228: Battle against mutant snow leopards

At this moment, a massive Snow Leopard was perched on Pan Han's head.

The small rock from earlier was just it moving slightly, causing it to fall!

The Snow Leopard in front of Pan Han had a slender and agile body, completely snow-white and gleaming with a cold light.

Its eyes were as bright as emeralds, revealing a fierce glint.

It stood about one meter tall, measured over two meters long, and possessed tight, powerful muscles, exuding a wildness and strength.

Its face had a pair of sharp and sensitive pupils, and its ears were perked up, keenly capturing surrounding sounds.

Hidden within its mouth was a set of strong teeth, which it bared at Pan Han, its fangs flashing with a cold light.

"Holy crap!" Pan Han's back went cold, and he broke out in a sweat after clearly seeing it.

"How long has this damn thing been staring at me? I didn't even notice!" As he spoke, Pan Han drew his dagger, ready to fight.

Seeing that it had been discovered, the Snow Leopard calmly descended, slowly pacing in front of Pan Han.

To it, this human in front of it was already its prey; playing with him for a bit wouldn't be bad.

Pan Han steadied himself, vigilantly watching the approaching Snow Leopard.

He gripped the dagger tightly in his hand, ready to respond to the Snow Leopard's attack at any moment.

The Snow Leopard gradually approached, its steps light and nimble, as if dancing before a hunt.

Its gaze sharply scanned Pan Han, and the corners of its mouth curled slightly, revealing a hint of mocking amusement.

Pan Han felt the fierce aura emanating from the Snow Leopard, but he didn't flinch.

Because he simply couldn't outrun it!

This was too much!

Why didn't the Twelve Palaces mention that there were monsters waiting in the blizzard?

The Snow Leopard stopped in front of Pan Han, the green light in its eyes flickering, as if observing his every move.

Pan Han took a deep breath, quickly assessing the confrontation with the Snow Leopard.

Running was definitely out of the question; he could only brace himself and go for it!

"Screw you!" With a roar, Pan Han emboldened himself and lunged forward with his knife!

Clang!

The dagger struck the Snow Leopard's head, bounced off, and Pan Han's tiger's mouth cracked!

Looking at the Snow Leopard again, it was completely unharmed, as if nothing had happened!

"Woof!" The Snow Leopard let out an unrestrained roar, as if mocking Pan Han!

"Laugh at your grandpa!" Pan Han quickly picked up his backpack and rope.

He wore the backpack on his chest, with the rope horizontally across the front of the backpack.

The Snow Leopard sneered and directly pounced.

Pan Han seized the opportunity and looped the rope over the Snow Leopard's head.

It was a perfect snare!

The Snow Leopard's head entered the loop steadily, and Pan Han pulled hard, instantly tightening the rope.

The Snow Leopard instantly became enraged, shaking its head vigorously!

Pan Han refused to let go, gripping on for dear life!

This time, the Twelve Palaces finally did something useful!

This rope was surprisingly sturdy; the Snow Leopard struggled for a long time but couldn't break free.

However, this fierce beast was also smart; seeing that it couldn't break free, it simply changed direction and pounced at Pan Han again.

Pan Han pushed off with his feet, leaping several meters high, landing squarely on the Snow Leopard's back.

The Snow Leopard immediately went into a berserk mode, constantly jumping, trying to shake Pan Han off.

Thus, one person and one leopard entered a phase of mutual struggle.

After a few jumps, Pan Han remained firmly seated on its back, so the Snow Leopard had to change its strategy.

It desperately slammed itself against the cliff of the hill, and Pan Han was hit hard a few times.

He felt dizzy, disoriented, and saw stars!

But the rope tightened even more, and the Snow Leopard's breathing became heavy; it tried to use its paws to unlock the rope.

"Holy mother of god!" Pan Han suddenly roared, kicking hard at the Snow Leopard's head.

