Earthlings' Hunting Rules

Lu Bai woke up from his sleep and saw that it was only past six o'clock.

I had a vague dream just now, but I don't remember what the dream was about.

The temperature in the rescue station in winter is suitable, which is very suitable for sleeping in the cage. Lu Bai thought that it was a holiday anyway, so he turned around and hugged the quilt, and continued to dream about Duke Zhou.

He slept until eight o'clock, which was more than the usual working hours, but Lu Bai did not rush, he got up and packed himself, put on the long-lost thin work clothes, took the snow series photo album he had prepared, and went to the office Look for Div, although he doesn't know if the station master is at work or not.

It was only when Lu Bai went to the office that he was informed that Difu was on a business trip and would not be back until the end of January.

So the station master is really on a business trip?

Lu Bai was quite disappointed, he planned to follow the station master to eat, drink and have fun like before when he came back for vacation.

Now it seems that I can only go by myself.

Max just came over to take over, and he was very happy to meet Lu Bai. As a Lu Bai fan and partner, he insisted on hugging Lu Bai.

"Honey, are you here to find Div?" After the hug, Max sighed, and couldn't bear to continue on the road of lying: "Div is not in the station, you may not see him until the end of January."

Lu Bai nodded: "I already knew it just now. It turns out that the station master is really on a business trip. No wonder he hasn't contacted me for a long time."

"Yes, he is inconvenient."

After the two chatted for a while, Lu Bai went back, because he still had to get his hair cut.

After watching Lu Bai leave, Max returned to his post, and his colleague immediately said to him: "Look, the data intercepted at five o'clock in the morning."

The staff who talked to Max have been tracking the animal state of His Royal Highness who just entered from late last night until now.

He sent a not-so-clear video to Max. As for why he shared it with Max, of course it was because Max, Lu Bai's partner, had often shared wonderful videos with him in the past.

"What data?" Max was not paying attention at first, but he raised his eyes and glanced at the light screen, and was immediately attracted by his full energy, and then excitedly said, "It's His Royal Highness Samuel?"

The beast in the video, a huge figure with black stripes on a white background, flashes past in the forest, as if it is chasing something.

The reason why Max was able to recognize the animal form of His Royal Highness Samuel at a glance was entirely because there was only one highland white tiger that was so huge and powerful in the reserve.

"His Royal Highness is hunting?"

"No, other beasts have strayed into his territory by mistake."

"So that's how it is..." The two people who watched the video together were amazed after watching the video. His Highness was really energetic, and they had a fight just after returning to the forest.

The orange tiger was actually not weak, and they mourned for him. Why were they so hesitant to invade the white tiger's territory?

But it’s not surprising that highland tigers like to live on snow-capped mountains with high altitudes. It seems that the higher they live, the more they can reflect their strength and status.

The snow-capped mountain where the white tiger lives is located in the northernmost part of the entire reserve. It is not the tallest, but it is special enough. It is a diverse natural landscape integrating active volcanoes, ice and snow, hot springs, waterfalls, and forests. Its terrain is dangerous and complex. , the ecological environment is primitive and natural, and it is a protected area where human beings have set foot the least.

The nearest rescue point here is a hundred kilometers away, and human beings will never set foot here if they have nothing to do.

The beast form of human beings is rarely placed around here.

Only His Royal Highness Samuel's animal form, no matter where he is placed, after a day or two, he will eventually return to his residence on the mountainside of this active volcano.

The altitude of the nest chosen by the other party is already the limit acceptable to ordinary animals, and there are no animals living any higher.

Animals that are greedy for warmth will move in groups in the basins or canyons below the mountain. The stronger the beasts, the higher the altitude they live in, and they will only go down the mountain when their prey eats food.

The advantage of living in a remote location is that you don't have to worry about the beastly state of your ferocious and powerful Highness accidentally injuring other humans.

In other words, His Royal Highness Samuel's animal behavior is quite worry-free. As long as he does not commit suicide, he can spend three months in the reserve in peace.

The first day of December was an extraordinary day for the Oliver family.

Like every year in the past, they got up early in the morning, dressed up, and prepared to welcome their returning son.

While enjoying breakfast, he was told that Master Oliver had returned in the early morning, and he should be resting in his room now.

"He's back?" The family members were stunned and a little nervous. Oliver's mother asked, "Does he look okay?"

The butler who received Oliver replied: "The young master looks fine, there is no abnormality in his leg, I can't feel the difference between him and before the injury, it's just..."

just what?

