Chapter 22: On Protracted War (I)
It was getting late, and the red light of the setting sun sneaked into the forest through the dense leaves, mischievously shining on everything, reflecting their various ridiculous movements and expressions.
For example, under a certain tree, a blade-toothed tiger as big as a hill is roaring at the tree.
The reason is that there is a little orangutan in the tree.
And the little orangutan was also red-faced and red-eared, and kept scolding, and seemed to be very anxious.
"You bastard, get out when you're full, don't you go home, I still have to go home!"
"You're embarrassed! It's like I'm bullying you! I was the victim, and I was the one who didn't have to go home! ”
"Okay, I know you're lonely and want to find someone to accompany you, but we speak different languages and can't communicate, do you want to find a tigress? Really, it's on the first two hills, and I saw it last year. ”
Wang Yang tried his best to express his anger, grievances, and depression. What I wanted to say in my heart, as soon as I made a sound, it changed its taste, and I couldn't hear it clearly.
Doesn't he know very well whether the blade-toothed tiger can understand or not, doesn't he say that animals are sensitive to emotions? It doesn't take much effort to try anyway.
Speaking of which, he was really tragic this time.
The first few times, the Bladetooth Tiger chose to leave because he was looking for food.
But this time, because of a lynx, it could stay here for a day and nibble on two bites when it was hungry.
Whatever it said, it recognized itself and was determined to get rid of itself as an intruder.
It is also because of this that it is kept from daylight to dusk.
Wang Yang didn't dare to go down on the tree, and he couldn't think of a particularly good way to let it go, so he could only widen his eyes and curse.
He looked up and looked at the sky through the gap between the leaves, and the sunset in the distance was getting lower and lower, and he hid half of his body behind the mountain, and the red sun became a semicircle.
The sky is no longer shining, and some little stars that can't bear the loneliness have emerged and hung like jewels in the sky.
On the other side, the bright moon rises into the sky like a disk.
The scene is bizarre and wonderful, and you will have the illusion that there are two suns in the sky.
Back then, in the jungle of desire of reinforced concrete, who would pay attention to the amazing proximity?
It's a pity that Wang Yang is not in the mood to appreciate it.
He lowered his head and looked at the blade-toothed tiger that was squatting on the ground like a dog, waiting for his master, and he didn't get angry.
Naturally, he was a little worried about the forest after nightfall, and this was no joke.
Many animals like to be nocturnal and don't know why.
It would be silly to say that it was possible to sneak up on the ground in a nocturnal operation.
You can see it, it can see you, even if it can't see it, it smells you.
Isn't this the real-life version of covering your ears and stealing the bell?
Wang Yang didn't think much about this, he only knew that the forest at night was more dangerous.
The last time he spent the night in the depths of the forest, he came prepared and full of energy.
This time there is no preparation, and all sorts of surprises may occur.
And I don't have a wooden spear or bone spurs, what if a tree leopard climbs up from below, or another lynx comes?
He could only pray that the Bladetooth Tiger's stature was as powerful as its prestige.
Night came and went, and darkness covered the land.
"There are more stars tonight than sand, and the moon tonight is brighter than pearls."
Wang Yang used an inexplicable figure of speech to describe the weather tonight.
The soft moonlight penetrated through the layers of obstacles, revealing a few faint rays of white light.
The places where the light shines are very clear, you can see the dead leaves on the ground, and the other places where there is no light are pitch black.
Wang Yang was in the dark, he looked at the location of the blade-toothed tiger below, and vaguely saw a vague outline, as if he was lying on the ground and sleeping.
He couldn't help but think about running away.
But if you think about it, you still give up, not to mention whether the Bladetooth Tiger is really sleeping, just say that you are far away from the Bladetooth Tiger, or you still have to walk in the forest for a while, this section of the road has a high chance of being killed by other beasts, or...... Stepping on a snake......
So after thinking twice, he stopped thinking about it.
He focused all his attention on what was going on around him, listening in the darkness.
Under the dark sight, the forest seemed very quiet, and there was mostly the sound of "coughing" blown by the cold wind, which was a little cold on the body, and he shrank back, took out a fruit and ate it.
The "coughing" sounds are very illusory, due to the dense vegetation, there will be bursts of echoes, the sound is getting softer and softer, softer and softer, and finally it sounds like the sigh of a female ghost.
Fallen leaves are swept up and down, constantly "knowing", and it is difficult to tell whether there are animals moving.
Suddenly, there was a loud "thud" sound, as if some animal was walking among the bushes.
The sound was not far away, at most thirty meters away.
Wang Yang immediately became alert and paid full attention.
He knew quite well that the blood of the lynx, and the blood of the mole in his bag, would attract many animals to come and watch, and even fight.
If it's just wolves or wild dogs, it's harmless and won't pose a threat to you.
I'm afraid of creatures like leopards, dogs, and bears.
He wasn't sure if the Bladetooth had what it took to chase them away.
The sound of "bang" came closer, and it seemed that it was still approaching this way.
The unidentified creature moved cautiously, approaching very lightly.
And at this moment, the blade-toothed tiger is still asleep and has not woken up.
Wang Yang was a little nervous, he didn't have a wooden spear or bone spurs, so he could only take out a small stone and throw it over there.
"Boom"
The unidentified creature seemed to be frightened and ran away.
Wang Yang exhaled lightly, and his heart settled down slightly.
After a quiet period of time, Wang Yang was sleepy.
The eyelids became very heavy, the body was a little weak, the limbs were heavy, and I didn't want to move, I just wanted to close my eyes and sleep peacefully.
But he didn't dare to sleep, who knew what would happen in the next moment?
He pulled himself together and kept himself focused.
It didn't take long for there to be some movement around again.
It was the sound of crushing leaves, and it felt like a snake or something.
Wang Yang is most afraid of snakes, whether it is a poisonous snake or a tree python, it is extremely deadly.
But fortunately, when the voice was about twenty meters closer, he noticed the existence of the blade-toothed tiger and turned away.
The next few times, it was about the same, and the animals would leave when they saw the saber-toothed tiger guarding the carcass of the half of the lynx that was still left.
Wang Yang gradually calmed down, as long as there is a blade-toothed tiger, it is equivalent to having an extra guardian spirit, and ordinary animals will not approach.
Thinking of this, he felt that his eyelids were heavier, and decided to get some sleep, recuperate his energy, and fight the Bladetooth Tiger the next day.
He lowered his head and stumbled upon a spot where the moonlight fell.
There were two bright lights in that place, round and green, which seemed to float out of thin air, like two small glass balls, reflecting light, and they were ten meters away from him.
Wang Yang wiped his eyes, got closer, and found that he was not mistaken, and couldn't help but feel strange.
But suddenly, he only felt a chill down his spine, and the hairs on his body exploded.
It was a pair of eyes.
It's looking at it, and it's quietly looking at itself.
