Chapter 262 Lynx and Flying Dragon

The newly appeared footprints on the snow are traces of the animals' activities not long ago, but these footprints seem to be a little wrong.

The numerous and messy footprints should be from the deer family, but there are also some footprints similar to cats among them.

The appearance of these footprints made Han Li's heart jump violently. He quickly called Sparrow to check carefully around, and he also took out his weapons to be fully alert to the situation around him.

Han Li looked at the very fresh footprints on the snow, and he was a little unsure what animal left them.

Mainly because he had never come into contact with such animals, he did not dare to judge from the size and shape of the footprints whether it was a lynx (a little tiger cub)? A young Siberian tiger? A Siberian leopard? Or some other animal.

However, no matter which kind of cat, they are not easy to mess with. They are not only sensitive, fast, good at climbing and jumping, and have strong attack power, but also very aggressive. Many cats will take the initiative to eliminate some creatures that they think are dangerous and enter their territory.

The most important thing is that all these cats are old six. Not only are they wearing camouflage uniforms, but they are also very good at hiding themselves. They will not be easily discovered by other animals. They can always get close to their prey without being noticed, and then use their powerful explosive power to launch a fatal attack on the prey.

No matter which point, Han Li couldn't help but take it seriously. The good life has not yet begun. He doesn't want to die in the sneak attack of wild beasts.

In fact, even if Han Li discovered those cats in advance, if the opponent is a leopard or a tiger, he would not be sure to fight against the opponent head-on. Even if he was just injured, he would not be happy. No matter what kind of injury he suffered, it would reduce his quality of life in the future, and this is not a game that can be saved.

So Han Li planned to hide for a while. He temporarily leaned against a thick red pine tree and stopped moving. While waiting for the news from the sparrow, he was also thinking about how to get this big cat that he had not met yet.

Not long after, the sparrows sent back the news. After their description, Han Li understood that there should be a lynx resting on the tree in front, and there was a half-eaten silly roe deer hanging on the branch.

The camouflage color of this creature is too good, which may be the reason why the sparrow did not find it at first.

However, as long as it is not a Siberian tiger or a Siberian leopard, he will not be so nervous, after all, the size of the lynx will not give people a great sense of oppression like the former two.

But then again, in general, the diets of lynx and wolves overlap, and their activity areas are also prone to overlap, so lynx and wolf packs have always been enemies, so wolves will attack lynx, and lynx will also specifically attack smaller wolves, and even bite the wolf cubs to death when their parents are not at home. Could this lynx appear in this valley because he killed too many wolves last time?

Han Li smiled when he thought of this. This forest and valley were too big, and wild animals were mobile, especially in winter, they would follow food and prey, so his idea just now was obviously not valid.

If Han Li wanted to gain something in the surroundings, then this lynx hiding in the dark would be a hurdle that he couldn't get around.

At this moment, Han Li had just arrived here and he didn't want to quit, and he didn't want to be careful of this extremely fast and sneak attacking Lao Liu all the time, so he could only find a way to kill it, so as to ensure his safety nearby.

However, this did not mean that Han Li would underestimate this big cat. After all, the other party was also a beast, with fast and agile movements, amazing jumping ability, and extremely ferocious. Herbivores that were three to five times heavier than it were often hunted, and some lone wolves were not its opponents.

So if you want to kill it, you need to think about it carefully. If it runs away, who knows if it will sneak attack you.

Han Li thought of several ways but none of them seemed reliable. He could only wait until he got to the nearby area. Han Li walked around to the downwind side and moved towards the lynx.

Not long after walking, Han Li saw the tree where the lynx was lying. On one of the branches, there was a silly roe deer that it had not finished eating.

The tree was very thick. Since it was daytime, the big cat was sleeping in the lee of the tree.

Han Li looked at the lynx in the distance and felt a little worried. This kind of agile cat was the most difficult to deal with. Although he was in the downwind now, he would definitely be discovered by the other party as long as he approached a certain distance.

And traps were not so easy to use for them, so now the only thing that could deal with it was the trap.

Han Li looked around and selected an old tree stump. He took out a hare and scratched its fur as bait, and set up several chain traps around it. As long as the lynx came to eat the hare, it would basically not be able to escape.

Han Li left after doing all this. Now he could only hope that the lynx would come and enjoy the free food as soon as possible.

However, in order to prevent the lynx from attacking him, Han Li left a sparrow here to watch.

