Before the two of them could get to the front, they heard the sound of rustling.

They were vigilant, and Bai Lu and Hei San had already made an offensive gesture.

"Whew~"

Bai Lu let out a long howl, and his voice was full of majesty.

The surrounding sounds quieted down, and several monkeys fled.

Monkeys are bold, but they are afraid of wild beasts. There are Bai Lu and Black Three, who foresee danger and don't want to stay long.

In the woods not far away, a shadow flashed.

The shadow wasn't very large, but it was extremely fast and extremely agile.

It was a leopard, and the two had seen its markinged tail.

"Leopard!"

Lu Chen said in a low voice.

"So what do we do next?"

"Do you want to play with it?"

Qin Shou asked.

Seeing a live leopard for the first time, Qin Shou was a little nervous.

His palms were sweating slightly, and he had already secured his weapon, ready for a possible crisis.

"No, you don't."

"You just need to keep an eye on your surroundings and beware of leopard attacks."

"I'll see if I can temper its hostility."

Lu Chen said, taking out the bamboo flute he made last night.

He put the bamboo flute to his lips and played it with his heart.

What he played was the beast control song in the beast control technique.

As soon as the song came out, the leopard first let out a few low roars in resistance, and gradually quieted down and listened carefully.

After the song was blown, the leopard stopped in place, vigilantly looking at the two wolves, but there was no attack for the time being.

"It works!"

"Brother Lu, you are really a god, your song is really unusual."

Qin Shou was very pleased.

"It's just that it's not hostile."

"If you want to submit, you're still a little bit hot."

Lu Chen was not proud.

Although the beast control song is effective in taming wild beasts, it also depends on what kind of animal it is aimed at.

If they are small, delicate herbivores, they have a gentle temperament, and a single song can capture their body and mind.

But ferocious carnivores, with their more fierce temperaments, are not so easily subdued.

What's more, many carnivores are at the top of the biological chain, and they are usually in a high position and are not willing to submit to people.

To convince them, one piece of music is not enough.

In addition to the beast control song, you have to rely on force and other things to really make them succumb.

"It would be nice to make it less hostile."

"Otherwise, we'll have to be on guard against its attacks at all times."

"This leopard is so fast, and it's very familiar with the terrain around it."

"If it sneaks up, we won't be able to guard against it."

Seeing that the leopard had settled down, Qin Shou felt a little relieved.

Still, he kept an eye on the leopard in case it suddenly made any moves.

"That's just as well."

"It's the first time we've been here, and we're really unfamiliar with the terrain."

"I haven't walked in this direction before, but now it seems that this place is really a blessed place."

"This place is indeed suitable for camping, not to mention the surrounding things, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"If it weren't for the agility of the leopards and monkeys, which were difficult to harass, this place might not have been robbed by wild beasts."

Lu Chen touched his chin.

It's no wonder that the people of Yuandong Village used this as their original camp.

This is in a canyon, surrounded by mountains on three sides and rivers on one side.

Because it is sheltered by the mountain wall, it is difficult for heat and cold wind to enter, and it is a good place to be warm in winter and cool in summer.

Next to the water source, the surrounding materials are abundant, and the distance from the sea is not particularly far, it is simply a feng shui treasure.

"Yes, the mountains and rivers are natural barriers."

"Ordinary beasts don't get in easily."

"Even if you come in, it's hard to pose much of a threat."

"It's just that leopards are different from monkeys, they are agile and can easily climb trees."

"It's not a difficult place for them to get into."

"They can come down the trees on the hill quietly."

Qin Shou looked at his surroundings.

The more he looked, the more he thought it was a good place.

If you can, it's a good idea to set up camp here.

"Well, no matter how tightly defended the people here are, there are only a limited number of people after all."

"It's densely packed with trees."

"Leopards and monkeys are hard to spot when they are shaded by trees."

Lu Chen nodded.

It's easy to defend and hard to attack, but it depends on what kind of creature it's against.

For animals like leopards and monkeys, which are good at climbing and moving quickly, there are not too many obstacles.

"According to the stones, they came here two or three months ago."

"Before that, they should have lived somewhere else."

"I don't know why I came here all of a sudden?"

Lu Chen felt strange.

Animals have their own territory, and they don't leave their territory unless they have to.

But these leopards and monkeys suddenly appeared here.

Could it be that something is wrong with their former homes?

Lu Chen blew the beast control song again, and another leopard came nearby, which should be a pair with the one just now.

Not far from the trees, a monkey approached here.

A few monkeys hid among the treetops, probing their heads to see what was going on.

After Lu Chen's beast control song was blown, the leopard's attitude softened a little.

But only if they don't attack, they still won't come close.

"Whew~"

The male leopard barked majestically.

This is to let Lu Chen and Qin Shou leave and not enter their territory again.

"Whew~"

Not to be outdone, Bai Lu clearly refused.

Neither side would back down, and the atmosphere became tense.

The leopards have long made this area their territory, and they will not allow other creatures to invade it.

And Lu Chen couldn't just leave directly, and the two parties were deadlocked.

From time to time, the leopards squeaked, and the monkeys squeaked.

They have lived together in this area for some time.

The leopard usually doesn't bother to care about the monkeys, turning a blind eye to the monkeys, and the monkeys stay here safely.

Lu Chen could only roughly understand the meaning of the animals, but he couldn't understand it very clearly.

He has only been with Bai Lu for a long time now, and he has a tacit understanding with it.

But these strange animals, even if they have beast control skills, it is still not so easy for Lu Chen to communicate.

"Buy the Beast Language Mastery Skill."

Lu Chen simply bought the skill from the system.

"The purchase was successful."

The system prompt sounds, and the 100,000 points disappear.

With this skill, the cries of the animals suddenly became clear in Lu Chen's ears.

"Get out of here!"

"Get out of here!"

"Get out of here!"

"You're not welcome here!"

The leopards and monkeys meant the same thing, and they kept screaming.

"What if we don't leave?"

Lu Chen asked unceremoniously.

This is the home of the people of Yuandong Village, who have been here for decades.

A few decades ago, many of these animals were not born yet.
