Survival male god

Chapter 201 Chen Jing's Guess

At night, Chen Jing released the clouded leopard cub from the cloth pocket in his arms, and after placing it properly, he began to build a shelter.

The ground is wet and it is better to sleep in a tree.

He was carrying the trekking pole he picked up earlier, and after the hollow steel pipe was disassembled and flattened, it was made into two machetes.

Jin Chen brought one, and the other was in his hand, which was both a weapon and a tool.

After cutting trees and vines, building a shelf, and finishing the shelter, Chen Jing had a lot of wild vegetables and tubers in his hands.

"Ailao Mountain is rich in products. This kind of beet and wild Poria cocos can be seen everywhere, and you can eat them raw."

"The little clouded leopard doesn't eat and keeps barking because of hunger. I guess it won't have the strength to bark tomorrow."

"The paw prints and bloodstains just found on the ground are indeed left by adult clouded leopards. Now there are two possibilities."

"The first type is that the clouded leopard encountered a natural enemy, was injured and disappeared."

"The second type is the prey that is injured. The clouded leopard chased the prey, wasting a lot of time."

"But I still prefer the first one, because lactating adult female leopards, no matter whether the hunt is successful or not, they will never leave their cubs for more than 24 hours."

Chen Jing peeled off the skin of the Poria cocos tuber, and began to bite it.

The current altitude is more than 800 meters, and it is midsummer. Although there is no snow on the top of Ailao Mountain, the temperature at night is still extremely low.

Lighting a bonfire with the kindling that had been saved before, Chen Jing climbed directly onto the wooden shelf, ready to sleep.

He placed three clouded leopard cubs in a nest made of hay, sleeping soundly.

"I climbed a lot of mountains and walked a lot today. I am exhausted physically and mentally. I am sorry that I don't have the energy to communicate more with you. This is a difficult challenge."

"Fortunately, there is no shortage of food here. During the journey, I often replenish myself with energy."

"But I still dare not relax. The clouded leopard cubs have not eaten for two days. No one knows how long they can last."

"In this case, what I can do is to find the whereabouts of the clouded leopard mother as soon as possible."

"If three days pass and you still haven't found it, then these little guys..."

Chen Jing shook his head, but did not speak.

But the audience can understand what he means.

"Just do your best and don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Yes, don't stress."

"I feel that you are really powerful."

"It's hard to imagine that a person can advance at such a high speed in such a place, just like Nima's driving."

"This guy is really amazing!"

"It's a pity that Jingshen doesn't bring any equipment now, so he can't see our barrage."

"Come on, mountaineering big brother."

Chen Jing fixed the camera strap on the tree trunk, turned on the night view mode, and lay down.

……

In the early morning of the next day, it was not yet bright. After Chen Jing woke up, he did a set of Baduanjin. He felt refreshed, and the fatigue from yesterday was swept away.

He climbed down the wooden frame and turned over the hay, and the three clouded leopard cubs were all in good condition.

But after a while, Chen Jing's expression changed.

A little bit of moisture dripped from the gaps between the leaves and bloomed at the tip of his nose.

It's raining.

"Oh shit!"

Chen Jing couldn't help cursing inwardly, then took off his coat, took out an old t-shirt from his pocket, packed the hay and the little cloud leopard together, tied it to his chest, then put on the jacket again, zipped it up and put it on hat.

The jacket is two-layered and has waterproof paint. Although there is no need to worry about getting wet inside, the rain will definitely make the mountain road more difficult.

The point is that the rain washes away the many, many trails left by wild animals in the mountains.

In this way, the chances of finding an adult clouded leopard are even slimmer.

"I can't stay any longer. I originally planned to go to the mountains in the morning to find food, but now it seems that I can't."

"I have to hurry up and track down the whereabouts of the clouded leopard as much as possible before the rain completely destroys all traces on the ground."

"If the efficiency is high enough, maybe I can find traces of its recent activities."

"gone!"

After removing the bonfire, Chen Jing picked up the machete and stick, and continued on his way.

Not long after, he found a lot of traces of fighting in a piece of grass, many plants were crushed and collapsed, and there were blood and claw marks everywhere.

