Chapter 125: The Beast

The sky basically darkened, and the visibility was affected by Yan zhòng, but unfortunately, Bu Meiyu did not carry a night vision device, so Li Mu and Lin Yu could only discredit and move forward. △ ↗ Top Novel,

Li Mu used his saber to get two human-high wooden sticks, he walked in front, and Lin Yu walked behind. Li Mu used one of the wooden sticks to explore the road ahead like a thunderbolt, and used the other wooden stick to lead Lin Yu.

The current state and environment made Li Mu's mind unable to concentrate, he thought of the platoon commander of the Wu army, and remembered the mission that he would never forget. Holding back the growing sadness, Li Mu tried his best to concentrate on it.

Li Mu sped up and hurried to get as close to Zhao Yiyun and them as possible when it was completely dark - once it got dark, even if Zhao Yiyun and the others didn't leave, it would be difficult for Li Mu to find the marks they left.

Lin Yu's attention was on the tree trunks on both sides, and the marks would definitely stay on the tree trunks, and he wouldn't care about the road ahead, because he only needed to follow behind Li Mu, and there would be no problems.

"Squad leader, look!" Lin Yu stopped, stretched out his hand in the rain, and pointed to a tree on the right.

Li Mu stopped and took a few steps back, there were clear marks on the trunk, and arrows indicated Zhao Yiyun's location. Just as he was about to leave, Li Mu suddenly found some marks that were not very clear in the position below the mark, as if he had been grabbed by something, which was not so clear.

"This place ......" Li Mu straightened the hat of his raincoat and took a closer look.

Lin Yu also looked at it seriously, and suddenly his brows jumped, and his lips trembled a little, "It's like a scratch left by an animal." ”

Suddenly thinking of something, Li Mu's liver and gall were broken, and he broke out in a cold sweat, and whispered, "Clouded leopard." We've broken into clouded leopard territory, and they're scratching their territory. ”

Lin Yu's spine suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, "Squad leader, you can't do it, there are leopards here." ”

"Very rarely, it seems that we were lucky to run into those ferocious clouded leopards. Li Mu whispered, "But on a cold day, they shouldn't come out, although they like to be active at night." ”

"That's fine, that's right, it's so cold, there's no reason to go out. Lin Yu said.

"Let's go, we should not be far from them. Li Mu said.

The two continued to move forward, walking for about ten minutes, faintly, with the last glimmer of light, Li Mu saw a faint smoke rising in the forest in the direction of one o'clock.

"It should be there. Li Mu pointed with his hand.

"Squad, squad leader......" Lin Yu's voice trembled very much, and he shouted softly.

Li Mu looked back and saw Lin Yu's frightened face, with a miserable white color, and looked at him with a look at the past at ten o'clock, at ten o'clock, there was nothing, the corners of his mouth twitched, Li Mu raised his gaze and saw a tree in the direction of ten o'clock, and a pair of bright eyes appeared there.

Finally saw the outline clearly-clouded leopard, standing on the tree, looking at Li Mu and Lin Yu's clouded leopard about twenty meters away.

"This thing didn't take medicine today, and it came out to hunt on a cold day. Li Mu whispered, let go of the wooden stick in his right hand, and then slowly reached into the satchel and pulled out the saber.

Lin Yu, a tall and muscular man, was so scared that the corners of his mouth were crooked--when he was unarmed, in the face of this kind of thing that could kill bison and wild boar, would he not be afraid?

"Pick up the sticks and do as I command. Li Mu clenched his saber and slowly moved sideways, forming an attack formation with Lin Yu.

Li Mu couldn't be afraid, because if that happened, the clouded leopards would bite their throats one by one and drag them away to serve as a month's rations.

Stabilizing his mind, Lin Yu clenched the long wooden stick, opened his legs and stood firmly, and the wooden stick pointed diagonally at the clouded leopard in the tree.

The clouded leopard looked at Li Mu and Lin Yu condescendingly, it was familiar with the taste of humans, because humans always carried hunting dogs that made it fear, so it hated humans. Under the squeezing and killing of humans, the living space of the clouded leopard is constantly compressed, and it is difficult to survive in the cracks.

It hesitated, because it didn't find the hound, it didn't smell the hound, and at the same time, it had some scruples—it couldn't tell if what Li Mu and Lin Yu were holding in their hands was the kind of thing that could shoot deadly projectiles.

Time passed minute by minute, and the drizzle did not mean to stop, falling on the leaves. The clouded leopard does not seem to feel cold, although temperatures below ten degrees are more uncomfortable for it.

"Squad leader, what is it thinking?" Lin Yu asked in a low voice.

Li Mu replied decisively: "I don't know either." ”

Lin Yu said, "At this distance, maybe it can pounce on it with a jump." ”

Li Mu said: "Maybe all it takes is a jump. ”

Both of them took off the hats of their raincoats so as not to affect their vision, so their faces were gently slapped by the raindrops, but fortunately their vision was not blurred.

The clouded leopard moved, and Li Mu and Lin Yu suddenly trembled in fright. The fear of facing wild animals is not so easy to overcome, know that humans are the most vulnerable!

Lin Yu shook the wooden stick in his hand even harder, and his teeth clenched tightly.

Suddenly, the clouded leopard jumped down!

"Ah!!h

However, the clouded leopard just jumped down and didn't bully closer, and when it saw Lin Yu coming with a hideous face, it shrank back and roared in a state of readiness!

Lin Yu stopped abruptly, not daring to move forward.

Li Mu slowly moved to the right flank, about five meters away from Lin Yu, facing the clouded leopard.

In another confrontation, the clouded leopard slowly regained its posture, it did not pounce, it was still hesitating, obviously this thing was not stupid, or it was thinking about which target to attack first.

"Hold your breath. Li Mu whispered.

Lin Yu nodded, staring intently at the clouded leopard.

There was a long silence again, save for the sound of the rain falling on the leaves.

Suddenly, the branches behind the clouded leopard moved, and several people slowly walked out, holding arm-thick branches in their hands, spreading out to form an encirclement of the clouded leopard!

Li Mu and Lin Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, those three people were Zhao Yiyun, Shi Lei and Du Xiaofan!

Obviously, they must have heard Lin Yu's roar and rushed over - the cave they were staying in was not far from here.

Suddenly falling into a disadvantage, the clouded leopard turned around and took a few steps back, baring his teeth at Zhao Yiyun and them, roaring angrily.

Li Mu waved his hand at Zhao Yiyun and them, signaling them not to take the initiative to attack.

Slowly walking a few steps closer to the clouded leopard, Li Mu stared at the clouded leopard and said, "You go, the well water does not interfere with the river water." ”

The clouded leopard let out a few low roars, slowly retreated, and then turned around and sank into the dense grass......
