Chapter One Hundred and Four: The Wild Herd!!
Chapter One Hundred and Four: The Wild Herd!!
The bobcat's injuries were severe, and through the dim light in the cave, the little dragon could even see very clearly the wriggling organs in its abdominal wound......
And after seeing the little dragon come in......
The bobcat, which had been licking its own abdominal wounds, also raised its head vigilantly, and glanced at Xiaolong with its vertical pupils that flashed dark blue fluorescence in the dark......
In a flash......
Xiaolong's body trembled, feeling as if he was being targeted by a desolate beast, and the extremely dangerous aura made Xiaolong fall into an ice cellar......
At that moment, under the instinctive trend, Xia Long even had the urge to turn around and escape......
Fortunately, at the moment of life and death......
Xiaolong overcame his instincts and stayed......
It's not because of Xiaolong's courage that he suddenly became bigger!
In fact, now the three of them have no way out at all, anyway, they are all dead, it is better to take a gamble at the end when they are dying!!
At least stay, there is still a chance of life......
And if you run outside at this time, there is no chance of life!!
………………
Thankfully......
Xiaolong made the right bet!
At least for the time being, it's time to bet right......
This bobcat, when it saw the little dragon coming in, although vigilant, did not immediately attack, but stared at the little dragon for a few seconds, and then lowered its head again. He continued to lick the wound in his abdomen......
This is a stage of victory for Xiaolong!!
At least......
The little dragon already knows that this bobcat. Now I don't have much interest in the brains of the three of them......
Of course......
It's far from the time to relax......
After all, the absence of hostility is one thing, and the habits of life are another......
You must know that under normal circumstances, a powerful predator like a bobcat has a strong sense of territory......
And if the three of them are to succeed in staying in this cave. And to survive one night, this is just equivalent to invisibly, entering the territory of this bobcat......
For most predators......
It's a never-ending result!!
Although it is known that it is dangerous to do so......
But the current situation. forced Xiaolong to take this step......
…………
Taking a deep breath, Xiaolong held his breath and expressed his kindness as much as possible to make himself look good. It's a little more harmless. Cautiously leaning against the wall, he began to move towards another corner of the cave......
In the process......
The little dragon tried his best to keep himself at the farthest distance from this bobcat!!
Try not to anger it as much as possible......
One second......
Ten seconds......
In a blink of an eye, this short, less than two meters distance actually made Xiaolong consume almost a minute......
His eyes were even more unblinking, always staring at the bobcat......
This short moment gave Xiaolong a feeling. It's as long as a world has passed......
OK......
This bobcat, except when the little dragon first came in. After staring at him with a little vigilance, he spent the rest of the time licking the wound on his abdomen......
During the whole process of Xiaolong's movement, he didn't even look up at him again......
The little dragon finally moved to the predetermined location without danger......
It was also at this time that Xiaolong suddenly felt a chill and shivered violently......
Calm down......
Xiaolong realized that in the short moment just now, the clothes on his body were all soaked in cold sweat......
In addition, at this moment, the temperature outside has plummeted, which will give Xiaolong the feeling that there are signs that it is about to freeze......
But it's not all bad......
At least, stimulated by this biting chill, Xiaolong finally remembered that this time was not the time for him to be in a daze and sigh......
Ah Lian and Xiao Tian are still waiting for themselves outside!!
………………
With the experience of the little dragon......
Xiaotian and Ah Lian, even if Xiaolong doesn't say it, they know what to do......
The two of them soon entered the cave as well......
Next, the three of them worked together and quickly plugged the gap that was drilled by Xiaolong before......
The cavern was once again pitch black, with only a faint ray of light squeezing in through a few thumb-sized vents......
In the process......
The bobcat just kept licking its wounds without even looking at the three of them......
That's why it's ......
Only then did the three of them confirm that this bobcat, perhaps because the injury was really too serious, did not have much hostility towards the three of them......
After realizing this, the hearts of the three of them, which had been hanging in mid-air, finally let go......
At least for the time being......
