Chapter 010: Squirrels Build a Nest
The range of psychic power detection has increased, and Aoki wants to know more about his current environment.
Don't know if it's the valley? Is it a ridge? Or is it a hillside? Are there any wild boars around? Jungle leopard? Monkey? Other pythons? These made Aoki very curious.
Autumn turns to winter, and the jungle finally ushers in the dry season. With the experience of the previous year, Aoki made a water reserve in advance. Now that Aoki has put some of his roots directly into the stream, he will be able to enjoy the dry season a little better.
Before you know it, Aoki has been here for more than a year. Aoki has also grown from a small sapling to a small tree 5 meters tall. The dense foliage, the strong torso, and the eerily large root system all prove that Aoki has not wasted more than a year in vain.
With the growth of the trees, the spiritual power can already extend in a straight line to 700 meters, which can be said to be progressing rapidly. And under Aoki's deliberate training, he can barely raise an ordinary stone the size of a fist.
Everything is in order.
At this time, Aoki still didn't find out where he was, but he only knew that the terrain around him was relatively small. It can't be a ridge or a hillside, it can just be a flat land or a valley.
Within 700 meters, Aoki could only see the stream next to him. During this period, Aoki also saw many other well-known and unknown animals, including the more rare silver-breasted silk-crowned bird, brown-faced garch, white-throated crested bulbul, golden-eyed flycatcher, etc., as well as rare animals such as Asian elephants, Indian tigers, clouded leopards, small civets, and slow loris.
Watching them forage, play, and frolic like a body camera, Aoki is full of interest. When Aoki applied for the college entrance examination in the past, he was very interested in the diverse creatures of nature, so he applied for the biology major.
Now that it is a tree, it is closer to nature than before, and it is easier to observe these lovely things.
Soon after, Aoki welcomed his first litter of residents, two giant squirrels. Their bodies are larger than the average squirrel, about 25 cm, and with the tail, they are more than half a meter long. There is a clear dividing line on the abdomen and back of the body, the back is black and the abdomen is yellow, and the skull is short and broad. What caught Aoki's attention the most was that its tail hair was fluffy, and its entire tail was longer than its body.
Seeing their cute appearance, Aoki didn't stop them from building a nest here, as if he had two pets himself. It is also possible to observe their habits up close and increase the joy of life. For more than a year, Aoki has felt a little lonely and lonely by himself (a tree).
Some time ago, as Aoki continued to grow, there were also some animals who wanted to settle here, but they were all harassed by Aoki with mental power. This time, the two squirrels impressed Aoki with their cuteness.
They are very diligent and in one day they find branches and leaves from the woods and make their nests in the 4-meter-high branches.
Aoki found that they were very capable of jumping, jumping directly to a height of 5 meters, and that they were very agile and fast.
After building their nests, they forage for food everywhere.
In the evening.
"What are they doing? Hey! Aoki saw their actions at this time, and the bad taste came.
I saw that in the nest, a giant squirrel crushed another giant squirrel under him, and then did something unsightly.
Aoki was not embarrassed, but watched with relish.
"Oops! Old man cart! ”
"Tsk, Guanyin sits on the lotus! Terrible! ”
"What is this? Haven't heard of it, haven't seen it? ”
"It seems that even animals can't be underestimated!"
Aoki watched it with relish, and he continued to evaluate and analyze it here, and if he let these two couples who were doing things know, they would definitely move immediately and continue to do it elsewhere.
Since then, Aoki has one more entertainment program, which is to watch the two of them "do things" with bad taste. Fortunately, the trees do not have the instinct to estrus, otherwise Aoki would definitely be horny.
Soon after the two squirrels made their home, the first crisis came.
One night, a small, triangular spearhead pit appeared not far from Aoki. It was about 1.2 meters long, and it snaked its body and swam to Aoki's side, suddenly raising its head and spitting out snake letters.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, it quietly climbed up Aoki's torso.
"If you want to hunt, it depends on whether I agree or not." Naturally, Aoki would not allow this snake to attack the two squirrels who were sleeping at this time. The mental power that has been exercised for a long time can finally be used for it now.
