"There is a situation, everyone be careful!"

Seeing the abnormal behavior of Jumping, Bau suddenly stood up from the spot and warned everyone.

The other people at the scene couldn't help but stand up, and the body and mind that had just been relieved were tensed again.

Bau pressed his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then, bowing his head, he walked around the place where everyone had just been sitting.

As his hands continued to pull away from the grass in front of him, Bau lowered his head to the ground again and again, a huge head hanging with difficulty from its thin erect neck, the wings of the nose on either side of the nostrils slowly opening and slowly returning to their original positions, his movements seemed to use his nose to distinguish a certain smell in the grass.

Every time Bau bows his huge head to the ground, he conjures up a picture of a small branch bearing a large melon, which is so heavy that it bends the branch into a bow and almost breaks.

When Bau walked over to an unknown bush, he stopped. I saw him kneeling on one knee and leaning down, his sucking nose almost touching the ground. Bau sniffed the bush carefully, then stretched out his right hand to wipe the damp blades of grass under the bush, then raised his right hand to his face and sniffed his fingers carefully.

"My lord, we have strayed into the sphere of influence of some kind of large beast." After smelling the smell on his hands, Bau stood up, walked in front of Luo Shiyin, and said with confidence.

"Can you be sure what kind of beast it is?" Luo Shiyin asked.

"It's hard to say, Tiger...... Leopard...... It's all possible. Bau said.

"Then how do you know that we have strayed into their zone of influence?" The abbot asked Bau puzzled.

"Generally speaking, beasts such as tigers and leopards, they often use their own urine to demarcate their sphere of influence, and when other beasts smell this kind of urine, they immediately know that they belong here, and they usually leave in amusement as long as they are not forced to come here to hunt for food. I smelled this urine under the bushes just now, so I'm sure we're in trouble. Bau said.

"Looks like we're going to have to take a detour." Shi Lang listened to Bau's words and couldn't help but muttered to himself.

"But there's no other way to go in this canyon." Ye Ruliu said.

Everyone was speechless for a while, and they couldn't help but look at Luo Shiyin, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Abbot, if we go back, is there any other way to the Middle Dao Peak?" Luo Shiyin pondered for a while and asked the abbot of Hueneng.

"There is a mountain road that leads directly to the Longshan granary on the middle peak, but that road is flat and open, which is not conducive to our concealed march. More importantly, the road was opened by the Japanese people to facilitate the transportation of grain between the Longshan granary and Wangjing City, and there were mobile patrols of the Japanese army along the way. I don't recommend going that route. The abbot replied.

As everyone discussed their next steps, Hop, who had been following Bau, began to become more agitated, and he kept jumping around, as if looking for a place to hide.

"Oh no, the beast is not far from us!" Bau was also shocked by the jump.

"His grandmother's! What the hell? Scared the monkey brothers so much. I'm not afraid of you, I have the ability to come out and eat me. Shi Tianji held his hands in his hands and scolded loudly at the deep dense forest around him.

"My lord, why don't you let everyone hide in the trees and observe for a while?" Bau suggested to Luo Shiyin.

“…… All right. Everyone goes up the tree. Luo Shiyin pondered for a while, and couldn't think of a better countermeasure for a while, so he had to take Bau's suggestion.

Everyone didn't dare to slack off, so they all took their bodies lightly, went up to the trees, and hid their bodies between the branches.

Through the gaps between the branches, you can vaguely see that the warm sun has set in the west, and in the clear sky directly above, a few cotton-like white clouds slowly drift towards the northeast with the gentle southwest monsoon. Below the white clouds, a flock of gray birds and sparrows happily flew towards the lofty mountains in the northern part of Longshan.

There was silence in the dense forest. The squad members hiding in the trees seemed to be able to hear their own heartbeats.

With a soft click, a small gray squirrel jumped from a tall cloud pine tree to the dead leaves under the tree, and then, without hesitation, clinging to the ground, quickly fled without a trace.

"Brushing, brushing......"

Less than half a minute after the little squirrel escaped, there was a slow-paced footstep in the dense forest southeast of where the team members were hiding.

Footsteps approached instantly. Everyone followed the prestige, only to see that a slender leopard had entered the woodland under everyone's feet.

This is an adult female leopard with several rows of oblique white whiskers above the corners of her mouth, small black spots on her forehead, cheeks and eyes, bright color of her slender body hair, a prominent white spot on the back of her black ears, and an apricot-yellow body with dense oval-shaped plum blossom-like spots on her back, which contrasts sharply with the dense black spots all over her body.

The leopard didn't seem to notice the anomaly hiding above its body, but it walked slowly and seemed to have some difficulty walking.

The team members held their breath for fear of being spotted by the beasts under the trees.

Bau held the trunk of the tree in one hand and gently stroked the neck of the jumping beside him with the other to soothe the frightened jumper.

