Chapter 12: The Exquisite Rat
The black shadow that suddenly escaped frightened Fang Yun, but he didn't care about it immediately, it should be a mouse, or some other small animal, in short, it was unlikely to pose a threat to himself.
He was going to spend the night in this hollow, and if the rain stopped tomorrow, he would go elsewhere to see if there was a suitable place for him to live, and when he found it, he would return it to its original owner.
If the weather doesn't clear tomorrow, he'll stay here for more.
After thinking for a while, Fang Yun gathered his thoughts, calmed down, and prepared to sleep.
He felt that this tree hole was very comfortable to lie on, there seemed to be a fluff or something under his body, very soft and warm, as an ectothermic animal, Fang Yun felt that such a resting place was simply too comfortable.
It wasn't long before a wave of fatigue came to his mind, and he fell into a deep sleep.
……
The next morning, Fang Yun woke up early, and at this moment, there was already an influx of light in the tree hole.
But just as he was about to examine the structure of the tree hole, his attention was suddenly drawn to a shrill cry.
"Squeak! Creak! ”
Fang Yun raised his head and looked towards the entrance of the cave, only to see that at the entrance of the tree cave at this moment, there was a small furry animal that was constantly screaming at him, as if it was scolding.
Seeing this little animal, Fang Yun couldn't help but be happy.
It's a little squirrel.
"Targeted, long-snouted squirrels, mammals, rodents, provide twenty bio-energy."
Hearing the voice of the system in his head, Fang Yun was slightly surprised, this squirrel could provide a lot of biological energy, more than the mother rat he had killed last night.
However, when he looked at the size of this squirrel carefully, it became clear that the size of this squirrel was about twenty centimeters, which looked bigger than the mother rat yesterday.
It's just that he doesn't have the idea of preying on this squirrel, the squirrel is agile, and it is not easy to catch them.
And it was he who forcibly occupied the other party's nest so that he could have a good night's sleep last night.
Be kind, and be a snake.
Therefore, after Fang Yun glanced at the squirrel for a few moments, he withdrew his gaze, and then looked around in the nest.
I couldn't help but be stunned at this look.
Because in this tree hole, there are a lot of hairs spread at the bottom, rabbit down, wool......
What a sophisticated rat.
Fang Yun sighed in his heart, this squirrel is really smart and knows how to decorate his nest.
No wonder I felt warm when I slept last night.
On the other side, he also saw a lot of tree seeds such as pine cones and chestnuts piled up, and the squirrels have the habit of storing food, and this pile of pine cones and chestnuts is the stock of the squirrel.
Retracting his gaze, Fang Yun crawled out towards the entrance of the cave, he was about to immediately investigate the situation in this area.
The squirrel at the entrance of the cave saw Fang Yun crawling over at this moment, thinking that the latter was going to hunt it, so he immediately slipped away, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Fang Yun climbed to the entrance of the cave, then raised his eyes to look out, and the surrounding scenery immediately fell into his field of vision.
The rain hadn't stopped, but it was much lighter, and he could see everything around him.
At this time, he also discovered that the big tree he was currently on was a huge pine tree, with a diameter at breast height longer than his body, estimated to be two meters long.
The canopy of the tree is extremely large, covering a distance of about ten meters around it, and the branches are luxuriant, and the pine needles are verdant, showing the vigorous vitality of this pine tree.
In addition, the area where he was currently located was extremely densely wooded, with a canopy next to each other, and very few empty lots.
This area is almost entirely evergreen trees, mostly camphor and pine.
A hundred meters to his right, however, was a meadow, with only a few shrubs.
The terrain of this meadow is very flat, as if one slope has sunk, and at the other end is a steep cliff with bare gray-white rocks.
Only on the dark side of some raised stones grows some emerald green moss.
"Squeak! Creak! ”
A shrill cry broke Fang Yun's thoughts, and his gaze looked not far to the right, only to see a branch on the other side, where the squirrel from before was standing there, baring his teeth at himself.
"Squeak! Creak! ”
Seeing Fang Yun looking at it, this squirrel screamed even more.
Fang Yun was upset when he heard this, so he poked his head over there and made an attacking gesture.
"Squeak!"
The squirrel on the branch immediately screamed in fright, shook its body, staggered twice, and fell straight to the ground.
Smack!
The squirrel fell to the ground and let out a scream, but it was covered with soft moss and thick fur, so it didn't fall and hurt it.
And after seeing this scene, Fang Yun on the trunk couldn't help but grin.
Hehe, fool.
After calming down, Fang Yun began to think about his next survival problem, it was still raining at the moment, and he couldn't find a suitable place to live.
And he didn't know if the area was suitable for his own survival.
When looking for a place to settle, there are two important points to consider.
The first is that the nest is hidden enough, and the size should be moderate, not too small, not too big, to prevent predators from burrowing into the hole and attacking themselves.
Another point is to have plenty of food.
He looked at the rain, and it didn't stop yet, so he had to go back to the hollow of the tree.
At this moment, the air in the mountains and forests was quite cold, which made him very uncomfortable, and it was more comfortable to lie between the pile of rabbit down and wool.
As for a place to live, it's not too late to wait until the weather clears.
But what he didn't expect was that this heavy rain actually fell for seven days in a row.
He had not gone out hunting for seven days, but one afternoon he saw a bird on the ground not far from the pine tree, whose wings had been wet by the rain.
And this little bird provided him with ten points of biological energy.
It is worth mentioning that when he returned from devouring the bird, he found a figure rushing out of the hole in the tree, which was the squirrel whose nest had been seized by himself.
It didn't leave during this time, and at night Fang Yun didn't know where it went, so it probably stayed on the branches to rest.
And in the daytime, he either stood at the hole of the tree hole and looked at himself with resentment, or stared at himself when he climbed out of the tree hole to breathe.
At first, Fang Yun thought that this thing was going to go into the nest to rest, but then he saw the squirrel holding a chestnut and gnawing it.
It turned out to be going into the nest to get food.
And from then on, Fang Yun would leave the tree hole for a while every day, leaving time for the squirrel to go into the hole to get food.
In seven days, just eating a small bird made Fang Yun's heart a little irritable.
But after seven days, the weather finally cleared.
