Flower Fairy's Tribulation

That day, he was walking around on a hillside and calling. There seemed to be an echo in the forest in the evening. He ran over and saw a huge leopard fighting with a pangolin nearly three meters long.

Lin Chenzhong was careful at all times and did not dare to get closer to take a closer look. He quickly climbed up a tree in front of him where three people were hugging each other. He climbed until he was almost at the top of the tree and could see the leopard and pangolin again before he stopped.

The leopard is agile and can climb trees to shelter. If the leopard found Lin Chenzhong turning around to attack him, Lin Chenzhong would not be able to outrun the leopard, so he immediately climbed up the tree and transformed into three battle axes stuck in it. He sat on a tree branch and used his eyesight to watch carefully.

The leopard is huge, about two and a half meters long. Based on its size, it should be a beast that has been cultivated for ten thousand years. It looks like a tiger but not a tiger, with a uniform body and medium-long limbs, a small head and a long tail, short and strong limbs, gray-white claws that can be retracted, yellow coat, covered with black ring spots; the spots on the head are small and dense, and the spots on the back are dense and dense. It is larger, with spots in a round or oval plum blossom pattern, similar to the round shape of gold coins, so it is also known as the "Golden Leopard".

Leopards live in forests, shrubs, wetlands, deserts and other environments. Their nests are mostly built in dense trees, shrubs or caves. They live alone, are often active at night, and rest in trees or caves during the day. The range of activities is relatively fixed in places where food is abundant; when food is scarce, they will wander for dozens of miles in search of food. It is good at hunting various ungulates, monkeys, rabbits, rodents, birds and fish. It also eats sweet berries in autumn.

The head and body of the pangolin are about three meters long, and the tail is half a meter long. The scales on the whole body are like tiles, and the scales are parallel to the body axis. It is too far away to see how many rows of scales it has. The scales are brown, and it is a Nian beast with a long history of cultivation. The edges of the scales are orange-brown or gray-brown, and the unkeratinized scales of young animals are yellow. The snout is slender, the brain is large and conical, the eyes are small, the body is narrow and long, the limbs are short and short, the tail is flat and long, and the back is slightly raised. The tongue is long and toothless, the ears are underdeveloped, and it has 5 toes and strong claws; the front claws are long, especially the third claw in the middle, and the rear claws are shorter and smaller; it can dig in the soil to a depth of 3-2 meters, and the diameter and body shape are The holes are similar in thickness, and the diameter of the nest at the end is about twice the length of the body; it uses its long tongue to lick termites, ants, bees or other insects.

The pangolin, which was all brown in color, was pinned to the ground and kept being slapped by the leopard. Its front and rear paws were vigorously poking at the ground, causing mud to fly. After a while, it dug a big hole in the ground and wanted to get into the hole to escape, but the leopard Biting its tail, he pulled it out and stabbed it with sharp claws, urging the fangs to bite continuously. The pangolin kept hissing and screaming. After several rounds of this, the pangolin was unable to escape its bad luck. Slowly When it stopped moving, the leopard turned it over, tore open its skin and flesh from the lower abdomen where it was not protected by scales, and devoured it with large bites.

After half an hour, the leopard slowly left after eating enough. The sky was already dark, and the leopard's eyes gradually began to shine, like two shining stars, trembling up and down with the ups and downs of its body.

Lin Chenzhong was riding on the tree without daring to move. The leopard came towards him. When it reached the tree, it did not leave. It stretched out its legs to urinate, and then started to climb the big tree.

Lin Chenzhong secretly complained: This leopard is not interested in this tree and wants to spend the night in it, right? Shouldn't leopards normally sleep during the day and be active at night?

Lin Chenzhong prayed secretly: Go down for a walk! There are delicious food elsewhere!

The leopard climbed five or six meters high and stood on a branch of a tree. He raised his head and looked up at the tree. His eyes were sparkling. Lin Chenzhong was heartbroken and thought: Could it have noticed me?

The leopard kept staring at Lin Chenzhong's hiding place, then growled from time to time, and started to climb up again. He understood: the leopard had indeed discovered his existence and wanted to come up and bite him.

Without hesitation, he picked up an ax and threw it towards the two twinkling eyes of the leopard. Before the first one fell, he threw three axes in succession. The leopard climbing the tree saw something coming out of the tree. It fell from a height, shook its head and dodged the first two axes. The third one hit it on the neck, blood spattered everywhere. The leopard let out its paws with a roar, and its huge body rolled and fell to the ground. The leopard quickly turned over and got up, roared and ran away, disappearing into the dark forest in the blink of an eye.

After scaring away the leopard, Lin Chenzhong breathed a sigh of relief and climbed up to the top of the tree. He released a long rope and a set of quilts from the belt bag, wrapped himself in the quilt, leaving only his arms exposed, and tied himself with the rope. I slept quietly on the tree trunk and on the top of the tree all night.

