This time I entered Jinghu Valley, Xiao Feng and his party did not plan to return in one day, but were preparing to camp in the valley.

Therefore, after lunch, they did not rush to travel, but took out a moisture-proof cushion and chatted on the grass, basking in the warm sunshine for a nap.

After getting up, the fatigue of rushing on the road with a heavy bag in the morning was wiped out. Xiao Feng called Xiao Qiang and Xiao Dazhi, packed up their things and set off again.

Starting from the central grassland, the altitude of Jinghu Valley began to rise significantly, which can be seen from the gradually steep slopes. Vegetation in the valley is also changing. There are very few common shrubs in low-altitude areas, and tall trees are even hard to find. Grass with simple community structures form flat planting felts.

In alpine meadows with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, there will be ice and snow in winter, so it can only be used as a summer pasture, and its efficiency is far less than that of low-altitude pastures.

In Xiao Feng's plan, these high-altitude grasslands will be used as tourist areas. Jinghu Company will build corresponding accommodation and tourist facilities in this area to attract tourists.

The deeper the valley, the more groundhogs appeared in Xiao Feng's vision. From time to time, they could see their heads drilling out of the cave, which became a major feature of this meadow.

Groundhogs are just the name of the locals in Ginkgo Village. These round and cute guys are scientifically called grassland marmots, also known as Himalayan marmots, and are unique species of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

These marmots are masters of cave digging. The caves they create are well-connected and can even go deep into the ground for several meters, like underground mazes.

The fur of marmots is soft and is often used by local residents to make hats, scarves, etc. When Xiao Feng was a child, he had a small hat of marmots' fur. It was very warm and was not afraid of cold even if it snowed in winter. In addition, people in the plateau areas will also refine marmot fat to treat rheumatism and frostbite, which has good results.

However, local people rarely take extinct hunting of marmots, so this kind of slow action and the cute little guy is not at all in the meadow.

However, what Xiao Feng is not sure about is what impact will the survival of these marmots have once tourism development is carried out on the meadows?

In the development agreement signed by Jinghu Company and local governments, maintaining the biological integrity of the meadow is one of the very important projects, and grassland marmots are also one of the very important species.

On the meadow, in addition to the cute animals such as groundhogs, there are also many birds and animals that live on seeds of the Grass and Sedgeaceae family. Snow chickens and pheasants pop up from time to time.

Unfortunately, it is now late September. The white-headed geese that are thriving nearby in summer have left the Biluo Snow Mountain where the temperature is gradually declining, and go to a warmer area to spend the winter. In summer, when you come to the streams of Jinghu Valley and beside the lake, you can see thousands of white-headed geese and various large birds.

Xiao Feng learned from the old man in Ginkgo Village that Jinghu Valley is actually an animal paradise, with a large number of rare animals appearing in every season, which will also become an important element in attracting tourists in Jinghu Scenic Area.

"Brother Jiu, look!" Just as Xiao Feng was thinking about the future of Jinghu Scenic Area, Xiao Qiang shouted.

"What's wrong with you guy? He was shocked!" Xiao Feng said to Xiao Qiang angrily: "At least you will soon become the person in charge of the new project, and you will be at a stable focus in the future!"

Xiao Feng still has high hopes for his cousin. After all, many of his plans need to be managed by people, so you can't leave everything to professional managers, right? Cultivating some of his own people appropriately will also facilitate Xiao Feng to control Ginkgo Village and Jinghu Scenic Area. However, Xiao Qiang's personality is still a bit off and not very stable, and even Xiao Dazhi is not as good as Xiao.

"Uncle Jiu, you can tell by yourself!"

When Xiao Feng heard Xiao Dazhi say this to him with an uncontrollable excitement, Xiao Feng immediately knew that things must not be that simple.

When Xiao Feng followed Xiao Qiang's gesture and looked into the valley, he was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.

Several yellow sheep were running wildly on the meadow, and their jumping bodies were full of the beauty of movement. This mammal is also a common species on the meadows and a breed that hunters in Ginkgo Village like to capture.

What surprised Xiao Feng was not these yellow sheep, but the figure chasing closely behind them. Its snow-white and spotted appearance looked particularly eye-catching on the cyan and yellow meadow.

"Snow Leopard?" Seeing the scene in the distant valley, Xiao Feng's first reaction immediately emerged.

Snow leopard, a creature that is both familiar and unfamiliar to most people. What is familiar is that it often appears in news media or various animal documentaries. It is called the "King of Snow Mountains" and is a famous character among cats. It is unfamiliar because few people can see the traces of snow leopards with their own eyes, let alone the scenes of snow leopard hunting.

