628. Bloody Christmas (31) (End of Volume 1)(1/2)
The sea water quickly retreated from his ankles, and came back again after a while, but each time the waves hit him, they were getting further and further away from his position.
Dong Qiangqiang slowly backed away, as if waiting for the opponent to attack.
The leopard was getting closer and closer to him, and he could even see its teeth clearly.
It would be nice if there was still whiskey, he thought to himself.
But the strange thing is that as the distance gets closer and closer, the leopard seems to become hesitant. It paces back and forth on the beach, looking extremely impatient. However, the majestic leopard is looking up to the sky and howling at this time, as if it is not satisfied with the cowardice of its companions.
Very dissatisfied.
Dong Qiangqiang deliberately took a few steps forward until Leopard's eyes lit up again.
"Come here!" Dong Qiangqiang teased the leopard with his fingers, "Pounce on me!"
The leopard was finally angered by Dong Qiangqiang's ignorance and contempt. It roared and jumped over on the water.
This was what Dong Qiangqiang was waiting for. Not only did he not dodge, but he moved towards its forelimbs, and at the same time deliberately exposed his good half of the shoulder for the opponent to bite.
The leopard was very puzzled by his strange behavior, so he had to go down the slope and pounce on his shoulder.
Soon enough, the moment the opponent's front paws touched Dong Qiangqiang's shoulder, Dong Qiangqiang suddenly opened his arms, hugged the leopard's neck and tightened it tightly. Before it could react, he had already fallen to the ground.
, holding the leopard in his arms and rolling quickly towards the sea.
The leopard had never encountered such a weird attack before, and it took him two seconds to recover. It tried hard to bite Dong Qiangqiang's shoulder and arm, but during the rolling process, its bite was not accurate.
Just when Dong Qiangqiang felt that he could no longer hold on, he felt a wave of waves gently lift him up from his armpits, and then a strong current dragged him and the leopard to the bottom of the sea.
He closed his eyes and held his breath suddenly, feeling that countless small stones were slapped on his face in an instant, and sand poured into his nostrils, which was extremely painful.
But he didn't let go of the arm holding the leopard's neck, but tightened it even more.
Leopard is not a believer in men and women, and neither is Dong Qiangqiang.
Stay calm! Hold your breath! Follow the current! He silently recited in his mind the method of encountering rip currents taught by his teacher when he was learning to swim, and floated and sank with the current.
The leopard's struggle became weaker and weaker, and finally it gave up resistance and floated limply on the water.
Dong Qiangqiang put his two scarred arms on a piece of ice closest to him, panted heavily, and looked back towards the shore.
The majestic leopard was still standing on the shore, watching him from a distance, with no intention of leaving.
The sea water was very cold, and it was even colder lying on the ice floe. Dong Qiangqiang could not stay in the sea all the time, so he had to carefully swim back to the shore and land far away from the majestic leopard.
When he came ashore and took a look, the majestic leopard there was gone.
But when he turned around again, the majestic leopard was already staring at him silently on the rocks not far from him.
Dong Qiangqiang gritted his teeth (the sea water was really too cold), and planned to repeat his old trick, but the majestic leopard seemed to be much smarter than the other two, and he remained unmoved no matter how tempted Dong Qiangqiang was.
But if Dong Qiangqiang wants to retreat, it will follow him step by step, following him like a shadow.
Only then did Dong Qiangqiang realize that the leopard was using the two leopards in front of him to consume its own physical strength and test its own combat effectiveness. Once it discovered its own weakness, it would pursue it relentlessly.
But now he was so tired that he had no strength at all. He hadn't eaten anything since last night, and there were no fish in the ring of rocks. He couldn't help but regret that if he had known this, he might as well have dragged the leopard back to the shore.
He grilled it and ate it, but now even if he was willing to endure the cold water and swim back, the leopard would have drifted away long ago.
He retrieved the dagger in the snow, and made three fires into one big one. While warming himself, he kept an eye out for the majestic leopard.
But the majestic leopard was very calm. It just observed Dong Qiangqiang but did not come close, as if it was waiting for something.
Just when Dong Qiangqiang's clothes were about to dry, a long howl of "Wow" sounded from the top of the cliff.
The majestic leopard's ears stood up with a "snap", and its lying posture changed to a standing posture.
Damn it, this grandson is here to help. Dong Qiangqiang's heart sank, maybe it was the sick man who left just now. He thought that the injured leopard was driven away by the majestic leopard, but it turned out that the other party went to call for reinforcements.
Dong Qiangqiang was very irritable. The more he was afraid of something, the more likely it would come. If a few more leopards really came, he would definitely leave them here. Of course he could retreat to the cave and guard, but that would really have no way out.
No, we have to fight quickly. When the other party's help arrives, he will be completely out of luck. Dong Qiangqiang thought, and stood up unsteadily with a torch and a dagger.
Hearing the movement on his side, the majestic leopard turned its head warily. Seeing Dong Qiangqiang's offensive posture, he immediately bared his teeth and roared, as if to warn Dong Qiangqiang not to act rashly.
Dong Qiangqiang was so hungry that his heart was pressed against his back. He really had no strength. He picked a few leaves and stuffed some pieces of snow into his mouth and started chewing.
The leopard looked surprised.
"Come on!" Dong Qiangqiang struck the fire stick with his dagger, causing sparks to fly everywhere. "Let's see who has the final say between us?"
The leopard jumped off the reef and stared intently at Dong Qiangqiang's footsteps. His whole back arched and his expression became more ferocious.
The distance between the man and the leopard was getting closer and closer, and Dong Qiangqiang saw that the leopard's claws were sharp and sharp.
"The equipment is really good!" Dong Qiangqiang boasted while taking the S-shaped route, "But my knife is not a vegetarian..."
