Xiao Yu's eyes were splitting: "What does the lynx want to do by blocking our way? Could it be that they want to take us back as a food reserve?"
Su Anji said nervously: "Wen Xi, as soon as I shoot, you will..."
Wen Xi interrupted him and asked an irrelevant question: "Would you give your food to strangers?"
"How long has it been since Wenxi, and you still say these useless things!"
Xiao Yu's brain nerves were highly tense and tense due to the lynx's strange behavior. But when he heard Wen Xi say such unsatisfactory words, he couldn't hold back any longer.
Su Anji's feelings for Wenxi were unusual. He was not as irritable as Xiao Yu. He replied: "Food is so precious. I can't even eat enough for myself. How can I give food to strangers? Wenxi, why do you suddenly ask this?"
Xiao Yu said angrily: "We are facing a formidable enemy, can you two be serious?"
Wen Xi and Shan Mao looked at each other and stood up slowly: "I'll go meet it. If you see the situation is bad, just run away and don't worry about me."
Su Anji shouted: "Wenxi, don't even think about leaving me!"
Xiao Yu was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "Wen Xi, what do you want to do? Are you really crazy about subduing this mutated beast? Are you crazy?"
"Yes," Wen Xi nodded: "Just think I'm crazy. The lynx doesn't have any ill intentions towards me. I want to know what it wants from me."
She straightened her back and tentatively took one step forward, then another. The lynx looked at her quietly the whole time, not showing even the slightest bit of aggression.
Both Su Anji and Xiao Yu were so nervous that they didn't dare to blink, for fear of missing the chance to save Wen Xi if they missed it.
Wenxi was less than one meter away from the mutant giant rat. She could reach out and touch the mutant giant rat that was still warm, and gently patted the mutant giant rat in front of the bobcat.
The bobcat's vertical pupils changed, but it still didn't move. It squatted there and watched Wenxi approach its prey.
Wen Xi blurted out: "Hey, Shanmao, what do you want to do?"
The lynx didn't move, just looked at Wen Xi quietly.
Wenxi couldn't figure out Shan Mao's thoughts, so he didn't dare to make any move. You looked at me and I looked at you, big eyes staring at small eyes, and it was like a stalemate.
The fear of the unknown made the flow of time extremely slow. Su Anji and Xiao Yu did not dare to let their guard down, for fear that they would miss the opportunity if they relaxed.
Wenxi's breathing rate slowly returned to its original state, and her pounding heart in her chest also calmed down. Her ears were no longer filled with the noisy heartbeat, and she focused on observing the lynx opposite.
This bobcat, which was the size of an adult buffalo before the disaster, is light brown in color as an adult, with white to light gray colors on the chin and upper part of the throat, the chest between the legs, and the groin.
The ears are light red, closely spaced, and have small tufts of dark brown to black hair on the tips of the ears. There are conspicuous white spots on the eyes and snout, and dark spots from the nose to the eyes. The tip of the tail is black, and there is a dark ring pattern near the end of the tail.
Compared with the size of the calico cats raised in Wenxi, this bobcat can be called a small mountain.
This bobcat may have been well-trained in sitting posture. It sits upright and has thick and powerful forelimbs. If you look closely at the layered fur on the left hind limb, you will see that it is a flower-armed cat with no visible fur!
Perhaps because Wen Xi's gaze was too intense, the bobcat purred with unknown meaning from its throat, and its vertical pupils changed again.
"Wenxi!"
Su Anji was about to go crazy with the fear of losing Wenxi. He yelled and was about to fire. He couldn't wait any longer and didn't want to give Wenxi another chance to verify her suspicion.
Bang——
Before Su Anji could open fire, his whole body was tied up by sweet potato vines.
"Anji Su, I didn't let you fire!"
Wen Xi turned his head and saw the aggressive lynx, and his anger rose. He didn't care about any more friendly negotiations with the lynx, so he pulled Xiao Yu and retreated, running for his life.
Xiao Yu couldn't help but said, "Wen Xi, why do you think you're doing this?"
Wen Xi led Xiao Yu and Su Anji and rushed forward without looking back, listening intently to what was happening behind him.
After running wildly for a distance, Wenxi suddenly stopped and turned around to see the lynx still squatting in the same position. "The lynx did not attack us, so we should not provoke it."
Su Anji knew she was in the wrong, so she drooped her head and remained silent.
Xiao Yu thought he had the obligation to remind him, but even though he knew Wenxi was unwilling to listen, he still said it: "Mutated beasts are wild and difficult to tame. Wenxi, I don't recommend you take the risk."
Wen Xi nodded. She knew how weird her behavior was: "I made a mistake just now. I shouldn't have acted without regard for your safety."
But she... really didn't feel that the lynx had any ill intentions towards them.
Su Anji stopped talking.
The lynx blocked the way forward, and the three of Wenxi had to change their original plan and turn around and walk towards the cave where they lived temporarily.
On the way back, Wen Xi looked back frequently. At some point, the lynx disappeared with the mutant giant rat in its mouth, and it did not catch up with her as she expected.
Seeing that Wen Xi was not very interested, Xiao Yu quickly came up with an idea to distract her: "Wen Xi, it's still early, how about we go down the mountain along the way we came? Maybe we can connect to the 318 base network and check the living habits of the lynx."
Wen Xi had no objection. She also wants to know whether this ghost mountain is really like the legend of "there is no return".
When Su Anji saw that Wenxi had no objection, he didn't say anything.
Following the growth traces of the mutated sweet potatoes, the three of Wenxi returned to the nest of the mutated giant bird smoothly. After resting for half an hour, the three of them followed the signs on the way they came from and walked down the mountain.
An hour later, Xiao Yu couldn't help but ask: "Huh? Wen Xi, are we going in a circle? Look at this mark! I've seen it three times in total!"
Wen Xi: "Could it be the legendary ghost breaking the wall?"
