Chapter 94 The Guards Who Defend the Forest
Xiaoshuai flew at low altitude and led the way.
"What's going on?" Brother Nan turned to look at Li Mu beside him.
"Xiao Shuai and the others seem to have discovered pangolins." Li Mu held the yogurt and looked up at Xiao Shuai to determine the direction.
"Pangolin? It's not that common now."
"They're figuring out how to eat it."
"?"
Brother Nan's eyes widened, "Then why are you so slow! Run faster!"
After saying that, Brother Nan's speed suddenly increased.
Li Mu silently followed and accelerated.
There was a whistling wind in my ears, and the trees were retreating rapidly.
When he reached a hillside, Xiaoshuai fell down.
Li Mu and Brother Nan followed closely to the hillside.
Three little golden eagles and wolf cubs were looking at a curled up dark brown thing, tugging at it from time to time.
"Li Mu." When the wolf cubs saw Li Mu, they ran over, "How can you eat this thing? You can't bite it."
"This doesn't taste good. Can I cut the beef for you when you get back?"
"Okay." The little wolf cub thought for a while and agreed. Anyway, he couldn't chew this thing for a long time.
Li Mu touched the wolf cub and walked to the spherical scaly animals huddled together.
The kitten jumped out of Li Mu's arms, looked at this strange-looking animal curiously, stretched out a small paw, and touched it lightly.
The huddled animal immediately let out a soft scream, the sound full of fear.
"Can Mr. Yogurt bite?" said the little golden eagle on the side.
"It seems to be very scared." The kitten looked up at the little golden eagle, "Nimu wants to save it and stop eating it."
"Oh." The little golden eagle nodded obediently.
"Oh! It's really a pangolin." Brother Nan also came over and squatted down in front of the pangolin. "This thing is also pitiful. It was tricked by that old man Li Shizhen."
"yes."
Li Mu carefully observed the appearance of the pangolin and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no damage.
He stretched out his hand and gently stroked the pangolin, "Don't be afraid, it's fine."
The scales are cold and hard to the touch, and the edges are very sharp. This is its only and best way to defend itself against predators.
The huddled pangolin trembled the moment Li Mu's hand touched it, but then it felt something different.
This feeling is very warm, different from the feeling when I tried to open its body just now. This time it feels very comfortable.
Li Mu gently stroked its back to comfort the pangolin.
Gradually, the pangolin's body stopped trembling, and a gap quietly opened in the tight body, and Li Mu was reflected in a pair of small black eyes.
The pangolin looked at the creature it had never seen before, and its body felt like it wanted to get closer. Its intuition and instinct told it that this creature was worthy of its trust.
The gap gradually widened, and the pangolin's head cautiously popped out. After seeing the animals surrounding it, it retracted with a swish.
Li Mu looked up at Brother Nan.
"I understand." Brother Nan picked up the kitten and stood up, looking at the animals in a circle. "Come here first. Don't scare the pangolin."
"You go to Brother Nan first." Li Mu also said to the animals.
"I won't eat it anymore, so what are you afraid of? How timid." Xiaoshuai muttered, staring at the pangolin.
After receiving a blow from Xiaomei, he shrank his head and took a step forward to find Brother Nan.
Li Mu smiled and looked down at the pangolin, "Don't be afraid, they are all my friends and will not hurt you."
The pangolin slowly stretched out its head and felt relieved when it saw that the animals that were surrounding it just now moved aside.
Kaka——
The pangolin fully expanded its body, and its scales made a sound like armor.
"Thank you." The pangolin raised its upper body upright and put its small head against Li Mu's body to smell it. It liked the scent of Li Mu's body and made it very comfortable.
"You're welcome, those were my friends just now. They were playing here and dug your cave accidentally."
Li Mu gently touched the pangolin. Its head also had tiny scales and felt slippery.
Brother Nan was squatting on the ground in the distance, using a piece of wild grass as a cat-teasing stick in his hand, playing with the yogurt and the little wolf cub, but his neck was stretched out, and he kept looking at Li Mu. Seeing that the pangolin's mood had stabilized, Brother Nan handed the weeds to Xiaoshuai, "Do you want to play with it?"
Xiaoshuai, who had been watching from the side, felt itchy. When he saw this, he immediately picked up the weeds in his mouth and shook his head to entertain the cubs.
Brother Nan grinned, clapped his hands, stood up and walked towards Li Mu.
When the pangolin saw Brother Nan coming, he hid behind Li Mu.
"Is this the pangolin in Calabash Baby that crawls into the mountains and releases snake and scorpion spirits?" Brother Nan came over and looked at the pangolin curiously.
"."
Li Mu pretended not to hear, took out his phone and turned on the live broadcast.
The population of pangolins is small, so this is a great opportunity for popularity.
【First! 】
[Good afternoon anchor! 】
[The anchor is slacking off. I get up at six o'clock every morning and wait to patrol the forest with you online, but you sleep in, right? 】
[We promised to grow old together, but you secretly baked the oil, and there is no love anymore (heartbroken)]
Li Mu looked at the barrage with a black line, and quickly explained, "I got up at six o'clock, but the city sent supplies in the morning, which delayed my time."
[Ah, yes, yes, I believe it, what about you? 】
[Anyway, my dog is shaking his head. 】
Seeing that Li Mu couldn't explain, he directly switched the camera to the rear camera and pointed it at the pangolin.
[Hiss, Godzilla? 】
[It seems that my identity as Ultraman can no longer be hidden. 】
【Gaia! 】
[Hello Gaia, Guardian of the Earth, I am your senior Tiga. 】
[Did anyone notice that today’s live broadcast was very clear? Isn’t the anchor using AI while lying on the bed? 】
[Yes, the background is too fake. 】
【What Godzilla? Isn't this a pangolin? 】
[Look, there is an honest man upstairs. 】
"."
Brother Nan is right, this is a group of shady netizens.
"That netizen is right, this is a pangolin." Li Mu forcibly pulled the netizen into the topic.
[Wow, a living pangolin! The pangolins in our mountains are all extinct. 】
[We used to have them here, but they are gone now. Many old wooden houses have been corroded and collapsed by termites (sigh)]
[Is the pangolin now a protected animal? I remember when I was a kid, you could still buy wild game at the market. 】
"Pangolins are a national first-level protected animal, and their number is even rarer than that of giant pandas."
[Another species less common than the giant panda? 】
[Pangolins, which have lived on the earth for tens of millions of years, were almost eaten to extinction. It is really sad. 】
Seeing that netizens were paying attention to pangolins, Li Mu took the opportunity to popularize science:
"As a netizen just said, after they lost pangolins, many old wooden houses were corroded and collapsed by termites. This is because the main food of pangolins is termites."
"Its stomach can hold almost 500 grams of termites. It can be said that as long as there is one adult pangolin in 250 acres of forest, termites will not cause harm to the forest. This is why pangolins are called forest guardians."
[Can one pangolin protect 250 acres of forest? (shock)】
[Oh my god, a tiny pangolin is so powerful! 】
Netizens were shocked.
"It's a pity." Li Mu looked at the pangolin at his feet and his tone became lowered. Because of the so-called medicinal value of pangolin's armor and some people's curiosity and eating game, the number of pangolins has decreased sharply. "
"Pangolins are very close to extinction in the wild."
