Chapter XXVII Food Disputes
What kind of animal is it?
Experience told me that if it was something that had nothing to do with me, it was better not to provoke it, but I was worried about any danger, so I made up my mind to go ahead and take a look, and if it wasn't threatening, I just ignored it.
Thinking so, he sped up his movements, and soon reached the thin snow at the edge. Because the surface is covered with a layer of snow, it is difficult to see exactly what is going on under the ice, so it was only now that I realized that there was a crack in the ice that stretched downward, and it was as if the ice had been torn apart.
The crack in the ice was about half a meter wide, and the black shadow had climbed to this position just now and suddenly disappeared, as if it had burrowed into the crack. I looked down at the lights and saw that the ice crevasses were very deep, and the cracks were uneven. The lights couldn't see the head, and there was no sign of any creature.
I recalled in my mind about the species in the Kunlun Mountains, and found that only the snow peaks on the edge or a few places with lakes in the depths have recorded animal information, and the location we are in now should be without signs of life.
Looking at this crack, I estimated that what I saw before may be some crypt creatures, in Alaska, there is a tradition of making ice for houses, in fact, as long as it is used well, ice and snow can be used as a tool to keep warm, and according to research, in some perennial frozen snow mountains, underground life activities are actually very strong.
This, I believe that this will not be an exception here, the general cave creatures in the snow-capped mountains will not be too big, naturally there is no lethality, thinking of this, I settled down, did not care about this ice crevice, and walked back to the tent.
However, this negligence caused a huge mistake, and I returned to the tent for a long time, when suddenly I felt a creaking sound of snow behind me, and I thought it was the thing that had crawled out again, and I turned sharply.
This turned around and realized that it was not only it that had crawled out, but those who followed it were about its children and grandchildren!
I saw that this thing was similar to what I had guessed, with stubby limbs and a long tail, like a big newt.
What is a burrow newt? Although most people don't know about cave newts, they should have heard of salamanders, which are in the same family as salamanders, and were first found in Europe, with a long body, limbs, and double horns on both sides of the head, so originally, it was also considered to be a cub of a dragon by ancient Europeans.
This thing has only a layer of scales on its body, otherwise it would look like a row of small dragons in the blink of an eye.
I knew there was such a thing as a newt, but I wasn't sure if it was, but I was amazed by the strange dragon-like appearance. I counted them, there were seven of them, and the largest one came behind me silently, and when I turned around, it was barely a meter away from me.
On the left and right sides of it, there are a few little guys about half a meter long, which look quite cute on the outside, with a crescent-shaped mouth with teeth inside, small and thin, not very sharp, it can be seen that this thing is not going to hunt any large creatures.
But I think it's a little strange, if they say they take me as prey, then they can't eat us, if not, then what are they doing around me? Before I could realize it, the biggest, like a frog, suddenly stuck out a long tongue from its mouth, rolled it up on the ground beside me, and slammed it over something. When I looked at it, I realized that it was actually a piece of jerky.
That's not right...... I opened a pack of jerky in the evening, don't you remember any leftovers?
How could there be a packet of open jerky left here?
Eighty percent of these things are attracted by the taste of jerky.
After the big guy swept away the jerky, he immediately ran back, and his tail like a dragon ran and swung and swept on the ice, looking very silly. They retreated to the edge of the ice, and their big mouths kept moving, and after a moment they spat back a mass of black things, and the rest of the small ones rushed up and ate them all. I immediately realized that what it spit out was actually jerky, after all, it was compressed, and it was cold and cold, dry and hard, and they choked to death if they ate their little teeth.
Obviously, this piece of jerky was not enough for them, and when they had finished eating, the big man turned his head to me and confronted me. There is a lack of food in the snowy mountains, and survival is difficult, and it seems that this jerky is very important to them.
I think I'm a loving person, but I don't know how long I'll have to stay in this snowy mountain if I have the means I can afford it, and I'm not going to feed them, so I continue to sit by the smokeless stove, ignoring the bunch of things.
They resemble cave newts, but I know they are certainly not cave newts, because they are small, degraded creatures, and have no eyes. And the ones in front of me, the largest one is only one person big, and the small one is half a meter long, probably a relative of the newt, I don't know what it is. However, I am also well-informed about animals. I've never heard of this thing before, and it's a new species or a rare animal.
I said in my heart: although you seem to be very precious, but I'm sorry, I'm not an environmentalist, and I'm not an animal activist, so I can only be sorry.
