Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

A dark shadow silently emerged from the grass.

It was entirely black; it was a black panther.

It was a whole size bigger than the dead leopard on the ground.

It glanced at the dead leopard.

Then he raised his head.

"Awooo—"

A leopard roar shook the leaves of the surrounding trees.

"broken!"

Liu Bei's pupils suddenly contracted.

The red dot in my field of vision had turned almost black.

It's several levels deeper than that leopard from before.

The black panther crouched low, its hind legs bracing for power, like a fully drawn bow.

Next second,

The black panther's shadow, like a flying arrow, vanished into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

"No! Shoot! Shoot!" Fan Erhe roared.

But Li Dazhuang's finger remained frozen on the trigger, unable to pull it.

too fast.

From a standstill to a sprint, it took less than a second for the black panther to arrive in front of him.

"boom--"

Liu Bei fired the first shot.

The instant the gunshot rang out, Black Panther's body twisted violently in mid-air.

His entire body was like a whip cracking in the air, shifting him halfway to the side.

The bullet grazed its ear and struck the tree trunk behind it, blasting up a cloud of white wood chips.

"Holy crap! How did he manage to dodge that?"

Liu Bei was shocked, his face filled with disbelief.

Because he noticed that Black Panther had already made a dodge maneuver the moment he pulled the trigger, clearly having anticipated the move.

"Damn! Is this beast some kind of spirit?" Fan Erhe exclaimed in shock.

Just then, the black panther landed without pausing.

Instead, he flipped over and disappeared into the bushes on his right.

Its black fur blended into the night and vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Damn!" Li Dazhuang finally came to his senses, raising his gun and pointing it at the bushes, sweeping the barrel back and forth. "It...it got away?"

"Don't let your guard down." Liu Bei pulled back the bolt, ejected the empty cartridge, took a bullet from his ammunition pouch, and loaded it. "It's not moving. Everyone stand back to back, guns facing outwards, in case it attacks."

"Xiao Bei, how did you know?" Fan Erhe's voice trembled.

"If I'm not mistaken, the female leopard must be its mate. With its mate's body here, it won't leave."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the five men quickly gathered back to back, forming a circle, with their five shotguns pointing in five different directions.

Fan Shuanzhu pointed his gun eastward, his eyes constantly glancing towards Fan Ha'er.

Fan Ha'er stood next to Liu Bei, his breathing becoming heavier and heavier.

Li Dazhuang stood guard to the south, not daring to utter a sound.

As for Fan Erhe, he was guarding the west side, but his legs were trembling.

Liu Bei, positioned in the center, kept his eyes fixed on the dark red object.

No, they are light spots that are almost blackish-red.

At this moment, it moved like a ghost, its footsteps were very light, and it made no sound, circling around them.

One minute.

three minutes.

five minutes.

The chirping of insects has completely disappeared.

The wind stopped.

The world was as quiet as a coffin.

Ten minutes passed quickly.

The black and red dot continued to move slowly, maintaining a distance of forty meters, neither too close nor too far.

Fifteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

"Brother Bei," Fan Ha'er finally couldn't hold back any longer, lowering her voice, "Brother Bei, it's been so long, that black panther should have run away by now, right? It won't come back, will it?"

Li Dazhuang also breathed a sigh of relief: "It should be... even the fiercest wild beasts are afraid of gunshots. That shot just now must have scared him."

Fan Erhe and Fan Shuanzhu exchanged a glance, still not daring to relax.

Ten minutes passed quickly.

The red and black dot was still forty meters away, but its movement was getting slower and slower.

Until one moment, it suddenly stopped.

At this moment, Fan Shuanzhu was the first to lower his gun and let out a long sigh: "It's been so long, he must really be gone."

Fan Erhe relaxed his shoulders and wiped the cold sweat from his face with his sleeve: "Damn it, I almost lost my life tonight. Everyone, take a break and calm down—"

But at that moment,

The red and black dots in Liu Bei's line of sight suddenly shot out.

There is no transition from standstill to full speed.

