Blue Star Survival Project: Animal Edition

"Gollum-gollum-"

Sheng Cun inexplicably remembered the comfortable purring sound that the cat made when petting the cat in the past.However, this voice was obviously much thicker, as if it came from a large chest cavity.

He jumped out of the cave against the wind and snow, and his dark fur was instantly covered with a layer of white snowflakes.

The thin snow on the ground covered his footsteps, and the biting cold air eliminated the wolf's smell well.

He slowly moved forward along the direction he had noted just now, and decided to take advantage of the cover of the wind and snow to find out.

A cave appeared in sight, and Shengxuan lingered around the entrance of the cave. The strange smell was particularly strong, and a dull sound came from the depths of the cave.

It seems to be here.

Sheng Cun visually measured the distance between the cave and the wolf's lair, and it was only a dozen meters away, almost a wall between them.

He leaned down and carefully put the wolf's head into the hole.

The open hole couldn't block the wind and snow at all, but the tip of the cold nose still felt a hint of warmth.

His eyes quickly adapted to the dim light in the cave, and Shengcun saw a pile of jagged stone pillars, leaving a gap with a diameter of more than one meter in the middle.

He approached slowly, peeping through the gap.

It was the size of a small room inside, and the heat that belonged to living things rushed towards his face one by one. He smelled a turbid smell mixed with meat, berry and fishy smells.

A group of dark figures curled up in the shadows, and the sound of snoring was constantly reflected in the small space, forming a 360° surround sound.Sheng Cun could see its slightly undulating back, it seemed that it was soundly asleep.

Can't get any closer.

The animal is as tall as it is standing when lying down, and if it is disturbed, it cannot be beaten at all.

Sheng Cun raised his head and found a mass of fallen hair between the stone pillars.

He picked up the lock of hair and withdrew without a sound.

The eyes became white again, Shengcun spat out the hair from his mouth, and immediately stepped on it with the sole of his foot.

It is generally brown-black, with a hint of red on the tail.About 10 cm long, rough texture.

It really is a brown bear...

Sheng Cun raised his foot, and the strand of hair was swept away by the strong wind and disappeared in the flying snowflakes.

Brown bears in the Alps have a habit of hibernating and give birth to their cubs during the winter.

No animal is willing to be a neighbor with a time bomb. When brown bears took a fancy to these caves, their original owners fled overnight.

The first snow is coming, the temperature has reached below zero, and the day when the brown bear hibernates is not far away.Their movements became more and more sluggish, so that it was difficult to detect that Shengcun had sneaked into its lair.

Don't stay here for long.

If the brown bear finds that there are creatures next door, it will inevitably be treated as an extra meal.

Shengcun returned to the warm wolf den, closed his eyes and fell asleep, making up his mind to slip away as soon as the snow stopped.

The snow fell for three full days, and the stored food had been eaten up. Sheng Cun felt restless sounds coming from his stomach.

Fortunately, on the third night, the sound outside finally stopped. He stretched himself, picked up the seeds and went out of the hole.

The snow has already covered the ankles, and the white snow reflects a glimmer of light, and the vision is much better than usual.

The soles of his feet suddenly stepped on the icy snow, and Sheng Cun shivered suddenly. He stretched out his warm tongue to lick his paws, and then slowly put them on the snow to let himself adapt to the temperature.

The thick fur insulates the cold air, and the limbs maintain the sensitivity they should have.Sheng Cun shook his head and began to trek in the snow.

Under the feet, the shallow pits stepped by the wolf's claws are one after another, exposing the trajectory of Shengcun's movements.

To be on the safe side, it is better not to leave traces.

Shengcun lowered his tail like a brush, carefully erasing the footprints he left.

When he passed the bear den, he stopped for a short while, and was surprised to find that there was no sound inside, and at the entrance of the cave, huge paw prints meandered into the distance.

It seems that the brown bear is still trying to seize the gap between the snowstorm and accumulate some fat at the end.

Shengcun decided to avoid it and went to another direction to look for food.

At this time, the traces of prey are especially easy to find. The snow is like a canvas, covered with the footprints of visitors.

The slender "one" pattern is left by a bird; the long kick mark should come from a hare; this deep pit is made by the hoof of a deer...

The owl's wings cast a shadow, and in a certain corner, the jerboa, which was struggling to eat from the snow, raised its head vigilantly, blinked its big bright black eyes, and quickly got under the snow.

Where is the prey...

The snow can hide the smell, and the white fur just put on is equivalent to wearing an invisibility cloak. Although there are fresh footprints all over the snow, Shengcun has never seen the hare.

He sniffed hard, hoping to catch something to fill his stomach tonight.

Before he knew it, Shengcun walked further and further away, and a small forest appeared in front of him.

It is said to be a small forest, but in fact there are only a few sparse trees, which are now bare, and the branches are covered with snow.

The sound of water came faintly, and there seemed to be an unfrozen river nearby.

Where there is water, there is often prey.

Sheng Cun lifted his spirits and ran towards the direction of the grove.

He saw black ravens fly up from the forest and let down a series of hoarse "quack" calls.

Then, as the distance drew closer, a dark object lay in the forest, and a smell of meat wafted over.

