little cutie

The moment the flash appeared, Ye Qiong noticed it immediately, and then...

The relaxed posture immediately tensed up!

Ye Qiong didn't move at this moment, but shifted his gaze to the position of the light source, then frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he turned his body around and lay down on the snow.

The light source is about a hundred meters away from Ye Qiong, which is not too far away.

But a hundred meters away is considered a relatively safe distance.

Except for the whistling cold wind, there was no sound around, Ye Qiong blew a whistle softly, his sleepy eyes immediately became energetic after hearing the whistle.

The dragging ears stood up suddenly like a conditioned reflex, and then crawled out of the snow cave lightly, after looking around.

He continued to tiptoe to Ye Qiong's side.

Ye Qiong stretched out his left hand and patted Daida's head, and stuffed the remaining half of the king lion's elk meat into Daida's mouth.

After making a gesture for Daidai to stay in place, Ye Qiong pulled out the dagger, then got up and walked towards the light source with his waist down.

On the left side of the light source is a small high slope with a height of about ten meters. Ye Qiong came to the back of this small slope, poked his head out, and looked towards the light source.

The brightness of the light source is probably like the feeling of lighting a lighter. Although it is not too bright, it can spread very far in the dark night.

Ye Qiong stared closely at the light source. What is certain now is that it is not the light of flames. On Snow Planet, electricity has not been invented. The only thing that can let humans experience how powerful electricity is Chances are thunderstorms.

When the dark clouds gather above their heads, people will feel fear from the bottom of their hearts. Coupled with Xue Xing's berserk thunder and lightning, the humans in Xue Xing are so frightened that they run away with their heads in their hands, hugging each other like a cicada.

If it weren't for the light from the fire source, Ye Qiong really couldn't think of anything on this planet that could emit light. On the earth, animals and plants in the deep sea can emit light through chemical synthesis, and there are animals like fireflies on land that can emit light. shine.

But that was also summer time.

On Snow Planet, although Ye Qiong had heard of some magical beasts that could emit light, he had never seen one.

Ye Qiong put away his curiosity temporarily, and lay down on the high slope very patiently, looking at what the light source was.

After a while, there was movement from the light source, and a fluffy head leaked out.

When Ye Qiong saw that head, he couldn't help turning his head back, tensed his neck, and said in disbelief, "Cat?"

To be precise, it was a cat-like beast.

On Snow Planet, humans have divided the currently known beasts on the land into three categories.

The first category is monsters. The King Lion Moose is a monster, and the herd it leads belongs to a group of monsters. Monsters and humans are two completely opposite forces. Both sides use each other as food, so there is no peaceful coexistence at all. possibility!

Scavengers are also monsters, but they generally don't join the beast tide, but they also live in groups, and they will appear in groups or a dozen or twenty together. Once they encounter humans head-on, they will never die.

Fortunately, the vast majority of scavengers are not very powerful, but it is very difficult to hunt them down. The reason is that most of these monsters are very smart and have a strong sense of danger. Once they find something is wrong, turn around and kill them. Sa Yazi ran away.

The second category is the alien beasts. Counting from the king level up, that is, the lord level, they all belong to the alien beasts. They are powerful. There are many huge alien beasts, and they can move mountains and seas!

Alien beasts disdain to join the beast tide. Eating meat cannot sustain their astonishing daily energy consumption. Their food is a kind of crystal source body. This kind of radioactive crystal source body stores a huge amount of energy inside. .

It is also because of the existence of the crystal source body that there are alien beasts on this planet, so it is the crystal source body that creates the alien beast.

The third category is spirit beasts. On Snow Planet, there is a very special kind of beast. They don't need to eat grass or meat, and they don't need food to replenish their energy.

Based on the current understanding of humans on Snow Planet, they don't understand how spirit beasts survive, a creature that is far beyond human cognition at this stage.

But in Ye Qiong's view, it should be their bodies that can absorb some kind of rays, just like the Hulk in Marvel, who can absorb gamma rays.

Therefore, the spirit beast has become a very special existence on Snow Planet. It does not need to prey on other monsters to survive, but there are other monsters to prey on it.

