Chapter 190: Looking for Death
To the east, there was a vast plain, covered with snow, extremely flat, and seemingly barren.
But at the junction of the plains and the mountains, there is a canyon, which may not be called a canyon, but rather, a crack in the ground.
The gap is about three meters wide, more than five meters high, and more than forty meters long, and there is a small patch of trees growing in the gap.
If you look closely, it turns out to be a very young spruce.
This is an interesting discovery, because there is not a single tree in the vicinity of thousands of square kilometers, and it is difficult to find even a grass, and there is actually a small spruce forest here.
I don't know where the seeds floated from, but they just fell here, probably left by a group of small animals that migrated earlier a few years ago.
Spruce is shade-tolerant and cold-tolerant, taking root and sprouting in this dark and lightless crevice, growing slowly, but also about five meters high, if you lie on the ground and watch, just a little bud tip.
Wang Yang is very happy, although it is very small and there is not too much food, it can be left to perch temporarily, which is a good place to stay.
What made him even happier was that he saw the group of mammoths that had been chasing for a long time appear here.
They didn't go down into the crevices, because the crevices were steep and they didn't go down easily, but they just stood on the ground and tried to pick up a branch with their long noses to eat.
Wang Yang excitedly shook the wooden spear, shouted at the people under the mountain, and pointed to the east.
They looked at the place, their eyes flashing with excitement, but they didn't dare to make a loud noise, the mammoth didn't notice them, and could take a slow approach.
Wang Yang wanted to go down the mountain immediately to join everyone. He was even mentally ready to chase again, but he was attracted by the mammoth's actions.
I saw a mammoth standing two meters away from the edge of the crack. Keep sticking out his nose, trying to hook the tip of the tree.
But no matter how long the nose is, it can't reach two meters away. Not to mention hooking up.
But they were extremely wary of the food that was close at hand, and refused to take any further steps.
They were all hungry, they hadn't eaten anything since they left the forest, and they had crossed the forest line two days earlier than Wang Yang and the others, and by now, they hadn't eaten for nearly ten days.
It's all about burning body fat to get by, and even though they have a lot of fat, they definitely have to eat to a certain extent.
Now they're running out of ammunition. If you don't eat again, you will definitely starve to death.
To be honest, they are tired and hungry, and Wang Yang is not an exaggeration to describe them as outlaws, because they are in a hurry to find food, they have to travel day and night, and hurry quickly.
The chase with Wang Yang and others also helped them to a certain extent and rushed here.
There are many reasons not to step forward. Wang Yang speculated that the mammoth herd may have felt the instability of the snow at the edge, and it was likely to fall into the crack in the ground and fall more than five meters away. It's a very serious matter for them.
Even a kitten with a light gait will inevitably get injured if it is dropped from a height of five meters.
The lead female elephant looked at her companion. In the end, he stepped forward cautiously and stepped forward with it. And an old mammoth.
Wang Yang looked anxious, knowing that the edge was unstable. The two of them stepped forward together, isn't this looking for death!
As expected, the two elephants were soon on the edge, and the two front legs were loose.
They stretched out their noses and poked forward, and in the middle of this body pressing forward, nearly a few tens of centimeters of snow suddenly fell off, and the leader female elephant did not have time to retreat, and plunged into the crack in the ground.
The old elephant stepped on the rock, but the rock had been eroded by the wind, snow and snow for a long time, and it was very loose, and with a "boom", the old elephant also fell, smashed into the female elephant's body, and rolled aside.
The elephants were frightened and retreated and wailed, and the two elephants below were also screaming in pain and did not stand up.
Wang Yang wiped his face: "What a sin! ”
He hurried down the hill and led the people to that place.
A few minutes later, they were less than 300 meters away from the mammoth herd, and everyone took out their weapons as they ran, preparing to attack, but Wang Yang immediately stopped them.
The mammoth herd also spotted Wang Yang and others, and many baby elephants watched in horror as they slowly retreated, but did not really stay away.
They don't want to be killed, they don't want to abandon their companions, and the last thing they want is to leave the little woods that are left.
Without this, they really don't know how many more days they will live, maybe they won't live for a lifetime.
Wang Yang told everyone to put away their weapons, slow down, and slowly approach the mammoth herd, trying not to disturb them.
He really has no chance of killing them now, two elephants have already fallen into the cracks in the ground, life and death are unknown, why bother to kill again?
The mammoth herd naturally didn't know Wang Yang's thoughts, thinking that they still wanted to kill themselves, but this time, they were really tired and didn't want to escape.
They retreated to the other side of the crack, and no longer retreated.
Wang Yang and the others came to this side of the crack and looked at the crack.
The bottom of the crack is surrounded by steep rock walls, which is very suitable for the surrounding environment, but the unusual thing is that there is soil at the bottom.
Wang Yang looked at the mountain next to the crack in the ground, and thought to himself that it must be the strong wind that blew the sand and gravel in the distance onto the mountain next to it, and then brought it to the bottom of the crack by snow, thus forming a small accumulation and turning it into natural soil.
The spruce forest is densely planted underneath, and it is really not a waste of resources, of course, there are only a few spruce trees that can grow to more than five meters high, and most of the others are all small trees.
Wang Yang took a closer look and found that there was a movement in the forest, as if some animals felt the arrival of everyone and were vigilant.
The little guy on his shoulder also stopped gnawing on the wood, his head was raised, his nose shrugged slightly, and he chirped a few words.
Sure enough, there are animals living down there.
Everyone watched as he touched his chin and stepped forward to ask what he was going to do next.
Wang Yang pondered slightly and decided to go down.
He found Zhang San, took off the wooden barrel, came to the edge, and smashed the unstable snow layer with the wooden barrel, and the snow fell in a torrent.
"Meow~"
At this moment, a cat meow came, Wang Yang hurriedly retreated, observed carefully, and thought to himself, isn't it, there are fierce beasts in such a small forest?
In this world, felines are all very successful killers, and they have always stood at the top of the food chain, and Wang Yang has seen many kinds of big cats, and he treats them very carefully.
I saw that there were no cats below, but on the rock wall, a cat's head suddenly appeared.
"Meow~!"
It looked at Wang Yang and shouted.
Wang Yang grinned and learned to meow, to the effect: "You see that I can also meow, we are our own people......" (to be continued......)
