Chapter 489 Stealing Kittens
If Liu Jingxue used her light body skills and traveled at full speed, her speed would be beyond doubt.
At this time, there were still some villagers who did not go to work in the mountains, and there were also children who searched the mountains every day. In order not to scare them, Liu Jingxue cast invisibility on herself before entering the mountains.
Relying on the fact that others couldn't see her, Liu Jingxue went all out, using the light body techniques she'd learned in her cultivation to rush towards the depths at full speed.
It took Zheng Pengcheng more than an hour to reach the place, but Liu Jingxue arrived in less than 20 minutes at full speed.
Not daring to get too close to Zheng Pengcheng, Liu Jingxue followed him a hundred meters behind, using her spiritual sense to monitor his every move.
Knowing that many animals rely on their sense of smell to detect prey, Liu Jingxue used magic to seal the area several meters around herself to ensure that her scent would not spread out and attract animals.
In her consciousness, Zheng Pengcheng was walking forward cautiously with a machete in one hand and an axe in the other.
Liu Jingxue discovered that Zheng Pengcheng had smeared a lot of plant juice on his body. Liu Jingxue knew that the purpose of these juices was to cover up his smell and confuse animals.
“It seems that this person has also been trained on how to survive in the jungle.
No wonder he was able to return unscathed these days."
"But what on earth does this guy want to do by stealing those two people's clothes and coming here?"
After following Zheng Pengcheng for a while, Liu Jingxue discovered that this man was moving forward with a purpose, not just randomly.
Although we kept circling left and right to avoid animals along the way, the direction we were heading was very clear.
Liu Jingxue, who was in invisible state, sealed off the smell around her body so that she would not be as troublesome as him and always took the shortest straight line.
Even if she passed in front of the animals, she was absolutely sure that the animals would not be able to detect her at all.
Following Zheng Pengcheng, it took him an hour and a half to finally reach the destination of this trip. He stopped at a small cave with obvious signs of human intervention and went in.
After getting in, he hid the entrance, leaving some gaps so that he could observe the situation outside the cave and allow air to circulate.
After scanning everything in the cave with her spiritual sense, Liu Jingxue understood that this person must have stayed in this cave a lot in recent days, otherwise he would not be so skilled.
But what is the purpose of this person coming here? It is impossible that he has nothing to do because he has nothing to eat.
Liu Jingxue's spiritual consciousness spread out with this place as the center.
This place is deep in the mountains and forests, sparsely populated, and can be considered an animal paradise. Liu Jingxue's spiritual sense saw many animals, including some large beasts.
What is strange is that there are relatively few animals in the area chosen by Zheng Pengcheng, as if all the animals have unanimously avoided this area.
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Liu Jingxue remembered the novel she had read, which said that animals have a sense of territory. A more powerful animal will put its own scent around its territory and mark it to remind others not to invade its territory.
There are few animals in this area. It seems that there is a more powerful animal nearby.
Liu Jingxue's spiritual sense carefully explored the area where she was, and sure enough, she found two figures, one big and one small, in a cave about one kilometer away from Zheng Pengcheng.
Looking at the big cat with the Chinese character "王" on its forehead, Liu Jingxue couldn't help but smack her lips, "Zheng Pengcheng is so bold that he actually dares to hide near the tiger's den.
Looking at him, it seems that since he has been coming here for the past few days, he is not afraid of sending himself into the tiger's mouth.
Or maybe this person doesn’t even know there are big cats around here.”
Looking at Zheng Pengcheng who was constantly rubbing the plants he had collected along the way, obtaining the juice to smear on his body, or sprinkling it in the cave to cover up his own smell, Liu Jingxue felt that this man was most likely aware that there were big cats nearby, otherwise he would not have taken these actions.
After everything was ready, Zheng Pengcheng took out some dry food from his arms, opened the kettle, and wolfed down the food and water in one gulp.
Seeing Zheng Pengcheng eating and drinking there, Liu Jingxue felt hungry too. She had worked for a whole morning and followed this man all the way, and she had no time to eat lunch yet.
But she was unwilling to put herself in a difficult position and ate dry food. She estimated that Zheng Pengcheng would not leave for a while, so she asked Tuanzi to monitor the surrounding situation and then she slipped into the space to have a late lunch.
After eating and drinking, and taking a short rest, Liu Jingxue used the invisibility technique and left the space.
When her spiritual sense spread out, Liu Jingxue saw that Zheng Pengcheng was still resting in the cave, while in the tiger's den, the big cat had already left the cave and was patrolling around its own cave, leaving only a tiger cub sleeping soundly in the cave.
After the big cat slowly patrolled around the cave and confirmed that the surroundings were safe, it sped up and left the vicinity of the cave, running wildly in one direction.
Liu Jingxue's spiritual sense discovered that in the direction where the big cat was running, after running in that direction for a while, there were many animals moving around there.
I don’t know whether the big cat ran in that direction by coincidence or on purpose.
After the big cat ran for a while, perhaps out of excitement or something else, it suddenly opened its mouth and roared like a tiger. Liu Jingxue personally experienced what it felt like to hear a tiger roar in the mountains.
Zheng Pengcheng, who was resting there, immediately opened his eyes, pricked up his ears and carefully identified the direction from which the tiger's roar came.
"Based on the direction of the sound, the big one seems to have left the cave, leaving only the small one inside.
I don't have much time left, so I have to speed up. "
He picked up a plant beside him and rubbed it again, then smeared a lot of juice on himself again. Then, Zheng Pengcheng observed outside through the gap for a while, carefully removed the cover of the cave entrance, and walked outside.
While walking, he observed the movements around him and listened to the movements coming from another direction. When he heard the tiger's roar again and confirmed that the big cat had left the cave, Zheng Pengcheng quickened his pace.
After arriving near the tiger's den, even though it had been confirmed that the big cat had left the cave, Zheng Pengcheng did not rush into the cave. Instead, he surveyed the surroundings to find the latest traces left by the big cat and confirmed that the big cat was heading outward.
Zheng Pengcheng opened his backpack, took out a stolen piece of clothing and covered his head, leaving only his eyes exposed. Then he took out a pair of gloves and put them on his hands.
After making all the preparations, Zheng Pengcheng carefully entered the cave with a machete in one hand and an axe in the other.
After entering the cave and seeing the kitten sleeping soundly, Zheng Pengcheng immediately took out two pieces of clothes from his backpack and wrapped the kitten.
After being treated rudely, the kitten woke up and cried twice, but Zheng Pengcheng tied its mouth with a straw rope that he had prepared earlier, so it could no longer make any sound.
After tying up the kitten and stuffing it into the package he was carrying, Zheng Pengcheng lifted up his trouser leg, took out a dagger, cut a strip of cloth from the last piece of clothing he had stolen, threw it into the tiger's den, and then ran out with the kitten on his back.
"After observing for the past few days, I found that the big cats take about two hours to forage for food, and I only have more than an hour, so I have to speed up.
I hope I won’t encounter other animals along the way and won’t have to take too many detours and waste my time.”
Zheng Pengcheng smiled, "After we get down the mountain, kill the tiger cub and throw it into Zhou Mingxuan's yard. The big tiger that comes later will probably tear the two of us to pieces."
"It's also my fault that I was too stupid before. I always wanted to lead people up the mountain and make trouble there, but I didn't think that if I changed my way of thinking, things would be much easier."
