Chapter 155: Red Sand Demon Tiger
Li Kecheng was startled and shouted: "It's not good! This is a big insect nest." Rushing over the stream at the entrance of the cave, he rushed to Gou Bucai and shouted: "Gou Bucai, I have seen a group of big insects hidden in the cave, and they are about to come out when we are alarmed." Let's quickly prepare poison darts and crossbows to block the hole, and shoot one by one, if we let them come out together, it is so late, and one of them is at a loss, and there is a fear for their lives, you quickly command them to block the hole......"
Gou Bucai didn't wait for him to continue, stopped the conversation, and hurriedly said: "It seems that it is not appropriate to block the hole, the big insect may not be afraid of death, in case it rushes out in groups, one is not neat to deal with, and it will be troublesome to escape." Why don't you give an order to divide them into five teams and hide in these big trees for the time being. Such tall and thick thousand-year-old trees, big insects may not be able to go up, we are condescending, and then use bows and arrows to shoot them, it is much safer. ”
Li Kecheng suddenly woke up and replied repeatedly: "Yes, your idea is really much higher than mine." With that, he hurriedly commanded fifty warriors to go up the tree. Such warriors were all agile and strong, and they were immediately divided into five teams, each of which inspected the close-quarters tree, stacked arhats, stacked ladders, and climbed the trees one after another. And they brought to the trees the two horses and three healthy mules, and they hid them in the hollows of a few dead trees, so that the hearts of the great withered trees were hollow, and there was a room as big as a room, and there were more than enough mules and horses to hide. Everything stopped, but the big worm has not yet come out of the hole.
I didn't know that Li Kecheng was not very good at jumping into the body, and it was not easy for such a tall tree to go up empty-handed. Looking at a large dead tree one or twenty feet high nearby, the heart of the tree was hollow, and two horses were hiding in this tree hollow.
Gou Bucai hurriedly went over and walked into the tree hole, took off a large plate of hunting noose from his saddle, stood under the tree, looked up at the thick stem of the horizontal branch above, tied the lasso a live buckle, shook his arm, and threw the lasso seven or eight feet high.
As soon as the bottom was drawn, the top was tightly fastened, beckoning to Li Kecheng and asking him to go up first.
Li Kecheng himself understood that this was necessary, so he was honest and polite, rushed to grab the end of the lasso, twisted his head and said: "Gou Bucai, you have a skill, of course it doesn't matter." But it's getting late, in case a big insect swarms come and they send poisonous crossbows on the trees, if they hurt you by mistake, it's not fun, just go up with the foolish brother. ”
Gou Bucai smiled and said, "Your Excellency, just go first, and I'll follow." ”
After that, he turned over a few times in succession, jumped six or seven feet of the road and came to a piece of sand near the entrance of the cave. This piece of sandy land is relatively flat, there are more than ten zhang broad and no miscellaneous trees, only by the edge of the cave stream, there is a Qianxun ancient tree growing alone, it has been half withered, the side facing east above, the branches and leaves are dense from themselves, and the horizontal branches stretch straight through the bank of the stream.
Because half of it has withered, there is no other neighboring tree to grow side by side, and the sky is exposed, although the moon has not yet come out, but the sky has revealed a few sparse flashes of starlight, only to know that this sudden work, it is indeed night, almost to the time of the unitary.
Gou Bucai took advantage of the faint starlight in the sky to carefully identify the surrounding situation, but only the outline of the dangerous rock and ancient trees was dark and gloomy, and he really couldn't see anything. Thinking about the deep cave in this valley, it is really a big insect nest, but I am afraid that the monsters of the legend of Yilong Lake are also hidden. I got a strange saliva on my hand just now, it is definitely not something on the tiger and leopard, if there is really a monster more ferocious than the tiger and leopard, we have a large group of people tonight, and we can worry about it. I don't want to kill all the tigers and leopards, I just hope that everyone can spend the night in the trees, which is a great luck.
Gou Bucai thought about it alone, Li Kecheng had already gone up the tree over there, standing on the tree about ten feet above the ground, not daring to call loudly, and shouted in a dumb voice: "Gou Bucai, come quickly!"