The 40-meter distance was covered in just three or four seconds.

"Get down on your feet!"

Liu Bei suddenly shouted.

But it was too late.

A bone-chilling wind blew towards Fan Ha'er.

A pair of yellow-green eyes suddenly blazed in the darkness and lunged at Fan Ha'er, while a pair of long fangs snapped at him.

"What?"

Fan Ha'er's mind went blank for a moment, and he froze on the spot.

Ruined.

dying.

I can't find a wife.

I haven't learned from Brother Bei's experience yet.

How could this be?

"Haa!!!"

Seeing this, Fan Shuanzhu hurriedly called out, wanting to rush over and use his body to shield the black leopard and save his son. But his feet were firmly rooted to the ground, completely unresponsive.

They could only watch helplessly as the black panther pounced on their son.

"Haa, no~"

Looking at her son's square face, which was exactly the same as her own.

Fan Shuanzhu burst into tears.

At that moment, he hated himself for being incompetent and felt unworthy of being a father.

"boom--"

At the critical moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out.

"Pfft~"

Blood splattered everywhere.

The black panther's fangs stopped an inch in front of Fan Ha'er's neck.

Then, his entire body crashed heavily to the ground.

Fan Ha'er remained with his head tilted back, his eyes wide open, completely dumbfounded.

three seconds.

Five seconds.

ten seconds.

A warm liquid trickled down Fan Ha'er's neck; he couldn't tell if it was his blood or saliva from the black panther's mouth.

"Ha... Ha'er!" Fan Shuanzhu's legs could finally move. He ran over quickly, grabbed his son's shoulders, and checked him over thoroughly. "Are you hurt? Let Dad take a look!"

"I'm...I'm not hurt." Fan Ha'er's voice trembled. "Father, I almost didn't get to get married."

Fan Shuanzhu immediately pulled his son into his arms, holding him tightly.

Looking at the father and son, Fan Erhe composed himself and walked up to the black leopard.

This time he learned his lesson and poked the gun barrel three times to make sure there was no movement before squatting down to look through it.

Under the moonlight, there was a bullet hole right in the center of Black Panther's forehead.

Round and clean, it was completely dead.

Fan Erhe slowly stood up and turned to look at Liu Bei.

The moonlight shone on Liu Bei's face, and his expression looked very calm, as if he had just done something very ordinary.

But everyone knows how difficult that shot was.

Black Panther sprinted at full speed and was less than half an inch away from Fan Ha'er. If Liu Bei wanted to save him, he had to aim and shoot within a fraction of a second, and not even a millimeter off, otherwise he would hit Fan Ha'er.

"Xiao Bei." Fan Erhe walked over and patted him heavily on the shoulder.

"You saved Ha'er's life. The Fan family will remember this kindness for a lifetime."

"Uncle Shuanzhu, Ha'er is my brother, save him—"

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Bei noticed another red dot appearing in his field of vision.

His expression changed, and he immediately made a shushing gesture.

"besides?"

Upon seeing this action, Fan Erhe and the others' expressions changed again.

Two leopards have already died, are there any more?

Did we stir up a den of leopards tonight?

Liu Bei gestured to Fan Erhe to stay where they were, then crouched down, gun in hand, and crept toward the direction marked by the red dot.

Thirty meters,

Twenty meters

fifteen,

ten meters,

What puzzled Liu Bei was that he hadn't found anything.

There wasn't even a mountain rat, let alone a leopard.

Liu Bei glanced at the red dot in his field of vision again; it was still there, but the color had become darker, and it was still flashing.

"How could this happen?"

The red dots represent prey.

The darker the color, the fiercer the prey.

This is the pattern he summarized.

But there was clearly no living creature in front of them, yet the red dot was flashing.

He crouched down and searched the surrounding bushes and grass again.

Suddenly, something reflected the moonlight from under a pile of dead leaves ten meters ahead.

Liu Bei walked over and used the gun barrel to push aside the dead leaves.

The next second, his eyes suddenly lit up.
