Volume 29 The Line Between Life and Death
Ming Xuan's head was already sweating, but he still felt cold all over, his thoughts seemed to freeze all of a sudden, his mind was blank, and he couldn't allow himself to think at all.
"How could it be here?" Ming Xuan swallowed his saliva, stared at the leopard, and only reacted after a long pause, this place should already be the territory of the tiger according to reasoning, how dare the leopard trespass on the territory of the tiger? Although the leopard is already very powerful, it is only weak in the eyes of the tiger of the king of all beasts, or the tiger is far stronger than the leopard, and it is not something it can afford to provoke.
"Could it be that we made too much noise, which attracted the attention of the leopard and aroused curiosity, so we came over to find out?" Ming Xuan calmed down and analyzed carefully, he couldn't solve the problem if he was confused, and only by figuring out the shape could he make a decision, or that he would have to die to understand!
The leopard didn't rush to attack, and didn't even make an attack posture, just watched coldly from the side, Ming Xuan didn't dare to make a big move, for fear of provoking the leopard's attack, only the little tiger was still there grinning at the leopard for a while, pretending to be pretentious but didn't really rush up to attack, as before, "tiger dummy", and finally Ming Xuan took action to solve it. But it didn't know that this time the human power was gone, and even the human life was almost gone, and even the little life with it would be gone, I really don't know where this little guy provoked the leopard from, and actually let it fart back, and I didn't know that I had already walked around the ghost gate.
"No, there should be a leopard. Ming Xuan suddenly realized a problem, although the leopard is a solitary animal and likes to act alone, but if it is a couple, it will still be inseparable, there is a leopard here, then the other one must also be nearby, not to mention that there are many fierce beasts in the forest, and a leopard does not dare to run rampant like this.
Thinking of this, Ming Xuan had an extra heart, and began to carefully observe the hidden hiding place nearby, and as expected, he found another pair of cold eyes in a pile of bushes not far away, and the two leopards were here!
Now Mingxuan's heart is completely cold, he had driven away a brown bear before, and he was a little confident, when he saw the leopard just now, although he was a little confused, he also thought that he was not an opponent, but it was still possible for him to escape. But if the two leopards are there at the same time, then they can really only wait for death, the difference in strength is too great, Ming Xuan is glad that he didn't do anything radical before, causing the leopard to attack, otherwise he would be dead now, of course, the little tiger's demonstration was not taken by them at all, maybe they didn't put Ming Xuan in their eyes either.
"But why are they just staring from afar, but not attacking directly? They should be able to see that we are no match for them. Mingxuan had new doubts. In case of trouble, use your brains more and think twice before acting, which is what grandpa repeatedly emphasized to Mingxuan, and it actually gave Mingxuan a lot of inspiration, whether it is collecting medicine, cultivating or dealing with people, it has benefited a lot, and it has also cultivated Mingxuan's good habit of thinking diligently and thoughtfully.
"They should be afraid of something, otherwise they wouldn't be so cautious, and they are still painstakingly hiding their strength, are they worried about the little tiger and its parents?" Ming Xuan thought about it, and couldn't think of other possibilities, they probably also thought that the little tiger was here, then its parents should also be here, even if they weren't there, they should not be far away, no parent who doesn't care for their children will definitely take care of them meticulously, how can they stay away lightly.
Since the leopard is afraid of the parents of the little one, then why should it appear, and the hostility is very strong, it seems that their relationship is not good, but there has never been any friendly relationship between the beasts, which can also show that even if it is not the territory of the tiger, it should not be far away, and it is more likely to be a buffer zone between the two sides, similar to the jackal white wolf, there is no clear distinction between the ownership of the territory, and it may not come much at ordinary times, but after being so noisy by the little tiger, he came to check what happened, and he didn't think that the tiger did not attract it, but attracted the tiger's enemy。
After such an analysis, Ming Xuan felt that it was reasonable, the leopard's bright and dark arrangement was also because he didn't see any trace of the tigers, and he was afraid that they would suddenly jump out, and he was completely defenseless, and he didn't attack immediately because he was worried that the mantis would catch the cicada and the yellow finch behind.
In this way, Ming Xuan knew that before the leopard did not confirm, at least for the time being, it was relatively safe, but at this time, he was a little grateful to the little tiger's grinning, and it was because of its demonstration that the leopard was more determined to think that the tiger's survival, otherwise it would be good not to stay aside and tremble with its weak strength, but unfortunately the leopard didn't know that this was completely different things.
However, this state will definitely not last long, the leopard always has the moment when his patience runs out, he will definitely attack and tempt, and when the time comes, his diorama will still be a dead end, and he has to find a way to do it quickly.
After figuring out the joints, Ming Xuan made a bold decision, pretending to be indifferent and spirited, with the fearless momentum of the little tiger, to deepen the leopard's suspicions, and then swaggered to pick up the little tiger and walk towards his temporary residence.
