At this moment, on that tall mountain osmanthus tree, there is a fierce leopard lurking.

It lay quietly on a thick branch that stretched outward, its soft body like a snake clinging to the trunk, its huge front paws were ready to pounce down from the tree at any time, its sharp claws stretched out its claw sheaths, firmly grasping the bark, and its two fierce eyes stared at Yuanba dozens of steps away.

This is a male adult leopard living in the West Inner Garden, at this time it is the season of its estrus competition for females, it failed to compete for females, and was expelled from the West Inner Garden by other male leopards, it has divided this area into its own territory, generally it comes out in the early morning or at night, but the fragrance of Yuanba roast pheasant attracts it.

Yuanba once killed a fierce mastiff cleanly, because it was a dog, no matter how vicious, it was still a dog psychologically. But the beast in front of him was a leopard, with a body length of more than five feet, and it seemed to be one hundred and fifty or sixty pounds.

Yuan Ba couldn't help but take two steps back, his heart was pounding, and he was extremely nervous, this is the money leopard second only to the tiger, can he be able to defeat it? If he can't be defeated, he will be bitten to death.

"Calm down! ”

He whispered to himself, even if the force value could not be compared to it, but the intelligence value exceeded it, Yuan Ba quickly thought about the strategy of killing the leopard, and in just an instant, he had already thought of three sets of strategies.

Yuan Ba pulled out an arrow from the quiver on his back, slowly raised his bow, pulled the bowstring, squinted his eyes and slowly aimed at the leopard's head dozens of steps away.

The pupils of the leopard contracted violently, shrinking into a line, staring at Yuanba's bow and arrows, flashing with a terrifying fierce light, the leopard generally does not take the initiative to attack people, unless it is attacked by people first, although Yuanba broke into its territory, but if Yuanba can leave in time, it may not attack, it is only hostile now, and there is a line between hostility and attack.

The difference between this line is a kind of hesitation, and it is still in this state of hesitation, but it is this hesitation that makes the money leopard suffer a big loss.

A long arrow shot like lightning, the arrow was strong, the leopard was taken aback, turned his head, and tried to dodge the arrow, but the arrow was too fast, although the forehead dodged, the eye did not dodge, 'poof!', the long arrow actually hit the leopard's left eye, blood splashed.

The roar of the leopard in the mountains and forests suddenly sounded, startling a large number of birds and birds, the leopard attacked wildly, pounced on the laurel tree, and swooped at the Yuan Ba desperately, it hated this human who had invaded its territory, and it wanted to tear him to pieces.

Yuanba's second arrow 'whoosh!' landed at it, and the powerful long arrow took it in the right eye, but this time the leopard was prepared, and with a flick of its head, it dodged the arrow, and leaped forward, and pounced on him from a few feet away.

Yuanba threw away the longbow, pulled out the knife and slashed at it head-on, the knife is as fast as a flying shadow, this is the first move in the thirteen styles of Zhang Xutuo's knife method, called 'splitting the mountain', it is very simple, but it condenses the power of splitting Huashan, because the force is controlled very weirdly, it will make the opponent's eyes produce an illusion, as if the knife is not fast, you can calmly dodge or resist, but in fact, when the opponent reacts, the knife has already split the door.

But the beast that hurt one eye and was full of anger did not seem to have this effect, its reaction was faster and more agile than a human, the golden leopard turned its head in the air, dodged the killing blow, and in an instant it was in front of Yuan Ba's eyes, its front paws pounced on his shoulder, and the white canine teeth opened and bit Yuan Ba's throat.

The effect of Yuanba's three-year foundation building and hard training is also vividly reflected at this moment, the flexibility of his body is far more than that of ordinary people, not waiting for the leopard's claw to hold down the shoulder, his body turned back, like a bent wicker, the whole body bent into a semicircle, so that the leopard also pounced in the air, and at the same moment, his left foot kicked upwards violently, just kicking on the leopard egg.

The money leopard roared in pain, and before he could use the stunt of the leopard's tail scissors, he was kicked over a heel fight and fell heavily into the river, and this kick was successful, so that Yuan Qing's mentality changed, he could deal with this leopard, and this money leopard was no longer a beast that would kill him, but would be a heavy hundreds of hanging money.

Yang Si's father said that a good leopard skin is worth at least 300 yuan, and 300 yuan is their family's living expenses for five years.

He jumped into the water with the leopard almost at the same time, this was originally his second plan, to fight the leopard in the water, the leopard will swim is unquestionable, but it is not a fish, it is impossible to fight itself in the water.

