That feeling was truly exhilarating.
But later on, Yu Hui-fei thought it through. After all, he couldn't be at a disadvantage.
Therefore, he completely relaxed his body and let it be as comfortable as he wanted to do whatever he wanted!
Before the sky turned dark, they finally arrived at their destination, the Xiulin Meteorological Observatory located on Leopard Mountain!
The observatory wasn't big, just two big tiled houses. There was a small building behind them, and there was an astronomical telescope in the small building.
That was likely the legendary astronomical observatory. At the same time, there was a tarmac beside the astronomical observatory. An orange-yellow plane was parked there. It looked intact, as though it could still fly.
At the same time, everyone saw the bloodstains at the entrance of the yard. Everyone immediately stopped.
Yu Hui-fei glanced at the Howling Celestial Dog. It knew that it didn't have much time left and couldn't waste any more time. For the first time, it took the initiative to charge forward.
"Come back, be careful!" Tan Yuan shouted.
Yu Hui-fei said, "Don't worry, he'll be fine."
The Howling Celestial Dog rushed to the door and looked into the yard. Then, it barked!
Following that, they heard a low growl coming from the yard!
They saw a leopard with a small head, a long tail, and short limbs. Its fur was yellow and covered in black spots. The spots on its head were small and dense, while the spots on its back were denser and larger. The spots were round or oval shaped like plum blossoms, resembling ancient copper coins!
More importantly, this fellow was extremely big!
It was much bigger than the African leopards in the animal world!
When Yu Hui-fei saw the stripes and its size, he subconsciously said, "A leopard?!"
Tan Yuan shook her head. "To be precise, it's a Far East leopard."
The Far East leopard was also known as a leopard. Its size was second only to the Siberian tiger, and its combat strength was extremely powerful.
However, as humans plundered nature, it followed in the footsteps of the Siberian tiger and almost disappeared.
It was said that at its most endangered time, there were only about ten in all of China, and only a few dozen in the entire world.
In South Korea, the last Far East leopard in their country was destroyed six years ago …
Up to now, with the efforts of people all over the world, there were only about two hundred of them under artificial breeding.
There had never been more than a hundred in the wild, and they were always on the verge of extinction …
Who would have thought that they would meet such a rare big fellow here!
At the same time, everyone understood why the people at the weather station would ask for help. With such a thing guarding them, they had no guns, so they couldn't escape.
Leopards had never been seen in the entire Xingan Ridge. Now that this guy had appeared, it was most likely that its food source had been cut off by the sudden snowfall, so it chose to approach humans due to hunger and cold.
At this moment, Captain Song and the rest had arrived as well. When they saw the Far East Leopard, they were all shocked beyond words.
Yu Hui-fei said, "We can't kill this one, it's too rare …"
Captain Song and the others nodded. However, Captain Song did not hesitate. He took out his gun and fired at the sky!
A gunshot rang out. The leopard, which rarely came into contact with humans, was startled and looked at them vigilantly.
Captain Song aimed at the empty space in front of the leopard and fired a shot!
Snowflakes flew everywhere!
The leopard knew it was powerful. It turned around and jumped on the wall. Then it looked back at the crowd and disappeared.
Even so, no one dared to let down their guard. After all, this thing wasn't a tiger. It was rare to face it head-on, but it was more likely to launch sneak attacks from behind.
Furthermore, it knew how to climb trees, climb walls, and swim. Who knew if it would jump out from some corner to surprise everyone?
Therefore, no one dared to relax as they walked into the yard with 120% vigilance.
The Howling Celestial Dog led the way. This fellow's nose was very sharp …
When everyone saw him enter easily, they followed him into the yard.
The moment they entered the yard, everyone drew a cold gasp!
They saw the corpse of a domestic pig lying there. There was almost no meat on its body …
There were also the bones of five or six chickens …
The entire yard was covered in chicken feathers. Blood dyed the entire yard red, making it look extremely bloody.
Yu Hui-fei rarely came into contact with such a bloody scene, but with his previous training with wolves, he could still take it.
The others were much calmer …
Old Hu went forward to take a look and said, "This leopard can eat quite a lot."
At this moment, the door opened.
"You're finally here!"
The person who opened the door was a middle-aged Mediterranean man. However, it couldn't be said that he was a Mediterranean man because there were a few isolated islands in the middle of the sea.
He wore glasses and looked very friendly.
Behind him was a middle-aged woman. She looked very haggard, and both of them had emaciated faces.
Captain Song handed them a few chocolates. The two of them didn't stand on ceremony as they took it and ate it.
After closing the door, everyone sat down in the house.
Only then did Yu Hui-fei know that they were the two people he was looking for — Sun Daquan and Wu Xuemei.
After eating the chocolate, Sun Daquan said, "There's Fatso next door. Do you still have any food?
Give him some as well. "
At this moment, there was a commotion next door.
