my mountain and river space

Chapter 194 Four Unlike Clouded Leopards
Xu Ling swept away the pheasants in the bushes, and there were still several nests of pheasant eggs!It's rare to meet so many at once!This must be their lair!With the excitement of a great victory, Xu Ling wanted to leave, but an uninvited guest came to the right, and it seemed that he wanted to come here to see if he could hunt pheasants.

A viper, nearly one and a half meters long, which is considered an adult in the viper family.First, he kept sniffing the air on the edge of the bushes, and then slowly drilled into the bushes.Very quiet, it seems that this Viper is also a veteran, having done this kind of thing more than once.Xu Ling didn't care anymore, there was nothing in it, if you want to find food, you have to find another place!
Quickly jumping over a few weeds and bushes, Xu Ling began to pay attention to his movements when he was approaching the foot of the mountain. After all, there were two springbok grazing at the foot of the mountain, but they were extremely vigilant, and their ears were shaking slightly anytime and anywhere.Once you hear a little noise, immediately raise your head and look around, and never eat grass if you are not sure about your safety.And the four legs are tense, ready to run away at any time!

Xu Ling approached slowly under the cover of bushes and grass, and finally heaved a sigh of relief when he was more than ten meters away. The two guys were all within his sensing range, and they couldn't run away!After finishing these two guys, Xu Ling aimed at the elk again, commonly known as the four-faced beast!These guys used to be widely distributed in East Asia.Later, due to natural climate change and human factors, it was almost extinct at the end of the Han Dynasty.In the Yuan Dynasty, in order to be used for hunting, as long as the remnants of elk could be found, they were captured and transported to the Royal Hunting Garden to be raised.By the middle of the 19th century, only a group remained in the Royal Hunting Garden of BJ Nanhaizi.It's a pity that when the Allied Forces of the Eight Nations invaded the imperial garden of the Old Summer Palace, they were all captured and killed, and all of them disappeared in China. It can be said that what Cao Lao and the others hunted in the 60s and [-]s was the only wild population found.

Later, those invaders brought the elk back to Europe, until it was purchased by Britain in 1898 and bred to 255, and some individuals were sent back to China in 1983.Later, more elk returned to their hometowns, and some were released into the wild.But the release sites are not here, but in the Yancheng Wetland Reserve in Suzhou Province and the Shishou Elk Nature Reserve in Beihu Province. Only then did the wild population expand to two to three thousand!
Could Xu Ling be excited to see this? This is the first place where pure wild elk has been found so far!Xu Ling always thought that Grandpa Baixue and the others had hunted them down, but unexpectedly, there were quite a few!I didn’t see everything clearly above. There should be three populations here. I thought that the three groups of elk were not in the same place. They were far apart and grazed leisurely in the sunset, and occasionally ran to the bushes or thorns to eat young shoots.

What Xu Ling was worried about was not on this side, but on the opposite side!This will inevitably alarm other animals, and it is impossible to get all of them into the space.The deer is the most vigilant, and will run wildly at the slightest disturbance, and will even run away with other creatures. "It's a bit confusing, try it!" Xu Ling thought for a while, and simply made a disguise, imitating the appearance of a special soldier on TV, tying up branches, leaves, and weeds all over his body, only one eye was exposed, and his face was painted green sap!

Slowly follow the cover of the bushes and walk to the other side, the distance is not short. On a small plain with a radius of 2000 meters, even if the creek is not wide and the size of the two sides is not average, it takes more than ten minutes to walk at this speed.

After crossing the creek, Xu Ling breathed a sigh of relief!During the period, occasionally a few hares ran to him to graze, and one of them gnawed on the buds of the branches on his feet in a daze, without knowing Xu Ling!This made Xu Ling feel funny, but he didn't expect that his disguise was quite successful!What Xu Ling didn't realize was that it had something to do with his temperament.As Bai Lao said, there is an air that makes people feel elegant and dusty all over his body!Like Mu Nature, this will make the animals put down their vigilance and want to get close, otherwise the animals at home would not like to drink Xu Ling so much to stay together!

There are a few deer deer behind the bushes in front, which Xu Ling needs.What Xu Ling was puzzled about was that the deer rarely came out in groups, so why did they get together today.Slowly moving to the bushes, Xu Ling's mental induction was finally able to completely surround them.Just when Xu Ling wanted to collect them into the space, he suddenly found another predator appearing opposite the deer group: a leopard-like guy!The whole body is light yellow mixed with light black, and there are cloud-like dark markings on both sides of the body, hence its name.The pupils are rectangular, the teeth are sharp, and the length ratio is the largest among existing cats. Killing deer and elk is just like playing!But why I didn’t choose elk at this time? It may have something to do with its weight.These guys can't weigh more than 40 kilograms at most. Dragging a deer weighing [-] to [-] kilograms is obviously more troublesome than dragging an elk weighing [-] kilograms or [-] kilograms!Even whether it can be dragged is a problem. If a leopard or tiger comes, its efforts will be in vain!
In order to prevent the clouded leopard from scaring the snake, Xu Ling got all of them into the space at the moment when it suddenly jumped out of the grass and was about to throw down the deer. Other animals around were startled, because when they saw the predator was about to run away, they suddenly jumped into the space. Found it gone!The body that stopped and sprinted for a few steps looked back suspiciously, there was nothing, not even the deer.But animals are animals after all, and after a while, they lowered their heads and went to eat grass vigilantly.

