China, Spring City.
Chen Long, who was covered in weather and looked a little embarrassed, was walking on a big mountain on the border. He had been here for four days. He could feel that the legendary armor of the gods was somewhere here, but he was Not found.
Taking out the kettle and taking a sip of water, Chen Long looked helplessly at the endless jungle. Looking for armor was like looking for relics.
Thinking of this, Chen Long paused. The ruins are right. Who can say that the armor does not belong to the ruins?
Chen Long's eyes shone slightly and he put the water bottle into the hiking bag behind his back.
If you think of this as your major, then you seem to have an idea.
He took out the map and carefully observed the terrain. He looked up at the rising sun to confirm his position. Chen Long decisively walked towards the mountainside.
Dad said that the era of gods and demons was more than 50,000 years ago, so the ruins were probably buried under some trees halfway up the mountain.
As for the top of the mountain, it is not impossible, but he is at the top of the mountain now. He has searched carefully and there is no trace at all.
This mountain has not been developed and is considered a natural barrier. However, Chen Long now has extraordinary strength, so even on this wild mountain, going downhill is as smooth as walking on flat ground.
Kaka~kaka~
After walking about a hundred meters, the sound of leaves being trampled was heard, and it did not come from Chen Long's feet. Judging from the sound of the leaves being broken, the owner of the sound was not light.
Chen Long instantly closed the map in his hand and looked at the source of the sound with a wary face.
Click~
When Chen Long stopped, the creatures hidden in the woods also stopped.
"Come out, stop hiding, I saw you." Chen Long clenched his fists, lowered his body, and spoke vigilantly.
There was no movement at all on the opposite side, as if the sound just now did not exist. For a while, only some insects were still chirping in the field, and even the chirping of the birds was much quieter.
Chen Long thought for a while and began to back away with alert eyes.

The sound of the soles of shoes crushing leaves was extremely harsh in the current forest, and a dangerous aura appeared in Chen Long's heart, making him stop in his tracks.
"Hoo, hoo~"
The sound of heavy breathing came from the direction where the creature was hiding. Chen Long listened carefully, then suddenly his eyes narrowed and he murmured: "Oh~ bad luck!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge yellow figure rushed out of the hiding place and rushed towards him fiercely.
"Roar~"
The deafening roar of a tiger exploded above his head. Chen Long watched the top predator attack and rolled over to hide behind a big tree without even thinking.
There are actually tigers in this mountain! And Chen Long also knows its species.
Bengal tiger!
A three-meter-long behemoth, if you encounter a wild one, you can basically say goodbye to this world.
Chen Long was also very panicked. After the tiger landed, he rushed over here without even thinking, without any hesitation.
A golden light flashed across Chen Long's body, and he instantly jumped onto a large tree that could be hugged by two people, watching the tiger below with vigilance.
At this time, he also reacted. Looking at the golden light on his body, his eyes changed from panic to helpless.
Official-level samurai can already defeat this kind of tiger, but this thing is endangered and is a protected animal. It can't be injured or killed.
"Roar~"
The tiger at his feet let out a hungry growl and looked at Chen Long with ferocious eyes. He placed two tiger paws as big as a human head on the tree and tried to climb up to get his breakfast.
"Get out of here quickly. I didn't know this was your territory. I will leave soon." Chen Long was even more helpless. He tried to reason with Tiger.
But the tiger didn't seem to want to accept his suggestion. Its two muscular hind legs were slightly bent, and the next moment they straightened violently, and jumped up fiercely.
Chen Long looked around, then grabbed a vine and prepared to be like Tarzan. If he couldn't afford to offend him, why not hide from him?
But the tiger below seemed to be very familiar with prey escaping in this way. It stopped climbing and slowly retreated downwards, staring closely at Chen Long's movements.
Chen Long paused and smiled on his face: "I'm not a monkey. You can't catch me the same way you catch monkeys."
The tiger was still stubborn. After retreating to the ground, he raised his head and stared at this novel monkey. Predators never lack patience.
Chen Long grabbed the vine, slightly bent his legs on the tree trunk, and ejected, making a graceful arc in the air, and landed steadily on the tree ten meters away.
With a pleasant smile on his face, he grabbed another vine, turned around and said jokingly: "Mr. Tiger, let me go."
But as soon as he turned around, he immediately saw that the tiger was already staying under the tree, and his voice stopped.
Chen Long frowned: "You are really an experienced hunter."
"Hey, archaeologist who knows kung fu, do you need help?"
At this time, a pleasant female voice came, which stopped Chen Long from preparing to swing out.
His mind instantly thought of the identity of the visitor, and then he thought of the dream. A trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes, and his body shone with golden light, spreading a not-so-weak power.
Chen Long shouted anxiously: "Don't come over, there are tigers here!"
Although the big guy below is a first-level protected animal, in Chen Long's heart, the law is people-oriented, and all laws should retreat in the face of human life.
