Chapter 120: The Terrible Hunter
"You ......" Ning Lei, who originally wanted Gu Xiaole to apologize to herself, never expected this guy to be so sophistry, and she was so angry that she didn't know what to say for a while.
But before her eldest lady's temper escalated, the two sisters, Lin Jiao and Lin Rui, also climbed down the rope ladder from the wreckage of the plane.
"Brother Xiaole, what are you going to eat in the morning?" Lin Jiao asked with a shy and cute appearance, pretending to be kawaii.
"Well, there wasn't much food today, just grilled fish and mushroom soup. Gu Xiaole was very satisfied with the rescue they came, and said with a smile as he tapped the big soup pot that the toolbox had changed.
But what all of them didn't expect was that he had just knocked on the soup pot twice and the crisp metal impact sound had not been far away when he heard a low roar from the branch of a tree beside him:
"Whew......"
"This ......"
"I'm going! This guy can't really use us as a cafeteria, right?"
"It's the big white cat again!"
The three girls looked at a branch less than five or six meters away from them and exclaimed.
That's right, the big white cat that has been visiting their camp for the past few days is lying on the branch of the tree at the moment, staring at Gu Xiaole who is still busy cooking under the tree with a lazy look.
There was also a clear layer of meaning in the eyes of those yellow-green eyes: Why don't you guys hurry up and get my breakfast ready?
"I went to know that these cats have always regarded themselves as masters, and I thought that only the cats in the family were like this! It turns out that the same is true in the wild!" Lin Jiao said with some consternation.
"Then who are you asking, it's not our Xiao Band Leader, who has fed it again and again, which has caused the current situation!" Ning Lei had no place to vent her anger at Gu Xiaole, and immediately took the opportunity to say.
Gu Xiaole didn't care about this at all, and said with a smile:
"It's okay, I made it eat my portion of salted fish this morning!"
After that, he pulled a freshly roasted salted fish out of the fire and threw it directly onto the ground under the big cat not far away.
After getting along with each other a few times, it was obvious that this white elf had a certain trust in Gu Xiaole, and the grilled salted fish that was still steaming had just fallen to the ground.
It jumped on it and chewed on it.
"No, Captain Xiao, you can't skip breakfast, so I'm not very hungry, so I'll give you half of my grilled salted fish!"
Lin Rui thoughtfully tore off half of the salted fish from the food he had rationed and handed it to Gu Xiaole.
On the side, Lin Jiao also hurriedly said:
"Hey, if it weren't for Brother Xiaole last night, you took the risk to get painkillers for me in the middle of the night, maybe I wouldn't have been able to get down to the ground by now!
Come on, come on, my salted fish is also half of Brother Xiaole!"
Although Gu Xiaole is not short of food now, there seems to be a split between the three girls who have always been good friends.
Two of the three were divided into fish for Gu Xiaole, making the remaining Ning Lei a little in a dilemma, not dividing, not dividing......
"Forget Ning Lei, you eat a little more, and you will be needed when you go out hunting with me for a while!" Gu Xiaole glanced at Ning Lei, who was at a loss, and said with a slight smile.
"Hunting with you?" I ...... "Ning Lei had the heart to say that I won't go out hunting with you big pervert!"
But before she could speak, Lin Jiao on the side immediately answered:
"Brother Xiaole, are you going hunting? Why don't you bring both of us sisters with you? Two more people can get some prey, right?"
Gu Xiaole smiled and shook his head: "Xiaojiao, your body is just a little better, let's cultivate more in the airplane hotel today!"
Lin Rui, you also accompany her more at home, just have me and Ning Lei to go, too many people are easy to scare away the prey. ”
Although Lin Rui didn't speak, judging from the look of loss in her eyes, she was still very disappointed with Gu Xiaole's decision.
But since the captain has decided so, the work has been assigned.
The Lin sisters stayed in the camp, and Gu Xiaole and Ning Lei went out to hunt and get food.
