Chapter 22: Embattled

Long Xi didn't have time to think about it, so he threw the dozen or so dead branches he was holding in his arms towards the fierce golden eagle.

For a moment, the golden eagle nimbly dodged.

It adjusted its tail feathers, hovered one by one, and rested steadily on a thicker branch, its eyes burning, and it refused to give up its prey easily.

Long Xi ran over and looked at the roaring snow leopard lying on the ground, it was bloodied from the attack, but it was difficult to hide the beauty of its fur.

Although Long Xi took pity on the snow leopard, although she had external hemostatic medicine on her, she did not dare to approach it.

It's not a rabbit or a kitten, it's so fierce that it can even be eaten by humans!

Just as he was hesitating, the golden eagle's claws suddenly glared at the trunk of a big tree, and with the help of this rebound, it flew over, and its hard beak pecked at Long Xi's hand.

"Hmm......" Long Xi was in pain, and red blood flowed from his snow-white little hands.

The sounds of eagles around them came and went.

Long Xi raised his head and looked at the figures on the thick branches of the towering trees around him, and his small mouth instantly opened into an O-shape.

On the trees around Longxi, there are a total of four golden eagles, one large and three small, it is estimated that a female eagle wears three small eagles.

It is also the first time to see this bird in real life, they have gorgeous feathers, beautiful flight posture, and strong attack power.

In all fairness, there's nothing wrong with them attacking the snow leopard. They are just hungry and want to eat meat.

And their eyes seemed to be all focused on the snow leopard on the ground in front of Long Xi at the moment, and this atmosphere of preparation told Long Xi that she and the snow leopard on the ground were in a state of embattlement at this moment.

Long Xi obviously felt that the cold sweat on his body was gradually getting worse, and he didn't stare at those eagles anymore, just wanted to escape with the snow leopard on the ground.

The eagle with two white feathers that was the first to attack Long Xi flew into the blue sky, circled, found the right angle, and swooped down diagonally from mid-air, its hard beak and accurately pecked at the same place on Long Xi's hand, and the wound that had been pecked just now was bleeding from its second invasion.

Long Xi didn't have time to take care of the heartache, picked up a big stone and smashed it at the eagle, and the eagle was unwilling to obey and bit her neck directly.

"Forehead ......" Long Xi bit his lip and blocked its attack with a stone.

The three eagles all learned from their mother eagle and flew over to attack her, as if she had become their prey.

In an instant, she felt the breath of death!

Do you want to run away now?

However, Long Xi had already decided to save the snow leopard she didn't know, just because she had a kind and compassionate heart.

The snow leopard was also strange, at this time it could have taken advantage of the chaos to escape, but it lay on the ground motionless. Could it be that his foot is injured and he can't run?

The four ferocious eagles assisted each other and formed a team to attack her, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a storm and a siege.

At the critical moment, the savior hero Mo Kun stepped on the seven-colored cloud and appeared again.

He spewed fireballs out of his hand and smashed them at the eagles.

Beasts are naturally afraid of fire, and soon the four eagles retreated. However, they still perched on the taller branches, staring at each other, as if they would make a comeback at the slightest flaw.

Long Xi said gratefully to Mo Kun: "Fortunately, I have you!"

Mo Kun frowned, "Didn't you tell you not to run? I won't be able to make yourself so embarrassed in a while! I can't do it myself, and I have to be a hero!"

Long Xi spits out his cute tongue.

She took out the Yunnan white ointment to stop bleeding and wanted to apply it to the snow leopard, but she didn't dare to meet its amber eyes and gloomy gaze.

The snow leopard opened its mouth and let out a low roar, as if to say, "Go away! Don't disturb me!

Long Xi couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved. Didn't I have the kindness to save you? Why don't you appreciate it?

Mo Kun said to the snow leopard, "Don't move, we are here to save you!"

The snow leopard immediately closed its mouth obediently like a big cat, but it looked like it was loveless, and closed its eyes.

Long Xi said to Mo Kun: "I'll help it clean its wounds first." ”

Mokun shrugged indifferently.

She tentatively picked up the snow leopard. It didn't move, it didn't even lift its eyelids.

However, Long Xi's movements froze all of a sudden.

She looked in amazement at the ground that had been covered by the snow leopard, another smaller snow leopard with beautiful brown circular markings.

Originally...... It is protecting the corpses of its own kind...... No wonder it is always reluctant to leave!

The snow leopard on the ground was lying on its back, clearly showing no signs of survival. On closer inspection, it is not difficult to identify that it is the same species as the injured snow leopard. Moreover, it has a meniscus spot on its forehead, isn't it the snow leopard that gave the lamb?

Half an hour ago, it was alive! It used to play dead, and now it's really dead?

Long Xi carried the snow leopard in his arms to the lake, washed the wound with the clear lake water, and then applied medicine.

She found that the snow leopard's two forelimbs were much shorter than the two hind limbs, and she didn't know if it was a natural deformity or what the reason was.

She carried it back to the snow leopard's carcass

She knew that it didn't want to leave its kind. It once used its life to protect the corpses of its kind!

The snow leopard opened its eyes all at once.

It desperately supported its body on its two front legs, as if with the last of its strength, desperately moving towards the snow leopard's corpse, and then trying to return to its previous appearance, covering and warming the already frozen, stiff corpse on the ground with its own body.

Long Xi faced the shocking scene in front of him, and obviously felt a tremor in his heart.

In Long Xi's eyes, this behavior did not feel sensational and powerless, but felt extremely beautiful, so beautiful that it was suffocating, and even a trace of pain emerged......

Long Xi was unexpectedly able to read the snow leopard's state of mind at this moment.

Mo Kun stood on a large rock in the distance, quietly watching Long Xi. He couldn't understand Long Xi's mood. In his opinion, isn't the law of survival the law of survival of nature and even human society? If you can save a while, you can't save a lifetime, this snow leopard is born disabled, and it is already a miracle that it can live to adulthood!

He couldn't help but think of the past. When he was very young, he was forced by the cruel reality to fight to the death with the enemy at all times!

When he was stunned, those golden eagles in the trees spread their wings and rushed towards the snow leopard carcass on the ground.

At this moment, Long Xi fell to the ground, embracing the snow leopard on the ground with all his strength, protecting its corpse with his own body, not realizing what he had done at all.
