silent farm

Chapter 14: The Forest Is Not Deep There Are Trees
Finally able to sleep late, Li Sheng woke up this day in good spirits.

When he walked out of the wooden house, he found a speechless thing.

A flock of birds landed on the ground and pecked at something.He walked over, and the flock of birds flew away from the spot and landed not far away.He took a closer look, and it turned out that he was pecking at the grass seeds he had just sown.These grass seeds have germinated and sprouted tender little roots.Those little birds scratched the ground, and the ground was still wet, so it was easy for the little birds to find the grass seeds and peck one at a time.

How could this not make him angry?Is it easy for him to sow these grass seeds?

He raised his arms and shouted, driving the birds away.However, although the flock of birds was frightened, they only flew tens of meters before falling down one after another.A flock of thousands of birds needs at least hundreds of thousands of grass seeds to feed them.Li Sheng thought to himself how much would he lose?

"Go away." He was angry, and felt an energy field spreading from his mind.The little birds were swept by Nobo, and suddenly stopped eating, and all turned their heads to look at him.Then they all flew away, until they were out of his sight.

He froze for a moment, did these birds really understand what he said, and flew away obediently?He sensed the air intently, and found that the flocks of birds began to land again tens of kilometers away.

"Fly over the river to the east!" He gave an order to the birds in his mind.As a result, he found that the group of birds stopped the tendency of landing, and flew back to the east one after another.

At last he felt that the flock of birds had indeed flown over the Mapuela River to the east before stopping.

Seeing this result, he was happy.It seems that he has some control over animals.But he had to experiment.He found a group of fish in the river and tried to control them to swim back and forth, but found that he couldn't.

Then he found a swarm of bees in the deep forest, and tried to control them to besiege an unknown monkey, but he couldn’t do the same. At the same time, he controlled the monkey to jump into a pool in the forest, but the monkey hesitated for a while and decided to jump down.

There was an anaconda in the water pool, and it rolled up the monkey.He hurriedly ordered the anaconda to let go of the monkey.But the anaconda doesn't seem to obey orders very much.He issued several orders in a row, each time becoming more severe, and the energy waves he issued became stronger each time.Finally, the anaconda swam away reluctantly.

Li Sheng doesn't understand what his abilities are.He seems to be able to control some animals, but not many. Some can be controlled, but not every time.Could it be that his control ability is not enough, or is it that he can control animals with relatively complete brains?
But for this question, he found that there was no way to find the answer.Because he tried other animals, the same result was the same.

But at least he protected the grass seed, and he was finally relieved.As long as these grasses are allowed to grow, the soil loss of this land can be controlled.

For the next time, he didn't have to turn day and night upside down.It's just that at this time he didn't even have anyone to talk to.In such an empty place, with only him alone, anyone who falls on him will feel bored and lonely.

On this day, he slept late in the morning and had breakfast after waking up.After spending a long time in a daze, I put on jeans, a washcloth jacket, and even thin gloves.He intends to go for a walk in the jungle.

He and Thomas had also been in the jungle before, but they basically trained in an area less than five kilometers away from the open space, and had never entered the depths of the jungle.

Now he doesn't have to worry about safety.Although I don't know if he can affect the surrounding animals if he walks out of the [-]-kilometer radius of the ranch.But as long as he doesn't step out of the ranch, his awareness of his surroundings should make his safety a non-issue.

He didn't plan to spend the night in the jungle either, so he didn't bring much.I only took three guns, five magazines each, a few boxes of ammunition and a lunch in my backpack, and then I drove the jeep to the edge of the jungle.

The log cabin living area is less than twenty kilometers away from the jungle.Due to the transformation of the surface during this period, the road has become very flat, and it only takes more than 20 minutes for the car to drive slowly to the edge of the jungle.

He jumped out of the car, put on his backpack, mounted his gun and walked into the jungle.

If it is an ordinary person, it is easy to get lost when entering the jungle.But Li Sheng didn't have this worry.In his territory, it is really difficult to get lost.

Although the backpack weighed more than [-] kilograms, for Li Sheng, who used to be able to run for several kilometers while carrying hundreds of kilograms of logs, he didn't even feel the weight.

He can also walk very fast in the jungle.The terrain of this jungle is very flat, and the high canopy blocks most of the sunlight. It is less than three kilometers into the jungle. There is not much grass on the ground, but there are many small trees and vines.Small trees are losers in the competition for sunlight after the big tree falls.They are still tenaciously alive, waiting for the next time a big tree falls nearby to compete for the sun again.

In the jungle, you can often see rotten wood falling on the ground-the organic matter decays very quickly in this tropical jungle.Some tall tree trunks are covered with green leaves.But he knew that those were not leaves, but vine leaves, or plants parasitic on the trunk.

The vines always climb up the trunk, and then reach the top of the canopy, where photosynthesis can take place.These vines can be bowl-thick, and it's not surprising if they grow to hundreds of meters in length.They can sometimes provide some fruit to the animals in the canopy, and they can also be used as a swing for the monkeys.

Many animals in the jungle can climb trees.Of course, there are some that cannot be done.

In this forest, raptors can only move in the tree canopy at most, and they have little choice if they want to reach below.Because the branches are too dense, there is no way to fly out after flying down.So there are many small animals on the ground, such as pine trees.Along the way, he has already found more than a dozen squirrels, the species of which he could not distinguish.Some are as big as a mouse, others are about the size of a kitten.Thomas said these things tasted good, but he didn't intend to use them to satisfy his tongue.

But for weak creatures like squirrels, the ground is the least safe.But unless they can always find food in the trees, they can only fall to the ground and eat the nuts that fall from the book.

After walking for two hours, he sensed the spatial position and knew that he did not take a detour.After the induction, he knew that he had traveled more than 20 kilometers.It's just that long-distance induction is too energy-consuming.Every induction, just one or two minutes, can make him feel his head swell.

Twenty kilometers in two hours is equivalent to the speed of jogging for ordinary people.He needs to rest first and eat something.

He found a dry place to sit under a big tree with a diameter at breast height of about two meters. He sensed the surrounding space with a radius of about 100 meters, but found no dangerous animals.There are some bugs on the tree, and there is also a squirrel.Animals such as snakes were not found.

He put away his rifle, took out the roasted meat and bread in a Ziploc bag from his bag, and ate.Although it's cold, it's not bad to have something to eat in such an environment.

He was not in a hurry, so he ate slowly.Maybe it felt that the big guys on the ground were not in any danger, so the pine tree on the tree ran down to look for nuts among the leaves.

Seeing this big squirrel with three vertical stripes on its back, Li Sheng paused while eating.He didn't want to applaud the daring of this pine tree, but suddenly found another animal lurking behind another tree.But the animal was only the size of a kitten, and it was no danger to him.With only the size of a cat, even if he eats meat, he dare not attack an animal that is obviously much larger than it.

Carnivorous animals are actually very real. If you feel that attacking a certain target is not worth the loss, you will easily give up.For example, if you meet a lion, tear off your clothes as far as possible and move forward instead of retreating. Maybe you can scare the lion away.Of course, if you meet two lions, I hope you have made a will!

Although the animal hid behind a tree, only one eye was exposed.But Li Sheng seemed to see a cat.But in this place, there must be no domestic cats.Watch it stare at the squirrel without even looking at him.

He didn't know whether he had too much affinity or he didn't have a sense of existence.As it is with squirrels, so it is with cat-like creatures.
