Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Ghost Panther
Tearing off the gossip mixed yuan robe on his body, revealing the black warrior robe inside, the sturdy figure held the robe tightly, under the stimulation of danger, Xiao Yi's fierce momentum was completely stimulated, and the original cute little Taoist image immediately disappeared, at this time he was more like a wild beast than a leopard, and the two confronted each other like this.
When he came closer, Xiao Yi had the opportunity to take a closer look at this strange leopard, it was indeed a barren mountain alien species, the body size was more than twice as large as an ordinary leopard, the iron claws and steel teeth on the body, vicious and ferocious, the two fangs in the big mouth of the blood basin were extremely sharp, saliva was dripping down, and a pair of eyes were strangely ghostly white, especially the golden fur looked very weird, and the copper coin-like pattern on the ordinary leopard was completely different. The black patterns on the xenomorph's body turned out to be like a terrifying and distorted human face, yes, it was a human face, there were desperate screams, there were sad crying, there were ...... hearts like ashes, and almost all kinds of negative expressions of human beings could be found in these patterns, such a strange scene was daunting.
"Shhh …… Panther! It turned out to be the legendary ghost panther! Looking at the face patterns on the leopard's body, Xiao Yi seemed to remember something terrifying, and couldn't help but gasp.
In the past, when I was in the small Taoist temple, I often chatted with the master 'out of the dust', and the old Taoist traveled all his life to the north and south and was extremely knowledgeable, and he had talked about the rare and exotic beasts in the world, including this ghost leopard, at that time, Xiao Yi listened to it as a mythical story, and never took it seriously, but he didn't expect this kind of fierce beast in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" to really appear in the world.
The so-called ghost leopard is not a natural alien species, but after a strange change the day after tomorrow, and it has a lot to do with human beings.
In ancient Chinese cultural thought, the emphasis is on 'death is like life', that is, everything you have in life will be brought to the underground world to continue to enjoy after death, including your favorite gold, silver, jewelry, precious books, and even people; Therefore, since the time of Xia and Shang, the princes and nobles have a system of martyrdom with slaves, and some powerful kings will even let those concubines in the harem, as well as the eunuchs, palace laves, and even craftsmen who build mausoleums around them be buried collectively, ranging from hundreds to thousands, or even more than 10,000!
The most representative is the Lishan Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages mobilized a full 700,000 laborers to build his own mausoleum, and then for him to accompany the burial of countless people, when the overlord of Western Chu Xiang Yu soldiers entered the customs, he had mobilized a large army to excavate the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, although the excavation was only some of the auxiliary halls of the burial, but there were also a lot of white bones, the number of as many as 10,000 bodies, the tragedy of the burial can be seen from this.
In the Han Dynasty, although the slavery system had long been abolished, the practice of noble officials being buried with their own private slaves after their deaths did not stop, and the tombs were often full of dead bodies, which was unspeakably miserable; Because of its excellent feng shui and deep soil, this Beibi Mountain has become the first choice for princes and nobles to build mausoleums, and there are countless tombs in the deep mountains.
The leopard in the beast is the best at drilling mountains, digging holes, occasionally pregnant female leopards in the mountains from the cracks into the grave, and in the burial pit of the cemetery to give birth to cubs, and so the cubs grow up a little, both to feed on the corpses of the martyrs, these leopards who grow up by eating the flesh of dead people are not only stimulated by the huge size, infinite strength, and extremely ferocious temperament, the whole body is full of death, and when the dead corpses are eaten, a litter of cubs will kill each other, devour, and the last winning one will drill out of the grave, Become the overlord of the mountains - the panther!
Because this leopard is drilled out of the grave and has a dead body, it is believed to be able to communicate with the underworld, coupled with its ferocious aura and fast movements like a ghost, so the world calls it the ghost leopard!
Because it grew up in a dark tomb, the eyes of the panther are strangely white, and according to legend, the souls of those tragic martyrs will be attached to the body of the panther, forming a pattern that resembles a human face, and the pattern of despair, crying, and screaming is the true face of the mortifier before death, so the more the burial of the cemetery, the more fierce the leopard is, and the leopard also develops a habit that loves to eat human flesh!
A pattern is the soul of a martyr, looking at the leopard in front of him covered with lines, Xiao Yi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, obediently! How many human flesh do you have to eat to raise such a big leopard? If you are not careful, today's 'Hero Saves Beauty' may become an 'outlaw mandarin duck'......
At this time, the annoyed and angry leopard was ready to attack, its body as soft as a poisonous snake was close to the ground, its thick forelimbs made a posture of attacking at any time, its sharp claws had stretched out from the leather cushion, its hind limbs firmly grasped the ground, and its two fierce eyes were staring at the prey in front of it, and with the intuition of the beast, it felt that the creature in front of it did not seem to be easy to mess with.
