With the grinding sound of "rustling", a beast of prey slowly walked out of the thick bushes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This beast of prey looks a bit like a tiger at first glance, but it is much larger than a tiger. Its head was like a large iron basin, its body was as majestic as that of a baby elephant, its limbs were as thick as that of a brown bear, its neck was as wide as its head, and its mane stood on the back of its head.
What's even more surprising is that it is white all over and does not have a single stray hair.
"Ligermon! It's still white! The look on Zhao Yuan's face turned grim.
As a child, he heard an old hunter talk about this animal. This creature was born of a male lion and a female tiger, but it was much larger than both lions and tigers, and had a tyrannical temperament, and all jackals, tigers and leopards had to retreat when they encountered it. The white liger is extremely rare and is said to be psychic.
At this moment, the liger was agitated by the faint smell of chicken blood in the air, and it shook its huge head from side to side, looking around.
With its unusually sensitive sense of smell, it gradually spotted its target, lowered its head and roared towards the big tree where Zhao Yuan and Yunyang were......
The mountain evening breeze swept through the gray-white silent valley with a hollow whimper. The bone-piercing night breeze blew the broken hair in front of Zhao Yuan's forehead. He stared intently at the hungry and ferocious beast beneath the tree, his gaze clear and cold.
This has been his habit for many years, and the more dangerous the situation, the calmer he becomes.
Zhao Yuan glanced at Yunyang, who was not very sober, and thought to himself: "The reason why I chose to leave the palace at this time is not only to get along with Yunyang alone for a few days, but also to stabilize the overall situation of the DPRK and China." ”
"For many years, the DPRK and China have formed two factions around King Rui and King Alcohol, and they are fighting openly and secretly on weekdays, and they are incompatible. If the dust settles on the Yuanchi matter today, the alcohol king is released, and the queen is grounded, and the faction that supports the alcohol king is deeply hit, and will definitely take the opportunity to rebound. ”
"King Rui's faction has gained momentum because Concubine Chen is in charge of the harem, and it will definitely suppress King Alcohol faction even more violently. Therefore, the battle in the court during this period will be unprecedentedly fierce. ”
"I left the palace under the pretext of going to the Qiaoqian Palace for autumn hunting, and let the privy envoy help deal with government affairs, not to hide from leisure. It's to leave enough time for these two factions to appear on the stage and fully perform. ”
"What intentions, what intentions, will be vividly displayed during this time. Because the two factions are already on the tip of the needle, the slightest flaw will be grabbed by the other party. ”
"Who is loyal to King Rui and King Alcohol, and who is fishing in troubled waters, it will be clear in the next few days."
"King Rui and King Alcohol are both my own sons, and the palms and backs of their hands are full of meat. No matter which of them succeeds to the throne in the future, I will arrange the most loyal and capable assistants by their side. These days are a good opportunity to inspect the courtiers. ”
"The expulsion of Yunyang from the palace also wanted to place her in the Qiaoqian Palace, which was eighty miles away from Luoyang. was going to escort her personally, but she got out of the car early and got lost in the dense forest, which disrupted the original plan. ”
"However, since you are going out to hunt in autumn, it will be the same wherever you hunt. It's better to be in time than to be in time. Anyway, I've never hunted a lion or tiger beast, so I'll just use it as a sword sacrifice today. ”
Although he thought so in his heart, after all, this beast was so fierce and huge, and his own strength had not fully recovered, so the outcome was indeed unpredictable.
By this time, the liger had already smelled blood coming from under the tree. It circled the tree, roaring and growling, quickly reaching out its claws and slapping the trunk.
It is said that the lion and tiger beast is extremely powerful, and it is only when you see it today that you can understand it. With such a shot, the tree held by one person shook for a while, and Zhao Yuan and Yunyang were in a high place, and the feeling of shaking was even stronger. A rough piece of bark was scraped off by its claws and flew out.
Zhao Yuan understood that he had to go down, otherwise this lion and tiger beast would launch a frenzy and might knock this tree down.
He said to Yunyang in an unusually calm tone: "No matter what happens, don't come down, don't move, don't make a sound." If I don't come back, after dawn, there will be medicine pickers and woodcutters passing by, and then you will call for help. ”
Although Yunyang was weak in his limbs, his mind was still clear, and he also heard the screams of the beasts. She only felt tight and stuffy in her heart, and wanted to catch Zhao Yuan, but she couldn't do it in the end, so she could only say softly: "Don't go!" ”
was about to jump off Zhao Yuan, but when he heard her speak, he turned his head. His back was to the moonlight, his angular face hidden in a shadow, and there was a light in his dark eyes......
He reached out and grabbed her head and pressed her face against his own......
Zhao Yuan's face was wet and cold from the dew in the mountains, but Yun Yang could faintly feel the heat and power carried by the blood rushing under his skin, like a piece of ice wrapped in fire. This enthusiasm seems to be about to erupt at any moment......
A layer of pale cyan stubble on his cheeks rubbed against Yunyang's face, and there was some burning pain, and some numb ****. Yunyang's nostrils were filled with the warm smell of his body, including the smell of weeds, dust, blood, and his own unique smell......
However, at this moment, all this only made Yunyang feel more and more sad......
In a moment, Zhao Yuan let go of her, and then flew and jumped off the tree.
Zhao Yuan first fell directly on the head of the lion tiger beast, and wanted to use a trick "Thousand Jin Fall" to smash its head hard, causing it to lose its attack power.
But Zhao Yuan's leg strength did not recover, and the effect of using this move was not good. Zhao Yuan's upper body sends force to his lower limbs, but his leg strength is insufficient, so he disrupts his pace.
He landed on the liger's head, a little heavier, and did not cause it substantial damage, but only made it temporarily stunned. However, Zhao Yuan did not stand firm in the lower plate, and fell directly from the head of the lion tiger beast.
Fortunately, he was experienced, and the moment he fell, he made a "tanuki fluttering bird", jumped out more than a foot away at once, and then rolled on the spot, and rolled out three or four feet.
Although Zhao Yuan's movements were fast, the distance he avoided was nothing to the Lion Tiger Beast.
Just now it was kicked on the head by Zhao Yuan and was stunned for a moment. The lion and tiger beast that came back to its taste was even more furious, it shook its head, roared, and jumped forward, its claws the size of a fan slammed towards Zhao Yuan's back.
Zhao Yuan had already felt a gust of wind with a fishy smell behind him, and said in his heart: "It's not good." But after a series of actions just now, his strength was already at the end of the crossbow, and he wanted to jump forward, but he had no strength.
Zhao Yuan knew that if he was pounced on by the lion and tiger beast, the beast's instinct would be to bite off the neck of the prey. With the size of this lion and tiger beast, its bite force is not a thousand catties but also eight hundred, and under such a force, it is categorically unable to resist.
Therefore, with the only remaining strength, he twisted the center of gravity and turned his body ninety degrees on the ground, so that the body that was originally lying horizontally was lying upright.
The lion tiger beast pounced on the air this time, and turned its head to look at Zhao Yuan viciously.
Zhao Yuan was so close to it at this time, he could see its snow-white head, and its two tile-blue eyes emitted a chaotic and hungry gaze. Next to the slightly open mouth, the thick beard stood upright in anger.
Four sharp tiger teeth were exposed outside the mouth, and the sticky saliva on them reflected the cold light of Sensen.
As it shook its head anxiously, the white hairs on the underside of its neck shook, revealing a brass bell the size of an apple inside.
"This is a domesticated liger!"
