Chapter 23 Fierce Battle with the Tiger

...

Hunting a tiger-like monster that is also bronze-level is not as easy as imagined. For example, going up the mountain, hitting a one-horned tiger, killing a tiger after a fierce battle. How can it be that easy?

A tiger is a ferocious beast with high IQ, strong combat power, and especially good at ambushing. Its sense of smell is particularly keen, and it can smell prey from a very distant place, and distinguish the shape, strength, and number of prey. Even it can tell whether the prey is injured.

If a bronze-level one-horned tiger will only be more powerful and cunning. Otherwise, it will not be its turn to harm the countryside for many years and have been hunted by people. As for some baits, traps, traps, etc., this one-horned tiger is probably more than ordinary hunters. It has long been extremely keen and will avoid it from afar.

Zuo Qianqian also led her black-backed hunting dog for three days before finding some traces of a one-horned tiger. It is said that her black-backed hunting dog was lucky. She ran away last time and didn't care about it. After half a month, Zuo Qianqian sneaked home and found this loyal hunting dog. The hunting dog she trained herself is very spiritual, not only has a deep affection, but also a good helper for her hunting. When the owner is not around, it will also go to the nearby area to hunt some snow rabbits and other abdomen, but it will not starve to death.

With the help of this hunting dog called Dahei, it is very helpful for searching for the unicorn tiger. It is not that it can help kill the unicorn tiger. It is just that its sense of smell is very sharp and it is very good at tracing prey. Zuo Qianqian asked it to sniff on the fresh tiger claw footprints.

Dahei barked twice, lowered his head and ran and tracked it all the way. Of course, the one-horned tiger is also an old demon tiger that has only been through the hunting formation for a long time. Although Dahei has good spirituality, as for whether he can really track it, it is still a big deal.

As a result, Lei Qing used the Qingfeng sword to cut a hole in his hand and dripped some blood. He also stirred the fighting energy into his body and made him look very weak and embarrassed. He is very sensitive to some injured prey, such as tigers. They usually also attack the injured or young prey when choosing prey.

As I followed the snow and followed the way, the sparse forests began to gradually become denser and the terrain became higher and higher. Unfortunately, the footprints suddenly broke and even the smell dissipated.

This is the power of monsters with higher wisdom and fighting spirit. While they are good at hunting, they also gradually learn how to counter-track and protect themselves in the process of competing with hunters. Some powerful and smart monsters will consciously control their pores and make the smell converge.

But this also shows that the one-horned tiger has discovered Lei Qing and others. The position between the prey and the hunter may change at any time. Lei Qing and the other two seem to be not strong on the surface. If the one-horned tiger is threatened or feels hungry, it is very likely that they will hunt Lei Qing and others in reverse. Just like Lei Qing encountered the snow wolf pack on the plateau, it is not Lei Qing who took the initiative to provoke them. Instead, they are hungry and want to eat Lei Qing.

The twelve thousand-machine crossbows were all put on the strings. Lei Qing and Zuo Qianqian each held one hand, and the rest were separated in their space rings. The thousand-machine crossbows were very heavy, and one hand cost about 30 kilograms. It was impossible for the two of them to put the extra thousand-machine crossbows on their backs and run around the mountains.

Although he was mentally prepared to not be able to find the one-horned tiger, Lei Qing and Zuo Qianqian, who had been walking on Lianyun Mountain for several days, felt very exhausted. The one-horned tiger was really cunning. Even an old hunter like Zuo Qianqian, who was very good at tracking, could no longer find its trace after being discovered by the one-horned tiger.

"Huh." Lei Qing let out a long breath, and said helplessly with a white cold air in his mouth: "We have been delaying for seven or eight days in order to find this one-horned tiger, so we can't continue to rub it any longer. While it's not dark yet, we will go down the mountain here and prepare to cross the Tianji Mountains."

