Those years of engaging with the system for animal insurance

In the vast world, a piece of wetland was blown by the wind and the mirror surface was wrinkled.On the horizon not far away, countless water birds, wild ducks, and red geese landed on the shallows in groups.

The Populus euphratica trees next to the wetland stretch for hundreds of miles, and it is already late autumn. The golden leaves of Populus euphratica are connected with the Gobi in the distance.

It depicts a beautiful picture of "the sunset and the lonely bird fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky".

On the sparkling water, stood a huge white deer.The double horns are like a pair of mirrors, flourishing like a tree branch, with a metallic chill.

The body is covered with pure white and flawless hair, which is spotless.The sun hits it, emitting colorful brilliance.

A pair of wide wings are folded and folded, like an auspicious beast in mythology.

This is the genetically modified Li Cixin. This time, he turned into a white Tarim red deer.

The colorful brilliance just now looming is the mission gene that was activated this time - hallucinogenic light.

The ability to control the target in a short time can be achieved through light energy, and it can also simulate the refraction, reflection, scattering and other functions of light.

In other words, Li Cixin can also make things like rainbows and mirages, which is really an incomparably magical ability.However, this ability is also limited, it can only be used three times a day, and the big scene can only be used once every three days.

With this new ability, there are now a total of twelve mission abilities.This time, he used all nine other abilities except giantization, infinite proliferation, and biological slime.

"Xiaobao, where am I now?"

"The place where the owner is now is Xinjiang, China, in the early 19th century. This is a wetland south of the Tianshan Mountains. Not far away is Lop Nur."

"It turned out to be Xinjiang!"

Li Cixin has never been here before. In the past, his impression of this "land of the Western Regions" is: the boundless Gobi desert, the camel team with tinkling bells, and the people of all ethnic groups who are good at singing and dancing.

"I didn't expect it to be different from the stereotype. Sure enough, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles." Li Cixin sighed.

Xiaobao: "In Xinjiang today, the environment has not deteriorated as in later generations, and there are still more wetlands and Populus euphratica forests.

Although the average amount of these wetlands is less than that of other regions in China, Xinjiang still has snow mountains, plateaus, meadows, forests, canyons, deserts, Gobi, oases, lakes, wetlands... covering almost all geographical environments. "

"I see." Li Cixin nodded, and asked himself another question:

"This is basically a temperate continental climate, with little precipitation throughout the year. Why can wetlands still form?"

"Scarce precipitation does not mean that there is no precipitation. In addition, the water here is mostly melted from snow in the mountains. Therefore, wetlands, oases, and human settlements are basically a circle around the Tarim Basin. Just in the mountains Formed under the feet, a place suitable for life."

"That's why, let me first look at the basic information of the mission's objectives."

Li Cixin clicked on the mission information and began to understand the life of this extinct tiger.

The Caspian tiger, also known as the Persian tiger and the Caucasus tiger, is also called the Xinjiang tiger in China.

It is one of the nine tiger subspecies discovered by humans.

The Caspian tiger is huge and is the third largest tiger subspecies after the Bengal tiger and Amur tiger.

Male Caspian tigers can weigh up to 169-240kg, while females are much smaller, weighing about 85-135kg.

According to the genetic research of later generations, this tiger has the closest relationship with the Siberian tiger and has only been differentiated for thousands of years.From the perspective of the evolution of a species, this is really a fleeting effort.

Of course, the entire nine subspecies of tigers are all descendants of tiger ancestors that survived the eruption of Mount Toba 7 years ago. It can be said that tigers are a very novel animal.

The Caspian tiger was once widely distributed in China, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Mongolia and Russia.

It is the most widely distributed tiger ever.

In the ancient Roman Colosseum, the tiger that fought with slaves and Barbary lions was the Caspian tiger.

There is a saying that the fate of the Caspian tiger is closely connected with the Silk Road between East and West.

Loulan, the hometown of the Caspian Tiger, used to be a very important hub on the Silk Road.Both strategic position and economic power are very important.

