Hidden Mountain Demon

Chapter 2 Outliers
The stars move, the sun and the moon alternate, when the rumbling thunder comes from the sky.

The stream thaws, the snakes wake up, and everything comes back to life.

The waking of insects arrives, and spring comes.

It has been about a year and a half since he came to this world, and in the reflection of the mountain stream, he has also become an extremely strong black male leopard.

Although it was far from being as strong and ferocious as those adult leopards, the white fangs, sharp claws, limbs, and strong muscles on the body all showed that he had already entered the ranks of beasts.

The wild jungle world is cruel and bloody. Even the mightiest beasts still have to be vigilant and face the battles and dangers that will come from nowhere at all times.

For a year and a half, he fought against jackals, tigers and leopards, the wind and snow, and hunger, running day and night in the wild mountains and forests.

He even felt that he was used to this bloody and wild life, and everything in his previous life seemed to have been deeply hidden in the unknown in his mind.

He is still insisting on looking for herbs and smoking Yuehua.

It is not easy to find aged herbs. In a year and a half, while hunting, he only found six or seven plants of angelica, astragalus, and licorice.

And at the very beginning, he didn't dare to get too far away from the female leopard, and it wasn't until the last few months that he began to expand the search area.

However, taking Yuehua for a long time, not only made him feel the aura in his body become stronger, but also made him eat more and his body became stronger.

Now he is about four feet tall, and what makes him most gratified is that as the aura grows, his head gradually becomes clearer, and he can gradually think about problems like in his previous life.

He also thought about letting the mother leopard and another cub eat Yuehua, after all, they are the mother and sister of this life.He still remembered the saying that a meal must be repaid, which was regarded as a standard in his previous life, not to mention the present life's upbringing.

But after trying several times, he found helplessly that although he could have a simple communication, no matter how he explained it, the mother leopard and the cub still didn't understand.

What's the point of lying on the rocks and basking in the moon at night? Is the so-called cultivation more important than hunting and predation?

Although every time after basking in the moon, it seems that the whole body feels quite comfortable, but thinking about the warm cave, after a few nights of cold wind, the mother leopard went back to the cave with another cub in its mouth.

He can only rely on his own predestined relationship, and he can't force it, so let it go.

In early summer, the sun was warm and the female leopards entered the estrus period again.

When a strong male leopard appeared near the cave, the mother leopard began to drive the cubs out of her territory. The dark yellow eyes of the male leopard also showed strong murderous intent towards the two cubs.

He knew that it was time for him to leave, and his own wandering life in the wilderness began.

"Ah - woo",
With a long roar, on a morning after the rain, the dawn was just opening and the breeze was blowing.

He stepped into a world of his own.

After a year and a half of hard work, from the words of various birds and beasts, he also learned that he is living in an extremely vast mountain range called Da Cang Mountain.

The mountains stretch for hundreds of miles, with towering ancient trees and numerous birds and beasts.

Going down the mountain and walking for dozens of miles, there is also a creature with colorful fur that looks like an ape, and at the same time, a huge square city is built to live in it.

He wanted to ask more details, but all kinds of birds and beasts scattered away in a hurry when they saw a leopard approaching him.

Reluctantly, after many times of eavesdropping, he finally confirmed that this was the news he had heard about human beings in this world, but that was all.

The tall city walls let him know that this is definitely not his previous world.

Then, once I appear in the current human world, I am afraid that with my fur, I will truly experience the pain of skinning.

Now he needs to use his minions to carve out a piece of land that belongs to him, and then practice and grow honestly. In the future, he can only wait until he is stronger and successful in practice. At the very least, You have to wait until you are an adult.

Following the trend of the mountains, he ran towards the southeast. After a day and night, the scenery on both sides gradually became strange.

He also slowly slowed down his speed and raised his vigilance. With his current body and strength, some powerful beasts would still cause him great threats and troubles.

After running for more than 300 miles day and night, when a round of red sun was about to fall into the top of the west mountain and filled half of the sky with red clouds, he felt that he was almost there.

He was about to step forward, looking for a high ground to observe the surrounding environment.

"Quack, Leopard, where are you from?"

An abrupt voice came from behind.The words entered the leopard's ears, and the leopard turned around hastily, but met a small bird similar to a crow on the tree behind him.

Leopard's eyes were full of surprise.

There is a faint blue light on the pitch-black feathers, bright red beak, ruby-like clear eyes, and slightly raised head with a sense of arrogance—this is the first impression of this little bird.

What surprised Leopard the most was what he heard.

