The jackal's cry was still far away. Liu Yujiang, Liu Yuhe, and Sheng Xiping acted quickly and quickly hid in a place arranged in advance to ambush.
At this time, no one dared to move or make any sound.
Just wait for the jackal and leopard to pass by, then shoot the leopard to death.
The rest of the people were hiding in the distance, scattered on the periphery, ready to respond at any time.
Liu Changde was mainly worried about not letting Wang Jianshe and others get too close because they had little hunting experience.
If something happened to them and the leopard was alerted, the result would be in vain.
As soon as everyone laid ambush, a few minutes later, the three people in front saw two jackals running over with flying hooves. It was indeed the only way Liu Changde said.
Sheng Xiping and the others followed Liu Changde's instructions and let go of the two jackals without firing. They mainly shot the leopard.
That guy has amazing destructive power and must be killed first.
But a minute had passed since the two jackals, and the leopard still hadn't appeared. All three of them felt something was wrong.
Judging from the footprints they observed before, the leopard and the jackal are not far apart, one behind the other. Why haven't they appeared yet?
Sheng Xiping suddenly remembered that when he was tracking before, the leopard's tracks disappeared and then appeared. It was clearly the leopard jumping up the tree.
Thinking of this, Sheng Xiping secretly said something bad, turned around with the gun in his hand and looked at the tree behind him.
It didn't matter what he saw. Sheng Xiping was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
A colorful leopard is walking slowly and quietly along a thick branch that slopes down.
A big curly tail is raised, which is a posture ready to attack at any time.
Leopards have two ways of attacking when hunting.
One is to hide in a tree first, so that you can find traces of prey from a high place. At the same time, the smell of your body will be dispersed by the wind at high places, making it difficult for prey to detect it.
The other is a sneak attack tactic, where you first sneak up on the prey, then suddenly jump out and suffocate the prey with its sharp leopard teeth.
Obviously, this leopard is a master of sneak attacks. It jumped up the tree in advance.
At this moment, it is condescending, and as long as it pounces, at least one of the three people ambushing below will become its dead soul.
"Be careful, the leopard is in the tree." Sheng Xiping pulled the trigger and warned Liu Yujiang and Liu Yuhe.
A loud gunshot startled everyone.
Liu Yujiang and Liu Yuhe both heard Sheng Xiping's warning and quickly rolled away. Then they stood up from the ground like a carp and aimed their guns at the trees behind them.
However, at this time, where is the shadow of the leopard on the tree?
The moment Sheng Xiping turned around, the leopard on the branch about seven or eight meters high, which was about to make a sneak attack, had already noticed something strange about Sheng Xiping.
So when Sheng Xiping pulled the trigger, the leopard had already jumped down from the branch, perfectly avoiding the shot.
The leopard landed on the ground, twisted around, and pounced towards Sheng Xiping with its strong body.
Sheng Xiping had just fired a shot, and before he could even get up from the ground, the leopard pounced on him.
He had heard Liu Changde say before that wherever a leopard tilts its tail, it will stretch out its opposite claws to scratch people.
The moment the leopard pounced, its tail was pointing to the right, which proved that the leopard wanted to scratch Sheng Xiping with its left paw.
Sheng Xiping moved very quickly. He swooped to the right and rolled on the spot, thus avoiding the leopard's grasp.
Then, Sheng Xiping took aim again.
As expected, the leopard stretched out its left paw, but unfortunately it failed to scratch Sheng Xiping.
The leopard's reaction speed is very fast. In its eyes, the movements of other animals are no different from slow motion.
So when Sheng Xiping dodged and raised his gun, the leopard immediately jumped back and flew more than two meters away.
This time, he just avoided Sheng Xiping's second shot.
This guy's reaction was really fast. He adjusted his posture in the air. When he landed, he faced backwards, flicked his tail, and landed on his limbs first.
Then, his limbs touched the ground, he jumped up, and rushed towards Sheng Xiping again.
This guy probably recognized Sheng Xiping as the person who shot it yesterday, so he only used force towards Sheng Xiping.
Sheng Xiping's second shot missed, and he knew something was wrong, so he rolled to the side very quickly.
But no matter how fast humans move, they can't compare to the swiftness of leopards, so they couldn't completely avoid it this time.
The big blue cotton monkey on Sheng Xiping's body was scratched to pieces by the leopard's claws at the shoulder.
Fortunately, I wore thick clothes in winter, and the big cotton monkey was torn, and there was still a cotton-padded jacket inside, so my flesh was not damaged at least.
The leopard failed to hurt Sheng Xiping in two consecutive attacks. It must have been angry and roared at Sheng Xiping.
Although this sound was not as earth-shattering as the tiger's roar, it still made everyone present feel their scalps numb and the hairs all over their bodies stand up.
The leopard roared at Sheng Xiping and pounced out again.
This guy has his sights set on Sheng Xiping. It seems that if he doesn't bite Sheng Xiping to death, it won't be over.
At this time, Sheng Xiping was also highly nervous.
Taking advantage of the moment when he turned over, Sheng Xiping had already pulled out the short knife on his leg.
The distance between him and the leopard was too close, and the gun could no longer be used, so Sheng Xiping threw the gun away, held the knife in his hand, and stared at the leopard's actions.
Life or death, success or failure, probably depends on this.
From the moment Sheng Xiping fired the gun to the leopard's two consecutive attacks and Sheng Xiping dodged the leopard's attack twice, it actually happened in the blink of an eye.
Over there, brothers Liu Yujiang and Liu Yuhe had just gotten up from the ground when they saw a confrontation between one man and one leopard.
Without saying a word, Liu Yujiang raised his gun and pointed at the leopard. A gunshot sounded and bullets flew out. However, at this time, the leopard also jumped out.
The shot missed the head or belly, but hit the leopard's left hind leg.
The leopard's action of killing Sheng Xiping paused for a moment, and Sheng Xiping also took the opportunity to lean back and hold the short knife in front of his chest to protect it.
The blade of the short knife was pointed upward. When the leopard pounced, Sheng Xiping adjusted the height appropriately.
This short knife was a gift from Liu Changde. It was made of cannonball steel and was extremely sharp.
This knife went in close to the leopard's lower jaw, and with the speed of the leopard's flying, it was cut from the bottom of the neck to the belly.
The leopard screamed and fell to the ground, blood gurgling down its belly.
The leopard struggled to get up and tried to escape, but when it got up, its intestines fell out.
Sheng Xiping's cut was quite deep, which was equivalent to disemboweling the leopard alive.
The leopard reluctantly took a few steps forward, but its intestines were scratched by a bush on the ground. In addition, it lost a lot of blood, staggered and fell down again.
At this time, gunshots rang out again, and Liu Yuhe fired.
This shot hit the leopard on the head, which ended the leopard's pain and gave it a happy life.
The leopard fell to the ground and stopped moving.
None of the three Sheng Xiping dared to step forward directly. After waiting for a while and seeing that the leopard had indeed stopped moving, Sheng Xiping staggered up from the ground.
Those three hiding moments just now were already his limit.
If the leopard hadn't opened the leopard's belly with a knife at the last moment, the leopard might have pounced again, and Sheng Xiping would have had to explain it here.
