Chapter 367: Cougar
When Gao Xi felt anxiously by the small river where he had rested, he saw a pool of blood on the ground, and the double-barreled shotgun in the hand of one of them was still smoking, which should have just been fired.
He looked at Lightning and Arthur, because it was the two voices he heard there, and seeing that there was nothing wrong, he asked suspiciously, "What happened?" ”
"A cougar suddenly burst out of the grass next to it and almost bit our horse, but Arthur and Lightning reacted quickly and chased the cougar away, and then our guide opened fire, and the cougar had to run into the grass again and disappeared." Fei Leng Cui explained.
"There's a cougar?" Knowing that Lightning and Arthur were fine, Gaucy was relieved, but he was a little surprised that there were still cougars in this place.
As far as Gao Xi knows, the cougar, also known as the American golden cat, is similar in size to a leopard, but has no patterns in appearance and a small skull, with a total length of nearly two meters!
This guy often lives in valleys and jungles, especially in the trees, and has a strong jumping ability, which can reach more than nine meters in a single jump, and is second only to the jaguar in the Americas. However, it has a docile character, and under normal circumstances, it does not actively attack people, but only when people attack it, in self-defense, it will kill the attacker. In the Americas, some families capture baby cougars for domestication, and when they grow up, they can live in peace with cats and dogs, and they will guard the gate like dogs. It has earned the reputation of "Friend of Mankind".
Gao Xi knew that North America was also one of the places where cougars lived, and when he first arrived in the United States, he thought about whether there was an opportunity to raise a cougar to come to the home nursery, which was quite imposing. But I didn't encounter much, and I never had much chance.
It's just that I didn't expect to encounter it on the way to camp this time, and I also tried to attack the horses, it looks like it should be wild, and the domestic ones are probably not so crazy.
"Of course there is. Not to mention cougars, even jaguars and North American brown bears can appear, otherwise what do you think we brought hounds and guns for? But your dog and horse are really good, and they were able to detect the existence of the cougars in advance, and the hounds we brought didn't react at all. The guide came over and said.
At this time, Ye Xiu and Jin Sen also came over, and when they heard this, Ye Xiu said a little eagerly: "Brother Xi, let's talk about it, your dog must leave me one after he gets cubs, such a smart dog." I've never seen it before, but in front of those guys in the future, I have a face. ”
Ye Xiu is a red third generation, he knows many rich sons and brothers in the circle, everyone sometimes gets together together, they will fight dogs or something, Ye Xiu's snow mastiff was very powerful in the past, but unfortunately it is no longer there, he is desperate to find a dog that can be comparable to the previous snow mastiff. It's a pity that I never had the chance.
When he asked Gao Xi for the Tibetan mastiff on Gao Xi's pasture, it was just a whim, and he didn't think that he could compare with his snow mastiff at all. But now that he saw Lightning's cleverness, his mind was even more determined.
"Huh? What about the Hulk? Gao Xi heard Ye Xiu's words. Originally, I wanted to introduce the Hulk, after all, if you really want to talk about being brave and ruthless, it has to be the Hulk or Aquaman, and Lightning is a little weaker in this regard. But when he turned his head, he found that the Hulk was gone.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Ahh ”
Suddenly, a scalp-tinging scream came from the woods, attracting everyone's attention.
Gao Xi was about to go into the woods to find out. The cry had stopped, and then the Hulk came out of the woods hungry with a cougar in his mouth, and because the cougar was relatively large, part of his body was dragged to the ground.
"My God, this dog actually bit the cougar to death, this is too cruel." One of the Yankees shouted in surprise.
"Not dead yet." Gao Xi went over to check, and the cougar was still angry, because Gao Xi once pointed to the cougar and said that if you encounter such an animal, don't bite it to death, and try to stay in the air.
I didn't expect the Hulk to remember.
"But it's almost impossible to die, our first aid kits are all in the pickup truck, how can this be treated?" Fei Lengcui squatted there and looked at it and said.
"I have a first aid kit here, so I've got one just in case." The guide came over and brought the first aid kit with him.
Although it is said that the cougar has just attacked the horse, but no one including Gao Xi wants this guy to die, after all, this is already within the scope of Yellowstone, and killing the cougar here is a trouble no matter what, not to mention that there are a few animal protectionists here, they don't care what the cougar just did, it is to save the cougar.