Everyone held their breath, showing nervous expressions, afraid to hear the answer that Oliver's mental state was still very depressed...

"The young master seems to be a little absent-minded," said the housekeeper.

That's it?

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

While talking, a slender and tall figure came down from upstairs. It was Oliver in home clothes.

As the housekeeper said, he was no different from before, except that his black hair, which had not been trimmed for three months, was a little longer, half tied behind his head with a rubber band.

It’s not that there is no difference at all, there are still some differences if you look carefully. Before Oliver entered the animal state, he was very thin because of both physical and psychological out-of-control. Today, three months later, he is back handsome and strong, even his skin color is the same. Healthy wheat color.

Oliver walked down, stood in front of his relatives, smiled slightly with his lips bent, and said, "Good morning, I'm back."

The family members looked at him, each with their own exaggerated expressions, expressing their surprise for his return, and everything was finally reduced to a simple sentence: "Good morning, Oliver, welcome back."

Oliver's father smiled: "Come and sit down and have a long-lost breakfast." They haven't had a meal with Oliver for a long time, even though Oliver was recuperating at home before.

"Okay." Oliver nodded.

After he was injured, he recuperated at home for several months. Because of his poor condition, he seldom came out to eat with his family.

But those are all things of the past.

He picked up a cup of hot drink and took a sip in a calm mood. He felt very good, and the familiar self returned.

As for the events that caused him to fall into the vortex and emotional storm before, they are now pressed in the bottom of his heart, and he doesn't want to touch them, but he just can't forget them.

"Honey, the necklace around your neck?" Oliver's mother had been observing her son carefully, and she finally saw the biggest change in Oliver's body.

As a senior military officer, Oliver never wears jewelry, but now he has a necklace around his neck for no reason.

"This..." Oliver touched it and replied to his mother, "I have it when I wake up at the rescue station."

Just after he finished saying this sentence, everyone at the table suddenly understood and understood, and the younger brother immediately revealed the answer: "I know! It must have been given to you by Lu Bai."

Every furry of Lu Bai has such a gift.

Oliver paused slightly with his fingertips, and looked sideways at his younger brother: "Lu Bai?"

"That's right." The whole family said in unison.

Then Oliver encountered the same experience as Louis. Today's breakfast table became the scene of a large-scale party performance by the family.

Everyone was scrambling to tell him how he was rescued in the forest in the past three months, from a disabled lone wolf to a wolf king who had led a huge furry team of forty...

Oliver was so surprised: "..."

It's not that he suspects that his family members are lying, but that the story told by the family members sounds like a plot only in a novel.

A disabled lone wolf meets rescuers who appreciate him accompanying him and helping him recover under the snow-capped mountains. The leader of the group, this metamorphosis is really fiction.

"Are you kidding me?"

"Wait a minute." His mother immediately put down the tableware, ran upstairs, and put all his photos and video materials in front of him, with a gentle face: "If you feel bad, just take a look." Looking at yourself in the animal state, he is really a happy little angel."

"..."

He had never been described in this way before, and Oliver only felt a layer of goosebumps creeping up on his arms.

However, after breakfast, he picked up the pile of documents without any resistance, and went back to his room to read slowly.

Adonis received a notification from the rescue station that Samuel had entered the forest, and now Lu Bai returned to the rescue station for vacation.

It is said that the other party is a workaholic, and it is common for him not to have a holiday for two or three months. No wonder he can get along so well with Samuel.

The army commander who originally wanted to go to the rescue station had to wait. Although he really wanted to see Lu Bai, as Samuel thought, people who seemed unreliable were sometimes very reliable.

If you say what you say, you must keep your promise, okay?

Adonis, who didn't go to the rescue station to work, welcomed an unexpected visitor and invited him to go out to meet.

The two men were sitting in the restaurant on the top floor of the building. Adonis glanced at the other's recovered leg and said with a smile, "It looks good now?"

Oliver also smiled, picked up the spoon and stirred the coffee in the cup, and said, "Now you are in charge of the reserve."

"What's wrong?" Although he hasn't taken office yet, it is true.

Facing Adonis' direct gaze, Oliver didn't beat around the bush, and said directly, "I want to see someone from your aid station."

He knew that this was against the rules. If Samuel was sitting across from him, oh no, Samuel would not waste his time coming out to make an appointment. The other party would just tell him to let him know on the communicator.

Adonis was taken aback, then smiled: "Lu Bai?"

Oliver raised his eyebrows, as if asking how do you know?

