Chapter 8: The Purple Leopard
Chapter 8: The Purple Leopard
Everyone dispersed at last night's party, and as soon as they woke up in the morning, Qi Ling and his mother began to clean up yesterday's "mess".
After cleaning up, Qi Ling went to the mountains and forests to collect materials for Uncle Li and the men in the village, while Qi Ling's mother prepared dry food with the women in the village to make follow-up preparations for the departure.
Qi Ling's side is also going well, everyone only needs to cut down the thick wood in the shallow part of the forest, because there are not many people, and the boat built does not need to be very large, and because all men work, and there are not many beasts in the front of the forest, the construction process has been greatly accelerated, and the men have just after noon to carry back and forth, and half of the hull of the wood has been chopped, and nearly ten logs have been piled up at the entrance of the village.
Over the next month, the men carried the wood back and forth, and under the guidance of experienced elders, the hull of the ship was constructed, and everyone began to prepare the timber for the sails and oars.
It has been busy for more than ten days, and today noon is the last day for everyone to go into the mountains to cut wood, as long as this batch of timber is in hand, after the assembly is completed in two days, everyone in the village can go on a long voyage.
"Come on, everyone!
"Good!"
The strong men in the village shouted to each other and cheered each other on, and their fighting spirit instantly increased, and they didn't feel very tired in the face of the scorching sun.
"Look, what is this?"
"Hey, it's three leopard cubs. ”
"Their patterns are curious, they are purple, and they have feathers on their legs, are they mutated?"
Approaching the sunset, several men who were about to finish their work suddenly found a nest of small leopards next to the fallen tree, and a group of people bustled forward to take a look, and found that these little leopards were very different.
"It's... Purple Leopard?" Uncle Li saw that everyone was gathered together, and slowly walked to check, and after looking at it, he suddenly frowned, and there was some confusion between his eyebrows.
The purple leopard is a solitary monster beast, which likes to live on tall trees, except when giving birth, foraging or educating its cubs, it will only go down to the ground, and the rest of the time will only lazily stay in the trees, as long as it is not hungry or does not violate it, humans will not easily go down the tree as long as it passes by.
But now the question is, how did the leopard's nest fall from here, everyone cut down low trees, and it shouldn't be.
"Is this a demon beast, Uncle Li?"
"Well, that's right, this is the cubs of the Purple Glowing Leopard, seeing that these cubs are only a few months old, their mother should go foraging, and the weird thing is that the Purple Leopard likes to live in high places, and we cut down to teach low trees, how to fall from low trees. ”
Qi Ling saw that the characteristics of the purple leopard were different from ordinary leopards, and probably guessed it, and after Uncle Li responded to Qi Ling's words, he quickly walked towards the men who were still busy behind, with a little anxiety on his face.
"Da Gang, Ah Zheng, you hurry up and finish cutting down this tree and hurry back, the sun is about to set, and the purple glow leopard will be back soon." ”
"Good!"
Uncle Li instructed the two strong men, and the latter also set off immediately after responding, speeding up the final project.
"Uncle Li, is the purple glow leopard very powerful?" Qi Ling was a little surprised by the strength of the purple glow leopard when he saw Uncle Li's hurried appearance.
"Although the purple leopard is small, it is naturally agile, and the speed of running as an adult is at least close to ninety kilometers per hour, I guess it may be because of the recent forest riots, the purple leopard's living space is threatened to move the cubs here, plus many monsters and animals migrate, there is really no food, the two leopards go out together, otherwise we just cut down their homes, we will suffer, so we have to call it a day quickly." ”
Uncle Li also flipped through a few books when he was young, and he still had some understanding of these low-level demon beasts, and while the two were talking, the two strong men also completed the final work.
“... Everyone should go back in order, and those who can use the aura will stand at the back. ”
Uncle Li looked up at the sky that was gradually reflected red by the sunset, and commanded everyone out of the forest in an orderly manner, although there was a threat behind, but also to keep calm, not to panic, after all, there was a deep river under the suspension bridge, if you fell down, it would be difficult to come up.
"Xiao Qi, you follow everyone quickly, Uncle Sun and I have broken off a few times, and we are guarding against the purple leopard. ”
"Okay, Uncle Li, be careful. ”
Uncle Li instructed Qi Ling to wait for Qi Ling to follow the former, and then connect with a few seniors who can use aura, and it has been confirmed that they will leave the forest in a mighty way.
It was safe to cross the drawbridge, and everyone was about to go up the mountain, ready to make the follow-up equipment of the ship overnight, in preparation for a faster trip to the mountain.

Suddenly, the sound of a wind pierced through the forest, and Uncle Li's worries still came...
