Chapter 148 Making Friends Xu Nian: It’s a dog
Los was not going to let Xu Nian take risks. In fact, he could handle this little thing by himself, but he was also worried about Kaie and Xu Nian being together, in case the talkative snow leopard said something to Xu Nian that he shouldn't.
Kaie gently shook his tail. He didn't realize what Los was thinking. Instead, he half-crouched down, his whole body tense, as if he could rush out immediately as long as Xu Nian gave the order.
The young and energetic mastiff had been trapped in the wolf pack's encirclement. The wolves were not in a hurry to attack directly, but were very cautious in narrowing the encirclement bit by bit, as if they wanted to force the mastiff to a certain point before attacking, or to break down the mastiff's psychological defenses and then suddenly strike, preventing the opponent from reacting and minimizing the risk of injury to the wolves.
Xu Nianban lay on the rock wall and watched the battle below. He was once again amazed by the wisdom of the wolves.
“Woof woof woof!”
The mastiff was obviously getting a little anxious. Its paws were constantly planted on the ground, and it looked very uneasy. Its tail was hanging down behind it, and its eyes were looking around vigilantly at the wolves that were gradually approaching it. The hair on its back was almost standing on end.
“Ouch!”
“Ooo ...
Several wolves howled, not as if they were sending any information, but as if they were deliberately provoking the mastiff, or deliberately trying to anger the other party and force it to reveal some flaws.
Although this mastiff was young and energetic, it would not become irritable easily. It kept retreating with its tail hanging down until it had nowhere to retreat. Then it would suddenly rush forward and bark a few times, trying to tear open the encirclement and break out. However, the wolves had also taken this into consideration, so the mastiff found that it had just driven away the wolves in front of it and was about to escape, but was soon stopped by the wolves around it.
After repeating this several times, the mastiff was a little tired. It lowered its head, its mind was a little anxious, and it looked left and right. The whole dog showed a feeling of being forced into a desperate situation.
Seeing this, the wolves thought that it was about time. They looked at each other and nodded slightly.
"Now is the time to start preparing." Xu Nian immediately squatted down and stood up. He stared at that place carefully, waiting for the wolves to move. Then he immediately raised his paws and tapped lightly, as if waiting for the mastiff to get into trouble.
In fact, the mastiff could be rescued now, but this is far less sincere than helping someone in need and touching the dog's heart. Xu Nian licked his paws. Since ancient times, tricks have been used to win people's hearts, and sincerity never deceives leopards.
"Woof woof!" The mastiff took the initiative to attack. It was already a little irritable and bit the wolves a few times. However, these wolves retreated immediately after biting it and did not intend to fight it head-on. It seemed that they wanted to kill the dog directly and did not want to suffer any injury.
The mastiff was extremely angry. When it was cornered, it bit both sides almost without any reason and made angry barking sounds.
Just when it thought its life was about to end here, it suddenly heard a meow from a distance. The sound sounded familiar, but it couldn't remember where it was at the moment.
But before it could think carefully, the wolf in front of it pounced on it again. This time it fought back immediately, but it didn't expect to fall into the trap of the wolf behind it. The cunning wolf had circled around behind it and knocked it to the ground.
After the mastiff realized that something was wrong, it started to bite both sides indiscriminately. Even so, it was already defeated and was bitten several times by the wolves. It screamed in pain until a figure flew over its head and stood in front of it, blocking the wolves.
This made the wolves that were about to come up to share the food of the mastiff stunned for a moment. They tilted their heads slightly, their eyes looking a little confused, as if they were a little dazzled by the sudden appearance of the snow leopard.
"Meow--" Kaie also rushed up and let out a roar that did not threaten other animals.
"Awooo--" The wolves immediately bared their fangs at Kaie and issued a warning, their eyes looking extremely ferocious.
Kaie: ...
No, it and Los both came up and roared, but why did the wolves only roar at it and not at Los? It felt that these wolves were particularly serious.
Los' eyes were calm. He stood in front of the mastiff and swept his eyes over the group of wolves. His tail swayed slightly behind him, revealing a little bit of his fangs.
The mastiff looked at it warily at first, but soon realized that the snow leopard was not here to attack it together. The mastiff relaxed a little, but still looked at Los and Kaie warily. Once it found something wrong, it would immediately move its claws or run away.
