Chapter 9 Report the funeral, please mourn!
Feeling that the night owl was leaving, Lin Mu also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he was almost in the most dangerous situation now.
The dry skin on the surface restricts one's body, and one's vision, hearing, and even emotions are greatly affected, not to mention mobility, although it is still active, it is always restrained and difficult to perform.
For the sake of safety, in order to prevent the owl from ambushing in the dark, Lin Mu did not go out anymore, and in the space under the roots of this tree, around a few thick roots separated from the dead scales.
There was no word all night, and there was a strange laugh in the forest from time to time, sometimes far and sometimes near, Lin Mu knew that it was predatoring.
“...... Heard it nearby several times throughout the night, either it was ambushing me or it was ......"
Although I don't know much about owls, I know that this animal is nocturnal, and it can't even see clearly in the bright light during the day, and even flies staggeringly.
This gave Lin Mu a chance to get out of weakness!
Snakes in the molting stage are difficult to prey, because Lin Mu has food reserves, after eating two frogs the next day, he exercised even more frantically.
The frog that was prepared before, considering that after a long time, the meat would rot, he didn't prepare much, but it was just enough to recover a little more after molting.
And now, he must take advantage of the bright light time of almost half a day during the day to shed off this layer of shackles.
The dead skin between the neck and the tail is the easiest to separate, but the head part can only rely on frequent friction and water grinding, which is the most troublesome.
The scorching sun and the hot tree trunks scorched Lin Mu's skin, if it weren't for his sufficient food to replenish his strength and water, he would have been unable to hold on for a long time.
However, this is not without its benefits, those skin that adheres to the dead skin is especially hot in the sun, which invisibly accelerates the difficulty of molting.
The whole body was light, and there was no place to feel uncomfortable, Lin Mu was overjoyed, knowing that the most critical step of molting had been completed.
Finding the sharp stone next to him, Lin Mu stretched out his head and kept paddling at the sharp point.
There was a slight tearing sound, and a dull feeling emanated a little, which stimulated Lin Mu's heart even more.
Finally, Lin Mu, who slowly drilled out of his head, saw the world clearly again!
Pick up the snake and return to the hollow of the tree.
Ever since he knew that the people in the village often came here, Lin Mu had been paying attention to his movements and not letting them find out that there was his presence nearby.
The weakness of birth made Lin Mu appetite great, swallowed the remaining three dead frogs, and saw that it would be dusk in another hour, so Lin Mu swam towards the river again.
After replenishing water and physical strength, there was no time to play in the water, so Lin Mu, who was in a hurry, caught the five frogs into the tree nest again.
It's time to validate your ideas!
As night came, it was getting dark.
In front of the roots of the tree, Lin Mu, who deliberately pretended to rest on his plate, heard the familiar sound of the wind again, and was prepared, and easily retreated to the nest, looking at the owl that used itself as food.
Silently confronted, two pairs of eyes that were not affected by the slightest acquiescence, each determined the terrible murderous intent in each other's eyes!
"This owl has indeed made its home in this neighborhood!"
met for two days in a row, Lin Mu didn't believe that it was an accident.
If it hadn't settled here, there would have been no need to come here every day to forage for food, and Lin Mu was obviously regarded by it as a prey enough to put in his heart!
"Then let's see, who hunts whom!"
The cold vertical pupils, the firm killing intent, are established at this moment!
Sharp teeth, piercing the skin of frogs, and devouring food, Lin Mu, trying to find a way to break the enemy.
"My body is still too small! A foot long, wrapped around that dead bird, I'm afraid not even two laps are not enough. But if you wait for your body to grow to at least one meter, and you are worried about this guy in the middle, not to mention the danger, how much time will it take?"
"What are the cards I can kill it at the moment? Physical fitness? No, although I am much stronger than the average snake of my age, it is still not enough to see in front of it. I will overcome it only with wisdom!"
"Schemes, tools, traps, I have to figure out the situation first!"
After making up his mind, Lin Mu listened carefully to the movement outside, and the thermal vision in his mind also tried his best to distinguish it, and after making sure that it was safe, he chased it in the direction in his memory.
There is no difficulty, this land boundary Lin Mu is simply too familiar.
The huge root system that can be seen everywhere is simply an excellent refuge for Lin Mu, unless it is suddenly attacked without knowing it, there is no absolute advantage in speed, and it is difficult for that owl to catch itself.
This dark, damp, and watery root terrain breeds a large number of rodents, and correspondingly, it has become the territory of rat-eating beasts such as snakes and owls.
On the contrary, there is nothing wrong with the frog-covered river, it seems that the food resources are too abundant, and the nutrition of rats is dozens of times higher than that of frogs.
The killer in the dark night has an extremely sensitive sense of hearing, but its range is still impossible to exceed Lin Mu's double vision.
Hide from afar, observing every action of your opponent's hunt, the speed of flight, and even which claw to poke out first to catch your prey.
These actions are likely to be used on Lin Mu, and every time he understands it, Lin Mu's hope of survival is greater.
"Hey, this bird is so funny, it even stocks food?"
I saw this thing eat it immediately when I caught a mouse, but this time I grabbed it and flew deep into the jungle.
"Perhaps, for the young birds?"
As I followed it from afar, I gradually went deeper into the jungle, and finally, I saw it fly into a nest made of dead branches.
But there were no young birds.
Subsequently, something even more surprising happened to Lin Mu.
I saw that he threw the mouse on the ground, and kept pounceing on the ground, no matter how the mouse escaped, he pounced quickly, knocked the mouse out of balance with his claws, and showed his superb hunting skills with his flexible movements.
When the mouse died, I saw it circling around the tree, rubbing its body against the trunk from time to time, tickling it.
Lin Mu noticed that its movements were very flexible, but it didn't look like it was exercising, but playing, looking at its ignorance at the beginning, and then excited, it was obvious that it had just come into contact with this kind of game!
A thought rushed into his brain like lightning, Lin Mu's mind was chaotic, and there were only four words in his mind that occupied his mind.
"It's learning from me?!"
"Is this still a bird!!"
Chilling to the bone, the beginning of man's domination of the earth is because he can use tools, and the various things that this owl shows do not look like an ignorant beast at all!
Not to mention whether this imitation is useful or not, just talking about this kind of exercise can make the owl's skills a lot stronger!
"Perhaps, this is the reason why it has been arresting me for two days, is it because it found out that I can play a 'game'? Fortunately, I discovered its secret today, otherwise by the time I am sure to capture it, its strength will not know how much more it will increase!"
"Then, I'll send you to hell as soon as possible!"
