2303. Chapter 2303 Leopard Attack
"Follow me, don't walk around!" Ye Qing whispered to Old Chen, and turned around and continued to walk up the mountain.
Old Chen dared not run around. He followed Ye Qing's butt, turning around from time to time, guarding against any possible situation.
Everyone walked like this for about ten minutes. A colorful leopard suddenly jumped down from a tree about ten meters away from Ye Qing's left, and directly knocked down one of the two people who were walking to the tree.
"Ah!" The man screamed, and everyone immediately turned their heads over. When everyone was about to come to rescue, another leopard jumped down and threw another person down again.
"Ah!" The man also screamed, and the situation immediately made everyone feel a little panicked. Fortunately, Ye Qing reacted quickly. He ran over first, grabbed the tail of the leopard, pulled it hard, and pulled it off.
The man who was knocked down by the leopard had a wound on his shoulder, but fortunately it was not too deep. The leopard was caught by Ye Qing and immediately turned his head and bit Ye Qing. Ye Qing did not dodge and let the leopard bit his arm. However, the leopard could not hurt Ye Qing at all. Ye Qing seized the opportunity and punched the leopard on the head. The leopard was immediately beaten to the ground by Ye Qing, and rolled several times before he got up.
The leopard on the other side was also pulled away by several people. Fortunately, the people on the other side were a little cautious, but their arm was scratched and their injuries were even lighter. The leopard was responsive and did not attack when facing several people. Instead, he immediately retreated and looked at the people here from afar. Although he did not attack, he looked like that, and was waiting for the opportunity.
Both leopards were beaten away, and everyone gathered together immediately. Old Chen took out a Luoyang shovel from his bag, waved it and stood in the crowd, and said anxiously: "Hurry, hurry, it's so fucking scary!"
At this time, no one paid attention to Lao Chen. As the two leopards were repelled, five or six leopards came down from the tree one after another, occupying the surroundings, surrounding everyone in the middle. Each leopard had a strong hostility in his eyes, as if he was ready to pounce on him at any time and bite everyone into pieces.
"What the hell is going on?" Fatty Wang walked to Ye Qing, guarding against the leopards vigilantly, and said anxiously: "Aren't leopards alone animals? I remember that these things have their own territories. Why are so many leopards running together?"
Although the leopard is not big, it is far less powerful than a tiger, and its combat effectiveness is not as strong as a tiger. However, the leopard is much more sensitive than a tiger, moves very quickly, and can climb trees and climb walls. For people, if they really meet a leopard, it would be more dangerous than meeting a tiger. What's more, so many leopards are gathered together now, the danger is even greater.
Ye Qing was also confused. He had never seen so many leopards gathered together. Moreover, these leopards came to attack people together. Such a situation had never been thought of before. Ye Qing himself was not afraid of these leopards, but if he was not afraid, it did not mean that the people around him were not afraid. If these leopards suddenly attacked, they would probably have to leave at least a few of them here.
A man who was a little older than Fatty Wang said in a deep voice: "This should be the mating season. Leopards will only gather together during the mating season. Now is spring, and it is the mating season for leopards to mate. We should have accidentally stepped into the mating area where they mating, so we were attacked!"
Fatty Wang took a deep breath and said, "Then we are really a little bit of our backs. We actually ran to the place where leopards mate. No wonder there are no animals here, and we can't even hear the sound of birds!"
"What should I do now? What should I do now?" Old Chen shouted loudly with a Luoyang shovel. This guy stood in the middle of the crowd, in the safest position, but he was the one he was most afraid of.
"Keep your breath, as long as you walk out of this area, these leopards will not attack us again!" the elderly man whispered.
Ye Qing nodded slowly and whispered: "Let's form a circle and walk slowly up the mountain. Remember, don't panic, don't disperse, don't give these leopards any opportunity to take advantage of!"
The two people were attacked just now, and everyone was already scared by the leopard. When they heard Ye Qing's words, everyone naturally did not dare to ignore them. According to what Ye Qing said, they carefully formed a circle and slowly moved up the mountain road.
The leopards still surrounded everyone in the middle, but they were always in a state of confrontation with them, so these leopards naturally could not come and attack. It took more than half an hour for everyone to walk out of the jungle. And the leopards really didn't chase them out anymore, they just stood on the edge of the jungle, watching everyone walk away, and then slowly dispersed.