As for whether the lynx will go crazy after this, that's for later!
Xiao Ling, Xiao Tian and Ah Lian have ignored this point for the time being, this is the most basic requirement for survival in the last days......
Otherwise......
If they were afraid of this and that every day, looking forward and backward, and hesitating when they encountered something, the three of them would definitely not be able to live until now......
And......
Once it was confirmed that the lynx was not too hostile to the three of them, and without that vigilance, the work efficiency of the three of them was immediately improved......
If it weren't for that, if they were still as careful as when the little dragon came in before, even if it took more than a minute to move a meter or two, would they be able to really close the entrance to this cave before the temperature really dropped. It's all a very suspenseful question......
………………
It's not ......
When the three of them completely sealed the entrance to the cave, one by one collapsed on the ground, panting. The clothes on the three of them were already covered with a thin layer of frost......
Especially the little dragon......
Due to the excessive sweating on his body before, the clothes on his body have been completely thawed at this moment......
Hard, icy and biting......
As a last resort, Xiaolong could only take off his clothes. From Ah Lian's package, she took a new set of rags that could no longer be called clothes and draped them over herself......
And in this process, there is no need for Xiaolong to command. Xiao Tian had already spontaneously taken out the dry branches and flammable blades of grass prepared during the day from the corner of the cave, and skillfully placed them together, intending to start the fire......
Although it has the protection of a cave......
But. If you don't light a campfire at night. This icy cold night will be much harder......
It's ......
To survive......
When they didn't choose a hidden place to hide, the three of them would always prepare enough combustibles in this cave as soon as possible......
This has become their iron law!!
But......
This time, when Xiao Tian was about to start a fire, he accidentally discovered Xiao Tian's move to Xiao Long. But it seemed that he suddenly thought of something, and his face changed suddenly......
"Little ......"
Smell. Xiao Tian looked at Xiaolong suspiciously, but found that Xiaolong was shaking his head at him, signaling himself not to light the fire......
Xiao Tian was stunned......
He really didn't know, why did Xiaolong stop himself at this time......
OK......
Xiaolong just glanced at it, and saw Xiaotian's doubts, and explained in a low voice at the moment: "Wait a minute, it's not safe outside......"
Xiaolong didn't explain much......
However, Xiao Tian has been with Xiaolong for so long, and in such a harsh living environment, he has successfully survived until now, so it is naturally impossible for Xiao Tian to really understand nothing......
Opposite......
In fact, Xiao Tian's survivability is not much weaker than Xiao Long......
It's just that on weekdays, Xiaotian is used to listening to Xiaolong, which makes him feel inert......
Hearing Xiaolong say this, Xiao Tian immediately understood......
You must know that there is now a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood outside, and the corpses of hundreds of mutated creatures are lying down......
Although the climate is more harsh and terrifying than during the day, this does not mean that there is really no biological activity at night in the desert......
There is no shortage of miracles in this world......
And even in the worst environment, as long as there is such a glimmer of opportunity, life will always find its own way out......
As a matter of fact......
In the desert, there are not many more creatures that come out to feed at night than during the day......
Moreover, the creatures that come out to forage at night are more aggressive, which is one of the reasons why the little dragon would rather venture into the cave and face this terrifying lynx than wander outside......
………………
So......
The corpses of the hundreds of mutant creatures outside, after losing the deterrence of the bobcat, are simply a delicacy that has fallen from the world to those mutated creatures who come out at night to look for food......
At the same time, it is also a time bomb that can explode at any time......
No one can guarantee what crazy things those mutated creatures will do in order to snatch these corpses!!
Again, it is for this reason that it is ......
Before that, Xiaolong and Xiaotian must take the risk and rush out of the cave to move the corpses of the iron-backed snakes into the cave......
It's because there are so many uncertainties at night......
Xiaolong and Xiaotian didn't dare to guarantee that by tomorrow morning, the corpse of this iron-backed snake would still be left......
All right!!
In fact, he had already thought about this problem before this......