A person and a leopard looked at each other like this, the dark eyes and the vicious beast eyes were looking for the Achilles' heel in each other, Xiao Yi at this time was like the oldest ancestor of mankind, in the vast desolate world, bare-handed, hand-held beasts, nature is so ruthless, the strong live, the weak die, see who is the most ferocious beast!
With a wild roar, under the strong momentum condensation, the pit leopard finally launched the attack first, its front paws raised and pounced, its bloody mouth opened, and a gust of fishy wind was raised, and its sharp fangs bit towards Xiao Yi's throat, and the speed was extremely fast; In the face of a ferocious attack, the simplest and most correct way for Xiao Yi at this time is to dodge sideways, avoid its edge, and then attack the side weakness of the leopard, but behind him is the girl he has loved all his life, for the love that he once had no regrets, for the promise to her back then, he will never take half a step back!
Between the lightning and thunder, the leopard has pounced in front of him, Xiao Yi's decisive body leaned back, his waist bent down like a noodle, and at the same time, his right foot kicked upwards violently, the target was the soft belly of the leopard, tigers and leopards and other beasts are all copperhead, iron tail, tofu waist, although the leopard belongs to a different species, but the waist and abdomen position is still its key point.
If the most powerful of the beasts is the lion tiger, the most ferocious is the jackal, then the most flexible is the leopard, the leopard is in mid-air, the huge body is flexible flashing, avoiding the vital soft belly, at the same time the claws continue to stab downward, the evil wind is blowing, Xiao Yi's heart moved, the body has been opened a foot sideways, Rao is he dodged quickly, with a bang, the clothes on the waist were still torn a bloody wound, and there was a hot pain in the left rib.
The pit leopard also didn't get any benefits, although it avoided the vital point, but was kicked in the waist by Xiao Yi, and flew out of the air with a miserable howl, and rolled to the ground several times in a row; The pain kept shaking his head and tail, the roaring sound continued, and most of the arrogant arrogance on his body was immediately extinguished, and in the first confrontation, the two sides were tied!
A man and a beast immediately confronted each other nervously, looking at each other more cautiously and fiercely, the ghostly white gaze of the panther met Xiao Yi's blood-red eyes, no one refused to back down half a step, and after circling each other for several weeks, they all roared, and both sides attacked almost simultaneously.
With the lesson of the last time, the leopard did not dare to fly in the air again, but bit towards Xiao Yi's abdomen, the speed was extremely fast, and in an instant, a hideous leopard head appeared in front of him, and the sharp claws still grabbed a strip of rags, Xiao Yi did not hesitate, his flexible left arm gently let go of the sharp teeth, grabbed the fur of the leopard's head and pressed it to the ground, and then clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed it into the leopard's ear. Xiao Yi's fist strength was so heavy, Rao is leopard bone was hard, but he couldn't stand it, the roar continued, his front paws dug the hard ground and dusted, blood flowed out of his eyes, ears, nose and mouth at the same time, and his huge body also fell out heavily.
Princess Haiyan and the maid Lingling, who were hiding on the side, were already stunned at this time, "With bare hands and fierce beasts, there is such a fierce young man in the world, could it be that the god is reincarnated?" There was no perfect hero in the heart of that young girl, and in an instant, the hearts of the two girls who had been trapped in the deep palace for a long time were melted together, turning into an amorous river, flowing! Flow! ……”
One blow, and then decline! Three and exhaustion! The attack failed one after another, and the leopard finally became frightened, and no longer dared to eat people, the overlord of the northern mountains chose to flee for the first time, and his tail clamped with the intention of fleeing for his life; Xiao Yi couldn't let it escape, rushed forward quickly, stretched out the ape's arm and grabbed the leopard's tail and pulled it back hard, roared wildly, and threw the leopard directly into the waterhole on the side, and then pounced on it himself.
In the water, the leopard immediately panicked, his limbs had nowhere to focus, and he choked several mouthfuls of water, while Xiao Yi took advantage of his height to take the opportunity to stand in the water and slammed the leopard's waist and abdomen, and hit the beast roaring again and again, and finally the tragic cry seemed to have countless souls crying in unison, but Xiao Yi was unmoved, his heart was as strong as iron, he grabbed the head and throat of the leopard with one hand, and grabbed the leopard's tail with the other, no matter how desperately the leopard struggled, but he couldn't escape from his hands.
With a round of iron arms, Xiao Yi actually turned the leopard on his back, back to back, and then the two iron arms pouted hard, "Stuck and rubbed!" With a crisp sound, the vertebrae, larynx, and coccyx of the leopard snapped almost simultaneously; In the earth-shattering howl, the bright red leopard blood stained the young man's shoulders......
The leopard corpse was still in the water, watching the blood spread rapidly in the pool water, like a touch of red glow staining the blue sky, Xiao Yi looked up to the sky and let out a roar like a giant beast, declaring to all the beasts in the northern mountain, who is the real overlord of the mountain!
