Chapter 140: Searching for the Trail (Second Update!) Ask for a subscription! )
The rag strip found by Ruan Wen shocked Xia Shaoguang's spirit, and Kong Tianzong was also very shocked. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The bloodstained strip of rag, the previously found scratches of the tiger's claws, and the number to report the invasion of the beast, all of this set up a striking result.
The tiger may have caused casualties, which is not a small finding, and if this were to happen, the entire playground would be in danger.
In order to confirm whether his conjecture was accurate, Xia Shaoguang contacted Xizi again and asked Xizi to help check if there were any reports of missing people in the vicinity, or reports of beast attacks.
But the answer is also no, there has not been a single disappearance, and there have been zero reports of animal attacks.
This is strange, the appearance of this bloody strip of cloth undoubtedly makes them smell a strange smell.
The tearing marks on this strip of cloth are also exactly the size and position of the tiger's claws, and should be from the same time as the marks on the tree in front of it, or from the same size of tiger.
Xia Shaoguang took the rags from Ruan Wen's hand and said to Ruan Wen and Kong Tianzong, "Let's look around here again and see if we can find something else." ”
Ruan Wen and Kong Tianzong agreed, and then went their separate ways and threw themselves into the operation of finding clues.
Soon, they found some traces that were enough to cause attention.
Footprints!
That's right, Kong Tianzong found some footprints on the ground not far away, some fairly clear footprints of tiger claws.
Kong Tianzong was overjoyed when he found these footprints, and hurriedly beckoned Xia Shaoguang and Ruan Wen to come over.
It may have rained just in the past two days, and some places on the ground are still relatively muddy, so the footprints of the tiger's claws are relatively clear.
When Xia Shaoguang saw these footprints, the first thing that naturally came to mind was that there were really tigers around here, and it seemed that this matter seemed to be a little difficult to do.
But when Ruan Wen saw these footprints, he immediately noticed that something was wrong.
Ruan Wen squatted next to these footprints and simply measured the size of these footprints with his palm, but these footprints were much larger than Ruan Wen's palm.
Ruan Wen folded his two palms on top to barely match the size of the footprints they found, Ruan Wen frowned, his expression was solemn, but he didn't say anything.
Then, Nguyen Wen stood up and measured the distance between the footprints with his own steps next to the series of footprints, and finally came to a conclusion.
"These are not tiger footprints." Ruan Wen held his chest with one hand and his cheeks with the other, and said with some doubts.
"Why?" Kong Tianzong and Xia Shaoguang looked at Ruan Wen at the same time and asked in unison.
Ruan Wen's face was still a little dignified, and he lowered his head and said thoughtfully: "As far as I know, the largest tiger in the world is the Siberian tiger, also known as the Siberian tiger, the average body length of an adult male tiger is about three meters, and the largest tiger is three .9 meters, but you look at the length of this tiger's footprints, the body length has exceeded five meters!" ”
"Five meters?!" When Xia Shaoguang heard Ruan Wen say this, he almost jumped up.
What does a tiger with a body length of more than five meters represent?
Xia Shaoguang asked tentatively, "Are you sure?" ”
Ruan Wen nodded heavily, and then said: "Moreover, I have never seen a tiger with such big feet, which also confirms from one side that I should not be wrong in estimating the size of this tiger." ”
Hearing this, Xia Shaoguang couldn't help but swallow his saliva, if what Ruan Wen said was true, then the danger they encountered this time should not be much less than the Tyrannosaurus rex in the warehouse.
However, before Xia Shaoguang could ease his strength, Kong Tianzong gave Xia Shaoguang another head-on blow.
"According to my estimate of the footprints, it won't take more than three hours for the tiger to walk through here." Kong Tian squatted next to this string of footprints and said carefully.
"What?" When Xia Shaoguang heard Kong Tianzong say this, he immediately squatted down and asked, "You mean, this tiger is very likely to be around here now?" ”
Kong Tianzong did not directly answer Xia Shaoguang's words, but immediately stood up, held the rifle-type taser in his hand, and said: "We have to be vigilant now, this tiger is very likely to be nearby now, and we can't let it go to the playground, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
Xia Shaoguang also stood up, held the taser in his hand, and said, "Let's follow the direction of the footprints, maybe we can follow the footprints to find the tiger." ”
Ruan Wen and Kong Tian glanced at each other, nodded, and approved Xia Shaoguang's decision, and then the three of them chased in the direction of the footprints.
In fact, they didn't know that the tiger they were tracking had already left the forest at this time......
The footprints broke when they chased out dozens of meters, probably because of the soil, and the footprints of the tiger on the soil disappeared.
The disappearance of the clue made it a little difficult for Xia Shaoguang and them to continue tracking, but they did not give up, the tiger's footprints were in this direction, although they didn't know where the tiger was going, but now it seems that there should be nothing wrong with continuing to walk in this direction.
However, at this moment, a car drove in this direction from a distance.
Kong Tianzong keenly heard the sound of the jeep, and hurriedly gestured to Xia Shaoguang and Ruan Wen, signaling the two of them to find a place to hide for the time being.
So, the three of them hid behind a bush and quietly watched what might happen.
Soon, the jeep stopped in front of the bushes in front of them, and a woman in a ranger's uniform stepped out of the car.
It turned out to be the ranger of this Guadon Forest, but I didn't expect the ranger to be a woman.
The female ranger got out of the car, looked around, wrote something on a document she was carrying, and then got in the car and left.
Just as the female ranger was about to leave, the communicator on Xia Shaoguang's body suddenly vibrated.
The female ranger stood up suddenly, and then shouted in the direction of Xia Shaoguang, "Who! ”
Xia Shaoguang saw that he had been exposed, so there was no need to hide anymore, so he stood up from behind the bushes and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm human." ”
Ruan Wen and Kong Tianzong also stood up.
The female ranger quickly took out a tranquilizer gun from the car, pointed it at Xia Shaoguang and said, "Who are you and why are you here?" ”
Seeing that the female ranger raised and grabbed it, Kong Tianzong raised the rifle-type taser in his hand almost reflexively, and the two sides suddenly became deadlocked. (To be continued.) )