The Tianji Mountains, from the horizontal calculation, are narrower than a hundred miles wide. But the distance is not calculated like this. Various peaks, natural barriers, lakes in the mountains, dense forests, etc. will infinitely magnify the distance. Many times, after encountering an insurmountable path, you will have to go back.

Therefore, if you want to pass through the Tianji Mountains without a clear path, you will be lucky enough for seven or eight days. If you are not lucky, you will not be able to get out for a month. There are many dangers in the Tianji Mountains. Every time you stay for one more day, you will have more danger.

When there might be pursuers behind him at any time, Lei Qing was unwilling to play hide-and-seek with the cunning one-horned tiger. So after discussing with Zuo Qianqian, he walked diagonally deep into the Tianji Mountains.

Unexpectedly, just as Lei Qing was about to give up and had been walking for half a day, his mental state had relaxed, and an abnormality suddenly occurred. First, the black hair on the back of the black-backed hunting dog with good spirituality exploded, and barked wildly in shock and horror.

"Brother Lei, be careful." Zuo Qianqian almost subconsciously changed color and shouted.

Suddenly, a gust of fishy wind blew behind him. After the pores exploded, an unpleasant smell appeared from the pores that had been blocked for several days.

Lei Qing was ambushed once or twice, and he also knew that any ambush must come when you were most relaxed. His reaction to the crisis was also extremely fast. The fighting spirit of the thunder hidden in his lower abdomen seemed to be ignited by a blazing fire, bursting and circulating at an extremely fast speed to every part of Lei Qing's body, providing a steady stream of explosive power for his strong body.

The body rushed forward like thunder, with its speed so fast that it was outrageous, bringing out a series of ghostly afterimages.

But at this moment of life and death, he was still a little slower. The tiger claws, several inches long, rubbed against his back. Three sharp claws tore the wolf leather jacket and lining leather armor on his back, and about inch of flesh were cut, cutting three hideous holes.

Fortunately, Lei Qing, who was doing this, had already swept two or three feet away. The thick and pure fighting spirit stopped the wound and bleeding. Although the pain was unbearable, there was no expression on his face. He had turned around in the air to deal with the ambushed one-horned tiger head-on.

Even at this critical moment, when Lei Qing saw the one-horned tiger that had been famous for seven or eight days, he also lit up his eyes and secretly praised the one-horned tiger as truly majestic.

It is a slight blue color between the head and the tail. It is thick and strong, and it is probably a thousand pounds to beat it. The fur all over its body is as smooth as a mirror. The fur appears a faint blue color in the black and white. The most conspicuous one is the unicorn on its forehead that has not yet grown completely, with only a few inches of inches.

He looked majestic and domineering.

But even such a giant tiger is quick to move and is particularly good at sneak attacking. One attack is not in the middle, and a roar is like an angry roar to the sky. The tiger roar shook the sky, making people's ears ring, faintly deaf, almost losing their minds. This tiger roar is faintly similar to the spring thunder of Lei Qing, and it has the same effect. They all use the sound of violent explosions to disturb people's ears and capture people's minds.

Zuo Qianqian was so shocked that she fell directly on the snow, while the black-backed hunting dog was pressed down by the majesty of the one-horned tiger and crawled on the ground, trembling.

But Lei Qing was not Yi and others. He just shook his body slightly and landed on the ground. He picked up the Qianji Crossbow and shot an arrow at the Unicorn Tiger. The crossbow arrow was extremely fast, like a meteor. With a puff, it nailed into the Unicorn Tiger's shoulder blade.

There was no time to load the crossbow arrows, or take out the other Qianji crossbows from the space ring. Lei Qing immediately wiped his hands on his back, pulled the iron-shaped shield covered with iron on his left hand, and held the Qingfeng sword in his right hand.

Several feet apart, they were facing the one-horned tiger in a distance. When they were shot by Lei Qing, the one-horned tiger, which was in pain, roared angrily. Its body was shortened, and the lightning flashed on the one-horned horn on its forehead, and a zigzag thunder and lightning shot towards Lei Qing fiercely.