Whether it is a first-level protected animal, or even higher, there is no reason for him to watch tigers eat people, not to mention that small snakes are different.
The tiger under the tree sensed Chen Long's power, its hair stood on end, its body suddenly lowered, and it let out a threatening roar.
It felt a fatal threat from the monkey on the tree. It already wanted to retreat at this moment. It is the nature of wild beasts to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
"Huh?" The little snake paused, then jumped out of the darkness in an instant, ran to the tiger, and said comfortingly: "Big cat, lie down, there is no danger here."
Her words seemed to be particularly useful. After the gentle voice fell, the tiger with explosive fur still roared vigilantly, but it did not have as severe a stress reaction as before.
Touching the tiger's head soothingly, the little snake raised his head and said helplessly: "Mr. Chen Long, have you forgotten that I am a cat person now, and I have a natural affinity for all felines, and tigers will not Hurt me.”
Chen Long paused, his tense body relaxed slightly, and the golden light on his body also dissipated.
Looking at the scene of beasts and beauties below, Chen Long breathed a long sigh of relief: "Why are you here?"
The little snake stroked the tiger's head, lowered his head and whispered to the tiger: "You go first, we will wander around your territory, don't worry, we won't steal your food."
The tiger looked up at the little snake, purred a few times, turned around and quickly disappeared into the jungle.
After doing this, the little snake raised his head with a smile on his face: "Don't forget, I am also a Chinese, and now I am the envoy of the cat people. Some trade with humans must of course be considered for the sake of the motherland. After all, with whom to trade?" It’s all the same.”
Chen Long was startled and fell silent as he recalled his dream that night.
A ray of sunlight passed through the gap between the leaves and shone on the face of the little snake, making Chen Long's eyes a little dazed. The dream seemed to be real. Thieves in this group also had involuntary behaviors.
"What's wrong?" Little Snake was confused. She thought of something, and she smiled again: "You don't think I'm here just for you, do you? It turns out that our archaeologists also have narcissistic moments."
Her voice woke up Chen Long, who was in a trance. His eyes were a little dodgey: "No, I was thinking about a dream I had before. It felt very magical."
The little snake raised his eyebrows, and the cat's tail behind him slowly swung, and said teasingly: "Hey, Mr. Chen Long still uses such an old way of picking up conversations? It's just your words, and it doesn't seem to be as greasy as I imagined."
Chen Long jumped down from the tree, his expression a little unnatural, and his voice became hesitant: "Just call me Chen Long, but this is not a chat, like some kind of metaphysics? Although it is a bit rude, I want to ask you, Did you leave the country when you were eleven?"
The smile on Little Snake's face disappeared and she frowned at Chen Long: "What do you know?"
Chen Long paused, the unnaturalness in his eyes deepened, and the little snake's reaction seemed to confirm something.
It was a tragic story about a little girl from an orphanage who was abducted from China to the United States.
The protagonist of the story is Little Snake, who was sold to a pickpocket organization.
Unable to go to school and in a foreign country, it seemed that he had no choice but to become excellent in that organization and become a real thief.
After all, those organizations are very cruel and cannot benefit them. What awaits them may be to be sold to the next worse organization.
After she got used to the darkness, and when the organization was suddenly taken over by District 13, she had no knowledge. She seemed to have no chance of survival other than continuing to use the only skill she had learned to steal.
She couldn't even provide proof of identity
Thinking about this information, there was no pity in Chen Long's eyes. These past events were not what they wanted to remember. Pity was another blow to this kind of person's miserable childhood.
He said seriously: "It's nothing, it's just that Blake couldn't find your information and wanted to confirm it."
The little snake paused and relaxed a little: "I am the number one thief in the industry, how can it be possible for Black to find out the information? Come on, big archaeologist, let me go shopping with you?"
Chen Long smiled and nodded: "Of course, this is my honor."
Little Snake looked at Chen Long strangely and said jokingly: "Why isn't it called catching a thief now? You are such a fickle man."
"As you said, you are now the representative cat person. As long as you don't harm people, then human laws seem to have no control over you." Chen Long said jokingly.
The two slowly walked into the jungle.
"That's not necessarily true. Who says cat people are not human beings? Can't I swing left and right?"
"How can that be done? Call me a cat when you make a mistake, and call me a human when nothing happens. Ms. Cat, you are so greedy."
"Can't we give the lady some privileges? After all, I gave China the opportunity to exchange ancient magic. I believe that the cat people can eventually integrate into the human race. When the time comes, I will be the hero."
"ennnn Then I'll think about it."
The conversation between the two gradually faded away and disappeared into this unexplored jungle.
Behind him, the huge tiger stepped on a bloody adult deer, staring silently at the place where they disappeared.
The woman said that she would not poach her prey. These days, there are fewer and fewer prey in the mountains, so she has to save her food.
It must not be eaten by other animals, not even that extremely kind cat person!
