Chapter 248: Felines

"Look at this, I remember its name, it's called [Snowflake], right?"

"Yes, [Snowflake]. โ€

He slowly crouched down, his fingertips lightly touching the small, fragile snowflake-like white flower.

It shook a little, the little guy didn't seem to be as fragile as it looked, the subtle current was transmitted in this instant, making Albert retract his fingers, but he didn't feel the sting, when you manipulate the energy for a long time, you will be like him, let this become an instinct, he just laughed after feeling the small arc.

It was just a weed, a common weed in the north, but it was lucky, lucky enough to make two traveling passers-by stop and look at themselves.

The grass called Snowflakes is swaying in the wind.

It doesn't have any special effect, the taste is particularly unpalatable, it's not as fresh and tender as it seems, it's better to gnaw the bark than this, and the fruit is also very sour, and it's uncomfortable for ordinary people to eat too much, but the further north it goes, the more common [snowflakes] are, and at the same time, it's also one of the few plants that can grow on the barren extremely low ice field, its main body is underground, and it can be retracted in case of disaster, and its own vitality is tenacious enough.

This is another peculiar plant.

It grows a thick cocoon-like shell underground, which can store water inside, and when extreme weather such as earthquakes, fires, torrential rains, and strong winds come, it will automatically retract and close the outer openings until the disaster has passed.

Because its own branches are also that kind of curly, just a main branch in the center, with flowers blooming on it, it is not difficult to retract, and its seeds will be ejected out with the explosion of the fruit after the fruit grows and expands, and the ground and underground structures grow together, and once it grows, it wants to destroy it, unless it is dug up by the roots, it doesn't matter if it dies in the cocoon-like shell, a new [snowflake] will grow again inside, with the "legacy" left by the "predecessors" At the same time, being able to emit a subtle electric current also allows them to better protect themselves from herbivores.

No matter how bad the taste is, it is not as good as the ability of a self-preservation, after all, many times, wild animals are not picky eaters.

They only seek to be well fed early, to return to their nests early, and to be safe early.

If it weren't for the cultivation of the whole people, this way of life of coexistence with animals and plants is really a bit dangerous, because it means that people are also within the scope of the hunter's diet, and we have been isolated from nature for too long, so that we have forgotten the posture of being hunted, and many people only see the "mentally incomplete" tigers in captivity, and see their "gentle and cute", which are all domesticated, and they are a little less murderous than the wild.

Here, it is also a wasteland, of course, the road under the feet is as smooth as ever, the roadside monument is still dutifully completing the task designed at the beginning of their design, but the traces inadvertently left by the careless staff still prove that the place name has changed, that is not unusual, change the name, as long as the local people agree that the proportion of the number of people is up to standard, sometimes, people are always nostalgic, they will stick to a name, but more and more outsiders join, and larger and larger urban areas, or let them reluctantly give up stickingใ€‚

It's still the same, a little boring green meadow, blue sky and white clouds, the same natural scenery, and the pulse of life.

Cecilia was aroused by this little grass.

She manipulated the water vapor in the air to gather into a balloon of water, enveloping the [snowflake] flowers, and then giggled and watched the plant shrink back, and as compensation, she threw a small piece into it as its cocoon-like shell closed, in short, it was something good for the plant, and the little flower probably thought it was a heavy rain, so it would hide in it, and it wouldn't slow down for a while.

"Let's go. He tapped her on the shoulder, "It's time to go into town." โ€

"Alright, alright, come right away. โ€

From here, you can look back at the mountains of the small warm basin that had been before, and the white, hazy mountains at the top of the distance, the rolling clouds, and the vast forest.

Not far away, in front of them is the Elven City, the legendary capital of art, where they can relax.

Just after leaving, the two made a silent gesture to each other almost at the same time, stared at each other for two seconds, and then smiled silently.

It was a cheetah, an adult cheetah, it was hiding in the grass, listlessly lying on its stomach in the sun, and a little farther away, the flesh and blood rabbit skeleton showed that it had just finished eating, but such a rabbit obviously couldn't make it full, and it could not make up enough shriveled stomach to see, but its vigilance was still there, and it couldn't take more leopard's hunting instinct if it wasn't full of food.

As soon as the two of them left the road and stepped on the grass, it stood up, turned its head to the source of the sound, and kept turning its ears until it spotted them in a few seconds, of course, the two had no intention of sneaking in the first place.

This is when one of the evolutionary advantages of taller heights comes into play: you can see predators at a glance in tall grass.

The beast's pupils were looking at them, and they were looking at it.

A very clean female animal (male and female can be seen from the difference in coat color and facial patterns), the fur is clean and odorless, but the bone of the left front foot is injured, probably kicked off by a large herbivore, their way of expelling the threat is simple and crude, but extremely effective, its normal outcome is to slowly lose its prey and starve to death.

Albert threw it a piece of meat.

It seemed to hesitate for a moment, then finally lowered its head and began to enjoy its meal.

The wounded cheetah gave up its dignity, of course, given the different values, it may not have a concept of dignity from beginning to end, and the reason why it hesitates is only to worry about whether there is anything in the food that should not be eaten, or, simply to observe whether there are other intentions on the other side.

Soon, it finished eating, and just looked at a few well-behaved lying down, and the transaction was successful, and it seemed that it had done something similar.

Cecilia gently stroked the female leopard's back, he squatted down and grabbed the injured foot, which made the little guy react greatly, but no matter how big it was, it was useless, the irresistible huge telekinesis directly pressed it, and the whole body could not move, and then, closing his eyes, Albert slowly kneaded the broken leg, he was looking for the specific location of the broken bone, finally, the perception of this professional has reached a level that can replace some skills, a pull, a break, a pull, a press, the broken bone is connected, [healing] It lit up, the pain faded, and it realized what the human in front of it had done, and it very affectionately raised his hand, and snorted.

But Albert didn't touch it again, even though it was the first time in his life that he had come into close contact with the animal, and he just patted the head of the little one who had been so close at once.

"Remember to be careful next time, but not always someone will treat you. โ€

It answered, and Cecilia withdrew her hand, and together they watched it disappear into the grass, and the leopard looked back from time to time, perhaps for it was a lifesaver, but they all felt that it was a gesture.

Hopefully, it won't be so unlucky again, and in terms of probability, it's probably going to die.

He took out a photo crystal, and finally took a picture of its tail peeking out of the grass, and after thinking about it, he pulled her over and took a selfie with the grass in the background.

It should live in the south and not in the north, at least in the tropics, maybe it was someone's abandoned pet, and its owner brought it here, a land completely alien to its physical instincts, to fend for itself, it would go south on its own, and if it managed to survive, it should be able to reach an area suitable for its survival.
