Chapter 12: Poor little one

The biting night wind in the mountains had no effect on Zhao Hao, who was immersed in a state of cultivation, and the slightest bit of vitality absorbed from the forest was circulated in the meridians according to the running route of Aoki Duzhong, and gradually improved Zhao Hao's physique. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Niu Er was sleeping soundly under the cart, next to the horses, and the snoring was particularly loud. Before you know it, it is already the middle of the moon, and there are many shadows in the mountains and forests.

Seeing that it was almost time to change shifts, Zhao Hao poked Niu Er under the car with the tail of the gun, only to hear Niu Er muttering and turning over. Zhao Hao couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and his subordinates added a little more strength, and finally woke up the successor.

When Niu Er got up with sleepy eyes, under the cover of the moonlight, a female leopard who was tracking had already discovered the location of the convoy.

The female leopard stared at the figure on the top of the cart, and from the carriage came the familiar smell of her partner and the smell of blood. At this time, the little guy in the mouth of the female leopard was already asleep, and before preparing to attack, the mother had to settle her young son.

Soon the female leopard found a tree hole in the surrounding trees. When the female leopard climbed along the trunk of the tree to the entrance of the cave, the breath of the beast instantly woke up the owner of the cave, and a big furry tail quickly flashed out of the hole, and in the blink of an eye, it slipped down the branch to another big tree.

Due to the slightly narrow entrance to the hole, it was obviously impossible to enter with the size of a baby leopard, and the sharp claws of the female leopard came in handy at this time, and a large enough space was quickly prepared for the young.

The little guy in a daze was carefully placed in the tree hole, and the female leopard, who had no worries for the time being, jumped down lightly, and ran towards the car where Zhao Hao was under the cover of night.

The meat pads on the soles of the female leopard's feet made it almost impossible to make a sound when she ran, and at this moment Niu Er and Zhao Hao were on shift, and both of them ignored the danger that was close at hand.

I saw a shadow under the moonlight suddenly rising from the ground, rushing straight to Zhao Hao's back, Niu Er, who was facing Zhao Hao, instantly stared at him, pushed Zhao Hao out of the car, and at the same time rolled off the car.

Zhao Hao didn't notice it for a while, and was thrown all over his body, but he heard a loud roar in his ears: "There are leopards, be careful!"

The shadow on the car had been exposed in the moonlight, and the speckled fur and sharp teeth in the mouth indicated the identity of the attacker, and the condescending avenger pounced on Niu Er, who was screaming.

Niu Er's roar had already woken up some people in the col, and Zhao Hao, who had been reminded, also saw the figure of the pounce clearly. Niu Er danced the only weapon in his hand, barely resisting the attack of the female leopard, and the wooden barrel instantly left deep claw marks.

Because the carts were interlocking together, Zhao Hao quickly climbed into a cart next to him, held the spear tightly and stabbed at the female leopard with the advantage of height.

The nimble avenger seemed to sense the murderous intent behind him, and struggled to twist his body, staggering the shot that Zhao Hao was determined to get.

Facing the female leopard, Niu Er was almost in a desperate situation, and the dancing spear was about to break under the sharp claws of the female leopard, and Niu Er's body would directly face the sharp claws.

The spear that broke through the air pierced into the body of the female leopard, and Zhao Hao's attack from behind finally had an effect. The spear head that penetrated deep into the body instantly spread the pain throughout the female leopard's body, and the unbearable roar woke up more people.

Zhao Hao, who was located at a high place, could already see many figures running towards him, and the one who ran at the front was vaguely the team leader Zhao Gao.

"Hurry up and get a few people to bring the rope net!" Sure enough, it was Zhao Gao's familiar voice.

The resting horses were frightened by the smell of the beasts, but fortunately the tethered stakes were firmly laid, so that the frightened horses did not rush into the col. Otherwise, in this black light, I don't know how many people will die under the hooves of horses.

But the commotion of the horses still affected the progress of the search for the rope nets, and in such a dim and panicked situation, it was not easy to find the cart where the rope nets were stored.

The barrel of the bull's second hand finally disconnected, and a sharp claw took the opportunity to reach into his chest.

Niu Er took a sharp step back, and then his whole body fell backwards, narrowly dodging the fatal blow.

Several torches were thrown over Niu Er at the avenger who was pounced, and one of them smashed right on the leopard's head, and the splashed sparks fell into the eyes of the mother leopard, causing her to temporarily lose her normal vision.

After Zhao Hao withdrew the spear, the strength of the female leopard's whole body seemed to flow from that wound, and the beast's intuition made it eager to get out of the current unfavorable situation. The Avengers turned and jumped over the cart, ready to flee back into the forest.

At this time, around the exit of the mountain pass, a pair of green eyes suddenly appeared in the night, and experienced team members knew that it was a pack of wolves from the mountains.

