The ram obviously didn't expect that this young-looking annual lamb would dare to attack him.
The male sheep hurriedly hid back, but was still hit by Zhao Meng. He looked at it with doubtful eyes, seeming a little confused.
If this ram could talk, he might accuse Zhao Meng, "It was obviously you who came to me, why didn't you follow the rules?"
Unfortunately, the argali's social language system is not as developed as humans, so he could only retreat to avoid Zhao Meng's attack.
Although he didn't understand Zhao Meng's behavior, the ram was still angered by Zhao Meng's constant attacks.
Even if he is the loser in the competition with the female above, he is not something that a young ram in his early years can provoke.
After the ram screamed angrily, it began to slam into Zhao.
Unfortunately, Zhao Meng, who had already gained the upper hand, did not let the ram regroup. While the ram on the side was retreating to the side,
He stood up and came to the top. Despite his size disadvantage, Zhao Meng quickly repelled the argali by taking advantage of this attack from top to bottom.
“Sure enough, a ram less than two years old is still a bit reluctant!”
Looking at the ram that was hit and fled, Zhao Meng shook his head. He was a little dizzy after the impact just now.
He turned his head and glanced at the rams still fighting above him, and had no choice but to leave.
After all, it would be difficult for him to deal with a failed ram wandering outside the breeding ground. If it were a ram from above, Zhao Meng was a little worried that he might lose his virginity.
"Keep eating, keep growing, keep practicing!"
…
[In July of the fourth year, the breeding season is here, and your instinct drives you to do something. 】
"it's time!"
Zhao Meng looked at the reflection in the valley river,
After two and a half years of hard work, he is now almost as big as an ox and a half.
On such a majestic body is the iconic pair of argali horns.
However, compared to ordinary argali horns, his horns actually had a shiny feel, as if they were the result of being entangled for many years.
“It’s time to take the stage this year too!”
After admiring his own state, Zhao Meng headed towards this year's breeding ground.
With the combined help of his sense of smell and hearing, he quickly found the sheep.
At this time, a group of rams were chasing the ewes. These rams seemed to be driving the ewes into an area where it was difficult to move.
In the past few years, Zhao Meng did not participate in this activity, but this time, he had a chance.
Zhao Meng used his head to push away the rams blocking the road and came to the front of the flock.
An extremely majestic ram noticed Zhao Meng, but just glanced at it and continued to chase the female sheep ahead.
Zhao Meng also saw the male sheep. In addition to giving him a warning, Zhao Meng seemed to see a trace of disdain in his eyes.
Zhao Meng can understand this. Although he has worked hard to develop for four years, he is still not old enough to enter this competition.
According to his observations, in order to obtain stable breeding rights for such a large argali sheep, it must be at least seven years old.
Although rams before the age of seven may have a chance to catch one or two lone females, their fate will often be tragic.
This is also because, without the precipitation of time, it is difficult for this strange argali to master another skill that can really determine reproduction.
"That kind of skill...
Zhao Meng was speechless when he thought about the skills he had really developed during his four years as a Canadian argali:
"There are such strange things in this world?"
“The wonders of mammals should not be underestimated!”
Zhao Meng followed the rams and continued to chase the ewes. He said they were chasing, but in fact they were forcing these "girls" into corners.
The road ahead became increasingly rugged, and finally we reached a dead end, and the ewes stopped running away.
Instead, they each occupied a comfortable corner and looked back at the rams.
For the ewes, the legs and feet of the rams that can climb here are no problem. The steep cliff has completed part of the natural selection for them.
Then comes the internal competition among these Rams.
At this time, Zhao Meng had just stood firm, and the gravel rolled down the steep hillside.
Somewhere below, the rams that failed to climb were looking up at them, and deeper in the valley, there were already some traces of predator activity.
Those predators are waiting for a meal to fall from the sky. While Zhao Meng was observing his surroundings, a gust of dark wind hit him.
Upon hearing such a noise, Zhao Meng quickly jumped to another stone.
After standing still, Zhao Meng looked at the sneak attacker. It was a male ram that was similar in size to him, but three years older than him, and had already mastered certain skills.
