In the dimly lit forest where light was exceptionally bleak and the trees dense, even the bright moonlight didn't prove much effective.

Yet, this did not hinder Qin Fang's tracking; only now did he realize that after absorbing the Golden Dragon Saliva, not only had his body been strengthened, but his five senses had also significantly enhanced.

Initially, his sense of smell was not particularly sensitive, but upon careful distinction now, he discovered that it was much stronger than before. That Leopard had a very distinctive scent, and although Qin Fang didn't pay much attention at first, he realized during the tracking that he could continuously smell it.

Comparing this to the slight traces left by Baozi while moving through the forest, Qin Fang suddenly became very confident in his sense of smell.

The dim light made visibility poor, but his sense of smell wasn't affected. He followed the trail, and the scent grew stronger.

"Soon, almost there…"

As the smell grew intense, it meant he was getting closer to the Leopard. Naturally, Qin Fang didn't notice how deep he had ventured into the forest.

Suddenly…

A white figure appeared in Qin Fang's view, lying about less than twenty meters away from him—it appeared to be a person.

This person was quite small, probably less than one meter tall, likely a child!

"Hmm? A child… Found him!"

Qin Fang was immediately overjoyed, quickly approaching while casting a Scouting Skill to first confirm if the child was still alive.

Of course, he remained vigilant, constantly cautious of his surroundings. Though he saw the figure of the child, he didn't notice the Leopard that had snatched the child, so Qin Fang remained guardedly wary of a possible sudden attack from the Leopard from some corner.

"Thank goodness… still alive!"

The Scouting Skill results quickly relayed back; the child wasn't dead but had sustained quite severe injuries, with several wounds from which the blood was slowly seeping. If not treated in time, the child would still die.

Luckily, Qin Fang discovered him in time; a moment later, and he might have only found a corpse.

Qin Fang quickly walked over to the child, flashed a Silver Needle, and immediately used Acupuncture to seal the child's Extraordinary Meridians, stopping the bleeding from the wounds and stabilizing the condition temporarily.

Though Qin Fang's acupuncture skills were formidable, he wasn't a real doctor. He could stabilize the injuries, but proper treatment still required a professional doctor, and besides, those wounds also needed bandaging.

The child was already unconscious, not aware of anything.

The surrounding forest was eerily quiet, terrifyingly so, as if an inexplicable threat was lurking, giving Qin Fang a chilling sensation.

He knew, that Leopard hadn't wandered far, and it might be hiding in some dark corner, possibly ready to pounce at any moment.

"Hmph, I hope you don't seek your own death…"

Qin Fang remained cautious, always alert; even while bending to lift the injured child, his eyes constantly surveyed the surroundings.

No movement!

Still no movement!

It was as if the Leopard didn't exist at all.

But Qin Fang knew clearly, the Leopard had come, and it was nearby—the scent he smelled was becoming more intense, and it couldn't be too far away.

However, the dim light, combined with the tree cover, made it very difficult for him, even with his good eyesight, to spot the possible hiding spots of the Leopard.

Qin Fang reached out to lift the child. Despite the danger from the Leopard, the child needed to be saved, and he needed to quickly get back to the tribe, or else his journey would have been for naught.

Whoosh~~

Just as Qin Fang had lifted the child and was about to turn and leave, suddenly a gust of foul wind arose, and the scent in Qin Fang's nostrils instantly intensified.

"It's here!"

Almost instantly, Qin Fang judged that the Leopard that snatched the child had appeared. Goosebumps immediately rose on his back—a strong premonition of danger.

Almost instinctively, Qin Fang's feet slightly misstepped, and his body swiftly stepped several strides to the side… just as a shadow with a whistling wind slid past him, evidently the Leopard had made its move.

Even being directly pounced to the ground by this leopard...

Although a leopard is not as strong as a tiger, it is still considered a large ferocious beast with a weight of several hundred pounds and very fast speed. Its explosive power is extremely strong, hardly any person can withstand its attack if pounced directly!

"Hmph... beast!"

