132. Meet the "Salon" (Thanks to Leng Lingxin for the Diamond)
When he was sure that there was no second yak around, he decided to get out of the car one after another, and he wanted me to stay in the car, but I said to him, "I am better at dealing with emergencies than you can with any animal." When he heard this, he was silent and did not object to me getting out of the car.
As I approached step by step, I could almost confirm that the yak had lost its breath, but anyone would have wondered, why did it suddenly die in a moment when it was as fierce as a tiger and had crazy attack power?
This doubt was not answered. The yak was dead, but there were no visible scars on its exposed body, and in a very short time, its limbs began to stiffen. After walking around it one after another, try to analyze: "Could it be that there is some wound under its body that caused its death?" ”
I shook my head and said, "It's unlikely, it's so big, if it's just an ordinary scar, then it's not enough to cause death." If the wound had been fatal, there would have been blood on the way, but as we walked from the side of the car, there was no suspicious sign on the sand except for its hoof prints. If you don't believe it, you can dig sand under it. ”
He didn't really dig up the sand to prove it, but he chose to trust my judgment and made a second judgment: "Could it be that you died because of the extremely sharp and piercing sound you just made?" ”
I was amused: "Do you think I'm a voice-controlled killer?" The sound transmitted to the animal's brain is just a command, how can it be killed? Feeling a little embarrassed one after another, "I'm just guessing based on the analysis of the situation, hehe." It's dead, but the underlying danger is still there, and we're in this valley of death, and we can't afford to be careless about any particular phenomenon. ”
Hearing that he made sense, I observed for a moment and told the answer in my heart: "This is a wild yak, it is said that this yak occupies the king position in this kind of realm, and even some snow leopards, black bears and other fierce beasts are not necessarily its opponents, and they have to retreat when they see it." Judging by some of its old wounds and the toughness of its horns, it should have been battle-hardened. Maybe last night's sand storm broke it up with the yak team, and it ran all night in the wind, crashing around, and when it appeared in our sight, it was already in a whole frenzy. ”
Speaking of this, he interjected one after another: "You mean it's exhausting?" It's unlikely, a yak so strong that even if it runs all night, it won't be exhausted to death. ”
"It is true that an ordinary prime-aged yak will not, but it is old, so old that it is almost running out of oil, and then a night of vigorous madness hastened its death, and just now it has accumulated the last of its strength to attack us. When I use audio to soothe its emotions and force it to drink it back, my nerves relax like a human being, all the potential is exhausted, and then I am greeted by slowly closing my eyes. ”
One after another looked at me in amazement: "How do you know it's old?" Do animals get wrinkles too? ”
There was a black line on his forehead, and I chose not to answer his ghost question. There are many ways to see the age of an animal, the thickness of the soles of its feet, the degree of wear and tear of its horns, and the color of its coat, etc., in short, animals are similar to people, and their age will be revealed in some part. As for the long wrinkles that have been said one after another, it is pure nonsense.
He didn't break the casserole and asked, but dragged me to the car, "Go back, since there is a wild yak here, it means that we will meet a herd, and we must leave this place immediately." ”
I thought of this problem too, and I quickened my pace and followed him forward, and when I got into the car, I noticed that he looked carefully at all four wheels, glanced at the back window again, and then let out a low curse before getting into the seat and starting the car. The start was quite smooth, it was incredible, and the wind blew all night, but it didn't let the wheels get stuck in the sand.
Successively seemed to know the doubts in my heart, and said while skillfully changing gears: "This is Kunlun Mountain, a canyon in the snow-capped mountains, which is different from the desert in Xinjiang, the sand here is wet, and the bottom of the sand layer is even more frozen into ice, so don't look at the wind so strong last night, at most it lifted the sand on the surface." Xiao Jiu, you see, although I am not a sand walker, I still know about these common senses, so don't listen to people's fools, whether it is a donkey or a horse, you have to take it out and slip away to know. ”
I frowned, it sounded very reasonable, how did I turn there at the end?
After that, the wild yak herd did not see, but saw a group of Tibetan antelopes, they were like birds and beasts scattered around, you can find that in the chaos they are deliberately avoiding our car, but one of them hit the front of the car in an unknown direction, and one after another braked sharply, and both of them bounced forward. The sheep did not crash into it, but probably frightened its legs weak, fell in front of the cart, and quickly got up and ran away.
