Interstellar Gardener Life

Chapter 410 Division of Troops ——————————————————

Dongming took off his coat to Jiang Ling, because unlike him, Jiang Ling was still afraid of the cold.

Then Dongming used the invisible spray in the wild, took off a few young leaves, rubbed the juice to smear himself, and then he approached the great horned rhinos carefully from the top of the tall tree, along the downwind vent, and climbed the vines And down, hanging upside down, took a big lump of mud from the swamp that these big guys love.

This behavior is actually not dangerous, the premise is that he is as agile and light as Dongming, and his actions are decisive and silent.Because the great horned rhino’s vision is about zero, but their sense of smell and hearing are very good, so as long as they don’t make noise or smell, they won’t know.

Jiang Ling squatted on the tree, gently pushed aside the leaves to watch Dongming work, and couldn't help laughing: Taishan Dongming, Dongming Taishan... Of course Dongming is smarter than that foolish fool Taishan too much!

In the blink of an eye, Dongming came back.He asked Jiang Ling to unfold his training uniform, and then put on a breathing plug—this little thing was in the protective belt—then he slapped Jiang Ling hard from head to toe.

When the work was completed, Jiang Ling became a clay figurine, unable to open her mouth, only showing a pair of black and white eyes, blinking at Dongming.

Fortunately, their clothes usually look plain and simple, inconspicuous at all. When they are in use, the neckline, cuffs, etc. can be unfolded, extended, and sealed. The back of the head and throat are well protected, so Jiang Ling has no problem keeping warm. At best That is, both hands and face are in contact with mud.

Only these two places were left because of the consideration of the jungle environment.After all, if it is fully protected, then the sense of touch of the skin will not be able to play a role, which is very unfavorable for judging the wind direction and distinguishing materials.

In fact, as far as Dongming knows, it’s best to wear less clothes when living in the jungle. The sense of touch is very important—if there is a guy who ambushes well, or hides it from your ears, and successfully attacks you , then the bare skin on the back, on the shoulders, on the arms will warn you, and a trained person can avoid it.

But the cold was a big problem for Jiang Ling, so keeping warm was given top priority.

……

After Dongming finished his work, he looked at Jiang Ling, was happy, wiped off the mud on his hands, and took time out of his busy schedule to take a picture of Jiang Ling, and at the same time quickly told: "I will put you down later. Don't be nervous, There's nothing to hang out with them except they smell a little. They'll hang out with elk, wild boar, whatever, and they'll make you a partner. If they like you, you can ride them, but be careful— - They have poor eyesight, are easily frightened, and often rush up suddenly, very fast, and savagely bump into things."

Jiang Ling was talking in a muffled voice now, so she pointed at Dongming, pointed at the big horned rhinoceros, and tilted her head: What about you?
Dongming said softly: "I want to go around them, continue on the road just now, get into the water, and go downstream. There is a waterfall downstream, so I can get rid of those wolves."

He is right.If both of them got into the group of great horned rhinos, although they could get temporary protection, they couldn't get rid of the maned wolf's pursuit.Those wolves were extremely stubborn in their revenge. They would guard the rhino group and stare at the two of them for more than ten days or even months until they found an opportunity to kill them.

So Dongming took Jiang Ling's clothes and walked along the path before they climbed the tree, getting out of the way of the big horned rhinos, and escaping from the other direction, luring and throwing away the wolves.

As for the stealth spray, it is still useful for cubs, but not for adult wolves—they are one of the animals with the sharpest sense of smell in the "playground", and they are alert and ferocious.

However, although the maned wolves have a keen sense of smell, they can jump high and fast, but they can't climb trees!
And the wind in the jungle blows away the smells, but also carries that information for short trips.Therefore, if the long-maned wolf is lucky, it can smell who is coming and going at a height of 30 to [-] meters above the ground, but it cannot smell what is happening on the treetops.

……

After all, Jiang Ling inherited so many memories, and she understood it as soon as she heard it, so Jiang Ling complained.

