Global Lord: A Resource Satellite From The Start Novel - Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Raid

After Su Chen burned down the stronghold on the mountain, he set off on the return journey. The journey back became slower as the horses could no longer be used.

In the middle of the night, they finally found a suitable place to set up camp. Everyone was tired and quickly fell asleep, except Su Chen who sensed that there was something wrong with the journey from the start. He sat by the fire alone. “I hope there won’t be any danger.” He added two more pieces of firewood to the fire. Then, he looked at the burning flames in a daze.

Gradually, Su Chen’s eyelids started to twitch, wanting to fall asleep. Suddenly, he immediately woke up. In the wilderness, he did not dare to fall asleep so easily, so he got up, stretched his body, and looked around. He caught sight of something and was instantly stunned. As he rested his gaze on a particular spot, a chill went up his spine.

Opposite him, a pair of bright eyes appeared in the dark forest. It was like a ghost in the dark night, exceptionally frightening.

“That’s…” With such eyes that had vertical pupils, it was needless to say that the owner of these eyes was definitely a beast and a carnivore.

Coming here, it seemed that it had only one goal, and that was to use them as food. Thinking of this, cold sweat immediately broke out on Su Chen’s forehead. His legs also trembled slightly.

He looked at Yousi and the others who were still sleeping soundly and shouted a few times. However, it seemed that they were too tired from the events of the day and no one got up.

Immediately, Su Chen grew anxious. He hurriedly walked to the side to wake them up. However, just as he squatted down and swayed a few times, he felt a gust of chilly wind whistling behind him. He had made a mistake. He should not have turned his back to the wild carnivore. This would make carnivores, especially cats, think that this was the best time to attack.

Just as he squatted down, he had a bad feeling. He did not have the time to wake Yousi up before he suddenly pounced to the side. In the next moment, a huge figure rushed out from behind him.

With the fire, he saw the creature clearly. At that moment, a slender leopard with four long claws and sharp teeth in its mouth indicated that it was a predator from the forest.

After rolling on the ground, Su Chen quickly got up and stared at the leopard.

At the same time, he kicked Yousi. “Danger!” Yousi and Lotte, who had just fallen asleep, woke up after being kicked by Su Chen.

Immediately, Yousi jumped up from the ground like a rabbit. He grabbed a branch from the side and stared at the leopard.

“Su Chen! What is this thing?!” Yousi said with a trembling voice.

“I just caught sight of it. It’s obviously coming for us,” Su Chen said.

“Yousi and Lotte, please, help restrain this thing. Otherwise, we’ll all die here.”

Su Chen felt that this leopard was different from any wild beast he had encountered before. It gave Su Chen an unprecedented sense of danger.

“Let’s fight it out,” Yousi said sternly. “This fellow won’t let us off anyway. When it pounces on us, we’ll attack together.”

“Okay.”

At this moment, Lotte, whose mind was blank, also nodded at Yousi.

Roar!

Another roar was heard. The leopard circled around the fire twice and stared at the humans in front of it. It could not help it anymore. Looking at Su Chen, Yousi, Lotte’s expressions, the leopard knew that it had to fight for a while before it could eat delicious food. After sizing them up and driven by its hunger, the leopard finally could not hold it in any longer.

Roar!

After a roar, the leopard charged straight at Su Chen. This gave Su Chen a fright. He threw the wooden stick in his hand at the leopard.

However, how could this kind of attack do anything to a man-eating beast? Hence, when Su Chen tried to launch another attack, the leopard could clearly see it. After which, it turned its body to dodge.

In the next moment, the sharp claws cut across Su Chen’s body before it threw Su Chen to the ground. Then, it lunged straight for Su Chen’s throat.

Crack.

However, Su Chen extended his hand and used his sword to block the leopard in front of him. Immediately, the sword blocked the leopard’s throat.

Roar!

After being blocked by Su Chen, the leopard used all its strength trying to bite him. One roar after another continuously sounded in front of Su Chen.

After which, waves of bloody aura pounced from the leopard’s mouth. Those two finger-like canine teeth swayed in front of Su Chen and could pierce into Su Chen’s throat at any moment.

‘Damn it,’ Su Chen quietly cursed, feeling the strength of the leopard on his body. Both of his arms continuously trembled as he blocked the leopard’s downward pouncing strength.

Su Chen had used all of his strength to deal with a ferocious beast by himself. To Su Chen, at this moment, it was as though he was pushing against a small car that was on top of him.

Both of his arms trembled as he continuously resisted the pressure from the leopard. Su Chen also clenched his teeth and said to Yousi, “Hurry up, I can’t hold on much longer.”.

“Alright.” As Su Chen shouted, Yousi also picked up the sword in his hand and slashed it at the leopard with all his strength.

“Die!” Yousi also let out a loud roar as though he had gone mad. In an instant, he slashed the leopard’s neck.

Bang!

A muffled sound was immediately heard. One could even hear the faint sound of bones breaking.

After this attack, Yousi also roared as he repeatedly slashed the leopard’s neck with all his might.

The leopard could not take it anymore. The attack from behind actually caused it to feel a little muffled and its mouth was unable to reach the human beneath it. Hence, it turned around and escaped from Su Chen, charging toward Yousi instead.

Bang.

This sudden turn caused Yousi to be caught off guard. The leopard swept its tail and Yousi was sent flying.

Roar! Following another roar, the leopard leaped and pounced on Yousi. “Ha.” At this moment, after the leopard left, Su Chen ignored the pain in his arm and the injuries on his body. He suddenly jumped up from the ground. When the leopard leaped up, Su Chen rushed toward the leopard.

“Die!”

The sword in his hand immediately pierced into the leopard’s body from the side, and large pool of blood splattered out..
