brown bear. However, there was a pool of blood next to the body. At first, we thought it was yours."
"It is indeed mine. That is where I fell. Then I kept the last bit of consciousness and crawled to the side." Xu Nian sighed. After all, the group of vultures that landed on the brown bear was really scary. They seemed to be surrounding Xu Nian, waiting for his death, and even looking forward to sharing his body after his death.
"You fell like that, and you can still crawl?" Kaie was shocked.
Glancing at the snow leopard's surprised eyes, Xu Nian nodded calmly and said in a serious tone, "Yes, I am strong."
Kaier tilted his head slightly, looked Xu Nian up and down, and then said, "We didn't see Luo Yin, but you smelled strongly of Luo Yin. You were very close, weren't you?"
Xu Nian thought about it and realized that they were indeed very close, because Luo Yin used him to block the wind and snow at the entrance of the cave.
When he thought of this, he looked at how Los had shielded him from the wind and snow, and sighed again from the bottom of his heart that snow leopards were indeed different from each other.
"Not close, just touched it." Xu Nian licked his paw. He didn't dare to say anything nonsense in front of Kai'e, lest he dig a hole for himself. Then he lay down and said, "Then I was unconscious for such a long time, and there is no trace of Luo Yin around?"
"Not yet. Anyway, I haven't found it. Do you really want to hear about it?" Kaie asked.
Just as Xu Nian was about to answer, the sound of a branch snapping suddenly rang out outside. Xu Nian's tail immediately lifted up, and he said quickly, "No, no, I just saw it take a few steps forward when it fell, so I didn't know if it fell with me, so I asked by the way."
There was no movement outside, but Xu Nian didn't dare to say anything. He would glance outside the cave from time to time. Kaie asked, "What are you looking at?"
"See if Los has returned." Xu Nian said in a low voice, "I used to think that leaving Los and leaving Luo Yin felt the same. But after this incident, I realized that Los and Luo Yin hold different positions in my heart."
"?" Kaie tilted his head in confusion and said, "What's the difference? They look similar, their fighting power is similar, and their body shapes are similar. The worst that can happen is that Los has a bad temper and Luo Yin has a bad memory."
Xu Nian laughed, his eyes full of smiles. His beautiful eyes made Kaier subconsciously take a second look. Then he heard Xu Nian say word by word very obediently, "Of course it's different. I don't feel used to leaving Luoyin, but after not seeing Luoyin for a long time, I've let it go. After all, as you said, snow leopards live alone, and I need to get used to being alone."
He paused, cleared his throat, and listened to the subtle crunch of claws on the snow outside. He spoke more firmly, "But Los is different. These past few days without him, I can only tell you, I've been living a life worse than death. I miss him so much that my heart is broken. I feel that without Los, my life will be bleak. I might as well be buried in that avalanche."
Xu Nian thought to himself that this didn't count, he couldn't keep his oath, he was just talking nonsense.
However, these words shocked not only Kaier, but also a snow leopard lying on a rock outside with its ears pricked up to eavesdrop. Kaier shuddered subconsciously.
It went out in a daze and crawled in the snow to calm down. As soon as it raised its head, it flew up on all fours and looked in shock at a Los who was also lying on a rock to calm down.
Just as it was about to ask Los why he was here, it saw the other party's cold eyes and immediately moved away.
"I...actually, I have to find prey on my own." Kaie walked into the dense forest with his belly bulging and his tail biting, muttering to himself as he walked, "Yes, I have to find some prey."
After saying that, they walked faster and faster. When they reached the slope in front, they all started running, trying to quickly get away from this place of trouble.
Two snowy owls landed on a branch that was bent by the heavy snow, and some were even broken. The snowy owl gently spread one of its wings, turned its head and pecked at its feathers to clean its body, then continued to look around.
It set its gaze on a cave. A snow leopard was lying on the top of the cave rock wall, with its tail raised high behind it, almost turning over, and the tip of its tail even trembled slightly.
And below the rock wall, a furry snow leopard quietly showed its head, its ears trembling slightly, lowered slightly backward, looking outside cautiously, and then found a comfortable place to lie down. There were two furry snow leopards, one above and one below. The one below could only see the furry head exposed, and from time to time it raised its claws to scratch its face.
"Los." Xu Nian suddenly spoke.
No one responded to him.
"Los, your tail fell off, I saw your tail." Xu Nian said again.
"Nonsense." Los turned his head and looked at his tail that was raised high. He realized that he had been deceived by Xu Nian. He snorted and jumped off the rock. He even stepped on the rock wall on the side with his claws. The whole snow leopard jumped down sideways and landed steadily on the snow. He even shook his tail boredly, looking very relaxed.
"..." Xu Nian looked at Los, whose face was full of indifference but whose whole body was almost as beautiful as a peacock spreading its tail tail. He couldn't help but be silent for a moment, and was sure that the snow leopard in front of him was definitely Los, without even looking at the wound on his stomach.
"What do you want me to do?" Los saw that Xu Nian didn't speak. He took a step forward reluctantly, nudged Xu Nian, and said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly."
"I'll be scared if I can't see you," Xu Nian said.
Only Xu Nian himself knows how much truth and how much falsehood are in these words.
But it is undeniable that after leaving Los, Xu Nian felt that his survival was really a problem. After all, he was only a half-human snow leopard now. He had not yet learned all the hunting skills, and did not know how to save his life.
More importantly, Los felt safe and cared about him.
"...What are you afraid of?" Los's furry ears twitched. He chuckled softly after hearing something he liked. Although he seemed reluctant, he actually walked towards Xu Nian very honestly and lay down beside him. His tail was skillfully draped over Xu Nian's body. He said, "I'm right beside you. I won't be too far away."
"Got it? I treat you the best." Ross added, "At least much better than Luo Yin."
Los's tone was very calm, as if he really had no selfish motives at all.
"When my injury gets better, let's migrate with the prey." Xu Nian glanced at the snow-capped mountains. During this period, the wolves had made fewer noises, and it was obvious that they were preparing to leave.
There is too little prey, so they have to migrate in order to survive.