One after another, he asked: "Animal experts, take a look, what's wrong with them?" ”
I am an animal expert, just by virtue of the ability to survive since childhood to observe those animals, according to the situation in front of me, this group of sheep seems to be frightened, not because of the wind last night, but like some fierce beast chasing them, naturally think of the wild yak. After I talked to him one after another, he said with a stern face: "I try to get around them, you keep an eye on the nearby hills, see if there are any caves to hide, for fear that this car will not be able to stop a group of such majestic and fierce animals." It's really a disadvantage, and before I can drive much into it, the car may be scrapped here. ”
I understood what he meant, maybe the animals in this environment rarely see foreign objects, so our car has become a unique existence in their eyes, and even a hidden threat. The old yak that went crazy before and the Tibetan antelope now have two completely different reactions, and I take it for granted that wild yaks are naturally aggressive, and their first reaction when they see unknown creatures is to attack; And the Tibetan antelope is naturally timid, so it is naturally avoided. But our cars weren't the cause of their running around, there were probably more terrifying creatures.
His eyes swept around, but he didn't see a second creature appear, and his thoughts turned between the lights and flints, and he shouted urgently: "Stop!" "Hit the brakes one after another, "What's wrong?" Do you see a place to hide? I shook my head lightly, the chill in my heart became stronger and stronger, and I said in a voice that couldn't be softer: "One after another, why do you think this flock of sheep is running?" ”
He replied with a confused face: "I guess I've never seen a car and I'm afraid." ”
I just thought so, and his thoughts coincided with mine. But in these tens of seconds, the sheep ran crazy and formed a strange circle, as if they were spinning around our car. So at that moment, the aura split into my brain, and I found that I was arbitrary, and the problem was in this car. asked one after another: "Xiao Jiu, what's wrong?" ”
Knowing that with his acuity I could smell something different, I put my index finger to my lips and made a silent gesture, then pointed to my ear and motioned for him to listen carefully. Just now, because of the chaos of the scene and the sound of the car engine, it interfered with my hearing ability, but then I calmed down and listened, and soon caught a trace of the slightest sound, coming from ...... Below.
His face turned pale, and if I hadn't misjudged, the creatures that caused the sheep to panic were either from the sand under our bodies or from the chassis clinging to the underneath the car. And I'm more inclined to the latter!
The only creature that could be thought of attaching to the underside of the car was the most common lizard in the desert, but it was not known that this animal could survive in such an extremely cold climate. And to cause such a big panic in the flock, I'm afraid this thing won't be too small.
No doubt I heard it one after another, and he reached over and wrote in the palm of my hand: there was movement under the car. I smiled wryly and nodded to know and even figured out why this thing was under our body. Presumably it was last night when the wind was blowing, the temperature was also extremely cold, and the car was in a state of fuel because the air conditioner was turned on, and the bottom of the body was more or less warm than elsewhere, so it caused this disaster.
There is no fear beyond this moment, listening to the sound of the slightest swimming, judging by the area of the sound, its size is extremely large. I'm really afraid that in the next second, the car will suddenly be overturned, and we can't just run away from the car. There is nowhere to hide, and there will be nothing to hide when you get out of the car.
In just a moment, I saw something slowly coming out of the head of the car cover in front of me, and my breathing was suddenly tight, and it was about to come up!
When half of the thing's head was revealed, I immediately rejected my previous judgment that it was definitely not a lizard. But it was impossible to see what it was, because its head was covered with sand, obscuring it from what it was. Although the sand in this valley is damp, it is not so wet that it will not be covered beyond recognition, apparently because the creature itself is wet or slimey.
At this time, he suddenly said, "How do I think that thing looks a little like a dragon?" ”
When he said this, I really felt a little similar, the edges and corners of the head, the sides looked like dragon horns, but it was much smaller than the dragon in our impression. But are there really dragons in this world? Isn't that a fiction of ancient times? As more and more of the thing's body swam up, we were amazed to see a "salon" in front of us, and we couldn't help but wonder if it could be golden under the sand.
The hood must be warm, and the "salon" is actually entrenched there. We can't help but be confused, what's going on?