I saw that every time the spearhead pit wanted to climb up, Aoki would condense his spiritual power into a shield-like shape, and then shoot it directly on the head.
The snake's head was deflected, affecting the entire body that was climbing, and it felt like it wanted to fall. It slowed down, spat out the snake letter, and turned its head around, but did not find the enemy.
Although I was a little confused, I continued to climb up.
Aoki gave it another shot.
The snake's head deflected again, but it managed to grab the trunk without falling.
This time, Aoki stopped playing, and quickly completed the second slap, slapping the snake's head even further away from the trunk. After several more hits, the snake finally fell from a height of 1 meter.
The snake was not injured, after all, the height of the fall was not high.
This snake is really a bit dead-eyed, even if it encounters such a strange thing, it can't stop its hunting heart.
In the end, I tossed back and forth several times before I lost my head and had to give up the food and leave.
Out of a kind of psychology of caring for the creature, Aoki did not harm it.
At this time, the two squirrels had already woken up keenly and jumped to the top of the branch of the green tree. After seeing the snake leave, he returned to his nest and continued to sleep.
Having succeeded in protecting his two "pets", Aoki felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
The rain was dripping, and although the season was not right, Aoki continued to smoke the shoots and shoots at this time, and continued to grow upwards and outwards. During this period, the two squirrels thought about enjoying Aoki's shoots, but they were taught a lesson by Aoki, and then they didn't dare to do it again.
Another month passed, spring came, and everything sprouted. Although it is still a bit dry, Aoki has the advantage of being able to draw water directly from the stream while taking water from other trees. With this advantage, Aoki grows faster than any other tree.
Although the two squirrels have been doing that kind of thing, it is strange that the female squirrel is not pregnant, which makes Aoki very strange. He knew that the giant squirrel was also lactating from January to December.
"Hey, it's all because you don't give it a try! Man, how could it not be? "Aoki can be said to hate the male giant squirrel. He'd been looking forward to adding a baby squirrel.
One day, a gunshot suddenly rang out in the jungle, breaking the silence of the jungle.
Although it is a little small, it is unusually clear in Aoki's perception.
"It's poaching!" Aoki doesn't have to look at it to know what's going on. He hated these poachers very much during his lifetime, and after he was reborn into a tree, he hated it even more.
Extending the psychic power to the source of the sound, I finally saw this group of damned predators.
5 people!
Fully equipped!
Each carries a shotgun on their backs! Looking at the appearance of those shotguns, they should be homemade.
At that moment, their voices came from there.
"Haha! This harvest is good, I have caught three good big poisonous snakes and an adult beaver, as long as I work hard, this month's consumption money will come. ”
Hearing their words, Aoki noticed the sand bag they were carrying in their hands. Sure enough, there were a few bags that were bulging, and from time to time something moved in them.
"Ah!! Unforgivable!! ”
Aoki was furious, and at this time Aoki could say that he wanted them to go to hell immediately! They are different from the group of students in that they sabotage for personal gain, while the group of students are involved in danger for the sake of protection, and the nature of the two things is completely different.
"I called you a long time ago, and the dignified man would be frightened by a rumor."
"That's not a rumor, it's true, only one of the five people came out alive, it's true."
"Then there can't be a 25-meter-long python, as soon as you hear it, you know it's bragging, you must know that the world's longest snake is just over 14 meters. Do you still believe such rumors? And he was too scared to come, what a coward. ”
When the others heard his sarcasm, they were immediately unhappy: "It's not just a few of us who are afraid, aren't the people in the whole county also afraid to come?" According to you, isn't it true that all of us in the county are cowards. ”
At this time, a person who seemed to be the leader listened to their competition, and suddenly became impatient: "Don't talk about it, it's the right thing to come here to make money." If it weren't for the rumors of the python, those forest patrol staff wouldn't be so relaxed, and we wouldn't have been so easy to get into. What he said was more majestic, and the others listened to it and quieted down, and did not continue to fight.