"It's about to begin!"
The ram took the initiative to attack without waiting for Zhao Meng to react. It first hit Zhao Meng,
After a collision, the argali took advantage of the terrain, turned sideways, raised its strong hind legs, and kicked towards a place with gusts of cold wind.
Zhao Meng quickly turned around to avoid the kick.
"Too dangerous!"
"How could this kind of argali evolve in such a way?"
Zhao Meng was confronting the argali opposite, while looking at an important part of the ram's waist.
There are the most important and critical tools at this time. It is not known what stimulation this Canadian mouflon received during its evolution.
Maybe during a confrontation with someone,
One argali accidentally discovered that direct attack could solve the problem of male competition once and for all.
So after the collision, this kind of argali actually mastered the monkey's ability to steal peaches.
"Evolution in nature is really amazing."
"I finally understand why this huge argali has not been domesticated by humans."
"This ability to steal peaches is terrifying."
Zhao Meng continued to confront the argali on the opposite side. They both knew that
If something goes wrong in the next game, one of them may permanently lose the ability to reproduce.
In the previous confrontation, the opponent also discovered that Zhao Meng was not the young lamb below, and he could steal the peach smoothly.
"I can't fail!"
"If we fail, the simulation will fail."
Zhao Meng stared closely at the argali opposite him and moved his body slightly, trying to hide his vital parts.
But following Zhao Meng's movements, the adult argali opposite him, who had a lot of experience in stealing peaches, was like a professional boxer, always keeping his sights on the enemy's weak points.
The confrontation continued like this, and rams were picked down from the mountain from time to time.
For this kind of sheep living in the mountains, falling down is normal, but these losers have all experienced varying degrees of peach stealing.
Under the stimulation of pain, it is difficult for them to adjust their posture and find the landing point. They can only let themselves fall all the way to the valley, and eventually become food for predators.
When Zhao Meng saw this tragic situation, although he was a little nervous, he still forced himself to calm down.
He has simulated many animals, and he should not be afraid of death, but if he died in this way, Zhao Meng would find it difficult to accept it.
Finally, the argali opposite him couldn't hold his nerve and wanted to attack him.
But at this moment, an extremely majestic ram appeared,
It stared at Zhao Meng and the ram confronting Zhao Meng, as if it was about to attack a certain party.
The sudden appearance of a third party brought the confrontation that was about to break out back to its original state again.
The original situation of two heroes opposing each other has now become a three-god confrontation.
Time passed little by little, and the female sheep who were watching from the side seemed to be a little impatient.
After calling a few times, he planned to leave. When he saw the ewe taking action, the confronting ram was immediately attracted to the ewe.
The majestic ram took two steps back and quickly followed.
The male sheep who was confronting Zhao Meng slowly retreated away from Zhao Meng.
Seeing the two rams leaving, Zhao Meng silently breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.
…
There were so many sheep that two rams could not finish them all, so Zhao Meng also got some free opportunities.
However, Zhao Meng was a little dissatisfied with the results of this breeding period, and always felt like he was still holding his breath.
"I originally thought that with human wisdom, I could give full play to my ability to steal peaches."
"But I still want to keep it simple. The behavior of the argali, which has taken countless years, has become instinctive."
"You still have to practice more!"
[In August of the fourth year, you suddenly kicked a moose due to some unknown stimulus. 】
Watching the moose running away,
Zhao Meng shook his head helplessly. The moose was too tall to practice, and it had to be of the same race.
Zhao Meng looked for other male argali sheep. However, although the argali sheep have a certain social nature.
However, there seems to be a lack of trust between males and males, and they generally do not meet except during the breeding season.
"By the way, there is also a kind of argali!"
Zhao Meng went into the forest and looked for some argali sheep that had launched a special attack on him.
These argali sheep are easy to find.
They were like females and would move in groups. However, after Zhao Meng spent time with them, he could only run away.
…
[In September of the fourth year, you actually attacked the predator. 】
"Too fragile!"
