After listening to Zhang Zian’s explanation, the Elfins felt novel and surprised. There were actually hunters who recorded the sound of coyotes to lure and kill them. The power of technology was really terrible.
It was said that coyotes are very cunning. After a recording is used in a certain place, the same recording will be played again, and the Coyotes won’t be fooled, so hunters have to change the recording often. In addition, the recording wasn’t 100% effective because people didn’t know what the recording was about. Maybe the coyote was saying that it would kill whoever came over.
He was talking to the Elfins at the back, trying to keep his voice as low as possible. The young gray wolf in front could definitely hear him. It also knew that Zhang Zian and the others were following it, but it didn’t show obvious disgust and impatience. Perhaps it felt that it had already become … A friend of wine and meat with him.
With the gray wolf walking in front, Zhang Zian and the others only had to follow it. They didn’t pay much attention to the path. Besides, there was no path in the forest, and the same area was full of similar plants. When they walked out of the depression covered with vines and entered the forest again, he suddenly felt that the surroundings looked familiar.”Aren’t we back to the starting point?”
But the situation didn’t seem right. Before he could figure out what was wrong, he heard the elves exclaim in unison,””Where are the cats?”
Only then did he realize that they had returned to the open space where they had set out to track the smell of the gray wolf. There should have been more than a dozen dead cats on the open space when they left, but now the open space was empty. There were only some blood stains and cat fur left on the fallen leaves, and the dead bodies were all gone.
Zhang Zian looked around nervously. He touched the Taser gun and bear spray and said in a low voice,””Could it be … That it was taken away by a scavenger?”
This was the most logical explanation. There were many large and small scavengers in the forest, including coyotes and black bears. They would not let go of food that could be easily obtained, even if it was a corpse that had been dead for a few days.
He knew that the black bear and the pack of suburban wolves might be following behind him, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. They could have come here to clean up the battlefield while he left to track the gray wolves.
The elves were on high alert. If a black bear or coyote had really been here, it was likely to be nearby.
The young gray wolf stared at the open space and was also a little confused. It ran into the open space and sniffed, then looked back at Zhang Zian, and turned its head in another direction.
Famous also sniffed around the open space, excluding vultures and other scavenger birds. If bears and coyotes had been here, they must have left a fresh smell.
However, after sniffing it, it was stunned. It couldn’t believe its own judgment and sniffed again.
“What’s wrong, famous?” He noticed its abnormal behavior.
“There’s no smell of coyotes and black bears,” famous said in amazement.”It’s more like …”
It was so shocked that it said after a while,””It seems like the cats left on their own …”
Leave on his own?
Zhang Zian and the other Elfins were also dumbfounded. The previous dozen cats were all dead, and their bodies were cold. He had examined almost every cat’s body personally and saw the teeth marks and holes on their bodies. It was impossible that any cat was actually pretending to be dead or was seriously injured. Not to mention one or two cats, he was blind and didn’t see it, but all the cats were like this?
What a joke! It’s like a group of Forest Cats bullying me for being old and powerless, pretending to be dead!
Not only did he not believe it, but the other elves did not believe it either. All the elves with a keen sense of smell sniffed around the open space. From their expressions, they had reached the same conclusion as famous.
The smell wouldn’t lie. When they left, there was no new smell near the open space, so they could rule out the situation of people or animals taking the cat body away. The freshest smell was the smell of the cats leaving together.
After eliminating all the possibilities, the only thing left that was hard to accept was the truth.
“Are those cats still alive?” Zhang Zian tried to find a reasonable explanation.”She’s unconscious due to heavy injuries, or there are plants around that can cause anesthetic effects … Although the probability of this is small, it’s not completely impossible, right?”
The elves remained silent.
Human’s thought process was heavily dependent on sight, but animals could analyze it by combining their sight and smell.
A living animal and an animal that had been dead for a long time had different chemicals in their bodies, and the smells they gave off were completely different. The elves could tell the difference.
The cats were indeed dead, but for some reason, they stood up again and left the open space in a dead state. The elves could even “see” the footprints they left with the smell.
He was simply like … A walking corpse.
Seeing the Elfins ‘constipated expressions, Zhang Zian had already gotten their answer.
“Meow my a * s! This matter is really F * cking strange!” Even Vladimir, who had always dared to fight against the heavens and earth, showed a rare look of confusion.
“Squeak!” Pi shrank its body and hugged its little stick tightly.
“Gah? Gah? I hate horror and supernatural movies the most! “No, I think I need to pee …” Richard flapped his wings and flew to a branch to solve his physiological problem.
Zhang Zian imagined a dozen dead cats suddenly standing up and walking into the forest like zombies, not knowing where they were going …
Famous suddenly turned around.”The four silly cats from yesterday …”
If these dozen or so silly cats could come back to life today, then wouldn’t the four silly cats they had met yesterday be able to do the same …
Zhang Zian slowly shook his head.”I buried the four cats yesterday. You saw it. Even if they were alive, it should be difficult for them to climb out of the ground.”
Yesterday, old time tea had asked him to bury the four dead cats out of kindness, and he had done so. In order to take care of the feelings of the elves, he had deliberately dug the pit deeper to prevent the bodies of the cats from being dug out and eaten by scavengers. Now, it seemed that his simple act had saved him and the elves some trouble …
Even if the four cats were alive, their bodies were tightly pressed down by the soil, and there was no space for them to move their joints. It was impossible for them to dig themselves out of the soil. It was like a person tied to a chair in a sitting position. His arms, body, and legs were all tied up. He could not stand up from the chair with his own strength.
“The White jade capital in the sky, twelve buildings and five cities. The Prophet touched my head and made a seal to receive nine lives …”Old time tea was creeped out and sighed.”If I have nine lives, I’d rather only live once …”
There was a zombie deer before him and a zombie cat after him. Was there a connection?
