Chapter 3 Growing Up
Because of its hidden terrain and harsh environment, Motuo County has been named "the world's unique place hidden in clouds, snow mountains and dense forests" and "the last secret place on earth".
From the past, you must climb the snowy mountains, climb cliffs, cross the dense forests, and travel long distances with your own feet and measure step by step.
Because the road to this paradise-like beautiful place is like purgatory, human footprints have not yet been able to reach here.
However, although human beings have not yet set foot here, a group of human "relatives" have long regarded this place as a " paradise" and live a carefree life.
In a blink of an eye, ten years have passed since the snowman escaped here.
In the past ten years, snowmen and savages have got along very well with each other. They complement each other and make progress together, and have become a family.
Ten years have passed, and even the unknown baby who was just one month old has grown into a strong young man.
Because the baby had little hair at that time, the snowman and the savage gave him a very funny name, which was translated into a human name - Sanmao!
Because Sanmao has been able to drink the "pure natural green milk" of snowman every day since he was a child. Water", coupled with all kinds of experiences he has to do in the forest every day, so Sanmao's physical fitness can definitely be regarded as a perverted development among his peers!
This makes Sanmao look like a ten-year-old child at all, but more mature than a teenager.
Sanmao, in particular, often shows a sense of cleverness, so he is deeply loved by snowmen and savages.
Sanmao has lived with snowmen and savages since childhood. Although he can't get a good education like in the human world, he can also be said to have benefited a lot.
Snowmen and wild people have taught 30 cents several stunts to survive in the forest, so Sanmao will go out to exercise these stunts every morning to make himself stronger.
Because only when he is stronger can he survive better in this harsh environment and repay the cultivation of snowmen and wild people since childhood.
###
In the morning, the warm sunlight obliquely penetrated into a dense forest, leaving some mottled traces on the ground through the occasional gap between the lush leaves.
This is a common larch forest in Tibet. Because it has green, strong and hard leaves, it can resist cold and heat, and its vitality is extremely strong.
The ground of the forest is full of lush grass. After being stained with the dew of the morning, it looks even more delicate.
At this time, a large group of elk deer are looking for food here, enjoying the delicious food given to them by God.
Suddenly, some elk stopped foraging and raised their ears alertly. As soon as they raised their heads, they saw a strong snow leopard behind the grass in the distance, and the cat slowly approached them.
Look at the snow leopard's sharp minions and ferocious eyes, they warn the elk all the time that danger is coming!
The snow leopard is named for living near the snow line all year round. It is gray-white and covered with black spots and black rings. It is known as the most beautiful cat in the world.
Their whereabouts are mysterious. Every morning and dusk are the peak of predation and activity, and they are often active at night.
This snow leopard has not eaten for a long time, and it is a little hungry at this time! Originally, it should not be difficult for it to hunt food.
However, looking at its helpless eyes and its bulging stomach, you will find that it is actually a pregnant female leopard!
Probably for this reason, the snow leopard changed its usual hunting method of sneak attack or ambush, and wanted to capture its prey in one fell swoop by chasing with its vigorous body;
Of course, these are only inferreds from the superficial actions of the snow leopard. The real result is...
What makes all the elk suspicious is that although the snow leopard has been staring at them in the distance, it has never rushed over.
So, these bold elk, because they are reluctant to give up the fresh grass, still stay here to continue to eat.
However, their eating speed slowed down a little, and from time to time they looked up at the snow leopard. Looking at the alert, they were probably ready to escape at any time.
Sure enough, as expected, just as the elk were about to be full, the snow leopard suddenly jumped up and shot at the deer like a sharp arrow from the string.
The snow leopard running with all its strength is undoubtedly extremely fast: it first jumps forward, retreats backwards, and its body becomes very long in an instant, and its speed rises; then, its front legs shrink back, its hind legs move forward, arch its body, and then opens, like a spring, and the speed becomes faster.
Moreover, every time the snow leopard runs and jumps, it crosses a very long distance. In the air, its tail often swings up and down - that is to maintain the balance of the body in high-speed movement.
In this way, the snow leopard has been chasing at high speed, as if it would not stop if it did not catch its prey.
The elk obviously expected this scene to happen, and it had already dispersed when the snow leopard jumped up.
Among them, several strong elk think that with their own speed, they should not lose to the slightly bloated snow leopard, so they fled in the direction chased by the snow leopard.
However, to the surprise of these elk, just as they had just run out and passed through a bush, another adult snow leopard suddenly rushed out of it and rushed at them fiercely.
The elk are running at a high speed, and there is no time to dodge at all. Even if they are as flexible as elk, there is nothing they can do.
