The Qinling Mountains are very big and beautiful, if you stand in the sky and look down, you can see the green leaves in front of you, the clear canals greet each other, the water and the mountains are all in one, everywhere is beautiful, and the fun is full of fun.

However, the view of the Qinling Mountains is not good for some people.

I saw a group of more than a dozen people walking hard in the dense jungle.

Two young men were satisfied with the front with machetes to open the way in front and open a way for the rear.

An old man in his sixties walked in the center, surrounded by several young people, both men and women.

They are the scientific research team of Qinlong University, and for the rigor of a paper, they came to Qinling to do a field trip.

Of course, they will not go very deep into the Qinling Mountains, they will only walk around the periphery of the Qinling Mountains, after all, the Qinling Mountains are not a happy land, and there are still many carnivores.

Tigers and leopards can be seen in the Qinling Mountains, some of which are native to the Qinling Mountains, but some of which are wild animals released from nearby zoos.

After all, there are too few real wild animals in this era, so the government's decision is to cultivate some animals as wild animals, release them into nature, and return them to nature.

Although some tigers and leopards are released by humans, this does not mean that they will show mercy when they encounter humans.

Not to mention that they don't have intelligence, and even if they do, they won't show mercy to humans.

A group of people have taken you in, imprisoned you for a while, entertained you with good food and drink, and then told you to leave, what would you do if it were you?

"Ladies and gentlemen, there has been a significant decrease in the number of animals in the vicinity, and there seems to be a problem with this scientific research. ”

The old man frowned, it has been studying animals for a long time, it is a professor at Qinlong University, and has more than 30 years of rich experience, he and the students have only seen a few hares, wild children or something, and the number is scarce, and the slightly larger animals have never been seen.

According to the old man's experience, there should be a hegemon at the top of the food chain here, which has seriously damaged the ecological balance of this small area, resulting in a sharp decline in animals.

"When you go back, report it to the local authorities. ”

After the old man muttered to himself, he suddenly heard the voice of a girl not far away: "Professor, there seem to be traces of tiger activity here." ”

When the old man heard this, he hurriedly rushed over, squatted down, and carefully observed the paw prints on the trunk.

A tiger's range of activities is usually tens to hundreds of square kilometers, but it never stays in one place for long periods of time, regardless of whether it has prey or whether it has been caught. At the same time, it likes to forage along a fixed route, and likes to walk on the paths in the forest, on ridges, between shrubs and grassy slopes, and once it finds its prey, it likes to sneak up on it, waiting for an opportunity to sneak up on the prey and kill it.

Tigers, like all cats, like to mark "messages" on the ground or trees, urinate or hang their paws on the road.

Therefore, this is also the focus of the old man's research, but ......

"This paw print is relatively small, and it should be a creature like a leopard. ”

The old man analyzed, and after finally coming to a conclusion, the old man even said something that made everyone present a little scared: "It should be nearby, let's look carefully." ”

"Huh?"

When the students heard this, they all showed frightened expressions: The professor is crazy, a few of us are looking for leopards, is this to deliver couriers to others?

"You young people, what are you afraid of? ”

The old man smiled: "Not to mention anything else, we have two in-service soldiers escorted with guns, and we have complete camera equipment, if you find a leopard, track its life patterns, don't you have your graduation thesis?"

After thinking about it, the students felt that what the professor said made sense, so they agreed with the professor's choice and planned to track down the leopard.

"Go, go in the opposite direction, I'm sure the leopard won't go far. ”

After analyzing it for a while, the old man pointed in one direction and said to the students. There were seven students present, plus themselves and two armed soldiers, a total of ten, and there should be no problem wandering around the edge of the forest.

A bud has no investigative value, but the old man feels that he should give young people a long insight and not become a flower in a greenhouse. I don't even dare to see a leopard, and I am still a contemporary college student?

They followed the old man's direction, and after walking for a while, they found a huge pool, and there seemed to be some shadows in it.

On the edge of the waterhole, a golden-yellow half-corpse lay there, blood melted in the water, and there was a bloody smell in the air.

"It's... It's the Golden Leopard!"

Seeing this, the old man's heart trembled slightly.

Although the leopard is very common in zoos, the old man knows that the leopard in the wild is very rare!

In China, only in November last year in the Taihang Mountains were there any sightings of wild leopard cubs.

This shows how precious the value of the wild leopard is.

"Dead.... Unfortunately, but be careful, the leopard died on the edge of the waterhole, and there may be other powerful animals in this waterhole, some of which live in the water and wait for other animals to drink......"

Before the old man could finish his words, a boy exclaimed, "Professor, there are blood stains here!"

The old man was stunned and looked in the direction where the boy had found, only to find that the weeds on the nearby grass had been flattened, and there were some blood stains on it.

"This is supposed to be the creature that killed the leopard...."

The old man hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind: "I think we can investigate this strange creature." ”

The students had no objection, and for them it was the same as the leopard or any other carnivore.

In the direction where the weeds were flattened, the vulture waved its wings, rising and falling, which instantly made the old man think of something: "The vulture is wandering nearby, which direction are we going!"

The students had no objections, after all, professors who were only sixty years old could walk, let alone young and vigorous students.

Everyone walked in the direction of the vulture, and after crossing the hill, a bloody scene appeared in front of them in an instant.

Animal carcasses lay nowhere on the ground, flies buzzed around, and vultures from nowhere scrambling for the few flesh on the carcass.

Through the corpses, the old man has seen wild boars, goats and other animals, although the corpses have not piled up into a mountain, but looking at the past everywhere, it is also very shocking.

"Professor... This, this.... What kind of creature is this? It's terrifying...", a schoolgirl muttered at the sight of the horrific scene.

However, something even more terrifying happened!

The earth trembled slightly, as if some creature was coming from not far away.

The old man was bold and looked over there.

A lantern-sized eye suddenly appeared in front of everyone!
