Volume 1 Building the City Chapter 87 The First Hunt (8) (Proofreading)
A tiger roar appeared out of thin air, both suddenly, and in everyone's expectation, I felt that I didn't expect that the first one to arrive was such a large cat, known as the king of the jungle tiger.
The tiger is a territorial animal, there is no fixed nest, and the range of activity can reach 100 square kilometers, which means that his territory is so wide, so its arrival is expected.
The tiger is known as the king of the forest, but it is not in vain, as a solitary beast, its body length can reach 3~5 meters. A whip-like tail can be more than a meter long.
The weight can reach 300~500 kg, fortunately, the proud kings are alone, if they also live in groups like wild boars, then other animals really have no way to live.
As the roar of the tiger came from far and near, I saw a roar to the left of the high platform again, and a large colorful tiger swooped out of the bushes.
Open the bloody mouth, baring sharp teeth, erecting the tail, the tiger's tail sweeping the bushes, brushing chaotically, the yellow and black striped leather jacket, the long tail like a steel whip on the buttocks, the bloody mouth is open, a pair of green eyes shoot a fierce light, and they are looking around greedily and viciously.
The eyes that shot a fierce gaze were like two green night pearls, a bloody mouth, roaring, and the mountains and rocks trembled......
After the sound of the tiger's roar came, everyone quickly climbed up several big trees on the gable, and watched vigilantly with bows and arrows in the direction from which the tiger's roar came.
Wang Tian overlapped two large nets, tied thick straw ropes to the four corners of the nets, connected them with a rope, and threw the entrails of pheasants smeared with the blood of wild boars into the nets.
After the trap was set, under the urging of everyone, Wang Tian took the rope, quickly climbed up the trunk, adjusted the length of the rope and waited.
The king of the jungle, who came out of the grass, walked gracefully with catwalks, step by step approached the high platform with the strongest bloody aura, and walked up with light and silent steps.
Everyone was relieved to see that the tiger was not near the puddle where the wild boar was accumulated.
It seems that the food that everyone has worked so hard to catch has not been found for the time being, and the water and soil have successfully covered the blood.
When they found that the tiger was walking towards the high platform, everyone held their breath, and Wang Tian motioned for the person under the tree trunk to climb up some more distance.
The tiger generally does not climb trees, because there is no need, standing at the top of the food chain, there is nothing to force him to climb trees to save his life, but this does not mean that he cannot climb trees.
The hind limbs of the tiger are very powerful, and its huge body can be seven or eight meters tall when it stands upright against a big tree, and it is not a problem for the hind limbs to jump up to ten meters with a kick.
To be on the safe side, all the people of the tribe climbed to the top of the tree branches at a height of more than 15 meters above the ground, and although they were so high above the ground, most of them were still trembling.
As the king of the jungle, the tiger is the same as the god to primitive people, and tigers, leopards, bears, and wolves are common in the totems of many tribes.
The tiger who walked up to the high platform saw the people of the tribe at a glance, and after squinting at it, he roared again in the direction where everyone was.
This is Chi Guoguo's contempt and warning, it didn't pay attention to the dozens of two-legged monkeys on the tree at all, but when Wang Tian saw it, he thought of a cartoon from his childhood - "Little Tabby"
Human beings who were still at the bottom of the food chain in the primitive era had no say at all in the jungle, and those weak chickens did not take humans in their eyes, not to mention the king of the jungle.
But the king does not mean that there is no one to challenge, just when this little tabby was angry that there was no food under the bloody breath of the sky, in the distance in front of the high platform, three of its close relatives, the same feline leopard, ran.
The three leopards seem to be a family, two large and one small, and the smaller one is also close to adulthood.
The leopard, which is very similar to a tiger, but is not as huge as a tiger, generally between one and two meters, and as a sprinter of athletes, it moves extremely quickly in a short period of time.
These two adult leopards should have reached two meters in length, which is already huge compared to their counterparts in later generations.
The little tabby let out a long tiger roar again, giving a long warning to the three uninvited guests who had intruded into his territory.
Two adult leopards were in front, and the baby leopards were always trailing 20 paces away, falling neither fast nor slow.
The family of three seemed to be hungry, and climbed the high platform at a very fast speed, ignoring the small tabby-like demonstration, the tiger's roar, and after coming up, one big and one small began to lick and eat, and the wild boar blood stains on the high platform.
The other is responsible for keeping an eye on the little tabby, and constantly moving as it moves.
For the intrusion of the three uninvited guests, the little tabby let out a long whistle and began the expulsion operation.
Its target was the leopard cub first, because the leopard had already seen the pheasant entrails that Wang Tian had lined up in order to lure the cub tabby into the fishing net trap.
The proud king generally disdains the carrion and the food that comes his way, but not eating it himself does not mean that he can let other beasts of prey obtain the food that should belong to him in his own territory.
The current situation is 3 to 1, and the little tabby is not stupid enough to think that Lao Tzu can go sideways if he is the first in the world, and the actions he is taking now are just driving away and swearing the territory, and he is not stupid enough to come up and bite the teeth.
As a ferocious carnivore, they all have their own territory, as the so-called one mountain does not allow two tigers, the territory is a guarantee for them to obtain enough food, for the leopard, this beast that can compete with themselves, the little tabby is resolutely not allowed to let him break into the territory.
After the little tabby declared his territory according to the laws of nature, he realized that the three beggars had no intention of retreating, and he knew that he had to do something.
The tiger knew what to do, and Wang Tian and the tribe on the tree also knew that they should do something, so it was not a way to wait.
If it was just a tiger, it would have been possible for everyone to hunt it down after falling into a trap, but after the appearance of the three kittens, such an intention became impractical.
The reason why the crowd was able to deal with a group of wild boars was because the wild boars had limited attack methods, except for charging and attacking with the pair of huge fangs, there were basically no other means of attack.
But unlike the four cats in front of him, the little tabby's nearly 500-kilogram body did not make his movements sluggish.
On the contrary, its huge weight, combined with his flexible forelimbs, thick and powerful hind limbs, and its tail like a steel whip, moves and flutters, and jumps and bites with extraordinary agility.
The leopard, which is also a feline, is naturally not far behind, and its daunting instantaneous speed is their strong point.
If you want to fight with such 4 big cats, unless Wang Tianyou puts AK47, it will be a sudden and straightforward thing.
After the three parties confronted each other for a while, the little tabby, as the intruder, launched an attack on the little leopard that was eating in order to maintain his authority.
He roared angrily and launched a feint attack on the little leopard, but his real target was the male leopard who was in charge.
Wang Tian, who was standing on a high place, saw all this in his eyes, and the biggest enemy in front of him was undoubtedly these three leopards, whether it was to help the little tabby, kill them or drive them away, it would be beneficial to his side.
After making up his mind, Wang Tian's hand holding the bow and crossbow had already pulled the trigger, and his target was the same as that of the baby tabby - the adult male leopard.
The sound of breaking the sky sounded, and with the launch of Wang Tian's bow and crossbow, everyone's arrows also shot overwhelmingly.
The fur of these four big cats was not as thick as that of wild boars, and the arrows with sharpened stone arrows hit their targets at such close range.
In a terrifying roar of tigers and leopards, 4 big cats were shot by 36 arrows, and the money leopard in charge was directly pierced through the head by the crossbow arrows shot by Wang Tian at close range, and was nailed to the ground.
The other three big cats, after being attacked by the tribesmen, all pounced on the gable.