Zhao Meng looked at the lone wolf in front of him that he had kicked to death, and he could only look for a new target.
"Bear, no, even though they are about the same height, it's too dangerous."
Zhao Meng, who stood on the cliff, looked at the furious male bear below and shook his head helplessly.
Winter is approaching, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and Zhao Meng can find fewer and fewer experimental subjects.
In the absence of animal experiments, Zhao Meng could only practice his kicking through some manual methods.
He compared it with his body and made marks with his legs in some places, such as on some tree trunks.
In this way, Zhao Meng began to practice this unique technique of argali sheep day and night.
[In August of the fifth year, the new breeding season has arrived, and you have rejoined the male breeding team]
After a series of familiar processes, Zhao Meng followed the argali and came to the edge of the steep cliff again.
Looking at the argali in front of me, it keeps throwing its hooves and seems to be about to attack.
Without any hesitation, Zhao Meng raised his leg and kicked. After this year of practice, Zhao Meng has mastered this skill skillfully. His hoof hit the vital point, and the ram rolled down in pain.
Zhao Meng glanced at the fallen ram, then just shook his head gently and continued climbing.
Step by step, he reached the highest point and kicked out his own clan.
He finally completed the journey to the top of the Canadian Argali. Although the journey was somewhat tortuous, the result was very beautiful.
[In March of the sixth year, you led your flock to migrate to the summer pasture. 】
Zhao Meng, who was eating grass, shook the dewdrops off his body and looked up at the jumping lambs.
"The mission of this simulation is almost complete. All we have to do is wait until life ends naturally."
"According to observations, the lifespan of this kind of argali is about ten years, and there is not much time left."
It is not easy to judge the age of ordinary animals, but the horns of animals like argali are like growth rings, so it is easy to observe the age of animals.
[In September of the ninth year, the breeding season is here, and a new challenger appears in front of you. 】
"You are too young to challenge my position."
Looking at the young argali fleeing, Zhao Meng retracted his hoof.
Although his physical fitness has declined, as the saying goes, ginger is still hotter with age, and his kicking skills are becoming more and more proficient.
[In May of the eleventh year, the temperature is getting warmer, mosquitoes are prevalent, and you are sick. 】
"This simulation is almost over!"
After taking a look at the group below, Zhao Meng turned around and disappeared into the mountains.
The decline in physical fitness no longer allows him to continue to participate in breeding.
After all, Zhao Meng was afraid of overturning, so he had no choice but to withdraw from the breeding competition because of his old age.
[In September of the thirteenth year, the breeding season has arrived, but because of your health, you are no longer interested. 】
Loud crashing sounds kept coming from the valley.
Zhao Meng, who had a premonition of something, walked out of the cave where he was hiding.
He climbed hard to the top and listened to the sounds coming from the valley.
A gust of wind blew by, and the argali, which was supposed to be a mountain spirit, could not stand up. The brown-gray figure fell from the mountain and became a gift from nature.
[Simulation successful]
Under the interference of the phantom of the human head, the influence of the argali gradually disappeared from his body. Zhao Meng opened his eyes and let out a long breath:
"Another animal's life and death."
Experiencing the process of each animal from birth to death always evokes different emotions in his heart, and also makes him feel a little numb.
"It's time to extract the entries!"
Zhao Meng did not forget his purpose, came to the shadow space, and touched the lottery tube.
He saw a ray of light flying out of the lottery tube and landing in front of him.
【Rumination (blue)】
"You can spit out the food you eat and process it again to speed up digestion."
Looking at this entry, Zhao Meng shook his head gently. The effect of this entry seemed to be the same as that of the previous entry called [Stomach Vomiting].
He had no interest in choosing and continued to extract the next entry.
As his consciousness shook the lottery tube, another ray of light appeared in front of him.
"gold!"
"It turns out to be a rare attack type entry!"
[Precision Strike (Gold) (Why do you always attack here) (Straight to the root of life)]
"One definition of life is that it grows more than it dies. It is an information structure that can reproduce itself, and you can precisely destroy this foundation from a certain structure."
