Peng needed to learn where the lair of Dante and his men was. He tried asking the locals, but they had no clue where to find Dante's lair. Peng began to search the woods surrounding the village for any signs that would point him in the direction of Dante's lair, but he couldn't find any real tracks or clues about which way to go. He was fixing to head back to the village, when he heard some talking and the approach of footsteps. The snow leopard quickly climbed a nearby tree and looked down to see a crocodile and a wolf carrying sacks.
"Come on partner, we got to get back to the base before nightfall if we want to witness the execution of that snow leopard." Said the crocodile.
"I know. It'll be quite a show to see her burn to death." Said the wolf.
Peng felt his blood boil a little in anger as he heard this. The snow leopard leaped down from the tree to deliver a powerful kick to the crocodile's head! The crocodile let out a groan as his eyes rolled to the back of his head and he fell to his back unconscious. The wolf stared at his down partner and Peng in shock. The bandit dropped his bag and pulled out a knife to attack. Peng stood his ground as the wolf thrust his knife at him and he sidestepped it to deliver a chop to the bandit's hand knocking the knife away and into some bushes. The wolf let out a yelp as Peng slammed him against a tree.
"Tell me, where Dante's lair is!" Growled Peng.
"It's in an old military outpost a couple of miles away from here!" Cried the wolf in a frightened voice.
"Thank you." Said Peng as he delivered a chop to the wolf's neck and knocked him out.
Peng decided to stop by the village for a change of clothing that might help him out in his rescue. He bought some black clothes and a black bag, that he cut a slash through to make a mask to cover his face, but didn't cover his eyes. Satisfied with his outfit, Peng set out for Dante's lair.
