Chapter 188: Fatal Mistake
A strong wind blew, and a huge leopard swept through the low bushes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This leopard is very exaggerated, it is said to be a leopard, but the size has exceeded the size of a male lion, the whole body is dark and shiny with colored hair, the limbs are very slender and powerful, and there are special meat pads on the claws, after entering the magic energy, the meat pads can eliminate the sound it makes, so it can be completely silent when running with all its strength.
The hair on its body is like a circle of water lines, and when it runs, it will form ripples and glow with a hazy magical aura, which can help it effectively eliminate air resistance, so that it does not need to be affected by air resistance when running at full speed.
The special bone structure allows its waist to fold backwards to a large angle, so when it runs, it can greatly increase the span of its limbs by folding its waist back and forth, and its strong muscles make it able to alternate limbs at a high frequency, which leads to its extremely exaggerated running speed.
Coupled with its innate super-stealth ability and perception, it has become a fearsome and ferocious predator in the Neki Forest, the red-eyed panther!
In the outer part of the Neki Forest, the red-eyed panther can be said to be one of the species standing at the top, and the only ones who are not afraid of the red-eyed panther are the ghostly white fox with even more amazing speed and the red-crowned green-bellied turtle with outstanding defense.
The former is a line faster than the red-eyed panther and is rarely caught, while the latter has an incomparably hard carapace and strong resistance to magical energy, smelly and hard like a stone in a pit, and few predators will not want to trouble them.
Because of this, the secular world is very eager for the fur of the red-eyed black panther, and the red-eyed black panther can even buy a small town with a single skin, which shows its preciousness and luxury, and only the real nobles have the capital to use the fur of the red-eyed black panther to make clothes or decorations.
Of course, the other parts of its body are also very valuable, its whip is of course a priceless treasure, and its eyeballs can be used to increase the knight's magic level and enhance strength, so the eyeballs are more precious than the fur.
And this time, Igerika's adventure party is going to hunt three red-eyed black panthers in the Neki Forest, gouge out the eyeballs and give them to the employer, you can get a huge reward, and the rest of the black panthers are not as good as bones and fur, etc., which are also owned by the adventure group.
And the high-level of the Five-Ring Adventure Group also agreed that they had the strength to hunt the red-eyed black panther, and with such a generous reward, there was no reason not to accept it, so they were divided into five teams, each team led by a big knight, and searched for traces of the red-eyed black panther separately.
This search took most of the day, during which I unexpectedly found a lot of rare species and herbs that are usually difficult to find, and even the team led by the woman wearing revealing sexy armor also found rare medicinal materials that could not be found, not to mention anything else, this large-scale dispatch of this medicinal material alone is enough.
However, many of these rare and difficult things have been found, but the main target, the trace of the red-eyed panther, has not made any progress at all.
Sometimes things are so strange, it's often hard to find things that you usually desperately look for, but when you desperately look for another thing, the things you were looking for before jump out one after another, as if you don't need money.
The team led by Igerika is even worse, they found nothing, although the other teams did not find any trace of the target, but they also made some extra money, they are called the real can't open the pot here, it's been so long, the magic creatures in the Neki Forest seem to be dead, and they haven't touched a single one.
This situation is actually very common, after all, the magic creatures are basically the overlord of the food chain, and it is impossible to have so many of them, so it is normal to wander around a huge forest for a long time and not see each other, but even so, Igerika still feels a little lost and sad.
As the saying goes, the sense of superiority and the sense of failure are compared, which is not bad at all, if everyone gets nothing, then Ijelica will only think that it is bad luck and will not take it to heart, but when the other teams have more or less gained something, their side has not yet opened, in contrast, Ijelica feels uncomfortable.
And the backbone around Ijelika, as well as all the basic personnel, also seem to feel the goddess in their hearts, and the beautiful head of the secret love is alone there, which is almost pulling their hearts and slashing them one by one, looking at the lonely look of the head of the group, the team members only feel that a certain part of their hearts is dripping blood, and suddenly a momentum arises from the chest.