Gou Bucai looked at the tree, and Ying Yuqiu saw Li Kecheng waving straight to him.
Gou Bucai couldn't see any signs, Li Kecheng urged again, and wanted to rush forward, but as soon as he raised his legs, he tripped over a big rock on the ground, looked down in a panic, and couldn't help shouting, "Huh?"
It turned out that the sky was too dark, and there was a kind of non-smoke and fog floating in the surrounding deep forest, and the miasma spread in the white expanse was blurry and difficult to distinguish. After stumbling over this stumbling block, he stopped and looked down carefully, only to see that in this clearing, there seemed to be a lot of natural stone piers that could be sat and lying on with smooth rocks, which were of different sizes but were arranged in an orderly manner. Under the half-withered and half-luxuriant tree by the stream, there seems to be a stone platform like a big table, and the large and small stone piers in the open space are arranged around the stone platform, which is just placed in a half-moon shape, and there are no less than twenty large and small stone piers.
The more Gou Bucai looked, the more strange it became, could it be that in addition to a group of big insects, there were still uncivilized barbarians living in the cave with these many big insects?
Gou Bucai saw a few stone piers out of his mind, and suddenly the roar in the cave suddenly rose, like a thousand broken gongs rang out in unison, coming out from the bottom of the cave, buzzing and deafening! And the tiger roared together, suddenly rolled out a fishy smell from the cave, and immediately the ten thousand leaves in the valley were fluttering, roaring angrily with the wind, even where they were standing, the fallen leaves and fine sand under their feet were rolling all over the ground, and the momentum was really amazing.
Although Gou Bucai was tall and bold, he couldn't stay, he turned around in a panic, and the people at the point of his feet had already come over horizontally, and he had reached the tree where Li Kecheng was hiding several times in succession; a dry land plucked onions and rose one or two feet high, his arms were hugged forward, and his whole body was attached to the waist of the tree like mule glue, but there was still a few zhang away from where Li Kecheng was.
Gou Bucai exerted the tanuki's kung fu on the tree, and rose up with his limbs like a gecko, and when he reached the place where the branches were divided, he turned over the branches, moved the branches and crossed the trunks, and went straight to the place where Li Kecheng was hiding in one breath, before he stopped his body and let out a long breath.
And where he is happy, it is a big chacha with a summary of branches, there is a mortar in the center, it is like a soil pit, and the branches distributed on all sides are as thick as a cow's loin, this kind of primitive ancient wood is also rare, and only in the deep mountains in the northern region of the Purple Cloud Empire there are so many big trees. The two of them hid in the chaya, only one of the top of their heads was exposed, and if they wanted to see the four sides under the tree, they had to climb up the chaya and lean on the horizontal branch to see the myopia from afar.
Li Kecheng and Gou Bucai were willing to hide in the hearts of the chaya, of course, they each leaned on the branches half-squatting and half-sitting, peeking at the situation of the big worm coming out of the hole. Gou Bucai first paid attention to the hiding place of the five teams of warriors, knowing that it was on a few big trees nearby, and it was pitch black, how could he tell it. Fortunately, these teams of warriors are silent, or the trees are high and dark, so there will be no accidents for the time being.
When I looked back at the entrance of the cave, I was suddenly startled! Looking at it from afar, the entrance of the cave was like a bright lantern with tiger eyes, and a huge figure like a bull, and I could already see that there were seven or eight big insects outside the cave.
"It turned out to be the Red Sand Demon Tiger!" In the eyes of Li Kecheng, who is accustomed to hunting, he can only distinguish the roaring figure, and he can conclude that the cave is indeed a group of tigers, not a golden leopard.
Because when there is a stream in the hole, it originally flows out of the hole, and the tigers come out of the hole, and they are bound to step out. The tigers came out of the hole, rushed ashore, stirred up the stream at the mouth of the cave, and made a noise in the mountains, and the tigers rushed up to the north shore with a honeycomb, as long as they hid in the trees and did not make a sound, or did not lead to the woods on the south bank.
