Chapter 260: Retreat without a fight

The three ghosts ran in the same direction, and the speed was very fast.

Fortunately, the field of vision on the grassland is vast, and Zheng Guo made light efforts to catch up, but he did not lose it.

Turning a huge rock, a valley mouth suddenly appeared in front of him, and three ghosts scrambled into the valley.

Zheng Guo followed closely and ran to the mouth of the valley, stopped, and watched for a moment.

The valley is narrow, with an average width of only about 10 meters, and the rock walls on both sides are steep and high, and there is a risk of rockfalls.

At the mouth of the valley grew a half-withered sawtooth tree, with countless soft branches hanging down like a willow tree, except that instead of willow leaves, the branches grew jagged thorns.

The tree acts as a guard of the valley, warning uninvited guests who want to enter the valley.

The three ghosts had disappeared from Zheng Guo's field of vision.

Zheng Guo thought about it for a moment and felt that this valley was worth exploring.

There is a ghost to guide the way, and there is a high probability of proving that there is food inside.

Food is now a scarce resource for him.

He still has most of the meadow and an entire desert to traverse, and then he has to pass through the snowy area known as the Life Zone, where it will be increasingly difficult to find food.

So he had to take every opportunity he could to get food.

Zheng Guo walked into the valley and was immediately covered by shadows. The sunlight is tightly blocked by the mountains on both sides.

There was only one road in the valley, so Zheng Guo was not in a hurry to catch up, but chose to move forward steadily, after all, he didn't know what was in the valley.

The valley receives less sunlight and is more inhospitable than the outside, and even weeds are rare, except for many low shade-loving plants.

Seeing the environment here, more and more viewers feel that this place does not look like there will be prey.

"Maybe those three ghosts are just going back to their lair." There is speculation from the audience.

"Then hunt for the ghosts." It was proposed.

"It seems that the meat is inedible, and it will get sick."

"Youqi is not a social animal, the three of them ran in together, they must have come to find food."

……

As we go deeper, the valley floor becomes more and more wide, but the cliffs on both sides become more precipitous.

Zheng Guo suddenly heard something, immediately stopped, hid behind a raised rock wall, and cautiously probed to see.

The bun was filmed on top of his head.

I saw that more than ten meters in front of me, three ghosts were surrounding something, "clucking" and barking.

The ghost has a very large head. On the top of the head there are two pointed ears, which are somewhat similar to the ears of a fox, but they are hairless.

The body is thin and thin, the skin is dark, the texture is like the dried bacon, and there is not even a single hair on the body.

They can walk upright and only get on all fours when running at high speeds, similar to the spotted bear.

The three ghosts in front of them were hunched over, clucking, circling around a dead animal, as if they were performing some kind of ritual. After five or six turns, they suddenly pounced on the corpse and tore it violently.

"The prey looks like it's been dead for a while, and I don't know if it's edible."

Zheng Guo observed quietly for a moment, and then introduced in a low voice: "Do you see those two points on Youzhen's head?" That's actually its nostrils, which are located on each side of the head. Thanks to those two nostrils, the ghost has a strong three-dimensional sense of smell and can locate the source of the taste. Most creatures have stereoscopic vision, but stereoscopic olfactory is rare. I don't believe you can test it yourself, and without knowing it, can you tell the direction and distance from which the smell is coming from? ”

"Yes, as a foodie, this is a must-have skill⊙ω⊙"

"The one who said yes, hurry up and insure your nose, you have a special function."

"Guo Ye is right, most creatures don't have the ability to smell and distinguish location."

"Didn't you take my whistling dog seriously" ( ̄~ ̄)"

……

Zheng Guo retracted his head, pressed his body against the rock wall, and said, "Remember not to come into direct contact with the ghosts, so as not to get entangled in them." It's best to find a way to get them out of the way without a fight. ”

"This is to grab food with Youzhen?"

"It turns out that Guo Ye is also a scavenger⊙ω ⊙"

"It's so evil! (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻”

"I'd rather starve to death."

"Isn't there another six-legged fish? You won't eat carrion. ”

"My stomach can't stand it."

"I knew that Guo Ye was a non-human!"

……

"Of course I don't eat carrion, I mean that the prey may not be completely rotten, and there may be fresh parts of it......"

Zheng Guo thought for a moment, and with a flash of inspiration, he held his throat with one hand, opened his mouth, and suddenly let out a thunderous roar.

Roar!!!

The sound echoed through the valley, and after repeated reflections, echoes repeatedly.

The audience was stunned.

Immediately someone could hear that he was mimicking the cry of a spotted bear.

The three ghosts immediately paused their meals, raised their heads and looked around vigilantly, their ears erected high, and their nostrils stirred incessantly.

Roar!!!

Another explosion sounded close to my ears.

This time they all heard clearly, and immediately scattered as birds and beasts, and rushed towards the depths of the valley, and in the blink of an eye, they were gone.

"It's okay (⊙o⊙)"

"Awesome!"

"Guo Ye is a spotted bear, of course he is amazing."

"Ma Dan, a throat almost scared the old man to death."

……

The plan went well, and Zheng Guo was also greatly encouraged and smiling.

"Hehe, many of the hunter's skills are very useful in the wilderness, and in many cases they can do more with less, so it is recommended that outdoor enthusiasts can practice it."

Zheng Guo came out from behind the cover and walked towards the prey.

As we got closer, a rancid smell came to my nose, but the smell was not too strong, and the rot should not be serious.

Zheng Guo arrived and squatted down to check.

It is similar in size to the Ghost Body, with stiff gray hair all over its body and a whitish tail hair.

The internal organs have been hollowed out, revealing the skeleton inside.

"It's a highland thorn jackal, these are the new wounds from the bite just now, and the wound on the neck is the direct cause of its death. Judging from the form of the fatal injury, the murderer should be the golden-backed cloud cat. It was bitten through the neck and killed with one blow. ”

Zheng Guo casually picked up a sharp stone next to him, poked it a few times, and continued: "Judging from the degree of decay, it has been less than ten hours since it died, and some of the meat should be fresh. ”

As he spoke, Zheng Guo used the tip of the stone to cut through the fur on the back of the thorny jackal, exposing the muscles inside.

"Look, it's still fresh." Zheng Guo had the same expression as I expected, "As long as you cut off these fresh parts, you can eat them." ”

That being said, he was slow to do it. After staring at the brightly colored back meat for a while, he said regretfully: "However, this kind of spiny jackal usually carries a germ that can infect people with fatal diseases, and it is difficult to completely kill the germs in high temperatures." It's not 100% infected, but it's not a low chance and it's not worth the risk. So, there was no choice but to give up. ”

“……”

"I can't eat (ー_ー)!! it after talking for a long time."

"Caught off guard."

"Guoye, if you turn around again, I'm going to get out of the car."

……

Zheng Guo was a little disappointed, threw away the stone in his hand, and looked around.

The rock walls on both sides are steep, and the rock wall on the right side even protrudes diagonally upwards and outwards, as if it is about to topple, giving people a sense of oppression.

Zheng Guo seemed to see something and sighed.
