The survival instinct of the creature is a difficult thing to figure out, and the stag really didn't notice Ye Qianhu's existence, but the lowered head still raised and swept privately uneasily, but this vigilance was not enough for it to make an escape move.

It was a beautiful stag with a strong body, and the antlers on its head branched out like a crown that belonged to it.

Alice came behind her, a hand on her shoulder from behind, Ye Qianhu didn't look back at her, her eyes focused on the neck of the stag, where the hottest place was, where the pulse beat the strongest.

The body tensed slightly, bowed, and his eyes were fixed on the stag more than twenty meters away, and he jumped lightly without making a sound, easily escaping the distance between them.

It was only at this time that the deer herd discovered Ye Qianhu's existence, but it was already too late, the stag was just about to stand up and was pounced on by Ye Qianhu, precisely where the blood flowed between the neck, it was as easy as a blade cutting butter, and its instinctive struggle was insignificant under Ye Qianhu's powerful strength.

When the stag was pounced, the rest of the pack fled in terror, rampage through the forest on a rainy night, and no one paid any attention to them. Alice didn't mean to hunt, she was just admiring Ye Qianhu's hunting.

The taste of stag blood was far inferior to that of Bella's blood that I had tasted before, but it was just as warm, and when a large gulp of blood flowed through my throat, it immediately soothed the unbearable hunger and thirst in my body.

The stale's resistance gradually disappeared, and its strength and life had flowed with the blood in its body, like in Ye Qianhu's body, and the sorrow of dying was completely covered by the gurgling sound of blood. This cold body, moistened by the blood, seemed to begin to warm up, starting from the throat and spreading all over the body, and even the tips of the fingers could feel this intoxicating warmth.

The stag had already died before the blood had dried up, but the vampires in this world obviously did not have the rule that they could not suck the blood of dead things, and the taste of the blood had not changed, as always, it brought Ye Qianhu a sense of satisfaction.

When the blood dried up, Ye Qianhu pushed away the stag's corpse in disgust, and the hunger and thirst in his body immediately ignited again after losing the comfort of blood. A stag actually has a lot of blood, but Ye Qianhu knows very well that he is far from full.

"The first hunt, it was a success," commented Alice, who was standing beside him, "no blood everywhere, no soiled clothes, almost perfect, like you've done this work many times." ”

Ye Qianhu said: "Don't you need to hunt? ”

Alice leaned on the trunk of the tree, anyway, the clothes on her body were already soaked, so she had a lot less scruples, and Wen Yan replied: "I only had breakfast this morning, generally speaking, if I don't feel hungry, I won't hunt, I have to think about the future, don't you, I can't let the big animals here go extinct." ”

Nodding, Ye Qianhu said, "But I still need more blood." ”

"There are a lot of deer here that will satisfy your requirements."

"What about carnivores?"

"Cougars, I've hunted them, but there aren't many of them, and the weather is harder to find now, so it's a matter of luck."

"I've always had good luck."

"I don't have an opinion on that."

The hunt continued, the cougar was not in a hurry to look for it, Ye Qianhu continued to hunt these "stinky" herbivores, just like Alice said, there are many deer here, like a few escaped from here just now.

There was no need to go far at all, even on a rainy day, the smell left by those deer when they fled was still obvious in his sense of smell, following this fishy smell, Ye Qianhu quickly obtained a large amount of blood from his second and third prey to satisfy his hunger, and then continued to look for new prey.

Interestingly, predators are far less abundant in this very vast hunting area than in their natural state, as the Cullens have taken their place.

Here, the Cullens are the creatures at the top of the food chain, and even if they are dangerous carnivores in the jungle, they are just more delicious food in the hands of the Cullens. The lack of carnivores facilitates the reproduction of herbivores for a short period of time, and then the presence of the Cullens limits the number of herbivores from exceeding the limits of the environment.

It can be said that the existence of the Cullen family has become part of the normal cycle in this natural environment.

And as Alice said, they don't hunt for the sake of predation, and this kind of life for a long time has long made them understand that they can't fish for the sake of fishing.

At the beginning, Alice was also going to teach Ye Qianhu the skills of hunting, in her opinion, she also had nearly a hundred years of hunting experience, and she was always much more powerful than Ye Qianhu, a novice. However, after the hunt began, he found that he only needed to follow behind, and even many times if it wasn't for Ye Qianhu deliberately slowing down, it would be difficult for him to even catch up with the other party.

Ye Qianhu told Alice that his luck was good, and the facts seemed to prove it, and the cougar, which was already very rare here, really happened to meet one after Ye Qianhu drained the blood of the fifth elk.

Unlike the timid elk, when the cougar found that Ye Qianhu was approaching it, he did not turn around and flee, but was angry after being provoked.

But in fact, the cougar's anger was meaningless to Ye Qianhu, not even a minimum fight, the sharp claws slashed through Ye Qianhu's body, leaving no scars, and his teeth could not pierce his skin. On the contrary, Ye Qianhu was able to easily bite through its throat and draw blood from the body of this predator.

This cougar drew a perfect end to Ye Qianhu's hunt tonight, Alice was right, carnivore blood is indeed much tastier than herbivores, although it is still far from being comparable to human blood.

"Of course, it's even more delicious, because of his eating habits, the blood is closer to the taste of humans. It's a pity that there is one less cougar here. ”

Under a tall spruce tree, Alice and Ye Qianhu sat snuggled together, the dense branches and leaves above their heads barely shielded them from some rain, although it was still damp, but it was much better than standing directly under the rain curtain before.

