Chapter 77 Hyena
Mu Xi's shot missed, but the hyena was not frightened at all by the sharp sound of the gunshot. Instead, it stepped forward.
But the eyes were not staring at people, but at Huhu and Xuebing.
Zhao Yeqing's heart sank. The hyena looked thin and must have been hungry for several days, otherwise it would not have appeared in front of so many people and taken the risk.
She took the bow and arrow on her back and pointed it in the direction of the hyena, not daring to act rashly. If she missed the target, it would attack.
She waited a little longer, hoping that the hyenas would retreat when they saw that they were in large numbers, without causing any conflict.
Unfortunately, she didn't wait, but instead saw two grinning hyenas coming out of the bushes and surrounding them.
Mu Xi leaned her back against the tree she climbed, her eyes fixed on the threat in front of her, gun in hand, and when the hyena in front of her finally couldn't hold back and pounced on her, she aimed and shot.
This time the shot did not miss, the bullet hit the hyena's lower right abdomen. The hyena screamed in pain but did not fall down completely, and the ferocity and violence in its eyes became even more intense.
Seeing their companion injured, the other two did not retreat but advanced instead. One of them leaped over and aimed not at Mu Xi, but at Huhu and Xuebing.
The two little leopards were agile. They jumped to avoid the attack and turned around to climb up the tree.
But the two little leopards climbed up the tree, and then all the hyenas had only Mu Xi as their target of attack.
Seeing that the wounded hyena was still showing signs of standing up, Zhao Yeqing raised his bow and shot another arrow into the hyena's chest. It finally fell down without struggling.
The attention of the other two was attracted by her, and Mu Xi took the opportunity to reload the bullets in the gun. This was a double-barreled shotgun that could only hold two bullets at a time.
If two of them pounce on you at the same time, it would be very dangerous if you miss the target with one strike.
Zhao Yeqing's heart was in her throat. She was safe because hyenas couldn't climb trees, but Mu Xi couldn't climb up now. If he dared to show his back to the hyenas for a moment, he would be met with a ruthless counterattack.
But even if Mu Xi did not move, the patience of the two had been exhausted. The two hyenas opened up the battle line on the left and right and launched an attack on both sides of Mu Xi!
Mu Xi rolled forward while shooting to the right. The hyena on the right was hit in the leg. The pain from the splashing blood made it even more brutal. The other one missed the attack and turned around to attack again.
Zhao Yeqing shot an arrow with all his strength at the injured hyena. The arrow missed the target but hit the ground in front of it, stopping it from moving forward.
Mu Xi seized the opportunity and fired another shot at it!
The bullet hit the hyena on the right. It swayed a bit but eventually fell down with its teeth bared in reluctance.
Before Zhao Yeqing could breathe a sigh of relief, another hyena pounced on him. Mu Xi pressed the butt of his gun against its mouth and opened it. The hyena's teeth bit the butt of the gun, leaving cracks on it.
Mu Xi gritted his teeth, exerted all his strength, threw the hyena out, and was about to reload...
Zhao Yeqing caught a glimpse of the hyena that had fallen down at his feet. It straightened up at some point and jumped up towards Mu Xi's back!
"careful!"
Mu Xi was unable to dodge, and the hyena's claws had already touched his leg. It used up its last bit of strength to tear Mu Xi's calf with its sharp claws.
Mu Xi turned around and grabbed the hyena that was attacking him by surprise by the scruff of its neck. The hyena's skull was extremely hard, and veins popped out on Mu Xi's arms. He swung the butt of his gun and cracked its head open.
Another hyena took the opportunity to pounce upwards, and Mu Xi lost his balance while dodging and rolled down the slope.
He also shouted at Zhao Yeqing, "Don't come down!"
Seeing that the last hyena was about to catch up, Zhao Yeqing gritted her teeth to control her trembling, drew her bow and shot an arrow. Her hands were shaking so much that she was sure she would miss the target, she just hoped to attract its attention.
But the hyena only paused for a moment, then immediately reacted and returned its gaze to the direction where Mu Xi rolled.
Zhao Yeqing was extremely anxious and shot another arrow to make the hyena look towards him.
Xuebing and Huhu jumped down from the tree and blocked the hyena's direction.
Their body size was less than half that of a hyena and they had never fought with wild beasts before. Their bodies were trembling slightly, but they did not take a single step back.
She suppressed her fear and thought rapidly.
If she got down from the tree, then the hyena would be like delivering food to her. If she didn't get down from the tree and watched it rush down the mountain to catch up with the injured Mu Xi, then...
Before she could come to a conclusion, her body had already subconsciously slid down the tree.
She couldn't bear to watch her companions face danger while she hid in the tree.
Zhao Yeqing slowly went down. Seeing that she had fallen into the trap, the hyena did not go down the mountain to look for the human who had killed its companion and posed a threat to it. Instead, it stared at the prey that was about to be delivered to its doorstep.
She climbed about three meters high, and when she slid to the last branch, she was only one meter away from the ground.
At this height, the hyena could touch her by jumping.
Zhao Yeqing pretended to go down, but secretly grasped the knife in his pocket.
The hyena became impatient and pounced over. Zhao Yeqing jumped under a tree, took out a knife and stabbed the hyena.
The hyena was very agile, and the tip of her knife only left a wound on its leg.
This wound angered the hyena, and it opened its mouth wide and roared at her. Even though Zhao Yeqing was only one meter away, she could smell the stench from the hyena's mouth.
Now she can only choose to fight to the death. She can't escape by running. The speed of a hyena can reach more than 60 kilometers per hour.
At the moment when the hyena pounced on him with its mouth open, Zhao Yeqing was about to throw out his knife, but the ferocious hyena in front of him flew away.
She opened her eyes wide and turned her head instantly. The two leopards that had knocked the hyenas away also fell to the ground due to inertia, but immediately got up again.
The hyena took two steps back and looked between the two leopards, and finally pounced on Huhu. Zhao Yeqing was angry and anxious.
Hyenas always pick on the weak!
Hyenas are fast, but leopards are even faster. Although Huhu is a little stupid, he has extremely quick reactions and has loved to pounce on all kinds of small insects since he was a child.
The hyena pounced several times but couldn't touch the muddy thing.
Xue Bing who was standing next to him had been standing still, his eyes fixed on the hyena. The hyena, which had a scratch on its leg, slowed down for a moment, and Xue Bing finally found the right moment to pounce on it and bite through its neck!
The clouded leopard's mouth could open very wide, and it bit most of the hyena's neck. The hyena exerted all its strength to throw away the snow cake that was biting its neck, and when it saw the snow cake fall to the ground, it crawled up unhurt.
The hyena's neck was bitten through, and it knew it was dying. It roared and turned its head to face Zhao Yeqing, who was lying on the ground, as if it wanted to drag someone down with it before it died. There was a frightening fierce light in its eyes...
