The entire school embarks on a survival journey, starting from a primeval rainforest.

Hearing the tabby cat's warning, Jiang Fan advanced instead of retreating.

There's no time to back down now, so we might as well go all in.

He quickly took two steps forward and arrived at the shore.

Although there were still many caimans lying on the ground, Jiang Fan still jumped down.

"Let me go! You're going to kill me!" The tabby cat in his arms struggled desperately when it saw Jiang Fan like this.

"Jiang Fan, are you alright!" Ding Hang, who was holding the ladder at the third-floor window, noticed Jiang Fan's abnormality and shouted loudly.

"I'm fine, don't come any closer," Jiang Fan quickly replied, not wanting anyone to come and cause trouble.

"Oh no, I should have known better than to recruit underlings." The tabby cat couldn't break free from Jiang Fan's arm and was filled with regret.

The moment Jiang Fan landed, the nearby crocodiles stirred.

Seemingly not expecting his sudden appearance, they were startled and rushed into the water.

However, several extremely ferocious ones not only did not run away, but instead opened their blood-red mouths and rushed towards him.

At the same time, a shadow the size of a calf burst out of the forest and pounced straight at them.

Jiang Fan knew that this was the big guy the tabby cat had been talking about.

In this critical moment, his mind became even calmer. He took a deep breath, raised his right hand slightly, and a vine shot out diagonally upwards.

Jiang Fan estimated that the people on the other side of the dormitory could no longer see the situation on his side, which is why he used the Heavenly Cloud Vine without any scruples.

This is his biggest trump card at the moment, and he doesn't want to expose it to everyone's attention.

Therefore, he did not choose to swing directly from the rooftop to the shore using the Heavenly Cloud Vine.

The vines flew very fast, instantly wrapping around the trunk of a giant tree in front of them.

Almost simultaneously, the nearest caiman pounced in front of you, its stench and heat assaulting your senses, its fangs gleaming white in the dim light.

Jiang Fan dodged to the side, the crocodile's upper jaw grazing his thigh, the rough scales scraping against his clothes with a harsh rubbing sound.

If it weren't for the rattan armor protecting him, he would likely have been injured.

The second crocodile attacked from the side. Jiang Fan yanked his right hand sharply, causing the vines to contract abruptly, and his body was forcibly pulled upwards.

The crocodile missed its target, and its massive jaws snapped shut with a dull "crack".

The third crocodile pounced from another direction almost simultaneously. Jiang Fan swept his left hand with a wooden stick, and his mastery of gun weapons allowed him to control the weapon precisely, striking the most vulnerable spot on the crocodile's nose.

The crocodile, in pain, veered off course.

But the "big guy" has already arrived.

It was a leopard, but it was a whole size larger than a normal leopard, with a shoulder height of nearly one meter. Its whole body was covered with golden fur, which was covered with black rose-shaped spots.

Its eyes, which were amber in color, were now an unnatural crimson, staring intently at the tabby cat in Jiang Fan's arms, emitting a low, threatening purr from its throat.

It's too fast.

Just as Jiang Fan dodged the crocodiles' attack and was still in mid-air, the leopard had already pounced at his feet.

The mark on his right wrist suddenly became hot, and three vines shot out at the same time!

A tree trunk that had wrapped around the body further away suddenly contracted, pulling the body two meters laterally.

The other two vines lashed out at the leopard's head like whips.

"Slap! Slap!"

With a sharp crack, the leopard roared angrily, its charge momentarily halting, but its agile body allowed it to quickly adjust.

Using the pull of the vines, Jiang Fan swung his body in an arc through the air toward the giant tree.

He landed precariously on a horizontal branch, which was only about the thickness of a bowl. The branch bent downwards upon impact, making a creaking sound as it succumbed to the weight.

Jiang Fan gripped the tree branch tightly with his right hand, held a wooden stick horizontally in front of him with his left hand, and his chest heaved violently.

Below, the leopard raised its head, its amber-red eyes fixed on Jiang Fan in the tree, or more precisely, on the tabby cat in his arms.

