Chapter 110 Mysterious Footprints
She stabbed the hole hard with the branch.
As Chu Qiao exerted more strength, more and more ice foam flew out of the small hole.
Half an hour later, with a "pop", the small hole was finally pierced. Chu Qiao put her hand into the hole, reaching up to her upper arm, and then she touched the icy lake water under the ice.
Chu Qiao rolled up his sleeves and said, "This hole is too small. It's not good enough for fishing. I need to widen it."
As she spoke, Chu Qiao used a shovel to dig the ice hole wider little by little until it was about 30 centimeters in diameter, then she stopped.
Chu Qiao pulled out the metal wires from the parachute and bent them into small hooks.
"Master Chu is a professional at fishing, I can prove it."
"Brother above, don't flatter yourself. Everyone can prove it."
"That's not right. Why did Master Chu make so many hooks?"
"There's only one hole, how many fishing rods are you going to put in there?"
"Won't there be a fight if there are too many fish in the tank?"
Chu Qiao smiled and said, "This is different from fishing in the sea. The fish under the ice must be very hungry. They will swarm over when they see food. As long as I spread enough bait, I won't be afraid of not catching them."
Chu Qiao tied many fish hooks to a thin rope.
Chu Qiao placed a maggot on each hook.
Chu Qiao slowly let the rope down, leaving a three-meter-long rope on the shore. She picked up a large piece of ice to press down the rope to prevent it from being dragged into the ice hole by the strong fish.
Chu Qiao returned to the tree again. At this time, the sunlight moved to the center of the sky. The strong light shone on Chu Qiao, dispelling the coldness in her body.
Chu Qiao closed his eyes, lay motionless, and basked in the sun.
"Is Master Chu done now?"
"What do you mean, isn't it fishing?"
"So you don't need to worry about that?"
"Chu Taigong is fishing, but he can't fall in love with it."
Chu Qiao shook his head mysteriously, "I've finally had a moment of leisure. It's so hard to get such beautiful sunshine. How can I justify the thousands of miles and the hardships of trekking through mountains and rivers if I don't enjoy it?"
"Master Chu really knows how to enjoy himself."
"I'm really worried that Master Chu will be hungry soon."
“Ditto…”
Plus One
Brother Feng: "No, she has bugs."
"nausea--"
The sunlight moved slightly and sprinkled on Chu Qiao's face. Chu Qiao half-closed his eyes, and the sunlight shone into his eyelids, turning into a warm red.
The drone moved away and took pictures of the mountain from a distance. Chu Qiao slowly opened his eyes and looked at the blue screen. On the snow-capped mountain on the side of the screen, there seemed to be a trace of something evenly distributed.
Chu Qiao looked away, put his hand in front of his forehead, and looked at the mark carefully.
It seems to be the footprints of some animal.
Chu Qiao stood up and walked over, walking lightly and cautiously.
"What did Master Chu discover?"
"Is it for food?"
As I got closer, I saw small plum-shaped footprints, one-third the width of a palm, imprinted in the snow, deep and shallow.
Chu Qiao looked up at the direction of the footprints, which led to the hillside on the back.
Before Chu Qiao had time to explain, netizens became anxious.
"Master Chu, what animal?"
"tiger?"
"lion?"
"No, this paw is too small."
"It can't be a cat, right?"
Chu Qiao had a guess in his mind that the only animal that could survive in such a harsh environment, with such a large step distance between each step, must be a snow leopard.
Chu Qiao didn't want to alarm the snow leopard, an animal with strong attack power and agility.
"Let's go and take a look."
"I haven't seen your snow leopard in nature yet."
"Under safe circumstances, can you show us around, Master Chu?"
Chu Qiao thought about the possibility of dealing with the snow leopard by himself. Although there was no need for this, netizens were very enthusiastic and Chu Qiao did not want to disappoint everyone.
Chu Qiao pointed to the footprints ahead and said, "I suspect their cave should be nearby. We should just observe from a distance and not disturb them."
Judging from its paws, this snow leopard is not very big, and should be a female snow leopard or a juvenile male snow leopard.
"I'm going to see the snow leopards."
"Master Chu really dotes on his fans."
Chu Qiao thought helplessly that if she met a tiger, she would never go there even if she was beaten to death.
Chu Qiao lowered his body, bent his back forward, and walked towards the back mountain step by step following the footprints.
Chu Qiao could see that the snow leopard's footprints became more rapid as they went further back. One type was left when it accelerated to hunt prey, and the other was near a cave.
When they reached the leeward slope, Chu Qiao stopped and listened attentively to the movements around her.
The air was silent and there seemed to be nothing unusual.
The snow leopard's footprints disappeared, and Chu Qiao looked around, which meant it was nearby.
"ah--"
There was a distinctive sharp sound as the teacher's kettle boiled.
The sound was very small. If you were not there, if you did not prick up your ears to listen, if Chu Qiao did not have sensitive hearing, you would not be able to hear it at all.
Chu Qiao's ears twitched. Isn't it a snow leopard?
The snow leopard's voice is like a cat's meow, very soft and cute, even a little silly, which is completely inconsistent with its appearance.
Chu Qiao racked his brains and could only think of the cicadas in the trees making a similar sound due to the vibration of their wings.
"Master Chu's expression isn't right."
"Did you discover something?"
Chu Qiao nodded and said, "I heard a strange sound."
Chu Qiao closed his eyes, tilted his head, and tried to determine the direction based on the sounds that kept coming.
She pressed her right ear and could still hear a faint sound.
Chu Qiao pressed his right ear and the sound disappeared.
"left."
She immediately pointed to the slope on the left.
Netizens including Feng Ge were skeptical: "There's nothing there."
"It's just a vast expanse of white."
"Did Master Chu hear it wrong?"
Chu Qiao shook his head: "With only one sound source, I shouldn't be wrong."
As she spoke, she walked cautiously towards the voice. The higher Chu Qiao went, the louder the voice became. It overlapped and did not seem like there was only one individual voice.
"There really was a sound, and I heard it."
"I heard it too, a high-pitched sound."
"Master Chu's ears are amazing."
"It's not some ferocious beast, I'm a little scared."
However, Chu Dadan's confidence and curiosity about unknown things immediately piqued her interest.
Sure enough, halfway up the mountain, Chu Qiao saw a hidden cave. The edge of the cave was covered with thick white snow, so at first glance, it would not be easy to find the cave.
The entrance to the cave is forty centimeters wide.
Chu Qiao whispered, "Based on the size of this cave entrance, the largest animal that could fit inside would be a snow leopard, snow fox, or something like that. It could also be a snow rabbit."
Chu Qiao stood above the cave and knocked on the bottom edge.
In this way, once the animals inside heard the sound and came out of the cave in fright, Chu Qiao would be above the cave with a good view and could take the initiative.
However, no animals came out, and the sounds in the cave became even louder.
Chu Qiao frowned and decided to take a look.