Mingxuan's current residence is still in a natural cave, although it is not big, but it can still be accommodated, and the most important thing is that the situation inside cannot be seen clearly from the outside, which can deepen the suspicion of the leopard and prevent them from acting rashly.
As soon as Ming Xuan entered the cave, the appearance of the spirit just now immediately changed greatly, panting heavily, his heart was pounding, his legs were a little weak, and he really admired himself for being so calm when he was outside.
The little tiger tilted his head and looked at Ming Xuan a little inexplicably, why is his watch a little strange today, if he usually rushed up to send the beast away in his own shouts, and then rewarded himself with a delicious meal, he would not run back regardless of it now.
Looking at the little tiger's expression, Ming Xuan knew that this little guy definitely didn't understand what was going on, he was really fearless, but Ming Xuan didn't bother to take care of it, and now he should think about how to get out, after all, staying in the hole is not a long-term solution, and when the leopard rushes into the hole, he won't even have a way out.
Ming Xuan walked around the cave to find a way, but it was really difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, after all, the gap in strength was here, and it could not be made up by other methods, and the beast did not have good patience, so the longer it dragged on, the more dangerous it became, and when the leopard rushed into the cave regardless of a qiē, it would be over, the more Ming Xuan thought about it, the more anxious he became, only the little tiger was still playing with a dry grass on the side.
"What to do? I don't know how much patience the leopard still has. Ming Xuan didn't dare to go to the entrance of the cave to observe the situation, and he couldn't judge the situation outside.
Ming Xuan picked up an iron sword that had long been unusable, or it should be said that it was an iron bar now, although it was useless, but it was better than nothing, Ming Xuan also picked up the little tiger that was playing on the side, in case the leopard suddenly rushed in and could not take care of it. At this time they are grasshoppers on a rope, and they have a companion when they die.
"There's no way, go out with a swagger, look for a chance to get out, you can't wait for death here. Ming Xuan simply gambled and walked straight to the entrance of the cave, and when Ming Xuan walked to the entrance of the cave, a huge leopard head also appeared at the door, and it seemed that their patience had run out......
Both sides didn't expect such a meeting, and they reacted quickly after being stunned, but the leopard jumped backwards to dodge, while Mingxuan rushed out directly to prevent being blocked in the hole, but one advance and one retreat brought full momentum to Mingxuan, and directly startled the leopard away and hid away.
Don't leave at this time, let alone when!Ming Xuan immediately ran to the side where there was no leopard ambush, at this time the leopard also reacted, if the tiger would not choose to run away at all, at this time, even the hidden one jumped out and chased straight towards Ming Xuan.
Although Ming Xuan's speed is already very fast, but compared to the leopard, it is still far from enough, and after a while, the leopard catches up, and no matter how Ming Xuan changes direction and runs, it has no effect at all for the leopard with better agility, and Ming Xuan felt completely suppressed for the first time.
In fact, Ming Xuan still has the last glimmer of hope in his heart, that is, the little tiger's parents can come in time, although his fate may still be the same, but the little tiger's fate can be saved. At this time, the little tiger also seemed to know that Ming Xuan's strength was invincible, although he was still howling, but it sounded like Ming Xuan was no longer a provocation and demonstration, but a bit of a call for help.
Soon, a leopard caught up, and even overtook Ming Xuan, wanting to stop him, but at this time, Ming Xuan must not stop, if he waited until the leopard behind him also caught up, and attacked back and forth, then there would be no chance at all.
Ming Xuan didn't slow down, he rushed directly towards the leopard, brandishing an iron sword, attacking the leopard like a mad tiger, even if he was injured, he had to kill it, the leopard obviously didn't expect Ming Xuan to be so desperate, he was taken away by his momentum and dodged his attack, Ming Xuan didn't love to fight, and continued to run forward, winning a chance for himself to breathe.
However, the obvious difference in speed made the leopard quickly catch up again, this time the leopard did not go around, and jumped up directly to bite the back of Mingxuan's neck, both fast and ruthless, Mingxuan couldn't dodge, and was directly buckled by the leopard's claws on the shoulder, but when the leopard opened his mouth to bite, Mingxuan took advantage of the situation to pounce forward, dodged a fatal bite, and also broke free from the leopard's claws, rolled forward, got up and continued to run.
His back hurt hotly, just now in order to break free from the leopard's claws, he tore off a piece of meat on Ming Xuan's shoulder, which made him suffer a lot of injuries, Ming Xuan didn't know what to do, he could only run desperately, and he didn't know where he was running or how long he could run......
Another pounce, Ming Xuan fell heavily to the ground, this time he had no way out, because he ran to the bottom of a steep mountain, there was no way out, and behind him were two fierce leopards.
Ming Xuan didn't run anymore, but just clenched the iron sword in his hand, preparing to do the final fight, even if he died, he would leave some souvenirs for the leopard.