Before he could continue, he saw the bushes nearby shaking, and the injured leopard indeed left and returned.
This time, Dong Qiangqiang finally realized the fear of death. But he did not intend to sit still and wait for death. He put on a fearful face again and retreated towards the entrance of the cave.
Let’s go into the cave first, he thought.
But the majestic leopard understood his thoughts and stopped behind him with a twist of his body.
There is no way out.
Dong Qiangqiang sighed softly. It seemed that this time he was really going to fight to the death! But he also knew very well that the so-called fight to the death was just his wishful thinking. When two leopards attacked at the same time, he had no chance of winning.
.
Where else could I run? On the cliff? In the sea? Dong Qiangqiang's mind was spinning rapidly. These options seemed to be dead ends. He still had to find a way to get into the hole.
But it is not as good as God. Dong Qiangqiang's "fight and go" strategy was defeated in the first round against the two leopards. The leopards made him lose his torch and dagger without any effort, and even forced him to the rock.
beside.
Dong Qiangqiang looked up at the cliff. He guessed that he really couldn't climb up, so he reluctantly picked up a stone at his feet. That's it, everything is over, he thought to himself.
The wounded leopard took a few steps back, leaving Dong Qiangqiang to the majestic leopard.
Dong Qiangqiang's stubbornness burst out from the bottom of his heart. Even if it died, I would smash its head. This was his final determination.
The majestic leopard jumped up without wasting any more time. Dong Qiangqiang used his left hand to block in front of him and waved the stone in his hand. However, the majestic leopard was obviously more patient and flexible than him. His stone was connected with the leopard fur.
Haven't encountered any.
Just when Dong Qiangqiang wanted to escape, his foot stepped on a piece of moss, his center of gravity tilted, and he fell into the snow.
The majestic leopard immediately jumped up and lowered its head to bite. Dong Qiangqiang felt a sharp pain in his arm. He let out a heart-rending scream that he had never heard before, and mechanically hit him with stones crazily.
Leopard's head.
In a daze, he felt a vibration coming from the ground. Before he could understand it, he heard another scream.
Could it be that my soul has begun to leave my body? Dong Qiangqiang wondered, why can I still feel pain?
Before he finished asking the question, he felt his eyes flashing, and the majestic leopard suddenly relaxed and disappeared from his eyes.
Why did the leopards stop? Don't they eat people? No, the man I pulled back from the sea was eaten by them? Are there any rituals before they eat people?
His face was covered with blood, and he struggled to sit up on the rock next to him. He saw a huge blurry black shadow entangled with the leopard.
He tried hard to see clearly what the black shadow was, but the blood on his forehead was flowing more and more, blocking his sight, and he couldn't wipe it away no matter how hard he wiped it away.
He wiped it with the remaining cloth on his sleeve, and finally saw clearly that what was fighting with the leopard was an adult brown bear.
In the blur, he heard a series of whining sounds and saw the leopard limping towards the dense forest. The victorious brown bear looked up to the sky and roared, causing the snow on the nearby leaves to fall.
Dong Qiangqiang secretly sighed, he had just come out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's mouth. He couldn't even defeat a leopard, let alone a bear.
The brown bear swayed its huge body and walked slowly towards Dong Qiangqiang. The fear in Dong Qiangqiang's heart had already passed the extreme, and now he didn't know how to be afraid.
Following the rich smell of blood on Dong Qiangqiang's body, the brown bear finally walked up to him, lowered its head and sniffed the top of his head, and suddenly opened its huge mouth.
Dong Qiangqiang could clearly smell the stench from the brown bear's mouth. Many childhood scenes flashed through his mind like a movie. He remembered many things he thought he had forgotten. "So my life is like this," he said
He smiled bitterly at the brown bear and said, "You shouldn't eat me. I'm a good person and there are still many things waiting for me to do."
The brown bear looked Dong Qiangqiang up and down for a long time with its small marble-like eyes, then suddenly growled, blew its nose again, and sprayed Dong Qiangqiang's face with snot, then turned around and left with satisfaction.
The back of the brown bear gradually overlapped in Dong Qiangqiang's eyes. Am I already dead? He asked himself softly, but before he could study it carefully, his whole body fell heavily on the snow.
He only remembered that the last image he saw before closing his eyes was a blurry black shadow next to the brown bear, and then there was endless darkness.
When Dong Qiangqiang woke up again, he saw a big crab jumping from his head to the gravel next to him and walking away.
There was silence in the forest. The black shadow disappeared and the majestic leopard disappeared. Everything that happened in the morning seemed to be just an illusory dream.
Just as he stumbled to his feet, he suddenly saw a leopard lying on the gravel beach not far away.
His heart was suddenly startled, and he quickly picked up the stones at his feet, only to find that the leopard was motionless. He boldly walked over, only to find that the leopard had already died, and there was still half a blood on the leopard's back.
Palm print.
Relieved, he sat slumped on the beach, letting the cold sea water soak his clothes and pants, and just stared blankly at the red sun that had just appeared on the blue sky.
His stomach made a rumbling protest, reminding him that he had to get something to eat as soon as possible. Dong Qiangqiang stood up helplessly, preparing to catch a few crabs to bake, but found that several fish had entered the ring of stones at some point, and one of them was not big enough.
Not small, which made him feel very happy.
The rising flames jumped up again. Dong Qiangqiang packed up the fish rack and put it on the fire, and started catching crabs again. He had already planned that if the search and rescue team really couldn't come for a while, he would roast the leopard and eat it. At the same time, he started to catch crabs.
Start building your own temporary nest on the island. After all, there are leopards and bears here. Night will come soon, and no one knows what will happen again.
