MTL - Those Years of Dressing As An Animal-Chapter 169
The Tibetan fox parents saw that the eldest son had finally successfully found a prey at this moment. They were somewhat satisfied with his learning ability, and watched the eldest son's next movements more and more closely.
As for the other two sons, they had already lost the patience to continue searching for their prey, and the two brothers started fighting with each other for some reason, which really made Tibetan Fox's parents a little blind.
As for the young daughter in the other direction, although she has patience, she is unlucky or lacks skills in finding prey, so she has not found any prey yet.
Chen Xing, who is being watched by Tibetan Fox's parents with all his heart and mind, is now staring at the pika in front of him, and he can't tell the difference between other things.
Even though Chen Xing was closely watching, the pika in front still didn't notice the sharp gaze from its natural enemies. At this moment, it still stayed where it was and continued to graze, with its mouth moving, it was full of flesh and eating. It definitely tastes good.
In addition to the Tibetan fox mother, the other five Tibetan foxes, including Chen Xing, had not had time to eat after waking up, and they were still hungry.
Chen Xing is now not only practicing the hunting skills taught by the Tibetan fox father just now, but also to fill his stomach earlier.
If they really wait for the four little ones to finish their studies, and then wait for the Tibetan fox father or Tibetan fox mother to hunt for them, then when will we have to wait!
If today's first practice hunting can successfully capture a prey, and then self-sufficiently fill the stomach, it will be amazing!
With this double desire, Chen Xing certainly did not want to miss the pika in front of him.
Learning from the series of movements of the Tibetan fox father just now, Chen Xing tried his best to lower his body and kept his eyes fixed on the prey in front of him. When the prey looked in other directions, or when he was concentrating on cooking, Chen Xing seized the time to move his limbs. Before, because the movements had to be made very light to prevent being detected by the prey, Chen Xing's seemingly simple few steps actually didn't go very fast.
After another half a minute, Chen Xing was only two or three meters away, but he was still about five or six meters away from his prey.
After Chen Xing visually inspected this distance, his patience was not disturbed, and his next actions were still steady and steady, and it was the best policy to take it slowly.
Under Chen Xing's slow but steady approach, the pika that he was eyeing had not noticed the approach of the natural enemy for nearly a minute.
Fortunately, this pika is still cooking in the same place, as if its stomach is not full, and its position has not moved much. Otherwise, I am afraid that Chen Xing will really struggle to catch up with it while seeking stability and not be discovered. .
Not far away, the Tibetan Fox parents carefully watched the eldest son's strategy of making progress while maintaining stability, and were not dissatisfied.
After all, this is the first time the little cub is trying to hunt, and the speed and skills are naturally not comparable to those of the two experienced parents, but the eldest son can have the patience now, which has far surpassed many cubs!
For the energetic and active cubs, it is already very remarkable to be able to maintain this patience when hunting.
Therefore, although Chen Xing spent a minute at this moment, he was still a little far from the goal, and Tibetan Fox's parents didn't think there was anything to criticize.
Now that the patience is already there, other skills can be practiced slowly in the future, there is really no need to be so anxious!
Chen Xing, who was watched satisfactorily by the Tibetan fox couple, now took a little time to narrow the distance between him and the pika again. Now, by visual inspection, the distance between the two sides has been shortened by about two meters again.
In other words, now there is only a distance of three or four meters between Chen Xing and the pika in front of him!
If this is placed on the Tibetan fox father or mother, this distance is enough for them to jump directly to the target position in one step and accurately bite the prey.
However, Chen Xing's jumping ability, who is still young, is not as good as that of the two parents for the time being, and his explosive power is not enough, so he can only shorten the distance a little bit.
It's already at this last critical juncture, Chen Xing doesn't intend to fall short in regret, and still patiently continues to repeat the approaching action just now, and keeps the state as silent as possible.
Finally, in the patient expectation of the Tibetan fox parents and the audience of the show group, Chen Xing, the little Tibetan fox, finally took a few steps forward. Seeing the remaining distance, it was enough for him to pursue the target!
Chen Xing still stared firmly at the target in front of him. When he broke it, he no longer hesitated. He lowered his head a little bit, and began to continue his strength, and his body lowered a little...
In the next second, a little Tibetan fox jumped in place and jumped two meters away.
Chen Xing's jump inevitably made some noise, so the pika he was staring at finally came back to his senses and found that it was not good.
The pika suddenly began to move, and the speed was not slow. Chen Xing, who had already spotted the original position of the pika, immediately fluttered in the air, and only flung himself into the dust on the ground.
Chen Xing didn't get discouraged easily because of the flutter this time. Still staring at the pika, he immediately followed the direction of the pika and ran quickly to chase after it.
The pika, who was chased by the natural enemy, didn't plan to give Chen Xing a chance behind him, but after running for a while, he suddenly got into a nearby cave, and his figure disappeared all at once.
