Destiny Rekindled

Chapter 21 Hunting the Shadow Leopard

"Hululu~"

After drinking the last mouthful of fish soup, Qin Chuan put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands.

Shuihua licked the fish soup in the bowl almost at the same time, then raised her head and looked at Qin Chuan.

"Next, we need to expand our territory." Qin Chuan said softly, "After searching the nearby area for a few days, there are no more resources that can help you continue to upgrade."

"In order to become stronger as quickly as possible, we need to find a new territory."

"You've lived in this area since you were born. What do you think?"

After hearing Qin Chuan's question, Shuihua showed a thoughtful look on her face.

After a moment, its eyes suddenly lit up, and then it showed a hesitant look.

"What's wrong?" Qin Chuan asked after noticing the abnormal splash of water.

"Woof woof woof..." (I do know that there are many fruits that can increase experience in one place, but...)
As Shuihua continued to speak, Qin Chuan showed an unexpected but reasonable expression.

The place that Shuihua mentioned is the territory where the Shadow Leopard is active, and it is also the place where the two of them first met.

According to Splash, it doesn't actually live in that area. The reason it ran there is because there are special fruits there that can increase its experience, and there are quite a lot of them.

As a result, he did not find the fruit, but met Qin Chuan. The man and the beast were chased by the Shadow Leopard, and the situation has developed to the current situation.

The reason why Splash hesitated was obviously because of the Shadow Leopard.

Even though it has reached Lv7 at this moment, there is still a big gap between it and the Lv12 growth-stage Shadow Leopard.

After listening to Shuihua's story, Qin Chuan looked thoughtful.

I believe Shadow Leopard will not be fooled by the method that Splash used last time, and they will definitely not be able to defeat Shadow Leopard by normal means.

His gaze finally fell on the time that stopped.

He had not wasted any stop time in the past eight days and had now accumulated nine seconds.

Stopping time for nine seconds should be more than enough to deal with a shadow leopard.

But this requires careful planning.

Qin Chuan had only used the time stop for one second before, and did nothing with it.

Strictly speaking, this would be his first time actually using stop time.

He needs to plan ahead to use the stop time more efficiently.

Qin Chuan picked up a wooden pen and wrote and drew on the wooden frame covered with fine sand.

About an hour later, he threw the wooden pen and said, "I have a solution!"

"Woof?" (What?)

Shuihua, who was waiting beside Qin Chuan and lying on the ground in a daze, quickly raised his head.

"The biggest feature of the Shadow Leopard is its speed." Qin Chuan said with some confidence, "We will use the Shadow Leopard's speed to solve the problem."

Shuihua tilted her head, a confused look on her face.

Obviously, it did not understand what Qin Chuan meant.

"That's it…"

Qin Chuan quickly stated his plan and gestured in the air with his hands.

As Shuihua listened, her eyes became brighter and brighter, and a look of enlightenment appeared on her face.

After explaining, Qin Chuan glanced at the time.

【03:53:29/08:00:00】【00:00:09】

"There are still four hours left. We have to hurry."

"Woof!" (Good!)
-
"Huh~ We're finally here."

Qin Chuan let out a sigh of relief and put down the secret weapon that he had spent nearly three hours making. At this moment, the surface of the secret weapon was covered with simply woven hemp sheets and green grass, almost blending in with the waist-high grass and trees around it.

"Woof!" (The shadow leopard's territory is ahead.)
Shuihua stared ahead with a solemn expression on her little face.

"After today, this territory will be ours." Qin Chuan grinned, looking a little arrogant.

He glanced at the time.

【07:58:18/08:00:07】【00:00:02】

Seven seconds is the minimum time Qin Chuan estimated would be required.

If seven seconds wasn't enough, he would keep adding one second at a time until he achieved his goal.

However, now is not the time to take action.

He didn't have the confidence to survive for 102 seconds in the hands of the Shadow Leopard.

【07:59:20/08:00:07】【00:00:02】

"Let's go." Qin Chuan shouted softly, leaving his secret weapon where it was, carrying a strange wooden board on his back, and rushed into the Shadow Leopard's territory with splashes of water.

Fifty meters…one hundred meters…two hundred meters!

【07:59:46/08:00:07】【00:00:02】

The moment he went two hundred meters deep, Qin Chuan saw a hint of black in his field of vision.

He immediately ran in another direction, shouting wildly, "Big black cat, come and catch me if you dare!"

"Roar!!!"

A startling roar came from behind, and the black color turned into a heart-pounding black light in a very short time, chasing towards Qin Chuan.

The shadow leopard recognized the man and the beast.

The memory of being teased by these two ants became clear, and in just a moment its hatred value reached its peak.

This time, it must kill these two guys!

The deep lines under his feet flashed, and each leap of the Shadow Leopard was a full ten meters away, and the distance between him and Qin Chuan was visibly shortened.

But Qin Chuan was not panicked at all.

When the shadow leopard was only about twenty meters away and could pounce on it with two or three leaps, Qin Chuan leaped up and landed along the slope hidden deep in the grass.

This was the same hillside where he had fallen and been unconscious for several hours.

At this moment, this hillside became the best place for him to face the Shadow Leopard!
After jumping onto the slope, the wooden board on Qin Chuan's back had reached his feet without him noticing, and had turned into a special skateboard. His speed was getting faster and faster, far exceeding the speed of running at full speed.

Driven by hatred, the shadow leopard behind him chased after him without hesitation.

Having lived here for a long time, it was naturally familiar with this slope, but the rugged and steep slope affected its running. In order not to lose its balance again, the Shadow Leopard had to slow down a bit.

The speed increased and decreased, and Qin Chuan, who could have been easily caught up, became out of reach in the eyes of the Shadow Leopard.

It stared at Qin Chuan's back with fierce eyes, waiting for the moment when he slid to the bottom of the slope and began to slow down.

It swore that if it caught this hateful guy, it would tear him to pieces!

This section of the hillside was not long, and before long, Qin Chuan had slid to the bottom.

Entering the flat ground, his sliding speed dropped sharply, while the speed of the shadow leopard behind him increased suddenly.

【07:59:58/08:00:07】【00:00:02】

Qin Chuan glanced at the time and had an idea in his mind.

Without hesitation, he jumped off the skateboard, whose speed had slowed down to almost the same as his full running speed, turned around and started running in the other direction.

The Shadow Leopard was caught off guard, but reacted quickly, turned around and chased after it.

【07:59:59/08:00:07】【00:00:02】

Qin Chuan could already feel the murderous aura coming from behind him, but at the same time, he also saw the inconspicuous secret weapon hidden in the grass and trees.

Looking at Qin Chuan who was so close, the Shadow Leopard let out a roar and pounced on him with all its strength.

【08:00:00/08:00:07】【00:00:02】

In the moment when everything around him was still, Qin Chuan quickly turned his head and looked at the shadow leopard that was almost pouncing on him, and took a breath.