Xu Ling let out a sigh of relief, fearing that the animals would startle away in large numbers, which would cause a chain reaction.The spirit entered the space to appease them, and moved them to the grassland.The springbok are already grazing leisurely now. Depending on the situation, they are very adaptable. There are no natural enemies here, and the aquatic plants are lush enough. They are happy to leave!But when the clouded leopard joins, their good days will come to an end, and this guy will only last three to five days at most.Of course, it is impossible for Xu Ling to let him catch them completely. The catfish effect can exist, but if you put a few grass carp seedlings into a big catfish, they will be shot to death with one tail!
The clouded leopard seems to be a national first-class protected animal, and the few are almost extinct.Xu Ling felt that this was a contribution to protecting it.It's a pity that there is only one here, otherwise it would be best to make a pair.

Next, Xu Ling slowly approached the two groups of deer deer nearby. Perhaps thanks to his temperament and camouflage, although he brushed past many animals, he was not alarmed.Hare and Xu Ling are not interested, there is already a lot of space!These two groups add up to exactly 23 individuals, counting the first batch to [-] individuals, it is considered a large group!

"The fur of these guys is really ugly." The roe deer, originally called musk deer, is widely distributed in our country, and it can be found in broad-leaved forests, mixed broad-leaved and coniferous forests, and coniferous forests.What I like most is the place where Xu Ling is located, shrubs and thorn forests, because this kind of place is rich in food, has a wide view, and there are shrubs and thorns that can block predators when they are chasing, so they often rest overnight in this kind of place.As for why they are in groups, it is also possible that the roe deer will gather in groups in advance because they are in heat in winter and spring.

The deer's fur is dark brown, coupled with flesh-colored spots, making it extremely easy to confuse predators when running on bushes, thorn forests and dead leaves under trees.Just like African zebras, they are all protective colors!Moreover, the most valuable deer is musk. Male musk deer begin to secrete musk after two years of age, and the best secretion period is around 10 years old. Each musk deer can secrete about 50g.After the musk sachet is dried, the musk that is cut open and taken out from the sachet is a dark brown granule with a bad smell and can be removed after being treated with alcohol.

Although there is only so much musk sachet, experienced veterans can take it repeatedly, but this requires the use of herbs to provide reasonable nutrition to the male musk deer!Musk has a special aroma and bitter taste after being dried, and can be made into spices or used as medicine.Everyone knows that musk ointment is very fragrant.But with or without musk is not clear.

However, although it is good, some people should not use it. For example, pregnant women, if they smell it too much or use it, it may cause miscarriage. It is said to be very effective in breaking blood and removing blood stasis.

After dealing with it, Xu Ling looked at the herds of elk on the left and right. There were two groups on the left, roughly thirty or so!Good stuff, but it’s not easy to go there, you have to go around the black bear, a little black bear that looks like an underage is playing leisurely, maybe just had a good time eating honey!

Looking at it, Xu Ling still felt that he had to go to the right first, and it was getting late, so he should quickly arrest some and rush back to the mountain. Don't worry about where Bai Xue is alone!Xu Ling unconsciously quickened his pace this time, and when he was about to approach, he stepped on a small hole carefully, and a piece of dead branch just broke with a "crack".Xu Ling's face changed color, his heart skipped a beat, and he saw an unnoticed fly away in an unknown year not far away, and it also screamed in panic, frightening the four-faced creature not far in front of Xu Ling. Flee in all directions and disappear into the distance!
Xu Ling sighed helplessly, and said to himself: "Sure enough, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. If I didn't pay attention, the rescue effort would be defeated." Shaking his head, he regained his composure and tried to keep calm.

Looking back, the animals on the other side were not affected, they just raised their heads and watched vigilantly for a while.Obviously, it's a little far away, so I don't know what's going on.

Although Xu Ling quickened his pace this time because it was getting dark, he was highly concentrated and tried to use the grass and shrubs to avoid the sight of animals.Also bypassed the little black bear and approached the largest herd of elk!Xu Ling was also not sure if the other herd would run away if this herd of elk disappeared.So choose the one with the most number.Fortunately, Xu Ling didn't startle when he approached them a few meters away. After cleaning up these things, he looked at the few by the creek and didn't run away. It was just that the two leading elk looked here with some doubts, watching vigilantly. It took a while to continue eating grass!On the one hand, it is approaching the mountains and forests to the south.

Xu Ling lurks for a while, feeling a little anxious. Seeing that the sun has sunk behind the mountain, the shadow of the mountain is getting longer and longer, and the sky is starting to get dark. Maybe these guys will leave here and go into the forest.

He bowed his head and started grazing at the sight of them, Xu Ling bent over and ran towards them quickly, not caring about whether they were alarmed or not, and if they all ran away, he would have to find someone to reason with.It's a pity that Xu Ling's movement was a bit big, and finally a few ran away. Counting the ones caught earlier, there were a total of 20, which is not a lot!
