Chapter 1024: Wolf of the Snow Field
In about ten minutes, the two of them came to the outside of the valley one after the other.
Sure enough, as soon as they got there, they saw Gina lying on the meadow with a pair of binoculars in her hand, cautiously peering down the valley, not knowing what she was doing.
"Gina, what are you doing here? I was scared to death to suddenly find no one. Terry said as he hurried over.
"Shhhhh ”
Gina hurriedly turned around and said to the two of them with a nervous expression.
"Uh... What's wrong, Lina, what the hell are you looking at?" Harry was stunned, and hurriedly crouched down, moved his body, and moved over to Linna, and asked her curiously.
"Shhhh
Gina made a booing motion.
"Hmm, Snowwolf!"
Terry and Zhou You were stunned at the same time, they didn't expect Gina to come to this place and do this!
"Don't forget, I'm a biologist! It's not easy to have the opportunity to observe a snowwolf!"
Gina whispered, then continued to pick up the telescope and continue to observe.
Curiously, Zhou You and Terry also leaned over to her, and looked down the valley as she did.
The ridge in front of the valley stretched like a knife edge into the high mountain clouds, and I didn't know what was behind the ridge.
But I saw Gina Cat bending down and crawling along the edge of the meadow in a strange posture, while his hands were desperately bowed, signaling Zhou You and Terry, who were following behind, to squat.
The three of them, half-crouched or lying on their stomachs, moved from the meadow towards the high part of the ridge, where there were a few clumps of weeds where the ridge was windy, and they made out a few clumps of red willows and some water branches.
"Try to keep quiet, we're close to the wolves. ”
Gina whispered a word of advice to them.
Terry looked cautiously and saw that behind the ridge were huge gullies left by glacial erosion, which had since melted and become a pebble riverbed, now yellow and green with artemisia grass and lichen.
So Terry whispered, "This hillside is so weird, with so many folds. ”
"It's icy terrain. ”
Gina's hand swept over the angular ridge and explained, "These folds are all blade ridges eroded by glaciers, and the U-shaped valley below is surrounded by the remains of ancient cirques. ”
As Gina said, looking down from their position, the glacial gullies descended like steps, looking like the stands of the Olympic venues, and they were at the very top of the stands.
But Terry's eyes widened, let alone a snowwolf, he didn't even see a yak-sized body, he wondered if there was something wrong with his eyesight, rubbed his eyes and looked again, or no?
At this time, Gina opened her five fingers, stretched her hand out of the ridge, and said, "Great, now we are facing the wind, as long as we whisper, we will not be exposed." ”
Terry hurriedly asked, "Where are the wolves?"
Gina said to him, "Don't worry, you can watch with this. ”
As she spoke, Gina handed the telescope to Terry, who looked at the sign and magnified it 30-80 times, and he kept increasing the magnification, and he was dumbfounded.
Because if it was this magnification, the target would be at least five kilometers away, and even an animal the size of a yak would not be much bigger than an ant in the eyes, and Gina asked them to whisper, and then cautiously lay forward, as if the wolves were close at hand.
Terry carefully adjusted the focus and direction, and then picked up the telescope to look closely, but due to the distance and the fog in the valley, he could only see a few vague black shadows in the distance.
So Terry couldn't help but complain, "Gina, you're too careful, how can we be found so far away." ”
As he spoke, Terry stood up with his binoculars in hand, but he was immediately held down by Gina.
Gina reminded him with a serious face: "Jirui, don't move, you can't see them, it doesn't mean they can't see you! If you don't want to die, you should lie on your stomach obediently, and talk to me quietly! Also, don't be scratched by stones or something, you know, wolves can catch the smell of blood dozens of kilometers away." ”
"Uh... Alright!"
Terry was stunned, but he knew that his sister was a well-known biology master, so he didn't feel alarmist about what Gina said, so he continued to crouch down and continued to spy into the distance with the telescope.
After observing for a while, Terry finally saw through the telescope that the slope of the lower section of the "U" trough was slightly gentle, and after the long-term erosion of glacial rivers, two deep pits, one large and one small, were formed, which were connected together, and looked like a gourd from a distance.
There are a group of black dots the size of sesame seeds in the gourd, and there are traces of movement from time to time, and it is actually a herd of yaks blocked in the valley, and where the wolves Lina is talking about, he can't see it in the telescope!
However, just because Terry can't see the wolves doesn't mean the others can't see them either.
Zhou You, who was on his side, observed the scene below the valley very thoroughly through his powerful eyesight beyond ordinary humans!
Traveling around, I saw that the terrain in the depths of the valley was very steep, the two walls were steep, difficult to climb, and the gourd mouth was narrow and slender, and I was afraid that it would be difficult for two yaks to pass side by side.
On a high ground in the valley, there is a group of more than a dozen wild yaks of different sizes, which are forming a circle, huddled together, the corners are the same, and the expression is very nervous.
And among the wild yaks, there are still a few young wild yaks, which are obviously part of the protection.
At a distance of about 100 meters from the wild yak herd, there were more than a dozen wild wolves with sparse coats, lying on the surrounding grass.
Their eyes were full of banter, some of them swayed leisurely, some squatted on the ground, with their front paws arranging the hair on the side of their mouths, scratching their heads there, and some chasing and playing, completely ignoring the wild yaks on the high ground in front of them, who were ready to die and fight desperately.
However, Zhou You also couldn't understand why those plateau wolves, which only numbered a dozen or so, and many of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, dared to surround the wild yaks that were much larger than them.
Zhou You even thought at one time that it was completely different from the scene in front of him. These dozen wolves can't even plug the gap at the bottom of the gourd, and those wild yaks collectively make an impact to the southwest, and it is entirely possible to break through.
You must know that those snow wolves are small in size, and the group of snow wolves that "lured the enemy" in front are even more emaciated, and I am afraid that these dozen wolves together are not as heavy as the leader of the wild yak.
