Eric was shocked and staggered back, "Leopard, leopard family?"
Because of fear, the antlers on his head also trembled.
The weak are naturally afraid of the strong, not to mention there are many examples of leopards preying on deer every year, even if the opponent is just a seemingly harmless little leopard, it should not be underestimated.
Ji Xiaoou supported the leopard's hind legs, tried not to touch his wound with his hands, paused, and explained with some embarrassment: "It won't hurt people..."
It's a pity that the tone was hesitant, and even he couldn't convince himself.
After thinking about it, she saw it three times in total, the first two times she was full of defense against it, but nothing happened, and the third time it even saved her.
It shouldn't be dangerous, right
Eric stabilized his mind and summoned up the courage to ask, "Why are you with it?"
Ji Xiaoou briefly talked about how he met it and saved it, and emphasized very seriously: "Just now two leopard orcs attacked me, and it saved me." Trying to make Eric change Views on baby leopards.
However, Ji Xiaoou thought too simply.
The predation relationship between carnivores and herbivores has existed for thousands of years, how can it be changed overnight
Eric looked at the leopard, then at Ji Xiaoou, and swallowed hard, "Are you going to take it on the road together?"
Ji Xiaoou nodded, and said frankly: "It has also lost its own race. I plan to take it with me and help it find its own race."
Seeing Eric panicked after speaking, he thought for a moment and said empathetically, "If you can't accept it, why don't we act separately."
Ji Xiaoou thought Eric would nod, because the fear on his face was not fake.
Unexpectedly, he shook his head, fixed his round eyes on the little leopard and said, "No, I want to be with you... If there is any danger on the road, I can protect you."
It is self-evident who "dangerous" refers to.
Ji Xiaoou couldn't refuse his kindness, so he had to go on the road with him.
It was getting late at this time, if they didn't set off quickly, they might not even be able to get out of this mountain today.
When Eric called Ji Xiaoou to stop, she had already put the compass back into her backpack.
Fortunately, she had already determined the direction before, as long as she walked straight ahead.
Ji Xiaoou walked in front, Eric walked behind.
On the way, Eric kept watching the little leopard in Ji Xiaoou's arms, and whenever the little leopard made any movements, he would be so nervous that his whole body would tense up.
The little leopard just raised its paw and gently scratched its ears, and Eric hurried back a few steps in a panic, his deer eyes full of vigilance.
The little leopard glanced at him silently, then lowered its paws, and yawned lazily and bored.
Don't take him seriously at all.
One person, one leopard and one deer walked for more than three hours, and after five o'clock in the afternoon, I finally found a cave suitable for staying.
The hole was low, and Erik was so tall that he had to bend over to get in.
Inside it was wide and deep, without straw or other things, and it didn't look like a place where bears lived.
Ji Xiaoou felt relieved, went outside to move some hay bales, spread them in the cave, and put the little leopard on them.
Eric was in charge of lighting the fire, and the flames sprang up, and the hole suddenly became much brighter. He didn't stay idle, turned around and left the cave again.
After a while, I brought back several kinds of wild fruits, "There is nothing edible nearby, I just picked some fruits, let's make up for a meal today, and I will see if there are any edible fresh mushrooms on the way tomorrow, we can roast some mushroom."
The little leopard raised its eyelids and breathed out through its nose.
Eric immediately looked at it nervously.
It turned over and ignored him.
The herbivores just don't pursue it, and a little roasted shiitake mushrooms can satisfy them.
Ji Xiaoou didn't pay attention to the undercurrent of these two animals, and reached out to peel a fruit.
This kind of fruit looks ugly and uneven. It belongs to the type that Ji Xiaoou would never pick. However, after peeling it off, white flesh flows out inside. Ji Xiaoou took a sip gently. It was sweet and fragrant, with coconut the taste of.
She thought it was not bad, so she peeled one and sent it to the little leopard, asking, "Do you want to eat it?"
The little leopard only took one look, then looked away lightly.
Ji Xiaoou: "..."
Well, he's a carnivore.
After dark, while Eric was asleep, Ji Xiaoou secretly took out two cartons of milk from the space.
A box of cuts was opened in front of the little leopard, one box was kept for himself, and a bag of beef jerky was cut up for the little leopard.
This time, the little leopard didn't refuse. He buried his head in the milk carton and drank it, eating all the jerky.
Ji Xiaoou couldn't help pinching its round ears, and muttered, "I didn't expect you to be picky eaters..."
The little leopard's ears moved, and he lowered his head without any resistance.
After the little leopard finished eating, she packed up the packing box and threw it in the corner of the space before lying back to sleep.
Little did she know, not long after she lay down, the little leopard lying in the corner slowly opened her eyes. The eyeballs rolled to observe the sleeping girl curled up on the opposite side.
After a while, he turned around and walked out of the cave.
In the darkness, a nimble figure moved quickly towards the woods behind.
Followed by two equally flexible figures.
