Chapter 27
Qilin and Lightning run very fast, their limbs are naturally suitable for moving through the jungle.
The mountain bikes soon couldn't keep up with them, so Major Chang immediately gave an order and asked a group of soldiers to get off the bikes and chase them.
Looking at a long line of soldiers in military uniforms leading war beasts at full speed, Mu Ling hurriedly asked, "Should I go too?"
Major Chang shook his head: "Just stay in the car. Don't worry, they're here, nothing will happen to Qilin Lightning!"
Mu Ling was still worried, but she could only nod, puzzled: "But why are Qilin and Lightning suddenly so excited?"
Major Chang was silent for a moment before he spoke again, "Generally speaking, when an S-rank war beast exhibits aggressive behavior, it means they've discovered a mid-level or higher-level contaminated beast..."
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Lingren was stunned. "They went off to fight a mid-level contaminated monster? Oh my god, how could they possibly win?! They're both in poor health, especially Qilin. The wound on his back has only just scabbed over! And the last time he fought the python, he almost died together with it! Brother Xiang said that the python was only initially infected, and he could hardly win against a primary infection!"
Major Chang: “…”
Seeing that Mu Ling seemed to genuinely treat the Qilin like a baby and had no idea about the attack power of an S-rank war beast, Major Chang explained, "That's not the case. Tigers aren't good at fighting snakes. Snakes are very slippery, and tigers can easily lose their grip on them, and they're also prone to being bitten. In nature, tigers usually avoid snakes. Even cubs are vulnerable to being eaten by larger pythons. So when facing snakes, we usually send out bird-like war beasts, like eagles and hawks. Their claws can grip a snake's body more tightly, and their beaks can more accurately peck through a python's gallbladder. So the fact that the Qilin was able to kill a python alone is actually quite impressive."
Mu Ling was a little surprised to hear Major Chang say this. After a while, she nodded, then looked towards the forest ahead. The breeze swayed in the mountains, and the shadows of the trees were all visible. Apart from the chirping of cicadas and insects, there was no other sound...
-
At the same time, in less than ten minutes, the black panther and the tiger, which had run more than ten kilometers, finally stopped slowly.
The black panther was walking in front, and the tiger was two steps behind it.
Suddenly, the black panther leaped up, and its agile front legs stepped directly on a big rock. After stepping on the rock, it turned its body and climbed up the trunk of a big tree next to it. Its sharp claws gripped the bark. In two or three steps, it had reached a very high branch. Its black fur sparkled in the midday sun. The black panther climbed up to look into the distance, and the entire mountain forest in front of it was in sight.
And below it, the tiger also stepped on the stone. It raised its head, sniffing the tip of its nose, carefully distinguishing the scent brought by the breeze...
"Roar!" Suddenly, the black panther roared in one direction and leaped out.
The tiger immediately followed, one in front and one behind, moving in unison, and moving in a certain direction with incredible precision in this winding primeval forest.
Only after they had run more than twenty kilometers did the tiger and the leopard stop again.
At this time, they stopped in a grass forest under a cliff. The grass and trees here were very dense. As soon as they walked in, the weeds almost buried their bodies.
"Bang!" At this moment, a sound suddenly came from the cliff.
The tiger and the leopard looked over at the same time and saw a lazy tiger walking out of a cave three or four meters above the ground.
The tiger was extremely large, with red fur, a long neck, and a hunched body. It had two extremely long fangs on both sides of its mouth.
The tusk was almost as long as an elephant's tusk, hanging upside down in front of its face, looking ferocious and strange.
Qilin looked at the tiger and immediately pressed down its front legs, assuming an attacking posture.
The black panther went around to the back of the Qilin, buried its body in the weeds, and slowly walked to the other side, so that it and the Qilin could surround the red-toothed tiger one in front and one behind.
But the red-toothed tiger had already seen what the black panther was doing.
It stood in front of the platform of the cave, its huge body wandering left and right of the cave entrance, as if it was considering which side to attack first.
"Roar!!" Qilin suddenly shouted.
Its tiger roar was so loud and powerful that it shook the surrounding branches.
The red-toothed tiger seemed to be angered by its roar. It jumped down from the cave entrance which was three or four meters high with its steps as light as a cat, and then pounced straight towards the Qilin.
At the same time as it took action, the black panther behind it suddenly rushed out and attacked the red-toothed tiger from behind.
