Chapter 1243: Night Battle

Brother Wolf had spotted the five little animals.
There were too many people in the camp and Li Du had been worried that the five animals would cause trouble. After all, those little ones enjoyed making trouble. Hence, during the day, he had tied them up to restrict their movements to the tent.
The five, therefore, were restricted and frustrated. However, Li Du had also been afraid that they would meet with trouble at the same time. Hence, he had also kept a close watch on them and had not been able to roam too far away in the day.
By nighttime, they had lost their will to play around. After being with Li Du for so long, they have become smart and developed the thinking skills of men. However, they did not like moving around under dim light.
That went against the usual instincts of animals. Animals normally loved hunting at night. One, it was because many kinds of prey would come out at night. Two, animals had simplistic thinking. They felt that they would be better hidden in the dark, but did not know that their prey would also be well camouflaged in the dark.
The five animals were aware of that. Hence, even without Li Du keeping an eye on them at night, they were also unwilling to run off. Hence, they only circled around the campsite.
However, what was the point of circling around? The five returned quickly and curled up by the tent to fall asleep.
They were dozing until Habri and his men came along.
The animals had already sensed that people were coming when Grande had first appeared. As there were some people roaming around, the five could not tell what he was there for. Hence, they paid little attention and only looked up to see him.
After Grande left, more people came along. Seeing that, the five animals perked up and stared at the group hungrily, hoping that they could cause some trouble for those people.
The men had not disappointed them. They had entered the campsite gingerly and it was easy to tell that they were up to no good.
Ah Ow sat up and wanted to rush over, but Ah Meow stopped her with its paws. Ah Meow looked at Ah Ow with authority. No hurry, let them walk into the trap and then we’ll rush over and give them trouble.
Upon entering the campsite, Habri and his group behaved more carefully and darted quietly for the telescopes.
The all-wood telescope stood on the ground, and its lens tube was like a gun barrel. It stood slanted, pointing to the starry sky.
Two of the young men wanted to disassemble the telescope but Grande held them back. He whispered, “Idiots, just lift it up and walk off. How much time will we waste trying to disassemble it? Are you trying to get us discovered?”
As Jesse had received the brunt of his scolding, he turned upset. He said, “Grande, you are not some kind of big boss. You better take note of your own attitude. Sh*t, I’ve been tolerating you for too long.”
Habri rolled his eyes angrily and pulled at the two of them. He said softly, “F*ck, hurry up and carry the telescope away. Are you guys so stupid that you want to fight right now?”
The all-wood telescope had a large lens and was made of pinewood. It was quite heavy, especially because it had a pine base. The base weighed around forty to fifty pounds.
They started to take action and lifted up the telescope slowly before walking off cautiously.
Ah Meow and his gang were now completely sure. Are these neighbors here to steal?
After sitting around for the entire day, there was finally an opportunity for them to do something. Ah Meow rushed out like a launched arrow and with a shh, jumped on the telescope.
The telescope was thick enough to be able to support Ah Meow and give it enough balance to move around on top. Hence, after jumping on top of it, Ah Meow reared up and hung onto the lens with its paws. It screamed, ‘MEOW!’
It was in the middle of the night and the environment had been dead silent. Hearing Ah Meow’s sudden snarl, the five young men were shocked.
It was especially so because they had been in the middle of attempted robbery. They were already afraid, to begin with, but with Ah Meow’s scream, they became even more scared.
A big cat had suddenly rushed before their eyes, and some of them were so shocked that they were about to let out a scream themselves.
However, they were not fools and knew that they must not alert anyone to what they were doing. Hence, they immediately covered their mouths to stop themselves from making any sound.
Initially, four men were carrying the telescope. One of them was in front, leading the way. As someone had let go, the telescope lost its balance and tipped over to the front. It fell and smashed on Grande’s feet.
Grande’s eyes widened and he opened his mouth to take in deep breaths. He used every ounce of energy to stop himself from letting out a scream of excruciating pain.
Habri, who was leading the way, turned around and saw Ah Meow, who was on top of the telescope. He scolded, “D*mn, where did this wretched cat come from? What a big cat! Get lost. Shoo, shoo, shoo!”
He rushed over to wave Ah Meow off. However, Ah Meow swiped with his tail and easily avoided Habri’s arm. In turn, Ah Meow clawed at him.
The claws of the ocelot were very sharp. With just one move of a paw, Habri’s sleeve was shredded and his arm was scratched.
Habri’s face contorted with, pain but Jesse who was beside him, reminded Habri, “Don’t scream!”
Grande clung to his leg and with the same contorted expression, he said, “D*mn, where did this bloody cat come from? Shoo it away, make it go away!”
Someone had removed his shirt to use it as a tool to beat up Ah Meow. Ah Meow had stopped striking and merely jumped around, avoiding the hits. You can’t hit me accurately, you can’t hit me…
When Ah Meow had rushed out, the rest of the animals could not stop themselves and ran out as well.
Ali had grown to be around one meter tall and had solid muscles. It had been practicing its punches and had long become a good fighter.
Hopping towards the man who was throwing his shirt around to shoo Ah Meow away, Ali threw a punch at him when it neared.
The man stepped onto the grass in two steps and slid to the ground. Crispy Noodles ran over in time and picked up a piece of a pebble from the ground. Then, he slammed it on the man’s face.
“HMPH!” the man let out a tormented sound. He held onto his face with both his hands he rolled around on the ground, moaning.
Grande immediately reminded the rest, “Don’t let out a sound. Let’s rush off. D*mnit, what is this stupid thing? Don’t scream, don’t alert anyone here. Otherwise, we will go to jail!”
Ali hopped in front of the men, and when it had a chance, it punched. One punch, then another. It was as though it was a punching performance. Ali made the men fall down upon the ground one after another.
The five youths were grievous at having been beaten. “What is this d*mned thing? This, this, this, is a kangaroo? How can there be a kangaroo?”
“It’s a kangaroo. That Chinese dude’s been walking around with a kangaroo. Let me have a look.”
“Shut up, I don’t care anymore about the telescope, let’s scram!”
“F*ck, my nose! What is this? How did it know how to use a tool? Is this a raccoon? D*mn raccoon!”
Crispy Noodles followed behind Ali. He would take the chance to strike at whoever had been brought down to the ground. Of course, sometimes they would be able to get up quickly and he would go into hiding instead.
It was too dark at night, and while the animals could see rather clearly, the eyes of the humans were not of much use.
Under that circumstance, the five young men had no way to strike back. They were all beaten up badly and ran off after throwing the telescope down.
They had not managed to take a few steps before someone tripped over something. He looked up and saw two green eyes. He became very afraid.
He could hold off no longer and let out a shriek, “Ah, a wolf!”
Grande could not run further. He felt like something was holding onto his pants. When he looked down, he saw an animal he had never seen before. It was on his leg.
Hearing the shrill screams of his friends, Grande knew that the situation had gone wrong. Hence, he kicked the animal away and wanted to run off himself.
However, he made a mistake with that kick. The animal grew extremely ferocious and after clinging to his calf, it started to claw at his thigh…
