Chapter 1,397 Cloud-piercing Leopard

"It's all our fault, otherwise..."

Zhao Xinyu shook his head, "I can't blame you for this. Jiao Hongzhuo is too cunning. Under normal circumstances, he would never come over. He thinks you don't have any help this time."

"After this time, it will be even harder to find opportunities to kill him."

"Every step of the way, there will eventually be a chance. Don't have any burden. I will give you medicine after I go back. You will be able to fully recover in two months at most. By the way, the water in the lake also has recovery functions. You can use the lake water to bathe later. .”

In the cave, Zhao Xinyu asked Chiyu, closed his eyes and felt the outside. He once again disguised himself as a ghost doctor and put on the metal mask. He hoped that Jiao Hongzhuo and the Japanese had not left.

Outside the cave, Zhao Xinyu looked at the sky, and then Jin Hen's low voice came, "Jin Hen, those people"

"They left two days ago."

Zhao Xinyu couldn't help but curse, but he couldn't help it, "How long does it take for me to enter the space."

"Six days."

Zhao Xinyu shook his head. This time he really took advantage of the Japanese. What he regretted most was that he did not kill Jiao Hongzhuo with his own hands.

"There's nothing going on in the village."

"No. I told Xiao Teng and the others that you had something to do in the mountains."

"Let's go for a walk." Zhao Xinyu didn't even have the desire to go into the mountains this year because he was too busy in the past few years and was in Wuyou Valley. But now that he is here and his family knows that he is in the mountains, he is not in a hurry. Going back, I plan to walk in the mountains to see if I can find any strange species.

After walking out for a few meters, Zhao Xinyu looked around, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He discovered that he had never been to this area before.

After autumn, the Liuling Mountains are all golden, and green can only appear in the primitive mountain forests. Walking in the golden Liuling Mountains, Zhao Xinyu habitually looks at every species in the area he passes.

In one day, not even a single interesting herb was found, not to mention new species, which made Zhao Xinyu very disappointed.

In the past, when entering Liulang Mountain, even if there were no rare species in any direction, at least many medicinal herbs could be encountered, and several species that were not found in the space could be seen.

In the evening, as before, Zhao Xinyu had a barbecue, but this time there was no Black Wind around, only Jin Hen and a group of green wolves in space.

After eating barbecue, Zhao Xinyu transformed himself into an ordinary mountaineer. He sat in front of the tent, enjoying the cool autumn wind and looking at the stars in the sky. Zhao Xinyu quickly blended into the thick night. .

Suddenly, a faint beast roar shocked Zhao Xinyu. He looked into the distance with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

He has been in and out of Liuling Mountain since he was a child. After obtaining Hongmeng Space, he stayed in Liuling Mountain for many days at a time, so he was very familiar with the animals in Liuling Mountain.

He has seen green wolves, wild boars, and yellow sheep. The green wolves in Hongshiya and Xihanling, and the mutton and pork on people's tables originally came from Liulang Mountain.

But he dared to say that he had never heard the beast roar just now, which made him couldn't help but cast his eyes on Jin Hen and Qing Lang.

"Boss, this should be a kind of mountain leopard." A green wolf sent a message to Zhao Xinyu.

Zhao Xinyu's heart was slightly shocked. He had been in Liuling Mountain for a long time. Although he dared not say that he had visited all of Liuling Mountain, he had never seen a leopard. Now he heard that there was a mountain leopard in the mountain. Surprise him.

Seeing Zhao Xinyu's surprised look, Qinglang thought for a while, "There was indeed a kind of mountain leopard in the mountains before, but it disappeared decades ago due to excessive hunting by people."

Zhao Xinyu's mind flashed, and a name appeared in his mind, the North China leopard, a leopard that once lived all over Pingcheng. However, in recent decades, the North China leopard has become extinct in the Pingcheng area.

Until now, many animal experts have been searching in Pingcheng, hoping to find this extinct species, but there seems to be no report of finding the North China leopard.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xinyu regained his energy. If the North China leopard reappears on Liuling Mountain, it will also be a success for Hongshiya.

There are many species in space now, and he has been thinking of ways to take them out. If the North China leopard appears, that will be a good start.

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Zhao Xinyu packed up the tent, Jin Hen couldn't help but shake his head, and a group of green wolves widened their eyes, looking at the boss who kept them transforming.

