Chapter 152 Today we returned safely and smoothly
Jiang Zhiyue held her breath.
The only sounds in the forest are the wind and breathing.
Gurgle, gurgle...similar to the growl of an animal.
At a very close distance, Jiang Zhiyue felt something standing in front of her, "Jaguar?"
These are the only footprints ever found in the vicinity.
Xiao Jingrun did not comment. In the last moment before the torch went out, he saw five jaguars in front of him.
This is the territory of wild animals. Although many studies have shown that most wild animals have a natural fear of humans, do not approach them, do not make a sound, keep facing them directly, and do not show any fear. After a brief eye contact, they will leave.
Obviously, this experiment made an incorrect prediction about the creatures on the desert island.
It has been a long time since humans set foot here. The last humans to land on the island were criminals who were stranded here in the last century. The land that has not been invaded by humans is a paradise for animals to hunt to their heart's content.
The jaguar has excellent night vision and is a natural hunter.
The torches went out, and they were approaching the two of them. Their eyes, like two green lanterns, were shining, sharp and captivating.
They surrounded the two men, without making any further moves for the time being, but were just weighing each other's strength.
Xiao Jingrun is tall, about 1.89 meters tall, standing upright in the darkness like an insurmountable mountain, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
There was no fear in his eyes, and even the rise and fall of his breathing was calm.
Jiang Zhiyue was puzzled. It seemed very strange to encounter a jaguar at this time. Jaguars are solitary animals and like to come out and hunt for food at night.
It’s just getting dark and I’ve encountered so many things. Is this just a coincidence?
Jiang Zhiyue stood behind Xiao Jingrun. The man's tall body was like a wall, blocking half of the oncoming cold air. But she thought of something and suddenly turned around, standing back to back with Xiao Jingrun.
These animals usually attacked from behind, aiming for a fatal bite to the neck, and she must never turn her back to them.
"President." Her voice was like a gust of wind blowing through Xiao Jingrun's ears, "They look like they are hunting us, and they won't leave for a while."
Xiao Jingrun's breathing was slightly heavy, "Do you believe in the knowledge you learned from the textbooks?"
Jiang Zhiyue was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the man's intention, "Do you want to escape? But this will stimulate the jaguar's hound instinct and chase us."
The sound of the wind in the forest grew louder, and the gurgling sounds coming from the throats of the five jaguars became louder and louder.
"Roar~" An angry roar came from Jiang Zhiyue's left side.
They are very smart. Compared to the tall Xiao Jingrun, the petite Jiang Zhiyue became the first target.
Jiang Zhiyue's heart was beating fast. It was the first time she encountered such a situation in her life. When the cheetahs that could pounce on her and tear her into pieces at any time surrounded her, she seemed to have become a meal in their eyes.
She lit a torch and tried to drive the jaguar away with the flames. The jaguar took a few steps back but still refused to leave, waiting around like a rabbit by a tree.
They are well aware of the laws of nature.
As night falls and the weather turns cold, they will eventually be unable to bear it, and once they relax, it will be the best time for them to pounce on them.
Xiao Jingrun realized the problem and said, "This is not a solution. Do you remember the way back? No matter how thick the fog is, keep running towards the north."
"I'll tell you to run later, and you can run. With me here, they won't chase you."
"President, if I hadn't walked so slowly, I wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing." Jiang Zhiyue pursed her lips. The mountain road was steep and she had been walking behind. Xiao Jingrun would wait for her for a while after every few steps.
Just like Chu Junyue said, every time she tried to escape from them, she would encounter bad luck.
"Do you like to reflect on yourself?" Xiao Jingrun curled his thin lips lightly, feeling a little amused, "All the dangers in fate, everything you have to go through, none of us can avoid it."
"Today we returned safely and smoothly, but tomorrow the danger will come again in another form."
"It's very unusual for the forest to be foggy during this time. We are currently located east of the mountain, 32.3 degrees northeast. The water vapor in the air is not likely to reach saturation, which is not conducive to the formation of clouds and fog."
Jiang Zhiyue also found it very strange. This incident was similar to Chu Junche falling into a pit.
It seems like there is an invisible big hand controlling everything.
Xiao Jingrun came from a distinguished family, and was always accompanied by followers and bodyguards when he traveled. If someone wanted to assassinate him, it would be difficult to do so in public, and it would also be easy to be caught with evidence.
However, Xiao Jingrun died on the deserted island due to non-human factors. Even if the Xiao family wanted to investigate, it would be useless. The Xiao family would not judge all the students who landed on the island for a dead heir, not to mention that Qin Si and others were among them.
Jiang Zhiyue was wearing thin clothes and soon felt cold. The man's warm back pressed against her, and the warmth came through the thin clothes, but her back was soaked with sweat.
Her hands holding the torch were red from the cold, and the flame shook violently. The jaguar seemed to have sensed something, and its fangs were exposed on its lips. Its tense body was like a bowstring ready to be released.
They target thin girls.
At this critical moment, Xiao Jingrun pushed her and quickly snatched the torch from her hand. Jaguars are afraid of light, and as soon as the torch was in Xiao Jingrun's hand, their attention was attracted.
Jiang Zhiyue staggered forward a few steps. There was a bush behind her. Xiao Jingrun stood in front of her. The two jaguars that were originally surrounding her ran to the front.
The dense bushes and plants were used to block intruders. The jaguar would instinctively avoid them. Jiang Zhiyue only heard a voice in her ear saying "Run!"
The big hand pushed her hard.
As if driven by a force, she ran forward desperately.
The biting cold wind whistled in her ears and felt as painful as a knife when it blew on her face. Jiang Zhiyue ran for a distance and suddenly stopped.
She gasped for breath and suddenly turned back.
She picked up the dead wood on the ground, lit a small flame, ran back without hesitation and threw the lighter on the ground. The lighter fluid leaked on the ground, and Jiang Zhiyue quickly threw the burning dead wood over.
With a bang, a fireball hits you in the face instantly!
"Let's run!" She grabbed Xiao Jingrun's hand and ran forward almost desperately.
The wind was getting louder, I couldn't hear anything and my steps were totally out of control.
"The fireball can only delay time. We must get back to the camp as quickly as possible." She remained calm.