So the life of a spirit beast is actually very miserable, and it needs to be spent on the run, and the lifespan of a spirit beast is often very long...

Either running away, or preparing to run away.

Although eating the meat of spirit beasts will not produce any special effects, spirit beasts still cannot escape the fate of being hunted down because their bodies are made of meat.

In the eyes of Warcraft, they are not spirit beasts, they are still just a pile of meat, and they can fill their stomachs after eating. Although small things look good, it is still important not to fill their stomachs.

Most spirit beasts have very small bodies, and are naturally timid, lively and active. Despite their flesh, even king-level monsters can't bite through their skin.

However, because of their relatively small size, a slightly larger monster can swallow them alive in one gulp, which is still very painful.

One of the reasons why this little thing is so timid is that the ancestors have had the experience of being swallowed alive and then pulled out, which has formed a psychological shadow and is deeply imprinted in the genes.

Although this thing often has nothing to do with suicide, it is extremely difficult to die.

In other words, it is very difficult for a spirit beast to kill itself.

Ye Qiong's eyes widened, and he looked at the cat's head poking out from under the snowdrift. Its ears were small, its cheeks were bulging, and there were a few long beards on its mouth. What surprised Ye Qiong was that its eyes could actually glow.

The retinas of many beasts can reflect light. Under the premise of a light source, the two eyes are like light bulbs.

But like the creature in front of him, whose eyes can emit weak fluorescence, this is the first time Ye Qiong has seen it, and he has never heard of it before.

First of all, what Ye Qiong can confirm is that this is a petite feline animal, and another point is that this is the cutest creature Ye Qiong has seen so far, counting from the time Ye Qiong can remember. , including the previous life.

Seeing the snow-white, fluffy head come out, followed by the body also got out from under the snow.

This little guy is only the size of a palm, and it seems that he is not yet an adult.

Ye Qiong has a deep understanding of how cruel it is on Snow Star, but now this guy in front of him, who seems to have no ability to protect himself, Ye Qiong really can't figure out how this little thing can survive on this planet.

Especially in winter.

After all, in a world like Xue Xing where the weak eat the strong and the strong are ferocious, looking good is useless for Warcraft. Almost all good-looking animals became extinct after the Ice Age came...

Most of the beasts that are good-looking because they can't be eaten as food are colorful. After Xue Xing entered the winter, they were too conspicuous, and they entered the stomachs of other monsters in minutes!

Now such a good-looking little thing that looks harmless to humans and animals appeared in front of Ye Qiong. Ye Qiong didn't know whether it was his luck or the little thing's bad luck. He already had a plan in his heart. Take this little thing back.

But I don't know if this little guy is alone, or an unweaned cub that has to be carried by the mother.

So Ye Qiong was not in a hurry to grab it, but lay down on the high slope and waited.

The little thing rolled back and forth on the snow, and finally attracted the attention of several scavengers. Just behind Ye Qiong, several scavengers surrounded it in a fan shape.

Ye Qiong discovered those scavenging beasts immediately, but he didn't take it seriously. It seems that winter is over, and the life of scavenging beasts is getting more and more difficult. While looking for carrion corpses, they are also carrying out hunting.

Such a big little thing can be seen.

Ye Qiong, who was lying on the ground, watched several scavengers creeping up to the cat beast without moving, and then jumped up,

The cat beast, which was playing by itself on the snow, was taken aback, but it reacted very quickly and moved very flexibly. With a slight leap to the side, it avoided the attack of the scavengers.

After landing, the cat beast jumped out immediately, ready to escape.

Seeing that the little thing was not caught, the scavenger beasts had no intention of chasing them. After all, such a large amount of meat was indeed not enough for a few of them. Moreover, in the winter of Xuexing, scavenger beasts were not good at chasing them. Not bad, in order to preserve physical strength in winter, I will not do too much exercise, otherwise I may not be able to steal chickens and lose money, and my physical strength will be exhausted before the prey is caught.

They don't chase, but someone is chasing!

"Hey!"

