Big raindrops fell on the water surface, splashing dense water droplets, which looked more like rain falling from bottom to top.
A black panther emerged from the shadows quietly.
The heavy rain splashed on the black panther's shiny hair, but it did not affect its agile pace at all.
When moving, his posture is streamlined, his muscles are strong and toned, and he is full of endless power.
The golden beast eyes vigilantly observed all the surrounding vegetation.
He looked vigilant, as if every tree and plant here was full of danger.
Rather than saying that he is a hunter, he is more like a prey that is being hunted.
When it was certain that the surrounding area was safe, the black panther gradually lowered its vigilance and cautiously moved closer to the water's edge.
I saw a sika deer lying there by the waterside that had been dead for who knows how long.
Although the weather was very cold, the sika deer half-immersed in the water had already emitted a disgusting rancid smell.
In the past, it wouldn't even take a second look at such food.
Fresh flesh and blood is my favorite.
Especially when his sharp claws tear open the prey's throat, the flesh and blood with residual heat is simply the most delicious food in the world.
It's just that he's too hungry.
The stomach has been empty for a long time, and every movement of the intestines is like a kind of torture to oneself.
At this time, it seemed that it didn't care whether the flesh and blood in front of it still had the same taste as before.
His only thought was to fill his stomach, escape from here, and find a new territory.
But just when it was about to approach the water source.
"Wow!"
On the calm water, there was a violent splash of water, and a big hand, like a wild python coming out of its hole, suddenly grabbed the black panther's throat.
Sensing that the crisis was approaching, the Black Panther's muscular body could clearly see that every inch of his muscles was squirming.
He burst out with astonishing power. The moment the hand touched him, he jumped up on the spot. At the same time, sharp claws popped out of the furry palms. While dodging, he did not forget his instinct to fight back.
"You can't run away!"
He slapped open the black panther's sharp claws with his palm, and at the same time grabbed it with his backhand. The five fingers were like iron hoops, tightly clasped on the back of the black panther's claws.
Accompanied by an unshakable force, the Black Panther's body jumped forward uncontrollably.
Immediately after the water waves burst out of the water, it hit its face.
The face that frightened it appeared in its sight.
Maybe it's fear, maybe it's survival instinct.
In a brief moment, the black panther became even more manic and ferocious. He no longer dodge, but opened his mouth, showing his sharp teeth, and desperately attacked the human being's throat.
"boom!!"
As the black panther's body hit the water heavily, a bright red blood stained the lake surface under the water.
"Gululu... clatter..."
After emerging from the water with a few bubbles, black fluffy claws were seen poking out from the water.
Then the black panther's head popped up, and its limbs struggled to crawl out of the water.
The cool wind blew on the black panther's body, causing it to shiver uncontrollably.
Looking back, with a victor's gaze, he re-examined the figure floating on the water.
That was a human youth, not strong but full of explosive bronze muscles.
Until the last second, the young man still held a metal dagger with a cold light in his hand.
Perhaps Black Panther will never forget this formidable enemy in his life.
In this entanglement of patience and wisdom.
How he sensed danger again and again and was sensed by the other party again and again.
Now, this hunting game that lasted for nearly five days has finally come to an end.
This enemy that made him fearful finally...
"ah!!"
A sudden loud roar made the black panther tremble all over, and his triangular ears fell flat on his head in fear.
When he saw the young man on the water suddenly opening his eyes and grinning at him.
Suddenly, the last pride in Black Panther's heart was completely shattered and disintegrated.
His limbs scratched and scratched on the muddy ground, and he scratched a mud puddle on the ground. His legs seemed to have finally found their center of gravity, and the figure quickly got into the bushes and fled in embarrassment.
"Hahahaha~"
Seeing the black panther fleeing in embarrassment, Ding Xiaoyi lay on the water and burst out laughing, like a naughty boy who had succeeded in his conspiracy.
So much so that he didn't even care about the wound on his chest.
"Master, actually you could have killed it just now!"
Wangcai couldn't help but remind him: "It only takes one small stroke!"
"Well, I know, but I don't want to."
The smile on Ding Xiaoyi's face did not diminish. In fact, at the last moment when the Black Panther counterattacked, he could have sealed his throat with a knife.
But he didn't do this. Instead, after dodging the fatal blow, the black panther tore a hideous wound on his chest.
"During this period, it taught me a lot. Now that I have achieved my goal, I might as well not kill him or not!"
