Chapter 7 Traces of Civilization

It is common for prey to be stolen. When they worked hard to track down their prey, they found that the prey that had lost its ability to move had been eaten by lions or hyenas. At this time, they had to return empty-handed.

Seeing that the chief had arrived at the antelope, a figure suddenly jumped out of the grass beside him and threw the antelope to the ground.

Gao Yang fell at the end, and he could see clearly that the leopard was a leopard, but at this time the chief and the leopard were almost face to face. Regardless of whether the chief was willing or not, they formed a situation of competing for food with the leopard.

Gao Yang quickly understood why the leopard, which usually avoided humans, dared to confront the five of them, because the leopard was already very old and his hunting ability had declined a lot. Now the elixir, which was very hungry and had lost the ability to move, had a fatal attraction to the old leopard. The hungry old leopard refused to give up the food that reached its mouth.

The distance was too close and the situation was very dangerous. The leopard opened its mouth and let out a low roar. The chief stood less than two meters away from the leopard, spreading his arms and slowly retreating, while the rest, including Gao Yang, were also slowly retreating.

It is dangerous to compete for food with a hungry leopard. Even if the leopard is old and weak, especially at such an almost face-to-face distance, the explosive power of the limbs is not something that people can imagine. Even if there are five people, they cannot anger the leopard at this time. They can only retreat to a safe distance and then go together to scare the leopard away safely.

Just as the chief slowly retreated, the leopard suddenly let go of the antelope under its claws, and pounced towards the chief like a bolt of lightning.

The chief just had time to withdraw his open arms and protect his neck, and was thrown to the ground by the leopard.

The huge leopard tilted its head, opened its mouth and blew into the chief's throat. It grabbed the chief and refused to let go. Fortunately, the chief protected his neck in time, so the leopard did not bite the throat.

Seeing the chief was thrown to the ground, Gao Yang roared, held the hunting knife in his hand tightly and rushed forward. The three people in front of him also stabbed the spears in their hands. After the leopard was stabbed, they let go of the chief in their mouths and pounced forward again. After leaving five deep scratches on a person's thigh, they finally turned around and ran back.

Gao Yang was frightened and full of chills. The leopard was one of the top predators in Africa. The prey bitten by the leopard on the neck was almost impossible to survive.

The chief covered his neck with one hand, and blood leaked out from his fingers. The few people were already shocked and stood there and shouted. Only Gao Yang was calm. He ran to the chief's side, reached out to spread the chief's hand covering his neck, and looked at the chief's injuries.

The chief protected his throat in time. The leopard did not bite through his throat, but the leopard's long canine teeth left two deep blood holes on the right back of the chief's neck, emitting blood. In addition, the leopard also left a row of deep teeth marks on the chief's right arm.

Gao Yang took a breath of air conditioning and reached out to cover the wound on the chief's neck. His mind was in a mess for a moment. He was thinking hard how to save the chief's life, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt panicked, because no matter from any angle, the chief was dead.

Fortunately, the leopard did not bite the chief's throat or the chief's artery. As long as the minimum surgical operation was obtained, the chief could stop the blood. But now, the chief could only slowly die due to excessive blood loss. Even if he is lucky, the blood will stop itself, but the subsequent wound infection will still cause the chief to die after a long period of pain.

As a carnivore, leopards carry too many bacteria and viruses in their mouths and claws. Whether they are bitten by teeth or scratched by cheetahs' claws, they are not related to the size of the wound. As long as there is no antibiotic, it is absolutely fatal.

After three years of time together, Gao Yang had a deep relationship with the chief. He was fine just now, but in a blink of an eye, he could only watch the chief die. Although Gao Yang gritted his teeth, tears still fell down involuntarily.

The chief also knew that his life would not be too long. He pushed Gao Yang's hand away, stood up slowly, shook his head at Gao Yang, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't cry anymore, I'm very old, we will have this day, Big Baal, if you don't die, you are the chief. If you die too, then let Little Baal be the chief. Okay, don't cry anymore. We will handle the antelope, eat something here, and then take the meat home."

"Dad, you won't die, you won't die, wow."

The youngest Cousto, who was only about fourteen or fifteen years old, was not as good as his brothers when they were separated from life and death. After saying that, he finally started to burst into tears.