With the growth of the population, a large number of forests have been cut down, and many places have been reclaimed to cultivate food and cash crops, especially water-drinking melons and fruits like grapes.

Coupled with the destruction of wars, climate change caused rivers to divert, and the saltwater lake Lop Nur next to Loulan disappeared and became a barren land.

With people retreating and entering, Loulan gradually changed from a wealthy country to a ghost town where people go to empty buildings.Only a bare ruins are left to future generations.

There is another theory for the demise of the Caspian tiger, that is, human activities have reduced the area of ​​wetlands, and prey such as wild boars have also decreased.Coupled with their beautiful fur, they are targeted by poachers.

Until 1900, Sven Hedin, a Swedish explorer with the same reputation as Nobel, discovered the ancient city of Loulan in Xinjiang and discovered the surviving Caspian tiger.

At this time, the Caspian tigers are already on the verge of extinction, and a small number of them are still lingering in oases and wetlands.

In April 1980, the last Caspian tiger in the world died alone in the jungle.

According to official investigations: of the last ten Caspian tigers on earth, except for two that died normally, the remaining eight were all killed by poachers

In 1981, the IUCN officially announced to the world that the Caspian tiger was extinct.

Li Cixin spread his wings, "iron hooves" splashed water and jumped up.Use the invisibility ability to disappear into the air as a hurricane.

He didn't fly far, and he found a few houses.

It seems to be Uighur people, they are preparing to cook, the whole family is around the stove, making baked pancakes.

There is also a large pot of rice beside it. There is very little white rice in it, and a lot of raisins and red dates are put in it, which looks very sweet.

Li Cixin looked at it for a while, then continued to fly towards the distant forest.

There should still be Caspian tigers here, especially in these inaccessible places. If he was lucky, he might be able to come across them.

Wings folded and landed smoothly.Li Cixin looked at the dense forest in front of him, and strode in.

Today, he's the size of a moose, and with his special abilities, nothing threatens his existence.

A huge white deer with wings wanders in the forest, like an elf coming out of a fairy tale.Many small animals hid far away in the dark, poking their heads out to look at this big guy they had never seen before.

Li Cixin walked around, but couldn't find anything he wanted.

According to the data, the Caspian tiger in Huaxia Kingdom became extinct around 1916, and there are still about a hundred years left. If you look for it patiently, it should be no problem.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, he planned to go out to find a place to rest, but he didn't expect to have unexpected gains.

There is a small wetland outside the forest, and a group of wild pigs are drinking water beside it.

Just as Li Cixin stepped out of the forest with one foot, a yellow figure also shot out from the forest. In an instant, the herd of wild boars fled in all directions.

The Caspian tiger that appeared suddenly was not big, like a bullet that hit the wild boar's back, its sharp claws hooked into the wild boar's body, and bit the wild boar's spine.

Hearing the sharp roar of the wild boar, a moment later his limbs stiffened and he fell down, his spine was bitten off alive.

Li Cixin had been a tiger before, and the success of this hunt was perfect.If tigers also go to school, this paragraph will definitely be included in the "textbook".

Judging from the size of this Caspian tiger, it should be a female tiger.

After the hunt was successful, it licked the blood around its mouth, cautiously stared at the giant white deer in the distance, and occasionally exposed its ears and bared its sharp canines as a warning.

Li Cixin understands that this is a manifestation of the other party's fear, after all, his body size is enough to give it a sense of oppression.

It's not easy to hunt, so I don't bother the tigress to eat.He didn't get close, just looked at each other from a distance.

But in the next second, a scene that surprised him appeared.

Three chubby little tigers ran out of the woods.

From that look, you can tell that the tigress takes good care of them.

Now the cub has not yet fully weaned, but it can still eat some meat.

Li Cixin was lying on the ground, quietly watching the family of four enjoying the feast.

The tigress had just eaten two bites, and the vision popped out.

I saw the tigress, who was still feasting, looked at Lin Zi as if facing a formidable enemy.

Li Cixin also regained his energy, staring closely at the situation over there.