And Adonis laughed until his shoulders were shaking, why did he feel happy?Because another unlucky ghost with the same mood as him appeared, yo, this team is getting bigger and bigger.

"It's impossible for you to see him." After calming down, Adonis returned to normal, his tone was even serious, and said, "Not only you, but everyone who stayed with Lu Bai during the animal state cannot see him .”

Difu's beastly behavior may be an exception, because the other party has not been in contact with Lu Bai for too long, and they have not cultivated feelings between them.

Samuel probably also considered the follow-up work contact, so he forcibly intervened and let Lu Bai send Difu away in advance.

Remembering that Heidan was also the beast beside Lu Bai, Oliver was surprised.

"You don't need to put on such an expression, otherwise why do you think I still have time to sit here?" Adonis smiled wryly: "Lu Bai is on vacation at the rescue station, and I will go back after he leaves me."

"Is it an order from His Royal Highness Samuel?"

"otherwise?"

Oliver was helpless, paused, he looked at Adonis hesitantly: "You don't want to see him?"

Adonis glanced at him. "Believe me, I want to see him as much as you want to see him."

The former army commander, who had always been law-abiding, pursed his lips slightly. He disagreed in his heart, but he didn't refute. He just said, "Is it okay to meet him unilaterally?" He is no longer a member of the military department, so there is no need to carry so many Rules: "I believe that with your and my strength, it's easy not to be discovered by him."

"..." Adonis was almost persuaded a little bit.

Indeed, now that Samuel is not here, neither is Deve, and he has the final say on the entire reserve. It doesn't seem that difficult to operate it to see Lu Bai?

However, Adonis killed the evil idea just in time, and he stared at some retired guy with a smile: "It's a good idea, but if it comes to light, who do you think Samuel will blame?" Think he would be so stupid ?He must be blaming him at work, okay.

Oliver, who was found to be using people as gunmen, was a little embarrassed: "..."

Suddenly, Adonis squinted at the necklace pendant on Oliver's collarbone: "Your necklace is not given by Lu Bai?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Adonis remained silent, and Lu Bai really treated them equally, and everyone had a small gift.

Adonis now only has one humble wish left, as long as Lu Bai doesn't give others the same gift as him.

On the second day after Oliver's return, he came to look for him in such a hurry, probably because he still remembered Lu Bai after waking up, but he didn't know how many.

This guy's style has always been restrained and conservative, allowing the other party to make overreaching demands when they know they are breaking the rules, which shows that he remembers quite a lot.

But it's not surprising, Lu Bai devoted too much thought to Oliver, and there was a different atmosphere between them.

If it is said that Lu Bai just took care of the former animals as cuties, then...Oliver's animal appearance gave Lu Bai a feeling of spiritual support.

Therefore, people who look like honest people are more likely to be trusted.

Oliver couldn't meet Lu Bai through Adonis' accommodation, and the only way to see Lu Bai next was the live broadcast room that the other party opened from time to time.

But it is said that it usually only opens once every ten days and a half months. Combined with the fact that the other party is on vacation recently, Oliver sighed softly.

"Go back to the military headquarters?"

"...Let's talk about it later."

Not only is Samuel a workaholic, but Oliver hasn't had a vacation for a long time before retiring. Taking this opportunity, he feels that he should sort out how to go on.

Two days later, news came from the aid station that Lu Bai was going back to the forest.

Adonis, who had been on duty for a long time to avoid him, could finally pack up and go to the rescue station to take up his post.

"Hello, are you the captain who sent Lu Bai to the forest? Please report your destination." The first thing to do is to determine Lu Bai's coordinates.

"Yes, near Clivia Volcano."

Adonis was stunned, first he felt that this place was slightly familiar, and then he suddenly remembered that this was Samuel's animal form - the old home of the white tiger that never moved. He asked, "Didn't your Highness tell you... Don't let Lu Bai go there?"

He did not believe that with Samuel's prudence, there would be no order.

The captain looked nervous, thinking that he had done something wrong: "But I haven't been notified..."

That's weird.

"Whose destination is this?" Adonis said seriously.

"Uh, a temporary decision..." The thing is, the originally planned destination was not Clivia Volcano, but another place, but later the rescuers worried that it was too close to the place where the great white wolf lived, and they would meet with him after returning. Dabai meets...

That place was more or less a sad place, Lu Bai was really helpless, he chose the coordinates again, he just wanted to stay far away, so as to ensure that Dabai would not find him.

