Chapter 18: The Strange Black Panther
Looking at the black panther who was less than a meter away from him, Snow's heart was completely cold. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Just then, Snow turned around and let out a pitched roar, while the short gun in his hand swept towards the panther on the wall with the sound of whirring wind. But the panther just raised his leg slightly, and dodged it lightly.
Snow now wants to retract his short gun and charge up his attack, but he basically has no chance. I thought the panther would pounce on it, stick its sharp claws into its chest, or open its mouth to bite off its neck. But the panther didn't mean that, just stood on the wall, and glanced at Snow with disdain.
That's right, it's a look of contempt, as if mocking Snow's inadequacy. This humanized expression appears on the face of a black panther, which looks particularly awkward and weird. Snow was stunned for a moment, he never thought that one day he would be looked down upon by a beast.
Abra and the others all sweated for Snow, and just as they wanted to step forward to help, the panther suddenly opened its mouth.
"It's over......" Snow sighed, and he could even see the panther's sharp white teeth, and the flesh of an unknown animal between the teeth. With the bite force of the black panther, Snow has absolutely no way to survive this bite. Abra even closed his eyes, but the bloody image of Snow being bitten off his neck by the panther still came to mind.
But instead of attacking Snow, the panther yawned profusely. Shaking his head, he turned and jumped out of the wall, shaking his head and disappearing into the darkness.
The panther's unusual behavior left everyone scratching their heads, but whatever he was, as long as Snow was out of danger. Abra's crowd rushed forward, looked at Snow with concern, and asked if he was hurt.
"I'm fine." Snow waved his hand palely, and the huge fluctuation of his mood for a short time made him feel like he was about to collapse. From today onwards, he can be regarded as a person who has gone through the road of life and death.
"The big guys are alright, right?" Snow used a homemade short gun to prop himself up, calming his mood for a moment, and the four advisors said.
Except for one resident who broke his foot because he was too nervous when he was fighting against the wolf, everyone else was unscathed.
In a short time, the inhabitants who were defending the other three walls gathered, and Randolph and Briss also arrived with more than twenty old men. Brissy naturally carefully examined Snow's whole body again, and only after making sure that he was not injured did she put her mind at ease.
After a brief telling, Snow understood. The other three sides of the town were only bobcated wolves and spotted men, and although there were no large beasts like the Panthers, they were much more numerous than Snow and the others.
And this time, the beasts went out of the mountains and forests in advance and attacked the town, which seemed very difficult. Listening to the descriptions of the residents defending on all sides, these beasts do not have a strong sense of attack, but only grin at the surrounding residents, and most of them are threatening. So during the battle, not a single person died in the mouth of the beast, only a few suffered some minor injuries. They killed several Piddled and Bobtailed wolves.
After hearing that the panther took the initiative to let Snow go, everyone was amazed. Many of the inhabitants began to associate Snow with the oracle again. With their ability to understand, and only the blessing of the gods, can scare the adult panther away.
After a short conversation, the residents calmed down and began to summarize the battle.
"There's something strange about these beasts today, it doesn't seem like they're attacking the town for food." One of the guards raised a common question.
"Old Orion, what do you think?" Randolph looked at Mandathan, who had left before the battle began, unaware of the Crow's Beak incident.
Mandason said with a serious face: "I think ah, this one shouldn't be finished yet......"
"Shut up." Snow and Abrass interrupted Mandasen almost at the same time, they were really afraid that Mandason's foul mouth would lead to something else.
Mandason also knew that what he said today was a good spirit that did not work badly. He shrank his head and closed his mouth.
The big guys discussed and discussed, and no one could say a reason. Looking at the puzzled crowd, Snow waved his hand to end the discussion. Let Briss take someone to bandage the wounded, but fortunately there are still some herbs in the town.
In order to prevent the beast from coming back again, Snow asked Abra to lead half of the inhabitants and temporarily form a dozen teams to patrol in turns. The panther's disdainful look as he left sent chills down Snow's heart. Who can guarantee that they won't kill again on a whim?
Humanity has been able to dominate because of wisdom and unity. But tonight, these beasts actually know how to cooperate and divide labor. If the beasts in the endless mountains and forests were united, not to mention Rook Town, even the border fortresses would not be able to stop their attacks.
Snow thought as he walked towards the room. As the inhabitants said, the beasts attacked the town, clearly premeditated and prepared, but for an unknown purpose. Those cunning and cautious wolves and embarrassments, after seeing that they were outnumbered, did not flee, but took the initiative to attack. Even if they were able to bite some of the inhabitants to death, they would never be able to survive a crowd of more than 200 men, and they would not be unaware of that.
And Snow couldn't figure out why that black panther would let himself go in the end. He wouldn't be naïve enough to think that he would have some bullshit in him, and the panther's look of contempt illustrated that.
"Maybe it's full? Or does it feel like killing me insults its identity? I'm not bad enough to do this......" Snow was puzzled.
Walking into the room, Snow thought that Arlene would come up and give him a hug, but the room was empty. Just then, Snow faintly heard voices coming from upstairs.
"Oh no, did anyone find Yalian?" Snow was nervous, and hurriedly ran upstairs. He wasn't worried about Arlene, but he was worried that if the inhabitants of Arlene were threatened or shouted, he would probably be burned to the ground by the black flames.
Once upstairs, the voice was clearer. Snow panicked even more when he heard that Arlene seemed to be arguing with someone. Three steps and two steps ran to the bedroom door, and pushed the door open, "Don't do it, Yalian, let me deal with it." ”
Yalian, who has always had sensitive senses, obviously didn't hear Snow going upstairs this time. Turning his head to look at Snow outside the door, his face was a little panicked.
Snow looked intently into the room, where Arlene stood at the wooden table in the middle of the bedroom. And on the table, there was a small green snake with a half-standing body. That's right, it's a little green snake. And it was turning its head to stare at Snow, with a hint of contempt in its eyes, just like the panther look.
"It's ...... What is the situation? Snow's head was a little short-circuited, and judging by Arlene's state, she was clearly arguing with a snake just now.
