The jaguar under the aura recovery

Chapter 101 Swimming
Tropical rainforest in summer.

The temperature is filled with dull and hot, and even every breath of air carries a scorching temperature.

Ergou was lying in the shade of the tribal camp, sticking out his tongue to dissipate heat.

The little one was digging a hole nearby, and his two industrious little paws were digging the ground. The soil was soft, and it didn't take long for it to dig out a small hole. But before the little one succeeded in digging the hole, the cave collapsed.

The cave dug with so much hard work collapsed before it was covered with heat, which dealt a great blow to the little one.

As if it had been wronged, it glanced at Ergou who was sleeping soundly with a big grin, and it precisely threw a ball of dirt into Ergou's mouth.

Afterwards, the little boy came to Gu Zheng's side with a dejected expression on his face, as if he was under pressure that he shouldn't have to bear at this age.

Gu Zheng picked up the back of the little one's neck and walked out of the tribal camp.

Like many creatures, human beings are very dependent on water sources.

It can last for several days without eating, but in this scorching temperature, there are not a few creatures who die of dehydration.

There is a stream not far from the camp of the Pi tribe. The stream is only three meters wide. The source is blocked by the lush rainforest and the direction cannot be seen.

The stream is very clear, and there are some small fishes as thick as little fingers swimming in it.

The water is not deep, Gu Zheng stood in the water, the water level can only be submerged to the level of his neck, completely submerged his body in the water, not as cool as imagined.

In this weather, the temperature of the river water is also rising.

Gu Zheng didn't take it seriously, this was normal, although he didn't completely relieve the heat, but it was much better than on the shore, the stream water wet his fur.

Holding his breath, Gu Zheng dived into the water. The water temperature below was obviously cooler. The long-lost comfort made Gu Zheng squint his eyes comfortably, and suddenly felt a little envious of those underwater creatures.

A meowing sound brought him back to his thoughts, and the little guy on the shore was very disturbed to see Gu Zheng dived into the water without any movement.

"Whoa."

Clouds of water exploded and splashed on Xiao BuDian, who was just about to avoid it, but was stopped by a ray of coolness carried by the stream.

Most cats can swim, with jaguars and tigers being the best swimmers.

Even domestic cats can swim, but many small cats today are not sensitive to water because the ancestors of most cats lived in dry and warm climates.

Black-footed cats are smaller than domestic cats. Because of their size, their fur is not waterproof, and there is no fat layer that can prevent body temperature loss, so their body temperature can easily drop in water.

At the same time, the metabolism level of cats is also low, which directly leads to the fact that small cats cannot stay in the water for too long.

Hypothermia has a fatal effect on any warm-blooded animal, which has caused some domestic cats and small cats to be reluctant to enter the water.

In fact, kittens also venture into water when hunting and escaping for their lives.

From the pupils of the boy, it can be seen that it wants to enter the water.

But the genes in its body make it respectful of water, so when it sees Dahei swimming underwater, it can lie on the bank and wait for the next stream to fall.

But Gu Zheng underwater did not do this. Black-footed cats were originally distributed in relatively dry areas in Africa, but it is difficult to survive in tropical rainforests and extreme desert arid areas.

The little one can grow so big safely, on the one hand, it is because of its own tenacious vitality, and on the other hand, it is Gu Zheng who pulled him up with shit and urine.

But no one can be with anyone all the time, he intends to exercise the little one's ability, so that it will be able to survive independently in the future.

The little one lying on the shore was suddenly enveloped by Gu Zheng's figure, and before it could react, Gu Zheng grabbed its neck.

Confusion appeared in the dark eyes.

"Going back so soon?"

But in the next second, Gu Zheng re-entered the water, and the little one he held in his mouth was startled, and his two short legs kicked wildly in the air.

Nothing works.

It made an uneasy meowing sound, but in the end, the two hind legs were slowly submerged by the stream.

The little boy was stunned, and the fear of water in his bones made him tremble a little.

Ten seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds.

1 minutes passed.

It has been in fear all the time and suddenly found that all this does not seem so unacceptable, on the contrary, the coolness of the water began to become a little more comfortable for the little one, but it was not comfortable for 2 minutes before it was thrown again by Gu Zheng on the shore.

Shaking the fur off his body, the little one walked towards the shore, lying down in front of the stream and staring at Gu Zheng.

"???"

"Just feel comfortable for 2 minutes and then die?"

Gu Zheng lay on his stomach in the stream, his exposed head was about the size of a little one.

Practicing swimming is not easy. Although the jaguar and the black-footed cat are both cats, they are two different species.

The former is the well-known king of the rainforest, and it is common to go into the water to kill crocodiles.

But black-footed cats are different. Black-footed cats distributed in Africa have long adapted to the dry and warm climate. Some black-footed cats may never have been in water in their entire lives.

Letting the little one into the water just now is just exercising its courage to overcome the inner fear. Judging from the situation, the little one is obviously quite courageous.

The scorching temperature is baking, and the moisture hidden under the little one's fur is also quickly dried.

The increase in temperature caused the little one to open his mouth, sticking out his tongue like a puppy.

After its body was completely dry, Gu Zheng held it by the back of the neck again under the expectant eyes of the little one and repeated the trick.

It's just that this time the little one didn't struggle any more, instead he narrowed his eyes comfortably.

But soon, its face changed.

Because Gu Zheng let go of his mouth, the little one fell directly into the water, his whole body was drenched by the stream, and he swam towards the shore while the dog pawed.

In the next second, a thick claw lifted it up.

The tiny body was held in Gu Zheng's hands, but the four short legs were thrashing desperately under the water.

After swimming for a while, the shore was still so far away, Xiao BuDian turned his head to stare at Gu Zheng, his fleshy Baozi's face became even more angry.

……

Ten minutes later, Xiaobudian completely overcame his fear of water. After being thrown ashore again by Gu Zheng, he waited for his fur to dry before jumping into the stream again.

Only this time, it no longer needs Gu Zheng's help, and can swim back and forth in the water by relying on its own ability.

But the fur of the black-footed cat is not waterproof, and the little one can only swim for a while underwater before going back to shore.

The second dog got out from an unknown corner, with a piece of roasted flesh and blood in its mouth, exuding a strong aroma, which immediately attracted the attention of Gu Zheng and Xiao Budian.

"The group of tribesmen baked it for you, let me bring it to you."

Ergou threw down the roasted meat and plunged into the stream. The barbecue was square, but the corners seemed to be bitten off by some creature.

Gu Zheng glanced at Ergou, lowered his head and tried to bite.

Ok?Gu Zheng's eyes brightened slightly. He was used to eating raw meat, and he occasionally tried cooked meat, and it seemed to taste good.

However, for animals, cooked meat may have fewer nutrients than raw meat.

The dagger-like sharp claws shot out, easily cutting off a piece of barbecue, and the little one immediately jumped on it and ate it with great relish.

The flesh and blood weighing more than ten kilograms was quickly divided up by the two of them.

Suddenly, Ergou, who was cooling down in the stream, let out a rapid bark.