These things were not aggressive, they only waited at the edge of the crack, I was a little hungry and wanted to touch something to eat, but I was embarrassed to be stared at by them, so I waited. These things are just lying there and waiting, very patient, and creatures that can survive in this harsh environment are generally extremely patient.
It wasn't until Bai Shuang woke up that he suddenly found such a group of joys gathered outside the tent, and jumped straight to his feet in surprise, I suddenly found that she and Tofu were really getting more and more husband and wife, the only thing to be thankful for was that this woman would occasionally deviate, and the rest of the time she was quite shrewd, otherwise the two teasers would live together, I really couldn't imagine.
Her hands shook and she said, "What is this?" ”
I said, "I don't know, but it's not dangerous, if you want to eat our things, you should watch carefully, don't let them get your way." Bai Shuang nodded, and I changed shifts and went to sleep, and I didn't know how long I slept, and in a daze, I heard a burst of laughter, which was a woman's laughter.
This voice woke me up, I heard it was Bai Shuang's voice, opened the tent and looked at it, and suddenly I was so angry that I almost vomited blood.
Bai Shuangzheng is fighting with this bunch of things, this thing is quite dear, crawling around her, Bai is still teasing with a piece of jerky in his hands, and beside her, there are already three empty jerky bags, which is about equivalent to our day's rations.
I felt my forehead jump uncontrollably.
He took a deep breath, adhered to the principle of trying not to be rude to the lady, and said, "Miss Bai, what are you doing?" ”
Bai Shuang's laughter stopped abruptly, his face was slightly embarrassed, and he said, "Look at it...... It's pathetic, so I just fed three pieces. ”
I said, "Then who will pity me...... What do we eat when we don't have enough food? Chopped you to eat meat? ”
Bai Shuang smiled embarrassedly, and when he didn't pay attention, the jerky in his hand was swept away by the big man, and after a while, he spit it back and ate it all. At this point, I couldn't let them spit out, so I said, "Just feed three pieces, but don't continue." ”
Bai Shuang still knew the severity, and nodded hurriedly, I looked at the time, it was only two hours, and then I went into the tent to sleep. I was so tired during the day that I fell asleep quickly, curled up in a warm sleeping bag, and fell asleep almost as soon as I closed my eyes.
I thought I could sleep peacefully, but I didn't know how long it took, a heavy object suddenly fell on my body, and I woke up all at once. When I woke up, I realized that the tent had collapsed, and it seemed to be struggling with something pressed on it.
The sleepy bug I was scared of was gone all of a sudden, and I knew that something had happened, so I hurriedly pushed the things on my body down, and the whole person crawled out of the sleeping bag, only to hear the exclamation of Bai Shuang outside, and when I climbed out of the collapsed tent, I found that the entire ice was covered with blood!
Bright red blood was pouring everywhere, and a creature with a large head and a flat face and black face was lying on the ground and slaughtering.
This thing looks like a big lizard, with fine scales on the surface, limbs on the ground, and a huge body, killing small things on the ice, and the blood on the ground probably comes from that.
When did such a thing come out again?
It seems that in this icy and snowy land, although there are no creatures on the surface, there are quite a lot of underground species. This lizard-like thing is clearly some kind of crypt creature as well.
Assassin, there was a small object in his white hands, and it was the big guy who smashed it on my tent just now. There was a large bite mark near its head, dripping with blood, and it struggled to escape back into the ice, but the rest were missing except for the injured man and the one in Bai Shuang's arms.
Obviously, the remaining six small ones, eighty percent have already become the belly of this thing!
Bai's eyes were red, and I was scared and angry, and I reacted and immediately said, "Quick, pack up your things and go, this thing has a big appetite." "I didn't think there would be any danger in the snowy mountains, but now it seems that life here is quite abundant, and it is not as calm as it seems. I don't know if this thing will be interested in eating these little things, but this place is covered in blood right now, and God knows if it will attract anything else.
After listening to my words, Bai Shuang hurriedly said, "Then, what about Dabai?" "Big white? I looked at the big man in her gaze and said to myself, how long has it been, and you have even chosen a name? You and Tofu shouldn't be husband and wife, you two should be twins, right?
PS: I paid attention yesterday, so I have something to say in a small yellow box. I have explained this before, firstly, many readers do not have the habit of looking at the small yellow box, and secondly, the small yellow box is not convenient for readers who use mobile phones to read books, please understand.