After breakfast, Gu Xiaole and Ning Lei simply packed up their tools, said goodbye to the Lin family sisters, and began to step into the reckless jungle, of course, the little guy gold quilt naturally jumped on Gu Xiaole's shoulders and followed him all the way.
Speaking of this little monkey, in fact, Gu Xiaole never wanted it to get too close to them, the survivor humans, after all, it belonged to this jungle.
If you stay with them for a long time, you will inevitably lose your wildness, and if one day they can really leave the desert island, won't they trap this little guy.
However, this gold is probably too familiar with Gu Xiaole and them, although they often go out to find wild food to eat, but they will inevitably return to the camp to sleep with them at night.
Gu Xiaole couldn't get rid of it directly, after all, it had become the treasure of the hearts of the three girls, not to mention that he would use it many times.
In this way, two people and a monkey slowly searched in the jungle for a long time.
I don't know if I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today, but I didn't find a single prey, not to mention any large animals such as roe deer and wild deer, but I didn't even see a rabbit and pheasant.
"Huh, it's really weird! Why are there so few animals in the jungle today?" Gu Xiaole, who was walking in front of the road, muttered suspiciously.
Although Ning Lei has always been very uneasy about the captain who wants to have a house with her in her dreams, she also knows that walking in the jungle must not be too far away from Gu Xiaole, so she has been closely following him along the way.
Now when I heard the person in front of me say this, I also responded:
"Yes, not only are there fewer animals, but the insects and birds are barely audible!
Ning Lei's question is not unreasonable, Gu Xiaole, who has been hunting in the mountains with the third uncle all the year round, knows that if there are hunters in a mountain, many animals in this mountain will soon find that it is not safe here.
Many wild animals will even start migrating to farther habitats.
But this is obviously not the case at the moment, first of all, they have only moved here for a day or two, and they have only hunted a few pheasants and hares, which has very little impact on the ecological environment here.
Second, even if these beasts knew about the existence of humans and didn't dare to stay here anymore, they wouldn't disappear overnight?
And even the sounds of insects and birds are gone, which is even more weird.
Gu Xiaole shook his head, and suddenly he had the illusion that there was a terrifying force in this jungle that was affecting all living beings here.
But what this power is, Gu Xiaole can't guess it at all now.
The two of them slowly advanced for more than a kilometer, and suddenly found that a colorful green python skin appeared on the branch in front of them!
At first, they thought it was a snake molt left by the molting of a certain big python, but when Gu Xiaole got closer to check, he found that there was actually a complete python skeleton in that skin!
This discovery surprised the two men, because just looking at the length of the snake's skin, it is estimated that the python is at least 6,7 meters long.
Who in this jungle can prey on such a large python and gnaw it so cleanly that only snake skin and bones remain?
Gu Xiaole and Ning Lei glanced at each other, seeing fear and incomprehension in each other's eyes.
But the little monkey gold pointed to the skin of the big python and jumped up and down, looking very excited.
Probably because its own mother was eaten by this python, it was happy every time it saw these guys killed.
However, Gu Xiaole and Ning Lei were not happy at all, because being able to kill such a large python animal was probably a big threat to them as humans.
It's not that far from their plane wreck camp, so it wouldn't be a surprise if this guy did run to the camp to attack them!
"Gu Xiaole, what kind of guy can you eat this python for? Could it be the big white cat that eats in our camp?"
Gu Xiaole shook his head: "Impossible!"
"Although the big white cat may attack the python, but like this big python, I'm afraid it is very difficult to deal with, and it doesn't need to hunt such a big prey at all!
Of course, the reason why I'm so sure it wasn't the big white cat who did it, and the most important thing is that if the big white cat did it, the feline's sharp claws and teeth would definitely make this python all in tatters.
How is it possible to leave such a complete skin?"
"What could that be? I really can't imagine it!" Gu Xiaole's answer didn't make Ning Lei feel at ease at all, but became even more anxious.
"Well, I think I've found the answer......" Gu Xiaole said after lifting the snakeskin and looking at it.