Looking at the map data, I found that the Clivia Volcano has shown signs of activity in the past few days. The active volcano is so cool. Lu Bai has always wanted to go there. This time, he just happened to have nothing to do, so he went for a walk first.

The rescuer said that he was going to take a break. The captain seemed to know that he was in a low mood recently, so how could he refuse such a request?

Adonis raised his forehead: "So you sent him there?" In other words, the communication was too late. Is it too late to bring the other party back now?

"Hmm." The captain was very disturbed, not knowing what he did wrong!

"Forget it." At this point, Adonis thought for a while. The white tiger's lair was on the mountainside at a high altitude. He believed that when Lu Bai went to see the volcano, he just looked at it from a distance, and would not actually climb it. up to see.

There is one thing to say, the Clivia Volcano is indeed spectacular and beautiful, and it is a place suitable for relaxation and gathering.

Clivia Volcano is unpopular and remote. How could Samuel have thought that the captain he arranged would mention it unexpectedly, and Lu Bai really wanted to see the volcano.

In Lu Bai's mind, the volcano is powerful and mysterious, but also frightening, full of uncertainty and danger, but this is what makes it have a strange and charming temperament, which attracts people to explore.

Data show that this active volcano has not erupted for hundreds of thousands of years, and usually only smokes.

From a distance it looks like a dying fire.

The flat land around the foot of the mountain does not have much snow due to geothermal heat.

The side of the snowy water stream is covered with lush plants, and the trees are growing as usual.

On the contrary, the mountainside of the volcano is like wearing a white apron, covered with snow.

As far as the temperature is concerned, it's not too cold here. Xiao Qiuku likes the climate here very much, and flies out to play as soon as he comes here.

Lu Bai sat on the self-driving tricycle, opened the roof and raised the camera to take pictures.

Soon some herbivorous animals entered his field of vision and became the protagonists of the new photos.

Thanks to the blessing of the active volcano, the winter here is like an overseas paradise, full of surprises.

I heard from colleagues that there are hot springs here.

This is the standard configuration near the volcano, but not all hot springs in the wild can be soaked, either they are too hot, or the water contains too many minerals and is too poisonous...

Even so, Lu Bai deliberately searched for nearby landmarks, and found it. When he arrived, he saw animals moving around the hot spring. Guessing that the water quality is okay?

The hot spring is flowing, clear and not deep, and there are wisps of white smoke on the water surface, which is water vapor.

Lu Bai took out a small instrument for measuring water quality, squatted by the water to test, and found that this hot spring can really soak, the temperature and water quality are quite good, and he will come to enjoy it when he needs to take a bath.

Just as he was thinking, Lu Bai heard some movement behind him, as if something had passed by.

He looked back: "Little long johns?"

No, that sound doesn't sound like a movement a bird can make.

Listen carefully, it seems that a beast is hunting.

Lu Bai, who claims to be experienced, has no way to determine what kind of beast it is. This is very unusual. After all, he has been in the forest for more than half a year and has come into contact with many beasts.

Even he has no way of judging, it can only be a beast that has never been in contact with or has rarely been in contact with.

To be honest, Lu Bai just wants to walk around to relax and collect the wind recently, and he doesn't want to be in such a hurry to get in touch with other furries.

But this movement aroused his curiosity, he wanted to step up and take a look, knowing what it was was enough.

Lu Bai cautiously walked in one direction... The primeval forest here is not too difficult to walk, there are not many plants under the tall trees, only countless mosses and grasses.

The boots stepped on the ground, and the owner thought that his steps were very light and would not disturb any animals.

Five minutes later, Lu Bai saw a small deer with a bitten leg lying on the nearby flat ground from a distance, but there were no other beasts around.

Lu Bai looked around, then looked at the deer, and guessed that maybe the beast had left. In this case, he would definitely save the deer that had narrowly escaped death.

It's just a little strange, why the beast left while the prey was right in front of him?Unless there is an unavoidable situation, ferocious beasts will not give up their prey so easily...

Lu Bai was thinking, and turned around to go back to the car to get the first-aid kit. The moment he turned around, a force suddenly rushed up from behind, pushing Lu Bai to the ground, causing the camera in his hand to snap Fell out and rolled far away.

"Ah..." No matter how good Lu Bai's mental quality was, he was so frightened that he let out a short exclamation, and his face turned pale instantly.

He felt a huge force pressing on the back of his head, making it impossible for him to turn back.

But the hand that was struggling with inertia seemed to catch something in the dancing, it was the touch of fur.

