Chapter 66: The Leopards
Several people were taken aback.
They don't hunt, they just help carry prey?
These words were like pouring cold water on their heads, expecting their excitement to cool down quickly.
Even Ye Xi couldn't help frowning.
After establishing the war pet contract, Jiaojiao could also feel Ye Xi's mood, and noticed that Ye Xi was in a bad mood, raised his snake head, and hissed and spit out the snake letter.
"Okay! The second team is leaving! The newcomers should pay attention to keep up and don't fall behind!"
Pu Tai put a rattan rattan around Xiao Te's neck as a rein, and with that, he pulled the reins and led the pioneer to step the dinosaur into the jungle.
"The captain is so majestic, he doesn't have to walk on his own like us. ”
There was a muttering of envy in Ye Xi's ears.
When he turned his head, it turned out to be a new warrior named Hulu. Hulu has an ordinary face, and the most conspicuous thing on his body is a pair of fan-like ears, when people see him, their attention will always be attracted by his ears.
Hulu has been a reserve warrior for a long time, but because his qualifications are not the best, he has never been ranked to the beast core, and he has been lucky to become a real warrior this year.
This guy was just frustrated that he couldn't hunt, and he envied the captain's war pet so quickly?
Seeing Ye Xi's view, Hulu smiled and touched the back of his head: "You are so powerful, you can actually train all the dinosaurs into war pets!"
Also used honorifics?
Ye Xi was amused, and was about to reply to something, when he saw that the soldiers in the front row had already run forward, he didn't have time to speak, and hurriedly followed the team.
............
In the primeval jungle, the warriors ran fast.
In the past, this speed would have made Ye Xi extremely difficult, but now...... Ye Xi almost followed the team with ease in a leisurely strolling attitude, and was even in the mood to look around.
As they skimmed through the jungle, countless creatures were alarmed.
The mountain deer jumped away, and swarms of flying squirrels spread their wings and glided past them. Originally hidden in the trunk of the tree, the palm-sized swarm of insects crawled towards the canopy. Predators such as the saber-toothed tiger did not dare to approach the group and avoided it from a distance.
As if the team hadn't spotted the prey, they continued to plunge deeper into the jungle without a pause.
I don't know how long I ran, but the surrounding scenery became strange and magnificent.
At this time, the jungle was terrifyingly huge, and the unfolded canopy covered the sky and the sun, which was as big as two or three acres of land. The huge trunk of the tree could not be enclosed even if ten people spread their arms together. The roots were staggeringly thick and tangled in the soil, and some of the exposed roots were as tall as a man, and you had to jump over them.
Walking in such a forest gives the illusion that people have shrunk.
This spectacular prehistoric jungle shocked Ye Xi's heart, and he opened his eyes wide to admire this masterpiece of the gods.
"W-"
A loud eagle chirped overhead.
Ye Xi looked up and saw a human-tall bald eagle standing on the top of the tree, condescending, staring at them sharply.
What a big eagle! I'm afraid that such an eagle feeds on beasts!
However, even such a large eagle did not dare to challenge the hunting team, and just kept staring at them coldly until the team disappeared, and then withdrew its gaze.
"Whew, whew. ”
There was a heavy pant in my ears.
I saw Hulu, who was running beside him, his face was red, and he was panting.
Looking at them again, they wiped the sweat from their foreheads from time to time, and they also looked exhausted.
The old soldiers didn't look so tired, but their faces were slightly flushed.
Before they knew it, they had been running for three hours in a row.
However, Ye Xi didn't feel it at all, his face was not red or panting, and his condition was as good as if he had just entered the jungle.
"The team stops and rests for a quarter of an hour!" suddenly an order came from ahead.
The fighters stopped.
In this resting place, there are many plants that resemble aloe vera, clumps, growing taller than people, very luxuriant, looking chubby and watery, very pleasant.
A warrior poked a knife at the plant, and suddenly the transparent juice gushed out like tap water, and the warrior hurriedly leaned over and sucked it.
Most of the fighters cut it off, and the juice overflowed from the fracture, and some of them drank it directly, and some of them followed it with water bladders.
Ye Xi smacked his tongue, good thing, with this piece of plant, this is equivalent to a supply station, which can replenish water and consume.