It's just that because he was too nervous when he came in just now, and the bobcat was watching from the sidelines, Xiaolong's whole person was worried at this time, and his soul was out of the world, how could he still remember these things......
It's not ......
At first, even Xiaolong ignored this problem......
Besides......
There is another factor that should not be overlooked......
That is, the bobcat was injured by some unknown creature. Now no one can guarantee that the terrifying creature with enough strength to severely damage this bobcat will follow the scent of the bobcat. Find it here......
What if you do find it......
At that time, if the three of them lit a bonfire in the cave, they might have found a clue by that creature......
If this kind of thing really happens, the three of them will really cry without tears!!
……………………
However......
What the three of them would never have imagined was ......
From today, when they made the decision to stay here for one night, it was already doomed. What awaits them ahead is a very unquiet night......
Things developed far beyond Xiaolong, Xiaotian, and Ah Lian......
When there are three people, it's just now. Complete all the protective measures and preparations that can be done......
When I was going to huddle together and take a good rest......
Xiaolong suddenly noticed that there was a faint burst of sound from the ground. Extremely slight vibration......
The discovery. Xiao Longdi frowned slightly......
"Boss, what's wrong?"
Xiao Tian noticed Xiao Long's abnormality for the first time......
"You don't feel ......"
Xiaolong subconsciously replied......
However, Xiao Tian and Ah Lian's observation power is obviously not as good as his, after hearing him say this, the two of them glanced at each other suspiciously, and finally shook their heads at Xiao Long in unison......
Xiaolong said again, "Didn't you notice that the ground shook a little? ”
Hearing the words......
Xiao Tian and Ah Lian's faces changed in unison......
Xiaolong has already reminded to this extent, Xiaotian and Ah Lian, under the preparation. How can you not notice the shaking of the earth......
"Is it ......?"
"Is it an earthquake?"
And, after some mental consideration. Xiao Tian also expressed his guess......
But......
Xiao Long did not agree with his judgment, but put his ears on the cold ground by himself......
After a few seconds, the little dragon looked up violently......
This time, there was already a look of horror in his eyes......
"Something's coming......"
"And there are a lot of them!!"
Hearing Xiaolong's judgment, Xiaotian and Ah Lian hurriedly followed suit, and also put their ears on the ground......
It's just that......
At this time, even if they didn't talk about their ears and put them on the ground, they could already hear the faint roar coming from the edge of the sky......
In just an instant, Xiao Tian and Ah Lian had already confirmed......
This is not an earthquake at all, but this time, the number of people running together is too large, and when everyone runs together, the performance and the effect caused by it are almost comparable to the earthquake......
………………
This discovery suddenly made Xiaotian and Ah Lian's hearts, which had just been slightly put down, hang in their throats again......
"Is it ......?"
Almost subconsciously, the eyes of the three of them glanced at the lynx not far away......
Apparently......
At this moment, the three of them subconsciously attributed the responsibility for the sudden appearance of a large number of mutated creatures here and running wild in groups to this bobcat......
No way, although this bobcat, the scene he did during the day was too memorable for the three of them!
With this premise, it is impossible for the three of them not to think about this!!
Meanwhile......
As time passed, the shaking of the ground became more and more violent......
The roar, too, from far to near, from the beginning of the inaudible sound, gradually became louder, becoming deafening......
Later......
Even because the movement is so great that the stability of the entire cave structure has been affected to a certain extent, and from time to time sand and gravel will fall from the top of the cave......
At this time, the first thing that Xiaolong was fortunate enough to do was that he had chosen those huge stones as the main body of the cave......
If you still want to dig a cave under the sand dunes to hide, Xiaolong estimates that the three of them may have been buried alive by the sand......
…………
Finally......
When the roar gradually becomes like thunder......
The voice of the first mutated creature. Finally appeared on the horizon......
It was a mutated gray wolf......
And behind this mutant gray wolf, there was a dense pack of wolves, looking at it at a glance. The list is overwhelming......
The three of them were stunned by the shocking scene in front of them......
