Chapter 8 Yangshan Leopard [Seeking to Collect Red Tickets]
PS: Urgent need for red ticket collection support!
When Zhao Yuan arrived at the foot of Xiaoyang Mountain, he was dumbfounded.
Listening to the name Xiaoyang Mountain, you may think that the mountain peak is low, but in fact, the peak of Xiaoyang Mountain is extremely steep, and the vegetation in the mountain is lush, not to mention human beings, even birds and animals, it is not easy to move in this ice and snow, if it causes an avalanche, it is still a question whether you can go down the mountain alive.
Just hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yuan gritted his teeth and trekked into the mountains in the thick snow.
The road into the mountain has been covered with heavy snow, Zhao Yuan is not familiar with the road conditions, just going up the mountain, it took a day and a night, if it was not for the good body exercised in more than a year, he would have frozen to death in the mountain.
However, Rao is Zhao Yuan is young and strong, and he is still half tired and half dead when he climbs the middle of the mountain.
What's worse is that on this day and night, Zhao Yuan didn't even see a rabbit, let alone a large herbivore elk.
Xiaoyang Mountain is like no life, except for the covered snow is still white, dead and quiet.
At this time, Zhao Yuan no longer expects any elk, as long as it is prey, it is within his hunting range, even if it is a rabbit that has always been able to fill his stomach.
The next day, Zhao Yuan found a mountain nest, the mountain nest was leeward, covered with very thin snow, like this kind of place, most of the herbivores will patronize, looking for the grass roots covered by snow to satisfy hunger.
After Zhao Yuan set some traps in the snow, he found a tree hole that was downwind and waited. In such a harsh natural environment, he had no choice but to wait for the rabbit.
Whether he can catch the prey or not is no longer something that Zhao Yuan can control, everything depends on his luck.
an hour.
Two hours.
Ten hours.
——
On the night of the third day of the new year, it snowed again.
The fierce cold wind whistled sharply, blowing the snow that spread out on the mountain ridge into giant dragons, rolling against the snow. The storm was furious, like a million lions roaring and galloping, rolling thousands of white dragons into the sky, and the whole space was filled with white powder, like smoke and fog, but without the softness of smoke, hitting the face like a pinprick.
There was some hay in the tree hole, and the temperature was slightly higher, but Zhao Yuan was still about to freeze, he was already thinly dressed, and he couldn't raise a fire to keep warm, plus there was little food left, and the energy he replenished was not enough to provide enough heat for his body, which made him hungry and cold.
Fortunately, on the afternoon of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the snowstorm stopped, and the snow in the mountain nest was thicker.
"One more day, one more day!"
Zhao Yuan muttered silently, his body rubbing slightly to maintain his body temperature. He had already made a decision, if he hadn't caught his prey tomorrow, he would have to go home, otherwise, his life would be sent to this mountain.
I don't know if it was Zhao Yuan's chatter that had an effect or was transferred, just when Zhao Yuan was drowsy, the god of luck came.
The drowsy Zhao Yuan inadvertently glanced outside and found an elk, he thought it was a hallucination of hunger at first, and pinched himself hard before he was sure that it was a legendary elk in the mountain nest.
The elk's brown fur stands out in the snow, and its tall figure is even more elegant.
The elk was vigilant, looking around as they went, occasionally looking down a few times in the snow to look for rhizomes beneath the snow.
Gradually, the elk walked towards the trap set by Zhao Yuan.
Just when Zhao Yuan's heart was about to jump to his throat, suddenly, the elk stopped, raised his head, opened his ears in all directions, and shook his nose.
"Did it find out?"
Zhao Yuan held his breath and didn't dare to move, for fear of being discovered by the alert elk and giving up his efforts.
Disheveled!
There was a muffled sound.
Before Zhao Yuan could react, on the hillside opposite the elk, a huge yellow shadow swooped down in the air and fell heavily on the snow, splashing countless snowflakes.
The speed was too fast, and Zhao Yuan hadn't had time to see what kind of beast it was, and the yellow shadow had already shot towards the elk like an arrow off the string, the speed was terrifying.
The alert elk was ready to flee and turned around and ran towards the mountain.