Since he was born, except for the limited communication between the mother beast and another cub, other birds and beasts all avoided him when they saw him, and this was the first one to talk to him.

The little bird watched the leopard staring at him stupidly, and flapped its wings: "Quack, silly leopard, bird talk, understand?"

"Understand, understand",
The leopard reacted quickly, and remembered the previous question, "Come from the northwest, it's a long way."

It really can't be said that the leopard's language ability is poor. The language vocabulary of these birds and beasts is really pitiful.After studying it for a year and a half, I can barely explain what I mean.

The little bird turned its head as if thinking about how far it was, then shook its head, probably unable to figure it out, and asked, "What are you doing so far away?"

"Find a cave to live in, sleep, practice"

"Cultivation, what is it?"

"Uh, bask in the moon and get strong,"

"Quack quack quack quack quack quack quack", the little bird standing on the branch began to laugh, which sounded very ear-piercing, "quack quack quack quack", the laughter became louder and louder, the leaves around were shaking, and the whole body moved forward. I leaned back and felt like I was about to fall from the tree.

He laughed more and more presumptuously.The leopard was very helpless, being ridiculed by a bird, it was unreasonable.

I had no choice but to bared my teeth at the other party and roared: "Crow, don't laugh,"

"Quack - cough cough"

The little bird's laughter stopped abruptly, but it was not afraid, and flapped its two wings.

"Crow, quack, silly leopard is blind, I'm a red-billed crow."

"That's still a crow."

"Crow, crow, your family, crow, I have a name, I'm Chizui"

The little bird's red eyes almost popped out.The two red claws jumped up and down on the branches, really jumping in anger.

"A crow is a bird, and you are also a bird; a crow is black, but you are also black; you are not a crow, whoever is a crow."

Leopard felt that it was necessary to tease him, but the most important thing was that he hadn't talked to other creatures for a long time.

"You..." "Quack quack..." The bird's feet jumped higher.

"Anyway, I'm not a crow."

Apparently he has a lot of respect for not being a crow.

The leopard had nothing to do at first, so he squatted on the ground and watched the little bird jump.

The little bird stopped jumping after seeing this posture, and turned its two small eyes: "I have a name, my name is Chizui, what's the silly leopard's name?"

Leopard couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this. What about a name? Ever since he came to this world, he really hasn't thought about giving himself a name.

The previous life has passed, and the name let it sink into the water quietly, I don't want to think about it again, and it feels weird to take it now.

Seeing the leopard squatting silently, "Quack quack, the silly leopard has no name, quack quack, the silly leopard has no name."

The little bird started flapping its wings again, circling the tree trunk, madly.

Leopard is very speechless, as for what?I think your red mouth is also a name.

He looked down at himself, and then at the vast forest around him. He really had to give himself a name. To be laughed at by a bird was really too embarrassing for a leopard.After thinking about it in my heart.

The leopard raised its head and called itself like the little bird: "My name is Ban Cang, Ban Cang from Da Cang Mountain."

The little bird ignored him, "Quack quack quack quack" bouncing up and down the tree, obviously not hearing it.

"Stop making noise—! I have a name, and my name is Ban Cang," the leopard roared, holding back his breath.

The little bird finally calmed down, and when it heard the roar of the leopard, it immediately lowered its head, and the name was taller than its own.He pecked at the tree trunk next to him bitterly, and his eyes rolled around.

The leopard also felt that it was almost funny, grinned, and said with a self-conscious expression, "Brother Chizui, I am new here and I am not familiar with the woods. Help me find a cave to live in."

"No matter, no matter, find yourself, find yourself."

When the little bird heard it, he left and shook his head like a rattle.

The leopard was bored, watching the sun go down, the night was shrouded, the mountain forest was very quiet, and the mountains were unfamiliar, so they didn't know the territory of the wild beasts in the forest. Looking around, there was a tall ancient dragon two or three feet to the east. tree, so he walked over slowly, intending to spend the night together.

"There are tigers in Dongshan, very fierce, very fierce, don't go there."

The noisy little bird said again angrily.

Leopard looked back, feeling warm in his heart. "Thank you, Brother Chizui."

When I arrived under the old tree, I jumped up after two or three jumps, found a thick branch, squatted down towards the rising moon in the east, and raised my head to get ready to suck the moonlight.

On the tree not far away, the little bird watched the leopard's strange behavior, blinked its eyes, curled up and lay on the tree branch, turned its head to look at the leopard, wondering what it was thinking.

Silent all night.
