Chapter 43: Get the Treasure (2/2)
After finding the half-cliff cave, he settled down there for a while. He dug a hole in the cave, where he buried in the 13 bottles of Drowsy Drug in case of accidents. He had planned to hurt Xue Wuya in a trap with the Drowsy Drug in the next couple of days. Seeing the grotesqueness of little monster the day before, he wanted to conquer it. So he dug out a bottle to take with him. He intended to go to the open space where he led the little monster to, then he knocked it out with Drowsy Drug, killing two birds with one stone.
It wasn't an honorable way of dealing with the little chipmunk. But at this point, he didn't really care about the honorable way of doing it. He was not a famous master, and he was just a pitiful creature captured by a devil. So, he didn't care about whether he acted like a wretch or not.
Having made the decision, Junior Leopard went directly into the jungle without delay. Since he had just gone through there yesterday, he was already familiar with the area and the way of getting there. It wasn't that far away. After he walked for about ten miles, he then climbed over a slope to the open space.
Junior Leopard's trip there was a smooth one, since he encountered no insects or beasts on the way. When Junior Leopard came to the slope, he saw the piece of yellow cloth in the cave was still on the ground, but without the little chipmunk.
”Where is that little monster? Dose it go out to search for food?” Junior Leopard pondered, then he heard a slight ”pop!” sound.
In his mind he knew this was not going to end well, so he acted quickly and held his breath as he went back down the slope for about 10 feet before stopping. Junior Leopard looked back in trepidation and saw little monster lying on a branch, making a face at him.
”You are not afraid of strangers, eh?” Junior Leopard thought, with a wry smile in his heart. Fussing about little monster's behavior, Junior Leopard rushed to the little monster with a leap. Lying motionlessly on the branch like yesterday, the little monster just waited for Junior Leopard to come and try to catch him. Once Junior Leopard came to little monster, it started Three Realms Division to escape, eyes seemingly filled with excitement. The little monster seemed to think of this as a sort of game.
However, the little monster didn't expect that this time Junior Leopard didn't want to catch him. Almost a foot away from the little monster, Junior Leopard released little colorless and odorless Drowsy Drug.
The Drowsy Drug was actually all white powders. Hiding a few powders in nails, Junior Leopard vibrated it with internal forces. Then the powders scattered automatically. That was why the Drowsy Drug had neither color nor odor.
Although the little monster was clever, it was so simple that it believed they were playing a kind of very interesting game. It had never encountered any wretched person like this guy who used the devious means. So, when he was a foot away from him, it was actually unprepared. It still didn't care when he scattered the sleeping serum to it. Because it only prepared for escaping when he was about to seize him.
However, he stopped at about half-foot away from the little monster after scattering the powder. Its eyes flashed with a trace of doubt. Suddenly, it felt dizzy and fell still on a branch before falling towards the floor with a ”pa” sound.
There was a smile on his face as his plan had succeeded. He caught it before it hit the ground.
”Hey, you annoying little thing! You think you are so clever, why don't you drink my footbath water?” Looking at the fleshy little guy in his palm, he smiled more proudly.
Junior Leopard flashed into the hole under the rock after two ups and downs. He put the little monster down on the ground gently and retrieved the yellow cloth from the ground.
Without the little monster's obstruction, Junior Leopard picked up the yellow cloth easily, just like picking up an ordinary one.
”Good toughness!” Junior Leopard praised when he held up the yellow cloth and pulled it gently. Although he didn't pull the cloth very hard, he clearly felt the power from it. He wondered why he could tear it open even with his full strength.
The thing seemed to be made of cloth, but in fact, it wasn't. When he held the thing in his hand, he found it was made of a kind of strange and smooth animal skin. However, he had no idea about what kind of skin it belonged, the beast's skin, a bird's skin or some other unknown animals' skin.
The skin was the size of a handkerchief, which was triangular like a flag. There was a big pattern like a rune or more like a strange pattern engraving in the center of the triangular. Junior Leopard checked the skin over and over again for a long time but he didn't find anything unusual. He also tried to impart Internal Qi into the skin several times, but nothing special happened. It was still a piece of yellow skin. He had used several methods, and he even used the legendary method of ”blood to claim a family connection”, like the story he had read in the previous life. However, when he dropped his blood on the skin, the blood just slipped to the ground, like the skin was on a tarp. The yellow skin had no reaction.
After studying the skin for a long time without any progress, he had no choice but to simply put the skin on his arm. Looking at the little monster still sleeping at the bottom of the hole, he couldn't help but smile. He came to the cave wall and begun to study the Three Realms Division.
