After Turning Into A Little Skeleton, I Got Contracted By A Goddess Novel - Chapter 225

225 Danger Approaching

However, the shadow leopards did not do as Zhou Mingrui wished. They seemed to be completely enraged by the death of the Shadow Leopard King. They began to dig three feet into the ground to search for Yan Wuyue and Zhou Mingrui.

Zhou Mingrui knew that if it weren’t for Yan Wuyue’s arrangements, the two of them would have been found long ago.

At this time, Yan Wuyue was in the process of recovery, and her current situation was also a period of weak combat effectiveness. If she encountered thousands of shadow leopards at this time, the outcome would be obvious.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Mingrui had no choice but to edit the message on his watch and choose a time to send it out.

!!
This was because Zhou Mingrui was afraid that if a fight really broke out, he wouldn’t have the chance to call for backup. That would be the most helpless thing he could do.

Just like that, Zhou Mingrui quickly typed out the message and pressed the button to send it on time.

If he really couldn’t handle it, the watch would send the information to the key person according to the time he set. This way, he would be able to get strong support.

However, Yan Wuyue had said before that unless it was the last resort, they should try not to ask for help from the base.

Because even though that could guarantee their own safety, they would lose their purpose in coming here.

Hence, Zhou Mingrui even retracted most of the spiritual energy he radiated, afraid that some of the shadow leopards would suddenly sense something amiss.

Hence, in this extremely tense situation, time passed by.

The shadow leopards’ search area had also been shrinking during this time. They were getting closer and closer to Zhou Mingrui and Yan Wuyue’s location.

At that moment, Zhou Mingrui was already on high alert because the shadow leopard closest to them was less than three hundred meters away.

The shadow leopards were very meticulous in their search. They kept using their claws to dig at the ground, and then used their noses to sniff at it. They were not willing to let go of even a single detail.

Furthermore, when the distance between them was about a hundred meters, Zhou Mingrui saw the newly-appointed Shadow Leopard King that was leading the entire tribe.

Hurry up and leave!

At this moment, Zhou Mingrui, who had no other choice, could only shout in his heart. At the same time, he wished that his strength could be restored as soon as possible and not be in this helpless situation.

A day had already passed, and shadow leopards had already begun to wander around the entrance of the cave they were at.

It had been a long time since Zhou Mingrui felt his heart beating so rapidly. He forcefully suppressed the palpitations in his heart, afraid that any activity here would attract the other party.

However, Yan Wuyue’s defense was very good. Even though hundreds of shadow leopards sniffed and searched the ground above them, they couldn’t find the entrance at all.

Zhou Mingrui was relieved to see this. But at that moment, the Shadow Leopard King, which had been observing the situation all this while, suddenly stopped and turned its head in a certain direction.

And this position happened to be where the two of them were.

The Shadow Leopard King jumped down the steps, and after a few jumps, it arrived at an empty area.

It looked at it carefully for a while and found no suspicious traces, but it still refused to leave. Instead, it kept walking back and forth as if it was observing something.

Zhou Mingrui’s heart was already in his throat. The newly-appointed Shadow Leopard King seemed to be very cunning.

Just like that, one party stayed in the cave while the Shadow Leopard King scanned the ground and sniffed at it.

Suddenly, the Shadow Leopard King’s mouth twitched, and it let out an angry roar. All the shadow leopards stopped what they were doing and began to surround the Shadow Leopard King.

Ten minutes later, the Shadow Leopard King was surrounded by a large number of shadow leopards.

When all the shadow leopards had gathered, there was no need for the new king to say anything. Everyone had already quieted down.

The Shadow Leopard King scanned its surroundings and immediately used its claws to slap the ground.

This action immediately frightened Zhou Mingrui. This was because they happened to be right below the Shadow Leopard King.

Zhou Mingrui heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the shadow leopards did not seem to have any intention of moving.

Then, after the Shadow Leopard King let out two long howls, all the shadow leopards suddenly began to growl in response, and gray-white energy began to emerge from their bodies.

It opened its mouth and bit the tail of another shadow leopard, and all the shadow leopards began to do the same.

In less than two minutes, all the energy had gathered on the six shadow leopards closest to the Shadow Leopard King.

Their bodies were also much larger than ordinary shadow leopards. It was obvious that they were the elite members of their tribe.

The energy gathered by the large group was on their bodies, and without any hesitation, they converted all the energy to the Shadow Leopard King.

The rest of the tribe immediately started to move away after completing their mission, as if they knew what the Shadow Leopard King was up to.

Another 10 minutes passed, and the six shadow leopards had finished transferring their energy. They also stood up and quickly retreated to a certain distance.

The Shadow Leopard King’s fur stood on end as it received a massive amount of energy. Tiny electric snakes crackled around its body.

After finally getting used to the explosive energy in its body, the Shadow Leopard King’s eyes began to flash with a powerful energy light. Then, a slit slowly appeared between its brows.

When all the shadow leopards saw this, they began to roar continuously, their voices reverberating in all directions.

All of this made Zhou Mingrui immediately stop whatever he was doing. He didn’t even dare to perform a spiritual scan.

The Shadow Leopard King opened its mouth, and as rays of energy gathered, a ball of light the size of a soccer ball had already appeared in its mouth.

Even without a spiritual scan, one could already see how terrifying the attack was from the terrifying energy fluctuations contained within the ball of light.

In the next instant, the Shadow Leopard King suddenly turned its head to the ground, and a blazing white beam of light shot out from its mouth.

The moment the light beam touched the ground, it hit the ground like a hot knife cutting through cheese.

[Oh no, it discovered us!] Zhou Mingrui’s expression changed. On the other hand, Yan Wuyue was still recovering.

The worst-case scenario had already happened, and the only way left was to fight.

Zhou Mingrui had already donned his energy armor. At the same time, the weapon in his hand rapidly condensed into a sledgehammer. He was ready to enter the battle at any moment.

At this moment, Yan Wuyue, who had been keeping her eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