It paced back and forth restlessly, its tail held high and its tip flicking rapidly.

"What did you do?" Jiang Fan looked down at the tabby cat in his arms.

The tabby cat shrank its neck and meowed softly, "This cat...this cat just thought those little leopard cubs had good potential and wanted to take them as its underlings, so I gave them a little 'education'...who knew their mother would hold a grudge like that and keep chasing after me."

"But you can't blame me, can you? If you weren't so impressive with a bunch of lackeys behind you, I wouldn't have gotten myself into this mess."

Jiang Fan: "..."

How come it seems like this whole thing has turned out to be my own fault?

The thick fog drifted slowly around us.

The outline of the dormitory building in the distance was faintly visible in the fog. There seemed to be a figure moving in the third-floor window, but it was too far away to see the details.

Jiang Fan slowly exhaled.

The Heavenly Cloud Vine mark on his wrist emitted a subtle pulsating sensation, as if reminding him that those few moves had taken a toll.

While talking to the tabby cat, Jiang Fan wasn't idle. He quickly crushed the [White Resource Card - Military Knife] he had obtained the night before, and a sharp military dagger appeared in his hand.

The vines twined around the stick, securing the dagger to the top, and a simple spear was thus completed.

The whole process took only two or three seconds.

Just then, the leopard moved.

It leaped lightly onto a shorter tree nearby, and with all its might, pounced on the branch where Jiang Fan was!

Jiang Fan pushed off the branches with both feet, swinging his body backward while thrusting his spear forward.

The leopard twisted and dodged in mid-air, its sharp claws grazing the tip of the gun, sending sparks flying.

Using the Heavenly Cloud Vine as a guide, Jiang Fan landed on the ground not far away and casually placed the tabby cat aside, saying, "Hide well."

The leopard landed right behind Jiang Fan, less than ten meters away.

It lowered its body, the gurgling sound in its throat grew louder, and the muscles in its hind legs tensed.

That was a prelude to another attack.

Jiang Fan held the gun with both hands, the tips slightly lowered, aiming at the leopard's head.

A man and a leopard faced off on the fog-shrouded shore.

Faint shouts came from the direction of the dormitory building in the distance, but Jiang Fan's attention was completely focused on the enemy in front of him.

The leopard moved.

Instead of charging in a straight line, it darted out laterally at an astonishing speed, moving rapidly around Jiang Fan, its amber-red eyes always locked on him, searching for an opening.

Jiang Fan held the spear steadily with both hands, the tip of the spear slightly adjusting with the movement of the leopard, his breathing steady and his mind highly focused.

The standoff lasted only a few seconds.

The leopard suddenly accelerated and pounced from the side and rear!

Jiang Fan twisted his waist and turned around, his spear thrusting out like a poisonous dragon, aiming straight for the leopard's throat.

The leopard twisted in mid-air in an incredible manner, dodging the gun tip, and slapped Jiang Fan's arm with its front paws.

Jiang Fan couldn't stop his gun in time and could only parry with his arm.

"Sizzle!"

The rattan armor blocked the cutting of the claws, but the enormous force made Jiang Fan's arm go numb, and his body staggered backward.

The leopard didn't stop after landing and pounced again.

Jiang Fan gritted his teeth, advancing instead of retreating, changing his spear from a thrust to a sweep, aiming for the leopard's waist and abdomen.

The leopard leaped nimbly, soaring over the gun barrel and kicking Jiang Fan in the chest with its hind legs.

"Bang!"

The kick landed squarely, and Jiang Fan grunted as he was sent flying backward, his back slamming heavily against a tree trunk. A sweet taste rose in his throat.

The leopard swayed slightly after landing, and blood seeped from beneath its golden fur where it had been struck by the gun barrel on its side.

It was completely enraged, letting out a deafening roar. Its crimson eyes blazed with ferocity as it charged forward again, faster than before!

Jiang Fan endured the excruciating pain and tried to raise his gun, but found that his arm was numb and trembling from the impact and the previous block.

The leopard's gaping maw rapidly enlarged in their field of vision.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp whooshing sound suddenly rang out!
