Chapter 114: Alien Beast Instinct
Hearing Xiao Leizi's words, Jiang Xi and the three of them nodded again and again, rubbing their hands excitedly, looking forward to it, while Ji Linger looked at Xiao Leizi and the bamboo tube in his hand with a puzzled face, looking at Xiao Leizi's expression, as if he was holding a powerful secret weapon instead of food.
Ji Qiu had seen the bamboo pheasant and knew what would happen next, so he hurriedly threw the remaining cake in his hand to the puppy, and then stood up, drew his knife out of its sheath, and looked around vigilantly.
"It's not against the enemy, what are you doing with your sword?" Xiao Leizi looked at Ji Qiu with a disgusted expression.
Ji Qiu ignored him, but said eagerly to everyone, "Be careful, once the smell wafts out, the surrounding fierce birds and beasts will rush overwhelmingly." ”
The contrast between Xiao Leizi's weightlifting and Ji Qiu's great enemy is very great, Jiang Xi and others don't know why, and they don't know who to believe.
Xiao Leizi glanced at Ji Qiu with disdain, sat cross-legged, and opened the bamboo tube with a smile.
As soon as the bamboo tube opened, the strange fragrance was fragrant in an instant, and the aroma was overflowing, Jiang Xi and others came over curiously, looking at the things in the bamboo tube, the bamboo pheasant does not need to be dehaired, the feathers will fade by themselves in the process of steaming and roasting, and the skin and flesh of the bamboo pheasant after roasting are not reddish-brown, but strange blue-white, as if carved with ice.
Xiao Leizi pinched one while it was hot, opened his mouth to eat, closed his eyes and savored it, his expression was comfortable and comfortable, and he was satisfied.
Seeing that everyone was looking around him, Xiao Leizi was not stingy, and handed the bamboo tube to Jiang Xi and the others, and let them pinch and taste it by themselves.
Seeing this, Ji Qiu hurriedly spoke out to stop him, "Hey, don't touch that juice, they will follow the smell and chase after you." ”
Compared with the young Ji Qiu, Jiang Xi and the others were still willing to believe the old laughing thunder, and when they said that it was okay to eat one, they reached out to pinch the bamboo pheasant in the bamboo tube.
Jiang Xi, Jiang Bo, and Jiang Zhong didn't believe in Ji Qiu, but Ji Ling'er believed him, and Ji Ling'er knew that he was not a person who made a fuss, and there must be a reason for being so nervous.
Xiao Leizi took Jiang Xi and the others to feast, and Ji Qiu and Ji Ling'er were on guard, as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Today is the east wind, and later the beasts from the west will be the first to rush over. Ji Qiu Chong Ji Ling'er said.
Hearing him say this, Ji Ling'er turned sideways slightly, focusing on being wary of the West.
The two waited nervously for a while, but they never saw anything unusual, and at this time, there was not much bamboo pheasant left in the bamboo tube in Xiao Leizi's hand.
After waiting for a while, he still didn't see the arrival of the fierce birds and beasts, Ji Qiu became more and more puzzled, he had experienced it once, and it didn't take long after the last bamboo tube burst that a giant snake monster python chased after him, why did he not see the beast following the smell after so long this time.
Until Xiao Leizi and others ate all the bamboo pheasants in the bamboo tube, they still didn't see the fierce birds and beasts appear, not to mention the fierce birds and beasts, even the sparrows never flew in.
Xiao Leizi put down the bamboo tube and looked around, "What's the matter, why don't you see rare birds and beasts coming?"
Xiao Leizi asked the question that everyone wanted to ask him, but naturally no one answered.
"Sixth Senior Uncle, is the smell too faint, and the distance is so far away that they haven't smelled it?" Jiang Zhong asked.
Xiao Leizi shook his head suspiciously, "It shouldn't be, I've eaten this thing many times, and every time it attracts a group." ”
"Maybe there are no rare birds and beasts in this area. Jiang Bo guessed.
"No," Xiao Leizi waved his hand and said, "The smell of this bamboo pheasant can spread hundreds of miles away, and there are many birds and beasts in Jugu Prefecture, so it is impossible not to see one within hundreds of miles." ”
When Xiao Leizi and the others were talking, Ji Qiu saw that it was difficult for the dog cub to lie on the grass and eat the cake, so he put the bamboo tube in front of it with the remaining juice inside, and picked up the cake and broke it and soaked it.
Xiao Leizi was puzzled, tilted his head and saw that Ji Qiu was feeding the dog, so he turned his eyes to the body of the spotted puppy cub, and walked over to take the back of the dog's neck to look carefully.
The dog cub was unguarded, and was held by the laughing thunder, and the grinning roar of the thunder demonstrated.
Seeing the cub struggling violently, Ji Qiu couldn't bear it, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, "Hey, Sixth Senior Brother, why are you catching it?"
