Chapter 18 Shadow Moon Leopard

After the interrogation.

Yu Ke's previous speculation was completely correct.

This poaching team broke into the Mirror Lake Forest to hunt the Shadow Moon Leopard.

The problem was that they underestimated the strength of this beast, and their own abilities were even more limited.

As a result, they failed to hunt and were attacked and killed by the Shadow Moon Leopard. They broke the leg of a newcomer and threw him on the spot before they barely escaped.

"How did you find the Shadow Moon Leopard?"

Yu Ke asked, holding the tip of the knife against the woman's neck and letting her stand up slowly.

The only task issued by the Forest Protection Bureau was to investigate the Shadow Moon Leopard, and Yu Ke was just lacking a way to lock its location.

"We use the urine of a modified male lion. Shadow Moon Leopards have a strong sense of territory. Once they sense the presence of foreign beasts, they will definitely come to check, and we set traps around the urine."

"Is there any urine left?"

"Yes, there is a small half bottle left, and there are still a lot of hunting equipment in the bag, all for you."

"Which poaching organization do you belong to?"

"."

The woman who had been asking questions before stopped talking and looked hesitant when she heard Yu Ke asking about her organization.

Yu Ke knew the reason.

The poacher organization in this world is different from that in the previous life.

Due to the advent of the Cataclysm, the hunter profession has been greatly developed, and the benefits are needless to say. This has led many underground organizations to set up poacher teams, using various insidious means to gain benefits, and also attacking other law-abiding hunting groups.

It was obvious that the guys who used distress signals to deceive forest rangers were from a poaching organization. Yu Ke was strong enough. If it were any other newcomer, he would have been killed by them.

The rules of this kind of poaching organization were cruel. If the organization's intelligence was discovered, the end would be extremely miserable.

This was the reason why the woman hesitated.

Yu Ke didn't waste any words. He deflected the short knife and slashed across her neck. Blood immediately flowed out of the wound.

If you don't tell me, you will die. This was Yu Ke's attitude.

"Nightmare, I only know the name. We got the task from this organization. This trip to hunt the Shadow Moon Leopard is a token of joining them. Only by bringing back the body of the Shadow Moon Leopard can we be recognized."

Nightmare?

Recalling the information he had read in the training of the Forest Defense Bureau, Yu Ke did not find any information about this poaching organization.

However, judging from the fact that they dared to take the hunting of Shadow Moon Leopard as a condition for joining the organization, their strength was obviously not weak.

"Take the body and follow me."

Yu Ke put his knife back into the sheath, turned around and picked up a body.

Considering that catching poachers is also the job of forest rangers, he can gain professional experience.

He needs the woman in front of him to be alive for the time being, and let the people from the Forestry Bureau come to escort her back to the transfer station for processing tomorrow.

Compared to dying here, the woman is obviously more willing to face the Forestry Bureau, and without saying a word, she picked up the body of her companion beside her.

To be able to become a poacher, this woman's physical fitness is naturally not as bad as it appears.

In order to prevent the woman from doing other things, Yu Ke deliberately let her walk in front, and he carried the body and backpack behind her.

Return to the place where the off-road vehicle stopped.

Yu Ke was thinking about whether to lock her in the hunting lodge or take her into the watchtower.

Just at this moment, a strong sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart.

The sense of danger from the heart of the wilderness!

Without any hesitation, Yu Ke threw away the corpse and backpack in his hand, and pulled out the Leviathan Axe.

Almost at the same time, there were screams and sounds of flesh and blood breaking in front of him.

Looking up, there was only the corpse of the male poacher in front of the off-road vehicle. His sight extended to the distance. When he saw the culprit who caused all this, Yu Ke's pupils suddenly shrank, and he raised his left hand to turn on the camera on his chest.

On the other side of the forest road, the beast was dormant!

The purple-black fur was as smooth as silk in the rain. The agile body of nearly two meters was still crouching on all fours. The ferocious leopard head stretched forward, the two triangular ears stood up, with a small tuft of long hair on the tip, the red pupils were full of murderous intent, and the fangs were holding the woman's neck in the mouth, and blood dripped down the canine teeth, which was chilling.

It was really a painstaking effort to find it.

Yu Ke thought it would take him a long time to find the Shadow Moon Leopard, but he didn't expect to meet it like this.

The poachers didn't get rid of the Shadow Moon Leopard at all. It was lurking nearby, looking for a chance to kill it with one strike.

The top predator outside the Mirror Lake Forest was powerful.

Yu Ke felt a chill on his back when he met the Shadow Moon Leopard on a narrow road.

The beast in front of him was much more powerful than the Shocked Horned Deer King or the giant python, even surpassing Yu Ke now.

Even if he was distracted or afraid for a moment, he might become its hunting target!

The consequences would be devastating!

The red and blue lights on the top of the off-road vehicle flashed alternately, passing through the drizzle.

The cold wind blew up the corners of the clothes of the male poacher's body on the ground, and the smell of blood spread.

Click~

The Shadow Moon Leopard bit off the prey's neck, used its front paws to pad her body, tore off her head, and threw her head away.

With its shoulders rising and falling, it stepped forward with its claws interlaced, locked its eyes on Yu Ke who was not far away, and let out a deterrent growl.

Yu Ke took a deep breath, took off his helmet, and stared back without showing any weakness.

He clenched the Leviathan Axe in his hand and walked forward.

He knew clearly that he must not show his cowardice at this time, let alone turn around and escape.

Trying to compete with the Shadow Moon Leopard in speed in the jungle is purely a suicidal act.

With his muscles tense, Yu Ke could even vaguely hear his own heartbeat because of his high concentration.

Strength surged in his limbs.

Since he knew that running away was meaningless, he had to make up his mind to fight to the death.

A man and a leopard were deadlocked in front of the car, with the distance between the two sides less than five meters.

Boom!

There was a muffled thunder in the sky.

Yu Ke, who was concentrating, was shocked as if he had received an electric shock. His brief loss of consciousness made him feel cold.

However, when his sight converged, he found that the Shadow Moon Leopard opposite him had disappeared into the dark jungle.

It seemed that Yu Ke was not the only one startled by the thunder.

"Hoo~Hoo~"

Holding the hood of the off-road vehicle, Yu Ke panted twice and felt that the clothes on his back were a little sticky.

It can only be said that he is worthy of being a top predator.

Even if there was no conflict, the confrontation just now still made Yu Ke feel the adrenaline surge when he was hovering between life and death for the first time in a long time, even more than the close combat with the mandrill.

In any case, the crisis was temporarily resolved. Yu Ke looked at the corpses on the ground and had to collect them all by himself.

After all, they were poachers, and they might be wanted criminals on the list. Catching them would not only bring experience but also rewards.

Wait until I go back and report to the Forestry Bureau, and let professionals come to deal with it.

After packing up everything and returning to the cab, Yu Ke started the car, his eyes still wandering in the surrounding dense forest.

He always felt that the Shadow Moon Leopard had not left.

As long as Yu Ke was still a forest ranger in this forest area, they would definitely meet again!
