Chapter 213: Deep Mountains and Great Forests, Surrounded by Tigers
"Oh my God? Is this a mosquito? ”
As if discovering an ancient evil beast, Pang Tong, a tough and confident person, shuddered at this. He thought that if the mosquito came to bite him, he would lose a measure of blood. If it's a group, don't you suck people dry?
For the first time, he thought he might have made a mistake by going up the mountain. After all, the terrain here is complicated, and he doesn't understand it at all. And those monster-like mosquitoes are also reminding him that it is better to walk honestly on the bright path.
Pang Tong took a sip of water, wiped the corners of his mouth, held the cowhide water bag in his hand, and looked at the winding road ahead.
"How much longer?"
The dejected leader shook his head. The boy was like a dead man, refusing to give a clear answer. Pang Tong really wanted to beat people, but he felt that this kid was actually quite pitiful. He may have gone to collect medicine, cut grass, or chop wood, but he was inexplicably called by him to lead the way. Mu Niu is not obliged to lead the way for Pang Tong, he is forced and reluctant. The words were already written on his pimple-ridden face. As if he was being treated as a villain, Pang Tong wanted to show his kindness, and he asked in a friendly way.
"Do you want water?"
Mu Niu shook his head again. But at least this response comforted Pang Tong, who took it all in exchange. He traded his amiable attitude for what he wanted. Try to erase your own domineering in this matter.
"You must know that if I negotiate with the Huyue clan, it will be peaceful here for a long time, and everyone will have a good life. You might be able to buy goods from the east, and you know, there are interesting handicrafts there. ”
Mu Niu hung his shoulders and constricted inward, looking like a bird. He did not respond to Pang Tong's words. These words made no sense to him, but Pang Tong thought that he was justifying everything he had done. For the sake of this righteousness, the occasional domineering is understandable. Although in the end it still goes against the ideas of this stubborn youth.
Pang Tong thought that he should have reached the position of the mountainside. At this moment, an uneasiness ignited. But the horse he sat down on walked quietly, and the reluctant Mu Niu in front of him maintained his decadent posture. Pang Tong's pupils looked at the forest to the left and right, and kept scanning. He closed his eyes with a confident and calm expression.
He was sending the desperation to attack him for the prying eyes hidden in the green shadows. A four-legged animal appeared in his mind's eye. The animal touched the ground with the palms of his softly contracted paws so as not to make too much noise. But none of this is possible without being discovered. Even within the horse's senses, unless the smell and body shape of the black-striped and yellow-haired tiger completely disappear. The horse neighed, trying to find a place to gallop away. Its sound pierced through the space and hit Mu Niu. When Mu Niu turned around in horror, the corner of his eye had already captured the big tiger flying at a speed that ordinary people couldn't reach.
Flocks of birds soar into the sky. Pang Tong turned over and dismounted, and after standing firmly, he watched the unrighteous brown horse run around. But the tiger's target was clearly not the horse, but the human, who seemed to be smaller than the horse.
Within a short distance, the tiger unleashed its killing skills, its claws sticking out from its palms, its sharp tips glistening in the sunlight. Its fangs were dripping with saliva, and its whiskers were as straight as iron pins.
When Pang Tong turned around lazily, Mu Niu shouted, "Be careful! ”
"Oh."
The tiger landed and pounced. When Mu Niu thought that Pang Tong should fall to the ground, what he saw was Pang Tong who was still standing. But at that moment the tiger should have pounced?
No, he noticed that Pang Tong's position had shifted two steps to one side. When the tiger passed just now, Pang Tong moved his body, and with a calm smile, let the beast pass by. He shuddered, did this person have an abnormal head, or did he not know the height of the sky?
The tiger's thick tail swept through the void like an iron whip, and it took a few steps backwards, its body pressed down, and it looked like it was about to pounce again. But Pang Tong found that there was a more dangerous killing opportunity than this simple-minded tiger, and his head tilted to the left, and a feathered arrow grazed his right ear.
He heard a woman's "ah", not because he had been hit in the vital spot, but because he was surprised. The tiger's nose to its upper lip was constantly shaking, as if it wanted to roar and be angry, saliva overflowing in the bloody mouth, and a human figure reflected in its eyes.
In the world of the invisible mind, Pang Tong discovered the alarm, and more than one object with body temperature and smell was approaching with its own unique footsteps. They trampled on leaves and soft mud, and the reckless cut off the short branches hidden under the leaves. All kinds of senses came together, and even the air was conveying a considerable message to Pang Tong.
"It's not fun."
He said loudly, as if he didn't care at all that there was a big tiger by his side and that there was a tiger companion in secret.
"It's none of my business!"
