Chapter 71 The attack of the little devil
"Shashasha~"
There was a sound of shaking leaves, and Chen Xi immediately shined the light on it.
The bushes in front of him kept swaying. He held his breath nervously and raised the wooden stick in his hand - a thick branch he picked up. His body was slightly bent, preparing for a surprise attack.
I don’t know whether it was the influence of the flashlight’s light or the creature in front heard the sound, but the bushes suddenly stopped shaking, and the surrounding area fell into an eerie silence. Only the chirping of insects echoed in the air.
Chen Xi did not dare to let down his guard and held the wooden stick tightly in his hand.
"Hoola!" Suddenly, a small furry thing came out of the bushes. It stretched its head and stared at Chen Xi curiously, its eyes glowing yellow.
"What the hell is this?"
Chen Xi looked at the strange creature in front of him, and his doubts became stronger. He began to search for memories about this creature in his mind. .
The shape of this creature is quite distinctive. It has a round body, like a big bag.
The color of the body is dark brown, the fur is shiny, and its limbs are short and thick, able to support its heavy body.
The head is relatively small, and the small ears stand erect nervously, seeming to be listening to everything around it.
“It seems to be Herbivore!”
The animal in front of me seems to be a wombat, a plant-eating animal that looks somewhat similar to a bear cub.
They are mainly distributed in the east of Tuao and are good at digging holes to hide.
The wombat's most distinctive feature is its large pouch, located on its abdomen.
The skin of the pocket is very thick to protect the cub inside, and the mouth has tough muscles to help it control the opening and closing of the pocket.
"Fuck, why did you come out to scare people if you didn't hide in a hole to sleep in the middle of the night?" Chen Xi glanced at the wombat angrily, wondering why it appeared at this time.
The wombat seemed silly and kept staring at him, but that soon changed. The wombat trembled all over and ran away quickly.
However, Chen Xi did not relax his vigilance. He felt something was wrong, not just because of the wombat's behavior, but also because he felt something approaching.
"Fuck"
Chen Xi immediately moved the flashlight light to the side and saw a black animal staring at him.
"Chi~"
The animal opened its mouth at him and let out a cry, its sharp teeth exposed to the air.
This jet-black animal is somewhat similar to a wombat, but has completely different habits.
Chen Xi recognized it as a Tasmanian devil. It was short, fat and stocky, with a big head and short tail, big ears, small eyes, four short legs, and a thick and long tail.
The hair is black and there are tentacles on the face and top of the head.
The upper and lower jaws are covered with sharp teeth that can crush bones.
The main food is meat, even snakes are eaten.
It likes to go out at night and sleep in tree holes or wombat holes during the day. It is known as the little devil.
A black shadow rushed toward him instantly, and the Tasmanian Devil decided to attack first.
“Bang!”
Chen Xi raised the wooden stick in his hand and aimed a hard blow at the attacking Tasmanian devil.
The wooden stick hits the target accurately like a home run and knocks it away hard.
The Tasmanian Devil did not faint after being knocked away. Instead, it twisted on the ground like crazy, then immediately stood up and attacked him again.
The wooden stick in Chen Xi's hand swung rapidly in the air, knocking the Tasmanian devil to the ground several times. Although it did not cause fatal damage to it, it obviously made the other party afraid to attack easily again.
The Tasmanian Devil stood in front of him, roaring continuously. The two sides began to confront each other, but neither chose to continue taking action.
“Chi~”
“Chi~” At this time, two more strange screams came from all around.
Chen Xi understood that it was his companion who had arrived.
At this time, the best strategy is to choose Thirty-Six Strategies.
"Grandma Li, you still dare to shake people?"
"You are so cruel!"
Chen Xi knows that he is unbeatable. This is not a fight with others. If there were two more, he could knock them down.
But wild animals face life-or-death struggles every day, especially predators.
If you fight against them, you are likely to be injured. If you are bitten and accidentally become infected, your life will be in danger.
He is not Wu Song, who can easily defeat tigers.
“Bang!”
I don’t know if it was excited by the arrival of its companions, but the original Tasmanian devil immediately launched a series of attacks on Chen Xi.
Chen Xi took a deep breath, swung the stick with all his strength, and successfully knocked the Tasmanian devil away.
He immediately seized the opportunity and ran away quickly.
The Tasmanian devil rolled on the ground and made a hoarse cry, obviously injured. However, it did not give up. It struggled to stand up with all its strength and chased Chen Xi again.
Chen Xi's breathing became rapid. He knew that he could not be caught up by these Tasmanian devils. He glanced back and saw the Tasmanian devils approaching him quickly, so he quickly quickened his pace.
He ran for a long time, with the Tasmanian devil always following him. Every time he looked back, he could see the Tasmanian devil charging at him with its claws and fangs bared.
"I just beat you a few times, is that enough?" Chen Xi cursed in his mind as he ran.
Don’t most of these Tasmanian devils live in Tasmania?
Why is it here? It’s so damnable. How can this thing run so fast?
The surroundings were filled with thick fog, and his vision was blurred. Coupled with his fast running movements, he would hit some small branches from time to time.
Fortunately, the clothes on my body played a certain protective role, but my face and hands were still inevitably scratched with small wounds.
At this moment, he knew very well that he didn't care about these insignificant wounds and just wanted to escape from this dangerous area as soon as possible.
Chen Xi sprinted quickly, and after a few steps, a dense bush suddenly appeared in front of him.
He tried to brake, but it was too late and he plunged into the trees.
In an instant, he felt bad. His feet suddenly became empty and his body leaned forward uncontrollably.
This was a small slope. Soon, he fell heavily to the ground and slid down.
There were many branches below. He bumped and bumped all the way, and even the flashlight fell to the ground.
Chen Xi ignored the pain in his body and struggled to stand up from the ground.
The scraping of leaves behind him and the cry of the Tasmanian devil were getting closer and closer. He held his breath and moved slowly around.
At this time, at the foot of the slope not far away, Shen Xinyi was too nervous to breathe. She covered her mouth tightly with both hands and stared straight at the place where the noise had just occurred.
The flashlight on the ground gave off a faint light, and it was obvious that someone was coming.
She wanted to shout loudly, but the screams of the beasts around her forced her to shut her mouth. If she spoke now, the situation might get worse.
Shen Xinyi couldn't see clearly who the person was, and she didn't know whether the person was dead or alive. After falling from the top, the person stopped moving.
There was mist all around, and no one could be seen at all. The flashlight on the ground was lying there alone, and no one picked it up.
The hope she had originally brought vanished in an instant, filling her heart with unspeakable bitterness.
She could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that the visitor was still alive and had just fainted temporarily.
