"Is there any sound?"
Hearing Lu Xiao's question, Hong Mingcheng and Zama stopped in their tracks and listened carefully.
However, other than the rustling of the tree branches in the mountain wind, they did not hear any other strange sounds.
"Professor Lu, did you hear wrongly?”
Did he hear wrongly?
Lu Xiao recalled the strange heartbeat he heard at the treasure bowl and the voice saying," You're back." His heart unconsciously wavered for a moment.
However, the two voices from before were different from the ones he had just heard.
Soon, he became determined and shook his head."
"I don't think I heard it wrong. It's just that it's not barking now.”
Zama and Hong Mingcheng had no doubt about Lu Xiao's judgment.
Since Lu Xiao wanted them to wait a little longer, they would wait.
Sure enough, about two to three minutes later, a hoarse and helpless cry sounded from afar.
"There really is!"
This time, not only Lu Xiao, even Hong Mingcheng and Zama raised their heads at the same time. They looked at Lu Xiao in surprise and asked,"
"Professor Lu, you can hear that? If you hadn't told us to stop, I definitely wouldn't have heard it if we were to listen while walking.”
"My hearing is better than the average person, but it's not something to brag about.”
Lu Xiao smiled slightly, then he calmed himself down and pointed in a direction."
"It sounds like it's coming from over there. Let's go over and take a look first.
The voice sounded weak and helpless, probably coming from a trapped animal.”
"Alright."
Hong Mingcheng and Zama nodded their heads vigorously and followed Lu Xiao in the direction of the voice.
The sound of that thing was not too loud, and the interval between them was very long. Even with Lu Xiao's natural hearing, it was not easy to find traces.
After searching in the direction of the sound for about half an hour, the cry gradually became clearer.
"Brother, look, is that thing?!”
Zama was the first to discover something. He suppressed his voice and pointed in a direction excitedly as he shouted at Lu Xiao.
"Hmm?"
Lu Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction Zama was pointing at. The joy on his face did not linger for a moment before a haze surged up.
Because the distance was still a little far, in order to confirm his judgment, Lu Xiao took out a small telescope from his tool bag and looked in that direction.
"Professor Lu, how is it? What is it?"
Mr. Hong asked.
"Here, take a look for yourself.”
Lu Xiao handed the binoculars to Hong Mingcheng and spat.""This bunch of bastards!"
He had clearly seen through the binoculars just now that there was a similar gillnet here!
A white thing was trapped with its back facing him. It could not move, and its white fur had been dyed red and black.
The voice sounded very weak. If he hadn't discovered it, he would have died in a day or two.
"Why is there one here? Oh my god…"
Hong Mingcheng put down his binoculars and said anxiously,"
"Previously, we found this kind of barbed net and that Snowfield Tiger on the mountain over there. We have been cleaning up there. I didn't expect that there would be one here!”
"And it seems that the net on this side is not as strong as the one on the other side, or it was pulled by the trapped thing. One side has already rolled out and completely wrapped around it.
This is not a good thing."
Lu Xiao turned to look at Hong Mingcheng and extended his hand."
"Old Hong, give me the protective gear. Put it on and hurry over to take a look.”
"Good!"
They quickly put on their leather protective gear, gloves, pliers, and hacksaws. The three of them slowly approached the trapped thing.
Lu Xiao's original plan was to slowly approach from the side without alarming the trapped little guy. He would first remove the barbed net on the other side so that it would be easier to rescue him.
Unexpectedly, although the trapped animal was already very weak, its alertness did not decrease at all.
Lu Xiao and the others had just approached when that thing had already discovered them and started to struggle slightly.
However, the barbed net tied to its body was not as polite as Lu Xiao and the others.
Even the slightest struggle would pierce deeper into the flesh and bring more intense pain.
The wound that had already scabbed was torn open again and stabbed deeper. The animal trapped inside could not help but let out a painful whimper.
"Old Hong, wait a moment."
Seeing that it had discovered their traces and started to struggle, Lu Xiao quickly shouted for it to stop.
"We can't rashly approach it anymore. It's already very painful and nervous. If we go over directly, I'm afraid that it will struggle even more and its injuries will be even more serious.”
"Then what should we do? We can't just watch helplessly.”
Zama stomped his feet anxiously.
"…How about this, I'll plant some branches and leaves on my body to cover it up. I'll go over alone and try to make it a smaller target to see if it will lower its guard.”
Lu Xiao said after some thought.
"Okay, then we'll step back. Professor Lu, if you need anything, just call us. We'll be there as soon as possible.”
Hong Mingcheng and Zama helped Lu Xiao cover up with some natural camouflage and said solemnly.
"Don't worry, I saw it clearly just now. It should be a herbivore. There won't be any danger.”
Lu Xiao nodded, then lay on the ground and slowly crawled toward the trapped animal.
It was unknown whether it was because of the cover on his body or the fact that he was alone. This time, Lu Xiao approached by himself. Although the thing was also a little uneasy, it did not struggle to escape like before.
Lu Xiao tried his best to keep his voice as low as possible and slowly crawled over.
When it was only a dozen meters away from that thing, it suddenly turned around and looked at Lu Xiao.
At this moment, Lu Xiao finally saw its true face.
