Chapter 1545: The smell of a cat

After enough rest, Zhang Zian dismantled the tent, packed everything, and continued to set off.

Famous was still running in front, but it was not responsible for leading the way. It was only responsible for sniffing out suspicious smells.

Zhang Zian followed the electronic map in the game and moved toward the flas.h.i.+ng light. However, there were no roads in the forest. He often had to take a detour, and sometimes it was not close.

Pi, who had just gotten a new toy, followed closely behind famous.

Previously, when it heard any noise in the woods, Pi would be nervous for a while. If a small animal was suddenly driven out of the gra.s.s by famous, Pi would be so scared that it would hide behind Zhang Zian.

Now that Pi had a handy self-defense weapon in its hands, it couldnt wait to see some small animal in the forest so that it could try it out. The forest had been quiet, but it made Pi scratch its ears and cheeks in anxiety.

Zhang Zian was not worried that it would encounter danger. Although there were some fierce beasts in the mahogany forest, there were very few snake sightings, probably because of the low temperature and the fog all year round. There were definitely no poisonous snakes, so he did not bring anything to prevent them.

The herd of deer was still following them. With the deer guarding the back, they didnt have to worry about black bears or coyotes suddenly killing them from behind.

The deers injury was much better, but the wound from the bears scratch would not heal so quickly. It would take at least a month for it to fully recover.

The deer herd and Zhang Zian seemed to have formed a tacit Alliance, not just a relations.h.i.+p of feeding salt. It was good for both sides to walk together. This was a symbiotic relations.h.i.+p in a sense, just like the relations.h.i.+p between coyotes and United States Badgers.

Todays weather was the best since they entered the forest. Although it was not completely clear and cloudy, at least part of the blue sky could be seen. There was no fog, and the air was dry and cool compared to a few days ago. It could not be directly compared with the dryness of the Egypt desert.

When it was almost noon, famous, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped and straightened its body to look ahead.

Zhang Zian and the Elfins all knew that it might have discovered something new, so they were all on high alert. Pi even clenched the stick in its hand.

He first turned back to look at the herd of deer. The first deer did not have any abnormal reaction and stopped to eat the gra.s.s leisurely.

Whats wrong? He walked over and asked famous in a low voice.

Famous glanced at the cat elves in confusion and said,I think I smell a cat.

A cats scent?

Zhang Zian was also surprised. How could there be a cats scent in the forest?

Fina and old time tea also came over and sniffed it carefully, giving strong support to famouss words.

Its indeed a cats scent. Old time tea agreed.

Fina didnt deny it.

Although dogs were known for their sense of smell, cats sense of smell was not worse than that of dogs, and might even be better. However, cats were not as easy to train as dogs, and they were not as diligent and hardworking as dogs. So, even if cats had an extremely sensitive sense of smell, they would only serve themselves.

Take fina as an example. It was hard to imagine it replacing famouss position and cutting through the obstacles in front as the vanguard

Zhang Zian looked up at the branches nearby.Is it a short-tailed cat?

Just like the coyote was a canine native to North America, the short-tailed cat was a felines native to North America. It was a large wild cat, different from the j.a.pan short-tailed cat among pets. To avoid confusion and misunderstanding, it was more appropriate to call it North American mountain cat.

The Lynx was widely distributed in the three countries of North America. The specific number was unknown, but there was no danger of extinction for the time being. They were often legally hunted during the hunting season.

After the attack of the black bear and the coyote, the North American mountain cat was just a piece of cake. Although this kind of wild cat was very fierce and would even attack people actively, they were not social animals. If they were alone, they might not be able to beat Pi with a stick, so there was nothing to worry about.

Wild animals either gathered in groups, were big, or were poisonous. Otherwise, they posed little threat to humans.

After hearing Zhang Zians explanation, although it sounded reasonable, the Elfins were not completely convinced.

Are you sure its a Lynx? Fina asked suspiciously.

This question Zhang Zian had not seen it with his own eyes, so how could he be 100% sure? Of course, he didnt dare to make any guarantees. If he said something wrong, he would be the subject of gossip.

If its not the Lynx, what else can it be? Could it be a cougar? He asked in return.

Mountain lions were called mountain lions by the locals. They were much larger and heavier than the North American mountain cat. Their body length was twice that of the North American mountain cat, and they were also a greater threat to people. Therefore, the notice in the forest Park specifically pointed out the two fierce beasts, the mountain lion and the black bear.

The logo of a famous sports brand was a white cougar on a black background.

The Cougar had another name, which was the Golden Jaguar, so if one had to say It could also be considered a cat?

These were the only two species of felines that could be called felines in the wild of North America, including their series of subfamilies.

Fina and old time tea looked at each other, and then famous. They didnt seem to agree with his conclusion.

Whats wrong? If you have something to say, say it. He was a little confused by their ambiguous att.i.tude.

Richard seized the opportunity and added,Kaka! If you have a fart, let it out! Bulls.h.i.+t! s.h.i.+t! Joy in sh * t! Extreme joy begets sorrow!

Zhang Zian raised his hand and was about to hit her.Ill make you sad first!

What we smell is not the smell of wild cats, famous said.Its like The smell of domestic pet cats.

Zhang Zian, who was playing with Richard, was stunned when he heard that.

Theres the scent of a pet cat in the depths of the forest?

Could it really be a pet short-tailed cat? How was that possible?

But looking at fina and old time teas expressions, famous didnt seem to be joking.

Of course, the smell of pet cats was different from that of wild cats. Humans couldnt smell the difference, but elves could.

Are they stray cats? He suggested a possibility.

Famous and the others shook their heads and didnt say anything, because they werent sure.

Domestic cat, stray cat, and stray cat. There was no clear definition of these three concepts. Domestic cats were considered stray cats after wandering outside for a few days? If a stray cat stayed in the wild, would it be considered a stray cat?

There were many stray cats in the United States, but even if they were stray cats, how did they wander into the depths of the forest? There were all kinds of ferocious predators along the way, such as coyotes, Badgers, mountain lions, North American Bobcats, and large raptors such as eagles and owls, all of which would prey on small domestic cats.

Zhang Zian scratched his head. He couldnt understand this question.

Forget it, theres no need to think too much. Ill just take it one step at a time. He waved his hand and said,lets move on. If there really is a cat, we might meet one.
