3. White tiger cubs
When the howl of the desert wolf came from behind him, Shen Ling realized that he was being followed by the three of Gildas. Shen Ling's first reaction was to run away, only this time he lost his good luck in the morning, so he took two steps before he was pounced on by the desert wolf, and the jacaranda fell from his hand and rolled into the field on the side.
Desert wolves are naturally short and skinny, but they have much more strength than ordinary wolves. After being pounced by it, Shen Ling couldn't break free from his shackles at all, and besides, this desert wolf, named Warrior, was salivating with stinky saliva between Shen Ling's neck with his sharp teeth.
"Did you see that? He even wanted to escape? Gildas laughed mockingly, his voice sharp and piercing, more terrifying to Shen Ling than the desert wolf's teeth on his neck.
"He's even more useless than the last time." Kerry commented dissatisfiedly, "He ran at least 10 meters last time. "Prey that doesn't struggle is boring.
"It's our warriors who are stronger." Gildas walked over to the warrior and Shen Ling, and he crouched down, happily scratching the hair behind the desert wolf's ear.
Shen Ling closed his lips tightly, and he didn't dare to come out. The experience of being bullied many times in the past few years told him that at such a time, he should not ask for mercy, do not speak, and cannot act as afraid, let alone have a defiant or disdainful expression on his face.
He could only remain silent, waiting for the demon Gildas to be disposed of.
"Dumb? Or are you so scared that you can't even speak? Gildas stood up and kicked Shen Ling in the flank.
Shen Ling snorted in pain.
Gildas retracted his feet in satisfaction, and one of his henchmen, Demmer, stepped forward and whispered in his ear, "It's time to tie him up and take him away, the road in the Beast Forest is not easy, at least we must hurry back before dark." โ
"You two will tie it up." Gildas whistled and let the "warrior" get off Shen Ling's body.
After the "warriors" retreated, Demer and Kerry pounced on Shen Ling again, and they tied Shen Ling's hands and feet with rough hemp rope.
Realizing what Jill and Kerry were doing, Shen Ling struggled in panic. "Let go of me! Let me go! He defied weakly, and finally the resistance turned into a crying pleading, "Please, don't do this. His voice was high-pitched, like a girl, which made the three of Gildas feel even more uplifted.
In fact, whether it is Gildas, Demer, or Kerry, they are all younger than Shen Ling, and the youngest of them, Demer, is even only seven years old. But compared to Shen Ling, who was short and thin, the three of them were like giants, as if as long as they were willing, they could crush Shen Ling to pieces and kill them lightly at any time.
"Don't scream like we're going to โกโก you." Gildas said in disgust, "I don't look at you, I'm as ugly as a pig." โ
"โกโก him?" Demer glanced at Gildas in surprise, and at that moment, he had developed deep doubts about Gildas's aesthetics and sexuality. It is really not picky to have this kind of thought about an ugly monster who looks like Shen Ling - his skin is not dark enough, his eyebrows are not thick enough, and his lips are not thick at all.
As if to understand the meaning of Demer's glance, Gildas glared at Demer angrily and roared, "What are you idiots thinking? Why don't you tie him up quickly, do you want to wait until it gets dark and we're trapped in the alien beast forest? โ
Demer shuddered, lowered his head and continued to tie up Shen Ling.
"Two idiots, won't you keep his mouth shut!" Gildas cursed, took off his short shirt, crumpled it into a ball, and rudely stuffed it into Shen Ling's mouth.
The smell of sweat made Shen Ling's breath stagnate, and he was almost smoked to death.
Demer and Kerry quickly tied Shen Ling's hands behind his back and his feet firmly tied up, and then they took out the prepared burlap bag and put Shen Ling in one go.
Shen Ling, who was put upside down in a burlap bag, was so frightened that he curled up his small body in a ball, crying low while praying that the three of Gildas would not kill him. In fact, after being bullied by them a few times ago, Shen Ling faintly felt that he would be bullied to death by them sooner or later.
The three of Gildas took turns carrying Shen Ling on their backs for a long time, and walked into the alien beast forest behind the Linas River town. After entering this ancient and gloomy forest, the sound of the low roar of unknown beasts lingered around the forest, and a heavy fishy smell came to the nostrils. Demer and Kerry were terrified, and their calves trembled.
It wasn't the first time Gildas had set foot in the Beast Forest, he had been here with his father and the town's hunters, and he knew that they were now in a safe area of the Beast Forest, an area where there were only a few ordinary beasts and docile herbivores that didn't pose any threat.
But the few times he came here with the adults before, he didn't have the same chilling feeling as today, and he vaguely felt that something extraordinary seemed to be about to happen in today's alien beast forest.
"Roar......
The roar of a thunderous beast came from the depths of the forest, stirring up a circle of rolling stones and echoing with rumbling. The fierce birds in the sky were not to be outdone, and the sharp chirp resounded through the sky, shaking the eardrums of the three people.
