Chapter 11
It was three o'clock in the morning, when everything was asleep, but there were always some sleepy night owls squatting in the live broadcast room, so when the leopard came out, many people discovered it at the first time, and like Su Huaichen and others, they gasped instantly.
"It's a leopard."
Someone in the live broadcast room recognized the species of leopard. Compared with other beasts, the clouded leopard is smaller in size, with colorful spots all over its body. Its light footsteps on the dead leaves make a rustling sound. Its seemingly graceful posture hides huge explosive power. As long as it leaps lightly, its sharp claws and fangs can tear the prey into pieces in an instant.
"Oh my god, how could there be a leopard, and a leopard at that? With its speed, how could a human outrun it?"
"Ahhh, if Leopard was facing someone else, I wouldn't be so worried, but why is it Chu Huaiqin? Everyone has seen it these past two days. His physical strength for climbing the mountain road is at the same level as my sister's. What should I do?"
“Don’t forget Chu Huaiqin’s flying knife that killed the snake before.”
"You can't throw knives at leopards. They are protected animals. Come on, Chu Huaiqin will be injured or even skinned alive."
"Leopards usually hunt in hiding, but this one is so strange. Not only did it appear, but it even barked."
Chu Huaiqin also noticed this. Glancing at Su Huaichen and the others, he waved his hand behind him, signaling them to retreat back into the tent. He held his breath, slowly moving backwards in sync with the leopard's movements. His eyes were fixed on its moving mouth, anticipating its next move.
"Sister, don't be afraid. Hide back in the tent and I'll guard it." After the little monk finished speaking, he didn't wait for the sister to agree or not. He stuffed the person back into the tent, pulled out a dagger and stood guard outside.
The others didn't go in, but like the little monk, they pulled out their daggers and placed them horizontally in front of them as a guard.
"elder brother."
Chu Huaiqin slowly tilted his head at the nervous voice, a little surprised by Xia En's call. At this moment, Xia En realized what he had called out in his nervousness. Chu Huaiqin glanced at him, and his face flushed. However, he still continued, "Don't move. I'll lure it."
"Don't make a fuss, little kid."
"I……"
“Woo woo!”
As if dissatisfied with being ignored, the leopard's eyes flashed with ferocity, and it let out a low warning sound. Its sturdy hind legs slightly pressed, its front legs stiffened, and its throat twitched, signaling an attack. Xia Energ, anxious, kicked the ground a few times, making noises to draw the leopard's attention. Unexpectedly, the leopard didn't even glance at him. Instead, it took two steps toward Chu Huaiqin, its cold and ferocious gaze chilling him to the bone.
"Awoo!" Xia En was anxious. He shouted at the leopard with its mouth open. He swung his hands as if running, kicked the ground a few times, and pretended to rush towards the leopard, intending to make the leopard notice him. "Come here."
on site:……
audience:……
"Pfft, I don't know why, I was a little nervous at first, but after Xia Entang did this, I found it kind of funny."
"Xia En is so stupid!"
"Well, injured wild animals are very aggressive. Didn't the production team bring poultry for them to hunt? Throw them out quickly! They won't attack Chu Huaiqin and the others if they're full!"
"I always feel that something is wrong. This is not in line with the habits of leopards."
Because of the sudden incident, many people entered the live broadcast room, including many people who had some knowledge in this area and raised questions about the leopard's abnormality.
Chu Huaiqin also thought so. He scanned the leopard's body and finally discovered what was going on. It had its foot on a trap and bright red blood was flowing out.
Chu Huaiqin said, "It's injured."
Everyone was stunned. The director team followed Chu Huaiqin's gaze and zoomed in the camera. They could clearly see the sharp teeth of the trap biting the animal's calf tightly, with blood all over the ground. No one knew how the animal had dragged the heavy trap to get here.
"What should I do? I suddenly feel so sorry for it."
"Everyone has a compassionate heart, but the person who set the trap went too far. If he gets caught, he'll be jailed for life."
"What should I do? What should I do now? How can I save it? Will I get bitten?"
Everyone's attitude changed after they discovered the leopard was injured.
"You are injured, I don't want to hurt you, be good and lie down, I will treat you?" Chu Huaiqin raised his hands in surrender, and in the incredible gaze of everyone, he actually moved towards the leopard, and the leopard seemed to be frightened by his action and took a few steps back.
Audience: What’s going on? Is the leopard afraid of Chu Huaiqin?
"Chu Huaiqin, stop making trouble and come back." The director team was also frightened. They didn't expect Chu Huaiqin to be so brave. "We brought a net."
Chu Huaiqin rejected it: "The net won't work, it will struggle."
