Chapter 45: The Law of the Wilderness

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

Lin Bei shouted anxiously in his heart, expecting the bonfire to be lit again, but the movements of his hands were very light, as if he was lighting a fire on weekdays, and he blew lightly towards the charcoal fire.

Finally, a spark appeared in the dark night, and the flame gradually spread, lighting the firewood. The bonfire was rekindled, and the bright light of the fire illuminated the surroundings for a while, and at the same time brought a sense of security to Ye Xuan's heart.

When the ancient ancestors of human beings began to gradually discover that fire could not only make survival easier, but also effectively protect themselves from other animals, so in the long process of evolution, the ancestors relied on fire and the sun much more than other animals. According to the principle of evolutionary priority, when human ancestors were in a bright environment for a long time, night vision, a former instinct, gradually began to degenerate.

Even if he had to fight the leopard, Ye Xuan had to make the conditions favorable to him. Compared to wild beasts, humans are more intelligent, their limbs are more flexible, and they have also lost some of their primitive abilities. For example, night vision! Beasts can see clearly in the dark, but humans cannot. Fighting leopards in the dark, with and without a bonfire, is two very different endings!

Without light, he could only let the leopard slaughter without the slightest power to fight back. But with the fact that the vision is not restricted, coupled with the fact that the beast is naturally afraid of flames, Ye Xuan still has some chances of victory!

Some firewood was added to the bonfire, and the fire suddenly became bigger, making Ye Xuan feel more confident.

On the live broadcast screen, the leopard was not affected in any way, and still walked towards him slowly, vigorous and elegant.

"Roar!"

The leopard's low roar rang out again, this time closer, as if it were in his ears. Ye Xuan knew that this leopard was less than 50 meters away from him at the moment!

Taking a deep breath, Ye Xuan put down his phone, at this time the phone didn't have much effect, and the palm-sized screen couldn't provide effective help at all. Draw the dagger, hold it in your hand, and hold it horizontally in front of you. At the same time, the body is slightly bent, and the muscles of the body are tense, like a longbow ready to fire.

Waiting is an ordeal, especially when you know that there is a bush killer hiding in the darkness ahead. Ye Xuan swallowed his saliva, trying to suppress the fear in his heart.

It's closer, it's getting closer.

In the silence of the night, he could even hear the leopard's heavy breathing.

At this moment, in the darkness in front of the campfire, two faint yellow lights appeared.

Here it comes!

Ye Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, his face was expressionless, and he said at the same time: "If I didn't guess wrong, I should be in this leopard's territory now." I guess it had already spotted me during the day, and the reason why it ignored me was probably because I wasn't hungry before. Now, though, it seems to be hungry again, tracking my scent straight along the way. ”

"Do you think I'm a reserve of food? This leopard is wrong and will pay a heavy price for it!"

Not just leopards, any large carnivore attacking humans is nothing more than two possibilities. One is to feel a strong threat from humans, so instinctively drives them to fight back, and the other is to starve. Obviously, Ye Xuan didn't provoke it, and he didn't even notice its existence, so the reason why this leopard attacked him was only hunger!

In the darkness, the leopard's two faint yellow eyes moved slightly, and then the whole body gradually appeared within the range of firelight. The leopard's cold and cruel gaze seemed to carry a hint of mockery, and in the slightly open mouth, a trace of saliva dripped down the jaw fangs.

Many times, the human eye will always make some wrong judgments. Whether it's on TV or on the mobile phone just now, the size of the leopard doesn't seem to have an intuitive feeling at all, which makes people mistakenly think that the size is not big. But when it stands in front of you, you can really feel it.

This leopard is 80 centimeters tall at the shoulders, almost reaching Ye Xuan's waist, and its sturdy limbs and streamlined body look extremely impactful.

Felines are currently at the top of the food chain on the world's land.

They are agile, powerful, have a strong bite and are more tolerant of pain, making them perfect hunters. The leopard, on the other hand, is one of the best.

When it comes to cats, most people think of lions or tigers, and leopards are often compared to cheetahs, but in reality, leopards are much more terrifying than they think.

Generally speaking, leopards are capable of hunting prey twice their size, and when the prey is smaller than itself, the bite force of more than 500 pounds is enough to kill with a single hit. In other words, the leopard in front of him has the ability to kill him in seconds!

The leopard slowly approached, until it was five meters away from the bonfire, and suddenly stopped, standing there motionless, staring directly at Ye Xuan with yellow eyes.

It's natural for beasts to be afraid of fire, and this leopard is no exception. This is an instinct that has been imprinted in their genes over thousands of years of evolution.

A man and a leopard confronted each other in the quiet night. A drop of cold sweat slipped down Ye Xuan's forehead, but he didn't flinch, instead looked directly at the leopard even more fiercely.

"There are only two results tonight, either it wins or I win. The leopard has two fatal weaknesses, one is its soft belly, which is also a common weakness of all beasts. The other is the fragile vertebrae in its neck. Depending on the nature of the leopard's hunting, they tend to pounce directly on their prey with great force and then bite the prey on the neck fiercely. So, I've got to kill it before it bites me in the neck!"

To survive in the wilderness, you must sensibly avoid danger. But when in a desperate situation, there is no use in escaping. The wilderness has its own set of laws, the weak eat the strong, the fittest survive! Only the strong can stand at the top of the food chain, although this is cruel, but it is the unchanging truth for hundreds of millions of years.

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, either you die or I live!

At this time, Ye Xuan no longer had fear in his heart, but an almost perverted excitement. The adrenaline was rushing at this time, putting his whole person in a state of euphoria, as if even his blood was boiling. At this moment, he could sense his fighting spirit and momentum and begin to climb.

Momentum is a very mysterious thing, it does not appear in any form in the perception of people's five senses, but it is a real existence.

When Ye Xuan's momentum climbed to the peak, his incomparably strong confidence made him involuntarily take a step forward. It's just a small step, but it's like a sea of mountains.

Beasts are very sensitive, and they can sense them keenly when you feel fear. In the same way, when faced with danger, you can also be alert at the first time. At this moment, in the eyes of the leopard, Ye Xuan became very tall, which brought it a sense of oppression, and there was a strong crisis in his heart.

"Roar!"

This kind of life-and-death crisis stimulated the ferocity of the leopard, and I saw it leaning forward slightly, opening its mouth, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth.

At night, in front of the campfire.

One person, one leopard, silently confronted each other.

The atmosphere was depressing and terrible, and the war was about to break out.
