The rain was getting lighter and lighter, but the sky was getting darker and darker. It was as if this long night would never end.
However, everyone present knew that as long as they could endure the darkest moment before dawn, it would be their victory.
During this period, the leopard, who did not give up, launched a few more attacks. However, due to Lauder's defense, not only did the leopard return empty-handed, but it also suffered a few more minor injuries.
After an unknown amount of time, the rain finally stopped, and the east gradually lit up.
When they could see the road clearly, everyone heaved a sigh of relief and decided to continue heading out of the forest. Although it was safer to wait for the Union's reinforcements, there were seriously injured people in the team and they had to be treated as soon as possible.
Along the way, the leopard did not appear.
When everyone walked out of the forest, they were surprised to find a carriage parked at the exit of the forest.
Seeing this carriage, Lauder completely relaxed.
" That's the carriage of the Palace of the Earl."
Lauder said to the exhausted crowd.
"Please allow me to talk to that lord. Perhaps I can get help.”
After saying that, Lauder quickly ran to the car and discussed with the people in the car in a low voice.
After a while, someone jumped out of the car and followed Lauder to the crowd.
"Mr. Daley, it's great that you're fine!”
Hank said happily and took out a few bottles of medicine from his pocket.
"These are my family's medicine. Please make do with it. As for the carriage, we have to block this road to prevent the leopard from escaping, so we can't lend it to everyone.”
Daley applied the medicine Hank gave him to his wound and felt a cool sensation.
"This is no ordinary medicine. According to Lauder, this car belonged to the Palace of the Earl. Hank must have a deep relationship with the Palace of the Earl. Moreover, according to Hank and Lauder's performance just now, there must be a very strong expert in the car, strong enough to block the leopard's path alone. Unfortunately, he obviously doesn't want to see us.”
While Daley was thinking, Lauder also told the martial artists that the forest had been surrounded. The few martial artists who heard this news had mixed feelings. This damn leopard finally had nowhere to run.
"I wonder what your next step is?”
Hank asked with concern when he saw that everyone had taken care of their injuries.
"We plan to return to the town first and wait for news of this leopard.”
The few martial artists replied after discussing.
"Then I'll go back with you.”
Hank said.
"Mr. Daley, Mr. Lauder, do you plan to go back with me to rest?”
"I'll go back with everyone."
Lauder glanced at the car and said.
"No thanks."
Daley replied.
"This leopard made me suffer a lot last night. Today, I must go in and fight it again.”
"But your injuries…"
"I'm fine. It's just a small injury."
"Then…you should eat something first and catch your breath. We can go in together when the people from the association arrive.”
After thinking about it, Daley felt that it wouldn't take up much of his time, so he agreed to Hank's request.
After Hank warned Daley to be careful again, he left some food behind and brought Lauder and the other martial artists back to the town.
After a while, a group of samurai came to the edge of the forest. The samurai leading the group quickly walked to the side of the car and whispered something.
A few minutes later, the warrior seemed to have received a reply. He made a gesture, and all the warriors rushed into the forest. Daley followed them in.
The carriage remained in its original position and did not leave.
The leopard lay quietly beside a big rock, stretching its limbs.
He had just eaten half a deer and had replenished a lot of energy.
Last night's battle was still very tiring. Although he injured a few of the other party's people, he did not kill a single one. Instead, he was covered in injuries.
Judging from the commotion in the forest, there were quite a number of humans this time. They had no intention of hiding themselves and caused a commotion in the entire forest. They were obviously showing off their strength.
However, he was not stupid. Those who dared to come with such a big fanfare were definitely not easy to deal with. He had to recover his stamina first, then find an opportunity to sneak attack them. He would kill one by one.
With this thought in mind, the leopard quietly retreated into the depths of the forest.
Ma Ke sat on the ground, waving his sword. His heart was filled with regret.
After searching for a long time, they didn't even find the leopard's shadow. Therefore, they thought that the leopard was timid and let down their guard. In the end, they were immediately attacked. Unfortunately, his speed was too fast, and he probably didn't have many companions around.
After barely blocking another round of attacks from the leopard, Mark took out a whistle from his pocket and blew it hard.
Hearing the ear-piercing whistle, the leopard pounced forward, intending to finish off its opponent as soon as possible.
After blowing the whistle, Mark's mood calmed down.
As long as he could hold on for a few more minutes, his companions should be able to arrive.
Seeing that the leopard seemed to be in a hurry to get rid of him, Mark stabbed his sword at the leopard's back.
This sword attack was a must-have for attacking the enemy. If the leopard did not retreat, it would be stabbed.
Leopard Head lowered his head, allowing his opponent to open a hole in his back. He bit down on Ma Ke's shoulder.
Ma Ke only felt his entire body fly up, and then he lost consciousness.
He could not figure out what kind of deep hatred this leopard had with him. It actually wanted to kill him even though it was heavily injured when surrounded by strong enemies.