The leopard's foot was injured too badly. If it struggled, it would probably lose its foot. Then it would have to be sent to a zoo instead of returning to the forest.
"Do you want to catch it?" Xia En immediately understood what Chu Huaiqin meant. "It's too dangerous."
The people in the live broadcast room also thought Chu Huaiqin was crazy. It was a leopard, not a cat. Even if it was a cat, it would be scratched if you scratched it with your bare hands. But being scratched by a leopard was not just a matter of wiping your saliva. At least a piece of flesh would be lost.
"Then it depends on whether you can keep up with my moves." Chu Huaiqin glanced at Xia En and smiled with a hint of ruffian air, which was particularly attractive.
"What are you going to do?"
"You go around behind it and let it pounce on me."
As soon as the plan came out, everyone's faces changed. Xia En was also shocked, but when he met Chu Huaiqin's gaze, he felt relieved instantly.
Xia Entang held his breath and moved cautiously. The leopard, which was watching Chu Huaiqin closely, noticed him, tilted its head slightly, and gave Xia Entang a low warning. Chu Huaiqin saw that he was ready and took a sudden step forward. The leopard instinctively lowered its body to pounce on Chu Huaiqin, but the trap on its hind legs held it back. As soon as it leaped, Chu Huaiqin had already pounced on it. In an instant, the leopard revealed its ferocious appearance and howled loudly. It dragged its injured leg and bared its fangs to bite Chu Huaiqin's neck as he approached...
"ah!"
Screams erupted simultaneously from the audience and the livestream. Just when everyone thought Chu Huaiqin was about to be bitten, he swayed, quickly avoiding the leopard's attack. He spun sideways behind the leopard, stretched out his arm, and hooked it. The leopard, in mid-air, was pulled close to his chest, its neck restrained by Chu Huaiqin's elbow, while his palm locked onto its open mouth. Of course, the leopard wouldn't sit still and wait for death. It exerted force from its powerful hind legs and waist simultaneously, trying to break free. At this moment, Xia En rushed over and grabbed the leopard's struggling legs. "Quick, rope."
The two men moved so quickly that it was not until Xia Entang called out to everyone that they reacted. They hurriedly grabbed the ropes and tied up the leopard's front and hind legs, and wrapped its mouth with a net.
"medicine."
Chu Huaiqin asked Xia En to hold down the leopard's body, and carefully pulled open the trap under the nervous gaze of everyone, and then disinfected and applied medicine. During this period, the leopard growled from time to time and looked at Chu Huaiqin with vicious eyes.
"We've contacted the helicopter, leave it to us!" The director team appeared, took the leopard and quickly disappeared from the camera. Only then did everyone come back to their senses.
"It seems that something remarkable has just been discovered."
"Is it so easy to catch a leopard?"
"Thinking of how Chu Huaiqin would rush on his way every day when the sun came out, I inexplicably wondered if the sun was his only weakness."
"Same as above. After all, yesterday's snake and today's leopard were both dealt with too easily."
"I was the only one who noticed that when Chu Huaiqin handed the leopard to the director team, he touched the leopard's legs with his hand. Haha, was he feeling sorry that it couldn't be eaten?" When this incident happened, it was almost four o'clock in the morning, but it also reminded everyone that there were real wild beasts at this time, and this was real survival in the wild, but the difference was that there were more people.
"You're not hurt, are you?" Xia En walked up to Chu Huaiqin with his hands in his pockets, pouting slightly and asking with a puzzled look, but his eyes were scanning Chu Huaiqin and his cheeks were slightly red.
Chu Huaiqin raised his eyebrows and smiled, "No."
"Oh," Xia Entang responded, kicking the ground twice, turning and walking two steps away. Then, as if thinking of something, he turned back and said, "It's not that I'm concerned about you, it's just that we're on the same team, and I'm afraid you'll hold us back."
After saying this, he walked away with his chin slightly raised.
Su Huaichen and others who were about to go forward to show concern for Chu Huaiqin looked at each other in confusion. It turned out that rich people's brain circuits were not normal.
The trending search of Chu Huaiqin saving the injured leopard has come up on Weibo again. The former questioned whether it was the director's special effects team who killed the snake. Seeing Chu Huaiqin easily counterattack the leopard again, everyone was in the mood to give him six points.
What if the squeamish are not squeamish? So conspiracy theories emerged, saying that leopards must be domesticated.
In the early morning, everyone got up early and saw that there was only half a bamboo tube left over from drinking the dew. Lin Yongfu suggested that everyone collect dew.
Everyone: ...
After a simple wash, the people here were divided into three groups, one group looking for water, one group looking for food, and one group looking for medicinal herbs. The sixteen kinds of medicinal herbs given by the program team are all common in the mountains or fields, and it is not difficult to find them.