I woke up early the next morning, packed my things, found a wide tree branch, sat down cross-legged, and practiced for more than an hour. I ate some dry food before getting down from the tree.

The moss and weeds under the trees were still stained with faint traces of leopard blood. I looked around, observing which direction to go, when I saw a group of bright things in the distance shining and shining against the rising sun.

He transformed into a tomahawk, carried the courage and walked closer to the light to look at it. It turned out to be a piece of leather with scales on the back of a pangolin. It was two meters long and 1.4 meters wide. It was a relatively complete piece of leather with the tail missing. The scales There are still many light scratches on the armor from the leopard's claws, but there is no damage: the leather must be very tough, and a whole piece was torn off without any additional cracks. The other pangolin bones may have been dragged away or eaten by other passing animals, and there is no trace. This piece of leather is too tough to eat, so it was thrown here.

The scales of the pangolin are surprisingly small and stacked together like fish scales.

"How come there are such tiny pangolin scales? The diameter of the scales of such a huge pangolin must be about 10 centimeters." Lin Chenzhong thought about it carefully: "The Spiritual Beast Records say that there is such a thin lin pangolin, leather It can be made into armor, which is invulnerable to ordinary metals, and the older ones can withstand the divine attacks of a certain level of elf warriors."

He couldn't tell the age of the pangolin, so he put the piece of pangolin skin on a smooth stone and used his battle ax to cut off the parts without scales on the edge. He also tested the toughness of the leather. It took a lot of effort. After a long time, Jin couldn't cut it off. The sharp blade of the battle ax left only faint scratches on the leather, and even the magical power of Judinglinghuayun couldn't cut it.

Lin Chenzhong's ax was as sharp as chopping a watermelon, but it couldn't cut it. Moreover, the leather felt as soft as snake skin. He didn't know what use it could be, so he threw it away and left.

After walking a few hundred meters, he thought again: That piece of leather is so pliable. If I want to take it back and make it into gloves or something, I won't be afraid of weapons and the like pricking my hands. Or put it under your buttocks when sitting on the ground to prevent grass roots from getting stuck. It can be of some use anyway.

He went back to look for the leather, only to see two huge century-old pigs digging into the leather, biting and tearing each other back, moaning and groaning. Lin Chenzhong was not afraid that they would tear the leather to pieces. Standing aside to watch the excitement, the two green-faced and tusked wild boars had been busy for a long time, unable to get the piece of leather. When they noticed Lin Chenzhong nearby, they immediately dropped the leather in their mouths and rushed towards him.

He was not afraid of the pig. The first spirit flower flashed, he gathered his battle ax and chopped at the first pig that rushed over. The pig tilted its head and dodged, and knocked Lin Chenzhong five or six meters away with its body. , before he could stand still, the second wild boar rushed over, pushed him to the ground with his big nose, then ran past him, stepped on his leg with a hoof, and almost broke his leg. He bared his teeth and screamed in pain.

The pig was so fast that it rushed into the bushes not far away and turned back. Then he heard a buzzing sound. He got up and almost cried out of fright: following the pigs, a group of pigeon-sized birds flew out from the bushes. The hornet was chasing the pig, and every time the hornet stung the pig, a swelling as big as the mouth of a bowl bulged up on the pig's body. At a glance, it was clear that the tail stinger of the hornet was highly venomous.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the pig in the distance stopped paying attention to Lin Chenzhong, grunted, turned around and ran away, turning around and disappearing into the bushes.

Lin Chenzhong quickly got up and pounced on the piece of thin-scale pangolin leather as if he had been reincarnated. He curled up and hid under the leather, pulling hard on the edge of the leather, not daring to expose his body.

The pig outside was attacked by hornet wasps all over its body and gained a lot of weight. It fell to the ground before running five or sixty meters. After a few minutes of grunting, it straightened its legs.

Lin Chenzhong is not afraid of poison, but the stinger of the hornet wasp can pierce the skin of a rough and thick-skinned pig, causing a big swelling and killing it within a few minutes. This shows how toxic it is. If Lin Chenzhong He was also stunned by them, and the feeling he felt was definitely not wonderful.

The densely packed pigeon-sized hornet wasps brought down the hornet pig that had accidentally disturbed them, then circled nearby for a while, looking for other intruders, and stung the thin-scaled pangolin leather, which their stingers could not penetrate. Leather gave up the attack when he found that the fine-scaled pangolin was not moving, hovered for a while and flew away.

Lin Chenzhong breathed a long sigh of relief. Only when he saw that all the hornets had flown away did he dare to get up and carry the leather and run away. He took it to a stream and washed it to remove the smell of blood. He then collapsed on a large bare stone to dry and fold it. So he could put it away into his divine bag, and then continue his wandering search journey.
