Chapter 229: Tailgating and Pursuit
As soon as he arrived in this primeval forest, he fought a few inexplicably, and the number and combat effectiveness of the enemy made Li Rui suspect that it was the group of people who surrounded and suppressed the first squad, although it is true that countries will send armed forces to the primeval forest to carry out various strange tasks, but the number of people will not be too much, and the actions are secretive, I am afraid that people will be known, where will they hunt down others with such fanfare? With a completely undying posture, and more importantly, a large number of people, in view of this, Li Rui has reason to suspect that the identity of this group of enemies is the person he is looking for.
The valley is full of horror and mystery, the empty ground, the weird poisonous snakes, and the unknown dangers, which are not at all people can pass through, plus to find the first squad, it is the best choice to follow the enemy to catch up, as for the danger, where is there no danger on the battlefield? A patch of grass, a mosquito, an inadvertent blood-sucking leech, and even a wisp of mist in the forest are deadly threats, not to mention miasma.
Li Rui quickly chased after him, the ground was full of footprints, but it was easy to find, walked a distance, Li Rui suddenly stopped, carefully observed the surroundings, the left side is the footprints that he walked when he came, dense, only the footprints that disappeared, there were no footprints on the right side, where did the evacuated enemy go?
After observing for a while, Li Rui didn't find any clues, so he sniffed with his nose, there was actually a breath of someone passing on the right side, but there were no footprints on the right side, Li Rui was suspicious, thought about it, and chased the past to the right, the footprints can be camouflaged or even erased, but the breath of people passing by can't be faked, Li Rui believes in his own judgment.
All the way forward, unconsciously turned over a mountain range, down the ridge, a river appeared in front, there were more chaotic footprints on the side of the river, obviously someone stayed here, Li Rui quickly followed the footprints to the river, there were no footprints on the left and right, the enemy crossed the river.
I have to say that the enemy's camouflage methods are very clever, and all traces along the way have been erased, if it weren't for Li Rui's talent for tracking, he could smell the breath of people passing by in the air, and he would definitely not be able to find this place, so when he got to the river, the enemy would not bother to hide his whereabouts and cross the river.
In fact, crossing the river is also a very clever camouflage, the river water cannot leave any traces, it is impossible to judge whether the enemy went upstream or downstream, and from where he landed, so even if someone chased here, there was no way to continue to track, however, except for Li Rui.
The enemy is far away, and it is impossible to leave someone to ambush and break off, however, Li Rui still found a place to hide out of caution, and observed the surroundings through the sniper scope, anyway, the breath in the air will not disappear so quickly, don't worry about losing it, Li Rui patiently observed.
There are tall trees everywhere, the bushes on the banks of the river are dense, there are many birds chirping in the forest, and occasionally there are some ape roars, the distance is a little far, and other than that, only the unknown cicadas are leaving the tireless chirping of the cicadas, which resounded through the mountain forest, making this noisy mountain forest a little more boring.
After a while, Li Rui was about to get up and cross the river, when he suddenly heard the sound of a rope, and a low bush of branches swaying, and he couldn't help but be shocked, could it be that the enemy had broken troops? I didn't have time to think about it, I quickly hid it, clenched my weapon and waited solemnly, staring at the front with a pair of tiger eyes, ready for battle.
The dense bushes continued to shake, the movement was a little loud, not like a person, Li Rui continued to stare ahead in surprise, and after a while, a cheetah the size of a calf slowly came out of the woods, very leisurely, as a fierce beast at the top of the food chain in the forest, the cheetah didn't care about any potential dangers around.
There are some yellow spots on the cheetah's body, like ancient copper coins, the hair is very neat, as if it has just been washed, the body is streamlined and shaking when walking, the limbs are strong and powerful, every step is very leisurely, and confident, the head occasionally looks east and west, more like an overlord looking at his territory.
Not long after the cheetah came to the river, poked its head out to drink water, two small birds in the bushes flew out in fright, and flew high into the air and chirped, and overheard that it flew away, and the black leopard continued to drink water leisurely, just like his own backyard, and even looked around for danger.
Li Rui has been hunting since he was a child, and he knows very well that cheetahs are social animals, and there are at least two of them every time they go out, when one is drinking water, the other must be lurking around on guard, not daring to move, and even controlling his breathing to the minimum, for fear of making a noise that will alarm the cheetah.
Cheetahs are definitely the dominant position in the forest, but for a genetic warrior, Li Rui is sure to hunt the other party in minutes, even if three or five cheetahs come over, they can deal with it, but they don't want to make trouble, and after waiting for a while, the cheetah drank enough water and returned slowly.
It didn't take long for Li Rui to see the same cheetah, which was as strong as a calf, came out of the dense bushes, and rubbed the cheetah in front of him affectionately with his head for a while, letting out a few low roars, looking like a pair, the first cheetah slowly moved forward and submerged into the forest, and the cheetah that came out from behind came to the river and stretched its neck to drink water.
Suddenly, there was a sudden splash in the river, freeing up a huge black shadow, which stretched out its bloody mouth and bit the throat of the cheetah, twisted hard, and dragged the cheetah directly into the water, splashing a bigger splash, and then, the river whirlpooled, and a large puddle of blood came out.
"Crocodile?" Li Rui was shocked when he saw this scene, and almost shouted, he never expected that there were crocodiles in the water, fortunately he didn't swim blindly just now, otherwise he wouldn't know who the dead were, it was really a terrifying primeval forest, full of killing machines, and it couldn't be theorized as usual.
"Oh-" The cheetah roared angrily before, roared out of the bushes, and ran forward, the hair on its body trembled, strong and powerful, and then, the cheetah suddenly jumped hard, soared into the sky, and let out a violent roar, extremely fierce, and its body formed a beautiful arc in the void, like an international swimmer drilling into the water, Li Rui was dumbfounded.
"Did the cheetah dive to save his companions?" Li Rui looked at this scene in surprise, and couldn't react for a while, there are feelings between animals, and it is normal to save companions in an emergency, but the cheetah is the overlord of the land, and when it comes to the water, it will become a crocodile's meal? Isn't this sending to death?
Immediately afterwards, Li Rui saw the underwater whirlpool rolling, splashing everywhere, as if something was fighting, and couldn't help but be shocked, is this still a cheetah? The river was churning, red with blood, swirling, and from time to time there was a big splash, and I don't know if it was a cheetah or a crocodile.
