Chapter 549: Tiger Roars in the Night
The night is quiet, the insects are contending, chirping, each coquettish, and the starlight like mercury on the ground, like a baby crying night birds, adding a little mystery and a little frightening to this dark jungle.
Yu Wenli fell asleep, leaning on the trunk of the tree, wrapping rattan around her waist, and holding Xu Wenlong tightly with both hands. She had been trekking along the River of Hope all day, and she was already tired and tired, and she fell asleep with a little anxiety and fear without a few words. Although she would love to see the mysterious jungle at night, and the strange animals that lurk in the jungle at night. However, Xu Wenlong hadn't slept yet, he still had a pair of shining eyes and watched closely the movement under the tree, and he also pricked up two keen ears to listen carefully to all the strange noises around him. Of course, he is not tired, sleepy, or sleepy, nor is it to satisfy his momentary curiosity, but out of the sacred duty of guardian, he strives to create a peaceful and serene rest environment for Yu Wenli.
Cricket, in the starlight like water, a five- or six-meter-long python quietly burrowed out of the bushes, slowly slid across the soft swamp, silently crossed the gurgling river of hope, and disappeared into the dense thatch.
A raging wild boar with a group of piglets swaggered out, with its long nose arched east and west, chewed a few handfuls of wild vegetables and swallowed a few wild fruits, and then walked away along the lower reaches of the Hope River.
The anteater passed by the river, with a pointed beak and a sharp tail, and a round belly, and walked out of the jungle like a gentleman, and then leisurely and clumsily disappeared into the bushes, and left with the trembling of vines and blades.
A capybara like a giant rat came, jumped into the River of Hope and left. The two unknown monsters with "lanterns" above their heads quietly came to the waterhole, looked up in the direction of Xu Wenlong for a moment, and then wilted and fled into the jungle to lose their figures......
Xu Wenlong sat quietly on the tall water banyan tree, watching silently, and his heart boiled like a river overturning the sea. Alas, Lucky Island, Lucky Island, although you are rich in resources and do not worry about eating and drinking, when will you be able to leave here? When will I be able to rescue my beloved Shiqi? Don't...... Do you have to be trapped here and die here for the rest of your life? You must know that in the vast Pacific Ocean, there are many large and small islands, and the isolated islands that no one has set foot on are like river sand, and who will pay attention to this small one? Oh my God, this is so cruel, so heartless, it's unimaginable! Xu Wenlong thought about the tree for a while, thought for a while, and slowly, gradually, he was sleepy, his eyelids were heavy, and he and Yu Wenli leaned side by side on the trunk of the tree and slowly closed their eyes......
Woo - a roar, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, like a landslide and a crack, in this mysterious and secluded jungle, it is particularly piercing and shocking. It was as if the world froze, the air froze, and there was a dead silence around them. It's terrifyingly quiet, so quiet that people's hairs stand on end.
Xu Wenlong shivered excitedly in the confusion, and almost fell from the water banyan tree.
At the same time, Yu Wenli, who was sleeping, also opened her eyes, instinctively hugged Xu Wenlong, and said with her upper and lower teeth clucking: "Old ...... Tiger...... Should...... Damn the tiger again...... Again...... It...... Why is it always cloudy...... The ghost is following us...... Why not be ...... Don't be struck to death by lightning...... Not burned to death by lightning ......"
"Shhhhh Even if it did, it wouldn't be able to climb the tree. β
Yu Wenli was helpless, so she had to endure the extreme fear in her heart, trembling her body and clinging to Xu Wenlong, puffing out a pair of frightened eyes, and she didn't even dare to come out......
Yo Yo Yo, with a series of terrible chirps, I saw a slender deer stumbling out of the woods under the bright moon that had just risen, and stepped into the swamp in a panic, spreading its light and flustered four hooves, and running towards the opposite side of the River of Hope......
Moments later, the jungle flashed with golden light, and a fierce and agile tiger leaped out of a pile of bushes, following the frightened fawn into the swamp......
Poof, mud rises everywhere, blooming like a flower. The colorful tiger leaps into the swamp, thinking that it will be easy to capture the fawn and feast on it. Unexpectedly, the front legs were weak, and an upside-down onion fell into the damp and soft silt......
Fortunately, the tiger is also very smart, and at the moment when it gnawed on the mud in its mouth, it immediately lay flat, its hind legs straightened, its buttocks slammed down, its neck was lifted upward, and its front hooves were pulled out of the mud, and it turned its body one hundred and eighty degrees, and put its front paws on the edge of the swamp with a poof, and grabbed the hard claws that did not let go......
The fawn escaped from the tiger's claws in one fell swoop, and with its light and dexterous body, it left the roaring tiger and jumped out of the swamp, and several vertical jumps crossed the River of Hope and burrowed into the opposite jungle without a trace.
