After Hong Zhou signaled everyone to stop, he whispered: "It seems that this is the tiger's cave." He pointed to seven or eight people and said: "You guys will go in with me, and the rest of you will stay here to guard.
The hole should be closed to prevent the tiger from escaping, and fireworks should be set off immediately to invite people nearby to come over."
"Yes." One of the guards agreed, took out the fireworks from his sleeve, and was about to light them when he suddenly smelled a smelly smell, as if blowing from the left. He turned around in confusion and saw
A pair of green light spots stared at him. Before he could understand it, a tiger's roar suddenly sounded in his ears, followed by a sharp tearing pain in his chest and abdomen. He reluctantly lowered his head to look. When he saw it clearly, he was immediately stunned.
He saw a clear white-fronted tiger biting his chest and abdomen. The next moment, he had passed out.
When they heard the tiger roar, Hong Zhou and others also discovered the tiger hiding in the dark, but it was too late. They could only watch the guard being bitten by the tiger. They only saw the footprints at the entrance of the cave.
, but ignored that there was a series of footsteps heading out at the edge of the cave. It was most likely that the tiger was not full, so it came to look for food again.
Seeing the tiger suddenly appearing in front of him, Yong Zhang's expression suddenly changed. He raised his bow and arrow and shouted: "Prepare your bow and arrow, be careful not to let it get close."
Hearing this, Hong Zhou hurriedly said: "Be careful not to hurt its vital parts. You must capture it alive!"
Before he finished speaking, the tiger roared towards him. With so many people and weapons in hand, it was not difficult to deal with a tiger. However, because of the word "capture alive", they were restrained and did not dare to attack its vital points.
, after a fierce fight, he was at a disadvantage.
Although Hong Zhou shot the tiger in the leg, it aroused the tiger's ferocity even more, wounding three of them in succession, and even Yongzhang was almost injured under its claws. Hong Zhou's face was ashen and authentic: "You evil beast, I really think that
I can’t cure you, can’t I?!”
Saying this, he actually faced the tiger alone, which made everyone frightened. Fortunately, Hong Zhou was very skilled and did not confront the tiger head-on. Instead, he fought with it, hoping to exhaust its strength, and then
Try to catch him again.
Everyone watched the scene of a man-tiger fight nervously, and did not realize that the danger was approaching. It was not until one person screamed that they realized that another tiger appeared behind them. Before they could react, the tiger
He shook his head and threw the person in his mouth away, then opened his bloody mouth and bit another person.
These two tigers, a male and a female, lived together in a cave. When the female tiger heard the male tiger roaring outside, she walked out of the cave. She was very smart and knew how to sneak attack and injured both of them at once.
One tiger had already caused them a lot of headaches before, and now adding another one made it even more difficult. After a while, two more people were killed. They wanted to ask for help, but the fireworks were lost and they could not notify them.
Seeing that their people were injured one after another in the tiger's mouth, Yong Zhang said with a pale face: "If this continues, we will all die, we have to find a way to kill it!"
"The emperor has confessed that he must be captured..." Before the guard could finish speaking, Yongzhang had already said: "The emperor only needs a tiger's heart, and it is enough to capture one alive."
The guards thought about it, and immediately stopped holding back, and tried their best to kill. Not long after, scars appeared on the female tiger's body. The pain was so painful that it kept roaring. When the male tiger saw this, he flicked his tail hard and knocked Hong Zhou down.
Then he quickly ran to the tigress and retreated to the entrance of the cave together.
Hong Zhou reluctantly stood up, grabbed the bow and arrow from one of the guards, and put the two arrows on the fully drawn bowstring. When he let go, the two arrows flew through the night like meteors chasing the moon. Then,
An earth-shattering tiger roar rang in everyone's ears. The female tiger had an arrow stuck in each eye, and blood kept flowing from its eye sockets. The next moment, it turned around and ran towards the cave. The male tiger took Zhentian with him.
The roar of the tiger rushed towards Hong Zhou and others, its force was so fierce that it was frightening. Hong Zhou knew that his actions had completely angered the tiger. With their current situation, it was almost impossible to capture it alive.
It's over.
He made a prompt decision, and while dodging the male tiger's attack, the remaining seven people said: "I will deal with this male tiger. You immediately go into the cave and capture the female tiger alive. It is blind, so it should not be difficult to deal with it. Remember Qian
You must be captured alive!"
"My subordinates will stay here to help you!" Before Ning Er could finish his words, Hong Zhou had already shouted: "No, I can handle it. All of you must go into the cave. No violations are allowed, otherwise you will be punished for disobedience!"
Seeing his insistence, Ning Er had no choice but to enter the cave with everyone else. Yong Zhang glanced at Hong Zhou with a complicated expression and followed him inside. It was very dark inside, and the light from the fire can only illuminate a few feet in radius. The cave was very long.
, everyone walked for a long time without reaching the bottom, because the sound of nervous and rapid breathing rang in everyone's ears.
At this time, there was a slight noise from the front, as if something was shouting. Ning Er whispered: "Be careful, it should be right in front."
Those people nodded secretly and gripped the hilts of their knives hard. Because the cave was not suitable for archery, they all changed their weapons to steel knives before entering the cave. One of them also carried a rope used to catch tigers.
After walking for a while, three pairs of green eyes suddenly appeared in front of them. Seeing this scene, Ning Er and others felt their scalps numb. Could it be that in addition to the blind female tiger, there were three tigers in the cave?
If that's the case, they really can't get in or out this time.
However, those three pairs of eyes just stared at them and did not rush towards them. After the guard cautiously passed the fire fold forward, he finally saw the owner of the three pairs of eyes. The moment he saw clearly, the seven people all looked the same.
The ground breathed a sigh of relief.
There were indeed three tigers in the cave, but they were all cubs, so there was nothing to worry about. The blind female tiger was curled up next to the three cubs. When she smelled their scent, her beard and hair spread, and she kept letting out low roars.
Voice.
Everyone stopped, and Ning Er took a step back, came to Yong Zhang's side, and whispered: "Third Brother, although this tigress is at the end of her strength, she may go crazy in a hurry, so you'd better retreat."
Open a little to avoid getting hurt."
Yong Zhang's eyes flashed slightly and he said: "I can take care of myself, you don't have to worry. The most important thing now is to capture this tigress so that Dr. Tao can cure Huang Aniang!"
Seeing what he said, Ning Er stopped talking, gestured to the remaining people, and walked slowly over. As they approached, the tigress stood up unsteadily, and the cubs also did the same.
Showing the intention to pounce.
"Enter!" The man and the tiger rushed toward each other almost at the same time. Although the female tiger was blind, her power in the cave did not decrease. In addition, the tiger cubs were causing trouble on the side. Even with their size,
It was not enough to seriously hurt them, but occasionally they were bitten, and a small piece of meat would still be taken away. One guard was bitten on the calf by a tiger. In pain, he stabbed the tiger with a backhand knife, and the latter let out a mournful cry.
