Xia Mang was not an idiot.
He had long seen through Yuan Jie's expression what he wanted to hide.
When he asked him about the leopard cat, he also asked if he had seen the orchard. It seemed like the most important reason was because of the orchard.
Seeing that Xia Mang was about to leave, Yuan Jie quickly shouted: "Xia Mang Mecha Master! Please wait. "
He even used honorifics to address her.
"Hmph, Big Brother Yuan, what else is there to say?"
Xia Mang asked coldly.
"I... It was not intentional. "
Yuan Jie lowered his head in distress: "It's because that orchard is really too precious."
He sighed heavily. "This orchard was passed down from my ancestors. There is only one kind of fruit tree in it …"
"If I say that you might not know the name of this tree, but if I say that the fruit is called Red Lantern, you will definitely know."
After hearing that, Xia Mang turned around with his eyes wide open. You have a garden of red lanterns? "
"Yeah."
Yuan Jie laughed bitterly: "So you understand why I didn't tell you."
"This Black Cloud Leopard Cat ate a lot of my red lanterns and became so powerful."
"Sigh, two from before. One of them was directly bitten to death while the other tried to snatch it. I killed him."
After saying this, Yuan Jie took out a handgun from his pocket and put it back in his pocket.
"Why do you want to tell me? Worse comes to worse, after I leave, you can still invite other people."
Xia Mang calmed his heart down and asked calmly.
Yuan Jie said seriously: "Because I can see that you are a genuine person, and are different from those complicated thoughts outside. Before, you could clearly see that I was hiding my identity, but you didn't ask me any further, as the first person who thought of this matter, was to save my life, and not focus on other things. And if it wasn't for you, my life would have been lost to that beast today."
Xia Mang sighed: "I have to say, the red lanterns are indeed very attractive, I can't help but have thoughts of taking it for myself, it's just that my principles are rather strong."
"Haha, since that damned beast has already eaten so much, I might as well be generous this time. As long as Xia Mang is able to capture that beast alive, I will take out a red lantern as compensation!"
Yuan Jie laughed out loud.
Xia Mang curiously asked again, "I don't really understand why you keep thinking of capturing the Black Cloud Leopard Cat alive."
"Now that the leopard cat has consumed the red lantern, its abilities have increased greatly in all aspects. It's already difficult to capture it alive."
Yuan Jie sighed: "Could it be that the fruits it ate are just wasted? As long as I can capture it alive, I will have a way to refine the essence of the red lantern in its blood.
"Red Lantern Essence!"
Xia Mang frowned.
Seeing his reaction, Yuan Jie immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing again.
As expected, Xia Mang immediately said seriously: "I'm afraid that after Big Brother Yuan refines all the essences, not only will he recoup some of his losses, his profits will also increase by several folds."
"Sigh."
Yuan Jie sighed, "Xia Mang's mecha master's words are wrong, the essence is expensive, but if you really want to earn money that much, why don't I raise a bunch of rats to eat red lanterns and extract the essence?"
"This process is too expensive."
"I can only make a slight profit. It's still better than wasting my time by turning these things into animal poop."
After hearing what he said, Xia Mang nodded in understanding. "Alright, but I don't want that red lantern fruit. I hope to get a bottle of its refined essence."
Hearing that, Yuan Jie immediately opened his eyes wide, and subconsciously shouted: "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! "
"Alright then."
Xia Mang shrugged his shoulders helplessly. "Since you are unwilling to give me rewards that will match the difficulty of the mission, I have no reason to take my life as a joke, am I right?"
"Don't worry, I won't reveal this secret."
With that, he picked up his stuff and prepared to leave.
Yuan Jie secretly cursed the little fox, and quickly shouted: "Everything can be discussed, Xia Mang Mecha Master!"
Seeing that Xia Mang still did not turn back, he raised a finger and counted again, "One cubic centimeter huh? "I'm willing to take out a cubic centimeter's worth of essence!"
Hearing that number, Xia Mang immediately stopped and turned back to reveal a smile: "Alright, it's a deal."
Yuan Jie was instantly like a deflated ball as he sat on the bench and cried, "Ah, what a loss! I can't bear to eat even one of those, I actually gave you a cubic centimeter of essence, a whole cubic centimeter of essence ah ~!"
"Haha, Big Brother Yuan, this is called the Equivalent Exchange. For this reason, you have obtained even more essence, haven't you?"
Xia Mang laughed.
"How many can there be …?" My god, this Black Cloud Leopard Cat can at most be refined into three cubic centimeters. "
Yuan Jie screamed miserably, as if it was the end of the world.
"Emma, Emma, don't be like I want your life. Brother, I saved your life, if you were hanging at the mouth of the leopard cat just now, this entire garden's red lanterns would be mine."
