Chapter 448: Falling into a trap on the way down the mountain
"As far as I know, there are a total of eight on this Thousand Maple Mountain, and there are two fish that have slipped through the net, so now we have to make persistent efforts." The big brother turned around and patted Li Zhongxuan on the shoulder.
Li Zhongxuan looks like he has red lips and white teeth, and he is very beautiful, but he is a natural good hunter, and he is really powerful. The two also learned a lot of hunting skills from Li Zhongxuan, and Li Zhongxuan was willing to teach them, and they also studied diligently.
As for Fang Se, she always made a fuss when she saw the corpse of her prey at first, looking east and west, but now she has seen more in this period of time, and she has nothing to do, and she is responsible for the food of three people every day.
But the last two clouded leopards disappeared and were never to be seen again.
The words were divided into two ends, and said that Shen Qiaoan and General Cheng were about to go to the town, and when the two walked more than half and saw that it was almost dark, General Cheng pointed to the topographic map in Shen Qiaoan's hand.
"If you don't go here, this is a shortcut to the south." Joan was also tired, and nodded and headed for that way. At first, there was a path, but as they walked, it was a deserted wilderness, and the two of them walked with trepidation.
General Cheng looked for a long time, took out a night pearl from his money bag, and walked forward with the night pearl in his hand, and the two of them were shrouded in a glittering warm light.
Having missed the night, Joan didn't care, but walked leisurely, using a dagger to open the way, while looking back at the general.
"Sister Hong said that you are a big old man, but I don't think you are a good man! Thank you for this time, I will give you a few kind words next to Sister Hong, so that you can marry Qin Jin as soon as possible. Joan smiled.
"What is there to thank you for, we are friends!" General Cheng sighed, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have any honor, I was just an unknown centurion before." ”
"It's all the result of your own efforts."
The two walked and stopped, Qiao An suddenly saw two clouded leopards in front of them, these two clouded leopards snuggled together, as if two friends were chattering and talking, the so-called birds have birds and beasts have beast language, although Shen Qiaoan and General Cheng may not be able to accurately translate the language of the clouded leopards, but the two found that these two old clouded leopards were sneaky and seemed to be ready to start a hunt.
Qiao An was curious at the moment: "Old Cheng, let's go up to the tree to see what the clouded leopard is going to do." ”
"Fun, fun! Anyway, if you have nothing to do, you will look at it in vain. General Cheng jumped onto the branch and stared condescendingly into the distance.
Because they were far away from the clouded leopard, the two clouded leopards did not feel the approach of humans, General Cheng and Qiao An stared at the clouded leopards, and found that the two clouded leopards had their ears and temples grinding for a while, and they resolutely parted, and bravely went into the distance.
"Do animals have spirituality? Looking at them like this, it seems that they are desperate. Joan muttered and followed behind the clouded leopard.
The two of them had no idea what the clouded leopard was going to do, and the two clouded leopards exchanged glances as they ran towards the front, and after passing a large tree, Qiao An and General Cheng saw a wooden house with countless lanterns hanging under the beams of the wooden house.
Between the lanterns and lanterns, six pure white clouded leopard skins were hung, and when Qiao An and General Cheng saw this, they immediately understood what the clouded leopard was going to do.
"What is this?" In the night, General Cheng found that there was a Gaoshi posted in the county town on this tree, Qiao An looked at the moonlight, and said in a deep voice: "Oops, there has always been a group of clouded leopards in this left, and they have bitten twenty people to death, and the court is doing everything possible to find the whereabouts of the clouded leopards, this is the notice of Anmin." ”
"Hey!" General Cheng sneered, "Leave it to me, you can watch here, I'll come when I go." When it was too late, it was too fast, and General Cheng jumped down like lightning and disappeared into the night.
Joan could only follow behind, watching the clouded leopard approach the cabin, but at that moment a clouded leopard suddenly disappeared.
Shen Qiaoan and General Cheng were stunned, looking for them everywhere, they didn't stop, and another clouded leopard ghost cried wolf, its voice was sad, the mountains sang back, and the afterglow was long.
"Be careful, clouded leopards hurt people!" Qiao An reminded him in the back, and General Cheng picked up a wooden stick and chased after the clouded leopard, who only knew that his own kind had suffered a plot, but how could he know who had plotted against his kind.
In the moonlight, as soon as the clouded leopard saw General Cheng appear, he immediately focused all his resentment on General Cheng, and the clouded leopard roared wildly and swooped towards General Cheng.
"Beware, old man! Hit it on the left leg, it has a wound on the left leg! Qiao An observed it from the tree, she spontaneously became the general's military advisor, and when General Cheng heard this, he immediately focused on hitting the clouded leopard's left leg.
The clouded leopard was too ferocious, the action was so fast that it was dizzying, Shen Qiaoan wanted to continue to command, the clouded leopard screamed wildly, and rushed into the maple forest like lightning.
"Chase!" Qiao An and General Cheng chased after the clouded leopard, and in the moonlight, the clouded leopard seemed to be a white cloud, and it was far away.
"Can't let it get away, quick!" Shen Qiaoan and General Cheng exchanged glances, and a man chased after him.
Suddenly, the clouded leopard disappeared out of thin air, and the two looked at each other.
"Joan, you are condescending, what do you see?"
"Nope! What about you? It just disappears before your eyes, and you don't notice where it goes? Shen Qiaoan was surprised.
Suddenly, the two of them heard a signal similar to a distress call, it was a clouded leopard crying, and the brief chirping disappeared quickly, and then the mountains were silent, and only the sound of the wind blowing the leaves could be heard.