Ye Qiong blew a whistle, then he jumped up, and chased after the cat beast. After hearing the whistle in the distance, he immediately stood up, first looked at Ye Qiong's position, and then Immediately followed over.

The few scavengers trembled in fright when they saw Daidai rushing towards them, and then turned around and ran away, disappearing into the night in a flash.

The cat beast ran very fast in front, and Ye Qiong could only follow closely behind it.

Although this little guy doesn't look big, he runs very fast. Ye Qiong tried his best at the moment, but he could barely keep up.

But Ye Qiong is not in a hurry, the snow planet is so big, there is no cover to hide in winter.

After Daidai caught up, Ye Qiong jumped up and rode directly on Daidai's back.

Since its birth, the cat beast has been running for its life. As a spirit beast, it doesn't need to eat, but its small body has become the food in the eyes of all monsters and scavengers, although they can't bite Myself, but a larger monster can swallow it in one gulp...

At this time, the unlucky monster will experience the feeling of being bitten from the inside. If the stronger monster can't get out for a while, it can only be pulled out.

The sense of humiliation and experience cannot be expressed without personal experience.

In the past, as long as it ran away, there were very few monsters chasing it. After all, it was too small to fit between the teeth, so the temptation was not too great.

Today is also the first time it meets a strange guy who will always chase after it.

Ye Qiong rode on Daidai's back, and chased the two mountains of Maoshou abruptly.

There is no need to worry about Daidai's physical strength. After all, three years ago, Ye Qiong chased Daidai over five hills, and the last Daidai was dragged back by Ye Qiong, and then lay obediently in the snow cave. for three months.

After turning over a mountain with an altitude of about 1,000 meters, the cat beast finally slowed down. After reaching the top of the mountain, it actually stopped, and then squatted on the top of the mountain, sticking out its pink tongue, panting heavily.

It seems that he is exhausted and has reached his limit.

The cat and beast figured it out by themselves, they stopped running, they can do whatever they want, they look like they are at their mercy, and they are ready to be swallowed by that big bear in their hearts, the human in front of them must not be able to swallow it .

Anyway, they can't kill themselves...

Ye Qiong jumped off the bear's back and walked towards the cat beast. To Ye Qiong's surprise, the little guy ran so happily just now, but now he is not afraid of him.

Panting heavily, he looked at Ye Qiong fiercely.

Ye Qiong looked at Maoshou's expression and thought of a word.

Milk fierce!

tits fierce tits fierce...

What Maoshou didn't expect was that Ye Qiong had no intention of hurting it.

Now it was baring its teeth and calling out to Ye Qiong.

The sound was not the kind of meow that Ye Qiong imagined, but ahhhhhh, a bit like a wolf cub, quite fierce.

Ye Qiong walked up to the cat beast slowly, then squatted down, and Dadai behind him also sat down on the ground, ready to take a good rest, after all, he was still very tired from rushing to three hills in one go.

Dadai was panting heavily, and stuffed a few mouthfuls of snow into his mouth. The long time of running around generated a lot of heat in Daidai's body, and now the bear's head was already sweating.

"Aww..."

The cat beast continued to bark at Ye Qiong, Ye Qiong smiled playfully, then took out a piece of dried meat from the king lion elk from his pocket, and put it in front of the cat beast.

The taste of dried meat is very fragrant!

For all-time spirit beasts, there is no need to supplement their energy by eating, but they can indeed eat, and they have a complete digestive system in their bodies, which can be excreted normally.

Not long ago, it was catching a kind of ice worm in the snow to eat. The size of this ice worm is similar to maggots, and it is also white. It only appears around the carrion. When the carrion is buried by ice and snow, the ice worm The worms will be frozen inside, and their bodies can wriggle under the ice like earthworms.

Neither fierce beasts nor scavengers are interested in this kind of creature. Getting this little thing out of the ice will consume less energy than they can, so the gain outweighs the loss.

Humans will collect these ice worms, but they are not often encountered, and it is not cost-effective to find them deliberately. Ice worms on the snow planet are boring to eat and a pity to discard.

But for some smaller beasts, ice worms are a kind of food they like very much because of their special acidic taste.