The red-toothed tiger sensed danger and quickly dodged. Fortunately, it avoided the black panther. Unfortunately, it was slapped away by the golden tiger's claw!
When the Tearing Tiger explodes, the force of its palm can reach up to one ton!
Although Qilin is injured now and his strength is not at its peak, the weight of this palm strike is at least 600 to 700 kilograms.
The red-toothed tiger rolled on the ground and immediately got up again. In anger, it didn't care about anything and pounced on the Qilin.
When it was halfway through its pounce, the black panther on the right rushed over again and knocked it away!
The red-toothed tiger fell to the ground again, and this time it rolled twice before it stood up shakily.
Qilin and Lightning bared their cold teeth and slowly narrowed the encirclement of the red-toothed tiger.
Just when they were about to pounce on it at the same time, one biting its head and the other its tail, to directly suppress the red-toothed tiger, the red-toothed tiger was not a fool. It quickly ran towards the open space on the left, avoided the tiger and leopard's attack, and ran back to its cave with its tail between its legs.
The cave was very high, and it returned to the entrance, seemingly convinced it was safe, howling provocatively at the tigers and leopards below! Then the golden tiger leaped up directly, and without even a word of warning, it went up with both claws, pinned the red-toothed tiger's head, and bit its back!
The red-toothed tiger's back was immediately bitten until it bled. It struggled frantically and also bit Qilin's claws. Qilin had received strict training, and it immediately stepped on the red-toothed tiger's neck with its other claw, making it unable to move, and it bit the red-toothed tiger's back even harder!
At this time, the black panther also jumped up and bit the red-toothed tiger's throat directly. Cheetahs like to kill with one blow, and they usually like to bite the fatal parts!
The red-toothed tiger sensed danger, and it didn't know where it got the strength from, but it suddenly broke free from the Qilin's grip, then knocked the Qilin and Lightning away and quickly jumped out of the cave!
Qilin and Lightning immediately chased after it, but the Red-toothed Tiger obviously knew the location of the mountains better than them. After it ran into the forest, it disappeared in an instant.
Qilin and Lightning detected the smell of blood in the air and continued forward, running wildly in the forest!
At the same time, Qingjian, who had crawled out from the small hole in the damaged protective net of the Beek Zoo into the deep forest on the other side, was also trying to identify the smell in the air.
Its already dirty gray fur now looked even more disheveled because of the mud. It stopped somewhere in the forest, moved its ears, sniffed with its nose, and then galloped towards the woods on the right.
Qingjiao ran very fast. The wolf's speed was no less than that of a tiger or leopard. After stopping and running three or four times, its pace finally slowed down. She stared at the swamp forest in front of her with cold red eyes.
At this moment, a smell of blood suddenly floated in the air.
Qingjiao looked behind him and saw a red-toothed tiger with ivory-like fangs running towards him covered in blood.
"Ao!" Qingjiao immediately stood in front of the red-toothed tiger to stop it from moving forward!
The red-fanged tiger was forced to stop. It looked anxiously at the deeper swamp forest, raised its tired neck, and shouted sadly: "Roar!"
This is the voice calling out to your companions.
Qingjiao's sharp teeth were fully exposed. It had smelled that this red-toothed tiger was also a strange beast. Without saying a word, it rushed over, pressed down the red-toothed tiger's head, and bit it on the back of the neck!
The red-toothed tiger screamed in agony, and the screams became weaker and weaker, until finally, there was no movement at all.
After making sure that the red-toothed tiger could no longer move, Qingjiao shook its skin and flesh again, then loosened its teeth and licked the blood from the corner of his mouth with his scarlet tongue.
"Rustle." It was the sound of grass leaves being disturbed in the distance.
Qingjiao immediately raised his head and looked in the direction where the red-toothed tiger had just run from, and once again took an attacking posture.
When Qilin and Lightning arrived, what they saw was the dead red-fanged tiger and the gray black snow wolf with its teeth bared and its fur all standing on end.
The tiger and the black panther stayed where they were, watching the gray wolf without moving. After observing the tiger and the panther for a while, the gray wolf's blown-up fur slowly calmed down, and its lowered body slowly stood up. It continued to lick the blood on its beard, then lowered its head and licked its paws which were also stained with blood.
The black panther then stepped forward, walked in front of the red-fanged tiger, and sniffed it.
The gray wolf was only one step away from the black panther, but it did not attack the black panther, but just watched it quietly.
The Beek Zoo is very big, but no matter how big it is, you will get used to it after staying in the mountains for a few months.
