She said in a low voice. At the same time, she slowly retreated. “Sparrowhawk, retreat now and slow down your footsteps! Captain Xia, Captain Li, prepare to fire!”
“F*ck, what’s in front?” T6 was clueless behind Ye Jian. Hearing what she said, his scalp turned numb. Then, he slowly retreated.
The swamp didn’t look like flat ground. If they weren’t careful, they would sink into the mud. Just as the Chinese participants took a few steps back, continuous gunshots suddenly came from the sky above the quiet swamp. Right on the heels of that, they heard sounds that sounded like cats but weren’t.
“Woo… Woo…”
Although the sound was muffled, they could still hear that the cat-like voice was very sharp and aggressive.
Ye Jian had never heard this sound before and didn’t know what kind of animal it was. However, the Italian special forces soldiers told her that in the eastern forest of Estonia, Pallas’ cats, wolves, and bears were abnormally active. They had to be on guard against their attacks at all times.
The howl of a wolf came from afar. From the sound, she knew that it was quite far away. She had heard the sound of a bear before and had even had a direct confrontation with it.
There was only one animal left.
“Pallas’ cats. We’ve encountered Pallas’ cats. This swamp is where Pallas’ cats are active,” Ye Jian said in a low voice. At the same time, she pulled Sparrowhawk. The two of them retreated almost back to back.
In front, several green eyes flickered. The Pallas’ cats hiding on the tree had already appeared. There were four of them.
Pallas’ cats were rare wild animals in their country, but they were common in the Estonian forest. They were also a type of feline. Their whereabouts were secretive, and they were slightly smaller than tigers and leopards.
In the night, the green eyes of the Pallas’ cats emitted a terrifying light. They stared at the intruders who had entered their territory. Their fur was all standing up, and they let out low panting cries.
Wild beasts were afraid of humans. When they saw humans, they would usually avoid them. However, these Pallas’ cats didn’t avoid them. Instead, they slowly moved forward.
“Don’t they live alone? Why are there four of them?” T6 saw the approaching Pallas’ cats and carefully stepped onto an unknown tree that grew horizontally on the swamp. His facial expression was slightly cold as he said to Ye Jian in front, “Hurry up and retreat. Up the tree!”
After entering the forest, they needed to avoid these wild animals that had a certain level of aggressiveness. Although the Pallas’ cats were timid, the situation was obviously not good. They were already full of aggressiveness.
Xia Jinyuan and Li Jinnian were already prepared to fire. Once the Pallas’ cats attacked, they would immediately shoot to protect their comrades.
“Retreat first and take a detour.” Li Jinnian, who had loaded his bullets, pulled the rope tightly with one hand. His cold eyes stared at the Pallas’ cats that were shrieking as they approached. “Speed up a little.”
T6 had already grabbed Ye Jian’s hand, pulling her toward him forcefully. Ye Jian stepped over the mud that could make people sink and stood steadily on the tree. She reached out her hand and pulled Sparrowhawk up the tree.
The swamp was filled with mud. It was dangerous to walk in the day, let alone at night. Fortunately, the path they took was the same as before. It didn’t matter if they retreated a little faster.
After retreating for almost a kilometer, the green eyes in front disappeared. They were afraid too. The participating special forces soldiers, including Ye Jian, had blood on their hands and had murderous auras on their bodies. They could make the beasts feel afraid and threatened.