In a steep mountain forest, Zhao Xinyu heard the roar of beasts again. He looked at the green wolves. The green wolves understood, and they quickly disappeared into the thick night.

What left Zhao Xinyu speechless was that there were existences such as Qinglang and Jinhen who had evolved into strange beasts. They kept chasing the roar of the beasts, but until a flash of orange appeared in the east, he didn't even see the shadow of the mountain leopard.

When the beast roared again, Zhao Xinyu heard a wolf howl, and Zhao Xinyu heard a hint of panic from the beast's roar.

On the edge of a cliff, Zhao Xinyu saw a guy about 1.5 meters tall with round spots the size of a wine glass on a raised rock more than ten meters above the ground.

Although I don’t know if the leopard is the North China leopard that has disappeared for decades, Zhao Xinyu is already very excited.

The golden marks in the sky stared at the mountain leopard on the cliff. Zhao Xinyu waved to them. A thick green aura filled the air from his body, and the green wood attribute energy enveloped the leopard. The frightened leopard slowly became After calming down, it looked at Zhao Xinyu with a hint of gratitude in its eyes.

Zhao Xinyu raised his hand and patted Qinglang's back a few times. Qinglang exited. Zhao Xinyu looked at Shan Bao and waved to the leopard.

A few minutes later, the leopard came down from the cliff and approached Zhao Xinyu with a hint of vigilance. The aura on Zhao Xinyu's body fluctuated. As soon as the aura of the Hongmeng space came out, the leopard was slightly shocked. The vigilance in Zhao Xinyu's eyes slowly disappeared when he looked at it.

Zhao Xinyu walked over, raised his hand and stroked the leopard's body a few times, and the leopard rubbed its body against Zhao Xinyu's legs a few times. He growled a few times at Zhao Xinyu.

Zhao Xinyu looked at the green wolf in the distance, "Boss, it has partners and children. He wants to take you there."

Zhao Xinyu felt happy, raised his hand and stroked it again, and the mountain leopard moved in one direction.

It took Zhao Xinyu more than half an hour to reach a mountain stream that was also covered with rocks. Zhao Xinyu couldn't help but shake his head when he turned to look in the direction he was coming from.

This mountain leopard was still smart. In order to prevent his children from being harmed, he took them several hills away from the place where the roar first came out.

When they arrived at the mountain stream, the mountain leopard roared at Zhao Xinyu a few times, then turned and entered a cave hidden behind the bushes.

Zhao Xinyu, who was well aware of animals, did not follow him. Only a few minutes later, Zhao Xinyu saw the mountain leopard come out again. After a while, a slightly smaller leopard came out, followed by five furry little guys not much bigger than a cat. come out.

Looking at this family, Zhao Xinyu's heart was filled with excitement. This was even more exciting than the discovery of a new species. Perhaps because of the exchange, and with Zhao Xinyu's body filled with the aura of Hongmeng Space, the Leopard family did not have any resistance. Zhao Xinyu When he reached them, he found that none of the five little guys' eyes were fully open.

Zhao Xinyu couldn't help but shake his head. He squatted down and took the Leopard family into the space, with a smile on his face.

"Boss. Let's..."

Zhao Xinyu took a deep breath. He didn't find even a single herb in a whole day. Maybe he was unlucky this time. He took a look at this area. This area was very different from the previous areas. It looked very desolate. Come to think of it, there's nothing good about it.

But this time he was satisfied to be able to see leopards in Liulang Mountain.

"Let's go back."

On this day, people in the Hongshiya Bamboo Forest looked towards the entrance of Liuling Mountain, and they saw a dusty figure appearing.

The development of Hongshiya in recent years has also attracted many travel enthusiasts. People come in and out of Liuling Mountain every day, but this time the person they saw was special. He was only one person, but there were two beside him. The guy with stripes all over his body.

When Zhao Xinyu led the two leopards into Hongshiya, people immediately gathered around them. When they saw people surrounding them, the two leopards exploded in an instant. Their eyes showed fierceness and they kept roaring at the people approaching.

Although people felt scared in their hearts, they did not flee because they knew that the wild animals in Hongshiya, Xihanling and even Lop Nur were brought out from the mountains by Zhao Xinyu. Since Zhao Xinyu dared to take them out, they It certainly won't hurt anyone.