The tigress stood up and entered a state of alert, the hair on her body stood on end like steel needles.Opening his mouth wide, he let out a warning sound.

The three cubs cleverly ran to the grass and hid.

A huge figure paced out of the woods, with a heavy breathing sound, accompanied by low footsteps.

Li Cixin could see it clearly, it was a brown bear!

One of the strongest terrestrial carnivores.

The brown bear in front of him was about the size of three female tigers.For the female tiger, this is not something she can deal with, let alone she has three cubs with her.

Bears are omnivores, despite their huge size, there are many film and television dramas that like to describe bears as stupid, honest, and kind.

But in fact, the brown bear is a hexagonal warrior.They are very cunning and powerful.The speed may not be as good as cats in short distances, but that doesn't mean they are slow.

Their speed can reach 56 kilometers per hour. The most terrifying thing is that their endurance is very good and they can run at a very fast speed for a long time.

This is unmatched by cats. Many prey are caught by brown bears running long distances alive.

In the face of top predators like tigers, brown bears will naturally not let them go. If they can beat them, they will often attack weak tigers.

In the wild, injuries to brown bears are not as serious as injuries to big cats.

Brown bears are injured, they can still rely on plants to satisfy their hunger, and there is a great possibility that they can survive after the wounds heal.

But for big cats, injury basically means losing the ability to hunt, except of course for lions that live in groups.Without the ability to hunt, felines that live alone can hardly survive.

Therefore, unless cats are pushed to a desperate situation, they generally will not go all out, because they cannot bear the consequences of injury.

Moreover, brown bears also have a very cruel behavior in the eyes of humans, and they like to eat their prey alive.

The current situation is very dangerous for the female tiger.It slowly retreated while threatening the huge brown bear in front of it.

It knows very well that today's dinner cannot be kept, and it has to give up food to save its life.

The tigress was about ten meters away from the dead boar and was about to turn around and leave.

The big brown bear sniffed the wild boar, and unexpectedly, suddenly attacked the retreating tigress.

Huge body, like a car galloping towards.The tigress' reflexes were not weak, and she burst out instantly, climbing towards the nearest tree.

The brown bear is surrounded under the tree, it can't do anything about it.Most bears can climb trees, but not the adult brown bear, which is too big.

You can't hold the big one, but the small one is fine too!

The brown bear circled around under the tree for a few times, but finally gave up pestering the tigress and turned to look for the cub that was hiding.

The three cubs hid in the grass in the wetland, motionless.

Brown bears are very short-sighted, but their senses of smell and hearing are very sensitive, and they quickly locked the general location of the cubs.

Seeing the brown bear go towards her cub, the tigress was restless in the tree, just when the brown bear just found the cub and was about to pounce on it.

The tigress charged up and jumped, and jumped six or seven meters in the air, forming a perfect parabola, and landed on the brown bear's back.

The back was hit hard, the tiger's claws pierced into the flesh, the brown bear frantically swung up its fat body, the tigress opened her mouth to bite the brown bear's thick neck, but failed.

The tigress had no choice but to land smoothly.

The huge bear's paw came with the sound of piercing through the air.

The tigress is not a vegetarian either, and ferocious beasts that can grow up safely in nature are not good stubble.

The speed of the explosion avoided this fatal blow.It came to the side of the brown bear, and ruthlessly brought out several bloodstains on the opponent's shoulder.

This suddenly angered the giant beast, it raised its palm and patted it.

This time, the tigress was half a beat behind, after all, she had wasted too much energy hunting and climbing up and down trees before.

Ju Li got on its hind legs, and the tigress rolled twice on the ground and got up quickly.I avoided it for several meters, but my legs were already lame.

A brown bear attack followed.

Li Cixin is currently caught in a fierce ideological struggle, and this matter is considered a natural competition.But if he doesn't make a move, the tigress' life will be in jeopardy.

The remaining three cubs will definitely not survive.

Li Cixin was in a dilemma, but he still made a decision. He was about to make a move, just when he was about to intervene in this struggle.

An accident happened!