At the critical moment, they can only pray for God's blessing, hoping that their luck can be better.
There is no suspense. Almost in an instant, one of the tallest and strongest elk was thrown to the ground by the snow leopard.
The elk struggled a few times, and its throat was pierced by the snow leopard's sharp teeth and slowly lost the vitality of life.
At this time, the first pregnant female leopard that appeared leisurely ran here. Looking at its empty mouth, it is obvious that it can't catch any prey.
But even so, the female leopard looked very happy, as if the ending had been expected.
When the snow leopard caught its prey, when it saw the pregnant female leopard approaching, it did not issue a warning to stop it, but played with it and played a pre-meal game.
Needless to say, these two snow leopards are like glue and kiss me. Obviously, they are a family!
It turns out that this matter is a conspiracy from beginning to end! The division of labor between the snow leopard couple is very clear. First, the female leopard made a pair of teeth and claws on the front of the deer herd, so as to attract the attention of the deer herd, so that the male leopard can unconsciously go around the back of the deer herd for an ambush;
Then, when these elk are almost full, their speed is affected to a certain extent, and when they are extremely nervous, the female leopard is responsible for giving them a thunderbolt. The female leopard does this not to catch them, but to disperse them;
It's not difficult to imagine what will happen next - when these panicked elk run away, they broke their heads and didn't expect that death would suddenly come to their side!
Calm, neat and beautiful, this is the creatures of nature, using their own wisdom to launch a perfect attack!
At this time, on a big tree not far from the deer, a half-big savage surrounded by wolf skin, dishevelled hair and a necklace with animal bones around his neck were staring at this thrilling and exciting scene without blinking, for fear of missing any details.
The one who lies down on that tree to watch a good night is to go out for morning exercise every day - Sanmao!
At this time, Sanmao's eyes were shining and short of breath. Obviously, he had been deeply immersed in a series of movements when the snow leopard ran just now. San Mao carefully experienced the essentials of those movements, because among the few stunts taught by the savage, there is a unique skill called "Leopard Step", which improves his running speed by imitating the movements of the leopard when running.
Because Sanmao was absent-minded, it took him a long time to suddenly find that there was a sudden change under the tree.
Just now, when the male leopard was dragging the elk with his teeth to get the elk on the tree and eat with the leopard, suddenly, dozens of beasts that look like dogs, with sharp mouths, upright ears and drooping tails appeared around the forest like ghosts.
Those beasts with cracked teeth and fierce eyes are a group of cunning and fierce wolves who usually come out day and night!
Wolves are extremely gregarious species, usually collectively. The number of wolves is about 6 to 12, usually led by families and led by a pair of the most powerful pairs.
The wolf runs extremely fast, and can even surpass the cheetah in long-distance running. Moreover, their intelligence is quite high, and they can communicate with each other with smells, calls, etc.
In fact, this group of cunning wild wolves actually came earlier than the snow leopard couple! But their biggest feature is that they can tolerate. In order to save strength and improve hunting efficiency, they have been waiting for the best hunting opportunity after discovering the herd.
Finally, they were finally asked to wait for this free breakfast.
The snow leopard couple looked at the dozens of greedy wolves in front of them, and of course they knew what they wanted to do. After weighing each other's strength, the male leopard roared unwillingly, looked helplessly at the pregnant female leopard, and then took down a piece of the internal organs of the elk's body, stepped up the tree and greeted the female leopard to escape.
As soon as the remaining wild wolves saw the snow leopard couple leaving, they immediately came to the dead elk. Although the seductive delicacy is at the mouth, few wolves are eating it. It turns out that the hierarchy in the wolves is very strict, and it is necessary to wait for the first wolf to eat before it is the turn of other wolves to eat.
After the wolf was full, he shook his tail and left. Other wolves followed, but there was no such phenomenon of crowding each other and scrambling for food. Instead, the old wolf and the little wolf ate first, and then the middle-aged wolf ate it.
From this point of view alone, these seemingly uncivilized wild wolves are more qualified than some human beings known as "intellectuals", because at least - wild wolves also know the virtue of respecting the old and loving the young!
No matter how little the wolf eats, how can a elk be enough for the wolves? Therefore, the meat of an elk aroused the appetite of a group of wolves. This time, they finally couldn't help but take the initiative to attack, still thinking about the group of elk that were eating in the distance.
Before, the deer did not expect the calculation of the snow leopard, so they became the prey of the snow leopard; then, the snow leopard did not expect the patience of the wolves, so they had to give up the delicious food. Probably, this is what the human world says - mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind!
