Chapter 652: The Leopard Threat (End of the Fifth Watch)

The fire flickered, illuminating the surroundings of the two men, but the darkness in the distance was like hell, and they couldn't see their fingers.

In this kind of dark night, those blue eyes are particularly penetrating, and Tang Luotong can't take her eyes off just one glance.

The brain was blank, and the whole person was stunned, not scared, and I didn't know if it was panic, anyway, she only felt that the whole person couldn't move.

It's like being dotted in the Buddha's martial arts, and there is no feeling up and down, and his eyes are wide without blinking.

Forgetting how to breathe, he opened his mouth and looked at those eyes with a beastly nature, and the shock from dozens of meters away was amazing.

Ye Chen, who realized that something was wrong, also discovered what Tang Luotong was concerned about, and when he saw those eyes, he couldn't help but get nervous.

However, Ye Chen did not panic, and stretched out his hand to pull Tang Luotong, who was leaning on his shoulder and couldn't move, directly to the other side of his body.

It was only at this time that Tang Luotong was suddenly relieved, but although his limbs had a feeling, they were so soft that he couldn't control them, and he was trembling on Ye Chen's shoulder.

"Beast!"

These are the only words that Tang Luotong can think of in her mind now, except for these stunning eyes, she has not seen clearly what the owner of those eyes is.

"Well, don't move!"

Sitting on the ground, Ye Chen stood sideways in front of Tang Luotong, of course he knew that it was a beast, and he also knew that the owner of the pair of eyes in front of him was an adult cheetah.

At this time, the cheetah was obviously also looking at the two people in front of him, and it probably saw the fire for the first time in his life with its head tilted.

The body length is close to one meter five, and the weight should be more than 100 catties, it has streamlined lines and black spots all over its body. There is a black streak from the corner of the mouth to the corner of the eye.

The end of the tail has a black ring, and the hair on the back of the neck is relatively long, like a very short mane, and the body is slender, with long legs and a small head.

Such a perfect body shape makes it one of the deadliest hunters on the grassland, and its fangs carry the power of a king.

However, because of its unfamiliarity, it did not attack immediately, but stood there, observing the two creatures under the tree that had never been seen before in the grassland.

There is no murderous aura without attack, but it does not mean that it is friendly, staring at those big eyes, it is just assessing whether the two strange creatures in front of it can be added to its own recipe, I am afraid that as long as it is sure that Ye Chen and Tang Luotong can eat it, it will pounce without hesitation.

Ye Chen swallowed his saliva, if he was not nervous at all, it would be absolutely, after all, he had nothing to do with injuries.

Looking at the cheetah's shriveled belly, it should not have eaten for a few days.

Wild animals don't have the carefree life of humans, and three meals a day is a luxury for them.

Even the best hunters have to endure frequent hunger times in this grassland, so eating is definitely the most important thing for it.

Fortunately, the flames on the side have a natural deterrent to the beast, otherwise I am afraid that it would have already touched it silently.

The cheetah didn't move, and Ye Chen didn't move, staring at the cheetah with a pair of eyes.

It's a deterrent, but it's also a warning that it has discovered its presence and that it should not move easily.

The stalemate, unfolding between humans and beasts, between the indifference of the enemy and the immobility, Tang Luotong, who was hiding behind Ye Chen, hugged his arm tightly.

This is the only existence she can feel safe, biting her mouth to prevent herself from screaming, and the feeling of looking at the wild cheetah at close range at this time is definitely not a horror that ordinary people can understand.

"Hiss ......"

Finally, the cheetah moved, letting out a low roar from its mouth, and it slowly lowered its head, but it was still staring at Ye Chen.

The vigorous limbs moved slowly, and it actually began to circle around Ye Chen and Tang Luotong.

It didn't seem to give up on the strange creature, but it didn't quite decide to attack either, but instead began to observe it with its instincts.

Ye Chen, who was leaning against the big tree, his eyes moved with the movement of the cheetah, and his right hand was always holding a wooden stick inserted into the flames, and the withered branches of his arm were his only weapons to save his life.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

While looking at the cheetah, Ye Chen comforted Tang Luotong, who was trembling, and stretched out his hand to take her into his arms, now there is only this he can do.

Lying in Ye Chen's arms, Tang Luotong closed her eyes tightly, she didn't dare to look at the eyes of the cheetah, because tears couldn't help but flow.

Sticking to Ye Chen's chest tightly, feeling his strong and powerful heartbeat, the smell of sweat that penetrated into her nose was so wonderful at this time, she knew that Ye Chen was her biggest support.

Around the fire, the cheetah's low roar grew louder and louder, and if this was the language, I am afraid it should have been a warning before the attack.

His left leg was numb and unable to move, Ye Chen slowly curled up his right leg at his side, his left hand blocked Tang Luotong in his arms, and his right hand held the wooden stick tightly.

A pair of eyes under the reflection of the flames, also with a smell of killing, as the king of soldiers, he knows the law of the jungle, if the cheetah feels your cowardice, he will not hesitate to pounce.

Its sharp claws and fangs are definitely a lethal weapon, even if Ye Chen has a superb Chinese martial arts, he still can't treat an adult cheetah empty-handed.

What's more, he is still injured, once it pounces, the two of them will definitely die, and his brain is constantly thinking about how he should act.

The cheetah's patience is also disappearing little by little, and more than half an hour has passed since it appeared.

The hunger in its belly made it have an irresistible greed for these two strange creatures, and slowly lowered its body, with a state that could rush up at any time.

From its movements, Ye Chen already sensed the threat, especially the murderous aura from the beast spreading, and it seemed that it was not ready to let go of the two people.

With his right hand, he moved the fire and threw a few sticks of firewood into it, and the flames beat more violently under the sparks, which was also a kind of protection for the two people.

"Don't move!"

The cheetah's low roar grew louder and louder, and the cheetah, wandering back and forth, tried to bypass the fire, which was its last preparation.

Ye Chen pulled Tang Luotong up and let her lean against the tree pole, this time I am afraid that he will have a head-to-head confrontation with the cheetah.

Looking at Ye Chen's state of climbing up on the ground, Tang Luotong had too much to say, but it seemed that something was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say it at all.

Sitting there with her feet weak, under the background of the firelight, Ye Chen's back was so majestic, so that the tension that was about to suffocate was slightly relieved.

"Whew! Kill! ”

A roar of rage was uttered by man and beast at the same time.