Han Li turned a big circle and continued to walk forward. While he was on the road, he saw the footprints of the silly roe deer.

These footprints were very fresh. Judging from the number, there should be more than a dozen of them. They should be the same group as the one killed by the lynx.

However, Han Li did not follow the footprints to find the group of silly roe deer. The main reason was that the distance was uncertain. He did not want to use his two legs to chase the four-legged beast.

Another thing was that Han Li heard a chirping sound coming from the woods next to him. This sound was the unique call of a flying dragon.

Han Li had shot down two before. Although they were small in size, they tasted really good.

Han Li was reluctant to eat the flying dragons that Aunt Liu gave him last time. He planned to have a flying dragon hotpot with his wife and sister-in-law when the ninth day came.

Due to their size, flying dragons almost completely forage on trees during winter and early spring after the ground was covered with snow, but they would burrow into the snow at night.

Han Li quietly approached the woods and saw many flying dragons foraging on trees. If he used a crossbow and a javelin, he could only keep three or four at most, but if he caught up with them at night, he could kill them all.

Although the foraging area of ​​flying dragons in winter will expand a little, it should not be too far from here.

At this time, the cold wind blew, and the snow on the branches fluttered down on Han Li's head.

Han Li looked at his watch. Since he went out late today and walked very hard on the road, it was already past one in the afternoon.

In this season, the night will fall in the deep mountains around three or four o'clock, so it is not a waste to start looking for or building a place to spend the night at this time. Moreover, Han Li was thinking about this group of flying dragons, so he wanted to choose a suitable place nearby to set up camp.

If ordinary people go into the mountains to hunt and dig ginseng, they will choose a place with high terrain, wide view and convenient water to build a cave as a long-term base in the future. During this period, they will inevitably have to dig soil and cut trees, which is definitely not a small amount of work.

However, Han Li, who is hanging on the wall, has no such worries at all, but it is absolutely impossible for him to build a place similar to a secret base, because that thing is too tiring.

However, personal safety is always the first priority in the deep mountains. Not to mention other wild animals that he didn't encounter today, the lynx wandering nearby should not be underestimated.

Han Li walked around nearby and chose a protruding rock wall not too far from the woods.

In this place, Han Li only needs to enclose two and a half sides, and the protruding part can be used as the roof of the house.

Han Li first cleared all the snow under the rock wall, decomposed the ground into pits one by one, measured the size, and the wooden stakes from the decomposition space were just right for the ground.

The two and a half walls were tightly pressed against the bottom of the rock, and a temporary place for overnight stay was ready.

After Han Li went in, he piled up stones to make a fire pit. Above the fire pit was still a hollow tree trunk as a chimney, and a simple bed was made of wood.

However, no matter how tightly the wood was arranged on the wall, it still couldn't stop the pervasive cold wind.

Even if Han Li piled firewood in the fire pit and lit it, the temperature in the room was still not high.

Han Li had to make another layer of wooden stakes as walls on the outside, and filled some soil between the two layers of wooden stakes to solve this problem.

Now the temperature in the room began to rise gradually under the burning wood. Han Li took out the wolf skin and spread it on the simple bed. After taking off his gloves, coat, and snowshoes, he sat down by the fire pit.

He took out his tools and started to melt ice, boil water, and make tea, and put black bread and red sausage on the edge of the fire pit.

It seems that Han Li was very successful with the help of the golden finger, and the construction speed was very fast.

But at this moment, the sky has gradually darkened, and the sparrow that monitored the lynx has flown back first.

Because the lynx was still lying on the tree when it flew back, the situation over there was temporarily interrupted.

Han Li had just made a cup of tea and was blowing the tea leaves on the water.

The sparrow that monitored the flying dragon also flew back. The group of flying dragons had settled in the woods not far away.

Although the sparrows had not yet entered the snow when they came back, their location had been determined. If there was no danger outside at night, Han Li could go over and pull the flying dragon out of the snow like pulling a carrot.

Thinking of the delicious flying dragon, Han Li looked at the black bread and red sausage by the fire pit and suddenly felt that they were not fragrant.

But Han Li was too lazy to cook by himself, so he missed Yun Jingjing's cooking skills. If his sister-in-law was by his side, he would not only have delicious food to enjoy, but also be able to kill the boring night.

At this time, Yun Jingjing, who was in Shanghe Village, was no longer so depressed after her sister's persuasion and comfort for three or four days, but she still didn't talk about anything about Han Li for the sake of face.
