Volume 1 First Advent Primal Chapter 23 Shoot the Sabertooth Tiger
In the evening, after dinner, Ding Qi sat in front of the fire and stared at a burning wooden hair in the bonfire, his hair had covered his ears, a little messy, and his back looked tall and swaying in the light of the fire. At his feet, there was a little cutie who was also staring at the fire in a daze, her little ears twitched twice from time to time, and it seemed to know Ding Qi's current thoughts, silently, quietly accompanying him.
After a long time, Ding Qi, who raised his head from his deep thought, wiped away a tear from the corner of his eye, and exhaled a long breath of turbidity in his chest, as if saying goodbye to his past self.
"Little cutie, we will depend on each other in the future, please take care of me!"
Ding Qi touched the lynx's smooth fur and smiled at it.
The cutie became more and more able to understand or understand what Ding Qi said, and rubbed her head against Ding Qi's leg, although she did not make a sound, but expressed her thoughts with a silent action.
Picked up the half-woven fish cage on the side, took out a bamboo strip and added it, continued the unfinished fish cage, and put a finished fish cage at the door, but it was as ugly as the bamboo back basket. A pimple rose at the corner of his mouth, he had been eating barbecue and drinking mushroom and wild vegetable soup for the past few days, and the rice and compressed dry food were hidden by him like a baby, and he felt particularly hot. He felt the need to improve his life, so he prepared to weave two fish cages and put them in the small river at the bottom of the hillside to catch fish.
Outside the door, there was the sound of the lamb family chewing grass, snorting from time to time, and the snapping sound of flicking their tails to drive away mosquitoes. As he caught them, Tinch was stunned by the one-foot-long tail behind the ewe, which was very different from the sheep he had seen before. If it weren't for the fact that they looked and cried like sheep, Ding Qi almost thought that he had caught the wrong one!
Ding Qi made it up quickly, and by the time it was close to eleven o'clock, the fish cage was already in the finishing touches. And just as he was about to finish this little work and go to bed early, the little cutie who was already asleep at his feet suddenly stood up, and let out a threatening roar with his head outward, as if there was some beast outside. Ding Qi's heart tightened, and when he was about to reassure the little cutie not to be nervous, a strong wind suddenly blew outside, and the two sheep in the sheepfold followed with a frightened bleating sound, which continued.
Ding Qi, who realized that the situation was wrong, quickly got up and wound his bow, put on his shoulder, wrapped a flying stone rope around his waist, grabbed a quiver full of arrows that he had made in the past few days and carried it behind his back, turned out a small flashlight that had not been used for a long time and put it in his jacket pocket, and rushed out of the wooden house with a burning firewood.
It was so dark that the eye could only see where the fire was shining, and it was not clear whether there were any wild beasts lurking anywhere else. Just as Ding Qi hesitated whether to throw the firewood and use the flashlight to find the beast, a roar like a tiger roaring and a lion's roar came from the direction of the hillside behind the house, and the surrounding trees trembled.
Ding Qi followed the direction from which the sound came to the right side of the wooden house, leaning against the wooden wall and looking behind, only to see a pair of huge light bulbs lit up, flickering, fluttering up and down, like a ghost fire, bright and uncertain. Of course, Ding Qi, who was on guard, would not think that it was a ghost fire formed by phosphorus fire, he knew that the other party should be a big cat similar to a saber-toothed tiger, and the other party's eyes were lit up.
When tracking the cannibal tribe before, Ding Qi only saw the scene of the leopard sneaking up on humans, but did not see the scene of the saber-toothed tiger preying on humans the night before, so the way of cat hunting in the primitive era was limited to the scene in the previous animal world and the scene of the leopard's sneak attack.
Ding Qi was a little nervous, and his palms were sweaty. In order to confirm the identity of the other party, he first threw the burning firewood in his hand far away to the location of the two light bulbs, and then took out a flashlight and shone it at the other party.
Syllable!
The flashlight lit up, and Ding Qi just saw the other party's action of dodging the burning firewood, and followed the image of the other party in his eyes.
Sabertooth Tiger!
Ding Qi knows he's in trouble!
