Chapter 67 Guilty Loslos: Shame on you
After the towering mountains were covered with thick snow, they experienced avalanches, and countless animals were buried under the snow. The remaining animals had to start migrating and leave their original habitats.
After the prey left, the predators naturally followed the prey. The mountains, which were noisy in the past, seemed much quieter. Since Xu Nian's injuries had not healed yet, they left later than other animals.
Xu Nian wanted to leave as early as possible, but Los took into consideration Xu Nian's staggering body. After thinking about it all night, he decided that it would be safer to postpone it for a few days.
"I envy you so much! You're a leopard raised by a leopard." Kaie asked humbly, "How did you do it?"
Xu Nian glanced at Kaie, seeing his eager eyes, and said earnestly, "Listen to me, wild animals must behave like wild animals."
"?" Kaie tilted his head, not quite understanding.
"I can do this, can you?" Xu Nian swiftly lay down on the ground, exposing his soft belly. He opened his furry paws, revealing the pads underneath. With a sincere look on his face, he asked, "Will you learn?"
Kaie was silent for a moment. He couldn't learn, absolutely couldn't. Dejected, he left the cave, holding his tail in his mouth. As he walked out the door, he bumped into Los, who was returning with his prey in his mouth. He shuddered and ran much faster than before, leaving Los puzzled. He flicked his tail lightly, looked at Xu Nian, and said, "What's wrong with that snow leopard?"
"I don't know." Xu Nian was half lying on the ground, gently shaking his tail and licking his paw pads. He looked obedient and sensible, and said, "It's such a big snowstorm, all the prey are gone, and you can still find a marmot? You are worthy of it!" Los snorted and threw the marmot on the ground with an indifferent look on his face, then half-lying beside Xu Nian, licking his messy fur, and glanced at Xu Nian.
By the way, he also went over to lick the other's fur and said, "I'm not a waste."
Kai'e, who was passing by, glanced at his hungry stomach and immediately lost his temper. He gritted his teeth and whispered, "I was just passing by. I just took a look at Xu Nian's stomach. Why are you saying such harsh words? That's too much!"
It feels like it can't stay here anymore!
Completely unaware that there was a snow leopard outside that had broken free from its defense, Los lay on his side beside Xu Nian with his eyes half closed. Perhaps because he had lost Xu Nian once, this time he watched Xu Nian particularly closely.
"Actually, my injuries have healed, and we can really go together." Xu Nian was still a little anxious. He wanted to stay away from Luo Yin, and it would be best not to let the two brothers Los and Luo Yin meet.
Xu Nian took the initiative to move closer to Los and rubbed against him. Los was obviously very pleased with Xu Nian's behavior. He gently raised his chin, very happy with Xu Nian's action, and licked him before saying, "No."
Xu Nian was still staggering when he walked yesterday. It had only been a short time, and such a serious injury would definitely require some time to heal. When Los thought of this, he gritted his teeth at Luo Yin and wished he could fight with him.
If you can't raise Xu Nian well, just give Xu Nian back to it, and it can raise Xu Nian well.
Hearing Los's refusal, Xu Nian was a little disappointed, but it was also expected. He gently turned his head and rubbed Los, then lay on the ground. After shaking his tail gently twice, his eyes fell on the distance and he sighed softly.
Los came over and licked Xu Nian's ear, then asked in a low voice, "Why do you want to leave here so much?"
Xu Nian had already figured out what kind of character Los was, so he immediately said, "There are too few prey here, and it's too hard for you to hunt. I feel sorry for you."
Los paused for a moment, then continued to lick Xu Nian. This time, his strength was noticeably stronger. There was a hint of a smile in his tone, and he felt a little better after being coaxed. His tail swayed slightly, and then landed on Xu Nian's abdomen. He said, "These are all minor issues. Once your injuries heal for a few more days, I'll take you away."
"Really?" Xu Nian raised his head and looked at Los. This sudden raise of his head almost hit Los' chin. He frowned slightly, subconsciously stepped back a little, and then lowered his eyes to see Xu Nian's beautiful eyes. Snow leopards' pupils are very beautiful, and Xu Nian is the most special among them, making Los unable to resist every time. When his eyes were fixed on a snow leopard, Los had the illusion that Xu Nian only had eyes for it.
It couldn't help but lower its head and gently licked the side of Xu Nian's face, and replied in a muffled voice: "Of course."
Usually, Los had an explosive temper, was very conflicted, and said one thing and meant another. It was rare for him to look so calm, which made Xu Nian subconsciously look at the other person's abdomen, fearing that Luo Yin would pretend to be Los to deceive him again.
Xu Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a faint scar on Los's abdomen covered with fur.
At night, the two snow leopards still hugged each other. In order to prevent Xu Nian from sleeping uncomfortably, Los even slightly arched his back, pressed against the cold rock wall, and gently licked Xu Nian.
The wind and snow were still blowing outside. Los hugged the snow leopard that he had lost and found again with an intimate look on his face, and from time to time he would look down at Xu Nian.
…
"Amazing." Xu Nian stood at the foot of the mountain, watching a blue sheep appear on the rock wall. This blue sheep was obviously alone. It was not strong, and could even be considered a little thin. It was obviously not full. It was lowering its head and digging the snow pile with its front hooves, trying to find some food from underneath.
But the snow was so thick that it was not easy to find some grass to eat.
