Chapter 400 - 400: Animals Have Gained Intelligence?
“Ying, from here.. I think I can see the location of the Qin Village.”
MO Ruyue pointed into the distance. Wasn’t that mountain peak that had been cut off the mountain behind the Qin Village?
How high was the elevation of the Treasure Valley for them to be able to see it from such a distance?
“Yes, but it won’t be easy for us to go around it.”
Gu Ying wasn’t like MO Ruyue, who could see the location of the Qin Village at a glance. The first thing he did after coming up was to look around, his goal was to find a way out.
What he saw was that the way the cliff broke was very strange. It was as if the entire Treasure Valley had been dug out from the ground.
The fault zone that appeared around the entire valley meant that no matter how they went around it, they would still have to go back the way they came.
MO Ruyue also saw this scene and was instantly speechless.
A seemingly ridiculous thought flashed through her mind, that this natural disaster might be targeting the Treasure Valley.
No, to be more precise, they were coming for Mirror Valley.
She told this thought to Gu Ying, but she didn’t expect him to have the same thought.
“Bing ‘Er, no matter what, let’s first find the most suitable place to cross the other side.”
Gu Ying had already seen three footholds, but he needed to use a high-powered telescope to see more clearly.
“What should we do with this fellow? If we leave it here, it will probably starve to death.” MO Ruyue turned to look at the black panther.
Although she didn’t know how it survived the natural disaster, looking at how it gobbled up the food last night and the isolated “Island” from the top of the mountain, it was impossible to have any prey for it to hunt.
“If you want to take it away, you have to put it in your space first. Otherwise, it will never cross the steel rope.”
MO Ruyue was very clear about what Gu Ying was saying. However, it was different from bringing a pack of wolves into the space. They were already like life-and-death friends to her and Gu Ying, so they didn’t have to worry about hurting the babies.
However, the two of them had only met the black panther once, and it was wild and difficult to tame. Who knew what would happen if they were to send it into the space?
Even if the wolves would definitely risk their lives to protect the babies, she didn’t want to see any casualties among the wolves. Of course, she would avoid them as much as possible.
“Otherwise, I’ll give it another dose of anesthetic and let it sleep. When it wakes up, it’ll be on the other side.”
This wasn’t a difficult problem and MO Ruyue quickly came up with a solution.
After using the high-powered telescope to observe, Gu Ying finally chose a landing point in the southeast direction. However, if he wanted to go there, he
would have to make a detour of nearly 50 miles.
The road behind them was not smooth either, and it was very troublesome to walk.
The two of them didn’t hesitate, picked up their backpacks, and prepared to leave.
The black panther sat obediently at the side, its tail covering its front legs. It was like a huge cat looking at its master who was about to part. “Do you want to come with us? You’ll die if you stay here alone.”
MO Ruyue walked over and reached out to the black panther.
It first sniffed the air, then slowly moved closer to MO Ruyue’s hand and licked the back of it.
This was equivalent to acknowledging her status, and the next step would be much easier.
“If I want to take you to the other side, I’ll have to let you sleep first. Be good, and we’ll be able to leave this place when you wake up.”
MO Ruyue immediately took out a cotton cloth dipped in anesthetic. Although the black panther showed uneasiness and restlessness, it still trusted MO Ruyue. It just stayed where it was and did not leave.
After successfully knocking out the black panther, MO Ruyue sent it into the medium. At the same time, to prevent the giant wolves from accidentally hurting the unconscious black panther, she temporarily put it in a small compartment in the warehouse.
The dosage she used was just right, so it wouldn’t hurt the black panther’s sense of touch and other nerves. Once they reached the other side, she would let it out and immediately wake it up with the antidote.
The return journey was very peaceful and there were almost no waves. Other than spending some time, they returned to the Qin Village without any problems.
“I’m finally back. This journey was really not easy.”
MO Ruyue looked at the familiar yet strange place and didn’t bring the children out immediately.
“No matter how difficult it is, it has helped you and me to settle our thoughts.”
Gu Ying originally didn’t have a sense of belonging anywhere. Only by MO Ruyue’s side was his ultimate home, so when he spoke, his expression was very calm.
“That’s right, as long as we give the babies this thought, we can really leave.” MO Ruyue didn’t want to keep the babies in the medium anymore. Although it was indeed very safe, it wasn’t a place where they could settle down for a long time.
What they needed to do now was to leave this place and embark on a new journey.
The north, the capital, was indeed a good choice.
After MO Ruyue left the “isolated island” in the Treasure Valley, she released the black panther from the space, removed the knockout powder on it, and prepared to release it back into the forest.
They didn’t expect that the black panther would just sit beside them and refuse to leave. After being driven away by the two several times, it even followed them from a distance.
“Bing ‘Er, I think this black panther wants to follow us.”
Gu Ying turned around a few times and finally stopped.
“Why don’t we take it with us and find another place with dense forests and a lot of prey before letting it go?
“It’s not impossible, but we still have to let it get familiar with the babies and the giant wolves first.”
MO Ruyue actually had the same thought.
It was fate, after all. Although this black panther could not speak, it was extremely human.
The mountain forest here had already been destroyed to such an extent. It was likely that it was no longer a suitable habitat.
Although wild beasts had survival instincts and would probably find a new place to live on their own, it had obviously made its choice now and would follow them.
She also didn’t know why after transmigrating once, she and Gu Ying’s animal affinity was so good that it was explosive. The two black horses and the wolf pack all took the initiative to approach them, and now even this black panther was the same.
Her house wouldn’t end up as a zoo, right?
Images uncontrollably flashed through MO Ruyue’s mind.
On her left was a pack of wolves, on her right was a black panther, and behind her was a pack of chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep. There was even the cawing of peacocks.
She shook her head. If that was the case, San Bao and Tang Tang would be ecstatic, because they loved animals the most. They would wish that their home was a zoo.
“If you want to follow me, you have to follow the rules. You can’t hurt my family and friends, do you understand?”
MO Ruyue made her decision and started to discuss the conditions with the black panther in all seriousness.
The black panther also nodded seriously!
“Ying, I suspect… Did this natural disaster give the surviving animals intelligence?
She had seen such human behavior from the black wolf king before.
However, that was before the natural disaster. Could it be that she had put the giant wolves into her space and caused them to lose a chance to evolve?
“There’s only this one case now. If the same situation is discovered in the future, the possibility of this happening might be even higher.”
On the contrary, Gu Ying felt that this black panther was already very unusual even before the natural disaster..
