The white-fronted tiger in ancient novels actually refers to the South China tiger, that is, the orthodox Chinese tiger. As for the Bengal tiger, it is only distributed across the border in Metuo, Tibet, the Siberian tiger lives in the northeast and Siberia, and the Xinjiang tiger is also the Caspian tiger, which is in Central Asia and Xinjiang, these places are not currently under the direct control of the central dynasty, and the white-fronted tiger that has been widely used in Chinese literary and historical works for thousands of years can only be the South China tiger.

Unlike the endangered South China tiger in the 21st century, the South China tiger at this time was widely distributed throughout the southern region, and also had a small distribution in Shaanxi, Henan, Shanxi, Gansu and other places in the north.

The South China tiger that appeared in front of him should be a male tiger, with a large body, more than six feet long, and probably about 200 to 250 pounds, which is considered a behemoth. At this time, the tiger was in a predatory state, its body was only close to the ground, its huge front paws made a gesture to pounce at any time, its sharp claws stretched out of its claw sheath, firmly grasping the ground, and the two eyes that showed a fierce light stared at Li Ye deadly. No, to be precise, staring at the sambar deer behind Li Ye.

It stands to reason that there should not be such beasts in the mountainous areas that have been cleaned up by the forbidden army, but this is not a special royal garden after all, and it was only cleaned up yesterday, so it is normal for fish to slip through the net. This tiger was attracted by the smell of blood before, and then followed Li Ye and his party, but soon gave up, originally this tiger was preparing to hunt the sambar herd in front of him, who would have thought that Li Ye and others would be cut off.

Looking at the tiger in front of him, Li Ye was also startled, and he couldn't help but take two steps back. This is not a tiger seen in the zoo, but a wild tiger, and his heart is pounding, although there are hundreds of soldiers behind him, he is still a little nervous.

"Your Highness, what should I do?"

Compared with Li Ye, who could still maintain his calm appearance, Liu Chenyan's frightened face turned pale, and she subconsciously approached Li Ye.

In front of the woman, how could Li Ye show his comfort, and immediately said, "Don't be afraid, we will subdue this tiger today." ”

Li Ye's arrogance also added a lot of courage to Liu Chenyan, and the tension in her heart was slightly relieved.

Looking at the tiger that was about to move, Li Ye slowly opened his bow, pulled up the bowstring, and aimed at the head of the tiger forty paces away.

The tiger's eyes shrank and he was about to pounce forward, when a sharp arrow burst through the air, feeling the cold light of the arrow, and the animal's instinct made it realize that it had to dodge. But the arrow was too fast, and although its head dodged, with a 'poof', the arrow hit the opponent's left front leg directly, and although it did not penetrate its front leg, blood splattered.

The pain in the leg made the tiger beastly angry, and an earth-shattering tiger roar suddenly sounded in the mountains and forests, the king of the forest was mighty, a large number of birds and birds fluttered their wings and flew, and even the horses of the back team were restless, but fortunately, the comfort of the master did not get out of control.

Looking at the human who had already raised his bow and arrow again, the tiger's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he stepped back and clung to the ground tightly, and then desperately pounced on the hateful human in his eyes.

Soon Li Ye's second arrow was shot, but this time it was not so lucky, the tiger jumped forward, dodged the arrow, and then continued to pounce on Li Ye. At this moment, a scream came out of the tiger's mouth, and I didn't know when, a feather arrow was inserted in the tiger's right eye, but it turned out that Liu Chenyan was following Li Ye's second arrow, and also shot an arrow. It's just that the tiger can dodge an arrow, but it can't dodge Liu Chenyan's arrow.

"Protect Your Highness!"

The tigers who were injured one after another did not escape because of this, but rushed towards Li Ye like crazy, Li Hong immediately roared, and then dozens of personal soldiers surrounded him. Just as these soldiers were about to raise their bows to shoot the tiger, Li Ye waved his hand, "Don't move." ”

Saying that, Li Ye quickly shot the third arrow, and he did not shoot the tiger's left eye, but shot at the opponent's injured left front leg. However, this time it was not rubbing the skin, but directly shot through its left front leg, and the running tiger suddenly fell forward and fell less than twenty steps away from Li Ye.

But when the tiger got up again, he saw that Li Ye, an abominable human being, no longer wanted to eat, but wanted to run.

Seeing the injured tiger, Li Ye was about to move, so he took his saber from the deputy pawn army on the side, and fought with the tiger, but it was still not possible to match the sword, only the horizontal knife was capable of the enemy, but Li Hong stopped him.

