Blue Star Survival Project: Animal Edition

Shengcun shuttled on the mountain road, carefully avoiding the stones on the side of the road.

These look like ancient architectural relics. In the crevices of the stones, the thin grass stalks are tenaciously protruding, and the withered yellow leaves are shivering in the autumn wind.

The oncoming mountain wind was squeezed into a narrow stream, and when it blew across the stone wall, it made a long howling sound like a wolf. The hair on the back was blown to this side, as painful as being pulled out.He had to keep his body close to the ground to reduce the risk of hair loss.

The gloomy sky, the sudden gust of wind, even Sheng Cun, who has no experience in mountain life, knows that heavy snow is coming.

He clenched the paper bag with the seeds in his mouth tightly for fear that it would be blown away.After struggling through the mountain pass, he found a cave not far away.

Strictly speaking, there are several caves.

Perhaps it is the erosion of icebergs and snowmelt over the years, or it may be the expansion of wild animals from generation to generation. This mountain wall is full of holes, large and small, and it is a bit like a karst landform.

No wonder the system insisted on crossing the mountain pass within today. It turned out that it was for me to find a nest in the snowy day.

Sheng Cun's heart warmed, and he happily went to investigate the situation.

He pressed his nose to the ground, picking out the scent marks left by the cave dwellers.This familiar smell should be a red fox, this one should be a passing weasel, this feels weird, I have never seen it before...

A variety of different smells mix together to form a complex web.However, the rare species illustrated book could not recognize several creatures at all, and he could only judge that there were some fresh breaths in it, which should have been left in the past few days.

Um?This is……

When smelling in front of a narrow hole, Sheng Cun suddenly caught a strong familiar smell.

He raised his head, his wet nose was exposed to the cold wind, and his mind instantly cleared up a lot.

Then he turned his head away, sniffed his creaking hole, lowered his head again, and took a deep breath.

No mistake, this similar smell should belong to another wolf clan.

"Whoa?"

He greeted vaguely towards the dark hole.

It was silent inside, and there was no feeling of living things at all.

Sure enough.

Sheng Cun sighed lightly.Since just now, he has been wondering why every cave is empty since this is a place especially suitable for winter residence.

Especially those few fresh breaths, they obviously considered staying here temporarily, why did they leave in such a hurry?

He looked up at the sky, the snow was estimated to fall tonight.

The altitude here is more than 1000 meters, and there is an alpine meadow nearby, which is bare and has no shelter.

The nearest hill with trees was still far away, and even if he rushed there before the snow fell, it would be too late to hunt to fill his stomach.

Once it snows, the temperature will definitely drop sharply, and I don't know how long it will last. There is not enough "fuel" in the stomach to provide heat, and this first snow day will be very difficult.

After much deliberation, Shengcun decided to take shelter from the wind and snow in the cave first.

So he flicked his tail and got into the wolf den left by his compatriots.

It was dark in front of his eyes, Sheng Cun blinked his eyes, gradually adapting to the dim light inside.

In front of him was a passage that needed to be crawled forward. He gritted his teeth and crawled through this section, and found that there was something strange in this cave that looked like a hole from the outside.

There is a space enough for two people to stand side by side. The outer circle is a supporting stone wall, and the inner is a relatively simple earth cave.

As Sheng Cun approached, the cave wall was covered with deep and shallow claw marks. Long and deep marks covered the entire surface, while some small claw marks overlapped on the upper layer.

There is a small pile of bones piled up at the entrance of the cave, which should be some small rodents based on his experience in the time of the scops owl.

The environment seemed familiar, and Shengcun was almost certain that the cave was a nursery dug out by a pair of wolf parents.Judging from the faint smell left, it should have been abandoned for a while.

As it happens, such a narrow entrance should be able to prevent most of the natural enemies.

Sheng Cun was somewhat relieved, he put down the seed bag in his mouth, moved his sore jaw, and then got out of the wolf's den, ready to find something to eat.

For example, a rabbit looking for hay among the rocks.

Shengcun's eyes lit up, because he found that there were several cubs in the hare group who didn't know much about the world.

This kind of little guy is best handled, and the mother rabbit is burying her head in grazing and neglecting her children.

Sheng Cun decided to try a new method that he had seen in the novel.

He found the downwind, quietly sneaked to a place not far from the hare, hid behind a big rock and waited patiently.

There is a large grass next to this stone, and he believes that cubs tempted by food will come soon.

Soon, the two cubs jumped and approached, but after all, this place was far away from their mother, and they were hesitating whether to go forward.

A short, fluffy thing protruded from the grass, flicking playfully.

The eyes of the cubs were immediately attracted, and their strong curiosity drove them to find out.

In the next second, this thing disappeared from the sight.

?

The two cubs moved forward involuntarily with their dark eyes open.

Soon, the fluffy thing poked its head out again, bouncing around in the grass, as if calling: Come on, come on~

This is absolutely an irresistible temptation, the two cubs are scrambling to jump forward, and they are about to catch it——

"Brush!"

The grass swayed violently, revealing a huge gray creature inside.

In the last sight of the cubs, there was only a terrifying bloody mouth left.

It turns out that the wolf's tail really has such a usage, and it really is that art comes from life.

Shengcun smacked his lips in satisfaction, watching the frightened surviving hares run away.

He shook his hair, feeling a chill inexplicably.

The sky is like a rag, so gloomy that water can be squeezed out, and the snow is probably coming soon.

Sheng Cun picked up the prey and hurried back to the wolf den.

The cave was warm in winter and cool in summer, so he curled up comfortably and began to enjoy dinner.

The other prey can be used as a food reserve, and it can last at least two days.

He felt an eerie sense of well-being.

In the middle of the night, when Shengcun was falling asleep, he heard movement outside.

There is also a rustling sound in the whistling wind, that is the sound of snowflakes falling.

Sheng Sheng turned over in the warm cave and fell back to sleep.

The next day, Sheng opened his eyes in the darkness, not knowing what year it was.

He climbed to the entrance of the cave, and there was a coolness from the tip of his nose, and a snowflake fell on it, and then it melted quickly.

It was white outside, and snowflakes danced in the air under the strong wind. You couldn't even see the grass on the opposite side, and there was only the sound of wind and snow between the sky and the earth.

Going out in this kind of weather is simply death, so it's better to stay in the cave honestly.

Sheng Cun shivered, and silently retracted his head.

He stayed in the cave, scratching the ground with his paws boredly, trying to write nice characters, and then brushed them off with his big fluffy tail, and started all over again.

When you are bored, any movement around you will be infinitely magnified.

"Snoo—snoo—"

The whistling wind was mixed with voices that shouldn't be there.

Sheng Cun's drooping ears instantly stood up, and he quickly turned to locate the direction of the sound.

It seems... right next door?

The hair all over his body exploded like an electric shock, and the unknown smell that was mixed before emerged in his memory.

As for why those animals moved, he seemed to have vaguely grasped the answer.