The next second, Chen Xing chased after the cave, staring at the cave, a little unwilling to give up.
The pika's burrow is really too small for the Tibetan fox. At this moment, Chen Xing can only put his snout or claws in, but his body is completely helpless.
And the snout or claws are so long, even if they reach into the cave, they can't reach the depths of the cave at all, and they can't reach the pika hiding at the innermost point.
Besides, Chen Xing is completely unclear about the situation in this cave. Who knows if it will be connected with other caves, and the bottom will extend in all directions. Even if Chen Xing can dig this cave now, maybe this pika will also You have already run to other places through the passage below, and slipped far away?
Digging a hole will most likely just waste your time.
This time, even if Chen Xing was really unwilling, he had to admit the fact that he failed his first hunt.
Chen Xing glanced at the hole on the ground again, and angrily pulled the soil with his claws twice, and even filled the small hole with soil directly, then got up and left, forgetting what he was looking at just now. pika.
Chen Xing did not continue to practice hunting, but returned to his two parents.
[Ah~ the result is still a failure! ]
[After all, this is the first hunting of the little Tibetan fox. It is normal to fail. If it succeeds, it is basically because of luck, not because of mature skills. ]
[Looking at the aggrieved expression on the small Tibetan fox, in the end, he even buried the pika's hole in revenge. ]
Seeing that the first hunting of the little Tibetan fox ended in failure, most of the audience were not disappointed, but they must admit that such a result is the norm.
Anyway, as the eldest brother, this little Tibetan fox was able to find a target one step ahead of his younger siblings just now, and even failed after chasing the target for a period of time, instead of being noticed by the prey the moment he found it, this is already better than Brother and sister are more than half successful!
Sure enough, he was indeed the child of the Tibetan fox father, and his brain was extraordinarily smart. At that time, he even took the initiative to ask humans for help for the Tibetan fox mother's injury. The first hunting performance was already so good!
I believe that as long as this little Tibetan fox has been practicing for a long time, he will always grow up quickly, and maybe he will surpass the two Tibetan fox parents formidably in the future!
When Chen Xing returned to Tibetan Fox's parents, his parents were not dissatisfied with the failure of Chen Xing's actions just now, but took the initiative to lick his head to express encouragement and praise to Chen Xing.
The two parents learned to hunt for the first time when they were children, but neither was as good as the eldest son, full of patience and calm temperament!
What if the final result fails?
For Chen Xing, the eldest son, Tibetan Fox's parents are very warm, but when it comes to the other two sons, they are not at all angry.
How can you learn to hunt and run to fight each other? Sure enough, they are naughty and mischievous, and even such a big thing as hunting can be crooked by them!
As for the little daughter who has never found her prey and only returned in anger, although she is not as powerful as her eldest brother, she is at least patient enough to know what to do, much better than her other two brothers!
It took half an hour for the cubs to start hunting for the first time just now. Seeing that everyone is getting hungry now, the sky is getting brighter and brighter, and the sun that has risen in the sky is following. As time goes by, it will only get hotter.
The Tibetan fox parents did not continue to force the cubs to practice again, and planned to push the next practice plan to this evening.
But now, the Tibetan fox father hunts a few more pikas first, and let the whole family fill their stomachs first.
The Tibetan fox mother brought her four cubs back to the door. Chen Xing and her little daughter were still sticking to her side, looking at the hunting area ahead.
As for the other two mischievous male cubs, as soon as they returned to the door of the house, they hurriedly lay down on the platform and began to bask in the sun leisurely. They could hardly feel any pressure on them.
Tibetan fox mother really doesn't bother to pay attention to these two little cubs!
Even now, Chen Xing, who was beside Tibetan Fox's mother, was still staring at the hunting area in front of him, and a series of movements of Tibetan Fox's father.
The first hunting operation failed just now, so Chen Xing must learn the corresponding hunting skills from his Tibetan fox father or mother, so that he can make up for his own shortcomings and allow himself to quickly achieve his goal.
After Chen Xing's skills are mature, he may be able to work hard to get his own portion of food, and by the way, it can also relieve the pressure on the two parents.
Now that they are no longer in the zoo, there is no continuous supply of food by humans. In order to feed these four little Tibetan foxes, the pressure on the Tibetan fox parents is not small, not to mention that the four of them are now eating more and more. Growing up, the body needs a lot of energy.
As the saying goes, the half-sized boy eats the poor old man, and the same is true for Tibetan foxes.
It's just the second day after the release and the parents' pressure may not be obvious, but after a while, the Tibetan fox parents will feel more and more pressure in order to hunt and feed the four of them.
Not only Chen Xing himself, he also hopes that the other three younger brothers and sisters can quickly learn and become proficient. At that time, the probability of successful hunting will increase with the degree of practice, and they will achieve self-sufficiency in terms of food as soon as possible. independent conditions.
The whole family works hard together, and the family will have a better life this winter.