Seriously......
The three of them have survived in the desert for so long, and this is the first time they have seen so many wolves act together......
It's just that......
Why did these wolves suddenly appear here? Were they really attracted by bobcats?
What surprised the three of them was ......
Before they could figure out the answer, an even more unbelievable scene appeared in front of their eyes again......
Originally......
Until this time. It was only behind this pack of wolves that the three found the number and density than the wolves running at the front. More and more terrifying mutant biomes......
Moreover, the mutated creatures that appeared this time were of all kinds......
Whether the three of them know each other or don't know each other. Or maybe you've just heard of it. Or even just the figures of some legendary mutated creatures, they can be found in this huge herd of beasts at this moment......
And by the time Xiaolong, Xiaotian, and Ah Lian saw this scene, the three of them were completely stunned by the unbelievable scene in front of them!
has completely lost the ability to speak......
"What's going on?"
"Was it really this bobcat who was forced to lure it?"
This is the first time that the three of them have doubts about their initial judgment without knowing the truth......
………………
But things, here. Apparently it's not over yet......
Because......
The three of them were still stunned by the scene in front of them. When you feel stunned and shocked......
The innumerable mass of mutated creatures in the distance was already crazy, and at great speed, they rushed past the cave where they were hiding......
Time......
The sand and dust filled the sky, and the roar was deafening, as if the entire space trembled under the iron hooves of these mutant creatures......
However, what makes Xiaolong, Xiaotian and Ah Lian happy is ......
These mutant creatures, the target they are aimed at, should not be themselves!! It couldn't have been the bobcat......
Otherwise......
They don't believe that among the many mutated creatures, none of them have a more sensitive nose......
And as long as there is one such creature, it will definitely be able to follow the breath left by the three of them in the air, or the breath left by the mutated bobcat, to find the hiding place of the three of them and the bobcat......
Even if the three of them have undergone special treatment, those mutated creatures should have a hard time finding the exact location of the cave!
But if it's the three of you, or this bobcat, then this group of mutated creatures will definitely linger here......
Can ...... now
Not to mention wandering, there are countless mutated creatures, and they don't even stop at one end......
It's all a rush!!
What's even weird......
Xiaolong, Xiaotian, and Ah Lian also discovered that these mutant creatures, even those wolves that feed on meat, found the corpses of hundreds of mutated creatures, piled up into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood......
None of them showed any hint of intending to stay......
It is precisely because of this that the three of them were deeply touched......
At this time......
In the eyes of the three of them, this time the scale was a mutant group, and it didn't look like it was migrating at all, let alone tracking something......
To the three of them, these mutant biota feel like they are running away, hiding from something!!
After coming to such a conclusion......
Even the three of them themselves were stunned by this unbelievable conclusion they had reached......
To know......
There are thousands of mutated creatures with terrifying strength in front of you!!
And among them, there are thousands of them, the real kings of the desert - mutant wolves!!
They really couldn't imagine what kind of creature could actually do it to let such a terrifying group of mutated creatures escape in such a mess......
This is completely beyond their imagination and comprehension!!
………………
However......
The truth of the matter is often so cruel, and it is also so incredible......
Although the number of mutant creatures passing here this time is extremely terrifying, due to the number of these mutated creatures, they are all quite fast......
It's ......
When the entire large group of mutant organisms had completely passed, less than five minutes had passed......
What was left at the scene was only dense messy footprints of different sizes and shapes, as well as a mess......
Next......
It's another long vacuum......
The ears echoed, and the roar that was like thousands of troops galloping wildly before, but it was empty in front of me......
Time......
The three of them actually had a feeling that the previous scene was very unreal......
Of course......
It's just a feeling......
In fact, even if those mutant biota were almost ten minutes over, the three of them didn't relax at all, and their whole bodies were still tense, staring nervously at the previous mutant biota, the first to appear......
Even the bobcat, which had been on the sidelines before, licking its own wounds, stood up for the first time since entering this cave and staggered to the three of Xiaolong......
