Chapter 79: Praising each other Xu Nian: Praising Mao Rongrong!
"There are humans here. They raise sheep and yaks, which are delicious. But they are scary, so I generally don't go hunting where they live."
"They have something in their hands. It's scary. I've seen people of the same kind die before."
"They also raised those dogs, but that was in the past. Now, something seems to have gone wrong. I don't know what it is, but I only know that the humans left and the dogs stayed."
At this point, the snow leopard paused and added, "They used to be fed by humans, so they didn't have to compete with us for prey. Now that humans are gone, they'll start competing with us for prey. You'd better be careful... They'll attack in large numbers."
、
This was almost the same as what Xu Nian said. Los' eyes darkened slightly. He didn't say anything, but he remembered everything Mu He said. But compared to this, Los was more curious about why Xu Nian knew all this.
For example, knowing dogs means knowing what humans are.
It glanced at Xu Nian beside it. Xu Nian was still struggling to climb the mountain. His tail swept from time to time, and he raised his paw to test the thickness of the snow. He was unfamiliar with this place. Although it was not as steep as where he lived before, it was still very difficult to climb. He was always worried that he would step on empty air with one paw.
After all, he had stepped on empty air so many times that he was almost falling down.
Los simply walked along the rock wall, always paying attention to Xu Nian's movements to prevent him from falling off the rock wall. Fortunately, although Xu Nian walked with difficulty, he was very cautious and arrived at the place Mu He said without any danger.
This place is indeed a good place for snow leopards. It is located at a high altitude and surrounded by steep cliffs. It is not easy for other wild animals to climb up. Los asked in confusion: "If this place is so good, why don't you bring your cub here?"
Los looked at Mu He with some suspicion, never letting down his guard. Mu He turned his head and said, "This used to be my nest, but other people of the same species often took advantage of it. Later, I brought my cubs with me, so it was difficult to fight them. Besides, the terrain here is too high, and my cubs are too young to climb up now."
"Other of the same kind?" Los was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and immediately moved over to sniff.
"That snow leopard won't come back." Mu He said calmly, "It's dead. I told you before, it was beaten by humans, then chased by those dogs and mauled to death."
Hearing this, Xu Nian turned his head and looked at Los. After they exchanged glances, Xu Nian asked, "Why did humans attack it?"
"I couldn't find anything to eat, so I stole sheep from humans. I did this several times. At first, I was driven away, and then, perhaps because I ate too much, I was beaten." This was normal for Mu He. He licked his paws, wagging his tail gently, and said, "Now the humans have left."
Xu Nian remembered that he had heard that herders' sheep would be taken away and eaten by snow leopards. Those sheep were the herders' property, even their lives. A family's livelihood almost entirely depended on the sheep.
Xu Nian had been a human before and knew that life was not easy. Now he was also a snow leopard and knew that survival was not easy. When he thought about it carefully, both of them seemed to have their own reasons. It was hard to tell who was right or wrong. He lowered his head and licked his paws. This subconscious action made him suddenly realize how long it had been since he had dreamed of being a human.
"What's wrong?" Realizing that the snow leopard beside him was a little depressed, Los immediately turned his head to look at it, rubbed Xu Nian very skillfully, and said, "Don't you like it here?"
"No, it's not." Strictly speaking, this is a good place. Xu Nian also knows that it is difficult to find a nest. He immediately said: "This place is good. I was just thinking about the group of mastiffs."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Los mistakenly thought that Xu Nian was afraid of the group of mastiffs, so he leaned over and gently licked the side of Xu Nian's face, giving Xu Nian a sense of security.
Xu Nianhui rubbed Los.
Mu He on the side was a little stunned. He didn't expect that the relationship between the two male snow leopards could be so close. After all, they were competitors. But when he thought about it, they were just two male snow leopards, and they might as well be brothers.
It's rare for people to live together in extremely harsh environments, but...it should still exist.
Mu He didn't care about this. He led Los and Xu Nian to this place, which at least eliminated the possibility that Los would steal his nest. Mu He breathed a sigh of relief.
It did not plan to stay here for long, nor did it plan to have any interaction with the two snow leopards in the future. It would be best for them to hunt on their own and never meet again.
"Oh right." As Mu He was about to leave, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "I told you, this is a great location for any snow leopard, so... maybe the snow leopard that came here last year will come back this year."
"Last year? Here?" Los heard this and just glanced at Mu He casually, not taking it to heart. He flicked his tail and said, "Hmm."
Mu He then turned and ran away with his tail in his mouth.
At this moment, on the distant hillside, a blue sheep was grazing with its head down. It had finally dug out some dry grass from under the snow, put its head in and tried to eat it, but its stomach was almost bursting with hunger.
There was also a snow leopard half-lying on the rock wall, and its stomach was almost bursting with hunger. It had been waiting for a long time, and if it couldn't get any prey, it would starve to death.
Its furry claws dug hard at the rock wall, and it lowered its body to hide its shape with the rock wall and snow. It stared at the ibex that was grazing without blinking. After making sure that the ibex was focused on eating the grass, it raised its claws and cautiously explored forward.
Its footsteps were so light that there was almost no sound as it stepped on the snow.
A magpie landed in front of Kaie. Although it did not do anything, it attracted the attention of the ibex. Kaie's pupils suddenly constricted, and he realized that something was wrong.
It had no time to teach the bad magpie a lesson, and almost immediately chased the blue sheep. The blue sheep immediately turned around and ran, but the two sides were already very close. After a thrilling chase, Kaie finally had his first meal of blue sheep in the past few days at the cost of biting the blue sheep and rolling down the rock wall.
Kai'e ate with gnashing teeth, wishing he hated the entire magpie population.
"I told you birds are the most annoying thing," Kaie cursed as he ate. "There's nothing more annoying than birds!"
It licked its furry paws and looked into the distance again. Further ahead was where the blue sheep gathered. It was simply a natural granary. Not only were there wild blue sheep, but there was also a pen with many sheep, which were simply delicious.
It gently shook its tail and stood there thinking about which direction it should go. It remembered that it had found a very good nest, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was on the rock wall and was simply its own exclusive cave.
After determining the location, Kaie took a confident step towards his old nest from last year.
…
"This place is very similar to where we lived before." Xu Nian looked around and was very satisfied with the place. He imitated Los and rubbed against the rock wall, leaving his own breath.
Los was half lying on the snow, watching Xu Nian's actions intently, with a smile in his eyes and his tail wagging happily.
This place is really great, it can accommodate two snow leopards lying in the cave and sleeping together.
"Let's go catch sheep together later." Xu Nian came to Los's side. There was still a thin layer of snow on his fur. After rubbing against Los, the snow on his body was wiped clean. He licked Los hard. Looking at the other party's half-closed eyes, he knew that Los was in a good mood at the moment. He said, "Catch two!"
They have been running around all the time and have no time to recuperate. Xu Nian wants to catch two sheep so that they can have a good rest in the cave.
He and Los exchanged a glance, and Los immediately understood what Xu Nian was thinking. He nodded and said, "Okay, catch two."
Los stared at Xu Nian's face for a while. When Xu Nian was rubbing against it just now, a little dust got on his face. Los tilted his head slightly, then licked it and whispered, "It looks good."
Xu Nian's furry ears twitched and he turned his head to look at Los.
Is it good-looking to praise your brother?
Xu Nian thought for a moment, then leaned over and licked Los back, praising him sincerely, "You're handsome too."
Los is really handsome, so handsome that Xu Nian has remembered it for so many years since he first saw it on the surveillance camera.
