038 Jackals
At about eight o'clock in the morning, Zhang Xiangyang and An Ran went down the bamboo ladder to the ground together and started today's task.
"Enron, Zhang Bin has calculated the approximate area of the vicinity, which one should we go to first?"
Zhang Xiangyang looked at An Ran, it is convenient to survive in the wild, An Ran is an expert, he is just an ordinary college student, and he should follow An Ran's advice when encountering things.
An Ran already had an idea, and walked out directly and said: "Go to the bamboo forest first, we haven't carefully investigated the bamboo forest, and now the activity area of the ape monster can't be easily suspected, the activity area of the wolves is on the northern slope, there are too many dangers hidden in the river, or the bamboo forest is relatively simple." ”
Zhang Xiangyang followed, and as he walked, he suddenly remembered something.
"An Ran, I forgot to tell you something, isn't there a bamboo rat in the bamboo forest we went to? I thought of one thing just now, the last time Wu Sang and I went to look for the body of the attacker, we saw some creatures that looked like rats, but they were even more terrifying, they didn't have tails, they were eating corpses at that time, and they weren't very afraid of people. ”
"Mouse ......" An Ran frowned, feeling very bad, "Well, I see." ”
Zhang Xiangyang saw that An Ran didn't say anything, so he hurriedly continued: "I didn't care about it before, but now that I think about it carefully, I remember that those are not ordinary mice, they are better at standing on the ground than ordinary mice, when I saw it at the time, those rats were lying on people's bodies with their paws, standing on the ground and biting corpses, each of which was probably the height at which ordinary rats were standing." ”
An Ran still didn't care, and explained: "Small animals don't take the initiative to attack creatures larger than their own bodies, and the end of that is to be eliminated naturally, the rats you said should be omnivores, if my prediction is correct, the activity area of those rats should be hidden near the cave, and there is no conflict with our range of activities for the time being." ”
Zhang Xiangyang believed Wu Sang's judgment, "Then we live in the mountains, doesn't it matter?" ”
"This is indeed a problem, but not only the rats, the animals will take the initiative or habitually approach the area where they can provide food, so don't feed the animals outside at will, and don't throw garbage when you are in the mountains, otherwise it is easy for the animals to have a food spot signal, which is very dangerous for us!"
An Ran also felt that he needed to remind the rest of the people about this after going back, and looked at the front helplessly at this time, "Really...... I can't think of many things for a while, and I don't realize that some things should be told to you in advance, but what Wu Sang and I know is our long-term accumulation, and it may all be transferred to you at once. ”
Zhang Xiangyang understands very well, "I understand, now I just follow you to learn hard." ”
An Ran smiled, "Then learn all my skills earlier." ”
"Good!" Zhang Xiangyang agreed.
As before, the two arrived safely in the bamboo forest.
"The animals in the neighborhood are not as dense as expected, and we haven't seen many animals as we walked around these days." Zhang Xiangyang looked at the nearby bamboo and made an optimistic comment.
An Ran did not take it lightly, and reminded: "Be careful, let's go up and take a look, since there are bamboo rats in this bamboo forest, and there are also rats like you mentioned nearby, then there must be small and medium-sized carnivores that feed on rats nearby." ”
The topography of the bamboo forest is a hillside, and within this large mountain, except for a few areas, most of them are slope-like maps, except near the river, there are few flat places.
This kind of terrain makes the vision very limited, and the human sense of hearing and smell is not keen.
An Ran's performance made Zhang Xiangyang also treat this area solemnly, holding a weapon in his hand, and closely following An Ran three meters away, while carefully observing the nearby bamboo forest.
The toughness of the bamboo is very good, and when the wind blows, the whole bamboo forest will rise and fall slowly like waves.
The rustling sound of bamboo leaves, the relatively quiet forest, and the shadow shrouded by the tall bamboo around him because of walking into the bamboo forest, made Zhang Xiangyang unconsciously have a sense of depression that the mountain rain was about to come.
An Ran stopped abruptly, turned his back to Zhang Xiangyang, and said in a suppressed voice: "Stop!" There's a jackal in front of us watching us! Look at the back, are there any other jackals? ”
Firewood? Zhang Xiangyang was a little puzzled, but there was no hesitation in his actions.
He quickly looked nearby and began to look for the dangerous animal in the green and gray bamboos and the weeds and plants all over the mountains.
The brain quickly realized what it was, it should be a jackal or a jackal!
His eyes kept looking for things that might exist, and he didn't find anything suspicious for a few seconds, just when Zhang Xiangyang wanted to tell An Ran that there was no, he suddenly found a blue eye peeking at him in the corner of his eye.
His heart tightened, and when Zhang Xiangyang looked carefully, he saw that it was a gray-yellow creature the size of a domestic dog, and when its body was in the dead leaves and grass, it was actually very conspicuous, but if you looked closely, you would find that the other party and the surrounding environment were integrated.
Zhang Xiangyang knew the specific appearance of this creature, so when he searched again, he quickly found the rest of the hidden hunters.
"I found three, I don't know how many, I'm good at hiding!" Zhang Xiangyang quickly reported his situation.
Unlike the last time he acted with Wu Sang, Zhang Xiangyang was more inclined to listen to An Ran's command at this time.
I haven't thought about the specific reason, it's just that feeling, maybe Wu Sang and Enron have different styles, and Enron gives people a more obvious impression of being a wilderness survival expert.
Enron wasn't sure about the right choice at the moment, the creatures in the outside world should have experienced a mass extinction, and the remaining creatures were all inherited from extremely harsh conditions, and the habits of the creatures he knew, were they really the same?
"Scare them off, retreat for the time being!" Enron made a safe choice, these creatures should have never seen humans, and they are unlikely to attack when encountering large creatures.
Unless......
Zhang Xiangyang quickly said a bad fact, "I'm afraid it's a little difficult, those things in the back came out of the bushes, and it seems that they treat us as prey." ”
An Ran moved his fingers holding the weapon and corrected: "It's not the prey, it's the intruder!" Now that we're in their territory, don't think about scaring them away, it's unrealistic, since these jackals are social animals, they will take the initiative to attack some large creatures in order to get food more effectively. ”
Zhang Xiangyang said helplessly: "Didn't you just say that small animals won't attack large animals, otherwise you will kill yourself?" ”
Listening to the words without the slightest fear, An Ran took out the stone axe from his waist and said helplessly: "Don't talk back to your boss." ”
