The night finally passed with the vigilance of the two of them. It was quiet all night, and they didn't even hear the sound of the hyena. Although the two of them were more vigilant, they also took turns to take a rest. They lit a fire and
There were some alarm devices set up around the area. There was no tent set up. They just lay down and slept on the grass next to the fire with their weapons.
The sun had just risen in the morning, and the two of them had packed up their equipment and had breakfast. They then led the two horses to the edge of the forest and tied them up before entering the jungle. Soon the two of them arrived at the foot of the hill. This time they turned to the left.
Search northwest along the foot of the mountain.
After walking along the foot of the mountain in the jungle for about half an hour, we came to the side of the hill. The jungle began to become a little sparse. Steven, who was walking in front, saw a cave on the mountain not far from the foot of the mountain on the right.
The grass on the ground at the foot of the mountain near the cave became sparse, and there were traces of animals coming and going. Steven gestured to Kate behind him. The two of them lowered their bodies and grasped their weapons. Using tree trunks as cover, they slowly approached the man who was standing there.
A cave on the hillside.
Later, the two came to the side wall of the cave. The entrance of the cave was not big, about one person tall, but it looked very deep. It was dark inside. Their current position was more than ten meters away from the entrance, and they could observe the cave.
There was excrement of large animals on the ground near the entrance, and the shape and size looked very much like that of a lion.
The two discussed in a low voice and decided to try to lure out the things inside to see if they were man-eating lions. If not, they would leave here and search for the bottom of the mountain. If they were indeed those man-eating lions, they would meet them outside the cave.
Fighting is more advantageous than in a cave.
Kate came to a big tree on the side of the cave that was good for blocking. He hid in the dense branches and leaves, took off the hunting bow, and Steven came to the other side of the cave entrance.
He picked up a stone on the ground and threw it towards the cave wall. The stone as big as a fist hit the cave wall with a sound. After a while, there was no movement. Steven picked up another piece of gravel and threw it directly into the cave.
, a subtle collision sound came out, and it felt like the stone flew far away before hitting the stone wall.
After a few seconds, a low roar came from the depths of the cave. The two recognized it as the roar of a lion, and then a lion jumped out of the cave. It wiggled its nose at the entrance of the cave and sniffed the air.
This was an ordinary prairie lioness, not the man-eating lion they were looking for. At this time, the lioness had noticed Steven on the side of the cave. She opened her mouth and roared, turned around and rushed towards Steven.
There was a sound of a bowstring from the tree not far from the cave entrance, and an arrow was inserted into the side of the lioness' neck. Although the arrow was not poisoned, it was a fine one the two of them bought at the weapons shop in Daru Town.
The steel triangular arrows are extremely sharp and their lethality is no worse than poisonous arrows.
The sprinting lioness was stabbed in the neck by a three-edged feathered arrow. The power and severe pain from the arrow made it roll around on the ground. It stood up and mooed in a low voice and ran into the cave a little crookedly, a trail of blood
The trajectory follows and extends.
The two looked at each other, and before they could say anything, another huge roar came from the depths of the cave. The sound was still buzzing and echoing in the cave, and three huge lions rushed out of the cave!
The first lion rushed out and turned around to find Steven. It opened its big mouth, exposed its sharp fangs, and roared at Steven. The other two lions that followed after it were already facing Steven from one side.
The tattoo went around. These three lions should be male lions in size, but they are at least twice the size of ordinary male lions. They have no mane on their necks, and their yellow eyes reveal a cunning and cruel look.
The lion roared at Steven, then took a deep breath, then opened its mouth, as if it was about to roar again, but Steven had already sensed its imminent attack deep in its open mouth.
There seemed to be a cyan light flashing at his throat, and Steven immediately felt something invisible in the air rushing towards his chest!
At this time, Steven felt that the surrounding world had become extremely quiet, and the lion's open mouth had frozen! There seemed to be a transparent thing moving in its mouth and in the air on his chest!
Its target is Steven's chest. Steven looks carefully at this transparent thing. It is completely transparent! It can't be seen clearly at all. He can only see the air around it because of the light that is distorted and refracted when it moves at high speed.
Just like the scene in the desert under the scorching sun that distorts the air when steam evaporates.
Steven determined the size of the thing through the refraction of the distorted air around it. It was a spherical thing the size of a human head.
He immediately turned sideways and moved back a certain distance, exiting the passive explosive state, and then felt as if a train was rushing past at high speed not far from his chest!
The surrounding air is driven to produce a pulling force!
There was a muffled sound on the trunk of a big tree a few meters behind where he was standing, and sawdust exploded at breast height! Then the big tree, as thick as a man's waist, fell down!
The man-eating lion saw that its long-range attack was dodged by its prey. It opened its mouth and roared again, and then jumped towards Steven! At this time, the sound of a bowstring was heard not far away, but this man-eating lion
He turned his body nimbly and avoided Kate's arrow. The arrow missed the lion's ear and hit the ground.
The lion roared again, and the outermost of the two lions beside it turned around and rushed in Kate's direction.
At this time, Steven knew that the long-range attack launched by the lion was very powerful, and it had a tearing force. He could never resist it, he could only dodge. Even if he was holding a shield, he would be knocked away by this huge force and be hurt.
.
At this time, the lion just now had already rushed over at a faster speed, and the other one was outflanking him from the left. Steven stepped back sideways, and the lion was already a few meters in front of him. It jumped and flew in the air.
The fangs in its mouth have already grown!
Steven is faster than it!
He turned sideways and jumped backwards, flying several meters in the air like a bird. He rolled on the ground and stood up, then turned around and rushed into the jungle.
Steven was like a fish swimming through aquatic plants in the jungle, constantly twisting and turning around tree trunks and branches. The two lions following him were huge in size, although their sharp claws could wave away the dense branches and leaves.
But the thick tree trunks hindered their speed, and they were soon separated by Steven. They roared and chased behind, but the distance was getting further and further away.
Soon, Steven walked around the cave in the jungle and approached the big tree where Kate was hiding just now. The lion that was attacking Kate was grabbing the trunk under the tree where Kate was staying. Although it was huge, it still maintained a disproportionate size.
It is agile, but its weight prevents it from climbing tall trees.
