Jeter was the person with the most say in this matter, so his opinion was the most important. After hearing Jeter's words, Holmes immediately frowned and said:
"It seems that when I entered before, I didn't find that the bloodthirsty cat demon had such ability. However, due to the characteristics of my profession, I have never had direct contact with the bloodthirsty cat demon... It is not ruled out that some powerful individuals will have such a situation. By the way, the size of this bloodthirsty cat demon is obviously much larger than the ones I have seen!"
Jeter said in an affirmative tone:
"You all didn't notice one thing, that is, this cat demon's tail often stands up inadvertently. However, this action is taboo for most cat demons, because the raised tail will catch dead branches and sweep away fallen leaves when hunting, making noises, and thus causing the prey to escape. Therefore, if it is not necessary, the cat demon's tail is parallel to the body most of the time, but this guy's tail is often raised up like a scorpion, and there is no doubt that he is ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time!"
After hearing what Jet said, Du Yuqi nodded and smiled:
"I hope this guy is just an isolated case - fortunately our goal is not to hunt down the bloodthirsty cat demon."
At this time, everyone began to pack up the camp and prepare to set off. At this time, Jet stared at the opposite side of the lake for a while, and then suggested that he planned to go over and take a look.
Needless to say, his request was immediately blocked.
"Listen to me, Jeter, the monster may not have gone far. It may even be lying in the bushes picking its teeth. If you rush over, you may be in great danger."
Du Yuqi persuaded like this.
"Boss, the risk I take if I swim over now is less than the risk of choking to death by drinking Sosia's moonlight wine. You have to trust my judgment. Did you see that red-billed quail? If the bloodthirsty cat demon hadn't left yet, it wouldn't be standing on the branch and making cheerful calls, because this kind of bird is at the top of the cat demon's menu."
So the group then crossed the lake and came to the place where the bloodthirsty cat demon appeared before. They soon discovered that a high ground next to it should be its fixed hunting spot. There was a short and thick old tree on this high ground. Climbing up this old tree, they could easily have a clear view of the entire lake. The time periods for animals to drink water are concentrated in the early morning and evening, so Jet's judgment was correct. The hunting time had passed, and the mutated bloodthirsty cat demon had successfully left and returned to its nest.
Jet bent down and picked up a gray ball the size of a ping-pong ball from the ground. He looked at it carefully and even squeezed it open, ignoring the pungent smell it gave off. Du Yuqi also noticed this thing and asked curiously:
"What is this?"
Jeter said:
"Food pills. The cat demon's digestive system is not very developed, but it eats very quickly. So when the food is digested to the end, things like fur, bone fragments, teeth, etc. mixed with food residues will form a ball like this in its stomach, and then be vomited out by the cat demon... This mutant bloodthirsty cat demon looks a bit strange. Its diet even includes its own kind. Look at this piece of fur fragments in the food pill. Is this the unique blood-red hair of the bloodthirsty cat demon?"
Next, Jet looked around and found a flat rock that had been stained black with blood. There were also broken fur and bones next to it, so he said in a more affirmative tone:
"Yes, I am even more certain of this. Something must have happened to this bloodthirsty cat demon! Because cat demons are actually social creatures. In fact, in the records I have read about the Imperial Test Site, the mutated bloodthirsty cat demons encountered by explorers all appeared in groups. Therefore, normal cat demons will never eat their prey directly after hunting it. Instead, they will drag it back to the nest and share it with the old, weak and young animals in the nest! This kind of thing is the instinct left by the cat demon clan after thousands of years of reproduction, and it is difficult to change."
"However, this guy ate the prey right at the hunting spot, which can only mean one thing, this mutant bloodthirsty cat demon has no tribe members at all! The tribe it was in before either died out or directly rejected it. And judging from the peaceful state of this mutant bloodthirsty cat demon eating before, it doesn't seem like it has endured the hatred and pain of the entire tribe being wiped out, so the chances of it being driven out may be higher."
After listening to Jeter's analysis, I always had a sudden enlightenment:
"Very good. Since this guy is a lone ranger, maybe we can use this mutant bloodthirsty cat demon to practice and accumulate some combat experience with bloodthirsty cat demons in advance? This guy is so strong, there must be Terra Stone in his body! This means we will get a good reward."
After hearing what Meimei said, Du Yuqi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He was full of admiration for Meimei's money-grubbing mind and said hurriedly:
"Hey, hey, hey, we're not here to explore or play. Duize's sister is still waiting for us to get things to rescue people! Let's get on the road quickly and don't make trouble here!"
With Du Yuqi's strong intervention, the group finally did not go astray. After opening the map and identifying the direction, they continued to move towards their destination. Today, the target of Du Yuqi and his group was a cave, which was marked on the map as "Eagle Crying Cave".
There used to be a giant python living in this cave. When it was hungry, it would open its mouth in the cave and swallow any living creature it sensed. As a result, a very strong suction force was emitted from the cave, and it was difficult for small animals and birds to escape if they passed by, so it was called the "Eagle Crying Cave".
At this time, the giant python living inside had long died, and was used as an excellent overnight camp by the team exploring and hunting monsters deep in Loran. After arriving at the Eagle Crying Cave, there was only half a day left before entering the Bilmark Empire testing site.
After the group had been walking for about two hours, Du Yuqi didn't know why, but he always felt something was wrong. Then he noticed that Xi was frowning and looking around. He immediately stopped the team and looked around carefully, but didn't find anything wrong.
At this time, Du Yuqi shared her strange feeling with Xi, and found that she had the same feeling as herself, and then told the others. After listening to what Du Yuqi and Xi said, Jet thought about it and said:
"If there really is something following us, then we should continue walking and set a trap on the road ahead. We will know the outcome later."
After the group continued walking for more than ten minutes, they began to climb the hillside. Here, Jet had set a trap. If there were really enemies tracking them, they would definitely fall into the trap if they were not on guard. So the group pretended to move forward for a while, and immediately hid among the trees nearby, closely monitoring the movements behind them. If there was really someone tracking them from behind, the trap would definitely be triggered within fifteen minutes.
However, when everyone had just waited for less than five minutes, Jet suddenly stood up, but before he could make any move, he saw a red shadow flash before his eyes, and he was knocked flying.
But at this moment, a huge mind shield had instantly unfolded, shining with golden light, which looked very gorgeous. The red shadow still wanted to chase Jet, but was separated by the mind shield. It was Xi who took action at the most critical moment!
Immediately afterwards, Du Yuqi swung out with his sword. Wherever the sword light passed, it was like a gorgeous crescent moon, which was even more amazing. The branches and trees next to it all flew down at this moment. It was a slash with a sword.
Logically speaking, Du Yuqi was eager to save people at this time and should have taken action immediately. Why did he choose to draw his sword and slash, which would take some time to charge?
It was because he had enough confidence in Xi and knew that she would be able to buy precious time for Jet. Secondly, the attack range of the sword-drawing slash was quite amazing. Once it hit the enemy, it would cause high stiffness. Then the rest of the people could make precise cuts and continue the attack firepower.
But the enemy still accurately avoided Du Yuqi's determined attack. It leaped into the sky without any warning. Du Yuqi's sword-slashing attack just passed under its body and only hit a few flying red hairs.