Su Huaichen and Chu Huaiqin went to find food together, chatting as they walked.
"As the director said, the 'assassins' set out yesterday afternoon. If they're professionals, they could easily catch up with us in a day," Su Huaichen said. According to the timetable, they should arrive by noon today at the earliest, or tonight or tomorrow morning at the latest.
"That's a good thing." After hearing what Su Huaichen said, Chu Huaiqin touched his chin and replied. A light flashed in his eyes, and the smile at the corner of his mouth made him look a little creepy for some reason.
As the resource-rich mountain mentioned by the director, it must be a resource-rich mountain. In the early morning, the most common fungus is the pleated oyster mushroom, which grows on trees, stacked layer on layer, and can be broken into a large piece. The pleated bamboo fungus is the most beautiful, with the common spherical gray-white head, surrounded by a layer of white skirt, like a bride's white veil, very beautiful, and is known as the queen of fungi.
It's delicious, rich, and has a very substantial texture.
Unfortunately, the quantity was small. After wandering around the mountain for half a day, the two of them only managed to collect a small half frame. Cooking a meal wouldn't satisfy hunger, so they discussed and continued walking deeper into the mountain. The forest became increasingly dense, making it difficult for the director's equipment to move forward, so they had to send a drone to follow them. Chu Huaiqin and the others didn't need to worry; finding food was easier in the dense forest.
"There is a steep slope here. The ground is wet in the morning and it is easy to slip. You have to be careful." Chu Huaiqin wiped the sweat from his face and said to Su Huaichen in front of him.
"Don't worry, my shoes are non-slip. But you, Huaiqin, are you okay? I can hear your panting when I walk in front of you."
"It's okay, I..."
The voice disappeared, and Chu Huaiqin, who was talking to Su Huaichen, instantly disappeared from the live broadcast room.
Everyone: ...
"Your body is strange. It seems that you can't stand the sun. I saw you were quite lively at night," Su Huaichen continued, but he walked and walked without hearing any response. He continued: "Don't be angry, I am concerned about you. Are you feeling weak? Ah, this can't be discussed here. How about this, I will go to your tent tonight to talk to you about this..."
"Ahhh, Emperor Su, Chu Huaiqin is gone, gone."
"Holy crap! This is the first time I've noticed Actor Su is so talkative! Man, man, your teammates are gone! Are you talking to ghosts?"
"Oh my god, is Chu Huaiqin an idiot? He didn't even scream when he slid down. Is there anyone like him?"
"Ahhh, director team, please help!"
The incident happened so suddenly that everyone was stunned for a moment before reacting. The livestream was filled with screams. Su Huaichen, however, continued to chatter to himself. Because the path they were taking was too densely covered with brush, the director team didn't follow them, but instead used a drone to follow. Su Huaichen was the only one on the scene.
What’s hateful is that Chu Huaiqin’s teammates were still walking and talking, and the live broadcast room was almost going crazy.
"By the way, Feng Shan said yesterday that he wanted to change the route. Did you think that we could find food this morning, so you said you would do it today? Oh, right, we've been following the director's route for the past two days and haven't seen any food at all. Now we've stopped and walked into the dense forest, and we've picked so many mushrooms. Do you think the director did this on purpose..."
"Huaiqin, Huaiqin, why don't you answer me?" Su Huaichen scratched his head, "Are you angry because I said you were weak?"
A man certainly doesn't like to be called weak. Su Huaichen should reflect on himself.
"Oh my god, another fool, I can't stand it anymore."
"You Huaiqin was abducted by aliens. Ah, Emperor Su, why are you so slow? I'm about to cry."
"Ahhh, my brother Qin, who will come and ask for him?"
"Su Huaichen, wake up, Chu Huaiqin is missing."
"Why not..." Su Huaichen turned around, then froze in silence. It took him a while to come back to his senses. He blinked and shouted twice, "Chu Huaiqin, Chu Huaiqin."
No one answered in the dense woods.
"Finally found Chu Huaiqin missing, mom is so happy, hurry back to find him, there is no sound, he must have fainted!"
"I was so anxious! I called the production team, but the line was busy."
"Oh my God, please, Emperor Su, be smart. Chu Huaiqin is missing. Go find someone to save him. No, you have to go save him quickly. It might be too late if someone comes."
"Don't worry, Emperor Su has already noticed that Chu Huaiqin is missing and will go to rescue him immediately."
Su Huaichen looked around, tilted his head slightly to think for a while, and muttered, "You didn't wait for me and went back by yourself!"
audience:……
The slow-witted will be burned to death, for sure.
