Chapter 54 Chapter 54 Heading towards the championship trophy...
Banlie clearly remembers the scene when he was shot.
In the first half of last night, he felt something unusual in his body, and his five senses were rapidly intensifying.
As soon as I ran out of the cave, there was lightning, thunder and heavy rain.
He felt the fur on his body getting wet. Yes, it was fur...
Looking down, I saw the fluffy yellow hair floating in the air like a dandelion under the white light of lightning, and then falling to the ground after being wetted by the rain.
Unlike Yunti's complex emotions when she turned back into her original form, Banlue had only one thought: TD.
He already hated his hyena bloodline, and after learning that hyenas did not conform to human aesthetics and had a bad reputation, he became even more self-loathing.
Thinking back to the species Yunti had previously interacted with—coyotes, monkey cubs, snow leopards—every one of them wasn't beautiful and adorable. I wondered if my sister would see him in his true form again and suddenly realize how ugly he really was.
He feared nothing except being abandoned by Yun Ti. What if he couldn't turn back into a human? What if his sister and Li Xingyan returned happily to China, hand in hand, and abandoned him on this vast grassland?
Banlue squatted at the entrance of the cave, feeling sorry for himself, and cried like a dog under the cover of the storm.
Suddenly, several lights in the distance flickered.
After two barely audible sounds, the herd of elephants stationed by the lake suddenly rioted.
Someone was killing tuskers with a hunting rifle.
The heavy rain obscured the view and the two shots missed.
After angering the elephants, the old, dilapidated four-wheel drive vehicle sped away across the grassland.
The man holding a rifle in the passenger seat stuck his head out of the window and made strange "eh eh oh oh" sounds behind him as if provoking.
But the next moment, the car tire was shot out.
The speeding car created a streak of sparks as the car almost flipped sideways at a right angle before finally falling over under the weight.
The two people in the car jumped out in time, raised their guns and looked around vigilantly.
In nature, they are in the dark while animals are in the light, and they dominate the power of life and death.
But now, the situation has reversed and they have become prey at the mercy of others.
Soon, the smoke of gunpowder rose again.
The bullet flew from an unknown direction and hit the thigh of one of the black men accurately.
The two men knelt down on the spot with strange cries and kowtowed in all directions.
Southeast direction.
The car lights suddenly turned on, and the dazzling high beams shone directly into the two people's faces.
The slanting rain created a mist in the beams of light.
A well-dressed young mixed-race man got out of the car. A man in black, standing half a step behind him, held an umbrella for him. "Vilereus, we can't find any trace of the leopard again."
Vilereus snorted softly and looked down at the two herdsmen who had disrupted his plans.
"Poachers? Stealing ivory?" Vilereus tilted his head, a smile in his eyes. "Killing wild animals for profit is terrible."
He raised his pistol and pointed it at the head of one of the black men.
The sound of ghosts howling and wolves howling drowned out the sound of bullets leaving the gun.
One of them fell down immediately without having time to struggle, and the other one staggered away while screaming and not daring to look back.
The man holding the umbrella handed the spear to Vilereus.
The mixed-race man still had a smile on his face, but when he saw the figure in the sight clearly, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
The next second, it hit the chest.
The escapee was shot in the back and fell to the ground in a twisted posture.
"Clean it up. Send the body to the lions."
Vilereus looked at the person beside him with interest. His gray-blue eyes sparkled in the car lights. "Humans kill animals. If I kill humans in return for the animals, does that count as contributing to ecological balance?"
Looking at his proud expression, someone who didn't know him would have thought he was a child who helped an old lady cross the street and was seeking praise.
The man in black felt his scalp tingle, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously twice, "Yes."
Sensing that the person on the other side didn't actually understand his philosophy, Vilereus lost interest, smiled, and waved his hand, saying, "Continue to monitor the leopard's movements."
"We've tracked down several other leopards in the hinterland. Do you want to..."
"Is that the one I was talking about?"
Seeing Vilereus's tone suddenly turn cold, the man in black was stunned. Knowing that he had said something wrong again, he immediately knelt down and bowed his head to apologize.
Before he finished speaking, a pair of shiny leather shoes stepped directly on his head and rubbed it back and forth a few times like a shoe brush. "If you don't understand Chinese, I can help you get a translator."
…
Banlie hid in the bushes, and it was not until their SUV started again that he suddenly realized that his sister might have been targeted by humans.
Although he was not sure whether the "leopard" mentioned by the mixed-race man was Yun Ti, he did not dare to gamble with his sister's life.
Just as the car was about to head towards the cave, a train suddenly emerged from the bushes.
The spotted hyena ran very fast and suddenly appeared under the car lights, as terrifying as a ghost.
The driver flashed his lights a few times, and after seeing what it was, he stepped on the accelerator.
The adrenaline rush made Vilereus clap his hands in joy and roll down the car window.
At this time, the rain had stopped and the rustling wind brought a cool breeze.
"Hyena..."
Vilereus sounded a little regretful, but then he thought, after all, he was still a top predator.
He extended his spear out of the window and said, "Let me test your ability."
The moment the bullet leaves the barrel, a hot air flow is generated, carrying the smoke from the burning gunpowder, which is blown back into the car by the gust of wind.