However, in the eyes of the predators in the snow-capped mountains, it seemed particularly delicious. At least Kaie's saliva was almost dripping. He half-lay behind the rock, lowered his body, gently raised his claws, and moved his body gently towards the mountain goat. The sound of his claws landing on the snow was very light, and the speed was not very fast, but very steady.
After all, if we let this mountain goat run away, we don’t know when we will find the next one.
Xu Nian also wanted to join the hunt, but was rejected by Los without hesitation.
Xu Nian was forced to live a life of having food provided for him.
Although the ibex was dizzy and dazed from hunger, it did not lose its vigilance. On the contrary, it was the only ibex here, so it was obviously more cautious. At the slightest movement, it would immediately stop what it was doing, raise its head and look around to see if there was anything unusual.
Kai'e lay on the ground and dared not move. When the ibex lowered its head again, it quickened its pace and crawled over the top of the rock wall. Its tail was stretched tight behind it, controlling its body balance. Its furry ears were pressed back, and its whole body was tense to the extreme, as if it was ready to strike.
Sure enough, when the cautious ibex sensed something was wrong, it turned around and ran without even looking. Almost at the same time, Kaie immediately raised his paws and followed it, running behind it at an extremely fast speed along the steep snow-capped mountain wall. However, this ibex was able to survive alone until now, which showed that it was quite capable.
It did not walk in a straight line, but very boldly chose a steep rock wall where it was extremely difficult to land its hooves. After stepping on it, it fell several times and then continued to run away.
For the blue sheep, being caught by a snow leopard means death, and falling down also means death. It is a dead end anyway, so it is better to run for life, maybe there will be a glimmer of hope.
But Xu Nian was not in a hurry. He knew that the mountain goat could not escape today because there was still a snow leopard that had not appeared.
Los is the top predator of the entire hunt.
But Xu Nian couldn't find where the other party was hiding. He just followed the route of the mountain goat and looked. His claws felt itchy. If it weren't too badly injured and really needed to be well cared for, he would have wanted to chase it and hunt it directly.
The wild charm of running between the steep cliffs of the snow-capped mountains and chasing prey for survival is really irresistible to him, and it is difficult for any snow leopard to resist.
Kai'e didn't want to get hurt, so he slowed down, but maybe he did it on purpose.
But apparently, the ibex thought it had gotten rid of the snow leopard, and its attention was all on the snow leopard chasing it from behind. It did not notice that the snow leopard above its head had been waiting for it for a long time.
In fact, Los had been following the ibex as it moved, but his body was too hidden for the ibex to notice. Before the ibex could be happy that it had escaped, it was bitten on the neck. It struggled desperately and fell off the rock wall, but Los had no intention of letting go.
The cliffs were extremely steep. Los held the mountain goat tightly and fell down with it. Every time he slid and fell from a height of more than ten meters or even dozens of meters, he brought down layers of snow and stirred up snow mist.
Although Xu Nian knew that Los had superb hunting skills and that he often hunted like this, the fear of falling from such a high cliff lingered in his heart for a long time. His heart suddenly tightened and he immediately ran towards the place where Los fell.
Los fell very skillfully, using the ibex as a cushion almost every time. It looked scary, but in fact the injury was not serious. He fell to the ground with his prey. After getting up and shaking off the snow on his body, Los looked down at the ibex that had died. The ibex seemed to have died very unwillingly. Its eyes were wide open, but they were covered with a layer of gray mist representing death.
Los picked it up and walked towards the cave. No difficulty could stop his determination to raise it for many years.
The wild snow leopard held its prey in its mouth, looking like a victor returning from a battle, with its tail raised high behind it, and walked towards the cave, leaving behind a series of claw marks and a long drag mark of its prey on the snow.
Kai'e, who also participated in the hunt, was also very happy. He walked with a happy pace and was eager to eat meat. When he came down from the rock wall, Kai'e saw Xu Nian standing on a small slope not far away waiting for Los. Los just walked to the bottom of the slope. It seemed to feel it and raised its head to look at each other.
Xu Nian ran down the not-so-steep slope and bumped into Los's arms. He took the initiative to lick the blood of his prey from Los's body and said, "Fortunately, nothing's wrong."
After falling off the cliff, Xu Nian, who was already afraid of heights, became even more afraid of heights. However, he felt that overcoming the difficulties was only a matter of time, and he could always overcome it.
But seeing Los fall down, Xu Nian couldn't help but lean over and lick Los. His tail swept anxiously behind him, and he didn't even pay attention to the ibex. Los also didn't pay attention to the ibex. It instinctively licked Xu Nian back.
So in the end, it was Kaie who took the ibex back on his own initiative. He was always very active in this kind of thing, as it meant he could eat meat.
"I'm fine." Los noticed Xu Nian's nervousness and immediately whispered to comfort him, "You've seen me hunting many times. This is just a normal hunt. There's nothing dangerous."
Xu Nian's furry ears twitched slightly. He said nothing, but his eyes fell on Los's abdomen.
——Originally there was only one scar on the abdomen, but another scar appeared on it at some point, and it looked like it had only healed recently.
He looked up at Los without saying anything, but the always proud wild snow leopard noticed Xu Nian's gaze, followed his gaze, and a trace of visible panic immediately flashed across his eyes.
It's over, it's embarrassing, it just said hunting is just a small problem!