Kill one.
The leopard took a few deep breaths and quickly left the scene.
The few warriors who had rushed over had ashen faces as they looked at everything in front of them.
"What a ruthless fellow."
"It's injured."
Amidst the discussion, a warrior lit a red firework.
When the people in the forest and the carriage saw the fireworks, they were all shocked.
Someone had died.
"I should have chased it into the forest last night and killed it!”
The woman in the carriage stood up.
In an instant, a white figure rushed into the forest and quickly rushed in the direction of the fireworks.
"Someone died."
Daley thought to himself.
This leopard was very cunning. As long as one was not careful, one would be ambushed by it. Moreover, leopards could attack regardless of whether they were on the ground, on trees, or in the water. It was impossible to guard against them. They were very terrifying opponents.
Now, it should have left the killing area and set up an ambush somewhere else, waiting for its next prey.
Daley, who had been fighting with the leopard for a whole day and night, did not dare to relax at all. He carefully explored forward.
The leopard was lying on a tree, looking down at everything below.
Those humans had already advanced towards the area of the enemies they had killed. They were all very careful and focused. They were also injured, so there was no way for them to launch a surprise attack.
Looking at the speed of their search, they would probably find him before dark. At that time, there was probably no way for him to escape.
They could only fight one at a time.
The leopard, who was still searching for its target, suddenly had a flash in its eyes.
Wasn't that human the one who had fought with him for an entire night and was almost killed by him? She did not expect him to dare to enter the forest.
He was injured, and so was he. Everyone's mental state was about the same. He had the priority to launch a surprise attack. It seemed that he was the most confident opponent to deal with.
Daley, who was moving forward, suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Without thinking, he immediately fell to the ground and rolled.
A claw brushed past his shoulder.
Seeing that his sneak attack had failed, the leopard couldn't help but feel a little depressed. However, just as it was about to retreat, it saw its opponent rushing over like a madman.
If they were to entangle it, the fight would be discovered by other warriors if they were to entangle it for a short while. This leopard was too dangerous. Now was not the time to be a hero. He had to destroy it as soon as possible.
Seeing his opponent charging at him without a care for his life, the leopard didn't dodge. Instead, it charged forward and clawed at Daley's head.
Daley didn't expect that the leopard, who didn't dare to fight with all his might last night, would fight even more fiercely than him today. Much to his surprise, Daley hurriedly turned around with all his might, and the two figures passed each other.
The leopard's leg was slashed so deep that the bone could be seen. Daley's right shoulder was also slashed, and blood flowed out.
In this round, Daley was clearly at a disadvantage.
He could not move his right hand, and his sword had been sent flying. The only thing he could do now was to dodge and hold on until his comrades arrived. Fortunately, the leopard's leg was also injured, and its movements were far less agile than before.
Seeing the opportunity, the leopard frantically chased after Daley, who was rolling on the ground.
Just as the leopard thought it was about to succeed, a long arrow flew towards it from afar.
Seeing that Daley's reinforcements had arrived, the leopard turned around and wanted to escape. However, it found that there were humans blocking the way in several directions. There were even two humans standing on the tree.
"I finally caught it."
a warrior said sinisterly.
The few of them surrounded the leopard from several directions.
The panther roared in despair and turned around to charge at Daley.
"Oh no!"
The few of them rushed towards Daley with all their might.
With a swoosh, the leopard was surprised to find that the enemy, whose weapon had been knocked away by him, was holding a piece of rib bone that was shining with golden light in his left hand and stabbed deeply into his chest. He couldn't help but be stunned.
Taking advantage of the leopard's slow movement, Daley rolled and crawled, barely escaping from the leopard's claws.
Several warriors quickly surrounded the leopard, and several weapons hit the leopard at the same time.
Daley got up and pulled out the rib from the leopard's chest.
Back when they were hunting the Bear King, the three of them had each left a piece of the Beast King's rib bone as a memento. This decision was truly too wise.
The leopard could no longer move. Blood flowed from the corner of its mouth as it glared at the few of them. It tried its best to raise its claws and claw at its enemies again.
However, his injuries were too severe.
The leopard's body shook violently for a while, but it finally stopped moving. However, the eyes that stared viciously at everyone refused to close, making people shudder.
"What exactly happened that made it hate human beings so much that it was willing to sacrifice its own life to perish together with human beings?”
Daley thought to himself. The others also surrounded the leopard king in silence.
"It escaped from the circus.”
A warrior suddenly said.
"I don't know what it has experienced, but it has killed so many people. We must destroy it.”
Yes, he was a human. It had killed so many people, so he had to destroy it.
Daley silently looked at the leopard's corpse and told himself.
A brilliant purple firework lit up in the sky above the forest. The white figure that was moving quickly in the forest suddenly stopped and turned around to run out of the forest.
The mission was over, and the Panther King was successfully eliminated.
