Mount Emei was the prettiest mountain in the world.
As an international 5A tourist attraction with a double heritage of world culture and nature, it received more than three million tourists a year.
Therefore, Chen Xi really did not expect that he would find a monster at the Enlightened Realm at the foot of Mount Emei.
This monster seemed to have found the way to refine the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, so it chose such a place with the richest spiritual Qi to cultivate silently.
After all, the Mountain Man was an immortal.
Monsters cultivated immortality, and in the endless heavens, they first cultivated the human path and then became immortal.
Human beings were the head of all things, and they were born like a flawless piece of white paper. Naturally, it was easier for them to ascend the heavenly path than other things.
However, humans were complicated. Some fell in love and never got out; some killed and harmed others to create karma; some refused to follow their hearts and sink into their nature.
Human nature was not divided into good and evil, and water was not divided into things.
It was easy to do good, and easier to do evil.
If a person cultivated their heart from a young age, they would be pure and unimpeded. Naturally, it would be easier for them to step on the great path than other things.
There was no free meal in the world, and how could there be an easy way to become an immortal?
The devil path was easy to practice evil, and the ghost path was easy to practice suicide.
The righteous path was difficult to practice, and it was difficult to achieve a thousand tribulations.
Chen Xi didn't come here to slay demons and devils, he was just purely curious.
Monsters were actually not as evil and cunning as shown in novels and movies.
Before they gained intelligence, there was no distinction between good and bad in their behavior. Everything was based on instinct in order to survive.
Natural selection, survival of the fittest, this was the law of nature.
After gaining intelligence, they would learn to think like humans, but they would be much more innocent than humans.
As for the complicated feelings that humans had towards demons, it was actually more due to the antagonism between races.
In nature, there was no such thing as cruelty and killing. There were only producers, consumers, and decomposers.
The monster in front of him seemed to have gained intelligence for a long time, so Chen Xi did not feel too much of a bloody smell from it. Instead, it had the calm and tranquility of a reclusive master.
It was now the era of firearms, and human civilization had developed to become omnipotent. The living environment of monsters was also more dangerous, so Chen Xi was ready to leave after watching for a while.
He had come without a sound, so naturally, he had to leave without a sound as well.
However, just as Chen Xi turned to leave, the demon suddenly lowered its head and inadvertently saw Chen Xi's back.
It was stunned for a moment, and an extremely anthropomorphic expression appeared on its face. Then it suddenly came back to its senses, and its fur suddenly stood up. Like a frightened cat, it immediately made a pouncing posture toward Chen Xi's back.
Yes, this was a leopard, and an extremely rare Ink Leopard.
What was an ink leopard?
It had the body of a tiger, but was only one-third the size of a tiger. It was a medium-sized carnivorous beast, also known as a leopard or leopard!
It is the smallest of the four large cats in the genus Panthera (the other three are lions, tigers, and jaguars).
Shoulder height is about 0, body length is about 1, tail length is about 60 cm, weight is 60-100 kg.
It had a round head, short ears, strong and powerful limbs, sharp claws, and strong flexibility.
The leopard's whole body was bright, and its fur was brown and yellow. It was covered with black spots and rings, forming an ancient coin-like pattern, so it was called a leopard.
Unlike the grayish-white snow leopard, the Ink Leopard was a black-colored individual produced by the mutation of the leopard's fur color. Its whole body was dark black, and there were still copper spots on it. Therefore, this type of individual was often called an Ink Leopard.
The leopard's physical strength was very strong, and its vision and smell were very sensitive. It was alert, and it could swim and climb trees. It became a bold and fierce carnivore with a wide range of food. It was good at jumping and climbing. It usually lived alone and came out at night, early in the morning, or in the evening. It often wandered back and forth in the forest. Its nature was fierce, but it usually did not hurt people.
Leopards were different from lions and tigers. Their biggest difference, other than their size, was their roar.
The roar of lions and tigers was really "roar," but the roar of leopards was —
"Meow."