Xia Mang reminded him once again, "I saved your life!"
"Fine."
Yuan Jie sighed: "Seeing that you have saved my life, I will accept it."
"Man, let's talk about how we can capture that beast alive."
Xia Mang nodded his head: "Now, there is a way. If you throw the bait and I hide in the shadows, I think it would be difficult for your gun to cause too much harm."
"Therefore, I decided to move the high temperature particle sword to the third stage when I had the chance. I didn't need to spend too much effort to cut off its four limbs."
Yuan Jie shook his head: "That won't do, I have to ensure that the essence is alive, and it cannot be too serious. This kind of method where an arm or a leg is broken is too miserable, the essence has lost too much, and will lead to insufficient vitality."
"Then that would be awkward."
Xia Mang also felt that this was a little tricky.
If it was the original Black Cloud Leopard Cat, he could have caught the cage that he brought with him, but this Black Cloud Leopard Cat was different now. After eating the red lantern fruit, whether it was in terms of spirit or abilities, both had greatly increased. The most important thing was, the cage was too small, it could not be closed at all.
It seemed that a cubic centimeter of fine liquid was not that easy to obtain.
"Got it."
Suddenly, Xia Mang had a flash of inspiration.
Why not make good use of his own thunder control talent?
Paralysis was one of the characteristics of electric currents. As long as one could paralyze the Black Cloud Leopard Cat and restrict its movements, wouldn't the latter be under his control?
"Brother Yuan, do you have any strong ropes here?"
Xia Mang asked.
"Yes, of course, it's tungsten steel."
Yuan Jie nodded.
"Very well, give it to me."
Xia Mang stretched out his hand.
The latter hurriedly entered the room and revealed a pile of iron chains.
"Damn, why do you have so many? Tungsten steel is not cheap."
Xia Mang was flabbergasted as he looked at the pile of metal in front of him.
Yuan Jie scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed smile: "I'm not too sure either, it's all left behind by my ancestors."
"Your ancestors had such abundant stocks."
Xia Mang could only say one thing, and then, with great effort, he took down a chain that was large enough to bind a Black Cloud Leopard Cat, and walked out alone.
"Hey, Xia Mang Mecha Master, you're leaving just like that?"
Yuan Jie immediately shouted.
"Yes, is there a problem?"
Xia Mang turned around and asked in surprise.
"No, have you decided what to do?"
"Have you thought about it? Don't worry, just wait here. Wait for my good news."
After Xia Mang finished speaking, he took the tungsten steel rope and walked out the door, then retrieved a long rod that was also made of tungsten steel from the virtual data space.
Its style was very similar to the alloy bar s that were distributed during the tournament. Xia Mang had specially changed it to another one in the Hall of Honor.
On the way to the orchard, Xia Mang had already fully mobilized the biological current in his body, but he did not know if the electric current would be effective on the strengthened Black Cloud Leopard Cat.
"Sigh, if only I could obtain the middle grade lightning control records."
Xia Mang secretly thought.
They arrived at the location of the rescue.
Xia Mang hid himself in a corner and observed the situation around the cage from afar.
As expected, the Black Cloud Leopard Cat was eating the silver fish meat with relish, and did not discover the enemy that was approaching stealthily.
"Looks like it's already finished Yuan Jie's piece of meat. This fellow's appetite is really good."
Xia Mang thought in his heart, and roughly estimated the distance between him and it, so he chose to change the path, and go towards the other side of the house.
After walking around in a large circle, they finally arrived at a distance of about 20 meters from the leopard cat.
Xia Mang took a deep breath, threw the tungsten steel chain onto the ground and fiercely attacked.
As for this battle, he didn't have any burdens. At most, he would be unable to capture him alive and escape.
The leopard cat's hearing was extremely sharp, the moment Xia Mang made the slightest sound, it immediately noticed the situation over here and gave up on eating the food, baring its fangs as it pounced over.
"Little kitty, you're not cute like this."
Xia Mang took the chance and smirked as he smashed down with his staff. However, his tungsten steel rod did not hit his target, but shattered rocks instead.
"Such a big body and such a fast speed."
Xia Mang did not need to adjust too much. Without even turning his head, he immediately used his combat awareness to flip his fan.
"Aowu ~!"
A mournful cry sounded from behind him at the same time.
Hearing that, Xia Mang immediately stood up and faced the Black Cloud Leopard Cat once again.
After being hit by the swing of the rod, the leopard cat was flung more than a meter away, but immediately stood back up after falling to the ground, its eyes flashed with the light of murder.
"It's actually fine."
Xia Mang opened his eyes wide, the rod contained a strong electric current, but the leopard cat seemed to be fine.
This situation immediately made him secretly alert.
