Two months and twenty-five days.
Li Sheng looked along the bamboo stalks that had gone into the water to the other side, and saw that there was no damage visible to the naked eye.
"Strange, why is there suddenly no water?"
The water source is definitely fine; perhaps something damaged the bamboo. He needs to go out and check.
Now the four leopard cubs have grown very strong, and strangely enough, they all like to stay around the baby.
Aside from drinking milk at their mother's place, they spend most of their time with the milk ball, and this time when they went out, Cuihua followed behind.
Unlike dogs, which would scout ahead, Cuihua only followed at a distance. Now, Cuihua has become quite plump from all the feeding he's given her.
You can vaguely see a little belly, and it rarely steps out of the yard to hunt, perhaps because it's worried about its cubs.
These past two days, he's been following me around when I go out, and occasionally he'll come over and rub against my leg, acting all cute.
With such a capable assistant by his side, he felt very safe.
Now Cuihua's leg injury has healed completely, but there is still an unsightly scar that can't grow hair. From a human perspective, it's rather unsightly.
But this is nothing to leopards; for them, simply being alive is a blessing.
As Li Sheng followed the bamboo, he only saw the damaged area when he was almost at the end. The joint of the bamboo had been trampled into the ground, and there was a large footprint sunk into the ground.
These footprints clearly indicate what it is: "It's a bear."
Suddenly, Cuihua lay down on her stomach, staring intently at a certain spot. Li Sheng looked in that direction and spotted the bear he had been thinking about day and night for the past few days.
He had been lurking near the sanctuary, and although the bears might not be able to get in and pose a significant threat, it was still a potential danger that he had to deal with.
The same arrows coated with fresh venom and the large axe still come out every day, draining the venom sacs of several snakes daily. The snakes in the cages have visibly become thinner.
Li Sheng also crawled down, determined to capture this bear today and taste what its paws were like.
However, this bear was enormous, appearing to be three times the size of Li Sheng. He had never seen such a large bear before.
The half-dead, lifeless black bears I've seen at the zoo are smaller than me, so the snake venom probably wouldn't have much effect.
Li Sheng glanced at Cuihua. "I've raised this leopard for a thousand days, but I'm only using it for one. If Cuihua doesn't act this time, she'll be kicked out of the house and starve."
However, for his own safety, he decided to climb the tree first. His tree-climbing skills became increasingly superb. Like a gust of wind, before anyone could see clearly, Li Sheng had already landed steadily on the tree.
Only four or five meters tall, he hid himself among the leaves, but he could still clearly see the bear's every move.
He was decisive and ruthless, raising his crossbow and firing forward without hesitation.
Three shots in quick succession.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The black bear had its back to him, and the three arrows were still aimed at its spine with perfect accuracy. However, the black bear's fur was very thick, and it also had a lot of subcutaneous fat, so the arrows did not penetrate deeply and could not cause any serious damage.
The black bear, in pain, immediately looked this way. At the same time, Cuihua also ran quickly towards the bear. Just as the bear looked this way, he shot out another arrow.
This time it's a two-shot deal.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
It let out a wail.
This time, the bear was truly blinded by the accurate shot. And facing Cuihua, who was more than twice his size, Li Sheng was not disappointed. Cuihua pounced on him and bit Hei Zong's neck.
Sensing impending death, the black bear struggled with all its might, trying to shake off Cuihua, who was clinging tightly to its body and biting its neck.
Li Sheng did not shoot again. Although he was very accurate, he could not guarantee that he would not miss every time. If he missed, he could easily hurt Cuihua, which would be a loss. He did not climb down from the tree, but observed the surrounding environment to see if there were any other dangers approaching.
The black bear was hit by an arrow, which contained snake venom that would soon take effect. It also had its eyes shot out. Although it was stronger than Cuihua in combat, it was now at its limit. It was only a matter of time before Cuihua subdued it.
However, its vitality was even stronger than Li Sheng had expected. In the struggle, it even slapped Cuihua with its claw, leaving a claw mark and drawing blood.
However, Cuihua was not one to be trifled with. Without hesitation, she pounced again and bit the other side of her neck.
Blood was gushing from the spot where it had just been bitten; Cuihua had bitten the carotid artery perfectly. This was a skill passed down through generations—they always managed to bite the carotid artery with pinpoint accuracy.
After more than ten minutes, the black bear's resistance gradually weakened until it finally collapsed to the ground, motionless.
Li Sheng looked around again to make sure there was no threat before coming down, while the black bear on the ground had almost bled out.
Instead of dealing with the black bear immediately, he refilled the water tank before starting to dismember the bear.
He couldn't possibly transport the black bear back by himself; he could only manage about two-thirds of it at most.
Fortunately, his dog was very efficient and quickly dismembered the black bear, dividing it into two parts. He took the lower half home first, and then came back to drag the upper half, which included the head, later.
However, Cuihua performed exceptionally well, carrying the black bear's arm in her mouth and walking towards Li Sheng.
Finally, Li Sheng arrived at the shelter, and a few minutes later, Cuihua also returned, dragging the black bear's other half.
As is customary, the black bear meat is smoked to aid preservation, and some of the internal organs are also smoked, while the rest are eaten by Cuihua while they are still hot.
The courtyard of the shelter was a scene of bloodshed.
That evening, he finally got to eat the roasted bear paw, but the taste was really not good; perhaps his cooking skills still had room for improvement.
This bear is so big it could probably feed him for another two weeks, so surviving here isn't really a problem for him anymore.
Life is getting better every day.
However, it seems that the situation is not so good for Wang Yao and Yang Xiaoxiao, who are the lucky ones who came later.
Yang Xiaoxiao put on a grass skirt, covering her entire body completely. Her fans had a lot of complaints, but Yang Xiaoxiao could only pretend not to see them. The grass skirt was uncomfortable to wear, but she had to endure it, and her nausea and vomiting were getting worse.
At its worst, the sight of Wang Yao made viewers want to vomit. This abnormal behavior and uncontrollable bodily reaction were quickly noticed by the audience.
Everyone's smart enough to be right, especially the female viewers who guessed pretty much it immediately.
