When he thought of this, Gao Chao had a headache, he really couldn't figure out why these things were all related to that 101, they seemed to have been looking for something, but in the end they didn't seem to have found anything. But the mess they left behind was thrown there, as if they were only responsible for finding it, but rarely finishing it, so that the ancient tomb in this valley was still so dangerous.

Thinking of that ancient tomb, Gao Chao was still very puzzled, he remembered that someone once said that when the troops withdrew thirty years ago, in order to close the ancient tomb, they blew up the mountain walls on both sides, and artificially created a dammed lake in the valley, so that they could cover up some things back then, but the ancient tomb they found, how could it be halfway up the mountainside, is that the ancient tomb the same as the one they found thirty years ago? Or maybe the tomb they found was not found by the same people they had found thirty years ago.

Thinking of this, Gao Chao no longer had any ideas, and the complexity of this matter was far from what he could imagine if he thought about it like this.

Gao Chao thought about it, and he couldn't help but sigh again, because he thought of Essetti again, and he felt that he was just a poor guide, and he really felt sorry for him who died in that ancient tomb in such a daze.

Gao Chao knew in his heart that this was the cruel reality, and he suddenly felt that all this was like a quagmire of death, and he, the fat man, and perhaps Xia Qing, had fallen irretrievably into this mud. There was nothing around, nothing to escape from, they only fell deeper and deeper, but they didn't know what was waiting for them.

Thinking about it. Gao Chao slowly closed his eyes, and in this not quiet night, he had gradually fallen asleep, although he had been thinking that he would not be able to sleep tonight, but he had fallen asleep unconsciously.

I don't know how long it took, Gao Chao suddenly woke up. He wasn't woken up by the cold, he wasn't woken up, he just woke up as if he felt something in a dream.

He lay in the tent and did not move, but opened his eyes and looked, only to find that the kerosene stove outside the tent was still on, and the light of the fire was still reflected in his tent.

He listened carefully to the sounds around him, and everything remained the same. The sound of the wind and the sound of the water, like two couples arguing, will not stop for a moment.

It seems that everything is still normal, Gao Chao only then let out a sigh of relief, smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and thought that maybe he was too nervous, so that he was almost like a fat man, and he was always surprised.

I thought to myself. Gao Chao rolled over and prepared to go back to sleep. But just as he was about to close his eyes, he suddenly felt the light of the kerosene stove outside the tent, as if it had suddenly flickered, as if something had just flickered in front of the fire, which made Gao Chao, who wanted to continue sleeping. Suddenly he became alert again.

Despite this, Gao Chao did not react immediately, he just sat up from the tent carefully, and then held his breath and quietly listened to the movement outside the tent.

But nothing was found. Except for the sound of wind and water, there is absolutely no other sound in this cave, Gao Chao is a little puzzled, could it be that the kerosene stove was blown by the wind just now, so the fire will shake, but it is unlikely, there is no wind in this location anyway, otherwise they would not have chosen to camp here.

Is it fat? Gao Chao thought that maybe the fat man got up in the middle of the night to release the water, he had always had this habit, but Gao Chao thought about it and felt that it was wrong, it was possible for the fat man to get up and release the water, but how could his movements not even have a sound?

Just when Gao Chao was still a little puzzled, the firelight flickered again, and this time, the firelight was completely blocked by something, and the shadow formed by that thing in the firelight was reflected on Gao Chao's tent.

Gao Chao's heartbeat immediately accelerated, and he stared at the shadow in his tent with round eyes, and even stopped breathing.

The shadow looked like a cat......

Gao Chao reacted at once, it was a "snow leopard"!

Xia Qing had reminded them before that the snow leopard is a difficult animal, as long as they identify the prey, they will keep tracking, it seems that Xia Qing is really right, but I didn't expect that the snow leopard has been secretly tracking them, until tonight in the cave, it wants to wait for the opportunity to attack.

Although Gao Chao had no experience in dealing with this wild animal, with his instinct, he had already held the long knife in his hand, and he quickly thought about what method he would use to subdue the snow leopard, or better scare it away, because Gao Chao also knew that the snow leopard was a very precious animal, and he did not want to kill it because of his fear.

However, Gao Chao thought about it and didn't come up with a good way, and at this moment, a voice came from not far from him.

"...... Uproar"

It sounded very familiar, the sound of the tent zipping open.

Gao Chao immediately reflected that it must be a fat man, and he must be going to get up at night to release water again.

Gao Chao scolded in his heart, this dead fat man, he can't get up early or late, but he wants to go out of the tent at this time, isn't this just the time to bump into a snow leopard?

So Gao Chao shouted: "Fatty, don't go out, there are snow leopards outside!" ”

But it was still a step too late, and the fat man had already climbed out of the tent, and he didn't seem to understand what Gao Chao said at all, so he was just dazed and a little impatient: "What? Got a straw hat? I'm going to go out and pee, what the are the straw hats for......"

But before he finished speaking, Gao Chao had already opened his tent and jumped out of it, Gao Chao knew the fat man too well, he knew that as long as the fat man didn't wake up, he was not much different from a demented child.

Gao Chao jumped out, and before he could get up from the ground, he saw a white shadow flickering in front of his eyes, and before he could react, he was already thrown to the ground.

Gao Chao secretly said that it was not good, he didn't think about it, so he swung the knife and stabbed the thing on his body, but unexpectedly, the knife was stabbed crooked in a hurry, and then his right hand was empty, and the long knife was thrown aside.

However, Gao Chao subconsciously, he immediately grabbed the thing on his body tightly with both hands, and he used all his strength to pull the thing away from him, and then he saw clearly that what he grabbed with both hands was the leopard head of the snow leopard. (To be continued.) )