Zhao Xinyu raised his hand and stroked the two leopards a few times, "Don't be nervous, they won't hurt you."

Zhao Xinyu's words took effect immediately, and the leopards with fried fur slowly calmed down. However, every time someone approached them for more than ten meters, they would make a low roar, as if to warn people not to approach.

"Zhao Xinyu, there are leopards in Liuling Mountain. What kind of leopards are they? Why haven't we heard of them?"

Zhao Xinyu shook his head and looked at the middle-aged man who asked, "I don't know. I grew up at the foot of Liuling Mountain, and I have never heard of leopards in Liuling Mountain. However, the elderly once said that there were also leopards in Liuling Mountain before. Leopards have only disappeared in recent decades.”

"You are right. There were many leopards in Liuling Mountain a hundred years ago. However, in that famine era, people had no choice but to go into the mountains to hunt. Not only Liuling Mountain, but also people from Pingcheng and surrounding areas came in. Mountain hunting is why leopards are extinct.”

Zhao Xinyu was slightly stunned. He looked at the speaker. He was an old man with white hair. Not only his hair, but also his eyebrows were all silver-white.

"Old man, you know this kind of leopard."

The old man nodded, I also heard what my grandfather said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the old man with a hint of surprise. The old man looked to be about eighty or ninety years old. He still listened to his grandfather and told him that the leopard had disappeared for many years.

Looking at the people, the old man sighed and said, "You should know one thing. There is a slightly smaller leopard in Shanxi, Shaanxi and Mongolia."

"I know, North China leopard." A middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Then do you know that there have never been North China leopards in this area of ​​Pingcheng?"

These words made some people present nod their heads, "Old man, we have also heard about this. North China leopards are all over North China, but they have not appeared in Pingcheng area. Isn't this leopard not a North China leopard?"

The old man laughed loudly, "The North China leopard is nothing. Not to mention the North China leopard, the most ferocious leopard in the world is just a delicious meal in front of them. This is the king of leopards. Although they are small in size, their ferocity is Tigers and wolves are simply incomparable. This kind of leopard is no less intelligent than humans. In the past, if you wanted to kill one, you would need at least a dozen good hunters. Do you know why people hundreds of miles away in those days Come and hunt them."

When the old man said this, not only the people, but also Zhao Xinyu looked at the old man. He wanted to know what kind of leopard this was.

"Look at whether they have a piece of cloud-like fur on their chests. He's called the Clouded Leopard. Not only is he extremely fast, his fur can't even seep into water, and the meat tastes delicious. Because of this, in the In those days, the meat of a clouded leopard could be sold for hundreds of oceans, and one of his skins could even be sold for a hundred taels of gold."

Everyone looked at the leopard's chest, and sure enough, there was a cloud-like pattern on their chest.

Perhaps they understood what the old man said, the two clouded leopards kept roaring at the old man, and the fierce light in their eyes reappeared.

Zhao Xinyu raised his hand and stroked the two big guys' backs to calm them down. He nodded to the old man, "Old man, you mean that clouded leopards are very rare."

The old man nodded. "If we talk about a hundred years ago, there were a lot of clouded leopards in Liulang Mountain, but now except for these two in Liulang Mountain, you will not find the other two. They are even rarer than giant pandas. They Since they can recognize you, they will always regard you as their master, and their loyalty will be no less than yours, Black Wind."

Zhao Xinyu took a breath and looked down at the two clouded leopards, only to see the two guys looking up at him, their eyes full of dependence.

Zhao Xinyu raised his hand and patted them a few times, "Thank you very much, old man. I thought they were North China leopards."

"The North China leopard is just a big lynx. How can it be compared with the clouded leopard? They recognize you and understand your words. I don't ask for much. I just hope that I can take a photo with them."

The old man recognized the clouded leopard, and Zhao Xinyu was certainly grateful. Not only did the old man let him know about a leopard that had disappeared for nearly a hundred years, even if he made a direct request, Zhao Xinyu would not refuse.

While Zhao Xinyu was taking photos of the old man, more and more people gathered around him, and more people knew from the Internet that Zhao Xinyu had brought back a leopard that had disappeared for a hundred years in Liuling Mountain. The whole Internet is talking about this clouded leopard.

Look I have a portable farm.