The gray wolf knew the golden tiger and the black panther. They were familiar with each other's smell, but they had never dealt with each other.
The golden tiger also came over at this time, but its eyes were looking towards the swamp forest ahead.
At this time, the sound of rustling footsteps was heard in the swamp forest.
But after a while, a red-toothed tiger that was a circle larger than the one on the ground came out.
The fur of this red-toothed tiger is redder than the previous one, but its teeth are black instead of white.
What does black teeth mean? It means that the degree of pollution has far exceeded the category of medium pollution.
This is a mutated red-skinned, black-toothed tiger that is about to enter a state of high pollution.
It will obviously be more difficult to deal with than the little red-toothed tiger.
Qingjiao walked slowly to the right, Qilin stood calmly in the middle, and Lightning walked slowly to the left.
The three S-class war beasts, without any communication, surrounded the giant black-fanged tiger with tacit understanding without leaving any trace.
The black-toothed tiger saw the dead little red-toothed tiger on the ground. It seemed very angry and howled towards the sky, roaring: "Roar!!!"
Animals intimidate their enemies by roaring. If it were an ordinary animal, facing a black-fanged tiger with such a terrifying roar, it would definitely choose to surrender.
But the three S-class war beasts only saw opportunities.
While the Black-toothed Tiger was showing off its power in a flashy manner and howling, Qingjiang, Lightning and Qilin moved forward at the same time, one biting its neck, one on its butt, and one patting its head.
But the black-toothed tiger's fur is very thick, and its bite force is as strong as 500 kilograms of lightning, but it can't bite through its skin at all!
Even the Qilin's claws, which weighed six or seven hundred kilograms, could not knock it down.
The black-toothed tiger twisted its body with great force and shook off the three enemies. When its claws were about to hit the black panther, the Qilin rushed forward and gouged its eyes!
To clear it out, bite its tail from behind!
No matter how thick the fur is, the eyes and tail are always fragile.
The tiger's tail is a long, thin strip like a thick rope. It can be bitten off with just one bite!
At the same time, blood flowed from the Black Tooth Tiger's eyes. It was in so much pain that it went crazy. A powerful force burst out of its body. It shook off Qingjiao and Qilin again, but Lightning had recovered. Lightning suddenly pounced on them and jumped directly onto the Black Tooth Tiger's back.
Seeing this, Qingjiao and Qilin stood up again and rushed forward again. The three beasts worked together. When one of them attracted hatred, the other two would launch a sneak attack, targeting the weakest point of the Black Tooth Tiger.
The blood on the black-toothed tiger's body gradually increased. Finally, Lightning bit through the fur on the back of the black-toothed tiger's neck. It fiercely tore the wound under the fur. As the black-toothed tiger struggled in severe pain, its strength gradually disappeared.
Only after they were sure that the black-toothed tiger would not move did the three war beasts slowly loosen their teeth.
Their mouths were filled with the sticky taste of blood. They licked their mouths, but no matter how they licked, they felt uncomfortable.
The Qilin walked in a certain direction at this time. After taking two steps, it stopped and looked at the black panther and gray wolf behind it.
Lightning jumped over the black-toothed tiger's body and followed it consciously. Qingqiang hesitated for a moment and then slowly walked over.
The Qilin followed the sound of flowing water and found a waterfall. The three beasts immediately lowered their heads and began to drink the water.
After drinking a lot of water, Qilin and Lightning ran for more than 20 kilometers and fought for more than ten minutes before lying on the cool stones in the mountain stream, sticking out their tongues and starting to rest.
Clearing them out is not as tiring as theirs, it mainly involves taking shortcuts.
After drinking the water, Qingjiao sat at a distance from the golden tiger and the black panther, looking at them.
At this moment, Lightning suddenly put its head close to Qilin. It sniffed the bandaged wound on Qilin's back, and then licked it through the bandage.
After running for a long time, the wound on Qilin's back began to bleed.
Qilin also felt pain in his back, and he lay on the rock, motionless.
After Lightning licked its wounds, he came back to lick its forehead.
Animals all like to have their fur licked, because in the animal kingdom, big animals will only lick the fur of small animals when they are being cared for and cared for.
Qilin felt very comfortable being licked. His eyes narrowed, and he turned his head to lick Lightning's ears as well.
Perhaps it was because they had fought side by side, and the mutual respect between comrades made them not so repulsive to each other, but instead wanted to help each other.