Compared with the beginning, the clothes on Ye Qianhu's body are soaked, and there is an extra tear on his shoulder that was caught by a cougar, and the rest is not the same as before, for vampires, hunting is so simple, this forest is simply their restaurant.

The amount of blood he had drunk today was so much that he was surprised that it was the first time he knew that his body could hold so much food. The hunger and thirst are gone, and for the time being, it may be before it returns. In fact, now that there is blood in front of him, he can still continue to drink it, not because of hunger, but simply for the satisfaction that blood brings. He also knew that this thirst for blood would stay with him for a long time to come, becoming a part of his body until it no longer remained in the state of a vampire.

Alice's small but smooth palm was stroked and played with by him and me, and after becoming a vampire, I found that the vampire's skin had such a good touch.

Hearing Alice say this, Ye Qianhu said with a smile: "If you like the taste of carnivores, you can try to keep these animals in captivity, just like the zoo does, artificial breeding, as long as the scale is formed, you can get a steady stream of blood." ”

Alice tilted her head and put it on Ye Qianhu's shoulder, rubbed her body to the side, and said softly: "There is definitely no taste of wild animals, and the health status of animals will also affect the taste of blood, and don't you think the process of hunting is also a kind of fun." ”

"Yes, you have to find something fun to do in a long life, or you will definitely go crazy." Ye Qianhu said.

Alice touched Ye Qianhu's shoulder with her head, "It's like you've been living for a long, long time." ”

"No, but there are always examples in various stories where you lose your purpose when you live and live, and then choose to give up your life or become a pervert. I have come across an example of someone who begged for death because he was afraid of becoming the latter. Ye Qianhu couldn't help but think of the black panther in Wakanda, who took so much vibranium with the acquiescence of the other party, and the price he needed to pay was to give him death when he had the ability, this kind of thing, even if he said it, no one would believe it.

Alice believed it, because this was what Ye Qianhu said.

This rain has been raining for a long time, and there is still no intention of stopping in a short time, Ye Qianhu sighed and said slowly: "This day is really bizarre enough, suddenly it became a vampire, hunting, and there is such a beautiful vampire who took the initiative to come up to help, especially the last point, it's incredible, isn't it?" ”

"Am I being too enthusiastic?" Alice squinted her eyes and rubbed Ye Qianhu's shoulder as if demonstratively.

Ye Qianhu shook his head and said, "I almost thought about what happened, just guessing, I still hope to get the answer from your mouth, all." ”

"By the way, I love the feeling of being with you, you make me feel so relaxed."

Not surprised, Alice had already guessed that this would be the result, and said: "Because of my ability, it was in 1953, it seems that it was that year, I foresaw that in the future they would live together as Carlisle, so I found them." ”

"Does this have anything to do with me?" Ye Qianhu asked.

Alice gave him a blank look, "It's coming soon, it's you who need to know everything." ”

"I've been living with them ever since, and the next year, I suddenly saw a clip and saw you."

Ye Qianhu didn't speak, and he wasn't too surprised, sure enough, it was really like this. I felt that if I hadn't taken the initiative to run back and change the past, it would only be because of Alice's ability to predict, and only these two reasons were most likely to cause today's result.

A hint of complexity flashed in Alice's eyes, and she said softly: "To others, what I see is just a picture of foresight, but for me, everything is something that really happened to me, an experience of my own, although this experience comes from the future. ”

"You may think it's ridiculous, but I knew I was going to be with you ever since, so I've been waiting for you, and I love the feeling of being with you in foresight, even if it's only for a dozen seconds."

"At first, I thought I only needed to wait for a few months, a few years at most, but I accidentally found that I had waited for more than ten years, and I still didn't meet you, but I got a new foreknowledge again, or with you, we hunted together."

"It's like someone spilling breadcrumbs on me, guiding me little by little, and giving me new expectations when I'm about to lose patience."

"In other words, after so many years, you have been waiting for me," Ye Qianhu sighed.

"It's a pity that I can't tell the time and place when I look at the picture I saw at the beginning, and I've been worried for a long time that I will do something, such as going to the wrong place and you missed it, this kind of thing is not impossible, my prediction is subjective, as long as I move a little upstream, maybe it will completely change what happened in the prediction. The butterfly effect, or the principle of chaos, that's what Carlyle said, and he always knew the most. ”

"I suddenly feel guilty for keeping you alone for so long." Ye Qianhu held Alice's hand, strictly speaking, there is not much emotion or anything, so it is too hypocritical and too fake, just a little touching.

"No, I said, my foreknowledge gives me the feeling of personal experience, although the fragments of the foreknowledge in the following years are still out of my control, but they began to appear more and more, and it gives me the feeling that I have been living with you, which is very strange and real."

"Later, it was much better, and after seeing more, I realized that you really appeared a long time later, and I knew that it was in this town. So it's not like before I just wait, but I don't know when I have to wait, and I'm always worried that I will miss out on you because I did something wrong. Although the time of the meeting was a bit far away, at least I was given a deadline to let me know about the time and place where I should be waiting for you. ”

"Isn't it strange that the distance between us is measured by time."

"Tonight was the last time I foresaw you, and it turned out that you already knew, and saw you tasting human blood in the hospital, and then I came, and now sit with you. You see, it's not that there is nothing in vain. ”
