At this time, the South China tiger had stood up completely from the boulder, its front legs bent, as if it was about to pounce.
At this time, I couldn't think of a way at all. I could only place my hope on Ban Cuntou, but I saw that there was no look of fear on his face. This was completely calm from the bottom of his heart, regardless of any danger.
The mirror will not panic.
I suddenly became curious about this man. I heard that he retired from the special forces because he made a mistake, and we had been together for a long time. What did he do in the first place?
At this moment, I suddenly found that the South China tiger's movements were a bit strange. Although it made a pounce action, it never pounced down. It just stared at me with a pair of tiger eyes, a little eager to welcome me.
Still refusing.
Ban Cun Tou seemed to have noticed this, and looked at me strangely. After a moment of silence, he said, "My young prince, is there something about you that makes him feel afraid?"
"No, I didn't bring anything except a spray gun." I was also very confused. When I got off the boat, I had left all the equipment behind, except for the clothes I was wearing, which was a pistol. This tiger
Is it smart enough to sense that this black thing in my hand can pose a fatal threat to it?
"My young prince, I'm not wrong. This tiger must have felt threatened by you, so it didn't dare to pounce on you. Think carefully about whether there is anything special about you."
"Something special?" Suddenly, I remembered something that I had forgotten for a long time. The black shadow that Shuiyue and I saw in the stone forest outside the stone city under the Qinling Mountains. That thing made even Shuiyue feel scared, even mentioning it
She didn't even dare to name her. She said that when night comes, that thing will appear, and only the eyes of a tiger can see it. And the same thing was said in the note Li Dalongtou left for me before entering the Tai Chi Tomb in Henan.
I uttered such a sentence. I shivered. Could it be that some weird thing has been following me?
This idea shocked me, and when I thought about it, I thought it was impossible. If there is something that has been following me, how could I not see it? I don’t believe there is any invisibility or the like.
Weird doorway.
At this time, Ban Cuntou next to me touched my elbow and said in a low voice: "Little prince, look around you."
I turned my head and glanced to the other side. There was the river a foot away from my feet, but there was nothing except my reflection.
"Reflection?" The hairs all over my body stood up instantly, and I discovered that the shadow in the water was a little different from mine. I quickly turned off the flashlight, but the reflection was still clear and distinguishable in the dark environment.
This discovery is shocking. Everyone knows that shadows are reflected by light sources. There is no shadow at all without a light source. However, the shadows in the river are always very clear. I even have a weird feeling.
It feels like the shadow is staring at me, just like the shadow I saw in my dream. It has been slowly approaching me, but it can't get to me.
But now this shadow is even more stressful than the black shadow in the dream. After all, it is actually seen when you are fully awake. Just imagine, no matter what you do, where you go, or even when you sleep, there are people around you.
There is a shadow staring at you all the time, and you can't get rid of it. Just thinking about it makes people feel creepy.
"Little prince, it seems that something has been following you. Didn't you never know about it?" Ban Cuntou looked at me with squinted eyes, and sometimes turned to the river, but his expression was very indifferent.
I shook my head. In fact, I knew it a long time ago, but I never thought it would appear next to me. I also never felt its existence. Now that I suddenly discovered it, I felt an unacceptable feeling.
.
At this time, I suddenly remembered what the old man asked Wang Kui to bring to me. He said that no matter where I go, I am not alone, and maybe he will appear in front of me when I least expect it. This sentence exactly said it.
Given my current experience, is the old man reminding me of something?
My state of mind is completely confused now, my head is like a mess, and the shadow in the river is still twisting strangely, crawling over like a monster with teeth and claws.
At this time, the South China tiger on the rock suddenly made a new move. It lowered its head and roared twice, then suddenly jumped down from the top and rushed directly towards the river.
We all know that it pounces on the black shadow. I still have some hope in my heart, hoping that the tiger can help me solve this thing. But I forgot one thing. The black shadow is in the river. The South China tiger plops and stabs me.
When I entered the river, I seemed to be frightened. I rolled violently in the river and finally climbed up the bank. Ignoring the two of us, I ran away behind the rocks like a frightened rabbit.
It was scared away. Losing this huge threat should have been a happy thing, but I couldn't be happy at all. Compared to the South China tiger, the black shadow was even more chilling.
I turned to the river, and the black shadow had disappeared, but my heart was already shrouded by a dark cloud. I always had an ominous feeling that the black shadow would eventually become a serious problem for me.