After hearing the chief's words, Gao Yang remembered that Dabali, the chief's eldest son, was also scratched by a leopard, which also means that Dabali is likely to be infected with the wound and die.

Gao Yang said in a daze: "No, it shouldn't be like this. There must be a way, there must be a way to save you. Let me think about it, don't talk, let me think about it."

The chief lost a lot of blood, and sat down again with a sad look on his face.

"The white child, there is no way. No one can escape the death brought by the leopard."

Gao Yang could not imagine, so he could only watch the chief die, which made him extremely irritable. After gasping for a few rounds, Gao Yang could not bear it anymore. He roared and ran towards the direction where the leopard disappeared.

Gao Yang knew that catching up with the leopard would be useless, but he still wanted to find the damn leopard, kill it, and avenge the chief. Only in this way can he be a little better.

Gao Yang lowered his head and ran with the traces left by the leopard. The leopard was stabbed a few times, and the blood dripping of the lower wound provided him with a very clear road sign.

Not long after running, just three or five minutes later, Gao Yang, who had been lying down, suddenly stopped. He stared at the traces that shouldn't have appeared on the grass, but suddenly appeared, and his mind was blank.

The traces on the grass were ruts or tire marks, and it was obvious that they were not left by one car, but were at least a convoy of four or five cars. This long-lost trace made Gao Yang unable to believe his eyes for a moment.

"White kid, stop, we can't go now, we have to take care of dad and Dabali."

The shouts and footsteps behind him made Gao Yang wake up from his brief absent mind. He felt as if an electric current passed by. After he couldn't help but shivered, Gao Yang suddenly turned around and shouted at Little Bali and Cousto who were following him, "Go back, go back quickly."

After the yell, Gao Yang had no time to explain to Xiaobali and Cousto, who were not sure about the situation, turned around and ran back to the chief at a faster speed.

"Chief, don't leave here, you are waiting for me here, you and Dabali are saved, I found out..."

When Gao Yang was excited to tell the chief that he was saved, he somehow said what he found, because there was no such word "tire mark" in the language of the Akuri tribe.

"I found a trace of white people, white people like me, they have, well, strange herbs, they can save you and Baal. Don't leave here, wait for me, I'll find those white people."

Only then did Xiaobali and Cousto understand what was going on. When they learned that the chief and Bali were saved, everyone was only excited.

"Custo, you stay and help Dad and Dabali, and I and the white kids go to find those white people."

"No, you run away faster than me. My name is Cheetah. I will go with the white child. You stay to protect the injured father and Dabali. You are stronger than me."

"Shut up, I'll go myself, listen, if you hear the gunshots, run away quickly, do you know what gunshots are? Chief, you have heard the gunshots, right? If you hear the gunshots, leave here, don't wait for me to come back. If you don't hear the gunshots, just wait for me here, but you have to be careful, do you understand?"

The chief shook his head and reached out to grab the excited Gao Yang, "Don't go, you don't know who those are. They are very evil and you will die."

Gao Yang pushed away the chief's hand and smiled and said, "If I don't come back at this time tomorrow, you can go back by yourself. Don't worry, Chief, you know that I am the same person as them, I will be fine."

The chief was a little moved, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded.

"I forgot that you are also a strange white man, okay, go and let Cousto go with you, you must be careful."

At this time, Custow shouted excitedly: "Bai Child, I'll go with you. If there is anything, I can help you."

Gao Yang thought about it and thought that he would take Cousto with him. If something happened, there would be someone to report the news. So Gao Yang did not hesitate and ran over with Cousto along the tire mark.

It is very simple to tell the direction of the car from the ruts on the grass, and Gao Yang can also see that the ruts have not been left for long. If you are lucky enough, it may not take long to find the convoy.

Although he was worried, Gao Yang just trotted along the rut and did not dare to exert too much force. He had to control the rhythm so that he could not hold on. You should know that he had run dozens of kilometers today and had not eaten anything.

Cousto's speed was much faster than Gao Yang, so that Gao Yang had to call Cousto back frequently, so as not to get too far apart between the two. In the language of the Acuri tribe, Baal means a lion, while Cousto means a cheetah. As his name is, although Cousto is the youngest, he does run the fastest.
