Chapter 7 Orion
This series of operations may seem complicated, but in fact it only takes the blink of an eye.
In the eyes of Chang'an and Jili who were watching, their mother just met each other and pushed the wild boar to the ground, biting the back of its neck and not letting go, letting the other person struggle under her body.
Seeing this scene, the little tiger Geely jumped for joy and kept jumping on the spot.
Chang'an, on the other hand, was much calmer. He stood silently and scanned the surroundings, as if he was preparing for his mother, wary of any third-party threats that might appear.
This was absolutely impossible for Chang'an half a month ago.
At that time, it was as playful and active as Geely, even more so.
But now, under the reinforcement of gray mist, Chang'an not only has improved his IQ, but his mind seems to have become much more mature.
"As expected of my chosen tiger!"
Lin Zhongtian examined Chang'an's movements with satisfaction.
At this moment, an undetectable whisper came from the shrubs and low vegetation not far away.
Lin Zhongtian was stunned for a moment, and then reacted instantly.
"It's human!"
Lin Zhongtian's eyes lit up and he immediately jumped to the nearby tree.
Repeatedly, he reached the top of his head where the sound came from in the blink of an eye.
Looking down, a man wearing simple leather armor, holding a hunting bow, and a machete at his waist was squatting behind a tree, carefully observing the outside through the gaps between weeds and shrubs.
"Grandpa Mountain God bless, Grandpa Mountain God bless..."
"I beg you, boss, to show mercy and keep me safe during this trip."
Seeing this scene of a tiger hunting a wild boar, Li Erhu broke into cold sweat on his forehead. While praying to the mountain god in his heart, he clenched the family hunting bow in his hand and backed away as slowly as possible.
As a hunter from Stone Village at the foot of Yingzui Mountain, Li Erhu is very familiar with this mountain.
He knows every plant, tree, flower and stone in the mountains.
With his strong physique, hunting bow in hand, and skillful trap skills, there are few wild beasts in this mountain that Li Erhu dare not provoke, but today he encountered two.
One is the undisputed overlord of this mountain, the adult female tiger.
The other one was the wild boar king weighing six hundred kilograms who died in the tiger's mouth.
According to his past understanding of these two beasts, the two sides have always been at odds with each other.
As long as you get close to the other party's territory and smell the other party's scent, both parties will retreat in tacit agreement.
Unexpectedly, the big insect actually broke this tacit understanding first and appeared in front of the Wild Boar King.
When he first saw this scene, Li Erhu was only surprised, but he couldn't say he was nervous or scared.
Because in addition to the wild boar king and the tiger, he also saw two cubs watching from behind.
And with its cubs, it is absolutely impossible for a tiger to attack a threatening target easily.
Li Erhu originally planned to sneak away quietly while the two ferocious beasts were confronting each other, but who would have thought that the ferocious tiger actually launched an attack without hesitation and killed the rampaging tiger with overwhelming strength? The long-lasting Boar King.
At this moment, Li Erhu realized something was wrong.
The tiger's strength and speed far exceeded his expectations.
The exaggerated reaction speed and flexibility even made him feel hopeless and helpless, feeling that even his proud archery skills could not hurt him in the slightest.
"Grandpa Mountain God, if I, Li Erhu, can go back alive today, I will definitely go to the temple and kowtow to you!"
Li Erhu was extremely nervous and kept praying to the mountain god.
But perhaps because he was too nervous, Li Erhu accidentally stepped on a dead branch while retreating.
"Creak..."
A slight voice sounded, and Li Erhu froze there, and cold sweat instantly wet his back.
Not far away, Chang An, who had always been alert, caught this subtle abnormal sound.
It turned its head instantly and looked towards the direction of the sound.
"Ouch!!"
The roar of a tiger with a milky sound echoed through the mountains and forests.
Li Erhu suddenly became excited and felt numb all over his body. A wave of hot blood surged into his heart and spread throughout his body at an extremely fast speed as his heart beat.
Without any hesitation, Li Erhu got up and ran away.
But how could his running speed be comparable to that of a tiger strengthened by gray mist.
Before he could run a few steps, a gust of evil wind roared past him and stopped in front of him.
Li Erhu quickly stopped and took a closer look. He saw that it was a half-sized tiger cub.
"Hmph, forget it if it's your mother. How dare a half-grown tiger cub block my way?"
Li Erhu said harsh words, but he felt a little nervous in his heart for some reason.
Mountain people who can make a living as hunters have always been courageous.
Especially a lone ranger like Li Erhu who relies on bravery will not lack the courage to face danger directly.
Although he felt a little uneasy in his heart, Li Erhu still raised his hunting bow without hesitation and shot an arrow at the half-grown tiger cub at the fastest speed in his life.
"call out--"
With a harsh sound piercing the air, an arrow shot towards the little tiger's head like lightning.
The little tiger's eyes were cold and indifferent. He exploded before the arrow came, jumped diagonally to avoid the arrow, and then ran towards him at a speed that Li Erhu couldn't react at all.
In just a moment, the little tiger came in front of him, jumped up and waved his claws.
A strong sense of crisis came to his mind, causing Li Erhu to subconsciously raise his hunting bow to resist.
"laugh--"
The tiger's claws swung by, and the tough bow arm instantly broke in half.
The tough animal skin tied to the forearm did not play any defensive role, and was easily torn by the small claws.
Fortunately, the little tiger was not that big and its claws were not as long as those of an adult tiger. After breaking through the layers of tough animal skin, only four blood marks were left on Li Erhu's forearm.
"ah!!"
Li Erhu roared angrily, and quickly pulled out the machete from his waist with one hand. Regardless of the risk of being bitten, the other hand suddenly pinched the little tiger's neck, trying to pin it to the ground. After controlling it, Kill him with one more knife.
But the little tiger was much more flexible than he thought. He just twisted around and escaped from his grasp.
Li Erhu knew something was wrong. He stared with red eyes and swung the machete in his hand hard, trying to force the little tiger back.
He did succeed. The little tiger in front of him seemed to be very aware of the power of metal. He kept dodging when he slashed and retreated seven steps away from him in a few leaps.
"Roar--"
At the same time, two other tigers had also surrounded him.
The three tigers stood in three directions respectively, trapping Li Erhu in the middle.
Seeing this situation, Li Erhu felt endless despair in his heart, but he soon calmed down.
As an Orion, he was prepared to die in the mountains from the first day he entered the mountains.
It was not his character to be captured without mercy. Even if he was going to die, he would at least drag a tiger cub along with him.
"Come on! Tiger cubs, grandpa will fight with you!"
Li Erhu roared with red eyes, changed the machete from his left hand to his right, then slowly retreated, leaning against a thick pine tree to confront the three tigers.
At this moment, the three tigers, who were still looking fierce and eager to try, suddenly restrained their murderous aura.
The adult tiger, which was the largest and most threatening, opened its mouth and yawned, licked the pig blood that had not yet dried on its chin, turned around as if nothing had happened, and walked towards the body of the Wild Boar King.
That nonchalant look made Li Erhu feel stunned for a moment.
"How is this going?"
Li Erhu was confused and completely confused about the situation in front of him.
It wasn't until the little tiger that had hurt him ran happily to the nearby woods that he discovered with horror that there was a tall stone man standing there beside a big tree ten meters away, watching him quietly. .
Li Erhu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened as he looked at the tall stone man and couldn't help blurting out:
"Mountain...Grandpa Mountain God?!"
