Chapter 9: The Windswept Leopard
They came out late, and they couldn't catch up with the warriors and war slaves in front of them all the way.
After more than ten miles to the south, the road began to be rough and difficult, and there were many forks.
After another seven or eight miles, the old man's red rosacea nose began to sniff around, as if he was looking for some kind of breath.
Zhan Tian also followed the red-faced old man, his eyes searched around.
After half an hour, the bushes and grasses around gradually increased, and it was obvious that they had entered the inaccessible place.
Zhan Tian even found a pool of blood under a big tree, but he couldn't tell whether it was a human or a beast.
"Hahaha...... This is still an outside area, there is no danger!Young man, don't worry!" The red-faced old man seemed to see the nervousness in Zhantian's heart, and laughed.
"Hmm", Zhan Tian nodded, but he couldn't help it in his hand, and once again adjusted the seat belt on his body, the leather belt around his waist, and the bullet and ten crossbow arrows in his pocket.
"You seem to have picked up all these things from the garbage heap, is it useful?" the red-faced old man blinked his black bean eyes and teased.
"No money, only like this!" Zhan Tiandao.
The red-faced old man immediately became cautious, pouted and said, "Young man, don't cry poor in front of the old man!
Zhan Tian smiled slightly, "I didn't mean that, my lord." ”
This old man seems to be very sensitive to the word "money".
As soon as Zhantian's voice fell, the old man's expression changed slightly.
"Come this way!" the old man whispered as he turned back to the east.
Zhan Tian hurriedly followed, and his eyes quickly scanned around, observing the nearby trees.
Just a moment later, a bush not far from the old man suddenly sounded slightly, and a green shadow swooped out of it!
"Drifting Wind Leopard!"
The old man let out an exclamation.
Zhan Tian's heart tightened, aiming at a big tree on the west side, and rushed away.
Looking at the old man's meaning, this so-called Flowing Wind Leopard will definitely not be at the beast level!
When he came to the bottom of the tree, he loosened the leather belt around his waist and parted his feet slightly.
With a "click", the leather belt was already on his ankles.
Jumping forward, Zhan Tian hugged the trunk with both hands. At the same time, the feet imprisoned by the leather belt have also been firmly clamped on the body of the tree!
The two feet kicked and pushed vertically, and the hands were strengthened at the same time, and with a "poof", he had pulled up a few feet towards the tree.
"Woo Woo ......"
Zhan Tian stepped on such a vertical leap with his feet, and in just a few breaths, he had already climbed seven or eight meters upwards and landed on a thick tree trunk!
This way of climbing trees, most migrant workers can, even if they are on telephone poles, they can easily climb up!
Quickly removed the leather belt from his ankle, pulled out the crossbow, pulled out a crossbow arrow, and hung it up, aiming it at the Flowing Wind Leopard who was fighting with the red-faced old man below.
War slaves have the obligation to assist the warriors in hunting, especially when the warriors are at a disadvantage in battle.
In the great wilderness, the vast majority of the more ferocious beasts and fierce beasts are very resentful. Whether it's shooting a crossbow arrow or throwing a stone, it can provoke their anger for a short time.
This short moment of influence is likely to allow the warriors to seize the opportunity and succeed in hunting.
"It's too far!"
Zhan Tian glanced at the blue-spotted leopard who was fighting with the old man, and said in his heart.
The leopard was the size of a calf, and it was extremely agile and powerful in its leaps, and it was not an ordinary beast at first glance.
At this moment, the red-faced old man had already pulled out the small silver shield on his back and the dagger on his waist, and swam around the Flowing Wind Leopard.
"Smack!"
The old man dodged the Drifting Wind Leopard again, and the big tree more than two feet thick behind him was torn off by sharp claws A piece of bark the size of a basin!
When the wrong body flashed, the dagger in the old man's hand flickered and slashed towards the waist and abdomen of the Flowing Wind Leopard. The Flowing Wind Leopard's body twisted and dodged, but the old man took the opportunity to jump and leap towards the big tree where Zhantian was.
Zhan Tian quickly pulled the crossbow away, ready to fire the crossbow arrow to assist.
"Whew!"
The Wind Leopard jumped up again, and its speed was as much as three or four percent faster than before!
Vaguely, Zhan Tian even felt that there seemed to be a faint cyan streamer around the leopard's body!
The red-faced old man is naturally not good at stubble, he feels that the evil wind behind him is not good, that is, his body squats and twists, the dagger in his right hand stabs the chest of the leopard in the air, and the silver shield in his left hand rises, crashing into the soft flesh under the waist and abdomen of the leopard!
The leopard's two front paws swept out, grabbed the old man's dagger, and bent its two hind legs to protect its abdomen, while stepping on the silver shield.
"Click, click!"
The two strange sounds came out almost together, but the old man's right hand holding the dagger failed to make a contribution, but was torn off the black bracer on the leopard's hand! At the same time, the leopard's hind legs stepped on the silver shield, and his body twisted in the air, and he was already in front of the old man again.
"Whew!"
Zhantian seized the opportunity to shoot a crossbow arrow!
Almost at the same time, the Wind Leopard had jumped up again and pounced on the old man who had not yet gained a firm foothold.
And this time, it just dodged the bullet crossbow fired by Zhantian!
Before the old man who had just stood up had taken a stance, the Flowing Wind Leopard had already pounced on him again.
In a hurry, the old man had no choice but to protect the silver shield in front of him and resist with all his might.
"Bang knock!"
The Wind Leopard was actually with its head lowered, and a pair of front paws and its head slammed into the silver shield fiercely!
"Wow......"
The old man, who had not been on a stable footing, retreated more than a dozen steps in a row by the huge impact, and then crashed into a big tree with a bang.
"Safety first!"
The old man let out a low cry, suddenly turned around and jumped up, his feet borrowed twice on the tree, and then one fell upside down, landing on a tree trunk, panting for breath!
"Nima, safety first?"
Zhan Tian cursed in his heart, quickly put away the crossbow in his hand, looked for a nearby tree trunk to climb, and walked towards a higher place.
Sure enough, the Wind Leopard looked at the red-faced old man on the tree in the distance, and then turned his head and looked at the big tree where Lu Yu was beside him!
"Work hard, boy!
The red-faced old man was in the distance in the tree, shouting loudly.
"Look at Nima!"
Zhan Tian was still scolding in his heart, his eyes quickly scanning the big tree, looking for opportunities to take advantage of.
In less than a breath, he took a fancy to a tree trunk and quickly climbed up.
He took out the safety rope behind him and tied it to the trunk under his feet, and then he jumped forward, grabbed a thin trunk diagonally above it with his backhand, and lifted his body and turned over, and was already squatting on it.
At this moment, the wind leopard had also jumped up, grabbed the tree with its four paws, and climbed all the way up.
Zhan Tian quickly glanced at it, and felt that his method should be feasible.
As long as the Wind Leopard comes nearby, it will inevitably pounce upwards, so he can trample this thin trunk off with a single step.
Under this thin trunk, there is no other trunk to cover it, so the leopard that pounces is caught off guard, and it will inevitably step on the air with four claws and fall off the tree!
He, on the other hand, can escape with the harness that binds to the thick trunk below.
After just a few breaths, the wind leopard really came to the trunk of a tree not far away.
However, to Zhantian's surprise, the leopard opened its mouth and spit out, and a faint blue light shot out quickly and hit his body!
This blue light didn't have much power, but it was enough to knock down the emaciated Zhantian!
With a "snap", Zhantian, who was caught off guard, turned over and fell from the tree.
At the same time, the Flowing Wind Leopard pounced, opened its mouth, and devoured the sky in the air!
