Chapter 74: The World of Cats
With the first rope in hand, Wang Yang couldn't hold back his excitement. Early the next morning, he took the osteologist to a big tree at the mouth of the canyon to test the toughness of the rope.
He spent a lot of time getting the osteologist up the tree and then threw the rope up.
After catching it, the osteologist spent a lot of effort before letting him jump down.
As soon as he jumped, the rope was wrapped around the branch and slid down.
Wang Yang grasped the rope tightly and felt a strong force lifting him up into the sky. The sky dropped rapidly, as if it was no longer far away.
Wang Yang was mentally prepared and planned to let go when he was about to reach the tree and grab the branches to avoid hitting the branches.
Just when he stretched out his hand and was about to grab the branch, the osteologist fell to the ground. He was uncomfortable with the strong pull on the rope, so he let go.
With a sound of "Boom~", Wang Yang came into close contact with the earth in a happy mood.
Rubbing his back and standing up, Wang Yang frowned and muttered: "The rope is quite strong..."
The rope is indeed strong. Although it is rough processing and there is no fine work, there are many ropes tied together. How can it be that it is not strong?
Wang Yang sped up the speed of making the rope. For this reason, he did not go into the forest, ignored Zhang San's training, and devoted himself to making the rope. Occasionally when he was tired, he went out to supervise the progress of the orchard.
In the blink of an eye, it’s been more than ten days, and summer has arrived.
Summer is the most comfortable season, with an average temperature of more than ten degrees Celsius. No matter how bright the sun is, it is always cool under the shade of the trees. Hiding in a dark cave, it can even be a bit cold.
Wang Yang basked in the sun in a sunny place in the canyon and rubbed the rope.
As of today, he already has five completed ropes.
The momentum is good, but the problem is that he has no fiber.
He decided to get some more plants back.
Following the large army, he arrived at the outermost junction. In front of him was the vast virgin forest.
If you walk a few steps to the right, you can reach the foot of the mountain and climb up the mountain.
Two paths, two situations, and two multiple-choice questions.
Wang Yang lamented that life is like an exam, where you always have to answer multiple-choice questions and then be graded by others.
Without thinking much, he walked to the foot of the mountain on the right.
The reason is obvious. Didn't a tiger die two years ago? At that time, the wolf was on the left, the wild boar was in front, and the tiger was on the right.
The wolf's territory is on the left, the wild boar emerges from the primeval forest, and the tiger can only belong to this mountain.
It is said that there are no tigers in the mountains and monkeys are called kings. No, Wang Yang is here.
Wang Yang stopped at the foot of the mountain with a series of equipment such as bone spurs, wooden spears and so on.
The vegetation was continuous, so he mined it here.
The vigilant day passed, very calmly, and no unexpected incident occurred.
In the next few days, Wang Yang was active here. It was not until all the plants at the foot of the mountain were gone that he looked up at the mountain.
Compared with the world in the mountains, there is not much difference between the world in the mountains and the virgin forests. They are both unfamiliar to Wang Yang, especially the ground, which is overgrown with weeds and has no roads.
But what is much better than the virgin forest is that there are no waist-high plants blocking the view under the feet, and it is relatively convenient to step out of the path.
Soon, he started harvesting, and lived in peace for several days.
He cut higher and higher, and in a blink of an eye, he reached the mountainside.
On this day, he walked a little higher and was cutting plants with his head down. Suddenly, a drop of liquid dripped onto his nose. It was ice-cold, sticky, and a little fishy.
He reached out and touched it, and there was blood.
The pores on his body immediately stood up, and he rolled to the side. While rolling, he held the wooden spear in one hand and the stone awl in the other, preparing both hands.
Then he raised his head and looked around, only to see nothing around him. He looked up and was surprised to see a little goat hanging on a branch four or five meters above the ground. There was a scary thing on its neck.
There were a few flies buzzing around the wound.
It had been dead for a while, its back and neck were chewed to pieces, and its limbs were hanging limply, and it was very bloody.
Seeing that it was just a dead goat and there was no danger, Wang Yang felt relieved, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and stared at the goat in great surprise.
The goat is not special. It looks like what it is supposed to look like. The strange thing is that it hangs on a tree four or five meters high.
You shouldn't be able to jump that high, so you can only be carried up.
Wang Yang was very honest. If he wanted to bring an animal weighing one to two hundred pounds into a tree, it would take a lot of time.
In addition to several species on the ground, large birds in the sky are also likely to be able to carry trees.
Wang Yang didn't think too much. After making sure there was no ambush in the tree, he decisively climbed up the tree and took the goat back.
He climbed up to the branch in a few steps, drove away the flies, picked up the goat on his back, and was about to jump off, but it didn't matter if he didn't lower his head. When he lowered his head, his whole body was shaken by fright.
I saw a big cat appear under the tree at some point.
The veins on the body are yellow and black, and a tail that is neither long nor short is swinging from side to side violently.
His khaki eyes stared at him coldly, glancing behind him from time to time.
Wang Yang's hair stood on end as he secretly said, "Leopard..."
This is a leopard, no, this is not a leopard, because leopards cannot grow so big.
How big is it?
The four major cats, tiger, lion, jaguar (or jaguar), leopard, leopard is the smallest one.
And how big is the one in front of you? It is between a tiger and a lion. Note that it is between a tiger and a lion in this era.
It is conceivable that this guy, which is more than two meters long and weighs perhaps 600 kilograms, is definitely not a leopard.
But this guy looks so much like a leopard, with dots of yellow and black markings on his body. If it weren't for the fact that there were no black circles or black spots in its markings, Wang Yang would have mistaken it for a jaguar.
It opened its mouth, which expanded to an incredible size, revealing two canine teeth.
The canine teeth are about as long as a saber-toothed tiger, but much shorter than a saber-toothed tiger. They won't hinder the trick of opening its mouth to bite the enemy to death.
Wang Yang slapped his head and couldn't remember what species it was. Could it be the classification of saber-toothed tiger? Dagger-toothed tiger?
The purpose of distinguishing species is mainly to record each other and understand each other's behavior. Of course, the most important thing is whether it can climb trees?
It gave proof of action. It jumped up into the air, lifted its long body and flew gracefully. What was so terrifying was that it didn't even intend to climb the tree, but instead flew towards Wang Yang as if it were a rocket.
"The bounce is incredible..." Wang Yang didn't have time to think about it, he picked up the wooden spear and stabbed it down.
The creature that looked like a leopard but was not a leopard was some distance away from the tree trunk and could not swat at the tree trunk to avoid it. Wang Yang thought it would definitely be injured, but its sharp claws suddenly opened and stabbed, and it actually grabbed the wooden spear.
At this moment, it lost its center of gravity and its whole body fell down. Wang Yang only felt a strong force coming from the wooden spear in his hand. The same center of gravity was unstable, and he fell down.