According to the old legend of Ginkgo Village, you could often see snow leopards decades ago. Even when food is scarce in the mountains in winter, snow leopards would enter Ginkgo Village to poach. However, with the increase in human activities in recent years, the habitat of snow leopards has been severely invaded, and the snow leopards have retreated to the depths of Biluo Snow Mountain. No one has seen snow leopards in more than ten years.

Xiao Feng did not expect that he would enter Jinghu Valley on a whim and sway, but he won the grand prize and could see the scene of snow leopard hunting.

Xiao Feng didn't care about the shocking world and reached out to take out a military high-power telescope from the space, wanting to see if this was a snow leopard or another cat animal?

Fortunately, Xiao Qiang and Xiao Dazhi were staring at the scene in the opposite valley with concentration, and could not detect Xiao Feng's small movements at all.

Through the military telescope, Xiao Feng clearly saw that it was an adult snow leopard. Its strong muscles were fully displayed when running, and he was worthy of being the king of the snow mountain.

At this moment, the snow leopard jumped several meters and pounced on a lagging sheep, bit the neck of the yellow sheep tightly, and overturned it to the ground.

The captured yellow sheep struggled desperately, but it was too late. It was unable to break free from the bloody mouth of the snow leopard. Finally, it suffocated slowly and finally could not move.

After the snow leopard grabbed the backward unlucky companion, the other yellow sheep immediately stopped running and slowly paced on the nearby meadow. They seemed to understand that danger had become a past tense.

Although many things have happened during this period, it is actually just a blink of an eye. From Xiao Qiang's discovery of the snow leopard attack to the successful hunting, it will not exceed thirty seconds at most!

"It's so wonderful!" Xiao Feng couldn't help but sigh.

To be honest, Xiao Feng likes to watch shows like Animal World and has also watched scenes of African cheetah hunting, but the TV picture is never as shocking as when I come to the scene in person.

The speed, strength and courageous momentum of the snow leopard immediately convinced Xiao Feng!

At this time, Xiao Feng had an idea in his mind, how great would it be if he could get a snow leopard as a pet?

If it were Xiao Feng, he would never dare to think about this kind of problem, but judging from the performance of big flowers, white clouds and black soil and Xiaohong, the purple bamboo space seems to be able to enhance Xiao Feng's affinity for animals and improve the IQ of animals. From this point of view, it is not technically a problem for Xiao Feng to raise wild beasts. The key to the problem now is where Xiao Feng can get the cubs of the snow leopard and obtain approval from the forestry department?

"Brother Jiu, you are too cunning!" Xiao Qiang turned his head and saw Xiao Feng holding a telescope, and hurriedly grabbed it without saying a word.

Putting a telescope, Xiao Qiang and Xiao Dazhi took turns to watch the scene where the snow leopard dragged their prey away, while Xiao Feng looked around at the surrounding environment, preparing to find a suitable place to camp.

Now, the sun in the sky has slowly fallen to the west side of Biluo Snow Mountain, otherwise the snow leopards would not have come out to hunt. If Xiao Feng and the others did not camp earlier, it would be dark.

Since Xiao Feng saw the traces of the snow leopard here, he was not in a hurry. Anyway, he would always enter the depths of Biluo Snow Mountain alone in the future, and it would be no problem to get a snow leopard cub.

In the gradually falling night, the snow leopard dragged the corpse of the yellow sheep quite quickly. It quickly disappeared into the opposite valley, perhaps its nest was among the mountains outside the valley.

Seeing the snow leopard disappear, Xiao Qiang and Xiao Dazhi reluctantly put down their glasses and followed Xiao Feng to build a tent in a flat place by the river to cook. However, even during the work process, the topic they talked about was still around the snow leopard.

After all, today I saw the scene of snow leopard hunting with my own eyes, which brought them unparalleled impact!

When night fell completely, a pile of burning bonfires appeared on the meadow, with a few hares strung above the fire, drops of grease dripping on the red charcoal fire, making a sizzling sound.

In the marching pot next to the bonfire, the fungi that Xiao Feng and his party harvested along the way today were steaming out, and the golden pheasant oil flowers rolled in the chicken soup, emitting an attractive aroma.

Perhaps because of the deep plateau, Xiao Feng, who was lying on the moisture-proof mat, felt that billions of stars seemed to be in front of his eyes, as if within reach.

Xiao Feng could no longer remember how long it had been since he had seen such a pure starry sky, and how long had he not relaxed wholeheartedly.

This time, when entering Jinghu Valley to inspect, in addition to formulating a development strategy for the future of Jinghu Ranch, Xiao Feng also hopes to enjoy it under this pollution-free sky.

Just here, eating delicious wild game and drinking beer is a great enjoyment in life!