This is the third time he has faced the saber-toothed tiger, the first time is when he met primitive people on the hillside and sleeps in the tree at night, and condescendingly meets the saber-toothed tiger, and the saber-toothed tiger has no interest in him in the tree; The second time was when I caught the lamb's family some time ago, I looked directly at the rushing saber-toothed tiger, and the other party didn't see Ding Qi at all; And this time is the third time, and it is clear that the saber-toothed tiger who has wandered from nowhere has Tinchi and the two sheep for dinner tonight. It watched for a long time, and it cared, it was a dinner at your fingertips.
Very generous dinner!
The saber-toothed tiger seemed to be afraid of the fire on the ground, and walked directly towards Ding Qi after going around, his steps were very steady, revealing a sense of confidence, as if he was holding the victory, and he was almost taking the steps that the six relatives did not recognize.
Seeing that the saber-toothed tiger was a little afraid of the flames, Ding Qi's heart settled down a little. Taking advantage of the fact that the other party was a little far away from him and was defenseless, Ding Qi adjusted the small flashlight to the spotlight mode, stuck it between his left hand and the bow arm, raised the bow and faced the saber-toothed tiger, put on an arrow, and shot it out after aiming for a while.
The swift arrow slashed through the darkness, striking the saber-toothed tiger's neck, and a puddle of blood spurted out
"Roar!"
The saber-toothed tiger that was strolling was suddenly wounded, and the splattered blood and flesh pain instantly angered it. Ignoring the injury on his neck, he raised his limbs and rushed towards Ding Qi at a fast speed.
Ding Qi couldn't grasp the direction of the other party's travel, so he shot an arrow indiscriminately forward, but he didn't expect the blind cat to touch the dead mouse and shoot the saber-toothed tiger in the right front leg, causing it to roar again. It's hateful that what it thought was a simple meal had caused it to be injured twice in succession!
Ding Qi quickly turned around, rushed into the cabin, grabbed a few burning sticks of firewood, and rushed out of the house, throwing the firewood between the cabin and the sheepfold, lighting up the open space between the two. Then he turned his head and climbed up to the roof along the herringbone wooden ladder under the eaves, stretched out his bow and arrows, and stared at the two light bulbs that were rushing quickly, his eyes unblinking. At this moment, Tinch's heart was pounding, and he felt incredible what he had done in an instant.
The injured saber-toothed tiger had gone berserk, and its speed was so fast that it had already rushed to the front of the wooden house in a few breaths, and it roared at Ding Qi who had injured it! As if to say: Boy, come down for me and meet my wrath!
At this time, the two sheep in the sheepfold and the baby lynx in the wooden house were also very frightened when they heard the roar of the beast at close range, and they stayed in their own space and trembled, but they did not dare to make a sound, and they did not cause trouble for Dingqi.
Just as the saber-toothed tiger opened its mouth to roar to vent his anger, Ding Qi saw an opportunity to shoot an arrow at its open mouth with the help of the firelight, but the arrow was a little off the line and did not hit its throat. Sharp stone arrows pierced through the two long teeth of the saber-toothed tiger and stabbed into its tongue.
Roar.. Woo~
The sharp pain rushed to the saber-toothed tiger's brain, causing it to roar wildly and roll in place, stirring up dust in the sky, and its roar quickly turned into a whine. It kept scratching at the arrow with its claws, hoping to catch it down, but to no avail, and even made itself more painful.
The constant spray of blood, the pain in his body, and the fear brought by the bamboo arrows calmed the saber-toothed tiger and turned over to run away the way it came. Ding Qi, who was standing on the roof, would not let it get his wish, seeing that it was about to escape, he raised his bow and shot again, and the stone arrow was fiercely nailed into the opponent's abdomen at close range, leaving only the tail of the arrow outside.
But this arrow still could not stop the saber-toothed tiger from escaping, and kept fleeing all the way to the mountain.
This stupid saber-toothed tiger used his arrogance and ignorance to prove to history once again how terrible the armed human being is, and how many large animals and beasts of prey were exterminated by the armed human being was not accidental, but inevitable!
And Ding Qi did not give the saber-toothed tiger any chance to harm himself and the two sheep, and used his bow and arrow to defeat the man-eating beast and protect himself and his property.