At this moment, pressing on the back of Lu Bai's head was a giant tiger claw with black stripes on a white background, but the rescuer had no way to turn his head, otherwise he would see one, the largest highland white tiger he had ever seen, The iconic thick and huge bones, with obvious primitive blood, are absolutely different from the tigers he saw in the zoo.

After experiencing a brief panic, Lu Bai forced himself to calm down. He lay motionless on the ground, but tilted his head slightly to ensure that he could breathe smoothly.

The hands raised above the head seemed to be a gesture of surrender, but the animal didn't buy it, and he had to use another way to express his harmlessness and unpalatableness.

As for the method, he has not thought of it yet...

Lu Bai, who was trying to see what kind of beast was behind him so that he could prescribe the right medicine, only moved his head slightly, and was held down by a stronger force. Specifically to warn him, don't move around.

Lu Bai closed his eyes tightly, and didn't dare to move anymore, because he felt a breath approaching the back of his neck, and something like teeth pressed against the skin...Damn, his scalp exploded , a layer of goosebumps representing fear surged up on his body, didn't he say that good beasts don't bite earthlings?

At this moment, Lu Bai just wanted to take out his resident ID card and slap the face of this blind beast: I am a native of Earth!

The rescuer, who was heartbroken, thought of his indistinct ability to communicate with animals, so he tried to beg in a low voice: "Brother Beast, I'm sorry to disturb your hunting, but I really don't mean any harm, so you treat me as a Just fart, human meat is sour and not tasty... woo."

The force on the head was transferred to the back, Lu Bai was like a frightened bird, but he didn't dare to challenge to spy on the murderer's face a second time.

He suspected that what he encountered was a brown bear, so it would be fine to play dead, but there is a certain risk in playing dead.

Just as he was thinking wildly, there was the sound of animals fleeing in a hurry nearby, and the force on Lu Bai's back was released, and the other party seemed to leave.

Lu Bai wasn't sure, he lay down on the ground for a while before he dared to turn around, but found that there was nothing around.

The injured fawn on the ground was gone.

So, it should be a brown bear, right?

The rescuer who saved his life breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help admiring his lifelike skills of pretending to be dead, successfully fooling a brown bear.

...is that really a brown bear?

In fact, the voice of that beast was different from that of a bear, but Shuanzi didn't call it that way anyway.

Still in shock, Lu Bai got up and picked up the camera to take pictures. He went back to the tricycle and wanted to find another place to stay, but he couldn't let go of this hot spring.

I'm a little sorry for myself if I don't soak for a while before leaving.

Thinking about the aggressive beast, it should be busy eating now, Lu Bai took off his clothes, and had already decided to spoil the hot spring before leaving.

Although it was cold when I took off my clothes, it felt good to soak in. The water temperature was very comfortable. There were stones under my feet. After years of washing, there were not too many sundries.

Lu Bai had the foresight before he went down, he brought himself a bottle of drink and a bunch of snacks.

This kind of wonderful place, which can be called a fairyland on earth, although he knew that the less people set foot in it, the better, but Lu Bai's first thought was to share it with people he had a good relationship with.

Soaking in the hot springs in winter is perfect, but it's a pity that His Royal Highness Samuel and the station manager are on a business trip, and they haven't even replied to the message recently, otherwise we can try it?

No, they are afraid of wild beasts attacking and cannot stay long in the forest.

While eating snacks and watching a movie, Lu Bai suddenly stopped and blinked his eyes: "..." He had a strange expression, turned his head and looked around, but saw nothing.

The faint feeling of being watched makes one's scalp tingle.

Could it be that the beast is back?

The potato chips in Lu Bai's mouth were tasteless, after much deliberation, he still got up and put on his clothes, calling back to the little long johns.

He felt that he might have strayed into the territory of some beast by mistake, so it was better for them to leave here as soon as possible when the owl came back.

When the owl flew back, the rescuer drove away in the car.

To be honest, Lu Bai's guess is not wrong. Although this is not the place where the white tiger lives, it is indeed the exclusive hunting range designated by the white tiger.

The hot spring that Lu Bai ruined just now is also the favorite place of water-loving monsters.

As soon as he came, he occupied the territory of Huo Huo's family and invaded their pool, so it's no wonder he wasn't targeted.

The author has something to say:-

Trespassed by other beasts: bite to death!

Being set foot in the territory by a human youth: hinting him to leave with his eyes, if he doesn't want to leave, then forget it, forget it.