"It must be an ambush, leave it to Orion, let's go." Joan only felt comfortable, she rarely exercised so vigorously lately, and although the operation to capture the clouded leopard failed, it trained herself.
She wiped her sweat and looked at General Cheng next to her, General Cheng stared at her, feeling that Qiao An under the moonlight was like a goddess, and that kind of beauty was really upside down.
"See what?" Joan smiled in surprise, and hesitantly reached out and stroked her cheek, she thought there was something dirty on her face, but she didn't.
As they walked on, both panting and exhausted, Joan pointed to the fruit on the branch.
"What's that, Lotus Mist? A taste? The two smiled heartily and tacitly went up the tree, but as soon as they fell, they felt a softness under their feet, and Joan instinctively felt that something was wrong and hurriedly flew up.
But she saw General Cheng fall into the trap, and instinctively drove her to make a stupid decision that she regretted a lot, and she actually reached out to try to pull General Cheng's big body up.
It didn't matter if they pulled it, the weight of the two of them added together, and suddenly triggered the trap's mechanism, and with a bang, the two fell into an unfathomable hole.
There is a black rumbling in this hole, and there are some sharpened bamboo chips underneath, if it weren't for the strong martial arts of a man, he would definitely die at this moment.
"You can't find death? Why save me? Do I need you to save me? Squatting in the deep hole, General Cheng looked at the moon, and although he fell into the trap, he was very moved.
"You helped me like that on the peak mountain, how could I not save me when I died?
"Shen Qiao'an, if you have saved yourself, now I am also being pulled up by you with something, which is good." General Cheng slapped the dirt pit hard, and the dirt pit was very soft, and dust rolled down immediately after a beat.
Joan lost her eyes and coughed violently, "Don't act rashly, according to me, this is a trap to catch the clouded leopard." ”
"What is a clouded leopard?" General Cheng looked at himself.
Qiao An smiled, "We are not clouded leopards, the ancients sat in the well and watched the sky, we are frogs at the bottom of the well." Saying this, General Cheng smiled, and Qiao An also smiled.
It's really rare, in this kind of environment, the two of them can also have fun in suffering.
Shen Qiaoan suddenly remembered that two months ago, near Jiang Guo, she and Li Zhongxuan were transferred into a trap, and at that time, Li Zhongxuan wanted to save himself...... No, she can't continue to think about it, Li Zhongxuan is a murderer, no matter what he does for himself, he has an ulterior reason and purpose.
"Go up, I'll figure it out." General Cheng touched his chin and stared at the hole, this person who dug the hole was too experienced in hunting.
He seems to be familiar with the habits of cheetahs, so that where the cheetah will land has been calculated, this soil is very soft, if the general prey accidentally rolls in, it will either die or be injured, the prey does not dare to struggle casually, and if it is not good, it will be buried.
The two of them came up with a brilliant idea, jumped up at the same time, and stepped on the dirt on both sides with their feet, and the dirt would eventually get higher and higher, and when it reached a certain height, the two of them could easily fly out.
Just do it, they are not muddy people.
On the other side, the hunter heard two chirps, and knowing that the last two clouded leopards had also fallen into their trap, the two brothers were impatient to go outside and summon them.
Next to the cabin, they dug more holes, and after inspection, they found a dying clouded leopard in one of the holes.
"Brother Li, you are really clever, the cheetah really fell into this hole, it was a coincidence, and let me go down and get it up."
Orion's younger brother danced happily, "We have won a great victory, Brother Li, the county magistrate said that he would reward us with a carriage." ”
Li Zhongxuan's face was like ashes, he stared at the clouded leopard in the pit for a long time, and the expression on his face became more and more complicated.
If he is not mistaken, the ears of the dying clouded leopard just now are erected, this guy is actually listening carefully to their words, and followed Li Zhongxuan to see the clouded leopard demonstratively flashed its silver teeth, and it slowly adjusted its back into the shape of a bow, this is the hunting link
The most important part.
The two brothers were about to get close to the clouded leopard, but Li Zhongxuan sensed the danger, but even if the two of them realized the danger and wanted to come up, it was impossible, Li Zhongxuan frowned and turned back quietly.
Fang Se next to him gave Li Zhongxuan a crossbow arrow, and he took the black lacquer crossbow from her trembling hand and aimed it at the head of the clouded leopard.
The moment the eldest brother approached the clouded leopard, the clouded leopard let out a sad roar, bounced angrily, and opened its bloody mouth.
The eldest brother was already frightened and motionless, and the younger brother was also frightened, panicked by the sudden arrival of fear.
The clouded leopard's fangs glowed coldly in the moonlight, and just as the clouded leopard's mouth was about to bite down on the throat of the eldest brother, the black crossbow fired a carved arrow.
The arrow thud pierced the clouded leopard's head, and the clouded leopard let out a short chirp and lay down next to it again.
"This is a soldier who does not get tired of deceit, you should be careful in the future." Li Zhongxuan wiped the cold sweat that slipped from the bridge of his nose, and the last two clouded leopards were much more cunning than humans.
The two brothers woke up like a dream, pulled the clouded leopard out of the hole, and knelt in front of Li Zhongxuan to thank him for his kindness, but Li Zhongxuan laughed.
Next, the group searched for the carcass of a second clouded leopard.
"Brother, it was really dangerous just now, but then how did you know that the clouded leopard was going to attack someone?" Fang Se said as he patted the dust on Li Zhongxuan's body.