These creatures have always been in groups, and they are more terrifying than the beasts that act alone, especially at night, when their attacks are more stealthy and ferocious.

The female leopard, who had just escaped from humans, was now in an even more dangerous situation.

Under normal circumstances, wolves will not take the initiative to attack leopards, in the mountains and forests, leopards are not weaker than wild wolves, and they have one more climbing ability than wild wolves, and they can escape from trees when they are unfavorable.

At present, the smell of blood emitted by the female leopard after being injured has completely irritated the wolves. The female leopard, surrounded by wolves, landed at a distance from the nearest tree, which made her chance of escape even smaller.

In order to prevent the possible attack of the wolves, in addition to preparing weapons, the people who were about to sit and watch the wolf fight also took a lot of firewood and arranged a flaming defense line along the carriage.

The wolves circled around the injured she-leopard, and as the first wolf howled, several wild wolves tentatively kept getting closer. The female leopard lunged towards one of them, leaving several deep blood marks on the other's body at once.

Several other wolves took the opportunity to sneak up, their sharp claws cutting through the she-leopard's fur, oozing blood staining the pretty spots. One of them was so bold that he even tore off a piece of flesh the size of a palm.

After one attempt, the wolves began to wait patiently for the opponent's mistake, and the female leopard, who had lost too much blood, had lost the strength to take the initiative to attack.

After several temptations, the wolves finally swarmed up, and the female leopard was covered with tightly biting wild wolves, and after finally biting the throat of a wolf, it was finally torn to pieces by the wolves.

A leopard apparently could not satisfy the appetite of the wolves, and they began to look for loopholes around the carriage, and the commotion of the horses behind the carriage did not stop, but the flames in front of the cart kept them from attacking until dawn.

As the sun rose, the wolves retreated into the jungle, and everyone's tense nerves relaxed.

When Zhao Gao arranged for everyone to pack up the carriage and prepare to leave, Zhao Hao suddenly got a reminder from the remnant soul, "The spirit of that leopard has not dissipated yet, you can find a chance to go over and have a look." ”

Zhao Hao took advantage of the fact that everyone was busy tidying up the carriage, and walked to the place where the female leopard died last night, only to see a skeleton that had been exposed, and only the head of the leopard was slightly intact.

He carefully put his left hand on the leopard's head, and a little spirit jumped from the leopard's head into Zhao Hao's eyebrows.

In Zhao Hao's sea of knowledge, the spirit of this leopard was still wrapped in a halo, but surprisingly, the effect of the halo on this spirit was very small.

The remnant soul told Zhao Hao that this may be because the leopard's obsession after death was too deep, so that the residual consciousness and the spirit had been completely mixed, and if you want to eliminate the residual consciousness in it, you must first find a way to complete its obsession.

Zhao Hao said that this is a completely unsolvable problem, how can he know what an unfulfilled wish a dead leopard has, let alone fulfill this wish.

He communicated with the remnant soul whether to give up this group of spirits altogether, but the remnant soul told Zhao Hao that the foreign spirits that had entered the sea of absorber consciousness had no way to get rid of them again except for being absorbed.

This answer hit Zhao Hao deeply, could it be that from now on, this group of spirits will become permanent residents of his own knowledge of the sea.

When the team set off again, the listless Zhao Hao was in stark contrast to the excited Niu Er beside him.

In order to pass the boring schedule, Niu Er, at the instigation of everyone, began to tell the story of the beginning of last night's incident.

Zhao Gao, who was patrolling back and forth, did not stop this, but only walked over to remind everyone when the tone of the discussion was too high, and he knew very well that everyone needed to relieve the tension caused by the two consecutive distresses yesterday.

And the listless Zhao Hao, in Zhao Gao's opinion, is just that the young man didn't get enough sleep last night.

The little one, who had been put in the tree hole by his mother last night, had woken up, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself in a very strange environment, and he couldn't help but yawn in confusion, and the hole was full of fruit crushed by himself.

It sniffed the scent, then tried to put the broken flesh in its mouth, and the little one's baby teeth were obviously not used to the sourness of the flesh, and immediately spit it out.

The leopard is really not suitable for vegetarianism, and it has not been weaned yet.

It cautiously poked its head out of the hollow of the tree, but could not find its mother. At this time, the listless Zhao Hao was passing under the tree, absorbing the essence of the female leopard, and he invisibly exuded a familiar aura that made the little guy in the tree hole above his head.

In the case of Zhao Hao's continued distraction, a hair ball fell from the sky and fell on his head with a snap, and the dizzy Zhao Hao pulled off the "unknown falling object" from his head, and one man and one beast suddenly stared at him.

The squirrel that had returned home in the hollow of the tree above his head found that the food he had stored for many days had been destroyed, and he chirped angrily.

The morning breeze is blowing, and it is a new day in the mountains and forests.