Dongming was funny, but also a little bit reluctant: "See you in Monkey Valley."

Jiang Ling pursed her lips and nodded helplessly; then she signaled Dongming not to move, leaned over and kissed Dongming: "Good luck."

Dongming was surprised, but he didn't hide, and accepted it with a frown.

The two swung the vines and changed hands a few times, approaching the periphery of the great-horned rhino group, and then slid down to approach the group.

Below them is an adult female rhino with a calf.

Dongming saw that the head rhinoceros was walking far away, twisted his legs around the vine, hung upside down, and slid down. Taking a chance, he released Jiang Ling lightly, and left Jiang Ling on the right side of the female rhinoceros—the landing should be light, the lighter the better, Jiang Ling It's actually not too heavy for Ling to jump by himself, but it's still not as good as Dongming's shot.Of course, it would be even better if Master Yi Lin who knocked Jiang Ling back with a Suoyun egg came.

This is difficult behavior.In the past, it belonged to the repertoire of the National Acrobatic Troupe.But it's not for good gymnasts, it's just one of many training moves.

Jiang Ling landed safely, and Dongming was about to call it a day when the half-year-old great-horned rhino next to him just turned over and rubbed against Jiang Ling.

Dongming stopped moving, stared at the little guy, and was about to signal Jiang Ling to take off—if the situation was not good, he had to pull Jiang Ling up and put it in another place.

The half-year-old great-horned rhino turned to look at Jiang Ling, sniffed it, and moved away a little dissatisfied. Intentionally or not, the hind hooves stepped a little harder, adding a little bit of mud to the "clay figurine-Jiang Ling" .

Dongming smiled and waved goodbye to Jiang Ling slightly.

Jiang Ling looked up at Dongming, and waved her hand slightly, feeling unhappy. She wondered if she should ask this great horned rhino to give her a hug... Forget it, if there is a delay, it will be very difficult for Dongming's second half of the plan. unfavorable!
She was not reconciled there, Dongming thought she was uneasy, and his heart softened, he clasped the old vine with his hook claws, risked slipping down more than four feet, and touched Jiang Ling's head to comfort him; slap her in the face.

Jiang Ling took the opportunity to rub Dongming's hand.Rub hard.

She rarely does!
So Dongming almost jumped down for a moment, but he finally controlled the impulse, silently said "See you", and climbed up, leaving from the treetop.

With the mud marks on his face.

And Jiang Ling watched Dongming leave, and squatted next to the half-year-old great horned rhino with a dark face: this place will not be stepped on by adult great horned rhinos.She hid herself well, and just sulked there—she was clearly capable of protecting the two of them, but she couldn't say it, and could only watch Dongming take risks... This feeling is terrible!

*********
Zhou Xinguang looked at the recorder from time to time while rowing the canoe away from the lake shore.

Almost 10 minutes later, there was no news from the recorder.

But no news is good news, at least it means that Jiang Ling, Dongming, and Tang Ni are still in the "playground".

So Zhou Xinguang comforted himself, calmed down his emotions, and began to ponder the data in the recorder, and study which way he should go.

Then out of the corner of Zhou Xinguang's eyes, he caught a glimpse of a rare sight: on the rippling lake in the front left, large clusters of bubbles floated to the surface, forming into patches.

"Wow, so many clams?"

This surprised Zhou Xinguang: maybe he can continue his training?
But if Dongming were here, he wouldn't think so—obviously, the green clam would never spit bubbles when it wasn't disturbed!
Fortunately, at the end of winter and the beginning of spring, the temperature had not yet risen, there were not many algae microorganisms in the water, and the lake was crystal clear, so in the next moment, Zhou Xinguang saw fusiform black shadows in the water under the boat, a large group!

He was terrified, and didn't dare to use his mental strength to investigate, for fear of disturbing those big guys, he hurriedly paddled lightly, trying to slip away as soon as possible.

But a black shadow has already chased towards the canoe!
Followed by two more...
