Chapter 87 Trap Xu Nian: Go away, go away!
"Xu Nian!"
Los was extremely shocked when he saw Xu Nian rushing towards him. He had never expected Xu Nian to run back. Angry and worried, he almost immediately gave up fighting with the wolf king and ran towards Xu Nian. He heard Xu Nian yelling, "Run! Run with me! They're going to hit me!"
Xu Nian almost didn't need to point out who this "they" was referring to, because Los had guessed it. He jumped over the rock, ran quickly to Xu Nian's side, bit him, and used inertia to hold Xu Nian and throw him directly into the snow pile next to him, avoiding the heavy bite of the mastiff chasing him from behind.
At that critical moment, Xu Nian did not forget to stretch out his furry claws to trip the mastiff that was rushing towards him and wanted to bite him. When the mastiff wanted to stop, it was too late and rushed into the encirclement of the wolf pack.
When the two sides met, they were extremely jealous of each other, and no one dared to make the first move. They were in a stalemate for a while. After all, animals on both sides were injured. If they fought again at this moment, more casualties would not be a good thing for both of them. After all, they were not the only ones who came here. As the weather became worse and worse, many animals began to migrate towards this side. They could feel the pressure of survival gradually increasing.
Xu Nian was dragged by Los to the ground and rolled twice before getting up. He shook his head and shook off the snow on his body. He was a little dazed after falling. Los almost immediately came over and licked him, then checked Xu Nian's body, as if to check if Xu Nian was injured.
"I'm not injured, how about you?" Xu Nian asked quickly, "Where did you get hurt fighting them?"
Xu Nian saw blood dripping from Los's body, dripping down his fur. Even after they rolled around together just now, Xu Nian's body was stained with some of Los' blood. However, before Xu Nian could continue asking questions, Los came over and licked Xu Nian hard.
"Didn't I tell you to leave?" Los said nervously, "Why are you running back?"
Xu Niancai wasn't afraid of Los's questioning. He raised his tail and rubbed against Los's side, saying, "We are best friends. How could I possibly leave you behind?"
From a practical point of view, Xu Nian knew very well that if he left Los, even if he escaped the attack of the mastiffs and wolves this time, when the next blizzard came, no one would look for him in the blizzard, and no one would risk his life to save him from the wolves.
From an emotional point of view, Los is his best friend, a friend who depends on him for everything.
"Just friends?" Ross was obviously dissatisfied.
"What do you mean just friends? This is a very important relationship." Xu Nian quickly corrected.
When Los heard Xu Nian's words, he turned around to look at the mastiff and the wolf pack that were confronting each other. The other party was obviously also paying attention to him. Los turned his body sideways to block Xu Nian behind him, revealing his sharp fangs, obviously intending to protect Xu Nian to the end.
No one knew what method Xu Nian used to provoke the mastiff. The mastiff stared at Xu Nian, extremely angry.
In the current situation of three-party confrontation, no one can escape directly. Xu Nian's tail is shaking gently, and his eyes look left and right, trying to find an opportunity to escape with Los.
However, just as he stuck his head out from behind Los to see what was going on, he saw one of the mastiffs paying no attention to the wolves but staring at him. After noticing his head popping out, the mastiff barked angrily. Xu Nian immediately retreated behind Los and whispered, "Block me."
Los laughed angrily, but he still honestly turned his body to the side and stood in front of Xu Nian. He glanced back at the timid and cute Xu Nian, sighed deeply, and felt that he really had no way to deal with this snow leopard.
“Woof woof! Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!”
"Woof! Woof!"
"Woof!"
When several mastiffs were communicating with each other, although Xu Nian did not understand what they were saying, from the expression of the mastiff that kept staring at him, Xu Nian felt that it was probably not saying anything nice, especially since this mastiff only replied with one sentence very briefly.
Xu Nian felt that the shorter the roar and the dirtier the curse on the leopard, the worse it would definitely be.
But since they were of different species, he couldn't understand, so he pretended not to know at all. He gently wagged his tail and paid attention to the situation at the scene to prevent anyone from suddenly moving their claws. The wolves stared at them vigilantly and looked at each other.
They actually chose to retreat, which surprised Xu Nian. Los obviously didn't expect that the wolves would be the first to choose to retreat. Xu Nian always felt that something was wrong. He noticed that although the wolves retreated, the mastiffs moved forward because of the wolves' retreat. He suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Lure the enemy deep into our territory." This phrase instantly came to Xu Nian's mind. It must be said that wolves are very cunning hunters. They are good at hunting, and even better at setting traps, leading their prey into the traps they set. Xu Nian's tail drooped gently, not daring to underestimate the wisdom of these wild animals.