The wolves did not expect that there were two snow leopards here, and they did not expect that these two snow leopards would actually use their claws. The wolves looked at each other, as if they were thinking about whether to fight directly or give up.
Los's tail swung gently, his eyes were calm, and he turned slightly to the side, as if ready to attack. Finally, the wolves weighed the pros and cons, barked at each other a few times, and then retreated. It was obvious that they did not want to continue fighting.
They ran backwards, and the two wolves behind even stopped and looked at the mastiff behind them unwillingly. Finally, the wolf in front urged them, and they turned around unwillingly and continued running, returning to their territory.
With only two snow leopards and a wounded mastiff left, the mastiff became much more cautious. It raised its paws and tried to get up, but failed after several attempts. It could only look at Los and Kaie vigilantly, and would make low threatening sounds if the other party approached it.
"Look, I told you Xu Nian's method wouldn't work! Dogs are different. The one I encountered was a good dog, and this one is a bad one. Can the same method be used on it?" Kaie kept chattering beside him. "If you ask me, we still have to be careful. Otherwise, if it barks a few more times, the other mastiffs will come. That wouldn't be a good thing for us. What's more, it's injured, and we're the only ones here. With their brains, they might think that we caused the wounds on this mastiff. In my opinion, we should run away quickly."
Kai'e spoke with reason and logic, following Los' side. He wanted to leave, but with Los here, he didn't dare to leave first. He could only sigh and say, "It doesn't understand what we say, and we don't understand what it says either. If you ask me, just leave it alone. There's still plenty of prey now. We can talk about it in winter when prey is scarce."
Los didn't listen to Kai's words at all. He turned his head to look at Xu Nian walking towards him, and immediately went forward to rub the other's furry face. After licking it twice, he asked, "Why did you come down? Didn't I tell you to wait for me up there?"
"I saw the wolves had left, so I came down." Xu Nian knew that Los was worried about him, so he leaned over and responded to him. He tilted his head and rubbed against Los, and said obediently, "How are you?"
"It's not what I thought." Los turned his head to look at the mastiff. The other party was about to lick its fur, but when it saw that Los was looking at this side, it thought that Los wanted to fight, so it immediately stood up and half-crouched its body vigilantly, with fierce eyes, fangs exposed, and continuously making low growls.
This was indeed different from what he had expected. Xu Nian turned his head slightly and his eyes fell on the mastiff. Compared with other mastiffs, this mastiff was not very big, but its fur was well-maintained. The fact that it could still be kept so well while wandering around proved that this mastiff was quite strong and looked very young. He thought for a moment, then moved closer to Los and whispered, "It might not be different. Let's try again."
If they really can't convince the mastiff, then forget it. After all, this method is just a try.
However, even if this mastiff did not become friends with them, Xu Nian did not intend to kill it now. The look in the mastiff's eyes when it looked at him was not only fierce but also a little confused. It was obvious that it did not understand what these snow leopards were trying to do.
In fact, Xu Nian and the others were not talking quietly, they were just talking normally, but in the mind of the mastiff, it seemed as if they were plotting something. The mastiff's tail was stretched tightly, and its eyes sometimes fell on Los's face, sometimes looked at Xu Nian, and sometimes glanced at Kaie beside him.
"Hey." Kaier raised his paw and walked over. He didn't approach the mastiff, but just hovered nearby. He said, "I think there might be some hope. If it regarded us as enemies, it would have attacked by now. But right now, the mastiff is just very cautious. As long as we don't get close to it, it won't attack us."
The snow leopard Kaie has the most experience with mastiffs here. He gently shakes his tail behind him, and soon the long furry tail attracts the mastiff. However, he is not a cat and will not chase a tail. He controls his paws and turns his head to the side, refusing to look. Soon this method has no effect on the mastiff.
However, just when the mastiff felt that it had completely resisted the attraction of the snow leopard's tail, it was attracted by a larger, longer and furrier tail. It saw that the tail was slightly raised and the long tail was swaying from side to side, showing its good mood.
"Xu Nian." Kaie noticed this and immediately said, "Don't move. I feel..."
"Huh?" Xu Nian turned around in confusion, tilting his head slightly, as if he didn't understand why Kaie stopped him at this time. Ross quickly explained: "It has been staring at your tail. Maybe my tail is not as fluffy as yours."
Upon hearing this, Los calmly turned sideways to block Xu Nian's furry appearance.