The youngest Demer, who was already on his knees in fright, said in a trembling voice, "I...... Let's go back. โ
"He can't go back if he puts him here anyway." Kerry didn't want to go any further, and all sorts of bedside stories his grandfather had told him about the alien beast forest came to his mind, and at the end of each story, his grandfather, who had been the best hunter in town, would wrinkle his old face and tell him sternly, "This forest is definitely not easy to mess with, don't go into the depths, even if you are the strongest hunter!" โ
"Afraid of what?" In order to hide his weakness, Gildas deliberately raised his voice and scolded loudly, "This is a safe area, my father and I have been here many times!" Large beasts will not appear in this area! And we have warriors! He glanced down at his desert wolf, who was safe as long as the "Warrior" was by his side.
However, even the "warriors" themselves, who were alien beasts, began to feel uneasy, their yellow-brown wolf hair stood on end, and a pair of wolf eyes turned crimson because of restlessness and mania. Suddenly, the "Warrior" turned sharply and stared warily at a low bush not far in front of it, and let out a low roar in his throat.
As if deliberately mocking Gildas's self-confidence, a white-fronted tiger quietly emerged from the low bushes. It was the size of an adult lying on its side, and was a juvenile white tiger with brownish-black patterns.
"Huh~" The young tiger raised his head and roared angrily, and the majesty of the future overlord in the forest was fully revealed.
Kerry, who was carrying a burlap bag containing Shen Ling, frightened the whole person and froze in place. And Demer screamed and fell backwards, in the face of this terrible beast, he forgot how to escape, only felt a damp warmth under him, and his pants were already soaked.
Gildas was also frightened, took a few steps back, and muttered incoherently, "Brave...... Warriors, protect us! โ
The only thing that was not feared was the loyal Desert Wolf, who cautiously confronted the tiger, opening its bloody mouth and glistening with its sharp fangs in order to intimidate the tiger cub. As soon as the tiger cub moves slightly, it immediately shifts its body with agility and protects its owner behind it.
As a fifth-level alien beast, the desert wolf and the seventh-level alien beast's white-fronted alien tiger's combat power is not at the same level at all, and the white-fronted alien tiger should not be afraid of the desert wolf, but the young alien tiger in front of the three of Gildas has never seen a desert wolf in the alien beast forest, and he doesn't know the details. Coupled with its young age, when facing the threat of the desert wolf, a trace of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the golden beast.
However, hesitation disappeared immediately after seeing the burlap bag that Kerry was carrying behind him, and it jumped towards Kerry, who was so frightened that he threw down the burlap bag and turned around in a panic to flee. At this moment, the desert wolves were in a cluster and pounced, and the young tiger seemed to have already noticed it, and its heavy body was dexterous enough to dodge and dodge the desert wolf's attack.
After that, a tiger and a wolf officially started the battle. You go back and forth, biting and scratching each other, and after a few rounds, the desert wolf has fallen behind, its brown fur is bloodstained, and one of its front legs has been bitten by a tiger cub, and it can no longer be forced. However, the desert wolf, a strange beast, the more critical it is, the more fierce and fierce it becomes, and it bites and kills the tiger cub desperately.
Compared to the wolf bรจi of the desert wolf, the situation of the tiger cub is much better. Except for the fact that he was accidentally bitten on the back by a desert wolf because of fear at the beginning, there were no other external injuries. Moreover, after figuring out the true strength of the desert wolf, this tiger cub, which rarely fights with foreign beasts, obviously has a tendency to become more and more excited.
Seeing that his beloved desert wolf was about to be bitten and killed by a strange tiger, Gildas did not dare to stay here any longer, even if he was dripping blood in distress. He pulled Demer up and ran wildly in the direction of the town.
After being thrown down by Kerry with a burlap bag, Shen Ling's head hit the ground hard. Fortunately, the soil of the Alien Beast Forest was softer and fluffier than the stone pavement in the town, and even if his head hit the ground, Shen Ling only felt pain for a while, and there was no major problem. The roar and fighting sound of the beast outside almost to his ears made Shen Ling's heart beat extremely fast, and he struggled to spit out the dirty cloth ball in his mouth, because his hands and feet were tied, he could only carefully withdraw from the burlap bag like a caterpillar.
When he withdrew from the burlap sack, he half-knelt on the ground, just breathing in the damp and cold air of the alien beast forest. I heard a "ahhh Some kind of warm liquid with a fishy smell splashed on his back and red. Bare. on the arm. He was stunned, and carefully turned his head to see what was stained on his arm.
He saw drops of thick blood on his emaciated arm.
Fear took over his brain for a moment. At this time, he should not be curious, let alone turn to see what kind of beast killed the vicious desert wolf that had bitten him many times.
But by surprise, he turned around and saw the tiger's blood-stained tiger cub's large, golden eyes the size of a brass bell, glowing with a fierce light.