The elk's running movement is vertical and vertical, and the thick snow does not affect its speed in the slightest.
There is no doubt that this is a duel of speed and power.
It was a life-or-death moment.
Facing this beast that suddenly came out, Zhao Yuan was stunned, he didn't expect that not far from his side, there was a fierce carnivore.
It seems that this elk will not be caught......
Disheveled!
Suddenly, the running yellow figure stumbled on the snow, and its huge body kept rolling on the snow with a terrifying roar, and the earth seemed to tremble.
By this time, the elk had already fled without a trace.
Pitfall!
Seeing the yellow figure fluttering and struggling in the snow, Zhao Yuan suddenly came to his senses, when the beast chased the elk, it happened to pass through the trap set by himself.
Before he had time to think, Zhao Yuan rushed out of the tree hole with a dagger in his hand and rushed towards the beast.
Zhao Yuan set up a chain set, not a trap set for carnivores, the beast had just been trapped, panicked and struggling, once it was sober, it would bite off the chain set with sharp teeth.
Now, Zhao Yuan had no choice, he had to kill the beast before it could bite the rope.
The beast found Zhao Yuan and pounced in Zhao Yuan's direction frantically, but unfortunately, the chain sleeve on its leg firmly trapped it, and it could only move in a small area.
After Zhao Yuan arrived, he kept a safe distance from the beast, constantly provoking the beast, consuming the beast's physical strength, and not giving it a chance to bite off the serial sleeve.
It was only at this time that Zhao Yuan carefully observed this beast that he had never seen before.
This beast is full of sharp teeth, fierce eyes, more than four meters long, at least five hundred catties, the whole body is bright yellow hair, mixed with some irregular small black dots, it looks extremely noble and beautiful.
What is this?
Looking at the fierce gaze of the beast, Zhao Yuan felt a chill down his spine. Fortunately, this beast was trapped in a chain trap, and if you meet it in a narrow way, it will definitely be a dead end.
The beast has an extremely strong temperament, under Zhao Yuan's provocation, it keeps jumping up and trying to catch Zhao Yuan, and every time it falls heavily on the ground, like dozens of times, the beast is exhausted, opening its tongue wide, and spitting out hot air.
Zhao Yuan didn't dare to be careless, looking for some branches and stones, still provoking the beast and squeezing the other party's physical strength.
After a full hour, the beast really lost its strength, and lay on the ground motionless.
Zhao Yuan cautiously walked around the back of the beast and poked the beast with a branch, the beast struggled to stand up and resist, and then fell heavily on the snow.
Zhao Yuan repeatedly provoked from all directions, and finally, the entire body of the beast was bound by a chain of traps.
Whether it's the sharp teeth in the mouth of a beast or the sharp claws, it is a deadly weapon, and even a slight stroke will kill you.
If he was injured in this wilderness, it was no different from death, and Zhao Yuan didn't dare to hold it up.
After determining that the beast was completely trapped, Zhao Yuan cut the beast's trachea. After the beast was completely dead, Zhao Yuan drank a few mouthfuls of hot blood and replenished his strength before starting to peel the skin.
Zhao Yuan's movements were very careful, trying to keep his fur intact. He knew very well that the meat of this carnivore was of little value, and he couldn't take it away when the snow covered the mountains, and the most valuable thing was the fur, and the more complete the fur, the more valuable it was.
"That's it!"
Zhao Yuan chewed the raw meat in his mouth, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at the flawless animal skin on the snow with satisfaction.
"You hunted it?"
A voice suddenly sounded behind Zhao Yuan.
The voice was too sudden, Zhao Yuan didn't have the slightest preparation, he suddenly rolled and stood up, looking behind him with an embarrassed expression.
A few feet away, a young girl stood.
The girl was tall and tall, with long hair draped over a waistcoat and gently held by a purple-red ribbon. In this icy and snowy place, he actually wore a thin pink dress, standing on the snow, his skin was better than snow, delicate and incomparable, his complexion was exquisite, and he was full of light, as if there was a haze and a light haze, which could not be forced to look at.
Although the girl is proud, she is a little immature, but she is only fifteen or sixteen years old.