The goddess leader is so sad, it's because our subordinates are too weak! We are all blamed for being too useless! I definitely don't want the head of the group to look sad, we all want to see her smile like a flower!
With such an idea, the momentum of the whole team changed, and a somewhat tragic and tragic flavor was transmitted.
And Ijelika herself is also a little impatient, she has been praised by people all the year round, she has been used to that sense of superiority, used to the feeling of being a superior person, used to treating others with a downward gaze forever, used to walking in the eyes of others, but now she is much behind the other teams, which can't help but make her feel a trace of frustration for the first time in a long time.
How long has it been since she tasted frustration? She can't remember herself, anyway, she has been successful since birth, her life can be made into a YY novel, or the invincible kind, so this feeling of frustration is like a touch of poison, lingering, eroding her originally calm heart bit by bit.
This directly led to a very rare impatience in her heart.
And people, as long as they deal with things calmly and calmly, although they will not necessarily succeed, they will never make mistakes, and even if they fail, they will have no regrets, but as long as they are impatient, it means that mistakes are about to occur.
It's clear that Igerika is a little restless and impatient, so when her men ask for a larger search area and speed, she hesitates for only a moment before nodding her head in grant.
So the twenty or so members of his command immediately dispersed, almost doubling the size of the search circle, so that the distance between each person was more than doubled.
And the speed of hesitant search has also accelerated, and if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and when you speed up your work, there are often mistakes, and in the case of impatience, it's even more surprising that there are mistakes.
After such a long search, a team member finally found the trail of the red-eyed black panther walking!
The long search finally paid off, and the excitement of this team member was needless to say, and at the same time he had something in his heart that made him even more happy than finding his target!
He had found the prey he had been thinking about for the goddess for a long time! She could finally make Ezelika shed her heartbreaking sorrow! The goddess would smile for him!
At the thought of such a thing, his heart was like a broken generator, and in addition to being extremely excited, he directly took out the bird whistle used to send a signal.
A high-pitched, loud and piercing whistle resounded through the forest, startling many small animals and birds.
"It's a signal! I've found it!" Izellika suddenly felt happy in her heart, and hurriedly beckoned her teammates to rush in the direction where the signal came.
At the same time, there were also team members scattered in other positions, after they heard the whistle, maybe they were too excited, so some of them did not move in the direction of the regiment commander according to the regulations, but ran directly to the direction from which the signal came!
Maybe in their hearts, they all want to rush to make meritorious contributions, to be able to fight with the red-eyed black panther earlier, and to end the battle earlier, it is definitely meritorious, and then the appreciative eyes and honor of the regiment commander will come to their heads, and they can't hold back the turmoil in their hearts when they think about it.
With this mentality, many people couldn't help but run directly to the place where the signal came from.
And the team member who blew the whistle was still excited at this time, because he was excited and his brain was hot to do this kind of thing, so he didn't follow the standard rules and regulations at all.
Originally, according to the standard process of professional search, after the traces of the target were detected, it was necessary to further carry out a detailed determination, such as when the traces were left, what the target was doing when these traces were left, where it would go, and if there were footprints, the approximate size and age of the other party should be judged according to the footprints, and if there was feces, the health status of the other party should be judged according to the feces.
But the team member was agitated and did not do these follow-up work at all, and the moment he found the traces of the red-eyed black panther infested, he was swayed by the excitement and lost his reason, and directly blew a sharp and piercing whistle.
If he had carefully analyzed the traces left by the red-eyed panther, he would have found that the traces were actually quite fresh, and if he analyzed them further, he could deduce the general direction of movement of the red-eyed panther from the traces, so that it was likely to be hiding in the thorn bushes not far ahead.
It's a pity that there are no "ifs" in this world.
The red-eyed panther likes to sleep among the thorns, as these dense, poisonous thorns are intimidating to most other creatures, but he can easily move through the thorns with his strong fur defenses.
And a sudden, sharp and piercing voice woke the red-eyed black panther from its sweet dream!