"I don't think it's the ghost," said Xiao Leizi, "some fierce beasts and birds of prey are gifted and domineering, and if there is such a one around, those ordinary beasts will not dare to get close." ”
After laughing at Lei Ziyan, seeing the suspicious expressions on everyone's faces, he added, "Don't believe it, there is really that kind of ancient beast that is naturally domineering." ”
"Sixth Senior Brother, you can imagine it, your family's ancient fierce beast looks like this?" Ji Qiu couldn't cry or laugh.
"Yes, yes, Uncle Xiao is reasonable," Jiang Xi smiled, "This ancient beast has fallen into such a situation, isn't it miserable?"
Xiao Leizi has an easy-going temperament, there is no arrogance, Ji Ling'er is not formal, and said with a smile, "Real person, you are an alien person, if this dog cub is an ancient fierce beast, can you not perceive it? ”
"That's what you don't understand," Xiao Leizi shook his head and said, "I have all the seven tricks, and I have weakened the alien instinct, and the three-legged golden toad is connected with my heart......"
Before Xiao Leizi finished speaking, Ji Qiu interrupted him, "Sixth Senior Brother, you see that it is quite uncomfortable, put it down quickly." ”
"That's it," Ji Ling'er echoed, "just came to find food, and you were suspicious of everything." ”
"You don't know that the cubs of ordinary beasts will curl up honestly if they are caught by the back of the neck," Xiao Leizi carried the back of the dog's neck and shook it up and down, "You see that it is holding the back of the neck but it is struggling hard, which is unreasonable." ”
After laughing at Lei Zi's words, Jiang Bo asked, "Sixth Senior Uncle, why do the cubs of the beast curl up honestly after being held by the back of their necks?"
Xiao Leizi replied, "Just because wild beasts are born in the wilderness and forests, there are many natural predators, if the mother beast perceives potential danger, she will take her cubs to move and hide, and their claws cannot be carried as freely as you humans, so they can only use their mouths to hold them, and the position of their grip is the back of the cub's neck, and they have formed an instinct for a long time, and the cubs will curl up on all fours as long as they are held by the back of the neck." ”
"Then why is it so dishonest?" Jiang Bo asked after pointing to the pup, the pup had been struggling since he was held by Xiao Leizi, and he had never been able to get out of trouble, becoming more and more anxious and whining.
Uncle Jiang and Jiang Zhong are brothers, Uncle Jiang said, Jiang Zhong casually took over the conversation, "Then you still need to ask, naturally you have no mother and have not been bitten." ”
"Otherwise," Xiao Leizi shook his head and said, "It is the instinct of beasts to be held on the back of the neck and curl up on their own, which is innate, not acquired. ”
"Sixth Senior Brother, let it go, don't toss it. Ji Qiu sighed helplessly.
Xiao Leizi didn't pay attention to Ji Qiu, but took the dog cub in his hand, looked up and down, and looked left and right.
Jiang Bo asked again, "Sixth Senior Uncle, you haven't said why it is still so unruly after it was taken off the back of its neck?"
Jiang Bo is not a person with eyesight, if Xiao Leizi knew why, he would have said it a long time ago, where did he still use him to ask, after being Jiang Bo's general, Xiao Leizi was anxious, and said while thinking, "This...... This is really unreasonable, why does it lose its beast instinct? unless it is born without this instinct, yes, it should be, this kind of beast has no natural predators, so it has no instinct to curl up in danger. ”
Xiao Leizi also knew that this inference was unconvincing, so he diverted the topic, "What the hell is this?"
"Isn't it a dog?" Jiang Bo also stepped in.
"No, dog paws are not like that. Jiang Zhong also walked over to take a look, "Look at its pattern, I'm afraid it's an animal like a tiger and a leopard." ”
"The eyes are not like that," Jiang Xi shook his head and said, "The ears are not like them." ”
"Whatever it is, one thing is certain. Xiao Leizi said.
Hearing the laughter of Lei Zi's words, everyone turned their heads to look at him.
"It's a half-blooded beast, or a mutant atavism. Xiao Leizi said and reached out to tug the tongue of the dog, "If it is a wolf dog, the tongue is slippery, and if it is a tiger or leopard blood relative, there will be barbed meat spines on the tongue...... Ouch ......"
The dog cub was already struggling with anxiety, and when he saw Xiao Leizi reaching out to pull his tongue, he became more and more angry, bared his teeth and opened his mouth, and took a bite at Xiao Leizi's wrist, Xiao Leizi let go of his hand in pain, and the dog cub fell to the ground and jumped into the grass.
This bite directly broke the skin and saw blood, laughing at Leizi and screaming and scolding, "What a vicious beast, dare to bite me, how can I spare you." ”
Seeing that Xiao Leizi wanted to chase the cub, Ji Qiu hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, "Okay, senior brother, let's run away, let's quickly pack up and go elsewhere." ”
Hearing Ji Qiu's dissuasion, Xiao Leizi got off the donkey, "Okay, it's not too early, clean up, try again in another place......"