Qin Fang moved swiftly, narrowly escaping the leopard's attack by a hair's breadth. His clothes were torn, and he could faintly feel the chill between his ribs—it was a very close call.

However, having escaped this sneak attack, the leopard could no longer hide and boldly appeared before Qin Fang.

One on one in combat, Qin Fang was truly not afraid of such a robust leopard.

It was a leopard, looking quite strong, probably in its prime with a healthy body and powerful limbs. Its fur patterned with rosettes added to its imposing aura.

A pair of pale blue eyes appeared eerily strange on such a night. Although not green like that of wild wolves, a few more glances gave one a creepy feeling.

Wuuu wuuu~~

The leopard stared directly at Qin Fang, making such a sound from its mouth. Its strong limbs slowly moved, seemingly looking for the best angle to attack or perhaps finding the right spot to bite...

Qin Fang was equally alert. He pulled out a simple rope from the Props Box, kept an eye on the leopard's movements while tying and securing the child to his front...

Once he finished these preparations, he relaxed a bit, his hand now wielding a black military spike.

To leave from here, he had to deal with the leopard first.

A face-to-face fight was the best approach. If Qin Fang were to run towards the tribe in a hurry, he couldn't match the leopard's burst of speed and power, not to mention a hidden leopard was the most dangerous. It's better to face it directly now.

This leopard was quite strong, and its level was not low—it had reached Level 5, comparable to the Golden Crested Snake Qin Fang had encountered before.

But in terms of lethality, the Golden Crested Snake was naturally more dangerous because it was massive and venomous. If caught, even if not eaten, one could die from the venom.

However, Qin Fang did not dare to underestimate this leopard; its speed was faster, and it was more agile with sharp claws and teeth, making it not an easy foe to deal with.

As for shooting it dead—

These are wildlife almost on the brink of extinction, and unless necessary, Qin Fang really did not want to be such an executioner, even though this leopard almost devoured the child...

"Beast, come on..."

Qin Fang snorted coldly, shifted his foot slightly, and lunged forward with the military spike in his hand.

He had killed the Grandmaster-level Expert Shangguan Tianling, so why would he fear a Level 5 wild beast?

Roar~~

Feeling threatened by Qin Fang, the leopard let out a deep roar, its legs suddenly exploded with power, and it quickly turned into a shadow, rushing towards Qin Fang.

Its sharp claws gleamed, as if indicating its strength.

Moving incredibly fast, completely surpassing human limits, it lunged at Qin Fang at an even greater speed. As it leapt, it also bared its sharp teeth and gradually revealed its gaping mouth…

"Hmph…"

Faced with such a threat, Qin Fang only snorted coldly.

If it were a sneak attack from the leopard, Qin Fang would indeed be quite apprehensive, but for such a frontal attack, no matter how fast it was, Qin Fang was fearless.

Suddenly, he paused, crouched down slightly, and his body leaned backward, completely appearing below the leopard.

At this moment, the leopard's speed reached its limit, its body soaring mid-air. Seeing Qin Fang's sudden move, it hesitated slightly, its simple brain apparently struggling to cope.

Qin Fang was below, and the leopard above, nullifying all attacks from the leopard in an instant. The only useful claws it waved and moved, but it couldn't touch Qin Fang at all...

However, Qin Fang clearly wouldn't just dodge; he needed to counter-attack, a very strong counter-attack!

Qin Fang successfully evaded the four powerful claws of the leopard, and the leopard completely flew over him.

But then, Qin Fang's body which had been leaning backward suddenly straightened like a spring, and his hand holding the military spike suddenly disappeared. His hands, white as jade, suddenly stretched out, quickly grabbing the leopard's two hind legs...

"Ah-ha..."

Accompanied by Qin Fang's roar, his whole body's True Qi surged, his arms seemed to be infused with boundless strength, forcibly dragging the weight of hundreds of pounds massive leopard back, then suddenly bursting forth.

One could see the leopard, like a pathetic bug, was pulled back forcefully by Qin Fang, its massive body turned into a giant sandbag, powerfully smashing towards the ground… (To be continued.
