Occasionally, you can see videos on the Internet of driving home during the Chinese New Year and encountering wild Siberian tigers on the road.
In the past few years, the government even revised a series of regulations such as the Animal Protection Law because of the proliferation of wild pigs, which damaged farmers' crops.
Generally speaking, Yang Xiao strongly encourages this national policy.
After all, it has been said for hundreds of years that man and nature live in harmony. The environment is better and there are more animals, which is good for everyone's health.
But now, he was alone in this wilderness, encountering a large beast, which was indeed quite bad.
The quantity of these guys should be properly controlled, otherwise, it will be too dangerous.
Only then did Yang Xiao realize why there were no other small animals in this area. It turned out to be this guy's territory.
It is estimated that this creek is its exclusive water source.
To the beasts that occupy this place, they are the intruders.
Glancing at the diverted stream, it was no wonder that wild beasts were about to attack him. Yang Xiao was indeed rude and damaged the surrounding environment quite a bit.
In other words, if you break into someone else's home and casually change their decoration, can they forgive you?
Suddenly, Yang Xiao suddenly turned around and took a closer look. He finally knew what the black shadow just now was.
It turned out to be a very healthy adult black panther!
Carnivora, Catidae, Leopard; generally produced in southern Asia, the Arabian Peninsula and Africa.
Leopards have smaller heads and shorter ears than tigers. Adult leopards are generally about one and a half meters long and weigh slightly less than adults.
In terms of habits, leopards live in forests, mountains, grasslands and deserts. They are solitary in nature, active at night, and can climb trees and swim.
He can run at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour and can jump six meters away and three meters high. He is known as the "all-around champion".
It has extremely sensitive vision, hearing and smell, and preys on various small and medium-sized animals.
The information about countless black panthers suddenly became clear in his mind.
He held the branch tightly in his hand, but he felt no sense of security at all. The black panther in front of Yang Xiao should be the overlord of this mountain forest. It should live a relatively moist life. Not only is its body shiny, but its body is also extremely strong.
A simple visual inspection shows that its body length is close to two meters.
In front of the Black Panther, Yang Xiao's height of 8.8 meters had no advantage at all.
His breathing became extremely careful, and at this moment, his heartbeat accelerated to the extreme.
After watching the animal world, even children know that big cats are absolutely terrifying super killers in the wild.
Tens of thousands of years of evolution have allowed this terrifying creature to stand at the top of the planet's food chain, overlooking the thousands of species below.
Yang Xiao could even feel an astonishing momentum building up on the Black Panther.
I saw it walking lightly and steadily, lowering its head, and walking towards the stream little by little, always keeping a vigilant three meters away from Yang Xiao.
Due to the intense fear stimulation, the release of adrenaline made Yang Xiao tremble slightly.
Countless thoughts flashed across his mind, and his mind was thinking rapidly about how to save his life.
Playing dead?
No, that's a skill that can only be used when facing a bear. This is a leopard, not a big stupid bear.
Climb a tree? Are you kidding me? It's better at climbing than you, okay? See its sharp claws? Even if you climb a tree, it can get you out of the tree.
Turn around and run? Don't be so stupid, you can still outrun the fastest mammal on earth? Besides, this is the terrain that the Black Panther is best at. You will probably be pounced on before you even start.
Cold sweat spread all over my body before I knew it.
As an intelligent creature, facing the danger of life and death, Yang Xiao's heart was also full of fear after rebirth.
That's the biological instinct, he doesn't want to die.
For the time being, it looked as if the panther was just here to drink. It lowered its head, licking the sweet mountain spring, and its tail swayed slightly happily.
Only Yang Xiao still didn't dare to relax at all. He knew that he was different from other beasts.
Cats have a terrible habit of killing playfully and pursuing their hunting instincts.
Some domestic pet cats will catch mice or birds, not because they are hungry, but to toy with them bit by bit (nue@) to kill them, even though they have the ability to kill them with one blow.
Catching prey is sometimes just because you like the process of playing with the prey. Relying on the canine teeth to sense the vital points of the prey is very cruel to the prey.
Especially once captured, the spine can be inserted by the canine teeth, and the spinal cord can be cut off at any time. It is a horror that humans cannot imagine.
Yang Xiao couldn't hope that Black Panther would be merciful and let him go. Even if the black panther is not hungry, he will definitely attack an intruder like him.
Now, there's only one possibility for a brief moment of peace. After all, he is over 1.8 meters tall and does not look weak. The black panther is just unfamiliar with it. It is evaluating whether the human in front of it is dangerous if it attacks.