When the guide bandaged the cougar's wounds, Gao Xi took out a bottle of water from the backpack he was carrying, although it was a mineral water bottle, but it was actually a spring of life, this thing was kept just in case, I didn't expect it to be used so soon.
He used the spring of life in the bottle of mineral water to clean the wound of the cougar, the spring of life has a very magical effect, for germs and viruses and harmful microorganisms have a strong killing effect, but for harmless microorganisms and large animals have a very magical healing effect, this magical spring water Gao Xi is now basically figured out, so how to use, he knows in his heart.
Cleaning the wound is to sterilize bacteria, prevent infection, and at the same time promote faster wound healing, and then pour some water on the side of the cougar's mouth for the cougar to drink. This is, of course, the most direct use of the Fountain of Life.
After it was over, I saw that the cougar gradually woke up, and when I saw the rest of the people, he still had a very vigilant, even fierce expression, and even tried to attack the guide who bandaged its wounds, but unfortunately because the injuries were too serious, they couldn't do it at all.
However, when he saw Gao Xi, he actually showed a grateful gaze, and whispered twice at Gao Xi.
"What's the matter, Brother Xi, do you know this cougar?" Ye Xiu asked in surprise.
"I don't know, probably because I was born with a talent for getting close to animals." Gossi took it for granted a nonsense.
"So, I think we can take this cougar with us for the time being, and then release it when it's almost recovered?" Gao Xi actually wanted to take the cougar home and raise it, but after thinking about it, he gave up, this cougar is already an adult, although he has a good impression of Gao Xi, but he may not be able to bite other people in the ranch, if he really bites, or even bites anyone to death, then he can't afford it.
Now there is a good way to communicate with this adult cougar, maybe one day this guy will bring his own child to give it to him, after all, it is not easy for the cougar to live in nature, how tiring it is to raise a child.
"It looks like that's all we can do, let it go now, it's going to be killed by the other animals." The guide said with a sigh.
"But what if the cougars get mad and attack our horses?" Objections were raised.
"Don't worry, I'm here, and Lightning, Arthur and Hulk, it doesn't dare to come nonsense, and it can't do nonsense, if you are still worried, I'll stay away from you, you walk in front, I walk behind, even if the cougar goes crazy, it won't cause you any trouble, if you are unlucky, then I am unlucky, this should be okay, right?" Gossey thought for a moment.
"I'll stay with you." Jin Sen thought for a moment.
"I'm with you too." Ye Xiu is also interested in the cougar, and he is not afraid when he sees that Gao Xi is so confident, not to mention that the cougar is so seriously injured, and it will not be able to recover in a while, even if he wants to harm people, he doesn't have the strength.
After this was decided, Jin Sen, Gao Xi, and Ye Xiu followed behind, about twenty meters away from the team in front, so that there was a buffer zone, and it was easy to react if something really happened.
As the team continued to walk forward, there were fewer and fewer trees, and sometimes it was only a few tens of meters before a lone tree swayed in the wind.
However, there are fewer trees, but there are more stones, and they are basically volcanic stones.
Gao Xi has seen in movies before that Yellowstone is actually an active volcano, but even if it is an active volcano, if it really erupts, it will have to be tens of thousands of years old, and Gao Xi may die and even his bones will become fossils.
However, this kind of thing is not certain, and some volcanoes suddenly erupt for no apparent reason. Once this volcano in Yellowstone Park erupts, it will definitely be the whole United States, no, it should be said that it is a catastrophe for the whole of North America, and then it will really be the end of the United States, I don't know how many people will suffer.
Gao Xi's current ranch is near Yellowstone, and if this thing is really going to explode, he will be the first to be unlucky.
When he first came, he was worried, but now he is not afraid, we have an old Chinese saying, "there are times in life that must be had, and there is no time in life to force it".
If you really have to be killed by a volcanic eruption, then face it calmly, besides, the entire American people are their own funeral goods, which is even higher than the specifications of Qin Shi Huang and his old man, what is not satisfied?
Because there are more rocks, although there are fewer trees, but the degree of danger is not low, so whether it is the people in front or the high west behind, they all keep moving slowly, some people even get off the horse, pull the reins of the horse and walk slowly, some places are really not a road, if you want to go over, you have to take some risks.
"Don't worry too much, just follow the kind of riding posture I told you before, what to do uphill and downhill, remember everything, and there won't be too much of a problem. Also be aware of your surroundings. (To be continued......)