A man and a leopard fell into the river, people are bold, leopards have been afraid, the leopard was defeated by its kind yesterday, and today it was injured by humans, two heavy setbacks made its ambition quickly fade, it also realized that it was not the opponent of this little human, as soon as it entered the water, it swam to the opposite bank, to escape.

But it didn't swim out of a zhang, but its tail was grabbed by Yuan Ba, and it was dragged back, and the money leopard was annoyed and ashamed, and turned back and bit it violently.

Yuan Ba was waiting for this moment, when the leopard turned back to bite, he had already dived into the water, just like a thousand times in the water to practice the knife, swinging the knife to the leopard's softest heart stabbing away, he used a barrier knife, the front end was sharp, and a knife pierced the heart of the leopard.

The leopard roared and struggled in the water, and gradually, its body stopped moving, and the blood had stained the river red......

When Yuan Ba dragged the golden leopard weighing more than 160 catties ashore, he was so tired that he was out of breath, and fifteen bright pheasant feathers were still fluttering in the air, but at this time they were really light as a feather in Yuan Ba's eyes.

An hour later, a boy who looked like he was 12 years old carrying a big leopard with a body length of more than five feet and a weight of more than 160 pounds appeared on the streets of the metropolis, which immediately caused a sensation in the whole city, and countless people gathered around to watch.

The metropolitan city is the east market of the Tianwu Dynasty, and the west market is called Liren City at this time, most of the money sold in the metropolitan market are luxury goods, all kinds of silk and satin, jewelry, jade, gold, silver and jade, etc., everything, mainly for the princes and nobles, and Liren City is to sell ordinary tea, rice, oil and salt, which is the necessities of life.

Of course, Yuanba's money leopard can also be sold in Liren City, but he wants to sell it at a high price, he doesn't want to be exploited by merchants, he wants to see if he can meet rich princes and nobles in the metropolitan city, and the price is definitely more than three hundred yuan.

The merchants and customers in the East Market have surrounded him three floors inside and three layers outside, and there are hundreds of people, most of them watching the excitement, but some people are tempted.

"Xiaolang, where did this leopard hit?" asked someone with good deeds.

Of course, Yuanba didn't dare to say that it was the north of the city, where it was the West Inner Garden, this leopard was likely to be a royal free-range, a cheetah in the West Inner Garden, and he was accused but was caught.

The emperor has just decreed that whoever steals a piece of money is a thief, and he poachs an imperial leopard, so he must not cut off his head?

"Hehe! I hunted it in Zhongnan Mountain. ”

Zhongnan Mountain is Qinling, and naturally no one said anything about the cheetah in Qinling, but everyone didn't believe that this little boy could hunt a big leopard, and there was a lot of discussion.

At this time, a shopkeeper squeezed in, he is the shopkeeper of Baibao Zhai, surnamed Wu, he looked the leopard up and down, and saw that the leopard's left eye was injured, but it did not hurt the fur, and the fatal part was in the heart, which means that you can get a perfect leopard skin, which is very rare.

His eyes lit up, and he asked Yuanqing, "Young man, how about selling this leopard to me for three hundred hanging money?"

Someone next to him coaxed, "Shopkeeper Wu, you are from a jewelry shop, what do you want leopard skins for?"

"Go, go, go, don't mess around, I'll hang up in the lobby. ”

Yuan Ba shook his head, "Three hundred hangs are not for sale!"

Although Yang Siye said that a leopard skin can be sold for 300 hangs, but his leopard skin is flawless, there must be more than 300 hangs, and there is also leopard meat? Leopard bones can also be used in medicine, how could he agree.

Yesterday, the shopkeeper Wu went to He Ruobi's house to send jewelry, and overheard the housekeeper of He Ruobi say that He Ruobi's old mother will have a seventieth birthday next month, and He Ruobi wants to send a good tiger skin or money leopard skin to his mother as a birthday gift, and ask him to help pay attention to it, if the quality is good, you can offer ten taels of gold.

So Shopkeeper Wu took a fancy to this flawless leopard skin at a glance.

In fact, the leopard skin worth three hundred hangs is clouded leopard skin, there are many in the Qinling Mountains, but there are very few large leopards, the leopard that Yuan Ba hit is a precious money leopard stocked by the royal family of Xineiyuan, it is an adult male old leopard, of course, it is rare, the market price of this kind of money leopard skin is at least five or six hundred hangs, and there are precious leopard bones, which are also expensive.

It's just that he bullied Yuanba at a young age, so he wanted to buy it at a low price.

"The three hundred and fifty hangings, counting the leopard bones and meat money, are okay now!"

The bottom limit of Yuanba is four hundred hangs, and he was about to make an offer, when at this moment, someone in the distance shouted, "The person in front of you dodge, don't be in charge!"