"Why don't I feel sorry for you? In just half a month, Master, you have already had six or seven wounds on your body..."
Wangcai choked up and cried: "As the saying goes, if I cut you, it hurts my heart..."
"Go, go, go, I'm getting goosebumps!"
Ding Xiaoyi quickly interrupted Wangcai and continued licking.
After crawling out of the water, I moved my somewhat numb body.
In order to experience the danger of a life-and-death fight, he used [Wish Coins] to seal his psychic powers.
Simply rely on your own body strength to explore this primitive jungle.
In just half a month, he wrestled with bears, fought with tigers, and hunted each other with panthers. It was inevitable that he suffered many wounds on his body.
Especially on his back, a centipede-like wound spread from his shoulders to his lower back.
The wound seemed to have just healed, and the bloody scab on it was still bright red.
It's just that it's been soaked in water for a long time, and it looks a bit like my hair is soaked.
This wound came from the sneak attack of the black panther just now.
At that time, I had just killed the tiger, and before I could catch my breath, I was attacked by this guy.
If he hadn't sensed the danger and avoided the vital point in his throat, his survival would have been in doubt.
What followed was a day of escape. With his strong body and amazing recovery power, he quickly recovered from his injuries and gradually transformed from a prey to a hunter.
There is no invisibility, no psychic assistance, just relying on the power of the body.
Between hunting and being hunted, identities are constantly changing.
I learned a lot of skills from it, just like Mr. Chen said.
The beasts in this deep forest determine their own fate every time they attack. Fighting has become their nature and is their best and most direct teacher.
"Let's go home!"
After being entangled by the black panther for so long this time, I was almost exhausted. Besides, counting the time, the tide of the underworld was about to ebb today.
The last time the tide went out, I was too excited because I was wrestling with a bear and missed the tide. This time I couldn't miss it at all.
The most important thing is that the old man doesn't know whether he will come today or not.
There hasn't been much news about this old guy recently. He brought the meat and wine ingredients for the three-steamed pork he promised, but it turns out that he hasn't shown up yet.
I was waiting for him to help me solve the mystery on the tip of the Sheriff's tail when he came.
The moment he took out the [Wish Coin] from the tactical pocket on his waist and tossed it up gently.
A steady stream of spiritual energy began to flow into his flesh and blood rapidly.
Suddenly, I felt an unprecedented feeling, as if the nicotine in the tobacco leaves made my thoughts float.
"Zizzi..."
The exhausted muscles were like dry sponges, frantically absorbing the incoming spiritual energy. Even the wounds quickly healed and scabbed after a burst of white mist.
However, within a few minutes, the blood scab fell off on its own, without even leaving a trace of scar on my breasts.
"Huh~~"
As the spiritual energy completely returned, a puff of white mist came out with Ding Xiaoyi's heavy breathing. It seemed like it was just a gentle blow, but it turned out to be a strong wind, and the surrounding wind and rain spread away.
Perhaps as the old saying goes, a long separation is better than a new marriage.
Without the help of psychic energy for a long time, every move he made seemed to be restricted.
At this time, after the spiritual energy returned to the body, it gave me a somewhat deeper understanding of the use of spiritual energy.
He opened his eyes, but the misty rain in front of his eyes could no longer cover his sight. His figure jumped as fast as lightning.
I believe that if Black Panther saw Ding Xiaoyi at this moment again, he might not even be able to think about escaping.
Walking around the corner of the woods, I found my exploration vehicle parked there.
I opened the door and got into the car. Although it was a rainy day, there was still hot water supply in the car. I took a comfortable hot shower and put on a set of clean clothes.
Then he took out the thick and long black iron key and rubbed it gently in his hand.
"Chaimu's new home!"
As he silently recited these four words, a long-lost feeling suddenly enveloped him.
The familiar room in front of me was filled with the familiar smell of pickled cabbage and beef noodles. I didn't need to think about it, but I knew that Datou must be eating Mr. Chen's noodles at this time.
With a glance, before he could get up, a dark shadow had already rushed into his arms and licked his fingers with a rough tongue.
"Meow!"
The sergeant first sniffed the smell on his body. Even after taking a shower, the smell of the panther still couldn't escape the sergeant's keen sense of smell.
Suddenly, those gem-like eyes, with a bit of resentment in their eyes, began to lick his hands.
Ding Xiaoyi held the sergeant in his arms and stroked the guy's hair. When he glanced at it, he saw that the diary on the table had opened a new page.
