After Turning Into A Little Skeleton, I Got Contracted By A Goddess-Chapter 216 - The Shadow Leopard’s Pursuit

Chapter 216: The Shadow Leopard’s Pursuit

“Yes. Generally speaking, these social groups will have a leader. Otherwise, how can a plate of loose sand survive in this world?”

Yan Wuyue was confused. “But we’ve already fought so hard. We’ve killed so many monkeys, but we didn’t see the monkey king. This is very unusual.”

Zhou Mingrui frowned as well. There must be something fishy about this. However, the two of them did not know much about the situation in the west. They only had a rough map stored in their watches as a reference.

Yan Wuyue had no choice but to say, “Forget it. We have too little information on hand. We can only take one step at a time.” ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣ｏ𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢

What they were most afraid of now was encountering any strange happenings. With Zhou Mingrui’s current strength, it would not be easy to deal with.

Hence, the two of them did not go after the fleeing monkeys. Instead, they headed in another direction.

“As expected, the experience is too little. ”

After the battle just now, even if his experience points were multiplied by five, his experience bar only increased by a little.

However, it was still a visible increase. At least, it would not remain stagnant.

“Get used to it first and see if the seal can be broken. Then, you’ll be able to go and kill stronger monsters.” Yan Wuyue explained her goal this time.

Just as the two of them were moving forward, a leaf in the depths of the forest suddenly moved.

“There’s a target!”

Yan Wuyue, who was extremely sensitive, immediately sensed that something was wrong and got into a fighting stance.

“A target?” As for Zhou Mingrui, he did not sense anything. He scanned his surroundings and asked in confusion, “I don’t feel anything wrong.”

“The other party has blocked a lot of things. If it wasn’t for the chain reaction caused by its actions, I might not even have noticed its existence.” Yan Wuyue said warily.

Zhou Mingrui didn’t know what was going on, but he was impressed. After all, if the enemy could make Yan Wuyue so nervous, it was definitely not an ordinary fellow.

Silently circulating the energy in his body, he was in a state where he could explode at any time, and a shield appeared in his hand.

After a while, Yan Wuyue made sure that nothing had happened. She said with a frown, “Let’s go. That guy is hiding.”

[What’s going on?] This time, Zhou Mingrui activated his mental voice transmission.

[It should be a monster similar to a shadow leopard. This type of monster usually appears in the west. They have extremely strong concealment abilities, strong explosive power, and extremely fast speed. If you’re not careful, it’s easy for you to be ambushed by them.] Yan Wuyue said.

[As expected of the west, which is led by speed and agility. To be able to give birth to such a monster, it’s not like those guys in the southern wasteland who are basically tank-type guys with thick skin.] Zhou Mingrui nodded.

[That’s right. The only weakness of monsters like shadow leopards is their extremely weak defense. This is because they need to ensure that their speed is fast enough. Their thick and hard fur is not suitable for this situation.] Yan Wuyue observed while walking.

[But I think they’re very smart, and they have high intelligence.] Zhou Mingrui was also searching for traces of the shadow leopard.

These feline-like monsters were as intelligent as the leopards, tigers, and lions in his previous life. They would have all sorts of tricks up their sleeves when they were hunting.

[This is why the western monster gathering place is one of the least popular places among the 5 big monster gathering places.] Yan Wuyue pushed aside a broken branch, but she suddenly stopped.

She looked at the soil and rotten leaves on the ground and continued, [Although the strengths and weaknesses of the monsters in the western colony are obvious and easy to deal with, the bad thing is that for some reason, these guys are smarter than the monsters of the same level in other colonies.]

[This has caused a lot of trouble for many hunters and the army to clear out.]

As Yan Wuyue spoke, she picked up a handful of soil from the ground and sniffed it.

[It seems like there’s more than one shadow leopard. There should be more than three of them. We may have entered their territory.] Yan Wuyue stood up and said with a frown.

[What level is this shadow leopard?] Zhou Mingrui asked.

[The lowest is level three, and the highest is level six.] Yan Wuyue answered.

[That’s still okay. Why don’t we just kill them?] Zhou Mingrui asked.

[A level three shadow leopard can kill monsters up to level four. I’ve seen a level five shadow leopard kill a level six high-rank monster.] Yan Wuyue shot a glance at Zhou Mingrui.

[It’s just like how humans can kill monsters that are stronger than them. They rely on their intelligence and methods.] Zhou Mingrui didn’t mind as he spoke directly.

[It seems like you can still understand. So, think about it. You should know that shadow leopards also hunt monsters from the west, and they are also fast and agile. Do you understand what I mean?]

As Yan Wuyue spoke, she took out a box from her space. After opening the box, there were glass bottles that looked like test tubes stored inside.

There were all kinds of powder-like objects in the glass bottles. Yan Wuyue took out a bottle of brown powder, opened the cap, and gently sprinkled a little on her finger.

[The leopard’s strength lies in that burst of speed. It will always follow you, but it will not attack you directly. Instead, it will constantly observe your every detail.]

[Once it has determined your weakness or habit, it will burst out its strongest attack when you are the most relaxed. This is the shadow leopard.]

She picked up a large piece of soil from the ground again and then rubbed the brown powder into the soil. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

Then, after kneading it for a few more minutes, she split the soil into two and handed one to Zhou Mingrui.

[What is this?] Zhou Mingrui asked curiously, [Is it something good that can avoid the monster’s nose?]

[What are you thinking?] Yan Wuyue looked at Zhou Mingrui as if he was a noob and said, [There’s no such thing. It can neutralize the special scent left behind by the shadow leopard.]

[What?] Zhou Mingrui was a little confused.

[Shadow leopards will be very far away from their targets, at least hundreds of meters away. The reason why they can continue to track their targets is that they have left “traps” on the ground.]

[As long as you step on these “traps”, you will have a special smell on your body. They will be able to smell it even if they are a few kilometers away and track you down.] Yan Wuyue explained.

[You want to get rid of their tracking?] Zhou Mingrui finally understood.

[I wouldn’t mind playing with them during normal times, but what we’re most afraid of is that the shadow leopard will suddenly seize the opportunity to attack us when we’re fighting other monsters.] Yan Wuyue stood up and continued walking.

[That’s true, but are you sure you can escape?] Zhou Mingrui continued asking.

[I can, but I’ll have to let them feel the pain first.] Yan Wuyue smiled and looked to her right.
