The next morning, the ignorant people entered the forest again after thinking that they were fully prepared.
The forest was bustling in the morning. The animals had begun their normal lives. The forest was full of vitality. All kinds of sounds echoed in the forest. The sunlight shone through the leaves and sprinkled on the ground, adding camouflage to the grass.
The leopard quietly moved in the forest. The stripes on its body were very similar to the patterns formed by sunlight through the forest. It walked quietly, so it was difficult to notice it if one did not pay special attention.
This was the protection bestowed upon it by the heavens, making it one of the strongest hunters in the forest.
A team of hunters with hounds were advancing quickly in the forest. The hounds stopped from time to time to sniff the traces on the ground, then quickly ran in a direction.
The three martial artists followed the hounds closely, afraid of losing their tracks.
Suddenly, there was a wail. A hound's head was smashed by the leopard's claws.
"It's there!"
The three martial artists who immediately rushed over took out all kinds of weapons that were stained with poison and pounced.
As long as it was injured, the poison would take effect immediately. Even if he was injured or even killed, it was worth it. He had to avenge his companions!
With a few bangs, all the weapons hit the leopard's body. However, the few people who attacked the leopard had a very bad feeling. The weapons did not cut into the leopard's skin at all.
Seeing the golden light suddenly appear on the leopard's body, the three of them finally understood why the leopard, who used to run away when it saw people, was so proactive today.
However, it was too late.
The leopard waved its paw, and a person flew out with a bloody light. After it landed, it made a sharp turn. The two martial artists had yet to turn around.
The leopard rushed forward again and bit off a person's neck from behind.
When the third person saw this, he immediately ran out of the forest without looking back.
This leopard had already evolved into a leopard king. It was not something a martial artist could deal with. There was no hope of revenge. What he had to do now was to immediately inform the people who did not have the time to enter the forest. He had them go back and inform the association to find stronger experts to destroy it. Only then could he avenge his companions.
However, the speed of a martial artist could not be compared to a leopard that was used to living in the forest.
A few minutes later, a scream rang out in the forest.
At noon, a carriage full of passengers drove into Laru Town. Some of the passengers got off the carriage and rushed to the town to find a hotel. Most of them just ate something in a nearby shop before rushing back to the carriage and continuing to their destination.
An unusually handsome young man walked into the Adventurer's Association and began to carefully read the mission list.
"Capture a leopard alive?"
The young man shook his head and continued to search for other missions, but he did not find anything interesting.
"Forget it, I'll take this. However, the mission was released the day before yesterday. The leopard had probably been captured by now.”
After giving the receptionist a few copper coins, the young man obtained some information.
Although the leopard was not very strong, it seemed to be very smart. Several teams were beaten up by it, and many people died.
"An interesting leopard."
The young man signed his name on the mission list. Daley.
"I have a strange feeling."
Hank said to Alan as he looked at the marks on the ground.
"I feel a chill on my back, as if I have a bad feeling. It was just like…just like the feeling he had before he was almost caught by his sister.”
"You didn't do anything to let Miss down.”
Alan thought carefully for a moment.
"Besides, I didn't do anything wrong. Haven't we been cultivating these days?”
"Yes, I am."
Hank said doubtfully.
"So I'm sure it's not a problem on my sister's side. Is there anything dangerous here that can scare me?”
Isn't this your family's park?"
Alan said helplessly.
"Don't you know what's in your own park?”
"It's strange because I understand.”
Hank said.
"Elephants and hippopotamuses have been tamed. This piece of land has been strictly investigated and there are no mithril mines at all. Therefore, the possibility of a beast king is cut off. What is that thing that can threaten us, two Level Three martial artists and a warrior?”
"Leopard?"
"Are you joking? A leopard that is equivalent to a Level Three Martial Artist can threaten us?”
"Anyway, it's never wrong to be careful."
Alan gestured to Lauder, who was following behind him.
"Your premonition of danger has always been very accurate. This can be considered an unexpected gain from Miss's long-term education of you.”
"Look at this footprint, it went that way.”
Hank changed the topic and continued to search for traces on the ground.
The leopard quietly hid in a tree and looked down at the three strange humans in front of it.
The three people were completely different from the people who had come to live with him before. They were not in a hurry to look for traces of him. Two of them patiently looked at the footprints on the ground and the claw marks on the trees. After finding the traces, the two of them gathered together and muttered something. They were not on guard at all. The third human was wrapped in a jar and looked around vigilantly.
The leopard carefully estimated the distance. When it felt that the time was right, it suddenly jumped down from the tree.
Alan saw a shadow pounce down from the tree. Without thinking, he immediately waved his shield in front of Hank. Hank turned to the side and slashed down with his sword.
With a bang, Alan was sent flying by a golden claw, and his shield was distorted. Hank's sword slashed at the leopard's body. His hand was numb from the shock, but he could not cut in at all.
The enemy's armor and weapons were actually not broken? Although the leopard was surprised by the sturdiness of the enemy's equipment, it did not stop. It turned around and swung its claws at Hank, who had lost his balance.
Just as he was about to succeed, the leopard suddenly felt a hint of warning. Then, he saw a spear shining with golden light stabbing towards his head.
A human who could use golden light!
The leopard could not be bothered to kill the human who had slashed at it. It twisted its body forcefully and dodged the bullet. At the same time, its claws brushed past Hank's arm.
Hank, who was bleeding, quickly retreated to where Alan had fallen. Lauder flashed and stood between them and the leopard.
Looking at the human in front of him who was shining with golden light, the leopard let out a low roar and slowly retreated into the forest.
Lauder also retreated step by step towards Hank's position. However, after taking a few steps back, he suddenly charged forward and stabbed the spear in his hand in a direction above his head.
With a crisp crack, a branch was broken by Lauder. A leopard's shadow flashed on the top of the tree and disappeared into the forest.
Lauder slowly withdrew his spear and carefully looked at the few hairs on the tip of the spear. He shook his head and returned to Hank and the other two.
"Are your injuries serious?"
"I'm fine."
Hank's arm was only scratched and looked bloody, but it was nothing serious. On the other hand, Alan had a few broken ribs and a broken arm.
"Fortunately, Young Master, the equipment you brought are all Mithril equipment. Although you can't unleash the power of Mithril, it can more or less protect you. Otherwise, Alan would be dead for sure.”
After confirming their injuries, Lauder heaved a sigh of relief.
"We have to get back to town immediately.”
"Alright."
Hank carried Aaron, and Lauder covered the rear. The three of them carefully retreated out of the forest.
"Damn it, the notice clearly said that it was an ordinary leopard. Why did we find a leopard king?”
Hank mumbled as he walked.
"Perhaps it was already prepared to break through. Now that it's being hunted by so many people, evolving is only natural.”
Lauder observed his surroundings as he answered.
"Young Master, after you leave the forest, immediately rush back to the town to inform Miss and the association. I don't think the Panther King will leave this forest for the time being. I have to go in and rescue the other adventurers as soon as possible.”
"Yes."
Hank nodded heavily.
In the entire forest, other than Lauder, there was no other warrior. After all, when dealing with a leopard, it would not be a big problem for a few martial artists to work together and be careful. However, they did not expect their opponent to be a leopard king. If no one had reinforcements, the others would all die in this forest.
In the afternoon, the three of them finally walked out of the forest.