There were two major types of cats, called Mimi Cats and Roaring Cats in foreign countries.
Tigers and lions could roar, and were called Roaring Cats. Cheetahs were classified as Mimi Cats and could not roar loudly.
The reason for this difference was that the structure of the hyoid bone in their throats was different. However, this difference was not enough to separate them into two families, so they were all classified as large cats.
Of course, unlike the clear sound of a cat, a leopard's roar would have a hint of hoarseness.
Leopards and cats were the same. Their eyes had night vision, so even if Chen Xi's figure was covered by the shadows of the forest, this Ink Leopard was still sharp enough to notice him.
As an intelligent wild beast, the Ink Leopard's intelligence was not inferior to that of a human's. Therefore, it was very clear that if this person was allowed to return alive, then there would definitely be groups of search teams coming to look for it the next day.
And it would once again embark on the path of finding a habitat.
Therefore, almost without any hesitation, the Ink Leopard's muscles tightened, and then it suddenly pounced. Its body was like an eagle pecking at food, and it flew off the giant rock at an extremely fast speed, directly pouncing on Chen Xi's back.
However, just as it was about to pounce on the human figure, a hand strangely appeared in front of its eyes.
The Ink Leopard was shocked. Before it could react, the hand directly grabbed its neck, and then like pinching a duck, it pinched its neck and hung it in the air.
Monsters were different from humans. They did not learn so many mysterious and unpredictable spells.
Their sharp fangs and claws were their most advantageous weapons, and their skin was their strongest defense. Even if they had intelligence, they would continue to temper and strengthen their bodies, and fight against immortal cultivators purely with their physical bodies.
Therefore, when the Ink Leopard's neck was pinched, the sharp claws on its front legs immediately popped out, and viciously scratched at the human's arm.
However, after its sharp claws scratched, the Ink Leopard was shocked to find that its indestructible claws could not even scratch the human's skin.
At this time, the force from the arm grew stronger, and the Ink Leopard's breathing became more and more difficult.
It had just gained intelligence, but it was far from reaching the stage where it could not eat, drink, or breathe.
"Meow …"
The Ink Leopard struggled and let out a cry, and Chen Xi saw a pleading expression on its face.
After thinking for a while, Chen Xi slightly loosened his fingers, and let the Ink Leopard fall from his hand.
"Forget it, with the environment on Earth, without the inheritance of a tribe, and without the guidance of a powerful person, it's already not easy for you to cultivate to the point of gaining intelligence. Go, I'll spare your life today, but you have to remember, don't kill people in the future. "
After saying that, Chen Xi turned around and walked back the way he came.
The Ink Leopard crouched on the ground, and put on a defensive posture. However, after hearing Chen Xi's words, a confused expression immediately appeared on its face.
It looked in the direction that Chen Xi left, and its eyes rolled around, as if it was thinking about something.
After hesitating for a while, the Ink Leopard seemed to have made a decision, and started running in the direction that Chen Xi left.
Chen Xi stood at the bottom of the cliff, and was thinking about whether there was a shorter way to return.
At this time, there was a faint sound coming from the forest.
Chen Xi turned around and saw that the Ink Leopard was actually following him!
The Ink Leopard carefully came to a place not far from Chen Xi, and then suddenly bent its front legs, lowered its head, and let out a series of meows.
Chen Xi thought for a while, and then asked, "You want to go with me?"
Hearing this, the Ink Leopard immediately raised its head and nodded in a very human-like manner. Then, it let out a 'meow'.
"Interesting …"
Chen Xi suddenly laughed, and asked, "Can you become smaller?"
The Ink Leopard tilted its head, as if it did not understand what Chen Xi meant.
However, it seemed to be afraid that Chen Xi would not want it, so it quickly let out another meow, and at the same time, used its front paws to scratch the ground a few times.
Seeing this, Chen Xi squatted down, and then put his hand on its head.
"Just nice, Niannian needs a partner. This Great Wilderness Physical Exercise Technique is a bargain for you."
