Chapter 53: Little Cub
"Is there any?"
"No, there is only one empty nest left, and there is not a single hair left. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" The cry of disappointment penetrated the heavy rain curtain and reached Mo Ran's ears, and he couldn't help but shake his head.
This is the sixth rabbit nest they have found, but without exception, all of them are empty, and the 'little fresh meat' who should have lived in it has already gone to the nest.
"Made, these rabbits have become more cunning than foxes!" he cursed viciously as he cut off a branch with the steel knife in his hand.
Naturally, he will not be bored to vent his emotions with his beloved weapon, which is what they must do all the way.
After all, unlike on a sunny day, where you can determine the direction based on the general orientation of the sun, in the woods with heavy rain, the vision is severely obstructed, and the sense of direction is also weak. In order not to get lost in the heavy rain in the jungle, they had to mark the boundaries along the way as a sign of the way they came.
Although there are many broken branches on the ground, you can tell at a glance between those that have been cut down by people and those that have been blown by the wind.
The reason why Mo Ran didn't dare to go deep last time was because it was useless to do this at night, and the black rumbling almost reached out and couldn't see the five fingers, could it be that the branches touched it one by one?
Now, in order to avoid danger after the heavy rain that may stop at any time, the two of them walked together when they acted, and they no longer dared to be as careless as last time.
Sail carefully on the 10,000-year-old ship, although this slows down the pace, but it is better to have a high index of completeness, and in the period when the rainy season is about to end, ensuring safety is the most important thing.
Looking at Chu Wenle who turned back, Mo Ran spoke: "Now that the small animals on this level have basically moved away, we have to continue to go inside." ”
"Go further in? It's possible to encounter large beasts, although you and I are well-armed and well-stocked, but if we provoke a few, we won't be able to eat and walk around." With deep concern, Chu Wenle couldn't help but remind.
The deeper they went, the more dangerous it became, as they hunted animals, and the hungry animals would not let go of the two pieces of fat that were brought to their door.
However, due to the low terrain of this area, there is a danger of being flooded at any time, so some small animals have already moved into deeper areas, although it is also dangerous there, and it may become the belly of other beasts at any time. But rather than facing the horrors of nature, they would rather choose this highly dangerous migration to avoid the danger of destruction.
Because they can't escape in the face of natural disasters, but there is still the possibility of escaping in the face of predators, and with the current weather, most predators will choose to nest in a safe place for 'rain sleep' to minimize physical exertion. Of course, they don't think so much with their little heads, but the animals' own almost perverted intuition shows them the right path.
This is the instinct of the animal to avoid evil, which is an almost reflexive choice. It's like a person being blindfolded, slowly groping with his fingers, approaching the flame of a candle, feeling the temperature, and naturally choosing to retreat or bypass this piece.
Animals live in jungles where the jungle is predatory, so they are no strangers to this kind of multiple-choice question.
This made the game more difficult for Mo Ran and them, it was not easy to find food in this rainy day, but now it is impossible to try their luck, and they must go deeper into the island to find food.
Chu Wenle's worries he didn't know, but this was also a helpless move, if he really couldn't hold on, who would come out to find food on a rainy day.
The first time Mo Ran crossed this island was along the stream, although fortunately he did not encounter the attack of large wild animals, but from the traces on the surrounding ground, it is not difficult to see that there are still very powerful predators on this island, so he will always choose to move closer to the sea, because he can't afford to provoke those 'big guys' in the center of the island.
But now even if it's dangerous, they have to give it a try, because they don't know when the damn rainy season will end, and it should have been raining long ago, but the thief has prolonged it too long.
There is no meat, only some fruit is eaten all day, and it is strange not to be hungry. If this continues, they will all fall down one by one, after all, these things cannot support the consumption of the human body at all, even if they don't do anything every day, they will sleep after eating, and they will still be hungry at that time.
In their current state, if the rainy season ends suddenly, even if they have made a lot of adequate preparations, it will be useless, after all, no matter how powerful and sophisticated the weapons are, they still need people to control them.
The search for meat is imminent, even if it's dangerous!
Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the tiger mountains. It's not bravery, it's a kind of helplessness that borders on powerlessness.
Without any further hesitation, Mo Ran stepped out first and headed towards the depths of the island, and Chu Wenle could only helplessly follow. Although he didn't want to get into danger in his heart, he didn't feel at ease when Mo Ran went deep into the island alone, although his force value was limited, but one more person could take care of it.