If the opponent dodged, it would be strangled even tighter by the rope; if it didn't dodge, it would have to endure his flying kick!

It was a dilemma!

However, the Snow Leopard didn't hesitate and chose to take the hit directly.

Thwack!

One kick landed!

Thwack, thwack, thwack!

Three consecutive kicks landed!

The Snow Leopard finally started to retreat, wanting to turn and run.

Pan Han wouldn't let it, and rode on its back again.

However, this time he underestimated the Snow Leopard's power!

This fellow directly carried Pan Han towards the forest, moving at lightning speed, even tearing a gap in the blizzard!

"This is bad!" Pan Han immediately felt cold all over.

Checking his wristband, it was already -60℃!

The biting wind was bone-chilling.

After running for a few more seconds, the temperature dropped to -70℃!

While still conscious, Pan Han immediately retrieved two sets of thermal underwear from his spatial storage and, by manipulating his consciousness, put them on!

"Damn it, you forced me to cheat!" With the thermal underwear, Pan Han instantly felt much warmer.

The Snow Leopard's speed was indeed fast; after a few more seconds, they were already back in the small woods.

Checking his wristband, it had indeed reached -100℃!

Pan Han instantly retrieved another two sets of thermal underwear and put them on, but his nose and eyes were almost unable to open.

Now, every breath he took felt like his lungs were being cut by a knife.

His eyes were also a bit blurry.

Pan Han quickly closed his eyes, stopped breathing, then retrieved a scarf and wrapped it around his face.

In terms of holding his breath, Pan Han could last 20 minutes.

But in combat, oxygen consumption was too high, so he could only last a maximum of 1 minute.

He had to deal with the Snow Leopard within this time.

However, Pan Han wasn't the only one facing difficulties; the Snow Leopard was also struggling to breathe.

It originally wanted to run into the forest and freeze Pan Han to death.

But it didn't expect the person on its back to be a cheater!

Four sets of thermal underwear and a neck warmer, for crying out loud!

Where did they all come from?

Since it couldn't freeze him to death for now, it could only try to get him off.

So it looked around and found a sharp, protruding rock on the ground.

The Snow Leopard aimed its direction and charged straight for the sharpest point, intending to impale Pan Han there.

Pan Han saw that things were bad; he absolutely couldn't take this hit directly!

He quickly let go, slid off the Snow Leopard's back, and fell heavily to the ground.

The fall itself wasn't the problem, but he couldn't help but open his mouth, and the cold air penetrated through the scarf, directly into his lungs!

The pain made Pan Han gasp, enduring the intense pain, he took a few more breaths, then quickly held his breath again.

The Snow Leopard wasn't doing well either; it had used too much force earlier and couldn't stop when it reached the rock.

It crashed hard into it!

However, the rope finally loosened!

The Snow Leopard instantly regained its vitality, let out a long howl at the sky, and stared fiercely at Pan Han.

Pan Han also stood up, his hands guarding his chest, staring intently at the Snow Leopard.

The final showdown was about to begin!

The Snow Leopard adopted an attacking stance, let out a low growl, its eyes spitting fury, determined to tear Pan Han to shreds!

"Woof!" The Snow Leopard dug its claws into the ground and charged out fiercely.

Pan Han remained still, focusing on the Snow Leopard's position and speed.

At the moment of contact, Pan Han stored the Snow Leopard into his spatial storage, then instantly retrieved it.

Thud, the Snow Leopard's corpse fell heavily to the ground.

Lifeless!

"You're forcing me to cheat again, damn it!" Pan Han cursed inwardly.

"You little rascal, as long as you're alive, I have a way to take you down.

Stupid, aren't you!" Not satisfied with just one curse, Pan Han spat fiercely at the Snow Leopard's corpse!

Pan Han endured the pain and took a few more breaths.

Then he quickly dragged the Snow Leopard's corpse to the large rock.

He surveyed his surroundings, preparing to use the rock as a base and the wood from the forest to build a small shelter.
