Chapter 1518: Chapter 1518-still staying
Zhang Zian was relieved to see the water.
The moisture in the forest was very heavy. If they couldn’t find a water source, they could use some survival methods in the wilderness to condense dew, but that would take up a lot of time, and it was barely enough to sustain life. If that really came to a point, it was better to find a way out of the forest as soon as possible, and not talk about finding the missing girl or other things.
After traveling together for an afternoon, the deer herd seemed to trust him a little. They were not afraid even when they saw him appear by the stream. They were only about 20 to 30 meters away from him. If he had a shotgun, it would be difficult to miss with one shot.
This was a small herd of seven or eight deers, including a majestic male deer walking in the front and a few lively young deers who did not know the dangers of the world.
The young deers were full of curiosity about the human. They actually ran to a place only a dozen meters away from him and stared at him with innocent eyes, as if they were curious about where this strange guy had so much delicious salt.
He recognized them. They were a group of North American Red deers. The most obvious feature that differentiated them from other deers was the dark brown circle around their necks and the pair of strong antlers on the heads of the male deers.
Not only him, but the elves also recognized it, because they had seen such a Deer Horn not long ago on the wall of the wooden house in the forest. However, under the deer Horn was a complete deer head that was made into a specimen.
Horseback deer’s horns could grow very large, and they had always been one of the hunters ‘favorite spoils of war. They would chop off the deer’s head and make specimens to display their hunting skills and manliness at home.
There were many kinds of deer, and their names were very confusing. There were different names in the United States and Europe. For example, the same word “Elk” referred to Red deer in North America, and referred to camel deer in Europe. What was even more confusing was that many China tourists or local translators in the United States translated Red Deer as elk. In fact, elk was a deer unique to China and was extremely rare in existence. It was impossible to see it in the wild of the United States.
North American Red deers were large in size, liked to live in groups, and liked to move around during the day. These characteristics matched.
But he didn’t know if there were any individuals infected with prion protein in this group of red deers.
While he was setting up the tent, this group of red deers, which were used to daytime activities, seemed to have no intention of leaving. They took turns sipping the stream water and nibbling on the grass and leaves.
Their expressions were alert and alert, but they were not directed at him. Instead, they looked up from time to time at the depths of the forest that was getting darker and darker.
“Kaka! I’ve found a toilet for you, you idiot. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied. Do you want to try squatting there?” Richard flapped his wings and flew over, trying to land on his shoulder, but because of his night blindness, he had to land a few times before he succeeded.
“Toilet?” He couldn’t be bothered with it. “Did you fart?”
“Kaka! This child could be taught! But it’s a pity that you’ve underestimated my power. If I really did collapse, I could make a hole in the ground!” Richard pushed him with his wings.”Go and try! Squat down and see if it’s suitable!”
Zhang Zian was annoyed by it. After setting up the tent, he picked up the pot and asked,””Where are you? I’m warning you, if it doesn’t look like a toilet, I’m going to eat chicken Mushroom stew tonight!”
Richard showed him the way indifferently, leading him around a few thick trees to a thin tree about twenty meters away from the stream. Although it was a thin tree, its diameter was about the same as an adult man ‘s.
“Look! Doesn’t this look like a toilet?” Richard could not see clearly anymore, so he pointed to the ground with his wing.
Zhang Zian didn’t believe it at all. He casually looked at the ground and was immediately stunned.
There was an oval-shaped pit under the root of the thin tree. It was about 20 to 30 centimeters deep and had smooth edges.
“Kaka! Why don’t you tell me, you idiot! Doesn’t it look like a toilet?” Richard clamored smugly. When it had flown here to relieve itself, it had found this pit. It couldn’t help but go back and show off its discovery to Zhang Zian. It couldn’t explain why, but it vaguely felt that this pit was different from a naturally formed pit.
A chill crept up Zhang Zian’s back. He did not have time to talk nonsense with Richard. He turned on the head light and carefully examined the trunk of the thin tree. As expected, the trunk was about one meter above the ground, and a lot of bark had been peeled off.
When he got closer, he used his fingers to pull out a black hair the size of a little finger from the gap in the bark.
F * ck!
He cursed in his heart and stopped taking water from the stream. He took the empty pot and hurried back to the tent that had just been set up.
“Famous! Come with me!”
Famous was lying down and resting. When it heard his voice, it immediately stood up and followed him back.
Not only famous, but the other elves also heard the worry and urgency in his voice, so they followed him to see what was going on.
Zhang Zian came to the pit again, pointed at it, and said,”Famous, you smell it …”
Famous didn’t even need to get close to it. It had already smelled the smell.”What is this smell? It has a very strong body odor, like the smell left behind by a large carnivore!”
It stared uneasily at the darkness that was getting thicker and thicker. The instinct left in its blood was warning it to leave immediately.
The other Elfins with a keen sense of smell also smelled it. The smell seemed to have some kind of oppression, which made them almost breathless.
“Zian, what animal left this pit?” Old time tea was on high alert, its brass eyes flashing.
What animal would dig a pit? Pangolin? Anteater?
Zhang Zian took a deep breath and barely suppressed the panic in his heart. He tried to keep calm and said,””It’s a black bear. ”
“Black bear?” The elves were all stunned, and even Richard was so scared that he swallowed his words of ridicule.”Are you sure?”
Zhang Zian nodded and pointed to the pit,””This kind of pit is the bear’s nest. The hunters and experienced walkers in the United States call it a bear bed.”
He then pointed at the trunk of the thin tree.”The black bear sleeps here and scratches. Its skin is rough and thick. If you rub it too hard, you will even scrape off the bark, and the black bear’s hair will be stuck in the bark.”
He turned back to look at the herd of deer by the stream.”I’m afraid the path they took just now was made by the black bear. That’s why they’re so uneasy. But they’ve eaten too much salt. No matter how uneasy they are, they still need to drink water …”
“Then what should we do now? In this old man’s opinion, I’m afraid it’s not wise to fight head-on. The best way is to leave. ” Old time tea advised.
Vladimir, however, was eager to try. It clenched its fist and said,””What black bear and white Bear? they’re all Imperials ‘black bears!”
Famous, can you smell how long the black bear has been gone?” He asked.
Famous sniffed around carefully and said with uncertainty,””Maybe one or two days.”
They really needed water, and besides, how far could they walk in the middle of the night?
Zhang Zian was caught in a dilemma. After thinking for a long time, he decided to take the risk and stay here tonight.