Jumping Jump had quieted down at this time, and his eyes were fixed on the leopard under the tree, as if he was ready to deal with danger.

Everyone hoped that the leopard would get out of the place as soon as possible, because everyone understood that hiding in the trees would not help the leopard, who was good at climbing.

It backfired, and just when everyone was secretly praying that the leopard should go away quickly, the leopard actually lay down on the woodland under everyone's feet.

Only then did they discover that it was an injured leopard with an obvious bite on its left back thigh. Bunny Fly

The leopard leaned down and turned back to lick his bleeding wound until it no longer oozes blood.

It seems that this leopard has just experienced a battle elsewhere. Being able to bite an adult leopard, it seems that it has encountered extraordinary opponents.

The leopard under the tree should be tired, and after licking the wound, he actually squinted his eyes in place and took a nap.

The team members in the tree had to be patient and wait for the leopard to wake up and leave quickly.

As the minutes ticked by, the leopard seemed to be enjoying the moment, and had been lying there quietly, with no intention of leaving.

Everyone's hearts began to get anxious. If you wait like this, once it gets dark, even if the leopard is lucky enough to not notice the people in the tree and leave this place, it will be very difficult to walk in the dimly lit wild forest, and it may also add some uncertain risk factors.

How can you get this injured leopard away?

While everyone was thinking about how to meditate, a new situation appeared on the scene. Behind the big tree behind the leopard, a huge brown bear was slowly poking its head out.

The leopard didn't seem to notice the danger behind him, and still closed his eyes and recuperated.

The brown bear moved from behind the tree, jerked its two front legs, and pounced on the leopard.

Just when everyone thought that the leopard was in danger, the leopard rolled on the spot at the moment when the brown bear's two sharp claws were about to grab him, dodging the fatal blow.

The brown bear seemed to be furious when it missed, and it let out a roar with its feet off the ground, and then pounced on the leopard again.

Once again, the leopard deftly dodged the blow and flew up the tree behind it.

When the brown bear saw that the leopard had climbed to the branch, he clinged to the trunk and wanted to climb the tree.

The slippery moss of the trees stopped the brown bear from moving upward, and after several attempts, it failed to lift its bulky body off the ground. The brown bear was not reconciled, and it swung its two powerful forepaws, slammed the trunk again and again, and roared at the prey in the tree.

The leopard lay nervously on a thick branch, clinging to the branch beneath it with all its limbs, lest it be shaken violently and thrown off the tree.

After such a stalemate for a while, the brown bear saw that it was difficult to help, so he had to stop, lowered his head and gasped for breath.

The leopard in the tree saw the opportunity, adjusted its body on the tree, and jumped to another nearby tree.

The brown bear seems to be wheezing alone, completely oblivious to the leopard's movements. The leopard took this opportunity to jump over several large trees one after another and successfully escaped from the brown bear's field of vision.

By the time the brown bear breathed steadily and looked up again, there was no prey in the trees.

The brown bear wandered a few steps in place, unwilling to do so, swaying its huge body and looking up at the trees, hoping to rediscover the leopard.

The search for the brown bear made the team members in the trees extremely nervous.

In the end, the scene that everyone didn't want to see happened the most. The brown bear spotted Bau and Hop hiding in the trees.

Seeing that he had been discovered, Hop Hop clung to the tree in horror and screamed demonstratively at the brown bear under the tree.

The hissing of Hopping further angered the brown bear, who had just failed to hunt, and saw it stand up, let out a roar of rage in the sky, and then, with all its strength, pounced on the big tree where Bau and Hop were.

I only heard a crisp "click", and the big tree was actually broken by a brown bear.

Bau and Hop fell from the tree at the same time.

Before Bau could get up from the ground, the brown bear had already chased after him and struck him on the head with his palm. Bau didn't dare to slack off, and rolled under the fallen tree trunk. The giant palm of the brown bear struck the trunk of the tree lying horizontally, breaking it in two and collapsing to the ground. Bau didn't have time to dodge, and his body was crushed by the thick trunk.

Seeing that Bao Wu was trapped, the other team members on the tree jumped down from the tree where they were, waved their weapons, and killed the brown bear that was approaching Bao Wu.

The sudden slaughter did not startle the brown bear, and it hurried a few steps to the front of Bau, who was crushed by the trunk of the tree.

Bau tried to push away the trunk of the tree that was pressing on him, but the tree was too heavy to push at all.

Bau could already clearly smell the hot and humid breath coming out of the brown bear's mouth.

Hopping anxiously screams loudly around the brown bear, as if trying to distract the brown bear and buy time for Bau.

The brown bear was completely unmoved, only to see it open its bloody mouth and bite at Bau's head.

At this moment, only a "whoosh" sound was heard, and a sharp arrow flew through the woods.

Before everyone could react, the brown bear let out a wail and fell to the ground in pain, struggling desperately. Just above its nose, the whistling arrow had pierced the brown bear's brow bone and plunged into its brain.
