"Here!"
A martial artist noticed the leopard's figure and excitedly told his companion.
A few people quickly surrounded him.
"I want him alive."
The captain reminded his teammates.
"I know."
The leopard that was surrounded stood up all its fur and roared in a low voice. It pounced on the person who looked the weakest.
Anyway, there was no way out. He could only fight. One by one, they would die.
That's right. He had been hiding and running all the way, but in the end, he still couldn't escape the fate of being discovered. Even if he escaped this time, he might not be able to escape next time. He was the king of the forest. Was he going to run and hide forever until he was killed or captured, locked in a cage, and continue to live that humiliating life?
Absolutely not!
Then, he would die in battle.
Seeing the leopard pouncing towards him, the man did not panic. He slashed the long sword in his hand at the leopard's claws.
The leopard retracted its claw in the air and sped up, rushing past the man.
"Oh no!"
Just as the people surrounding the leopard were feeling sorry for its escape, they realized that the leopard did not run away. Instead, it turned around and clawed at its companion's waist. That person did not expect the leopard to counterattack at all and did not have time to prepare for it.
"Be careful!"
As the captain shouted, the man pounced forward and rolled sideways. The leopard's claws grazed his shoulder, leaving a long wound. Blood spurted out.
The leopard's attack was successful. When he saw the other three people surrounding him, he immediately turned around and jumped into the dense forest.
The other three helped their companions up. After discussing in a low voice, they ignored their companions 'objections and turned around to walk out of the forest.
Yes, the safety of his companions came first. As for the trial and the prize money, he would wait until he ensured the safety of his companions. At most, he would send his companions out of the forest before entering.
Relying on the unexpected counterattack, the leopard caught the pursuers off guard and injured several people in a row. Although their comrades had come to their rescue in time and did not achieve much, it was already a good result.
The group of people had to take care of their injured companions and did not have time to care about themselves for a while. The crisis in front of them was temporarily alleviated. However, it wouldn't be long before they would come back again after making better preparations. At that time, he didn't know if he could deal with them.
The sky gradually darkened. Several teams of hunters met outside the forest. After some communication, they brought their companions back to the town, planning to come back when they were ready.
Night finally enveloped the entire forest. It was a cloudy night. The moon hid behind the thick clouds, not bringing its gentleness to the ground. A few bonfires flickered in the darkness, some bright and some dark, scattered in the forest.
"Something is wrong."
A warrior climbed up a big tree and observed for a while before jumping down and walking to his companion who was warming himself by the fire.
"What's wrong?"
"There are too few people."
The person who climbed up the tree said.
"According to our investigation before we came, there are definitely more people here.”
"Perhaps some teams saw that it was dark and did not want to stay in the forest and go back.”
Another person answered indifferently.
"But they wouldn't have gone back so many times."
The person from before frowned.
"Something must have happened that we don't know about.”
"But before we came here, we had already done a thorough investigation. The information in the Palace of the Earl clearly stated that as long as we don't provoke hippos and elephants here, it's safe. I guess some of the people who left the team went to provoke the elephant.”
"But there shouldn't be that many. Could it be that leopard?"
"You mean the leopard that runs away when it sees people? With its behavior, it could only wait for death. How dare it hurt people? To be honest, if it didn't run away and fought us face to face, I would admire it.”
"It's not stupid to fight us alone. Why don't you try being alone? Let's see if it won't bite you to death."
The guy who was condemned by his companion rubbed his head and smiled embarrassedly.
The few people who were chatting happily did not notice that a dangerous shadow was quietly approaching.
"I'm going to pee."
One of the warriors might have drunk too much water. After saying that, he walked towards a big tree.
Just as he walked to a tree and pulled down his pants, there was a slight vibration above his head. A claw was slashing at his neck.
After that, he heard his companions 'screams, followed by angry roars, and then nothing else.
The remaining people in the team surrounded their dead companions, their eyes burning with anger.
"We can't let it go!"
The few of them, who were blinded by anger, rushed in the direction where the leopard had disappeared. They no longer considered any danger or the mission of capturing the leopard alive. They only wanted to kill that damn guy.
