Chapter 646 Little Red-Crowned Crane Comes to Drink Water

Along the way, I didn’t find any animals at all!

Although he did not deliberately expand his mental power to the maximum extent, for the sake of safety, Su Ming always maintained a mental power coverage within a radius of dozens of meters to prevent any blind guy from secretly attacking him.

If a venomous snake or a wolf were to suddenly attack him, Su Ming would not necessarily be afraid. He could use his mental power and transformed energy storage balls with just a thought.

But with Su Meng here, the guy who makes a sneak attack will most likely be in bad luck, and will most likely be killed directly. It was a bit exaggerated for Su Meng to kill a cow with one punch, but it was quite easy to cripple a wolf with one punch.

But after going several kilometers into the mountain, Su Ming didn't find a single animal!

It doesn’t mean that there are no animals at all, it means slightly larger animals. Along the way, except for little guys like ants, earthworms, and sparrows, not even a rabbit or a hedgehog was found.

Something is wrong!

Although Yangchuan City has developed rapidly in recent years and the population has surged, many animals that are close to urban areas on the branches of the Qinling Mountains have gradually begun to move deeper into the mountains. However, in the direction of this animal escaping into the mountains, there are many animals within ten kilometers nearby. In the countryside, except for a few villages, there is only an airport four kilometers away. There are few people and there should be relatively many animals.

What's more, the straight-line distance from the foot of the mountain is already several kilometers. Even if the edge is a city, a few kilometers is deep enough. Even the mountains next to the city will occasionally have traces of medium-sized animals such as wild boars and wolves. , let alone this deserted bird place?

Animals have their own territory. A territory means a relatively stable hunting area. How could a large mountain range be left unoccupied?

After walking for a while, Su Ming found a dilapidated animal nest following the marks left by the first search team in the mountain.

It was the enemy that the animal army encountered for the first time: the nest of the lynx family.

In addition to the traces left by a large number of humans, there are also many decayed animal limbs and bones around. It seems that some unknown story must have happened here.

Su Meng wandered around the nest for a while, smelled it with his nose, touched it with his hands, and then made a few simple gestures towards Su Ming.

"Huh?" Su Ming was slightly startled. This guy is still not very good at talking. How does he usually fall in love?

Could it be that when he was with Nurse Xiao Hu, he didn't need to communicate verbally and just started talking directly?

He was indeed behind the times. A guy with a savage background was more open-minded than him.

Su Meng didn't know that Su Ming was thinking about these messy things, so he huffed twice and pointed deeper into the jungle.

What he means is that the owner of this nest has not been back for a long time, and the nest has long been abandoned.

Su Ming thought to himself, could it be that the fleeing animals killed the owner of the nest? It is entirely possible. Judging from the size of the nest, although the owner is definitely not small, he may be some kind of beast. There are a huge number of animals on the run, including many beasts. There are also two pandas acting as dog-headed strategists, alone in the mountains. animals are unlikely opponents.

Su Ming guessed 70% or 80% correctly. The only thing he didn't expect was that the two pandas were not acting as dog-headed strategists, but as bosses.

"Let's go, keep going!" Su Ming waved his hand and led Su Meng in the direction where the animal left, and continued to move forward.

…

After it was almost dark, Su Ming and Su Meng's figures appeared on the edge of a fairly small lake.

The gurgling stream flows into the lake along the rocks from a distance. The huge lake is extremely quiet and reflects faint waves under the moonlight.

Something is still wrong, it's too dead here!

Su Ming separated a ray of mental power into the water and spread it out like a large fishing net. The mental power followed the water waves and quickly covered the entire lake, scanning it from top to bottom like a radar.

Damn it!

The area of ​​​​this lake is almost more than half of Shuijun Lake. The average depth is at least two and a half meters, showing the shape of the bottom of a pot. The deepest place is even five or six meters deep.

It is completely unreasonable that there are no large aquatic creatures in such a large lake, which is deep in the mountains and rarely visited by people.

There were only a few fish, mostly small fish of a little bigger size, and I saw almost no fish weighing more than a pound.

Deep in the mountains and old forests, humans may not have set foot here for more than ten years. The animals are in a safe and calm environment and grow naturally. In such a large lake, fish weighing five or six pounds can only be considered ordinary.

Due to environmental restrictions, it is impossible to grow a fish as large as several hundred kilograms, but it is still no problem to grow to several tens of kilograms.

It's good now. The aquatic life resources of this lake seem to have been plundered.

Around the lake, there are really many carcasses of big fish that have been chewed beyond recognition.

