Chapter 46: The Blade of the Wind

3/30 At present, there is 3 points of aura in the Gathering Spirit Tower, and the next day, while Xia has not woken up, Stern entered the creation of the god space to see if there is an increase in aura, and this space has become his own one-third of an acre. Then they had a long day of traveling, and they finally arrived at the natural cave where they had lived before the sun set, and they slept in the cave that night, a little more peacefully than the day before.

On the third day, Stern led the men and beasts to the valley, and the small lake in the valley was as bright as a mirror, and the spring breeze blew on the blue surface of the lake, causing slight ripples, and they had no time to pay attention to this beautiful environment and went straight to the east.

Soon they came to the canyon where they had seen the track of the wind leopard before, Stern led the way in front, the two of them and the three beasts walked towards the canyon, Stern walked to the edge of a big tree and stopped, this big tree was full of scratches, at first glance it was scratched by the sharp claws of the wind leopard, there was still a faint smell of blood around the tree, and there were many mutilated animal limbs on the ground, the wind leopard should often eat near here, but now they didn't find any trace of it, maybe it was hunting somewhere, maybe it was secretly observing their group of uninvited guests who broke into the territory in a corner。

Stern looked at the surrounding tracks, and could tell that the Wind Leopard often came here, and often used the tree as a shelter, and now it seemed that if you found a hidden place here, you would be able to wait for it to come.

Stern looked around at the sparse bushes around him, and there was no good place to hide the five of them, but he found a high ground on the north side of the canyon, and when he looked down from the height, he could just see the whole scene around the big tree, "Thea go, let's go to the high ground over there and wait first, it is more hidden and not easy to find" Stern raised his hand and pointed to the high ground and said to Thea.

"Okay, Uncle Andy," Shia replied.

They waited quietly on the high ground, and soon it was noon, and there was still no shadow of the Wind Leopard, and after eating some dry food casually, they continued to wait patiently. The waiting time was always long, and seeing that the sun was about to set, a ghostly figure came to the mouth of the canyon when the two thought that the wind leopard would not appear again, and its movements were light and agile.

It looked down at the ground with its nose and walked in the direction of the tree, when suddenly it stopped less than three feet away from the tree, as if it had found something, and looked around vigilantly, where Stern and the others had stood, where the Wind Leopard probably smelled them, and when it saw that everything was going on around it, it quickly ran under the tree, and swooped down to the tree.

"Thea, see, it's already up the tree," Stern reminded Thea in a low voice. "Yes, I saw it, a black shadow like a ghost," Shia didn't know whether she was nervous or excited, and her voice trembled. "Okay, let's be careful to sneak over, try to be as light as possible, and don't make a sound," Stern said and left the Highlands, followed by Thea.

They were getting closer and closer to the tree, and then the wind leopard seemed to sense something, and stood up on its stomach, and then climbed down from the tree, walked in the direction of Stern and them, and saw Stern and his group, "Roar..." It roared loudly, and bared its sharp teeth, warning Stern not to approach.

In fact, Stern was ready to be discovered, and since he was discovered, he didn't care so much, he took out his tomahawk and quickly rushed towards the wind leopard. Seeing Stern rushing over, the wind leopard immediately roared and waved his right paw at Stern at a very fast speed, 'Hiss~' In the case of defenselessness, Stern's clothes were torn open, and the blood was immediately left, and it was a magical beast that knew skills, and Stern was fortunate that it was not too close, otherwise he would have been seriously injured.

At this time, Ash, Avanti, and Dumbia all rushed up and surrounded the Wind Leopard, which roared with its mouth open, and as long as anyone rushed forward, it would fight back at great speed, and its body was like a ghost. However, Stern keenly felt that the Wind Leopard was a little weakened in front of so many enemies, and it seemed that it was looking for an opportunity to escape, and now that it was still a little bright, it could not break out, and it would be easy to escape once it was completely dark.

Stern thought to himself that he couldn't stalemate any longer and had to fight quickly, "Avanti, where is your air cannon", under Stern's reminder, Avanti began to inhale, Stern saw that Avanti was ready, he lifted the axe and quickly slashed towards the Wind Leopard, he wanted to divert the Wind Leopard's attention, so that Avanti could start.

When Stern was about to slash the Wind Leopard, it quickly dodged, turned its attention to Stern's side, and at the same time quickly sent a shadowless invisible wind blade to Stern, and after being on guard, Stern easily dodged the attack of the wind blade. By this time, Avanti had already fired an air cannon at the Wind Leopard.

Seeing this, Stern quickly rushed forward to press the head of the Wind Leopard, and at the same time quickly issued an order to the others, "Avanti press its front feet, Dumb hold down its back feet, and Xiao Ash will be pressed on it."

The Wind Leopard was stunned by the air cannon blow, and before he could react, he was firmly pressed to the ground and could not move. "Xia, come and hold down" Stern motioned for him to hold down the head of the Wind Leopard, and then he was able to take out the dagger from the spatial ring with one free hand, cut a hole in Shia's arm, pinch the dagger with his thumb and forefinger, and wipe the blood from Shia's wound with the other three fingers, and then stabbed the Dagger with a 'poof' and smeared Xia's blood on the Wind Leopard's life.

The Wind Leopard began to tremble and struggle violently, and Stern told everyone to quickly retreat and stay away, at this time Thea's face was flushed, and her chest rose and fell rapidly, and she was excited at first glance. They watched as the Wind Leopard struggled on the ground for more than ten minutes before it stopped moving and fainted, and now they were waiting for it to wake up, and the contract seemed to be going smoothly this time, and there would be no surprises in general.

The strength of the Wind Leopard was so great that holding it down for a minute or two almost exhausted Stern, but he persevered to the end. The two of them and the three beasts sat on one side to rest, and at this time it was completely dark, and Stern carried a few gelatinized candles with him, and he lit one with flint and placed it on the ground, and the firelight slightly illuminated the space around a few feet.

Xia quietly looked at the wind leopard lying on the ground, he felt thousands of ants crawling in his heart at this time, itchy, and he wished that the wind leopard would wake up immediately.