The few of them subconsciously stood up and raised their weapons warily.
Wu Xuemei said, "Don't worry. It should be Fatso!"
As they spoke, a person came out of the house.
Everyone was taken aback. Wasn't he next door?
Sun Daquan explained, "After we were trapped, we planned on taking Old Wu's plane to leave.
Therefore, we smashed open the wall … But the snowstorm is too strong. There's no way to fly. "
Fatso took the chocolate and stuffed it into his mouth. Then, he said in a muffled voice, "This snowstorm is too strong. This is the first time I've encountered something like this in my life.
This isn't ordinary snow. This is a f * * king storm!
Our small plane can't fly in such a storm … Therefore, we can only seek help. "
Everyone nodded.
Old Hu said, "It definitely can't fly. Even a military plane can't withstand such a storm, much less a small plane like yours."
Captain Song said, "It's getting dark. Don't think too much.
After eating and drinking our fill tonight, we will set off tomorrow. "
"We still have to wait another night?" Fatso asked in excitement.
Chen Sheng said, "Definitely. It's getting dark.
Once night falls, it will be pitch black. It's too dangerous. "
Captain Song looked solemnly at the panicking Fatso, as well as the frowning Sun Daquan and Wu Xuemei. "Don't worry. We have five hunting rifles.
That leopard won't dare come back. Even if it does, we can scare it away. "
Sun Daquan shook his head. "We aren't afraid of the leopard. After all, it's new."
"New?" Upon hearing this, Yu Hui-fei was alarmed.
Sun Daquan nodded. "Yes, the pigs outside weren't killed by the leopard."
"Then what is it?" Yu Hui-fei asked curiously.
Sun Daquan shook his head. "I don't know."
"You don't know?"
Everyone was stunned. This fellow had been trapped here for so long. How could he not know what was going on outside?
Sun Daquan said with a bitter smile, "I really don't know … I raised the pigs.
There was no movement at night. The next morning, the pigs were already dead … More than half of the meat had been eaten.
The chickens didn't even crow. They died silently … There wasn't even a wound on their bodies.
This is too strange. "
Wu Xuemei said, "Do you think it's a ghost?"
Yu Huifei said resolutely, "I won't!"
"How do you know it's not?"
Wu Xuemei was clearly unconvinced by the young Yu Hui-fei's resolute rebuttal.
Yu Hui-fei said, "There are no ghosts in this world."
He spoke with confidence because he had already asked Cui Jue. Cui Jue had said that there were no ghosts in this world.
Since a judge of Hell had said so, why wouldn't he believe it?
At this moment, Fatso chuckled. "Young man, you are still young and haven't seen many things.
There are many things in this world that can't be explained … Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. "
Yu Hui-fei didn't argue. He knew that unless he called Cui Jue and the others over, no one would believe him.
Captain Song said, "I don't know if there are ghosts or not, but when we go out, we all believe that the gods are watching. No matter what we do, we must have a clear conscience.
If there are no ghosts in our hearts, we won't be afraid of them … "
At this point, Captain Song said, "However, I don't think so when you say that there are ghosts outside."
Captain Song was indeed an experienced man. His words didn't offend anyone, and he refuted Fatso and the others' claims.
Old Hu was a straightforward person, so he said directly, "There are traces outside, but it doesn't look like a ghost.
If a ghost came, how could the ground be covered in claw marks?
If you ask me, it's that big cat who did it. That fellow can climb trees and walls. It's very easy for him to come in and eat.
By the way, you didn't dare go out because you were afraid of him, right? "
Upon hearing Old Hu's words, Fatso and the others also felt that it was possible.
After all, they had really not seen any other animals. They had only seen the leopard in its true form.
Sun Daquan said, "Perhaps … you're right.
However, to be honest, this leopard was scary enough.
It jumped two to three meters high, and that slap … Sigh … With just the few of us, we wouldn't be its match even if we had a few knives.
For safety's sake, we didn't dare go out.
It was mainly because we weren't sure if that fellow had left. "
Captain Song nodded and said, "You did the right thing. We can't use force against such things.
Besides, even if we had guns, it wouldn't be easy to deal with it. If it doesn't fight you head-on, guns are useless.
Besides, this is an endangered animal. It's best not to kill it if possible. "
Everyone nodded in agreement with Captain Song's words.
"Alright, everyone, don't worry.
Once you're full, go to sleep. We will lead the way tomorrow.
We have five guns. When the time comes, everyone can take care of each other. We won't be afraid of a sneak attack.
Furthermore, from today's situation, this leopard has never interacted with humans before.
This kind of animal is most afraid of loud noises.
Our gunshots are enough to shock it. "
Old Hu said, "Perhaps the leopard has already been frightened by us and ran far away. It doesn't dare return.
Everyone, don't think too much. Quickly get some rest.
From the looks of it, none of you have slept much, right? "
