Chapter 53 Hunting Tigers and Encountering Evil Men
In the next few days, Zhao Ya kept wandering in the mountains and forests, looking for traces of alienated tigers and wild boars, but nothing was gained.
Zhao Ya had already expected this.
After all, even among ordinary wild beasts, tigers and wild boars are absolute beasts, let alone alienated ones.
Powerful alien beasts like this often have their own territory, and the mountains and forests within a radius of more than ten miles may belong to its sphere of influence.
No other strange beasts can enter at will.
This virtually increases the difficulty of searching.
But Zhao Ya was not discouraged, but went deeper and deeper.
Finally on this day, Zhao Ya made a discovery.
This is a dense mountain forest with a stream running through it, providing precious water sources for animals.
Zhao Ya was the clue found beside the stream.
This is an adult elk, with a strong body and sharp antlers. Ordinary beasts are no match for it.
But at this time, its neck was bitten off, its antlers were broken off with great force, and most of the flesh and blood on its body was gone, leaving only a skeleton covered with scars.
Based on these bite marks, Zhao Ya concluded that this should be the work of an adult tiger.
And it didn’t take long.
Because in this primeval forest, a corpse may not survive even three days before being eaten up by countless predators.
There is still some flesh and blood left on the elk carcass, so it cannot be more than two days old.
Zhao Ya was happy, as long as he found the trace, it would be easy.
Zhao Ya walked back and forth along both sides of the stream several times, and soon found some clues. Through these clues, he finally found the path often used by tigers.
When dealing with tigers, especially those that have been alienated, you cannot use ordinary traps.
After this period of research, Zhao Ya already has his own experience in setting traps.
He combined the rockfall trap with the platform trap to create a large and extremely lethal trap.
At the same time, Zhao Ya also put specially prepared bait in the trap.
A fried pheasant.
For wild animals, the temptation of cooked food is unimaginable.
What's more, it's fried.
After arranging all this, Zhao Ya hid and waited quietly.
This time he didn't have to wait long.
Within half an hour, a strong wind blew in the forest.
The smell is overpowering and disgusting.
Zhao Ya was overjoyed.
Because he knew that this was a sign before the tiger appeared.
As the saying goes, clouds follow the dragon and tigers follow the wind. Before the tiger appears, there will often be a strong wind.
This also declares to the mountains and forests its majesty as the king of beasts.
as expected.
After the strong wind passed, a colorful tiger that looked like an ox slowly walked out of the forest.
This is a tiger in its prime, its fur is shiny and shiny, and the muscle lines under the fur are faintly revealed when walking, full of explosive beauty.
Even Zhao Ya couldn't help but be shocked.
What a beautiful... big cat!
At the same time, the tiger also noticed the fried pheasant, and a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes.
This tiger has obviously been alienated, so its IQ is very high.
But no matter how low his IQ is, he is still a beast with fur and horns, and it is difficult to resist the temptation of this bait.
It was seen that it circled the bait a few times, as if to confirm whether there was any ambush around it. When it found that everything was normal, it suddenly pounced forward, intending to take the pheasant away.
But as soon as its front feet hit the ground, the trap was immediately activated, and several rocks the size of water tanks fell from the sky, rushing towards the tiger and hitting it.
The tiger moves very fast. When the situation is bad, he turns around and wants to run away. However, this trap is specially designed for it. How can it let it escape easily?
The wire cover that had been arranged in advance suddenly jumped up and just tied its hind feet, making it impossible for it to break free for a while.
At the same time, Zhao Ya drew his bow and arrow, aimed at the tiger's eye, and shot out.
With two whooshing sounds, the arrow hit the tiger's eyes.
The tiger let out a loud roar of pain and slapped its front paw, breaking a large tree as thick as a bowl next to it.
But Zhao Ya was not afraid, instead he picked up the sword and rushed over.
No matter how fierce this tiger is, it cannot be the opponent of Zhao Ya who is holding a sword.
Therefore, after several encounters, it finally fell to the ground and became Zhao Ya's prey.
"call!"
Zhao Ya let out a long breath, wiped the blood off the iron knife first, then took out a skinning knife and a special skin bag, came to the tiger's body and started skinning it.
What he wanted was tiger bone marrow, but the tiger skin and tiger blood were also good things. Although they were of no use to Zhao Ya, the pharmacies in the city had been buying these things at high prices.
So Zhao Ya specially asked Zui'er to sew this skin bag, and while peeling the skin, he used the skin bag to hold the blood that flowed out.
Soon, a complete tiger skin was peeled off, and the skin bag was filled with tiger blood.
Zhao Ya was preparing to cut apart the flesh and blood and take out the bone marrow.
At this moment, he suddenly turned around, holding the meteorite knife in his hand, and said to a certain mountain forest with a vigilant face.
"This friend, since he's already here, why doesn't he show up?"
Following the words, a rustling sound was heard in the grass, and then a man dressed as a hunter walked out.
This man was probably around fifty years old. Years of traveling in the mountains had made his face full of vicissitudes of life, but his eyes were frighteningly bright.
I saw him cupping his hands towards Zhao Ya with a smile on his face.
"This little guy is so skilled. He can actually hunt a tiger by himself. It's really admirable."
Zhao Ya did not let down his guard at all because of this man's smile and compliments.
Because Niu Yuan had said at the beginning that this deep mountain and old forest was a truly lawless place, and no one could be easily trusted.
Especially at this time, Zhao Ya had just killed a fierce tiger, and the benefits were very tempting.
"Whether I am good or not has nothing to do with you. If you don't want to die here, leave immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
Zhao Ya said coldly, his words were not polite.
Unexpectedly, this man showed no intention of retreating, but instead walked forward with a smile on his face.
"Brother, you don't have to be so wary. In fact, I really don't have any ill intentions, it's just..."
An arrow shot straight towards the man's face. The man was so frightened that he ducked aside and dodged the arrow.
"Get out!" Zhao Ya said coldly.
The man's face gradually turned cold, he spat hard, and then said in a cold voice: "You little bastard is quite alert, that's all. Since you don't know how to appreciate someone like this, don't blame me!"
Following the words, three more people walked out of the forest, all dressed as hunters, and they all looked at Zhao Ya with unkind expressions.
The first man smiled at Zhao Ya.
"Boy, we have been staring at this tiger for a long time. We were about to take action, but we didn't expect that you took advantage of it. That's all. You can leave this tiger behind now and get out of here."