The gray wolf just watched the interaction between the golden tiger and the black panther from afar... he didn't understand, but he respected.
After a while, as if they had rested enough, Qilin and Lightning stood up and walked slowly forward.
After taking two steps, they stopped again and looked towards Qingjiang.
The gray wolf remained there without moving, obviously not intending to go with them.
"Roar." Qilin growled.
The gray wolf stood up, turned and walked towards the woods, and went deep into the forest.
Qilin and Lightning did not turn around and continue walking outside until Qingjian's figure completely disappeared. However, after walking for a while, they heard a series of human footsteps.
-
"Found it?" In the car, Major Chang finally breathed a sigh of relief after listening to the report from the captain of the second team on the intercom, and immediately looked at Mu Ling beside him.
Mu Ling was also very excited and quickly went over to ask, "Are they okay? Are they injured?"
"Uh..." The captain of the second team said with a guilty tone, "Qilin's bandage is bleeding..."
Mu Ling: “…”
Major Chang saw that Director Mu's expression was as if he was going to eat someone, so he quickly asked, "It's not serious, right?"
"There's quite a lot of blood..."
Major Chang: “…”
Mu Ling: “…”
Major Chang wiped his face, sent the coordinates to the driver, and said, "Hurry over!"
Twenty minutes later, Mu Ling finally saw Qilin and Lightning!
The bandage on Qilin's back was completely soaked with blood. Mu Ling's heart was broken as soon as she took a look at it!
She quickly squatted down, untied the bandages and looked at its injuries.
The scab had opened again, but the wound wasn't big. It was just that the bandage got wet for some reason (it was licked by lightning), so it looked like it was bleeding badly, but it wasn't actually that serious.
Mu Ling breathed a sigh of relief. She tapped Qilin's wet nose and scolded it, "Do you know that you scared me to death? You know you're injured, don't you know how dangerous it is to run out like this?"
Qilin sat there obediently without moving. When Mu Ling touched its nose, it even put its nose close to it and sniffed Mu Ling's finger.
Mu Ling had no choice but to cover its nose with her palm and rub its big face, muttering, "You can't do this again in the future, understand..."
After saying that, Mu Ling looked at Lightning, who was leaning beside her and licking his paws: "And you, you can't do this again in the future!"
Lightning thought Mu Ling was calling it, so it stood up, wagged its tail, leaned its head over, and licked Mu Ling's face.
Mu Ling said with a straight face: "Don't think I won't be angry just because you coax me like this! I'm so angry!"
Lightning moved his forehead closer again, touching Mu Ling's chin with his forehead, and rubbing against Mu Ling in a sticky manner.
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling was almost convinced. She said unhappily, "Forget it this time! But there really can't be a next time!"
Major Chang was sweating profusely as he watched from behind. A few hours ago, he had vowed that he would never let Qilin and Lightning be in danger. As a result, Qilin's wound had split open. Although they ran away on their own, they were working for their military after all.
The captain of the second team's beast control team came over and reported quietly, "We found the bodies of two exotic beasts. One has a mild intermediate infection, and the other has a severe intermediate infection. If the severe one hadn't been discovered, it would have developed into a high-level infection in less than two weeks."
Major Chang's expression changed slightly. "We organize clearing operations every year. Last year, we only found seven or eight primary-level infected monsters in the Beak Jungle. This year, we have not only mild to intermediate-level cases, but also severe intermediate-level cases..."
The captain of the second team whispered, "We have to report it."
Major Chang said "hmm" and looked at Mu Ling and the two S-level war beasts in front of him.
Seeing that the three of them were still kissing and hugging each other, Major Chang scratched his face, wanting to say something but feeling too embarrassed to speak.
But at this moment, a soldier suddenly shouted: "Ah."
Everyone was stunned and looked over.
The soldier looked stunned. He pointed in the direction of the deep woods and asked in surprise, "Is that... a wolf?"
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, but because the shadows of the trees were too dark, they couldn't see what kind of animal was inside, but they did see a pair of red eyes.
The captain of the second team thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Besides the corpses of the two strange beasts, in addition to tiger and leopard footprints, we also found wolf footprints. I wonder if it was this wolf..."
Major Chang frowned and was about to ask if this wolf was also a strange beast, but then he remembered that none of the war beasts present reacted, so he knew it probably wasn't. He said, "Maybe we've entered its territory and it doesn't like it. There shouldn't be any danger here. Let's pack up and go."
