n540 Hunter in the Shadow! (2)

nAt this moment, the Shadow Leopard in front also discovered that a two-legged beast was following behind it.

nThis increased its speed again. At the same time, it turned its head and glanced at Zhou Wenjie with its yellow eyes.

nThe moment he looked at the Shadow Leopard, Zhou Wenjie felt as if he was being targeted by a fatal threat.

nHe could not help but feel his scalp tingle.

nMoreover, its speed was also slightly affected.

nHe had almost lost it.

n“Damn!”

n“This thing can really f*cking run!”

nAfter cursing under his breath, Zhou Wenjie also increased his speed and followed closely.

nNot long after this man and leopard disappeared, a four-man mercenary team also arrived.

nOne of them was leading an especially big dog with a nose and sniffing the air in front of him.

nThen, it barked in the direction Zhou Wenjie and the Shadow Leopard had left in.

nSeeing this, the four mercenaries immediately followed.

n“Let’s go!”

n“Damn, I didn’t expect this dog to be so good at running! Moreover, it’s a dark-type beast. If not for the added ingredients in our meat,

n“I really can’t catch up.”

nThe mercenary in the lead could not help but curse.

n“Speaking of which, Brother Lei, didn’t we drug him? Why can we still run so far?”

n“F*ck! How would I know?! Perhaps that guy hasn’t eaten and has been running there!”

n“What’s the point? We even deliberately waited for a long time before catching up.”

nBrother Lei’s three companions were very puzzled.

nIn the past, when they used this method to capture those mutated beasts outside the city, they would capture them accurately.

nThere was even no need to hide or wait.

nAs long as they threw the meat out, those brainless beasts would immediately rush out and eat the added meat in front of them.

nThen… then he was directly thrown to the ground and sold to the colosseum in the city right on the heels of that.

nThis time, just in case, he deliberately increased the dosage.

nThat was the amount that could knock out five level five mutated beasts. In the end… How could it be useless?

nWhat these people did not know was that the Shadow Leopard was chased away by Zhou Wenjie before it could eat its “prey”.

n“Roar!”

nAfter being chased for nearly another kilometer, the Shadow Leopard, whose endurance had clearly decreased a lot, casually placed the “prey” in its mouth to the side. Then, it turned around and stared at Zhou Wenjie, who was chasing after it, with extremely cold eyes.

nThis two-legged beast was simply bullying the leopard!

nAt first, Zhou Wenjie did not notice that the Shadow Leopard had stopped.

nWhen he saw the Shadow Leopard’s actions clearly and was about to be on guard, he saw the Shadow Leopard that had just been in his line of sight instantly disappear.

nOnly a large piece of meat with teeth marks was left.

nSeeing this scene, Zhou Wenjie immediately perked up.

nHe did not think that this thing had abandoned its food and run away.

nIt was more likely that the other party treated him as one of the prey—after all, he was rushing to the other party’s door.

nMoreover, didn’t that “dark” attribute have such an ability?

nThinking of this, Zhou Wenjie did not dare to be careless. He immediately summoned the small ball of “gray fog” that had been floating beside him. Then, it quickly expanded and enveloped Zhou Wenjie.

nRight on the heels of that, Zhou Wenjie’s figure also disappeared from the spot.

nWhen the Shadow Leopard hidden in the shadows saw that the two-legged beast had actually disappeared into the air, it could not help but use its nose to probe the air.

nHowever, he found nothing.

nHe could only smell the meat he had brought back.

nIt was indeed fragrant!

nIt was comparable to the smell of the green oxes in the depths of the forest.

nHowever, it did not want to leave with that piece of meat in its mouth anymore.

nBefore the two-legged beast was dealt with, it did not plan to come out.

nThe vigilant Shadow Leopard would not think that the two-legged beast was only following him out of kindness.

nPerhaps he wanted to snatch his food?

nThen he would hide here and see if he could not help but come out and snatch that piece of meat.

nAs one of the top predators in the Beast Taming Forest, the Shadow Leopard was very patient.

