Jiang Yan also noticed that Xu Ning was getting bored recently, so he suggested going hunting in the nearby mountains first, and then accompanying her to visit Qicheng when he came back.
Xu Ning nodded in agreement. As long as Jiang Yan didn't force her to cook, she would do whatever she wanted.
There is a high mountain nearby with snow on the top that never melts all year round. I heard that snow wolves have appeared on the mountain.
Jiang Yan planned to hunt a few for Xu Ning to make a cloak, so he decided to hunt near that mountain.
The two men made preparations and rode up the mountain with a dozen other people.
Because the journey was long and it would take more than a day to go back and forth, we brought a tent and stayed overnight halfway up the mountain.
It was freezing cold in the snow and ice. Xu Ning lay on his blanket in the middle of the night, feeling uneasy and unable to sleep. He could vaguely hear the calls of birds or cats.
Jiang Yan opened his eyes in the darkness, obviously having heard the sound.
The night watchmen were alert the entire time, and upon hearing the noise, they called out to the others. Xuemei had originally intended to call the masters, but upon noticing the noise coming from the master's tent, she joined the others in guarding the master's tent.
"Jiang Shaoheng, is there something approaching outside?" Xu Ning asked Jiang Yan, and also asked the treasure box in his mind.
Jiang Yan guessed: "It should be a snow leopard."
The treasure box also gave this answer.
The treasure chest also gave Xu Ning some scientific knowledge. The cry of a small snow leopard is like that of a bird, while the cry of an adult snow leopard is like that of a cat, so Xu Ning heard a sound that sounded like both a cat and a bird just now.
It is likely that the big snow leopard is taking the little snow leopard to hunt.
Snow leopards are nocturnal, hunting and active during the early morning and evening hours. They are agile, alert, and nimble, capable of leaping from cliffs 3-4 meters high. They rarely come out during the day, sometimes lying on bare mountain rocks to bask in the sun. They follow specific routes for ascending and descending mountains, preferring to follow ridges and valleys, often following well-trodden trails.
"Be careful, cats are very good at sneak attacks, everyone please be careful!" Xu Ning was a little nervous when he heard that it was the legendary big cat coming. It was snowy and dark everywhere, so it was easy for people to be dazzled and tricked.
Sure enough, the next second a secret guard was injured.
Fortunately, everyone was gathered together, and the injured secret guard was only slightly injured. However, there was no time to bandage him, so he was put on alert again.
Xu Ning exchanged a pair of thermal imaging glasses with the treasure chest and gave them to Jiang Yan. "Take this with you and you can find them all."
Xu Ning taught Jiang Yan how to look at it, and Jiang Yan immediately knew how to operate it.
In the end, Jiang Yan didn't even leave the tent. Based on the thermal imaging he saw, he commanded the secret guards to kill all the snow leopards that could not understand human language.
"Master, the snow leopards have been dealt with." The secret guard reported outside the tent.
"Very good, pack up and go have a rest." Jiang Yan took off the thermal imaging glasses and handed them back to Xu Ning.
Xu Ning understood and put it back into the space.
The next morning, seeing a pile of gray-spotted snow leopard skins, Xu Ning thought about making some boots and gloves for his family.
Xu Ning asked Jiang Yan, and Jiang Yan said, "Aning, you make the decision."
But we did kill a few leopards along the way.
He did not forget the purpose of his coming out, which was to fight the snow wolf.
In the second half of last night, no snow wolves showed up smelling blood. It was probably because the area nearby was the territory of snow leopards, or it was possible that snow wolves were more cunning. Therefore, during the day, Jiang Yan asked people to skin the snow leopards, separate the snow leopard meat and throw it away from the tent to set a trap.
At dusk, a group of people were having dinner around a fire when a group of snow wolves quietly surrounded them not far away.
