Chapter 31: Fighting the Black Cloud Leopard (2)
(PS: Recommend a good book "The Supreme Bookworm in the City" is really interesting!)
Because its whole body, including the eyes, is pitch black, it hides in the dark and won't be discovered by prey as long as it doesn't make a sound or breathe. When the prey relaxes its vigilance, that's when the black clouded leopard attacks. For this reason, the black clouded leopard is also known as the "King of Nighttime Assassins"!
It's all because the Black Cloud Leopard's special ability "Piercing Stone Claw" is extremely powerful! Once hit by the Black Cloud Leopard's Piercing Stone Claw, there's almost no chance of survival, as its claws carry a highly corrosive toxin that rots flesh and corrodes blood! Extremely troublesome! And the Black Cloud Leopard's strongest killing move is actually its pair of pitch-black eyes. The Black Cloud Leopard is one of the few top-tier spirit beasts in the Misty Forest that can see at night!
"Halt, there's a situation." Chang Sheng observed the surroundings and found that within a 50-meter radius, there was only one black cloud leopard, a second-tier spiritual beast. Not having encountered the worst-case scenario, he halted his figure and spoke in a low voice.
Upon hearing Chang Sheng's cautious voice, the three Pang Hai people suddenly tensed up. They quickly slowed down and surrounded Chang Sheng, entering a state of combat readiness. The true energy in their dantian and qihai swirled rapidly, transmitting streams of flowing true energy to the Laogong acupoint on their right hands.
Chang Sheng grasped the giant sword in his hand, its tip pointing upwards, and gestured towards the black cloud leopard thirty meters away on the giant tree to the west. Because Chang Sheng knew that the black cloud leopard had already fixed its gaze on Pang Hai's body, so tonight would not end well, there was only one battle!
It's not that we must fight to win, but after all, it's nighttime now. Who knows where a powerful spirit beast might be hiding? If we're ambushed by a hidden spirit beast while fleeing, and then attacked by the Black Cloud Leopard as well, the consequences would be even more unbearable!
After some thought, Chang Sheng could only decide to fight one of them! So Chang Sheng, without hesitation, pointed his giant sword at the Black Cloud Leopard, his eyes tightly fixed on the leopard's eyes, his provocative meaning couldn't be clearer.
It's better to lure the black clouded leopard into a direct attack than to let it lurk in the dark and wait for an opportunity to ambush, which can also reduce unnecessary damage.
The black clouded leopard hiding in the treetops, seeing its prey in its eyes, can actually discover itself, and the dark beast's pupils shrink slightly. With a scarlet tongue, it licks its exposed fangs, and its robust body suddenly trembles, revealing perfect muscle lines!
Only to see, the black cloud leopard lightly jumped onto the treetop, just like a dancer in the dark night, and landed very lightly on the ground. Its body leaned back, its front two hooves scratched the ground lightly, and a black shadow appeared. However, the black cloud leopard flashed and came to within ten meters of Chang Sheng and the other four!
"Whoa, so fast!" Seeing the speed of the black cloud leopard, Chang Sheng's pitch-black eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately pushed Pang Hai and Duan Yun behind him. His eyes were fixed tightly on the black cloud leopard ten meters away, and he licked his somewhat dry lips, using a commanding tone to say: "Nie Chen, you three form a small circle, and retreat to the giant tree in the distance. Stand there without moving, no matter what happens later, unless I call you, you absolutely must not leave on your own or join the battle without permission."
This commanding tone was the first time that Pong Hai and his two companions had heard it from the usually humble mouth of Chang Sheng, and for a moment the three were stunned, but Chang Sheng did not give them a chance to speak.