It was a pre-adult European roe deer, its body was still relatively soft, probably something happened to its mother, it was alone, and it couldn't survive the snowstorm.

It is less than one meter long, and the black fur on its body has been pecked off by ravens, but their thin legs are not capable of tearing the skin of the European roe deer.

It takes no effort to get it.

Shengcun buried his head and began to eat the delicious venison.

Sure enough, those ravens didn't fly far away. When the European roe deer was torn apart, they sneaked forward, stretching and retracting their mouths, trying to get a share of the action.

Shengcun raised his upper lip, bared his sharp canine teeth, and let out a threatening grunt from his throat, warning them to stay away from him.

However, the raven didn't take this approach, and after jumping away for a short time, it quickly approached lingeringly.A few daring guys even took a bite at Shengcun's tail.

The intention of this kind of harassment is quite obvious, it is to force him to leave the prey unbearably disturbed, so that the ravens can take the opportunity to have a full meal.

Sheng Cun didn't intend to pay attention to this wretched thief's behavior, he swallowed the food in big mouthfuls, and quickly swallowed it before he could chew it carefully.

Food is very rare in the ice and snow. This European roe deer will definitely attract many carnivores. He must put the food into his stomach as fast as possible. This is the safest place.

The sound of the lone wolf eating was heard far away in the quiet snow field, and a figure seemed to be aware of it, and was moving here at high speed.

Ok?

Sheng Cun stopped wolfing down and raised his head vigilantly.

The dead branches under the snow were crushed by the heavy body, making a thin sound.

Animals are approaching.

There is still half of the European roe deer left, it is a pity to just slip away.Sheng Cun decided to take two more bites to see if the comer was something he could beat.

"Squeak, squeak..."

The footsteps were getting closer, under the silver moonlight, Shengcun saw a body as solid as a hill.

"Roar..."

Sensing that there are competitors next to the European roe deer, a low-pitched roar came from afar.

It's a brown bear.If you say no, you are the neighbors who are hiding from the snowstorm next door.

It's really a narrow road for friends!

Sheng Cun raised his legs and looked at his forelegs, which were as thin as hemp sticks, and then raised his head to see the broad fore paws of the brown bear waving.

In other words, if you are slapped on the palm, you will directly lie down.

He is now just a lone wolf with little fighting power. The brown bear is attracted by the European roe deer. If he is stimulated by other things, Bao Buqi will use him for extra food.

Guiltyly tucking his tail between his hind legs, his fur exploded and then retracted, and he finally decided to run away before the brown bear got close.

Anyway, I was almost full just now, so there's no need to scramble for food.

As soon as he left with his front feet, the brown bear rushed over with his back feet. The roar of demonstration sounded behind him, and the raven flapped its wings and flew away.

Sheng Cun walked towards the river with his head depressed, still biting the seed packet in his mouth.

"Cross this river and you're at the Austrian border."

The system spoke suddenly, and Sheng Cun's footsteps paused.

The river is about 300 meters wide, and the current is not too fast, with broken ice and snowballs floating on it from time to time.If the temperature continues to maintain, it is estimated that it will be completely frozen in another month or so.

As far as he could see, the river meandered, without seeing its beginning or end.But most importantly, there is no bridge within sight!

"Is there a bridge over this river?"

Sheng Cun asked with his last hope.

"The nearest bridge is 10 kilometers away. It is recommended that you swim directly to it."

The system replied coldly.

"But there's a big question, you say this seed packet...is it waterproof?"

Shengcun put the seeds on the ground and poked them with his nose.The seeds wrapped in newspaper are only covered with a layer of oil paper, so they can deal with rain and snow for a short time, but if they are soaked in water for a long time, they will definitely have serious problems.

"..."

The system was silent, and after a long while, he choked out a sentence,

"This is part of the trial, you figure out how to do it yourself."

I knew it was unreliable.

Sheng Cun sighed, and the exhaled breath formed a white mist under the moonlight.

What to do, I need something that can float on the river...

If there were no brown bears in the woods, he might be able to go back and find a thicker piece of driftwood, but certainly not this way.

If it's ice floe...

Shengcun focused his eyes on the river, and soon, a piece of crushed ice of suitable size floated along the water.

"thump."

He went into the water with the seed bag in his mouth, treaded the water with a standard dog paddle, and quickly got his head out of the water.

The ice cube just drifted by, he stopped it with his body, tilted his head, and threw the seeds on it.

The 300-meter winter swim is not difficult for the gray wolf. Shengcun's head floats up and down in the river, and from time to time he pushes the ice floe horizontally to make it approach the opposite bank.

When he climbed onto the bank wetly, he had deviated from the starting point on the opposite bank by a long distance.

The hair soaked by the river lost its insulation effect, and the cold wind pierced his bones, making Sheng Cun shiver.

He has to move quickly, use the heat generated by his body to drive away the cold, and find a warm place to dry his fur.

When he moved his legs tremblingly, the silent system suddenly spoke.

"Today is New Year's Day, I wish you a happy new year!"

"So I greeted the New Year with a winter swim!"

Shengcun, feeling cold all over, expressed that he was not happy at all.