In ghost weather like this, animals will hide and wait for the long rainy season to pass except when they have to eat, which is why none of the small animals that can be found everywhere can be found until now.
The situation on the periphery is miserable, but as we go deeper, the situation has become much better, and at least I can inadvertently see one or two small things that 'come and go'.
The eyes of the two people who haven't seen a living animal for a long time almost glowed green at this time, this Nima is all live meat, compared with fresh meat and marinated bacon, I don't know how many times it is delicious, compared to the fruit that almost makes people sick to their stomachs, it is even more different.
From the moment they moved inside, the two of them had taken out their weapons early, ready to face the unexpected at any time. Chu Wenle's own combat ability is limited, and his ability to shoot and hunt is even worse, so he walks behind and is always vigilant around, and is also responsible for protecting Mo Ran's safety.
With him there, Mo Ran can search with confidence and don't have to worry about behind him, because even if there is danger, it is Chu Wenle who bears the brunt・・・・・・
Although Chu Wenle is suspected of being used as cannon fodder, Mo Ran, as a striker, needs to spend a lot of effort and faces no less danger than him, so the two of them have no objection to this, and the long-term cooperation has made them develop such a habit. Everything came naturally.
Mo Ran, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, stretched out his left hand and grasped it into a fist, signaling Chu Wenle to stop.
With his right hand, he inserted the steel knife back into the crude scabbard at his waist, removed the curved bow from his back, and slowly bent the bow and arrows... A series of movements are fluid and do not make any sound, and even if they do, they will quickly disappear into the sound of the rain.
With his right arm, he almost stretched the bow to the fullest, ignoring the sourness brought by the rain flowing down his hair into his eyes, and stared intently at the rabbit that was feeding with his back to them under a tree in front of him.
The little thing was looking around at this time, lest a big guy suddenly appear and eat it, and its three-petaled lips kept squirming, sending a handful of delicious grass into its belly, but its vision was limited, and it couldn't detect the death behind it.
The hearing that I am usually proud of has almost become an ornament in the sound of the rain, and I have grown so big in white.
When the rabbit moved a very short distance again, ready to change the turf and continue to nibble on the grass that had been splashed on the mud by the rain and washed quickly, Mo Ran moved, and the fingers that tightened the bowstring suddenly released, and a sharp arrow pierced through the waterline, and in the blink of an eye, it was already there.
The rabbit didn't see where the danger came from until he died, and he was pierced by an arrow, and he must have thought in his heart: Made, in the next life, you must have an extra pair of eyes, and they will grow on the buttocks, so that you won't have time to find out if someone explodes the chrysanthemum.
The hunt was successful, and Mo Ran couldn't help but show a smile on his face, it didn't take long to get a harvest after entering the depths, and when he went back, he would definitely have a big catch, and he didn't have to worry about food for two or three days.
Walked over and picked up the rabbit nailed to the ground, pulled out the arrow, collected the quiver, and handed over the loot to Chu Wenle, Mo Ran continued to hurry forward to find the next prey.
In the morning, they really had a bumper harvest, although they didn't see any slightly larger antelopes or anything, but these harvests on the two of them alone were enough to consume for these two days.
Each of them had a simple net pouch tied to their bodies, which was woven by Anne and was large and sturdy.
Now so many things are divided equally between the two of them, although it will not affect their mobility, but it will also have some weight, so they plan to go home, after all, with so many things on their backs, once there is any special situation, it is too late to run.
Mo Ran, who was just about to turn around and return the way he came, suddenly stopped, and Chu Wenle couldn't help but ask a little strangely, "What's wrong?"
Looking around, he didn't see any danger approaching, and I don't know why he suddenly stopped.
"Shhhh
Seeing him say this, Chu Wenle had no choice but to stop his movements and listen carefully, but he couldn't distinguish any other sounds except for the sound of the surrounding raindrops hitting the leaves and the sound of the landing.
With his feelings, Mo Ran approached the source of the sound step by step, Chu Wenle didn't know why, so he had to follow him, I don't know what the hell this guy is doing.
A large tree with two arms growing next to the mountain, and the violent wind and rain only swept some bits and pieces from its body, proudly facing the changes of wind and clouds. With its height, it is bound to face the sea on weekdays, and the spring flowers are blooming.
But that's not the point, there is a little cub under this big tree calling for his mother's arms at this time.