Under the stimulation of adrenaline, Yang Xiao felt as if his whole body was full of strength, and his brain also became much easier to use and his thinking became more agile.
Countless information flowed through his brain at an alarming speed, and he even remembered a joke he had read many years ago.
When you encounter a tiger, never turn your back to it, otherwise it will treat you as prey and kill you easily.
At this time, you must be brave and don’t be so scared that you wet your pants.
Then, slowly raise your hands, not to surrender, but to make you look bigger, more powerful, and more threatening.
Then, while roaring with all his strength, he rushed towards the tiger. In this way, you will have two completely different endings.
First, if the tiger is scared away by you, you will survive.
Of course there is a high probability of another ending, at least you can die with more dignity this way.
Yang Xiao didn't want to die with dignity, he didn't want to die at all! When I read that joke, I remember still laughing, but now, he really can't laugh anymore.
Regardless, the first half of the joke is quite useful.
Lifting the branch, Yang Xiao made himself look taller and more powerful, and at the same time, he began to make a deep sound.
Although he was still scared and timid, he tried hard to maintain the image that the old man was not afraid of you.
In order to avoid directly irritating the black panther, he did not escape immediately, but slowly retreated. This was the only way he could think of for a brief moment.
Yang Xiao was still a little lucky, and it would be best if he could escape smoothly. He really didn't want to have a conflict with the big cat, because he really had no chance of winning.
Even if he was lucky enough to drive away the Black Panther, he would definitely be injured. In this damn mountain forest, if he was injured and couldn't get help, he wouldn't be able to survive.
Another important point is that although he had eaten something just now, his body was still a little weak and was far from its peak condition.
Now, it is so obvious that the enemy is strong and we are weak, what else can we do, we can only pretend to be cowardly, which is not shameful at all.
If kowtowing to the Black Panther to beg for mercy was useful, Yang Xiao now felt that he would not hesitate at all.
Survival is more important than anything else.
After dying once in the laboratory, he now values his life even more.
Just as Yang Xiao retreated a little bit, he noticed that the black panther was also staring at him.
It was completely black and had no leopard-like markings. It was like the tail of a steel whip, swaying casually.
"Oh~"
Staring at Yang Xiao's golden eyes, as if with a hint of teasing, he opened his mouth wide and let out a low roar at the man.
One man and one beast faced each other nervously.
At the same time, this mountain was actually not quiet. A total of twelve hunter teams, with a total of more than two hundred people, searched in the mountains and forests for almost a week, but found nothing.
Among them, the nearest team is less than two kilometers away from Yang Xiao's current location.
"Boss, how long do you think we will continue to stay here? It has been six days, and the drones have flown this area no less than five times. There is nothing abnormal at all. The intelligence from the headquarters is not wrong, right?"
One of the team members walking at the end of the team had a look of exhaustion on his face. He was also a well-trained warrior, but this mission was really beyond his comprehension.
They had no idea what they were looking for here. After receiving the order from the headquarters, they took a coordinated military transport plane and rushed to this inhospitable place.
"Who knows? Before the team leader's new order is issued, continue to search for any anomalies. Chen Yuan, I say you are the only one who talks too much. Go back and write a 5,000-word review for me. Otherwise, you will go to the solitary room and stay in the solitary room for three days. "
"Copy that, Captain." Chen Yuan replied feebly, not daring to question any more. He knew that if he said one more word, the five thousand-word review would become ten thousand words. He was too familiar with the captain's temper. His dear cousin was so upright and unruly. If he didn't write the review well, he would really be thrown into a dark solitary room.
I can't afford to offend you, can I just shut up?
As the captain of this team, Chen Feng also looked serious at this moment. Since it was an emergency mission, the equipment they carried was quite complete. However, each person only carried a week's worth of food.
They have been searching for six days now. Maybe if there is no harvest tomorrow, the mission will be almost over. It is obvious that they have failed.
For elites like them, this is an unacceptable failure.
At regular meetings every night, each unit reports on the situation. So far, the twelve hunter teams have not found anything.
If he hadn't known that the headquarters' intelligence must be correct, he would have suspected that this was just an exercise.
However, regarding the failure of this mission, Chen Feng knew that there were other reasons for interference. For example, the military basically did not provide them with technical support this time, and even their applications for military satellites were successively rejected. As for the reason, it is not difficult to guess that there should be bigger changes in other parts of country Z.
"Every unit, stay vigilant. The enemy may be right next to us. You must know that we are on the battlefield now, and the battlefield cannot tolerate any negligence!"
"Yes!" everyone replied in unison.