Chen Jing squatted on the ground, stretched out his hand to pick up the black and brown hair in the blood, and twisted the plasma again.

"These hairs belong to clouded leopards. The blood has just turned into viscous plasma, and you can still smell blood. Besides, look at these overwhelmed green grass."

"The creases at the bottom of the grass stem are still very fresh. I can basically conclude that this is the trace left by the clouded leopard, and it was left yesterday."

Seeing the shallow dents on the ground, Chen Jing simulated the scene of the clouded leopard fighting in his mind.

"This clouded leopard is about 1.2 meters in size and weighs 35-40 kilograms. It had a fierce confrontation with its opponent in this grassland."

"As a feline, its ground combat skills can almost be said to be at the master level."

"In a confrontation of the same size, against any type of opponent, you will have a crushing advantage in terms of skills."

"They will roughly use their claws and fangs to lock the throat of their prey. Look at this mark."

Chen Jing stretched out his finger and pointed at the shallow pit in front of him, with a puzzled look on his face.

"This oval-shaped mark was squeezed out when the clouded leopard landed on its back. The key point is that there are two elongated grooves pushed out at the top."

"Do you know what this is?"

Chen Jing retracted his arms and spread his five fingers in front of his chest.

"When cats hunched their bodies, like us humans, or most mammals, the fan blade bones on both sides will bulge backward."

"It's the impression that bones make in soft grass."

"It was thrown to the ground by the opponent vigorously, with its back facing down."

"But the strange thing is..."

Chen Jing moved his fingers to the lower side, where there were two deep scratches.

"This is also the claw mark of a leopard. Under the same battle mark, a clouded leopard was crushed to the ground. It is impossible for it to leave two other positive claw marks, right?"

"And around here, apart from the clouded leopard's hair and paw prints, we have no traces left by other animals."

"That is to say..."

"It is very likely that two clouded leopards are fighting!"

"Are they a couple, or are they just of the same kind?"

"What kind of hatred caused Yunbao's mother to fight to the end regardless of her own child?"

Many questions appeared in Chen Jing's mind, and the next moment, he thought of some bad memories.

When I was adventuring in a foreign country that year, due to the depletion of water resources in summer and the large migration of animals, the food in the cheetah's habitat plummeted.

In the end, the hungry leopards started to kill each other. They would eat all creatures they could beat, including pythons and crocodiles...

Leopards will not eat their own cubs, but will prey on other cubs.

Could it be that……

There were more than three clouded leopard cubs?

Perhaps it was because of the loss of her own child that Yunbao's mother went crazy and launched revenge on the other party desperately.

Chen Jing told the audience in front of the screen his guess.

Everyone was very surprised, and even felt that Chen Jing's speculation was too far-fetched.

After all, the probability of such a thing happening is too low, what's more, Ailao Mountain is not poor in resources, there are many wild animals here, and it is impossible for clouded leopards to lack food.

Until Chen Jing said the next words.

"In addition, not only is the lack of food causing leopards to kill their cubs, there is another possibility."

"For mating!"

"The male leopard will kill the cub of the female leopard, so that the female leopard with the dead cub will go into heat again."

"Actually, apart from leopards, many wild animals in nature have this habit."

"Of course, this is just my personal guess, not necessarily true and accurate."

"This is the trace of the battle left yesterday. If I move faster, maybe soon, I will be able to find the clouded leopard."

After finishing speaking, Chen Jing stood up. From an angle that the audience couldn't see, a faint light flashed in his eyes.

Hunting Rhythm Specialization, has been triggered!
In the drizzle, wisps of gray mist stretched into the distance on the low mountains, forests and grasslands.

"Follow the northwest direction of Ailao Mountain and continue to move forward!"

Wiping off the rain on his face, Chen Jing leaned forward slightly, and then sprinted again.

At 15 pm on the [-]th, the entire northern area of ​​Ailao Mountain was searched.

According to the collected information, Chen Jing locked his eyes on the dense forest at the foot of the mountain in the northeastern part of Ailao Mountain.

"If the two clouded leopards are still alive, they must be here. I hope the female leopard is not dead..."