Xu Wenlong and Yu Wenli on the tree looked at each other, both of them opened their mouths and couldn't speak for a long time. My dear, how smart and witty does this damn tiger have to be to escape the trap and get out of the trap with all his might?
However, this is not the case. With brute strength, the tiger pulled out its deep muddy front legs in one fell swoop, and successfully grabbed the hard dirt on the shore. It's just that because of the excessive force on the hind legs and the excessive weight, the whole ass has already been stuck in the swamp and can't extricate itself. What's even more terrifying is that although the soil on the edge of the swamp is hard and reliable, it can't withstand the desperate scratching of the tiger's front paws, and has slowly begun to loosen and fall off, and slowly slides towards the swamp...... At this time, the tiger probably felt that the general situation was not good, and in despair, he raised his head to the sky and roared, the voice was sad and mournful, tragic and long, and echoed over the jungle for a long time.
Xu Wenlong breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the tiger that was stuck in the mud and couldn't move, and said: "It's okay now, even if it has the ability to fly into the sky, it can't escape the fate of being trapped in the swamp." β
"Yes, yes, it's really an eye." Yu Wenli also clapped her hands and shouted happily, "That damn brute caused us to hide in Tibet and run for our lives, and we almost took our lives to find a suitable place to live." This is good, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself and fall into the quagmire, right? No way, right? See how far else you can run rampant? See how long you can go on the rampage? Just wait a little longer, and see if I can't go down to pick your skin and pull your tendons? β
The tiger clung to the dirt on the edge of the swamp, and was helpless and helpless with the strength to shake the mountain. Seeing the batter-like dirt slowly engulf its butt and gradually drown its torso, it turned its head in despair and whined at the water banyan tree on the cliff.
Yu Wenli was taken aback, and couldn't help but ask Xu Wenlong in confusion: "Is it ...... Did it find us? Don't...... Is it crying out for help? How is this ...... How is this possible? Is it a good idea? β
Xu Wenlong nodded and replied, "If you find it, you must have found it." Because it has a keen sense of hearing and smell, it can sense the slightest abnormal movement and smell around it. As for whether it is asking us for help, it is difficult to say, I think it should be, after all, the tiger is also a very spiritual animal. β
"I think eighty percent of them are asking us for help!" Yu Wenli trembled slightly, and silently pinned her head to the side. For some reason, a trace of inexplicable sadness suddenly filled her body, making her feel the urge to cry for a while.
Woo-woo, the tiger frequently turned back, roaring from time to time, and his voice was sad and full of despair. At this time, it has completely lost the majesty of the king of the jungle, and the sword has become a tame appearance.
"Alas-" Yu Wenli sighed, looking at Xu Wenlong in a daze, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped.
Xu Wenlong shook his head and pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with you?" When did it become so sentimental? Haven't you been praying for the heavens to clean up this abominable tiger? Now that your wish has come true, it can no longer run rampant in the forest, why is it suddenly unhappy again? β
Yu Wenli slowly lowered her head, and replied with a slurred mouth: "But this ...... But that's a little too cruel, isn't it? Stuck in the quagmire, unable to extricate himself, having difficulty breathing, choking to death. This is ...... This is ...... Alas...... Forget it, I'm just ...... I can't imagine it anymore......"
Although Xu Wenlong couldn't bear it and wanted to help the tiger, after thinking about it, he still felt that safety was more important, especially Yu Wenli's life safety. He sighed softly and replied with a solemn face: "When it chases us and bites us one day, you won't feel cruel at all!" β
"But I'm ...... But I can't bear to see it die like this! Yu Wenli frowned, and an indescribable sadness appeared on her face. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but grab Xu Wenlong's arm and keep shaking, "Didn't you say that tigers are very spiritual animals?" Since it knows how to ask us for help, it means that it has feelings and can share the bad. If we save it now, I guess...... I guess it won't hurt us in the future! Maybe they'll be our best friends? Just like a novice in the sea! β
Xu Wenlong replied with a wry smile: "Don't be naΓ―ve. Xiaobai is a dolphin and one of the most tame and kind marine animals. Tigers, on the other hand, are ferocious, ferocious, wild, and aggressive, and are largely untamable. β
"That'...... And what about the tigers in the zoo? Wasn't it tamed by the breeder? It's not fierce at all! β
"That's the result of long-term domestication! It can't change its murderous nature in a short period of time! β
"But at least it can show that its nature is not too bad, and it should be worth saving." Yu Wenli replied with a mutter, and then said in an almost pleading tone, "So...... I think...... If there's anything we can do to save it, shouldn't we give it a try? At least...... At least don't sit idly by. This...... Who can stand this? β
Xu Wenlong spread his hands and looked helpless: "There is no way!" It's too deep and it doesn't have the right tools. Besides, if it is rescued, what if it is ungrateful and ferocious, and turns around and bites us? Isn't this Hades hanging himself for a long time? β
Woo, another desperate lookback, another long wail, the tiger under the moonlight has lost most of its body.