Seeing the leopards spread out, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. There were more and more leopards in the woods just now. Finally, everyone took a look and found that there were almost forty or fifty leopards inside. If these leopards came up to attack them together, how many of these people could walk out of the woods alive?
"My uncle, this is too dangerous!" Old Chen leaned on the Luoyang shovel and gasped, and said, "Boy Ye, I have said a long time ago, let me go back first. You must not listen, and you must take the uncle and take me on the risk. If I am in danger, what will you pay for me?"
Ye Qing said: "If you want to go back, you can go back now. I won't stop you!"
"Nonsense, why am I going back now?" Old Chen widened his eyes and said, "I can't even run over that wood. If you ask me to go back, isn't this going to kill me?"
Nonsense, of course, I knew you couldn't go back, so I said I wanted you to go back. If there was no danger, then who would let you go back?
Ye Qing muttered in his heart, but didn't say it out loud, and waved his hand and said, "If you want to leave, just leave, forget it if you don't want to leave, don't talk to me so much!"
Old Chen was talking again, but Ye Qing ignored him at all. In the past, he bandaged the wounds of the two wounded people slightly. Fortunately, the leopard's strength was not strong and the biting force was not very strong. These two were just slightly injured. However, this time the situation also gave everyone a deeper understanding of the situation in the forest. It seems that the forest is not so safe, and it is not easy to walk to the position marked on the middle map.
After a while, everyone continued to go up the mountain. Fortunately, they kept climbing the mountain and no one encountered any danger. It seemed that this mountain should be the range of movement for the leopards. However, during the mating season, all the leopards gathered in the woods, so there was no danger in other places on the mountain.
After climbing the third mountain, everyone did not rest and went up the fourth mountain. This fourth mountain was slightly shorter than the third mountain. Although there were beasts inside, it was much better than the situation where so many leopards gathered together before. On this fourth mountain, everyone encountered a ferocious wild boar, but it was still solved by everyone. They roasted the wild boar meat to eat at night.
At night, everyone found a clearing space, and set up a few fires around, set up tents, and rested at night. Because of the fire, the wild beasts did not dare to get close to this place, so there was nothing wrong all night.
The next day, everyone continued to set off, but this time everyone encountered no danger. On the third day and the fourth day, they were extremely safe, and almost forgot about the previous attack by the leopard. The situation in Xiliang Mountain does not look as dangerous as the legendary one, but the beautiful scenery on the mountain makes people linger.
On the fifth day, everyone came to a towering mountain. This mountain was the highest mountain they had encountered after walking so far. At this time, they had walked more than a hundred miles, and less than one-third of the journey was left from the target area, and everyone was about to reach their destination.
Because this mountain is too high, there is a lot of snow on the top of the mountain. Now it is spring and the snow has begun to melt, so there are many mountain streams flowing down the mountain, and the scenery is much more beautiful than the previous mountains.
I didn't encounter any danger for several consecutive days, which made everyone's nerves no longer as tense as before. There was no road on the mountain, and everyone went up the mountain, and it was like traveling around the mountains and waters all the way, which was full of fun.
By walking to the middle of the mountain, the mountains and forests have changed, gradually turning from the broad-leaved forest to the coniferous forest.
Walking in this area where broad-leaved forests and coniferous forests intersect, most people are still lingering in the beautiful scenery around them. Ye Qing frowned slightly because he smelled a faint fishy smell in the air, which is the unique smell of large beasts. In other words, they should have stepped into the activity area of a large beast.
"Be careful!" Before Ye Qing could remind him, the bearded man who followed them whispered: "There are probably large beasts nearby. Everyone should try to get out of this area as quickly as possible to avoid being attacked by this beast!"
"Hey, big bearded man, how do you know?" Fatty Wang turned his head and said strangely.
"Look at the tree here." The bearded man pointed to a tree next to him. Everyone turned to look at it and saw that there were actually a few scratches on the trunk, which were obviously captured by the claws of the beast.
This situation made everyone feel shocked. After experiencing the attack by a leopard, everyone is much more cautious about this situation. Now seeing traces of wild animals, everyone naturally dare not be careless at all.
