Chapter 8 I Found You
The mountains are densely forested. Before the zoo was contracted, there were many broad-leaved forests on the mountain.

With the advancement of the rewilding project, the garden has made other arrangements in the original forest.

Simply keeping ferocious beasts in cages and letting tourists take a quick tour cannot meet their needs. The concept of expanding the park and growing together is the current general trend.

In big cities, many zoos contract a large area, and then sightseeing vehicles take tourists from the entrance to the exit, showing tourists the most authentic appearance of animals in the forest.

Due to the lack of funds, the Mushi Zoo was powerless, that is, the arrival of the fat tiger brought a dawn to the park.

The site containing two mountains is not only the site of the rewilding project, but also a paradise for other ferocious beasts to survive in the future.

When the fat tiger is successfully rewilded, the park will move other beasts into the park one by one based on the collected data.

But these are not about Lu Yao's business. After entering the dense forest in the mountains, his speed slowed down.

A drone "buzzed" overhead, and soon disappeared into the sky.

"I think you should see what happens to wild boars."

Glancing at the drone, Lu Yao lowered his head again, observing a gravel wasteland not far ahead.

Huge boulders protrude from the ground, outlining an undulating mountain landscape.

Behind a boulder, the dense tree canopy blocks the sunlight, and there is no other movement except for the mottled spots on the ground.

"The wild boar is dead?"

Lu Yao felt a little heavy in his heart.

According to preliminary judgment, this unknown creature may also be one of some kind of beasts.

There are not no creatures that can hunt wild boars, but there are very few.

In the zoo, only leopards, brown bears, lions and other beasts can be won.

For other ferocious beasts such as wolves and cheetahs, it is not easy to kill wild boars.

But the problem is, if it really is a beast of guesswork, there's no way drones won't detect it.

He raised his head and glanced at his surroundings.

The forest is tall and the grass is dense, which cuts off most prying eyes.

And those tourists sat obediently in the carriage, waiting for his appearance.

"Ow!"

At this moment, there was another wail from the dense forest not far away.

Then the woods shook, and a wild boar weighing more than 100 catties suddenly rushed out of the woods.

The wild boar seemed to be terrified, its trotters splashed a piece of mud in the gravel wasteland, and rushed directly towards the position where Lu Yao was crouching.

Lu Yao glanced at the wild boar. The mane was messy, and there were bite marks on the base of the hind legs, which made the center of gravity a little unstable when running.

At this time, as long as Lu Yao got up violently, the wild boar would definitely be thrown to the ground.

But this time the target is not it.

Lu Yao was still silently lurking among the weeds, letting the wild boar pass by.

When the wild boar was about to rush within 5 meters of his lurking position, it seemed to have found Lu Yao hidden in the grass, and let out another mournful howl, and turned its body slightly to one side, at an angle.

Lu Yao glanced in surprise, he thought this wild boar would rush towards him directly.

"The reaction is not slow."

Glancing at the wild boar going away, Lu Yao felt a little more at ease at this moment.

It is good news that the unknown creature failed to directly kill the wild boar.

This shows that it does not have the ability to kill wild boars instantly, so the possibility of big cats is directly ruled out.

According to the habits of cats, if this wild boar is caught, the chance of escape is very small, and even if it escapes, there will always be claw marks left on its body.

Not on this wild boar.

Except for the wounds on the hind legs and the messy mane on the body, Lu Yao didn't see any traces left by the feline beasts.

"Leg marks, unkempt mane, and... poor hunting ability."

Lu Yao stared closely at the direction where the wild boar appeared, and he had a rough guess about the unknown creature in his heart.

If as expected, it should be a snake?

Ordinary snakes can't cause harm to wild boars, so is it a bigger python or anaconda?

Anaconda can be ruled out directly.

There are many animals in the zoo, not everything, at least, there is absolutely no anaconda with terrifying lethality.

Thinking of this, Lu Yao moved his body and walked deep into the dense forest.

The location was easy to find, following the traces left by the wild boars when they fled, he quickly discovered the original hunting location.

Under a dense pine needle tree, the weeds were messy, and the fresh soil was scattered everywhere.

This should be the movement caused by the wild boar struggling.

Lu Yao didn't lean too far, and stopped at a distance of 20 meters.

He first checked the surrounding environment vigilantly, and after confirming that there was no danger here, he turned his gaze to the front.

The tree in the forest is the focus of attention. Not surprisingly, pythons like to hang from the tree to attack.

breathe.
After entering the hunting state, Lu Yao immediately adjusted his breathing to minimize the noise he caused.

However, this does not work for a python.

Snake hunting uses snake letters to test the air. If there is a prey, the warm blood in the prey will generate infrared radiation and be captured by snake letters, which is commonly known as thermal imaging reaction.

The reference source of thermal imaging equipment currently used by humans is snakes.

But for Lu Yao, this is the preparation before the battle.

"call out"

At this moment, a piercing sound suddenly hit from the front.

Lu Yao had already made preparations. Although some accidents did not attack from the tree, he also responded instantly.

The huge size did not affect his agility in the slightest, and he dodged the sneak attack with just a slight tilt of his body.

"Huh? Where's the snake?"

While evading, Lu Yao launched a counterattack at the same time.

He twisted his body, jumped in the air, and was about to pounce on the hunter, but this time, he made a mistake and missed.

There is nothing around.

Lu Yao was a little dazed.

With the reaction of a snake, especially a creature like a python, it is absolutely impossible to surpass him in flexibility.

He is a tiger, a top beast with a base attribute of 9, but he can't catch a snake?

"No, that's not a snake!"

Soon, Lu Yao calmed down.

If it is a snake, it will definitely be caught by the position and image when it attacks.

But after recalling it in his mind for a while, except for the sound of breaking through the air, and an extremely fast gray shadow directly in front of him, Lu Yao did not find any trace of the snake.

The snake attacked him and dodged the counterattack. Lu Yao could understand it, but he dodged the counterattack and hid himself so that he couldn't even see the target of the attack. This is absolutely impossible.

Any movement in the forest could not escape the tiger's hearing. The sound of breaking through the air did attract most of his attention, but Lu Yao found that there was no movement in the forest except for the sound of breaking through the air from unknown creatures.

In other words, the extremely fast gray shadow is the means of attack, it didn't move at all, it was always there.

Got you!