The captain of the second team was about to give an order when he saw Mu Ling suddenly stand up, then frowned and stared at the wolf in the woods.
Major Chang looked at her: "Director Mu?"
Mu Ling suddenly shouted into the woods, "Clear?"
Major Chang: “?”
Mu Ling took two more steps forward, and after taking a closer look, she was stunned: "Holy shit! It's really you! Why are you here?"
Those red wolf eyes and beggar-like hair were all familiar! Mu Ling had come into close contact with Qing Jiao before, and was almost attacked by it. How could she not recognize Qing Jiao?
Mu Ling was bewildered. She pointed at the gray wolf hiding in the woods, refusing to come out, and said to Major Chang, "This is an animal from our park. We've cleared out the black snow wolf, but I don't know why it came here..."
Mu Ling said this, and suddenly thought of the two things that happened: Qilin followed the python, and Lightning followed the hyena. And just now, Qilin and Lightning came to deal with the intermediate beasts on their own...
The S-rank war beast's obsession with exotic beasts is simply ingrained in its bones, so the reason why Qingjiao appeared here seemed to be only that one...
Mu Ling looked around again and asked, "Major Chang, isn't this place close to the boundary of our zoo?"
Major Chang paused, looked at the coordinates here, pursed his lips and said, "It's less than 20 kilometers away from your protective network."
Mu Ling understood: "The Qingjian must have smelled the scent of the intermediate-level alien beast and crossed the protective net to catch it... What a silly girl!"
Major Chang thought of what the captain of the second team had said just now, that there were wolf footprints next to the corpses of the two strange beasts. He couldn't help but look at the red eyes in the woods again.
Major Chang watched the video Mu Ling posted online and also watched her live broadcast screen recording. He knew who the Qingjian was, but he just asked, "So what is he doing now?"
Mu Ling also didn't know why Qingjiao was hiding in the woods and watching them from afar?
But Lightning stood up at this time and slowly walked towards the clearance.
Qingjiao remained motionless until the lightning approached it, then it suddenly ran into the woods.
"Hey, it's gone!" said Major Chang.
Mu Ling followed immediately.
Qilin also hurried to follow.
They moved forward all the way, with Qingjian leading the way all the time. However, the mountain road was too difficult to walk on. When Qingjian finally stopped, Mu Ling was already sweating profusely from exhaustion.
Mu Ling supported herself on her knees and gasped for breath, and then she saw that the convoy had stopped in front of a protective net.
This protective net was naturally the protective net of their zoo. Mu Ling went to see Qing Jiao again and saw Qing Jiao lowering his head, digging the soil hard at the edge of a muddy ground, but he didn't find anything.
Mu Ling walked over to take a look and discovered that it was scraping the protective net. The net looked very new and still felt warm to the touch. It must have been welded recently...
Thinking of the protective net masters in the inner circle...
Mu Ling: “…”
Major Chang came over at this time and asked in confusion: "Director Mu, what's wrong?"
Mu Ling scratched her face, a little dazed. "I guess Qingjiao must have come out from here just now. As soon as it left, our dedicated guardrail workers patched up the hole. Now Qingjiao can't go back..."
Major Chang: “…”
Mu Ling was a little confused: "But logically speaking, the protective net masters shouldn't be able to start work today. I don't know why... Ah, I remember, isn't Lieutenant Colonel Song in our zoo? He always said he wanted to help us. Maybe he was accompanying the protective net masters, so they resumed work..."
Major Chang: “…”
Mu Ling turned back to look at Qingjiao, who was still digging at the protective net but couldn't find a hole no matter how hard he tried. She said helplessly, "Why are you so unlucky?"
Qingjiao's red eyes also looked at Mu Ling at this time. It thought for a while and suddenly walked towards Mu Ling.
Mu Ling froze for a moment, and thinking of the previous ambush by Qingzheng, it dared not move.
Qingjiao walked up to Mu Ling, stretched out his head, and suddenly licked Mu Ling's forehead.
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling: “???”
Seeing that Mu Ling didn't move, Qing Jiao tilted his head and licked Mu Ling's ear.
Mu Ling: “!!!”
Qingjiao was a little confused when he saw that Mu Ling still didn't move.
It turned its head and looked at the golden tiger and black panther beside it.
It was like this before, the leopard licked the tiger, the tiger licked the leopard, and after licking the fur, they became friends. Could the friend send it home? Its son was still at home...
