The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Don't worry, sir, I've been waiting here."
As he spoke, he raised his voice and shouted: "Golden Cannon Head!"
"Shopkeeper Gu, here!"
A short, honest-looking man wearing a sheepskin waistcoat came over.
The shopkeeper introduced the two of them respectively: "This is the benefactor who provided the money, and this is the golden hunter. You two can discuss picking up the goods and paying for them." After that, he lowered his head to check the accounts and was busy with his own affairs.
Jin Orion didn't expect Zhao Lin to be so young. He was stunned for a moment and said, "The leopard is now in Hejiatun. Will my boss come with me to get it now?"
Zhao Lin said simply: "Without further ado, let's leave now!" After that, he asked again: "Is the leopard alive?"
Golden Orion immediately patted his chest and said, "It's alive and very vigorous!"
…
"What's your surname?"
After leaving the medicine hall, Golden Orion asked.
"My surname is Lin."
Zhao Lin smiled and replied, "Golden Orion, as far as I know, golden leopards are not easy to catch. How did you catch them?"
The corners of Golden Orion's mouth turned up, with a look of pride on his face, "As the saying goes, three tigers produce a leopard, and three spots produce a harrier. Although this golden leopard is not big, it is the most fierce and swift, and I am not bragging..."
Zhao Lin sighed secretly. He understood a truth very early: whenever someone says "I'm not bragging," that means they are bragging.
Jin Orion talked for a long time, but never got to the point.
Zhao Lin was a little impatient and accidentally glanced at him, suddenly feeling that his manner and tone were exactly the same as Zhou Paotou's.
I couldn't help but feel more cordial, and my mood calmed down, and I even hoped that he would continue to chatter.
"Chickens don't pee, they all have their own ways. In fact, there is nothing new. Our village just happened to be on an autumn tour a few days ago, and we saw traces of leopards..."
Jin Orion finally remembered Zhao Lin's question and said, "We saw your notice and set up an ambush with live sheep in the place where it often hangs out."
"There are many people hunting in our village. We set up five spots in total and sent people to guard them every day. After half a month of hard work, we finally caught one."
"That's not easy..."
The two talked all the way and soon arrived at Hejiatun.
Walking not far from the village, Zhao Lin saw many people gathering at the end of the village. He stopped and said, "I don't like the crowd, so I won't go into the village. Please help Brother Jin to carry the leopard over."
On the one hand, he did this to protect himself, and on the other hand, he also wanted to avoid causing trouble to the villagers.
"Easy to say."
The golden hunter agreed, walked over quickly, chatted with the villagers for a few words, and then called a man in his thirties. The two of them, one behind the other, came over carrying a leopard tied to a wooden stick.
Zhao Lin came closer to take a look, and saw that the leopard's limbs were tied tightly, and even its mouth was tied with a hemp rope. It roared violently from its throat.
To Zhao Lin, the roar sounded like the sound of a motorcycle starting.
This leopard's head and body are about one meter long, and its tail is also nearly one meter long. It has a well-proportioned body, slender limbs, and a perfect streamline shape, with extremely obvious muscle lines.
The fur all over the body is bright and brown in color, with black spots and rings all over the body, like copper coins printed on the body.
"What an animal born to run!"
Zhao Lin praised in his heart, took out two ingots of twenty taels and one ingot of ten taels of official silver and gave them to Jin Orion.
"This is the reward, Brother Jin, keep it."
The golden hunter was overjoyed. He took the silver in his hand and inspected it carefully, biting it with his teeth and weighing it with his hands. Finally he remembered and asked Zhao Lin: "This leopard is heavier than a human. How did you get rid of it?"
Zhao Lin smiled, grabbed the wooden stick with one hand, and easily picked up the leopard.
"Goodbye, see you later!"
…
After leaving Hejiatun, Zhao Lin walked far to the northwest and came to a wilderness and hilly area. He found a hidden forest and went into it.
I put down the leopard and looked at it carefully. I found that it was a male, and I couldn't help but be even more satisfied.
I don't know if it was luck or coincidence, but the old scalpers, bear bears and black horned antelopes that Zhao Lin absorbed were all male.
Only the horseshoe bats really can't tell the difference between male and female.
Generally speaking, male individuals in the animal world are larger and have better athletic abilities than females.
Zhao Lin was not sure whether this would affect the quality of the soul, but as a man, absorbing the soul of a male animal would always be psychologically easier to accept.
"Leopard, leopard, don't blame me. You were born to be a dish in the world. If I kill you this year, I will come back next year."
Zhao Lin muttered in a low voice while taking out the cooked copper stick.
People in the village often use this saying when killing chickens. Zhao Lin also imitated it, but replaced the chickens with leopards.
boom!
Zhao Lin raised his stick and dropped it. With a muffled sound, the golden leopard fell to the ground without any pain.
After a while, a silver light emerged from the corpse, rising, gathering, and gradually taking shape...
The spirit animal picture in Zhao Lin's mind began to shake, and the impala head in the second grid loomed, as if calling.
As he expected, it was also a speed talent, but the Golden Leopard's spirit level was higher.
Can be replaced!
Zhao Lin sucked hard and all the silver light entered his body.
"hiss……"
He felt his scalp numb and a shiver rising from his back.
The cramping and peeling pain reappeared.
He originally thought that having absorbed the soul of the impala, it would be "smoother" this time, but he didn't expect the reaction to be so intense.
The pain is mainly concentrated in the neck, back, armpit and lumbar tendons and other trunk areas, causing constant pulling and twisting!
Fortunately, this was not the first time. Zhao Lin had already developed his tolerance for pain. After persisting for about a quarter of an hour, the soul was finally absorbed.
Zhao Lin rested for a while, then drank the water in the water bag and ate all the meatloaf he had brought.
Now looking at the spirit animal picture, the avatar in the second grid has been replaced from an impala to a leopard.
Zhao Lin moved on the spot, and the effect was immediate!
The body is full of vitality, and the fascial tendons are more resilient and elastic, which can be felt without running.
After the physical activity started, Zhao Lin did two tests: jumping in place and sprinting short distances.
His jumping ability has been further improved, and he can easily jump over two feet, as if there are springs on his legs.
However, the change in sprint speed is more obvious. It truly achieves a "catapult start" and goes from standstill to galloping in just an instant.
Zhao Lin even experienced an experience similar to a "push on the back" because he started too quickly.
"Haha, I wonder what my zero-hundred acceleration is?"
Zhao Lin was in a good mood and felt like he was one step closer to training.
If we only talk about speed, no one can be faster than me even in Qi realm.
…
In the afternoon, Zhao Lin returned to Qinghe County with the leopard.
Although he doesn't have to worry about money now, leopard bone is a very good medicinal material with similar effects to tiger bone. It can dispel wind, relieve pain and strengthen bones.
Master is old, so it would be good to use it to make wine.
