Chapter 897 Brother Leopard and Sister Leopard
Although the only adult female leopard in the middle of the three leopards that could pose a real threat to Xia Qing, she did not dare to relax at all and decided to quickly take samples and withdraw from the leopard's territory.
Leopards are extremely ferocious sneak predators, good at crouching in the dark for a long time and suddenly launching attacks. If it is a one-on-one battle, the combat power of ordinary leopards is higher than that of ordinary wolves.
What's more dangerous is that leopards, who live alone and hunt alone, have also evolved cooperative behavior after the great evolution of star creatures. When encountering dangers that cannot be repelled alone, leopards will howl and call nearby leopards to help defend against the enemy.
In general, the territory chosen by female leopards is adjacent to or partially overlaps with the territory of strong male leopards, which is conducive to improving the survival rate of leopard cubs.
Maybe there is a strong male leopard squatting on a large tree nearby, or in a dense bush or grass, ready to attack Xia Qing.
In addition to leopards, this female leopard may also call wolves. Because during the beast tide this spring, several leopards moved together with the western wolf pack, indicating that the leopards here are likely to be allies with the western wolf pack, and Xia Qing's relationship with the western wolf pack is very ordinary.
In order to show that she was not here to hunt leopards or compete with leopards for territory, Xia Qing put away her weapons, lowered her hands, and spoke very kindly and slowly to communicate with the adult female leopard, "I'm here to find plants, the one behind you."
Of course, she knew that the leopards didn't understand what she was saying, but the communication between animals is howling. Different species of animals use howling to communicate. What they say is not important, the key is the emotions in the howling.
"Ah————"
"Ah——"
"Ah——"
Three leopards, one big and two small, roared loudly. They may have seen that the human in front of them was not weak, so they didn't rush up.
"I'll leave right away," Xia Qing pointed at the female leopard's feet and took a small step forward, "I want to take my phone with me."
"Ah————"
The female leopard roared again, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, she gave the broken screen phone a claw again, and then protected the two cubs and took two steps back.
"Thank you, sister leopard."
It would be easy if they were willing to retreat. Xia Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and moved forward again, step by step to the phone. When she bent down to take the phone, she reached out to the big tree with vines wrapped around it.
The seemingly random action was actually designed by Xia Qing. She used all her strength and found the right position. As long as she touched the big tree, she could definitely "accidentally" peel off a piece of bark, a handful of vine leaves and a mistletoe.
She could take these samples back to report to her idol, and exchange some good medicine for the straightforward handsome giant wolf while her idol was in a good mood.
Just when Xia Qing was about to succeed, she suddenly heard a bad wind coming from behind. The beast lurking behind her attacked her while she was bending over!
Xia Qing picked up the phone with her left hand and drew her knife with her right hand to pretend to fight back, cutting off a piece of bark, a vine and two large clumps of mistletoe, while her eyes were fixed on the leopard that jumped out to attack her.
This is a male leopard. There is a very obvious black scar above its left eye, as long as a finger. It looks majestic and has the feeling of a gangster.
Xia Qing has seen this guy more than once when she was active in Hill No. 50 and Hill No. 52. However, Xia Qing and it had been competing with each other at a distance several times before, and this was the first time they had a conflict.
"Brother Leopard, we meet again. Your range of activities is really large."
Xia Qing paid attention to the female leopard moving behind her, while staring at the black-scarred leopard in front of her. While getting close to it, she did not forget to put the broken phone into her pocket with her left hand, and took out a packaging bag by the way. After shaking it open, it covered the precious sample that was cut, grabbed it together with the soil on the ground, and stuffed it into the side pocket of the backpack.
Just after collecting the samples, Xia Qing pretended to stand up, and the female leopard that had climbed up the tree really jumped down and took the opportunity to attack. At the same time, the black-scarred leopard on the opposite side also pounced over.
If bitten, even if the leopard's sharp teeth could not bite through Xia Qing's protective suit, the huge bite force and impact force might hurt her bones.
Xia Qing, who had been prepared, used her right fist to knock the female leopard that jumped down, and used her left hand to support the ground and her right leg as a whip to sweep the black-scarred leopard away.
The two leopards that were beaten and flew adjusted their postures in the air, and after landing steadily on all fours, they began to look at Xia Qing cautiously. Based on this reaction, Xia Qing concluded that although the two leopards did not reach the level of intelligence of brain-evolved animals, their IQs were definitely not low.
Xia Qing, whose goal had been achieved, began to slowly retreat, and once again expressed that she did not want to have a conflict.
Sure enough, the two leopards did not attack her, because Xia Qing had used 70% of her strength in the two moves just now, otherwise she would not be able to knock the leopards away.
After retreating to a safe distance, Xia Qing said goodbye to the two leopards in a friendly manner, "Brother Leopard, Sister Leopard, I didn't know this was your territory. Sorry for disturbing you. See you later."
There is a plant with an abnormal magnetic field of the Yi element here. If nothing unexpected happens, the idol will ask her to come over to take samples, so she said she will see you later.
Of course, she will definitely come over when the two leopards are not active nearby next time. How to find out?
She has a helicopter and her friend has a trained bird. It is not difficult to monitor the two leopards from the air.
Xia Qing retreated to the original place and waited for a few minutes. Xiao Jiang flew over in a helicopter, opened the hatch and lowered the rope ladder. Xia Qing looked down in the air and could no longer find the leopards with her eyes. They were very well hidden.
After taking off the protective mask, Xia Qing asked, "Brother Luo, can I use your phone to call Brother San? My phone is broken."
"Did you have a conflict with the leopard?" Luo Pei took out his phone and dialed Zhang San's number and handed it over.
"Well, I accidentally walked into the core territory of the leopard and was attacked by them." After the call was connected, Xia Qing immediately reported to his idol, "Brother San, this is Xia Qing. I have taken the sample and will send it to you after returning."
Zhang San responded, "Are you not injured?"
"No, don't worry."
After hanging up the phone and handing it back to Luo Pei, Xia Qing took the initiative to explain, "I found a kind of mistletoe I had never seen in the evolutionary forest below, so I called Brother San to ask, and Brother San asked me to dig it back and take a look."
Luo Pei nodded. There are all kinds of strange plants in the evolutionary forest. Zhang San is a pharmacy expert, so it is normal for him to ask Xia Qing to take samples.
Chen Cheng admired Xia Qing and gave her a thumbs up. Xia Qing was the only one in the Northern District who dared to contact Zhang San during his sleeping hours without worrying about being blacklisted by him.
After flying the helicopter for a few laps under Luo Pei's guidance, Xia Qing returned to his own territory, took out the SIM card from the broken phone, inserted it into the pink new phone of Broken Waist Wolf, and then rushed to Territory No. 7. (End of this chapter)
