Chapter 71 The Attack of the Little Devil
"Shashasha~"

There was a sound of leaves shaking, and Chen Xi immediately shone the light over there.

The bushes in front of him kept swaying. He held his breath nervously, raised the stick in his hand - a thick branch he picked up, and bent his body slightly, ready to deal with the attack.

I don't know if it was the light from the flashlight or if the creature in front heard the sound, but the bushes suddenly stopped shaking and the surroundings fell into an eerie silence. Only the chirping of insects echoed in the air.

Chen Xi did not dare to let his guard down and held the wooden stick tightly in his hand.

"Hulua!" Suddenly, a furry little creature came out from the bushes. It stretched its head and stared at Chen Xi curiously, its eyes glowing yellow.

"What the hell is this?"

Chen Xi looked at the strange creature in front of him, and his doubts grew stronger. He began to search for memories about this creature in his mind.

The shape of this creature is quite distinctive, it has a round body, like a big cloth bag.

Its body is dark brown with shiny fur, and its limbs are short and strong, able to support its heavy body.

The head is relatively small, and the tiny ears are nervously erected, as if listening to everything around them.

"It seems to be Herbivore!"

The animal in front of us appears to be a wombat, a plant-eating animal that looks somewhat similar to a bear cub.

They are mainly distributed in the eastern part of Australia and are good at digging holes to hide.

The wombat's most notable feature is its large pouch, located on its abdomen.

The skin of the pocket is thick to protect the cub inside, and there are tough muscles in the mouth to help it control the opening and closing of the pocket.

"Fuck, why don't you hide in the cave and sleep in the middle of the night instead of coming out to scare people?" Chen Xi gave the wombat a displeased look, wondering why it appeared at this time.

The wombat looked stupid and kept staring at him, but soon things changed. The wombat shook its body and quickly ran away.

However, Chen Xi did not let down his guard. He felt something was wrong, not only because of the wombat's behavior, but also because he felt something was approaching.

"grass"

Chen Xi immediately moved the flashlight to the side and saw a black animal staring at him.

"Chi~"

The animal opened its mouth at him and let out a cry, exposing its sharp teeth to the air.

This pitch-black animal bears some resemblance to a wombat, but its habits are completely different.

Chen Xi recognized that it was a Tasmanian devil, short, fat and sturdy, with a big head and short tail, big ears, small eyes, four very short legs and a long, thick tail.

The hair is black, and there are tentacles on the face and top of the head.

The upper and lower jaws are covered with sharp teeth that can crush bones.

The main food is meat, and they even eat snakes.

It likes to go out at night and sleep in tree holes or wombat holes during the day. It is known as the little devil.

A dark shadow suddenly pounced towards him, and the Tasmanian devil decided to attack first.

"boom!"

Chen Xi raised the wooden stick in his hand and hit the Tasmanian devil that was rushing towards him hard.

The wooden stick hit the target with the force of a home run, knocking it away fiercely.

The Tasmanian devil did not fall unconscious after being knocked away. Instead, it twisted on the ground like crazy, then immediately stood up and attacked him again.

Chen Xi swung the wooden stick in the air very quickly, knocking the Tasmanian devil to the ground several times. Although it did not cause fatal damage to it, it obviously made the opponent dare not attack again easily.

The Tasmanian devil stood in front of him, roaring continuously. The two sides began to confront each other, and neither chose to continue attacking.

"Chi~"

"Shh~" At this time, two strange screams were heard from all around.

Chen Xi understood that it was its companions that had arrived.

At this time, the best option is to retreat.

"Mrs. Li, you still dare to shake people?"

"you are vicious!"

Chen Xi knew that he was no match for his opponent. This was not a fight with humans. If it were humans, he could knock down even two more.

But wild animals face life-and-death struggles every day, especially carnivores.

If you fight against them, you are likely to get hurt. If you get bitten and accidentally get infected, it can be life-threatening.

He is not Wu Song, who can easily kill a tiger.

"boom!"

I don’t know if it was excited by the arrival of its companion, but the original Tasmanian devil immediately launched a series of attacks on Chen Xi.

Chen Xi took a deep breath, swung the stick with all his strength, and successfully knocked the Tasmanian devil away.

He immediately seized the opportunity and ran quickly away.

The Tasmanian devil rolled on the ground, making hoarse noises, and was obviously injured. However, it did not give up, and struggled to stand up with all its strength, chasing Chen Xi again.

Chen Xi's breathing became rapid. He knew he couldn't let these Tasmanian devils catch up with him. He looked back and saw that the Tasmanian devils were approaching him quickly, so he quickly quickened his pace.

He ran for a long time, and the Tasmanian devil was always following him. Every time he looked back, he could see the Tasmanian devil rushing towards him with its teeth and claws bared.

"I just hit you a few times, is it that serious?" Chen Xi cursed in his heart as he ran.

Don't most of these Tasmanian devils live in Tasmania?
How come there is one here too? It’s so annoying. How can this thing run so fast?

There was thick fog all around, blurring his vision, and his fast running caused him to bump into small branches from time to time.

Fortunately, the clothes on his body provided some protection, but his face and hands were inevitably scratched with small cuts.

At this moment, he knew it all and didn't care about these insignificant wounds. He just wanted to escape from this dangerous area as soon as possible.

Chen Xi sprinted quickly, and after a few steps, a dense bush suddenly appeared in front of him.

He tried to brake but it was too late and he crashed into the trees.

In an instant, he felt something was wrong. His feet suddenly felt empty and his body tilted forward uncontrollably.

It was a small slope, and soon he fell heavily to the ground and slid down.

There were many branches below, and he bumped into them along the way, and even his flashlight fell to the ground.

Chen Xi ignored the pain in his body and struggled to stand up from the ground.

The rubbing sound of leaves and the howling of Tasmanian devils behind him were getting closer and closer. He held his breath and slowly moved around.

At this time, at the bottom of the slope not far away, Shen Xinyi was so nervous that she dared not breathe. She covered her mouth tightly with both hands, and stared straight at the place where the noise just came from.

The flashlight on the ground emitted a faint light, and it was obvious that someone was coming.

She wanted to shout loudly, but the roars of the wild beasts around her forced her to shut her mouth. If she spoke now, the situation might become worse.

Shen Xinyi couldn't see clearly who the person was, nor was she sure whether he was dead or alive. After falling from above, the person didn't move.

There was fog all around and no one could be seen. The flashlight was lying there alone on the ground and no one picked it up.

The hope that had been brought to her was shattered in an instant, leaving her heart filled with unspeakable bitterness.

She could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that the person was still alive and had just fainted temporarily.