We continued to move forward with the tow rope, and walked for another half an hour. We stopped when we were far enough away from the ranger post.
Wang Kui on the boat called us on board, but I suddenly heard roars coming from the woods above. I knew that the familiar voice was the South China tiger I had just encountered. I suddenly felt curious and listened to the sound.
The South China tiger seems to be very frightened. Is it in danger?
Because of a small connection I had made before, I couldn't help but walk up. Pan Cuntou was afraid that something would happen to me and followed me. The slope up here was very steep, and it took a lot of effort with my hands and feet to climb up. There were woods above.
Although it is not very tall, it is entangled with the surrounding shrubs and is very difficult to walk.
I shined a flashlight inside and focused the light at the farthest point. Soon I found the South China tiger. We saw it squatting on the ground with its butt sticking out high, but its head was hidden in a big tree.
Behind it, we can't see what it's doing.
"Young prince, let's go back. This has nothing to do with us. This thing is too dangerous." Ban Boutou advised me.
I shook my head and walked over cautiously. I felt that this South China tiger was a bit strange. Why would it bark so frightenedly if it was not in danger.
I stopped about ten meters away from the tiger, picked up a stone and threw it over. The stone hit the tiger, but it didn't react at all and lay there motionless.
There must be something wrong. Tigers are the most keen and alert. It is impossible that they cannot detect such a big movement. If they are indifferent, they must be physically unable to move.
I walked over at a faster pace, and only after I walked around to the front of it from the other side did I discover the truth.
There is a mud pit on the ground at the base of the tree. It looks like it has just been dug out. There is a young tiger next to the pit, but it is already dead. It was bitten to death, with only a layer of skin attached to its neck.
, but the big tiger's mouth was full of blood and tiger hair. It was obvious that the young tiger died from the big tiger's mouth.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. This young tiger must be the child of the big tiger, but why did it bite its own child to death? Tigers are poisonous and do not eat their own children. If there is no special reason, it will not do this.
The South China tiger's head was buried in the big pit. It seemed that it felt someone was approaching. It reluctantly opened its eyes and looked over. The eyes had lost their luster, but I could actually understand the emotions in its eyes, which were somewhat innocent and innocent.
Unjustly accused.
It struggled a few times, but failed to get up. It could only lie on the ground, its eyes slowly closed, and it died without much effort.
Ban Cuntou and I looked at each other, neither of us understanding what was going on. Why did this South China tiger die? Why did it bite its own child before it died? What did its innocent eyes mean?
Ban Cuntou pointed to the mud pit and said, "It seems to be looking for something."
I took a look and saw that the pit was more than three feet deep, but there was nothing in it. Out of curiosity, I jumped down and dug down along the traces. As a result, I only dug less than a foot before I saw a crystal-like crystal.
.
Taking it out and placing it in the palm of my hand, I found that the crystal was no bigger than a pigeon egg. It was tapered at the top and rounded at the bottom. It looked like a teardrop, and there was a small bump near the middle. After careful identification, it turned out to be in the shape of a tiger's head.
"What is this? Do you know?" I asked Ban Tou.
He shook his head, his eyes full of surprise. "Go back and ask the boss, he might know."
Out of sympathy, I buried the South China tiger and its cubs in a big pit. Then the two of us returned to the boat. Xiaojiu started the diesel engine again, and the boat quickly sailed towards the hinterland of Nanling again.
"This is the power of a tiger!" Wang Kui said in surprise as soon as he saw the teardrop-shaped crystal in my hand, with a hint of envy in his eyes.
After he told me, I found out that this tiger power is produced by the condensation of the tiger's gaze. It is a very mysterious thing. It is said that this kind of thing has the effect of warding off evil spirits. If you carry it with you, ordinary evil spirits will not dare to
It's close to you, and it's very intimidating to some creatures. As you can tell by the name, this thing has the aura and smell of a tiger. The tiger is the king of beasts, so it's naturally very intimidating.
As soon as they heard that this was a treasure, the fat man and the monkey became a little uneasy. "Damn it, not only is everything fine when you meet a tiger, you can actually pick up such a good thing. Little prince, why are you so lucky? Why?
"Gua Ye, I walked all the way, and I got two big blisters on my feet. I was as tired as a dead dog, and I didn't see anything in the end?" The fat man yelled, "It's unfair."
I rolled my eyes at him. If I was given another chance, I would rather choose to be like him. After what happened just now, my heart was always shrouded in shadow. This feeling was really uncomfortable.