To be honest, maybe he is not as good as these animals in setting traps.
When the wolves retreated and the mastiffs advanced, Xu Nian and Los were left aside. It was obvious that the mastiffs wanted to seek revenge on the wolves more than attacking the snow leopards.
When the angry mastiff passed by Xu Nian, it did not forget to bark. Los subconsciously bared his teeth and growled. The mastiff was stunned for a moment, then walked away cursing again.
If it didn't have something important to do, it would probably turn around and fight with Los. After all, Xu Nian's guilty yet complacent look when hiding behind Los was really too disgusting.
Seeing that the other mastiffs were chasing the leader towards the direction of the wolf pack, Xu Nian's tail shook gently twice, then he quietly stretched his head and carefully watched their backs disappear from his sight. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Los was still standing there, but he was also looking at the direction where the wolves and mastiffs left, as if he was thinking about something. Then he felt a little sore in his tail again. He turned his head and saw Xu Nian biting his tail. As soon as Los turned around, Xu Nian immediately said, "Let's go, let's go."
Xu Nian didn't dare to speak too loudly, fearing that the wolves and mastiffs who hadn't run far away would hear him. He whispered, "Let's take advantage of this opportunity and run. Don't just watch the fun, and don't even think about joining in. The wolves definitely have no good intentions."
"..." Los glanced at Xu Nian who was whispering, nodded slightly, and added: "Actually, it's okay for you to talk. They can't understand us."
Xu Nian was silent for a moment, and in a panic, he forgot about it and spoke in a low voice out of habit.
The two snow leopards were not planning to stay here for long, especially Xu Nian. He hurriedly urged Los to go back. They walked on the snow one after the other. Xu Nian did not walk fast. He was sometimes in front of Los, and sometimes behind Los. Although he did not say anything, his eyes always stayed on Los, and he was obviously very worried about his injuries.
"What are you looking at?" How could Los not notice Xu Nian's restless movements? He turned his head and said, "Don't worry, it's just a superficial wound."
That being said, Xu Nian didn't quite believe it. He didn't forget that every time Los was injured, this wild snow leopard was unwilling to say a word. So even if Los said that his injury was not serious, Xu Nian was very careful and would come over to check on Los from time to time.
Los's paw was injured, so he would occasionally curl up his paw to walk. This was the most seriously injured part of his body, but fortunately, Los had a very good physical condition. Although it took some effort, he managed to crawl back to his nest.
It half-lay in its den, its tail wagging gently, then it casually wrapped itself around itself, lowering its head to lick its wounds. It heard sparse noises at the door, raised its head, and saw Xu Nian peeking in. Los said, "Come in and lie down."
Xu Nian lay down beside Los very skillfully, leaned over to look at Los' wound, and then imitated Los, rubbing Los clumsily, as if wanting to give him some comfort.
Ross tilted his head slightly, actively responding, and then asked, "I told you to run, but you came back. Don't you know you might be torn to pieces by them? They're a pack of wolves."
"I know." Xu Nian gently shook his tail and said, "But if I don't come back, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
"I'll be fine," Ross said.
"Even if you're okay, I'll still regret it." Xu Nian laughed and said, "Anyway, I'm back."
The two snow leopards looked at each other. Los' heart felt a little bulging, making him feel very strange. He subconsciously lowered his head to look, but only saw the furry belly hair. He looked at Xu Nian beside him in confusion, not understanding where this strange and sour feeling came from.
After thinking for a moment, it gently extended its tongue to lick the side of Xu Nian's face and said, "What did you say to them? Why are they so angry? Or did you do something?"
Los was really curious about what Xu Nian had done to anger the group of mastiffs to such an extent that they rushed over to fight Xu Nian, looking as if they wanted to tear Xu Nian to pieces.
Hearing this, Xu Nian's tail, which was casually hanging behind him, suddenly raised high, and his chin also raised up. He looked obviously a little proud. He moved closer to Los, and a malicious smile appeared on his furry face. Los turned his head slightly and became more and more interested in this good-looking snow leopard.
Then it heard Xu Nian say: "Me? I did something no dog could refuse."
Xu Nian gently wagged his tail and licked his furry paws in a pretentious manner.
