Qu Jianlei was particularly attentive to the man sitting in the back seat; he couldn’t figure out what that seemingly simple palm strike was all about. Moreover, this man’s physical strength was extraordinary; he single-handedly tossed the several hundred-kilogram Snow Concealment Leopard’s carcass onto the snowmobile’s cargo bed. He must be someone from the martial arts world! Qu Jianlei took a deep breath. "What a coincidence." The man who delivered the palm strike had just landed when he seemed to notice their prying eyes. From several kilometers away, he cast a cold glance over. Qu Jianlei was better off, only feeling a vague sense of pressure. But Flower Scorpion was not so lucky; her body went limp instantly. "What the... What is this?" Under normal circumstances, if someone had snatched the prey they had been watching all night, there would definitely be consequences! At the beginning of the hunt, Qu Jianlei would give way, but later he realized it wasn’t right, so if he needed to snatch, he would. However, at this moment, how could Qu Jianlei dare to act up? He could only watch as the snowmobile roared away. They finally relaxed a little, and then Cindy managed to squeeze half her head forward. She asked in confusion, "What happened?" Finally able to rest comfortably, they were woken up in the middle of the night, stayed up all night, and then faced unexpected events again. Qu Jianlei and Flower Scorpion both retreated into the cave and recounted what had just happened. "It’s terrifying," Flower Scorpion concluded, "We have no idea who that was." Cindy heard that they had waited in vain all night, her face showing obvious disappointment. But immediately, her spirits lifted again. "Was there any emblem on their snowmobile?" Qu Jianlei and Flower Scorpion exchanged a look, feeling really helpless. From that far away, who could see an emblem? "I guess they are the ultimate warriors from the General Settlement," Cindy’s spirit was lifted. "That palm strike must be ’Eternal Night Ice,’ beyond the scope of technology. I don’t know the specifics, either." Her late husband was in charge of the City Guard before, so she knew some things others didn’t. "Ultimate warriors?" Qu Jianlei frowned. "Are they Modified Warriors?" He never forgot the "poison" he ingested back then, which was the Genetic Transformation Potion. "Probably modified," Cindy nodded. "I don’t know the details either, but... that’s something we absolutely can’t resist." Qu Jianlei was silent for a long time before exhaling softly, "Let’s rest a bit more." The experience of this night left a deep impression on him, a feeling he remembered vividly many years later. In fact, later, Flower Scorpion couldn’t help but secretly ask him, "Is it inconvenient to contact?" It was clear she suspected there was some connection between Black Heaven and the opposing party. Faced with such a question, Qu Jianlei was silent for a while before reluctantly replying, "Can’t beat them." "Indeed," Flower Scorpion nodded empathetically. Lacking in skills, how could one feel secure? Not all of a kind can coexist; the probability of becoming mortal enemies isn’t low. When daylight broke, Qu Jianlei and the others gathered their energy and continued to hunt for the Snow Concealment Leopard. They hadn’t slept well all night, but after such an encounter, who could feel like sleeping? Snow Concealment Leopards have a range of activity, so with these three wandering around, there’s no need to search nearby anymore. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by noᴠelfire.net So they headed in one direction, traveling for two days before they began searching for Snow Concealment Leopards again. Fortunately, this time their luck improved, and a day later, they found four Snow Concealment Leopards. It was a family, two adults with two young ones, and the little ones clearly born in summer, looking adorably clumsy. Qu Jianlei and Flower Scorpion each took on one adult leopard. Flower Scorpion could only guarantee a single shot, so she targeted the mother leopard, hoping it would protect its young. However, unfortunately, the mother leopard was extremely fierce. After taking a shot, ignoring its cubs, it charged straight at Flower Scorpion. Qu Jianlei, on the other hand, fired three consecutive shots, completely crippling the speed of the father leopard—it couldn’t escape even if it wanted. Cindy, clutching a machine gun, helped Flower Scorpion slow down the mother leopard’s movements. It was the first time the three worked together, and they were fairly coordinated. When the mother leopard charged over, Qu Jianlei had already drawn his Long Blade, heading straight at it. "Second Brother, kill that father leopard, I’ll take care of this mother leopard." Three days ago, he would never have taken such a risk, fighting an A-level Mutant Beast up close alone. But the events of that night indeed spurred him on—as if others could handle Mutant Beasts that way, was he that much worse? It turned out, he was a bit lacking. The mother leopard, its head hit by a bullet and badly wounded, exerted incredible combat power in order to protect its two cubs. Chapter 90 Dodging a Bullet (Second update celebrating Gold’s fan club 6/10) Qu Jianlei tangled with the mother leopard for about twenty minutes. Although he inflicted three major wounds on it, he also got injured in many places, with his left arm nearly torn off. In the end, it was Flower Scorpion who found an opening and took two shots, finally killing the mother leopard. The father leopard was already riddled with wounds, and the two cubs were also killed. In the Wasteland, there is actually a saying against killing young ones, but Snow Concealment Leopards are the exception. Show mercy to a Fierce Beast, and you’ll be facing a beast tide. The two little ones were quite alert, noticing their parents were in trouble, their first reaction was to turn and flee. Maybe they didn’t plan to run too far, but finding a place to hide was a must. But unfortunately for them, they were noticed by Xue’Er, who, seeing them flee, let out an urgent cry.