The spotted hyena, which had been running in a straight line, suddenly changed direction, perfectly avoiding the path of the bullet.
"interesting."
Vilereus narrowed his eyes, suddenly interested.
Spotted hyenas can run at speeds of up to 60 kilometers per hour. Off-road vehicles rush across the grassland without considering speed, and it won't take long for them to close the distance with the hyenas.
Vilereus smacked the driver on the back of the head with the butt of his gun. "Driving so fast, are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?"
Overtaking a hyena or getting too close will diminish the excitement of the game. Just like fishing, if the line is too short, it will easily alert the target, but if it is too long, it will easily break free.
However, the hyena in front of him was smarter than he thought.
It seemed to be able to think and understand the shortcomings of the spear. After running in a curve to tease the drivers, it not only interfered with the original route of the vehicles, but also made them dizzy in the vast dark wilderness.
Soon, Vilereus lost interest and impatiently fired several shots at the speeding black shadow.
From the sound, a shot hit the hyena.
But when the car got closer, only a trail of blood was left in the grass.
＊
The search team worked non-stop for several days and finally found Yun Ti and Li Xingyan, which relieved a lot of their worries.
After eating and drinking, I felt tired.
Taking advantage of the quiet of the night, Yunti focused on comforting Xiao Hei, who was "abandoned by his parents" and pretended to be sulking, and also touched Banban and Baobao with equal care.
The "precarious" mother-son relationship was restored overnight.
The next day.
Yunti volunteered and told everyone that "she wanted to go find the train alone."
The reasons she gave were sound: she knew the train well enough. Furthermore, she had traveled extensively during her absence and was already quite familiar with every plant and tree there. Most importantly, she was capable of protecting herself.
"You need to rest now. If I can't find it today, we will all set out together tomorrow."
Yun Ti's slight display of her "humanitarianism" as a backbone was enough to warm everyone's hearts, so her proposal was passed unanimously.
Yes, Li Xingyan, who was designated as the driver, passed faster than anyone else, with his tail almost raised to the sky.
Titti's choice! The two of them are alone together! Is there anyone in this world happier than him?!
…
Banban's leg injury was too serious for him to go out, and he knew that if he went out, he would only be held back.
Fortunately, Yun Ti turned into a human again, and the people she met last night should not be a threat to her, so he agreed to stay at home and recuperate.
In the eyes of others, this trip was to retrieve the train.
Of course Yun Ti didn’t think so.
She wanted to take the opportunity to find the championship trophy set up by the program team.
If other people were brought along, they might notice something, but Li Xingyan is the dumbest and easy to fool, so there is no need to worry about being suspected.
Sitting in the passenger seat of the convertible off-road vehicle, the strong wind made the canvas roof whistle.
Yun Ti played with the bracelet Li Xingyan gave her and thought: What? Is she the only one who needs this 100 million yuan?
Even Ye Xuan became lazy along with them and completely forgot his original intention.
Forget it, since no one wants it, she will just take it for herself reluctantly.
During the past few days of "Becoming a Leopard", her bracelet malfunctioned and she was disconnected for too long, so she missed many messages from the program team.
However, everyone repeated these contents one after another without reservation.
The most important point is that a locator is installed at the bottom of the championship trophy, which flashes for one or two seconds at irregular intervals. The positioning information will pop up on the bracelet at that time, but no record will be stored.
It has positioning. It sounds like it's easy to find, but in reality, over the past few days, the positioning light up on the bracelet has only been there once for everyone combined.
In a split second, I was caught off guard and only saw a small shared real-time positioning map appear on the screen.
The trophy's location is a red cursor, and their respective locations are blue cursors with arrows. Logically, as they change direction, the direction of the cursor's arrow will also change.
Before I could verify it, the map disappeared.
It was estimated that their current residence was a long way from the trophy, and if they wanted to find the trophy, they could no longer stay where they were.
Moreover, these guys spent all their time looking for people and had no time to study the bracelet, so the matter of finding the trophy was naturally put on hold.
"Titi, where are we going next?"
Li Xingyan was speaking.
The bracelet vibrates slightly.
Here it comes.
Lifting the dial, the real-time map that Ye Xuan and the others mentioned was spread out in an instant, filling the entire screen.
Without a second to look, Yunti laid the bracelet flat and casually turned it, causing the blue cursor to sway. The map disappeared.
In less than two seconds, it seemed difficult for anyone to see clearly.
But in fact, from the moment the map flashed to the black screen, each frame was automatically slowed down dozens of times on Yun Ti's retina, so she could easily capture the details that ordinary people could hardly notice.
Like all cats, this talent comes naturally.
Yunti replayed the direction of the cursor arrow in her mind again.
Raise your eyes and look towards the south.
The scorching sun solidified the grass waves into frosted glass.
The rain that fell the night before has evaporated under the sun.
Dozens of miles away, under the sausage trees, several lionesses curled up into balls of fur, their tails dangling weakly, driving away mosquitoes and dissipating heat from their bodies.
It overlaps with the general direction of where the trophy is.
But the largest lake lies in the middle.
Herds of elephants, wildebeests, lions, giraffes and other animals are lurking nearby, waiting for an opportunity to compete for the source of life before the rainy season arrives.
