Just as the mother cheetah was about to charge towards the cubs, a huge figure suddenly appeared from behind them, opening its mouth wide and roaring at the cheetah, which frightened the cheetah into retreating.
Despite the orangutan's docile demeanor, the female cheetah was no match for it in a fight. The female cheetah immediately pulled the baby into her arms. When the female cheetah turned around, she realized that the male cheetah was dead. She panicked, shrank her neck, and prepared to retreat, quickly fleeing into the jungle.
Seeing Li Sheng's nervous appearance, the older sister also became very uneasy. Her heart had sank when the mother cheetah charged at the cubs.
Li Sheng's face turned from white to black, and he held a tree branch in his hand. He wanted to give Naituan a complete childhood. Although the old father was very touched, he was a little surprised that the child had already gone to see her mother.
"Didn't I tell you to stay in the shelter? What are you doing bringing that girl here? Do you know how dangerous it is in the forest? If she had been a step slower, you would have been eaten."
The young woman held the baby tightly in her arms, leaving Li Sheng with nowhere to put his little wooden stick. He was even a little exasperated: "Young woman, let go of me!!!"
The older sister was also stubborn; she wouldn't allow anyone to bully the little creature in her arms. She yelled at Li Sheng, and he was already furious enough to die before the cheetah ate him.
Now that the milk group has the big girls protecting them, he can't fight back, so he can only vent his anger on the male leopard. He's never eaten leopard meat before and doesn't know what it tastes like.
Li Sheng immediately used an axe to split the leopard in half on the spot, removing all its internal organs. Now that food resources are plentiful and salt is available, there's no need to keep the internal organs. They are particularly fishy and don't taste good, making them almost inedible. Besides, this leopard weighs at least 150 kilograms, so carrying it back would be quite strenuous. Removing the internal organs would make things easier.
Milkball kept his mouth pursed the whole way, not daring to say a word. The viewers in the live stream were like they'd been injected with adrenaline after witnessing such a thrilling and exciting scene. This comeback from the brink of defeat was just too beautiful.
"Ye Wang is so handsome! I declare that Ye Wang is the most handsome man in the world."
"How did he do that? I couldn't even see the movement clearly, and the leopard was already disemboweled when it hit the ground."
"Wow, this young lady is so brave! She scared away the mother leopard with just one shout."
"Wouldn't the female leopard be very sad without her mate?"
"So cool! Is this even human? I'm bowing down in admiration."
"Thank goodness the streamer didn't die, I was so scared. It's all thanks to the milk team. Streamer, could you please stop hitting the child?"
"I disagree. I think they should still be given a beating. They're so young and have too many ideas. It's dangerous."
"I've found that the younger the child, the less fear they have; this is what they mean by 'a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger.'"
...
Having survived the ordeal, those watching the live stream expressed their relief for Li Sheng. The two elderly people in front of the screen had almost fainted from fright and were barely clinging to life. Now that Li Sheng and Naituan were alright, the two elderly people came to their senses, covered in cold sweat. Even Zhang Hang almost thought he was going to lose his golden job.
He lit three more incense sticks: "Ancestors, I have come to fulfill my vow. Thank you for protecting my brother and helping him through this difficult time. Please keep up the good work and let more smoke rise, so that my brother can win first place."
Zhang Hang's sincerity was genuine. His elderly father, who was lying in bed with only his upper body remaining after amputation, vaguely saw his son like this and thought he had gone mad.
Grandpa Bei deeply regretted closing his eyes just now. He had just missed such a wonderful moment. How exactly did Li Sheng kill the leopard? Not only did he kill the leopard, but he also escaped unharmed. This was truly admirable.
After getting off work, Beiye secretly watched the screen recordings from netizens dozens of times and still couldn't get enough. He just couldn't imagine how an unknown person could have such a fast reaction speed. Could this be the legendary Southern Kung Fu?
Many questions popped into Grandpa's mind. He was determined to have a thorough discussion with this young man after the challenge was over.
Now, Bei Ye has completely lost interest in watching other challenge groups' live streams; all his attention is focused on Li Sheng, who feels like he's playing a very new wilderness challenge.
Li Sheng went through a lot of trouble to bring the male leopard home, but what should he do with the 200-plus pounds of meat?
This leopard skin is quite a good thing. Li Sheng's first step was to peel off the leopard skin. The way he peeled the skin was like a fairy dancing on an oil-paper umbrella. He held the axe with great lightness and graceful movements. It was a beautiful artistic performance.
This leopard doesn't have much fat, but it can still render a lot of oil. With the oil, you can stir-fry vegetables and fry eggs, opening up a whole new realm of culinary delights.
As for the hide, that can be dealt with later. The most urgent task is to process the leopard meat, which needs to be preserved for a long time. With so much leopard meat and the gorilla, it can last for at least a month, so there's no need to worry about food for a month.
But if it's not saved properly, it's worthless.
The tropical rainforest is hot and humid, which will speed up the decay process. Li Sheng first applied a thin layer of salt to the surface, and then cut the leopard meat into strips about the thickness of two thumbs, which would be hung up to be smoked later.
After being cut up, the large strips of meat were piled up into a small hill, and the bones filled another small hill. The marrow inside these bones was also edible.
We've taken care of all the bone marrow issues today.
Li Sheng used a stone hammer to dig three shallow rectangular pits in the ground. He laid dry grass at the bottom, lit it, added chopped firewood, and then placed semi-dried plants on top. Smoke immediately began to rise.
A long rack stood above the pit, and three racks were filled with leopard meat. This meat had to be smoked day and night, and someone had to watch over it all the time.
At this moment, the gorilla relaxed and stopped looking at the baby. The baby thought that her father would not hit her, but Li Sheng suddenly picked her up and hit her hard on the butt twice.
"Do you know you were wrong?"
The little girl, with tears the size of pearls, slid down her cheeks, looking so pitiful that it was heartbreaking. Her voice was both childish and aggrieved: "Daddy, I know I was wrong."
Li Sheng still had a stern face: "Then tell me where you went wrong?"
Milkball: "I was wrong about everything."
Trying to play word games with him: "Where did you go wrong?"
Milkball: "I'm wrong wherever Daddy says I am."
Li Sheng's veins were bulging, and he slapped her buttocks twice more hard. He raised his hand high, but brought it down gently, with a force similar to a tickle. After all, she was his own daughter, and he couldn't bear to hit her: "From now on, if Dad tells you not to come out of the shelter, you can't come out. Your safety must come first in everything, understand?"