In the depths of the forest, Ren stopped, with his back on his back, "Rhod, Dordo, who allowed you to follow?"
The voice was majestic and indifferent.
Ever since Ji Xiaoou ran away with him in his arms, the two orcs followed him not too far away.
Rhode stepped forward, opened his eyes, and asked incredulously, "Ren? It's really you!"
Immediately afterwards, "How did you become like this...!"
When the three words "ghost look" touched Ren's eyes, he swallowed them alive.
Ren turned around. It was different from the orc form of Rhodes and Dordo, and it was the original form of a minor.
Limbs on the ground, gray and black spots, standing there casually, there is an innate leadership temperament.
Because of this, Rhodes and Dordo were dumbfounded.
Ren's original body was a tall and strong adult cheetah. Even if he turned into an orc, he would still be the strongest and most heroic orc in the clan.
How did it become such a little one
Dordo was the first to come back to his senses, and asked, "Boss, what's going on?"
Race people tried their best to find him for three days, but there was no news of him.
According to Ren's ability, if he was not seriously injured and died, then he deliberately prevented them from finding him... He showed up on his own initiative yesterday, ruling out the first possibility.
So, is he deliberately avoiding the pursuit of his tribe
Dordo looked at the "infant" Ren, his eyes darkened, and he asked tentatively, "Where have you been these few days? Does it have something to do with your not going back to the race?"
Ren's tone was flat, half-truth and half-false, "I went to the wolf tribe for a while."
The pack of stupid wolves thought he was dead and were celebrating around the campfire.
Dordo asked again: "Since you are alive, why didn't you let us know? People in the clan guessed that you were dead. These days without your control, the clan has become very uneasy, and that fellow Raursis even encouraged everyone to reunite. Elect a new leader."
Dordo looked into his eyes, "If you don't go back, there may be civil strife in the clan."
The leopard clan is not a docile animal in the first place, and they are willing to be controlled by another leopard.
Renn became the leader at the beginning because he had an absolute advantage.
Powerful, ferocious, wise, above all leopard tribes, and convinced all tribes.
Because of this, Ren can't let the tribe know the fact of becoming smaller.
Including Rhodes and Dordo.
Yes, Ryan has been trapped in this tiny body since the injury.
Cannot return to adult form, nor can it transform into an orc.
At first he thought it was the work of the wolves. The wolves were treacherous and cunning, and they liked to show off some shady tricks.
But later, he discovered that it had nothing to do with the wolf clan.
The wolves only accidentally injured one of his legs, and the wound gradually began to heal, but he still couldn't change back to his original appearance.
As if being imprisoned by something.
The Leopard Clan is full of ambitious guys. When he was in good health, they were all dishonest.
If you know that he can only stay in this weak body now, wouldn't it be against the sky
"I'm not going back for now." Ren said calmly.
Dordo was taken aback, "What did you say?"
The night was silent, only Ren's low and slow voice remained. "I have another pressing matter now."
The cave at the other end suddenly lit up with a beam of translucent white light, and then a slender girl walked out of it.
The girl took a flashlight and looked around, but she didn't see the figure she was looking for. The voice came softly, "Hey, where did you go?"
The dazzling beam of light swept across the big tree in front of Ren, and he stepped back two steps, his eyes fixed on the girl.
Rhodes and Dordo followed suit.
Rhodes recognized her as the female during the day at a glance, and stared straight at her.
Dordo looked away, "Is this female another 'important thing' you said?"
Ren did not deny it: "It is."
He passed by the reindeer village this morning and heard Ji Xiaoou talking to the old patriarch, and learned that she was going to the eastern part of Bolnia to look for a water turtle named Pat.
He has heard a little about that water turtle, and it has lived for nearly eight hundred years. It is well-informed and knowledgeable.
Maybe he has a way to get his body back.
Dordo's face was strange, apparently he misunderstood something.
This female didn't even have any hair, she looked like a juvenile species, how could the leader like this
Ren didn't explain. Seeing Ji Xiaoou walking around outside the cave, he returned to the cave and called the reindeer up. He stretched his limbs and prepared to go back.
"Then what about the race while you're away?" Dordo finally asked.
"Let them go." Ren dropped this sentence, and after a few jumps, Rhodes and Dordo were left behind. "Tell them, whoever has the ability will take the position of leader away from me. If not, let them know that the law of the jungle is also applicable among the same clan."
At the end of the forest, a man and a deer are approaching.
Eric seemed relieved and comforted Ji Xiaoou, "Maybe it thought the road was boring and left by itself, or maybe it went looking for its own people... Ou, since it wants to leave, let it go..."
Ji Xiaoou held the flashlight, wondering what he was thinking.
Ren's eyes flashed, and he retracted his injured hind limb.
Therefore, after the animal is injured, the force is uneven, and the sound of light and heavy footsteps becomes more and more obvious.
Ji Xiaoou heard the voice and followed it.
At the same time, Ren leaned down, jumped, and threw himself into Ji Xiaoou's arms.
