Agile Big Cat!

This time, he leaped nearly five meters. When he landed again after exhausting his strength, Victor used the same trick as before, landing on his hands and feet one after the other to propel himself into the air again, and this time even faster than before.

Instead of running like an ordinary person, Victor pounced forward on all fours like a wild Beast.

However, this strange running style made him incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, after several leaps, Victor had already rushed to a spot a dozen meters away from where they had been, under the large tree that had just emitted gunfire.

About two meters away from the tree, Victor landed on the ground again with both hands. He showed no sign of stopping and pushed off the ground with even more force than before. Using the momentum, his upper body quickly rose up, and his body quickly changed from a horizontal position to a position where his body was tilted forward at a 45-degree angle.

Immediately, Victor landed on his feet, his well-developed leg muscles contracted sharply, and his bent legs sprang open instantly. The immense force propelled Victor forward and upward like Rocket, accelerating rapidly.

This time, the height of the leap far exceeded that of the previous one, reaching nearly three meters. Just as the upward momentum began to weaken, Victor's hands were already pressed against the thick trunk of the tree, and ten sharp claws pierced deep into the bark, helping to firmly fix his hands in place.

Before his ascending body had completely stopped, Victor gripped the tree trunk with both hands and pulled himself up again, like a pull-up.

Like a nimble and swift big cat, Victor leaped up a tree more than ten meters high in a few bounds, his figure disappearing into the dense canopy.

Soon, a scream came from the tree canopy, followed by the sound of something falling and hitting the branches and leaves, and a dull thud of a heavy object hitting the ground.

Just then, another loud gunshot rang out. Zachary Taylor's expression changed, but before he could react, he heard another bullet pierce flesh in front of him.

"James!"

Zachary Taylor's expression changed drastically. He shouted excitedly and tried to pull James away from him by gripping his shoulders tightly, but to no avail. He couldn't budge James at all. Then, to his astonishment, James, who had been shot again, turned around and gave him a warm smile as if nothing had happened. Zachary Taylor simply couldn't reconcile this smile with the image of someone who had been shot twice.

"Are you alright?! Get out of the way, hide!"

Without thinking about what was going on, Zachary Taylor urged James on, only to find that James smiled at him and then turned back to look ahead.

Seeing this, Zachary Taylor peeked out from behind James and looked in the direction he was looking.

Victor's agile figure suddenly leaped out from the canopy of a large tree, gliding through the air like a cheetah, covering four or five meters in the blink of an eye, and disappearing into the canopy of another tree.

The same screams and thuds rang out again, and this time Zachary Taylor finally saw clearly that it was a man with Musket falling from the treetop.

After that, no more gunshots were heard, but Victor and James listened intently for a long time to make sure there were no other enemies before they lifted the alert. Victor jumped down from the tree in a few leaps, and James also jumped off Zachary Taylor's horse and returned to his own horse.

With James no longer blocking his way, Zachary Taylor saw the scene ahead. After only glancing at the two motionless corpses lying under two trees a dozen meters away, Taylor quickly turned to James, who had returned to his horse, and asked him with concern.

"Kid, are you alright?"

James sensed Zachary Taylor's worry, smiled calmly at him, looked down at his shirt with two holes from the bullets, grabbed the collar with both hands, and ripped it open. The sturdy fabric broke under his force, revealing strong, muscular muscles hidden beneath the clothes, as if cast in steel and full of explosive power.

"Have you forgotten that I am invincible devil warrior!"

James spoke casually, as if joking, but Zachary Taylor stared in shock as he saw James's chest exposed after he tore open his shirt.

There were clearly two bullet holes in James's outer clothes, meaning that the two bullets did hit him. However, at this moment, the area on his chest where the holes in his clothes were was completely intact, without any signs of injury.

"How... how is this possible?"

Zachary Taylor was incredulous. He was certain that the two bullets had indeed hit James, because he was right behind James at the time. He clearly heard the sound of the bullets hitting flesh when they struck, and the two holes in James's previously intact clothes also confirmed this. But now the facts were clear: James was indeed completely unharmed.

Zachary Taylor had always thought the rumors circulating in the military that the two were invulnerable to bullets and blades were just rumors, that the two were just incredibly lucky and miraculously escaped all harm under God's protection. Now it seems that he was wrong. The rumors were true, and the two were not simply lucky.

These two little guys are truly invulnerable!

James ignored the shocked Zachary Taylor, took out a new set of clothes from the bag hanging behind his saddle and changed into them. Then, together with Victor, who had returned and mounted his horse, they continued riding forward, as if the attack had had no effect on them at all.

How did you know there were enemies in the tree?

Seeing that neither of them intended to explain, Zachary Taylor had no choice but to suppress his shock and doubt for the time being, and followed them on horseback. After getting closer, Zachary Taylor glanced at the two corpses of the attackers, who were clearly bandits in their clothing, and then asked about another question that had been bothering him.

It's worth noting that even he himself hadn't noticed anything unusual, which made Zachary Taylor, who had just boasted about his extensive experience and knowledge in front of the two boys, feel extremely embarrassed.

This time, James answered him very decisively.

"We heard birds chirping from the trees on both sides of the road as we walked, but the chirping stopped suddenly when we got here, so we concluded that someone was hiding in the trees!"