After the leopard's attack succeeded, it immediately dived into the deep forest and climbed up a tree, looking around vigilantly.
One was killed.
The leopard was filled with inexplicable pleasure.
They finally understood the feeling of losing someone important.
However, this time, they had formed a death feud. He had once seen a powerful tiger. Because it had eaten a few humans, it had been chased by human experts who had rushed over continuously until it was killed.
Now, no matter where he ran to, the fate that awaited him would definitely be the same as that tiger.
However, what did it matter? Ever since he escaped, this day was destined to come. No, from the moment he was attacked by humans, everything was destined.
If he didn't become their slave, he would fight them to the death.
Seeing the humans approaching, the leopard turned around and disappeared into the dark night.
Meng Te quickly rushed in the direction where the leopard disappeared, ignoring his companions 'shouts.
Angie was his childhood friend. Ever since the two of them went on adventures together, they had never been separated. After experiencing so much, both of them were on the verge of breaking through. Unexpectedly, one of them fell. Moreover, he did not die in a battle with a powerful monster, but was inexplicably ambushed by this leopard.
He had to take revenge!
Seeing the shadow of the leopard flash in front of him, Monteja rushed over, completely unaware that his companion was getting further and further away from him.
Meng Te, who was chasing after the leopard with all his might, suddenly lost track of the leopard and stopped in his tracks. Just as he stopped in his tracks, a shadow pounced on him from the side. Meng Te roared and slashed at the shadow.
When the leopard saw its opponent coming at it, it turned around and pounced from another direction. Meng Te's sword missed. He hurriedly turned around and swung his sword.
Meng Te thought that his sword would hit the leopard, but he didn't expect that the leopard would suddenly stop. Meng Te, who had miscalculated his opponent's movements, lost his balance. At this moment, the leopard suddenly accelerated and rushed forward.
Knowing that he could no longer retract his sword, Meng Te turned around and kicked the leopard's head.
The leopard lowered its head and dodged the kick. Its speed did not decrease, and its claws swiped at Meng Te's supporting leg.
Meng Te kicked down hard, intending to fight the leopard to the death.
The leopard rolled to the side and dodged the kick. However, Meng Te's supporting leg was also lightly scratched by the claw, and blood flowed out.
Meng Te immediately calmed down and got into position, waiting for the leopard's next attack. Seeing that his attack had missed, the leopard immediately jumped onto a tree and disappeared with a loud sound.
"It seems that it saw that the ambush failed and that it had support, so it ran away.”
Thinking of this, Meng Te looked at his companions running towards him and smiled. His body slowly relaxed.
Hyde watched as Meng Te smiled in his direction and put down his sword. However, when a leopard pounced on his head, his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
He desperately opened his mouth, wanting to shout something, but his lungs felt like they were about to explode. He couldn't say anything, and could only rush towards Meng Te as fast as he could.
Meng Te looked at his companions 'expressions and seemed to sense something. He looked up and saw a big mouth biting at him.
The three of them surrounded Meng Te's body with ugly expressions. No one said a word. Meng Te's neck had already been bitten off. There was absolutely no way to save him.
"This can't go on."
Hyde said dryly.
"This leopard is much more cunning than we thought. If we continue like this, we will be killed by it sooner or later.”
"Then are we just going to let it go?”
Another team member asked unwillingly.
"Of course not."
Hyde replied fiercely.
"How can we not take revenge for Meng Te and Angie? We'll be on guard tonight and think of a way to get out of this forest tomorrow. We'll immediately go buy some poison and come back to kill this leopard. A Martial Artist wanted to capture this leopard alive? Heh, I'm afraid it won't be that easy. It's too dangerous to fight it at night. Let's not split up tonight in case we get ambushed again.”
The leopard watched from afar as the three people stopped chasing him. Instead, they lit a fire and gathered together to be on guard. Knowing that he would not have another chance, he swung his tail and sneaked in another direction.
There was not only one team here tonight. It was better to find another team to attack.
The moon was still hiding behind the clouds, and the wind was blowing in the forest, causing the branches to shake as if the Grim Reaper was beckoning. Unfortunately, no one in the forest could understand what the swaying branches were trying to convey to them.
