Chapter 44: Xiong Batian, who forgot to hibernate
Xiong Batian discovered the existence of the big cat, and similarly, the big cat also found him and Xiong Dabao, as well as the two reindeer corpses for the first time.
On the other side, the seven or eight wild wolves that had been fleeing quickly also stopped at this moment, and their green eyes all fell on the carcasses of the two reindeer.
The smell of blood filled the air, and the atmosphere of the place suddenly became oppressive.
"Yo, you're going to block the road?" Seeing the actions of the big cat and the wild wolf, Xiong Batian grinned and suddenly became interested.
Xiong Dabao on the side was a little nervous, holding the reindeer carcass and slowly approaching Xiong Batian, and at the same time looking at the two uninvited guests who suddenly appeared vigilantly, bowing slightly, ready to fight at any time.
"Don't be nervous, it's just a big cat and a few puppies!" Looking at his nervous demeanor, Xiong Batian roared lightly, and sat directly on the ground, ready to see what these guys were going to do.
Xiong Dabao put down the reindeer in his mouth, and then leaned on Xiong Batian's back, staring at the wild wolves behind him for Xiong Batian, still maintaining a posture that could burst out at any time.
The three parties did not act rashly, they were constantly looking at the other two, the difference is that Xiong Batian just wanted to take a few more glances at the big cat, while the other two parties have been evaluating the strength comparison between each other.
After observing each other, the big cat, which was vigilant by nature, was the first to react, it stared at Xiong Batian while bypassing from the side, and it seemed that it did not intend to make a move on Xiong Batian.
Seeing this, Xiong Batian was not surprised.
His body, which is more than two meters tall and weighs 1,500 kilograms, is almost like a small mountain, and unless the big cat is completely insane, he will be targeted.
However, when Xiong Batian was praising the big cat's clever choice in his heart, this guy was halfway around. Suddenly stopped, staring at Xiong Dabao beside him, and the reindeer corpse that Xiong Dabao had held before.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Xiong Batian seems to see its meaning from its gaze: You can leave, but you have to leave a prey!
After understanding the big cat's eyes, Xiong Batian's idea of watching the play immediately dissipated.
He slowly stood up, shook his head slightly, turned around, and stared at the big cat.
Without any threatening gestures and low roars, the big cat felt a strong threatening aura and involuntarily took several steps back.
Oh~
When it stopped, it let out a furious tiger roar at Xiong Batian, as if it was annoyed and angry.
I have to say that in terms of the deterrent effect of sound alone, big cats are absolutely second to none, and ordinary creatures suddenly hear their voices, and it is estimated that even the soul will be frightened.
Just like those wild wolves, at the moment when the big cat roared, they completely uncontrollably clamped their tails and retreated again and again.
Roar~
At this time, Xiong Batian suddenly stood up and let out an even more violent roar.
This sound, without other characteristics, is just one word - big!
Before several wild wolves could recover from the roar of the tiger, they were frightened by his roar, and one of them was even frightened to the point of dung and urine.
At this moment, these wild wolves finally woke up, whether it was a big cat or a bear Batian, it was not an existence that they could provoke, so they didn't dare to stay here anymore, and all of them quickly disappeared into the woods with their tails between their legs.
The big cat was also taken aback by Xiong Batian's roar, but after all, it was the king of beasts, and it was not as embarrassed as a few wild wolves, but its eyes looked at Xiong Batian more vigilant and vigilant.
After some hesitation, it finally gave up on the delicious reindeer carcass, and disappeared into the woods with a few ups and downs.
"I don't know if this guy is passing by occasionally, or if he is going to settle here, if the latter, it will probably be a little troublesome!" Looking at the back of the big cat leaving, Xiong Batian groaned slightly.
Soon, however, he shook his head and stopped dwelling on the issue.
If the big cat just happened to pass by, he wouldn't pay attention, but if the other party was going to make a home here, whether it was for his own food or the safety of the two cubs, he wouldn't sit idly by.
He has self-confidence and the ability to defend his territory.
……
Time is in a hurry, and another half a month has passed.
September is over, October is coming, and the pace of winter is quietly approaching.
Without warning, when Xiong Batian woke up from his sleep and walked out of the cave, the sky and the earth were already covered with snow, the trees were still green, but they were covered with a thick layer of snow, the river froze, and the green grassland was buried under the snow.
"It's a bit big this winter!" Looking at the snow-white world outside, Xiong Batian came back to his senses for a long time.
At this time of year, there is at most light snow, and it is only in mid-October, or even at the end of October, that there is heavy snowfall. But now, in just one night, it has been completely flooded with snow, and it has become a veritable 'snow world'.
"By the way, I seem to have forgotten a very important thing, at this time in previous years, I should have returned to my original territory and started to prepare for hibernation!"
After coming back to his senses, Xiong Batian's head suddenly shook, and the whole bear was a little stunned.
At this time of year, the salmon population has completed its migration, and most of the herbivores here migrate to other more resourceful places to spend the winter.
So, every year he leaves here and returns to his original territory to hibernate and return to it in June of the following year, when the salmon returns.
But this time, he completely forgot about going back to his original territory.
The reason is also very simple, because the food in this place is not as scarce as in previous years, and it can even be said that it is countless, even if he goes out to hunt once a day, and he will succeed, but until now, the number of prey in this area is not only not less, but has a tendency to increase more and more!
"Perhaps, this year we can survive this winter without hibernation!"
Thinking of this, an idea that would be crazy for a brown bear appeared in Xiong Batian's mind.
And, more and more.
Why did he hibernate in previous years?
Quite simply, because there are few prey in winter, it will not only take a lot of time to find food, but also consume a lot of physical strength and fat, and if one is not careful, he may starve to death in the ice and snow.
But now, the number of prey is not only not less, but there is a trend of more and more, so why hibernate at all?!
Xiong Batian's current strength is not known to be many times stronger than this time last year, although it is difficult to hunt in winter, but it is no problem for him at all.
"Just do it, first try to hunt, save a little dry food, if you can survive the winter, if you can't survive, you can hibernate directly here, I believe you can survive until spring!"
After pondering for a while, Xiong Batian made a decision.
"If you decide to stay here, then there is a problem that needs to be solved first!" After making a decision, Xiong Batian's mind appeared with the figure of the big cat he saw half a month ago.
After half a month of observation, Xiong Batian has determined that the big cat did not pass by here by chance, but regarded this place as his own territory and was ready to settle here.
He wants to spend the winter here, so the big cat has to leave!