"Come on?" Luo walked up and asked Ye Xi with a smile.
Ye Xi took out his dagger and strode over: "Of course you have to taste it." ”
He went up and cut a leaf directly, and the juice suddenly splattered out of the fracture.
Ye Xi took a sip and found that the juice was sweet, with a fragrance of herbs and trees, which was refreshing.
"This leaf can also be eaten, and it tastes good, so you might as well eat it. Luo reminded.
Ye Xi took a bite, the taste of this leaf flesh is a bit like the processed aloe vera pulp, but it doesn't have that sweet and greasy feeling, it is just the right kind of sweetness.
Jiaojiao swam over.
Ye Xi cut off another section of the leaf and put it to Jiaojiao's mouth.
Jiaojiao sniffed it but quickly lost interest, hissing and spit snake letters and turned his head away.
"There is a situation, pay attention to all!" Putai yelled.
All the warriors were startled, stopped moving, looked around vigilantly, and immediately touched their weapons with their hands.
Rustle, rustle.
There was a noise in the treetops in several places behind him.
Pu Tai roared: "It's a group of leopards attacking, let's go!"
Ye Xi is in a daze.
Leopards are coming?
Along the way, all the creatures in the jungle avoided it, even predators like cave lions and dinosaurs did not dare to come.
The reason why they are so scared is not because they are strong individually, but because they are numerous. All the totem warriors combined, and the momentum they exuded was enough to make them afraid and panic.
But Ye Xi ignored that not only humans hunt in groups, but some fierce predators also know how to work as a team.
But when will the leopards also hunt in groups? Ye Xi was surprised.
Pu Tai directly asked the hunting team to flee forward, I am afraid that this leopard herd is so large that Pu Tai does not even have the consciousness to let the hunting team resist.
But it was too late to see the jungle, and the team heard Pu Tai's warning and started running directly, and Ye Xi could only keep up with the team.
"Keep up with it!" said Pu Tai, who had led the team in front of him, and yelled at the team.
The entire hunting party sped up sharply.
Ye Xi bent down and picked up the Jiaojiao and let it wrap around himself.
Ye Xi didn't know Jiaojiao's current speed, so he didn't dare to take risks, so he still chose to take it with him.
Although Jiaojiao is very heavy now, it is nothing in terms of Ye Xi's current strength.
Jiaojiao knew that the situation was critical, so he carefully wrapped his body around Ye Xi's body, and obediently did not wrap his legs.
簌簌, 簌簌.
The treetops in the rear kept ringing, and they dropped out of the distance of more than ten meters behind the team.
The leopards have no intention of giving up.
The primeval jungle floor is littered with tangled thick roots, slippery moss, and crumbling rocks.
Many trappers disguised as plants and trees are also lurking, some of them with high poison, waiting for their prey to pass by, waiting for an opportunity to take a bite and eat a delicious meal.
The hunting party bypassed such obstacles on the ground and rushed forward at extreme speed.
Suddenly, a large broken log crossed the road ahead.
The trunk of the tree in front of him was as high as a three-story building, and Pu Tai jumped off Xiao Te's back and jumped on the broken tree in three jumps and two jumps, but suddenly found that the front was all this kind of broken wood, blocking the road tightly.
Pu Tai made a decision immediately, gave an order in his heart, let Xiaote escape by himself, and then grabbed the vine and climbed to a giant tree next to him.
The branches were thick, led by Putai, and everyone climbed up to the trees, jumped on the treetops, and ran forward.
Each warrior ran as fast as they could on the branches, and their movements were nimble and no slower than on the ground.
The giant tree was huge, and Ye Xi felt that running on the branches was like running on the ground, and he didn't have to worry about whether so many people would collapse on it.
The wind ruffled Ye Xi's hair, blowing the snakeskin clothes and flying fiercely.
The treetops on the right rattled.
Ye Xi turned his head to look, and saw three huge black panthers jumping vigorously on the treetops on the right, and their cold golden eyes glanced at them from time to time.
The tree on the left also made a slight noise, and when I turned my head, I saw that there were four black panthers jumping on it.
Ye Xi glanced back.
This glance made him gasp instantly, and the hairs on his body stood up.
I saw that in the treetops behind me, there were hundreds of black panthers, densely packed, silently following behind!
