Chapter 6: Young Men
On the periphery of an unknown mountain, along the nameless path at the foot of the mountain, not far from the trail, stands a small shop with a strange atmosphere, and at the entrance of the store is a young man in his early twenties, lying on a chair, basking in the sun with his eyes closed.
"It's been the third day of business in the store, and there's not even a single figure. Feeling the warm sunbathing, Yang Lingxuan lay on the boss chair given by the system, opened his eyes, and looked in the direction of the sun, the sun was a little dazzling, and he raised his right hand to block the sunlight scattered on his face.
Then he looked at the quiet grove around him with some boredom, at first, he was a little worried that a wild beast would suddenly emerge from it, etc., but as the day or two passed.
The woods were excessively quiet, without the howling of wild beasts, nor the chirping of any birds, and if it weren't for the occasional nonsense, in a forest where there was no sound and nothing to pass the time, he would have gone mad.
Quietly looking at the depths of the woods in front of him, time passed bit by bit, Yang Lingxuan felt bored again, and then put the messy thoughts in his mind to the back of his mind, let the whole brain empty, closed his eyes, and continued to sleep, except for sleeping, he really couldn't think of what to do.
However, what Yang Lingxuan didn't know was that not far from the store, about twenty miles away, there was an ancient battle between humans and beasts.
Somewhere in the forest, next to a riverbank, a young man in his twenties was confronting a gray tiger-like beast, staring at each other with tense muscles.
The young man dressed in animal skin, holding a long sword glowing with cold light in his hand, and drops of dark red blood flowed from the blade, and his face was filled with a trace of solemnity.
On the other hand, the tiger-shaped beast opposite it was a gray spotted tiger more than one meter tall, this spotted tiger was swaying from side to side, it should be looking for a suitable angle of attack, its eyes were staring at the human in front of it.
There was a wound on its back that was dozens of centimeters long, slowly dripping dark red blood, combined with the blood on the young man's long sword, it should have been the one that the young man had just scratched.
Looking at the beast swimming back and forth around him in front of him, the young man couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was unlucky, he had not yet entered the periphery of the 100,000 mountains, and he met this level 4 mountain tiger.
If it weren't for the talent of being able to perceive danger since he was a child, he was knocked down when he was just attacked by the mountain tiger, and when he sensed the swishing behind him, he subconsciously dodged it, and gave it a sword, otherwise I am afraid that he would already be its meal now.
Maybe it was because he was hit by his own sword, but the mountain tiger at this moment did not attack, but regarded himself as an opponent.
Looking at this level 4 mountain tiger, with more than 400 catties of strength, if you are scratched by him, you can return to heaven with peace of mind.
His back was already soaked with sweat, and the breeze made him feel cold, and although the sweat and the cold wind made the young man feel cold, his face was still sweating.
Thinking about the weakness of this mountain tiger in his mind, as a hunter, he himself knew the weaknesses of these beasts near the periphery of the 100,000 mountains, not to mention that he knew everything, at least he knew everything.
With a calculation, I began to weigh it in my heart, as a level 3 martial artist, although it is 1 level lower than the mountain tiger, but it is different from other tigers, it can't swim at all, there is a river next to it, if it falls into the river, it will definitely die, but I don't know how to get it into the water.
Weighing the pros and cons, the young man decisively stared at the mountain tiger vigilantly, and leaned towards the river, because he could not think too much, he had already felt the mountain tiger's fighting intent, which was the precursor of its attack.
If you fight it on land, even if you win, you will lose half your life, lose half your life in the mountains, and if you don't have teammates, it will be a lunch or dinner for other beasts.
Just as the young man was about to retreat to the bank of the river, he subconsciously glanced at the river below the bank, and then a deafening tiger roar sounded in his ears.
Hearing this tiger roar, the young man secretly said that it was not good, and then quickly put the long sword in front of him, blocking the claws of the mountain tiger.
A huge sense of oppression was reflected from the long sword, and the young man instantly retreated a few meters, and one foot was already on the edge of the cliff, and two or three meters below the cliff was a large river flowing with rapid water.
The mountain tiger, who did not succeed in the blow, looked at the young man on the edge of the cliff, who had been hovering two or three meters away from him, listening to the sound of the river surging, and did not dare to take a step forward.
Looking at the mountain tiger, the young man now had two choices, one was to jump into the river and leave along the river, or the other was to lure the tiger into the river and kill it himself in the water, or wait for it to drown.
Since the mountain tiger should not dare to come forward to attack him for a while, he can weigh the pros and cons of the two options. Jumping into the river and swimming, although there is a risk, but there is no danger to life, and the sky has already darkened, if you go, it means that you have nothing to gain today.
If you take this mountain tiger and take the body of the mountain tiger to the town to sell, according to the market price, you can get about 400 gold coins, which is your own food expenses for half a year.
Then the right hand holding the sword tightened, and then the attack began to swing.
However, the mountain tiger originally looked at the prey in front of him, and had been standing on the edge of the cliff without moving, and had begun to retreat, but after a while, he found that the prey he had planned to give up actually began to provoke himself, and the arrogance of being the king of beasts was provoked by his prey, what a shame it was.
The retreat that had just been born had been covered with anger and vanished, and then a deafening tiger roar was released, and its right paw slashed into the ground one by one, preparing to launch a charge-like pounce.
Looking at the posture of the mountain tiger, the young man's pupils gradually narrowed, and his heart began to get nervous, if he didn't dodge this attack and was pounced on head-on, there were only two results, one was to be knocked out by it, and the other was to be thrown to the ground, no matter what it was, it would not be very comfortable.
With a tiger roar, the mountain tiger pounced on the young man, but the young man pounced on the left front, and the moment he made contact with the mountain tiger, the long sword was provoked from the bottom up, and the mountain tiger's body in mid-air suddenly leaned to the left, raised his right paw and slapped at the young man.