Mu Niu sat on the ground, constantly retreating. With his own eyes, he saw the majestic tigers that appeared in the visible vision. Each shoulder is at least five feet high, and the body is nine feet long, not counting the distance between the tails.
"Eight tigers, twenty-three." Pang Tong whispered silently, he must let his senses reach the highest level, otherwise he will definitely suffer under the pounce of these tigers of the enemy, coupled with the unknown attack methods of the hidden enemy. But if there are other ways to solve this crisis, it is the problem he thinks about himself.
Tigers, who feel heavier than adults, have surrounded Pang Tongtuan. Their momentum, their strategic purpose, their extreme restraint of their wildness, show their complete domestication.
"Who's in charge here, I'm not an intruder. I am the messenger of the Ren tribe, and I came to the mountain in order to make friends with the Huyue tribe. Am I traveling all the way to be treated by you? It's rude. ”
After he said this, the hostility of those around him relaxed a lot. Pang Tong sensed this from what they had weakened and what the Blade Demon called murderous. He began to speak more confidently: "The two armies will not kill the envoys in battle, not to mention that I am a friendly envoy, and you will use these tigers to entertain me?"
Someone stepped on the leaves and walked over, such an obvious sound, even Mu Niu should be able to hear it. But now the boy was scared to death, and fear filled his eardrums, beating his head, and where else could he hear any sound.
"If it's a man, stand up, what does it look like?"
Pang Tong looked at him, showing dissatisfaction. In his opinion, Mu Niu, who went up the mountain with him, was at least his accomplice, and it was too embarrassing to act as his partner with such a statement.
"You're still talking." A beautiful voice like a silver bell. Pang Tong is looking for prestige and is a plump woman about thirty years old. She had bronzed skin and was dressed in sleeveless leather armor that only enclosed her swollen breasts, and underneath her thin belly and waist. Her lower body was covered by a simple piece of fabric that was tightly strangled, and her hips twisted elastically as she walked. In her hand was an iron spine bow with iron bars embedded in the back of the bow, increasing its range and power. Because of this, the woman wondered why Pang Tong dodged that attack, but in the end, she buried the word "luck" in her heart.
"Yo, that's beautiful."
Pang Tong hugged his chest with a casual posture, and boldly looked up and down at the tall woman in his pupils.
The woman's bronzed skin was visibly flushed with red tides, her eyes were as angry as longan, and the iron spine worker in her hand raised it and pulled out a feather arrow from the long round barrel hanging behind her back. She bent her bow and arrows, and looked like she was about to kill her enemy.
"Wait!"
A male voice rang out behind him. A man in his thirties walked out, with well-developed chest muscles and a body that seemed to be in an inverted triangle. He pressed the woman's arm down.
"Thou shalt not kill the messenger."
"This man is extremely unreasonable."
"Eldest sister, I praise you, how can I say that I am unreasonable, it really breaks my heart." Pang Tong flickered his tongue, he was too confident in the verbal war. But just in case, he still has to add. "The stakes are high, please let me see the patriarch."
The shadows in the surrounding space had been on the sidelines. And that woman seems to have a certain weight, and that man has a heavier weight.
"I am Huyun, the son of the patriarch Tiger Guy. If you are a messenger, come with me. ”
As the man approached, the tiger began to retreat, loosening the encirclement. These big guys made Pang Tong stunned, they seemed to have spirituality, and they could feel the different attitudes of the Huyue people towards themselves at different times, and let them prepare and act. Pang Tong had a hypothesis in his mind: "The more off-road creatures can perceive the goodness and malice of people." ”
"I've finally found a sensible person." Pang Tong pretended to sigh, looking aggrieved. Suddenly, a lot of people came from all around, all of them were dressed in simple sleeveless brown leather armor like men. One of them pointed to Mu Niu, who was sitting on the ground like a quiet spectator.
"What about the Muti people?"
"Oh, it's my friend!" Pang Tong shouted: "The person he just took me up the mountain is a man of affection and righteousness. ”
"No! He forced me! Mu Niu bounced off the ground. Pang Tong was shocked, what he heard was a coherent voice, could it be that this kid has been pretending to be garlic? That acting skill is a bit too much, if it is in the time and space where Pang Tong is located, he will definitely be able to win an actor. However, Pang Tong doesn't have a good impression of this kid now, and he hates those who deceive him the most.
"He brought me here." He said. The expression is calm.
"No...... No...... No! ”
Suddenly, Mu Niu, whose hands were constantly shaking in front of his chest, turned into a stutter again, and the transition between the two was so natural that there seemed to be no flaws in pretending.
Pang Tong, who was a little confused, stared at him. And the man who claimed to be the son of the patriarch of the Huyue clan frowned and said, "The Muti clan is the object of my protection, how can I casually take outsiders up the mountain, this is against the spirit of the alliance." ”
