Chapter 15: All beasts share sorrow and suffering in the world
On the second day, Bai Lan began to hunt.
The object of his diet is the land creature, the cunning and nimble gray-haired fox.
In the bushes, there are blades of grass gently swaying, a white rabbit chewing the tender grass cautiously, two straight ears listening to the movement in all directions, if something is wrong, it will run away.
Suddenly, the white rabbit raised his head, his ears moved, and he heard a movement in front of him, which was coming towards him.
The white rabbit hurriedly turned around and ran, spreading his feet on all fours, and running at the same time, extremely fast.
A gray-haired fox chased after the rabbit, and the white rabbit heard the movement and ran faster, rushing forward regardless of it.
A thick grass was about to arrive in front of him, and the rabbit's short legs were about to leap into it.
But a gray fox that had been hidden for a long time suddenly popped out of the bushes, and its slender paws both poked out and grabbed the white rabbit.
The white rabbit looked frightened, desperately struggling with four little short legs, and the gray-haired fox hurriedly pressed the rabbit with his body, and a sharp fox mouth was about to tear the rabbit's throat.
But at this moment, a terrifying figure appeared behind the gray-haired fox, and the struggling rabbit was suddenly stunned, and even forgot to resist.
The gray-haired fox was about to lower his mouth when he smiled, but then his other companion squeaked in a hurry, and he looked at his companion in confusion.
Another gray-haired fox looked behind him in horror.
What is there to be afraid of when it pouts?
So he slowly turned around and saw a thick white snake raising its head and spitting out a letter and staring at it.
The fox's fur trembled, and in an instant it ran away.
But Bai Lan pounced and bit the gray-haired fox, and he didn't even use the venom, and directly entangled it.
The white rabbit fled in a hurry, and the other gray-haired fox fled without looking back.
After Bai Lan entangled the wild fox to death, he began to enjoy its prey, still swallowing it from the head, swallowing little by little, the muscles between his throats began to send the fox deeper into his body little by little, and after more than ten minutes, only two fox legs were still outside.
At this moment, a powerful beast appeared in Bai Lan's field of vision.
That leopard!
This leopard is one meter five or six in length, which is quite large among leopards.
It walked silently, hiding in the dense weeds and slowly approaching behind Bai Lan.
The wild leopard spotted a large snake feeding!
Immediately decided, the wild leopard pressed down its four legs, and its strong body and muscles began to accumulate, aiming at the target, looking at the seven inches of the big snake, and jumped out.
"Whoosh~"
The wild leopard leaped into the air and pounced on the serpent's back.
"Smack~"
There was a sound of flesh and bone crashing, and the wild leopard was slammed on the head by the tail of the white snake and flew out upside down.
The wild leopard was full of Venus, dizzy, the flesh and blood on his face were blurred, and a blood mark was drawn across the entire leopard's face, and the limbs of the body were numb, and the whole body was in severe pain.
At this moment, the big snake had finished swallowing its prey, and Bai Lan turned the snake's head to look at the leopard that was still trembling with difficulty, and then flicked his tail and stared at it indifferently.
The wild leopard couldn't bear the pressure, whimpered, and quickly fled with blood wounds.
Bai Lan didn't chase it, it couldn't outrun the wild leopard no matter what.
Moreover, Bai Lan also needs it to balance the ecological environment in the valley, and the food chain must always be complete, only in this way can the valley always be vibrant.
Don't look at Bai Lan is only three meters long, but the power he burst out is comparable to the power of a nine-meter-long giant python, think about how much damage such a heavy giant python will bring to the wild leopard with a single blow?
The leopard's face will always bear the scar of a snake's tail until it dies of old age.
……
In the blink of an eye, another month passed, the autumn wind had arrived, the sky was dusk, the leaves were withered, the mountains were golden, and the vast wolf smoke rose beyond the valley.
Dark smoke covered the forest, and countless creatures fled in terror, all fleeing to the top of the mountain.
The hares and foxes walked side by side, the snakes ran away on the ground, the eagles flew away in the sky, the wolves dragged their homes and mouths, the wild foxes cowered, and the chickadees and birds flew into the distance.
The flying insects, bees and butterflies flew slowly, and were swallowed up by the billowing black smoke and terrifying flames behind them.
That year, a large mountain fire broke out outside the valley, and the raging flames burned for seven days and seven nights, filling the sky with black smoke and the smell of corpses all over the mountains, and the fire finally burned hundreds of miles of mountains before being stopped on the side of a wide river.
Bai Lan hid in the depths of the pool, looking at the creatures in the valley that were almost also affected, and only felt sad.
The gray and black of the mountains have replaced the natural forests of red and willow green, and countless centuries-old trees have fallen from dead branches, and the remains are still standing, after years of tempering, the torture of insects and birds, but they were buried by a fire.
Bai Lan knew that it was impossible for the mountains to start a fire by themselves, because there was no thunder for thousands of miles, the weather was already cold, and the temperature was cold, so it could never be a natural fire.
Well, only people are on fire.
The raging fire burned all the beasts, and the birds cried and the blood apes wailed. A fire, countless beasts that have survived so hard still can't escape death. The sky is also sad, the earth is also vast, and the wind and rain cry together, and all beasts are injured.
The autumn rain and the cold rolled and the frost froze, and this winter's forests were no longer green, not yellow, only black and bare mountains, homeless birds, rabbits, and foxes, homeless birds, rabbits, and foxes, and wolves and apes that migrated to the south, and flocks of birds migrated to the deeper mountains to escape from this lifeless homeland, and moved far away to fight for a chance to survive with the more cruel hunters in the mountains.
Even if Bai Lan was not injured, seeing this scene, a cloud of anger rose uncontrollably in his heart, the survival of the beasts was already difficult, and they had to be destroyed by humans, and they would migrate and flee the disaster, just because of the human beings who set fire to the mountains and open up the wasteland.
Perhaps, in a few years, there will be traces of human beings in this valley, disturbing his peaceful life and even threatening his survival.
Bai Lan looked at the various animals that had fled the disaster in the valley, and suddenly felt that he had no appetite.
If last year, he had already fallen into hibernation at this time, and now he hibernated a month later because his body was stronger and more resistant to cold and heat, but he didn't expect to see such a cruel scene.
Natural selection, survival of the fittest. These eight words are all too familiar, and at this moment, Bai Lan's heart is extremely heavy.
With such sorrow, he fell into hibernation.
This time, Bai Lan searched for a cave with only one entrance, and then blocked the hole with pebbles to avoid repeating the danger of last year's hibernation.
This year, the cold wind gusted, and it was colder than usual.
Countless animals have been frozen to death by the cold winter, the villages below the mountains have been turned into towns, and countless busy people have been surveying the mountains and preparing to relocate the population to settle the land and homestead fields.
Every time human beings expand their living environment, all the beasts in nature have one less paradise to survive.
Heavy snow in winter, this year there was a snow disaster in the world, the goose feather snow fell for a full month, crushed the people of the people's houses, and I don't know how many poor people froze to death on the streets, they were found when the corpses were still leaning against the wall of the high gate, inside the wall, is the rich home of brocade clothes and jade food, is the tea and snow appreciation of the Zhumen Qihu.