Such a large water source should be able to attract animals from dozens of miles around to drink water. Su Ming decided to wait secretly by the lake. He still didn't believe it. I captured the nearby natives alive and must ask them what happened. What!

wait!

Since we are setting up an ambush, we must not light a fire to avoid being discovered. Su Ming and Su Meng, wearing gelcoats, found two large pits by the river. They lay down in the pits with only half of their heads exposed, and furtively stared at the situation at the lake.

Damn it, where did all these big holes come from by the lake? Su Ming was just as confused as the first search team. Could there have been a big explosion here?

Time passed by, and Su Ming was about to fall asleep, and he didn't see any animals coming to drink water.

Su Meng was bored on the side. He took out a mobile phone and poked on the keyboard with a thick finger. I don't know if he was sending WeChat or text messages.

"Is there a signal here?" Su Ming was stunned. His mobile phone could not receive a signal in the afternoon. The search team encountered the same problem at the beginning. Otherwise, they could call for air support to deliver food and medical supplies to make the search more in-depth.

He leaned over with a little curiosity and saw three identical smiling faces on Su Meng's mobile phone screen, which disappeared in a flash.

"You have changed!" Su Ming looked at Su Meng who was concentrating on playing games with a look of grief. It has only been a short time since a simple savage brother, who ate raw meat and drank blood, was pure and pollution-free. Less than half a year after coming down the mountain, he became addicted to mobile games.

Games kill people! Su Ming thought, otherwise let Shen Yan open another team to specialize in mobile games?

Don't mention it, this thing is actually quite profitable. As long as a game can meet market requirements and catch the players' excitement, according to the current speed of network transmission, it can become popular in half the world within a few days, and it can be sold to a buyer and easily earn hundreds of millions.

Developing mobile game apps is the fastest way for pure technical men to rise up besides time travel.

But in China, it is a bit difficult, and piracy is still rampant.

Otherwise, Su Ming is already half a businessman. When he thinks of things related to making money, his brain turns quickly, and he thinks of a long list of related things in an instant. In the future, it is best to register a company overseas, do a lot of business directly overseas, and even after the group is integrated, simply go public overseas... But in this way, you need a capable person to take charge of this overseas business. At present, it seems that I really don't have such talents on hand. It is unlikely to expect Uncle Zhao Yun to go overseas to help me run around, unless his wife speaks...

Talent, talent! What is the most valuable thing in the 21st century is talent! The bigger the company gets, the more Su Ming can deeply understand the meaning of this sentence. Talents are really becoming less and less!

Just when Su Ming's thoughts flew to Nasdaq on the other side of the ocean, Su Meng suddenly put down his mobile phone, raised his head and stared at the lake in the distance.

"Finally here!"

Su Meng's sense of smell and hearing are much stronger than ordinary people. When Su Ming saw his movement, he knew that he had finally waited.

Following his gaze, in the moonlight, there was a rustling sound in the grass more than half a person's height by the lake, and a "big bird" came out.

The big bird was smaller than a swan and larger than a wild duck. It had gray feathers all over its body, two slender legs, a slightly curved but sharp beak, and a dazzling red on its head.

"Red-crowned crane?" Su Ming squinted his eyes and took a closer look. It should not be a red-crowned crane. Red-crowned cranes are much taller than this guy, with long legs. You can tell it is a 'crane' at a glance, while this guy in the distance looks more like a big duck.

Or it could be a small red-crowned crane that has not grown up yet.

Su Ming raised his eyebrows. "Little friend, where are your parents? Uncle will take you to play..."

After the little red-crowned crane appeared from the water plants, it did not immediately go to the river to catch fish and drink water. Instead, it stayed in place and looked around furtively for more than half a minute. After confirming that there was no danger, it took courage, took small steps, and twisted and turned to approach the water surface...

This guy was probably here to hunt. He lowered his head and stared at the water surface. He looked for a long time but did not find a single fish.

After being looted by the bad guys, the number of fish in the lake dropped sharply. The whole lake seemed to have been through a massacre. The surviving fish became frightened birds, extremely alert, and all hid underwater.

The little guy stood alone in the shallow water for seven or eight minutes, his stomach growling with hunger, and he didn't even find a small hair fish.

So hungry...

Just when he was depressed, suddenly the instinct of the creature issued a warning, and a feeling of extreme danger came over him, and the feathers all over his body were frightened and exploded!

It subconsciously raised its head and found that two "two-legged beasts" surrounded it silently at some point. The one in front of it had a sly smile on his face.

Don't eat me, I'm just passing by... The little guy was scared...

Su Ming's mental power enveloped it, and he said with a smile: "Oh, it turned out to be a little crested ibis. Don't be afraid, little friend, uncle will give you a lollipop..."
