Chapter 1276 The Unlucky Manul (2/2)

It looked at its rivals in surprise, turned and darted into the crevice of a rock.

Li Du saw it from the car and exclaimed, ”Hey, a manul!”

Known as the Siberian elves, Manuls were wild cats who looked deceptively cute. Manuls have become popular pets among Middle Eastern tycoons recently.

The manuls were very fierce. They roamed freely in the taiga and had few opponents. They were strong and had sharp claws, and their only natural disadvantage was their four short legs.

Ah Bai must have suffered attacks from manuls before. At least, it appeared to know that the fat cat was dangerous. It ran away at the same time as the manul did.

Since his childhood, Ah Meow was full of self-confidence. He had never met a truly fierce opponent, so he thought he was the best at fighting. When he saw the fellow feline manul, he sensed the chance to show its fierceness and quickly darted after it.

Commonly, felines had long limbs and excellent running abilities. Manuls were the exception. The manul could not run fast with its short legs, so when it met danger it would find a crack in the rocks and hide.

Ah Meow followed it all the way to the crevice.

The Manul was trapped inside. It opened its mouth and gave a hiss of protest.

Li Du went after Ah Meow and looked. This Manul was unlucky enough to become Ah Meow's target. He shook his head and said, ”Let's go, don't detain the others.”

Ah Meow and the others didn't want to leave. They blocked the rocks and watched the manul together.

Ah Meow, Crispy Noodles and Ah Meng could squeeze in if they tried, but they had the wit not to risk it and stopped in front of the rocks to frighten the manul.

This poor manul was really frightened. It recognized Ah Ow's as a wolf, and it was the first time it had seen creatures such as Ah Meow, Ali and the others. It did not know what sort of monsters these were!

Li Du had to drag the little ones away. The manul was the native here and it was not fair to bully him after invading his territory.

Even after Ah Meow and the others left, the manul did not come out. Li Du thought it was afraid and hiding from danger.

However, after a while, the manul's worried cry came out from between the stones, ”Woof woof woof woof woof!”

Li Du would have thought it was a puppy barking if he hadn't known there was a manul hidden among the rocks.

Li Du went back to take a look and was stunned to see half of the manul's body was underground. Its four small legs were now completely invisible.

Suddenly he knew what was happening. The manul was out of luck. There was a marsh under the rock, and the animal had accidentally sunk into it. It could only be swallowed by the marsh because its road out was blocked just now.

Li Du was not a cruel man. He reached out his hand to retrieve the manul. However, the ungrateful animal opened its mouth in a snarl and stretched out its neck to bite him.

Looking at the manul's ferocious fangs, Li Du helplessly withdrew his hand. He did not want to lose a finger.

.

Thinking of his own rescue from the swamp, Li Du called over Ah Meng and asked it to go in and dig out the mud to help out the unlucky manul.

Ah Meng refused to help, bellowing threateningly at the manul, which made the manul flounder and sink deeper into the mire.

Steve watched Li Du hovering around the crevice with a couple of the little ones and came over to see what was going on.

When Li Du explained the situation, Steve showed interest and said, ”Leave it to me. I'll save it. Hey, man, but first let me ask you, are you interested in it?”
