Volume 1 First Advent Chapter 9 Encounter with the Golden Leopard

If Ding Qi was here, he would definitely be amazed by the saber-toothed tiger's sneak attack, beating the stuffy stick, and encircling Wei to save Zhao, where is this beast, purely a master tactician! I would also be shocked that the hearts of the ancients were so hard, and they listened to the sound of the saber-toothed tiger tearing at the flesh of their companions and remained indifferent, so it can only be said that the cruel nature created their thick nerves! Of course, the Dead Dao Friends and the Poor Dao are probably their truest thoughts now.

The next morning, the jungle quieted down after a night of hustle and bustle, and the primitive people, who had not slept in the second half of the night, took advantage of the relative safety of this time to quickly sleep for more than an hour, and then struggled to get up and dragged their tired bodies on the way forward.

On the way, a few people no longer wasted time hunting small animals, but just picked some edible fruits on the road to satisfy their stomachs, but also calmed down a long distance, and the speed of progress was a little faster than yesterday.

In addition to maintaining the necessary vigilance, Ding Qi, who was following behind, was very leisurely, unhurried, always embellished with them, and secretly picked a fruit similar to an apple that several ancient people had eaten, but the feeling of eating it in his mouth was only four words: sour and astringent. This made Ding Qi wonder if they had picked all the delicious fruits, and the rest were unripe fruits, otherwise how could they have eaten such unpalatable fruits? If those primitive people knew about it, they would definitely give him a big white eye, all of which were white-eyed: some would be good to eat!

In the afternoon, the primitive people, who had rested three times on the road, strode through the noisy jungle, and the mood was not as low as in the morning, and the marching procession was led by the leader to move quickly. Half an hour later, the leader who was moving forward suddenly stopped, listened intently, and the previous noisy birdsong and monkey cry disappeared without a trace, except for the sound of the wind blowing, there was no other sound, and it was a little strangely calm.

The visibly experienced leader's expression immediately became nervous, and he knew that a fierce beast was targeting them.

In the grass behind them, a pair of amber eyes stared at their backs, and the spotted body slowly moved forward under the cover of the surrounding weeds, and the oncoming wind blew the smell of the prey in front of them, making the golden leopard, who had been hungry all day, more and more hungry, eager to pounce on the prey and feast on it immediately. But it knew that hunting had to be patient, and that was the lesson it was learning from hunger now. Looking at these prey that are about to reach its mouth, it can't let go of any wind and grass.

At this moment, the prey in front of it suddenly gathered together, waved the club in its hand back and forth, and kept looking around and shouting, it quickly lowered its body.

The leader resorted to this method in an attempt to force out or scare off potential threats, but to no avail. Then he turned and walked quickly, the other ancient humans following closely. When the leopard saw that the prey that was about to arrive began to flee, it did not rush to catch up, but stood up and observed the direction of the other party's escape before quickly getting up, went around to the front of the group of prey, and quickly climbed to a tree in the direction of the primitive man, waiting for the prey to throw itself into the net.

In the rear, Ding Qi stood on a tree and watched it all, raising his vigilance and sympathizing with what happened to the group of ancient people.

The five stumbling men gradually approached the big tree where the leopard was hiding, and when the leader of the head passed by, the leopard lying in the tree did not move; When the third man in the middle rushed over, the leopard still did not move; Just as the last man felt that there was no danger and was about to cross the tree with the person in front of him, the leopard that had been waiting for a long time suddenly bounced up from the tree and pounced on the last primitive man who was running forward. The sharp claws popped out of the soles of the feet, like unsheathed steel knives, cutting through the unobstructed back of the primitive man, and at the same time, quickly pounced on it, and the large mouth covered with saliva bit directly into the fragile neck of the opponent, piercing the throat of the prey with its equally sharp and powerful teeth, greedily swallowing the sweet blood of the prey.

The whole process took place between the lightning and flint, and the primitives who were knocked down only had time to make a loud sound before their necks were twisted, and the last bit of strength was lost as the blood passed.

The primitive people who were walking in front suddenly turned around when they heard the movement, and after seeing their companion pressed to the ground by a leopard, they all raised their stone axes, stone hammers, and spears and rushed forward, ready to rescue the companion who was thrown to the ground by the leopard.

Seeing that the stone axe and stone hammer were about to be approached, the golden leopard lying on the ground quickly got up and jumped backwards, and after dodging the stabbing blow of the primitive man holding the spear, he kicked the ground with his hind legs, raised his body and pounced forward while his right paw slapped rapidly towards the opponent's arm.

Thorn~

Four bright red blood marks appeared on the arm of the spear-wielding primitive, and blood gushed out like pulp in an instant.

"Ahh The spear-wielding primitive screamed, wailing and clasping his arms back, the last bit of clarity in his mind letting him know that he had to dodge the leopard's attack at any moment. Fortunately, the weapons of the other three people next to him attacked and forced the leopard back. The trio screamed and tried to scare the leopard away, so they could check on the other man's injuries and see if the first companion to fall to the ground was still saved.

The golden leopard was not intimidated by their bluff, how could the prey that finally reached the mouth be easily spurned, he had been hungry for a long time, not to mention that these two-legged hairy monkeys in front of him were just hairy monkeys that could wave branches in front of him, and there was no threat at all.

Roar~

The leopard let out a deafening cry and tried to pounce on them, but it was very ferocious, and immediately frightened them away, and the leader stood in front to protect the tribesmen behind him, and the injured man slowly retreated until the leopard could no longer be seen.

Ding Qi, who was standing on the tree and observing, did not act rashly, the telescope was always on the leopard, and he saw that the leopard dragged the silent primitive man to a big tree not far away, and kept tearing the other party's body until a large piece of flesh was torn off, and blood was dripping. But for it, this is the delicacy of the mountains, and the blood stimulates its taste buds, regardless of swallowing the gourd. He looked around, licked the blood around the corner of his mouth, and swallowed again, hollowing out most of his chest in a short time.

While the leopard was eating, Ding Qi slipped down the tree, bypassed the place where the fight had just begun, and continued to follow the fleeing primitive man along the ground and on the leaves.

After running for two or three kilometers, the primitive people who escaped had to find a place near the water and stop and camp. One is that someone in the team is injured and affects the speed of travel; second, because everyone is tired and exhausted; The third is because it's about to get dark.

It was a clearing near the river, and after a long time of drilling wood for fire, the long-lost flames rose, dispelling the fear of ancient creatures and the darkness of the night, bringing light and warmth to them.
