Chapter 540 - 540 Hunter in the Shadow! (2)
540 Hunter in the Shadow! (2)
At this moment, the Shadow Leopard in front also discovered that a two-legged beast was following behind it.
This increased its speed again. At the same time, it turned its head and glanced at Zhou Wenjie with its yellow eyes.
The moment he looked at the Shadow Leopard, Zhou Wenjie felt as if he was being targeted by a fatal threat.
He could not help but feel his scalp tingle.
Moreover, its speed was also slightly affected.
He had almost lost it.
“d.a.m.n!”
“This thing can really f*cking run!”
After cursing under his breath, Zhou Wenjie also increased his speed and followed closely.
Not long after this man and leopard disappeared, a four-man mercenary team also arrived.
One of them was leading an especially big dog with a nose and sniffing the air in front of him.
Then, it barked in the direction Zhou Wenjie and the Shadow Leopard had left in.
Seeing this, the four mercenaries immediately followed.
“Let’s go!”
“d.a.m.n, I didn’t expect this dog to be so good at running! Moreover, it’s a dark-type beast. If not for the added ingredients in our meat,
“I really can’t catch up.”
The mercenary in the lead could not help but curse.
“Speaking of which, Brother Lei, didn’t we drug him? Why can we still run so far?”
“F*ck! How would I know?! Perhaps that guy hasn’t eaten and has been running there!”
“What’s the point? We even deliberately waited for a long time before catching up.”
Brother Lei’s three companions were very puzzled.
In the past, when they used this method to capture those mutated beasts outside the city, they would capture them accurately.
There was even no need to hide or wait.
As long as they threw the meat out, those brainless beasts would immediately rush out and eat the added meat in front of them.
Then… then he was directly thrown to the ground and sold to the colosseum in the city right on the heels of that.
This time, just in case, he deliberately increased the dosage.
That was the amount that could knock out five level five mutated beasts. In the end… How could it be useless?
What these people did not know was that the Shadow Leopard was chased away by Zhou Wenjie before it could eat its “prey”.
“Roar!”
After being chased for nearly another kilometer, the Shadow Leopard, whose endurance had clearly decreased a lot, casually placed the “prey” in its mouth to the side. Then, it turned around and stared at Zhou Wenjie, who was chasing after it, with extremely cold eyes.
This two-legged beast was simply bullying the leopard!
At first, Zhou Wenjie did not notice that the Shadow Leopard had stopped.
When he saw the Shadow Leopard’s actions clearly and was about to be on guard, he saw the Shadow Leopard that had just been in his line of sight instantly disappear.
Only a large piece of meat with teeth marks was left.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Wenjie immediately perked up.
He did not think that this thing had abandoned its food and run away.
It was more likely that the other party treated him as one of the prey—after all, he was rushing to the other party’s door.
Moreover, didn’t that “dark” attribute have such an ability?
Thinking of this, Zhou Wenjie did not dare to be careless. He immediately summoned the small ball of “gray fog” that had been floating beside him. Then, it quickly expanded and enveloped Zhou Wenjie.
Right on the heels of that, Zhou Wenjie’s figure also disappeared from the spot.
When the Shadow Leopard hidden in the shadows saw that the two-legged beast had actually disappeared into the air, it could not help but use its nose to probe the air.
However, he found nothing.
He could only smell the meat he had brought back.
It was indeed fragrant!
It was comparable to the smell of the green oxes in the depths of the forest.
However, it did not want to leave with that piece of meat in its mouth anymore.
Before the two-legged beast was dealt with, it did not plan to come out.
The vigilant Shadow Leopard would not think that the two-legged beast was only following him out of kindness.
Perhaps he wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h his food?
Then he would hide here and see if he could not help but come out and s.n.a.t.c.h that piece of meat.
As one of the top predators in the Beast Taming Forest, the Shadow Leopard was very patient.
Just like that, it directly hid in the shadows.
Similarly, after Zhou Wenjie’s figure was removed by the Illusory Fog, he only moved his position slightly and did not move anymore.
He was afraid that he would be discovered by the Shadow Leopard even under such circ.u.mstances.
Therefore, he had been staring at that piece of meat.
Zhou Wenjie felt that this Shadow Leopard would definitely not give up such a big piece of meat easily.
It was true that these beasts were very smart and had intelligence not inferior to humans.
However, his knowledge was completely inferior to humans.
His behavioral logic was more focused on “beasts” than humans.
Just like that, the two of them, who could both be “invisible”, were in a stalemate in this forest.
After more than ten minutes, just as Zhou Wenjie began to wonder if the Shadow Leopard had really given up on that piece of meat, he suddenly heard some movement behind him.
At first, he thought that w.a.n.g Zhen, Iron Axe, and the others had arrived.
However, after looking at his Beast Taming Index and discovering that the two of them were still a distance away from him, he immediately became vigilant.
Could it be those people from Weizhou?
However, although they had suggested acting together at that time, w.a.n.g Zhen did not agree in the end. At the very least, he did not agree immediately.
Therefore, when the two teams entered the Beast Taming Forest, they walked in different directions.
In other words, these people…
Before Zhou Wenjie could continue guessing the ident.i.ties of these people, he heard the conversation of the people behind him.
Yes, he did not know where these people got their courage from to dare to make so much noise in the Beast Taming Forest so brazenly.
Had he really never died before?
Zhou Wenjie suddenly felt that after Hall Master Lin took in the Qiongqi as a beast, these mercenaries seemed to have lost their reverence ~
This was not good!
“My beast said that it’s just ahead.”
“Is that so? Then grab your weapon!”
“Be careful. Don’t injure or kill him. This is very valuable!”
“Ha, we’re all in the same line of work. Why are you saying this?”
Hearing the conversation of the four of them, Zhou Wenjie sized them up again. Looking at the various flying claws, net hooks, metal rope nets, and other equipment on them, he knew the ident.i.ties of these people.
Mutated Beast Hunter.
Although they were still mercenaries, these people’s missions were usually to capture mutated beasts to exchange for rewards or money.
It was not mainly about obtaining crystal cores or materials from mutated beasts.
It was also because of this that these mutated beast hunters did not have a good relationship with many mercenaries.
After all, one wanted to kill him, while the other wanted to capture him alive.
They were naturally opposing ~
Therefore, sometimes, a very strange scene would appear.
When some mercenaries wanted to kill a relatively high-level mutated beast, they would be stopped by humans and the mutated beast would also be “protected”.
These people were mutated beast hunters.
Now, in the Beast Taming World, it was more “coordinated” with the goal of the entire world.
They were all captured alive.
Of course, this did not mean that Zhou Wenjie would agree with these guys.
“Eh?”
“Why was the meat thrown here?!”
“Brother Lei”, who was holding the dog, was the first to see the lump of meat placed by the tree by the Shadow Leopard. He immediately ran over quickly.
The other three hurriedly followed.
“It didn’t move?!”
“It didn’t even eat a bite? There’s only a bite mark?!”
Looking at the lump of meat in front of him, Brother Lei was stunned.
At the same time, when the Shadow Leopard, who had been hiding in the shadows, saw four more two-legged beasts arrive, its cold eyes revealed a trace of mockery.
Indeed, these two-legged beasts were here for his meat!
After revealing its fangs slightly, the Shadow Leopard that had been squatting for a long time moved.
While the four of them were looking at the piece of meat, no one noticed that a very faint shadow had appeared beside the last person in the team.
Then, a pitch-black leopard pounced on the neck of the last person like a hidden weapon—
Crack ~
A very crisp voice sounded.
The mercenary covered his throat with all his might, but it was still useless.
“He ~ He ~”