"Your Highness, the injured tiger is manic, His Highness is not his opponent, don't take risks."

Li Ye wanted to be stubborn, but when he saw Li Hong standing in front of him, he didn't back down, so he gave up.

"The tiger has run away!"

Just when Li Ye gave up fighting with the tiger, Li Yi's cry came from behind, Li Ye hurriedly looked, it turned out that when there was no movement on their side, the tiger limped towards the depths of the woods.

Li Ye and Liu Chenyan looked at each other and smiled, then raised their bows and arrows at the same time, 'whoosh' and 'whoosh' twice, and then the tiger in the distance screamed, but it still couldn't stop the tiger from escaping. Li Ye couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, his bow was not strong enough, and although the tiger was limping, his movements were still very good, Li Ye's arrows only hit the tiger's buttocks, and they did not penetrate the flesh, although it hurt, it did not affect the tiger's movements.

"What are you doing? Catch up with that tiger for this king, and you must catch it today. ”

Seeing that the tiger had run away, Li Ye was a little anxious, he was more than a dozen steps away from his horse, and it was too late at all, so he could only command the soldiers riding horses next to him.

Just as the soldiers were preparing to act, Li Hong picked up his two-stone bow and set up an iron arrow to shoot at the fleeing tiger. As the iron arrow hit the target, the tiger let out a terrible cry, and then fell unwillingly, and the eyes of everyone looking at Li Hong changed a little, but most of them were envious.

Guarded by his own soldiers, Li Ye hurriedly chased after him and found that the tiger was pierced through the back by an arrow, and the arrow was still piercing the tiger. When Li Ye came to the tiger's side, the tiger was not dead, but it was also more angry and less breathless, if there was a chance to regret it, the tiger would definitely run far away at the beginning. But the tiger has no human thinking, knowing that he is not capable of the enemy, but he still has to be strong, and finally put his life on the line.

"It's a pity that this fur is ruined."

Seeing the blood-stained tiger and the few arrows on his body, Li Ye was a little disappointed.

"Please punish Your Highness!" Li Hong folded his hands and pleaded guilty.

"It's okay, that's what the king said!" Li Ke waved his hand, turned to a smile, and laughed, "Come on, tie up this tiger, with this tiger, this king wants to see who can surpass this king today." ”

After hunting this tiger, Li Ye lost interest in other prey, and later became the home of Princess Anhua, Li Yi and others, and he kept thinking about the tiger that was tied. Everyone hunted outside for about three hours before returning to the camp, and when they were about to arrive at the camp, Li Ye and his party met the emperor and his party who were also fully loaded.

Li Yi was very surprised to see that Li Ye and his party actually hunted a tiger, and he also heard the tiger roar before, but he didn't expect that Li Ye shot the tiger. Although he was a little surprised, Li Yi was not dissatisfied with anything, he had a lot of gains today, there were more than a dozen wild boars and sambar deer, and there was also a clouded leopard. However, the clouded leopard is not big, only 40 pounds.

On the contrary, the wild boar he hunted was more than 300 catties, which was larger than the tiger Li Ye hunted. Of course, the wild boar is not easy to hunt, Li Yi has not yet reached the level where he can hunt more than 300 catties of wild boar alone, and finally hunted the wild boar with the help of a group of forbidden soldiers and paid the price of several injuries.

"King Shou, I didn't expect this tiger to be encountered by you. I heard the tiger roar just now, but I didn't expect to be hunted by you, yes, yes, fortunately, I am not bad, I hunted a big wild boar, otherwise I may really be compared by you. Li Yi pointed to the wild boar that was carried by the ten forbidden soldiers, quite complacent.

"The royal brother is still the imperial brother, and the younger brother still wants to compete for the top spot, but I didn't expect to be easily surpassed by the imperial brother." Li Ye smiled bitterly.

"You're not bad, I also want to hunt a tiger, but I didn't find it for a long time, I thought there were no tigers, but you can hunt tigers here, which proves that there are other tigers nearby. Tomorrow, I'll go farther away and try to hunt a tiger as well. We'll see how they get later. ”

Li Yi laughed, at this time he also saw Liu Chenyan behind Li Ye. Seeing this situation, Li Yi raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but look at Liu Chenyan more, and he was also a little stunned, but he quickly recovered, and then looked at Li Ye with a wicked smile.
