In the darkness of the night, heart-rending roars carried endless rage and killing.

The cheetah kicked the ground with both legs, and its streamlined body was like a spring, jumping more than ten meters, and in a blink of an eye, it was already in front of the fire.

Because Tang Luotong didn't prepare much, the bonfire was not particularly vigorous, after all, there was still a period of time before dawn.

If all the firewood is used, the fire will be deadly.

With his eyes wide open, he clenched the wooden stick in his hand, and Ye Chen, who stood up with his body propped up, looked directly at the cheetah that pounced.

Through the fire, you can feel the strong murderous aura that rushes to your face, and the desire for food makes the cheetah show its most primitive killing nature.

"Kill!"

Maybe it's because he was stimulated by the murderous aura of the cheetah, or maybe Ye Chen was born with the best warrior genes.

Ye Chen, who only felt that there was no strength all over his body, also shouted, and kicked towards the fire with his right foot.

With the splashing of dead branches, the flames rose suddenly, and taking this opportunity, Ye Chen waved the wooden stick in his hand and smashed it towards the cheetah that pounced.

In one leap, the cheetah was already in front of the fire, with its front legs on the ground and its hind legs on its front legs.

The hind legs kicked violently, soaring into the air like arrows, the bloody mouth wide open, and the sharp fangs carried a chilling light.

The front legs pounced forward, the sharp claws protruded, and the claws with barbed hooks were also its weapons, and they went straight to Ye Chen's shoulders.

Everything was done in a flash of light, and seeing the cheetah pounce, the wooden stick with the flames in Ye Chen's hand had already whistled out.

A wooden stick ignited by the flames was his only weapon, and seeing that the cheetah that had risen into the air had jumped more than two meters, Ye Chen knew that if he missed, he would die and have no place to be buried.

At this time, all Ye Chen's attention was concentrated, the lethality of the wooden stick was insufficient, even if it hit its body, it was impossible to cause fatal damage to it.

Therefore, the only way to use fire is to force it back, which is also Ye Chen's only chance to survive.

"Bang!"

Finally, Ye Chen, who was quick with his hands, hit the head of the cheetah, and the head of the burning stick hit its grinning teeth.

Sparks flew and sawdust flew sideways, in Tang Luotong's opinion, it was just a momentary thing, but it condensed all of Ye Chen's concentration.

"Whew!"

Hit in the head, the cheetah was immediately knocked out, and landed on the ground with a low roar, and with its long tail swinging, it rolled on all fours.

Rolling over again, it instinctively shook its head, the blow was not serious for its external injuries, after all, only the arm-thick dead branches were not strong.

But the burning flame burned its beard, and the bitterness of the charcoal in its mouth made it constantly try to spit it out.

Shaking repeatedly, the cheetah began to instinctively retreat, and the taste of the flames made it feel threatened like never before.

Ye Chen on the opposite side couldn't relax, this blow broke the wooden stick more than a meter long into two, and a section of the flame was all sent flying.

Hurriedly inserting the few remaining wooden sticks into the fire, Ye Chen endured the pain and kicked the surrounding firewood into the fire with his foot.

The fire must not be extinguished, that is the only guarantee for them to live, looking at the cheetah retreating again and again, Ye Chen can't retreat for half a minute.

It was known that it was not seriously injured, but this blow was a big blow to its psyche.

As long as its faith is shaken, then it will be able to benefit from its invincible position.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Thinking of this, Ye Chen grabbed the wooden stick, and he didn't care that the wooden stick was not ignited, he waved the wooden stick and walked towards the cheetah.

With a constant roar in his mouth, he walked through the fire step by step and headed towards the cheetah on the opposite side.

And with Ye Chen's approach, the cheetah roared in a low voice, revealing its sharp teeth, with unwillingness and fear in its eyes, and its body began to retreat unconsciously.

"Come on! Eat me! You're not very good! ”

If it was a sharp blade in his hand, I am afraid that Ye Chen would have already pounced.

The angry Ye Chen kept roaring, waving the wooden stick, and now he has the initiative.

In the midst of the rage, the cheetah hesitated several times, and tried to turn the tables in the end, but it did not succeed, and after showing its sharp teeth with a low roar, it turned around and fled into the night.

"Poof!"

It wasn't until the cheetah disappeared without a trace that Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Sweat had soaked through his clothes, and he had never been so nervous when fighting the enemy with bayonets.

Dropping the wooden stick in his hand, Ye Chen's body shook a little, and he who had recovered a little physical strength was really tired at this time.

Fortunately, after several evaluations, the cheetah finally chose to retreat, which can be regarded as allowing Ye Chen to pick up a life, dragging his numb left leg, Ye Chen staggered back to the trunk.

"It's okay, it's not coming back for a while."

Sitting on the ground, Ye Chen wiped the sweat on his face and said to Tang Luotong, who was still sitting in place.

"I'm so useless, I can't help anything!"

Tang Luotong had tears in her eyes, and the scene just now had scared her so much that she couldn't move at all.

The feeling of collapse in her legs made her unable to stand up and support Ye Chen when she saw Ye Chen stumbling.

Looking back now, I didn't do anything except curl up there and shed tears.

"You're already good, I'm afraid I'll be scared if you were someone else, don't blame yourself, I'm scared to be honest, you see my legs are still a little shaky."

Ye Chen comforted Tang Luotong, and at the same time reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, facing the beast at such a close distance, even he would feel scared.

"Really?"

Tang Luotong grabbed Ye Chen's arm, her body was still trembling a little, she was really frightened.

"Of course, but don't worry, it has been driven away by me, it probably won't come back, and it's a good thing for us, the average predator has its own territory, this should be its sphere of influence, then it's gone, and there shouldn't be any other carnivores to harass us tonight."

The appearance of cheetahs is not a bad thing for them, if this territory belongs to the lions, it is the most terrible thing.

Now that they were scared away by the fire, they were temporarily free from the threat of carnivorous beasts, and at least they could rest peacefully now.

"But I'm still scared!"

After listening to Ye Chen's words, Tang Luotong still felt scared, this kind of fear that exploded from the inside of the bone marrow, how could she sleep.

"It's okay, don't think about cheetahs, just think about other things."

As soon as Ye Chen stretched out his hand, he took Tang Luotong into his arms, and hugged Tang Luotong, who was trembling, and now he didn't care about whether men and women could kiss or not.

Curled up in Ye Chen's arms, Tang Luotong, who was gradually calming down, kept her eyes closed, and she didn't know when she fell asleep unconsciously.

This was only the first night on the prairie, and the danger had only just begun.