nJust like that, it directly hid in the shadows.

nSimilarly, after Zhou Wenjie’s figure was removed by the Illusory Fog, he only moved his position slightly and did not move anymore.

nHe was afraid that he would be discovered by the Shadow Leopard even under such circumstances.

nTherefore, he had been staring at that piece of meat.

nZhou Wenjie felt that this Shadow Leopard would definitely not give up such a big piece of meat easily.

nIt was true that these beasts were very smart and had intelligence not inferior to humans.

nHowever, his knowledge was completely inferior to humans.

nHis behavioral logic was more focused on “beasts” than humans.

nJust like that, the two of them, who could both be “invisible”, were in a stalemate in this forest.

nAfter more than ten minutes, just as Zhou Wenjie began to wonder if the Shadow Leopard had really given up on that piece of meat, he suddenly heard some movement behind him.

nAt first, he thought that Wang Zhen, Iron Axe, and the others had arrived.

nHowever, after looking at his Beast Taming Index and discovering that the two of them were still a distance away from him, he immediately became vigilant.

nCould it be those people from Weizhou?

nHowever, although they had suggested acting together at that time, Wang Zhen did not agree in the end. At the very least, he did not agree immediately.

nTherefore, when the two teams entered the Beast Taming Forest, they walked in different directions.

nIn other words, these people…

nBefore Zhou Wenjie could continue guessing the identities of these people, he heard the conversation of the people behind him.

nYes, he did not know where these people got their courage from to dare to make so much noise in the Beast Taming Forest so brazenly.

nHad he really never died before?

nZhou Wenjie suddenly felt that after Hall Master Lin took in the Qiongqi as a beast, these mercenaries seemed to have lost their reverence ~

nThis was not good!

n“My beast said that it’s just ahead.”

n“Is that so? Then grab your weapon!”

n“Be careful. Don’t injure or kill him. This is very valuable!”

n“Ha, we’re all in the same line of work. Why are you saying this?”

nHearing the conversation of the four of them, Zhou Wenjie sized them up again. Looking at the various flying claws, net hooks, metal rope nets, and other equipment on them, he knew the identities of these people.

nMutated Beast Hunter.

nAlthough they were still mercenaries, these people’s missions were usually to capture mutated beasts to exchange for rewards or money.

nIt was not mainly about obtaining crystal cores or materials from mutated beasts.

nIt was also because of this that these mutated beast hunters did not have a good relationship with many mercenaries.

nAfter all, one wanted to kill him, while the other wanted to capture him alive.

nThey were naturally opposing ~

nTherefore, sometimes, a very strange scene would appear.

nWhen some mercenaries wanted to kill a relatively high-level mutated beast, they would be stopped by humans and the mutated beast would also be “protected”.

nThese people were mutated beast hunters.

nNow, in the Beast Taming World, it was more “coordinated” with the goal of the entire world.

nThey were all captured alive.

nOf course, this did not mean that Zhou Wenjie would agree with these guys.

n“Eh?”

n“Why was the meat thrown here?!”

n“Brother Lei”, who was holding the dog, was the first to see the lump of meat placed by the tree by the Shadow Leopard. He immediately ran over quickly.

nThe other three hurriedly followed.

n“It didn’t move?!”

n“It didn’t even eat a bite? There’s only a bite mark?!”

nLooking at the lump of meat in front of him, Brother Lei was stunned.

nAt the same time, when the Shadow Leopard, who had been hiding in the shadows, saw four more two-legged beasts arrive, its cold eyes revealed a trace of mockery.

nIndeed, these two-legged beasts were here for his meat!

nAfter revealing its fangs slightly, the Shadow Leopard that had been squatting for a long time moved.

nWhile the four of them were looking at the piece of meat, no one noticed that a very faint shadow had appeared beside the last person in the team.

nThen, a pitch-black leopard pounced on the neck of the last person like a hidden weapon—

nCrack ~

nA very crisp voice sounded.

nThe mercenary covered his throat with all his might, but it was still useless.

n“He ~ He ~”
