Chapter 6: The Wounded Saber-Toothed Tiger
The appearance of the saber-toothed tiger made these mammoths feel the threat of life, and the mammoths in the back slowly moved closer together, but the head elephant in front did not retreat.
"Ang~"
The elephant raised its head, its long nose cocked high, and let out a long roar in the sky, and a white air stream erupted from its nose.
"Roar~"
The saber-toothed tiger opened its bloody mouth and roared in response, not wanting to confront a giant mammoth twice its size, but instead moving to the side, waiting for an opportunity to find a breakthrough.
Ye Xiao and the three of them were lying on the hillside quietly watching all this, this was a real prehistoric monster fight, which was much more exciting than what they had watched on TV before.
Two different behemoths confronted each other, and the atmosphere in the canyon seemed to freeze.
The saber-toothed tiger seemed to have found a gap, roared, and quickly rushed towards the elephant, which also howled when it saw the saber-toothed tiger rushing over, and its huge body also ran towards the saber-toothed tiger, and the four thick elephant legs left huge footprints in the snow.
The distance between the two is only tens of meters, and the speed of the saber-toothed tiger is very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it is less than ten meters away from the head elephant, and the elephant proboscis flicks it towards the saber-toothed tiger.
Just when Ye Xiao thought that the saber-toothed tiger would be hit by the elephant's trunk, the saber-toothed tiger stepped back, jumped up, and turned directly to the side of the head elephant, fell to the ground on all fours, and a few ran past the head elephant and pounced backwards, all of which happened between the lightning and flint.
The elephant was too inertial to contain its strength, and its long trunk fell into the air and whipped into the snow, and for a while the snowflakes splashed everywhere, and the trunk was retracted, leaving a huge ravine in the snow.
What a strategy, Ye Xiao had to praise the intelligence of the saber-toothed tiger, with the size between them, Ye Xiao estimated that the biggest threat to the saber-toothed tiger was the leader, and no one could help anyone for a while.
However, the saber-toothed tiger relied on its own flexibility to directly cross the head elephant, and without the head elephant in the way, the saber-toothed tiger went straight to the baby elephant.
"Ang~"
The elephant howled anxiously, kicked its front legs to the ground, and tried to stop its body, but because of its large size, it still couldn't stop sliding forward, until its body hit a big tree, and then stopped.
The big tree rattled as it was hit by an elephant, its trunk swayed, and the snow fell from the tree.
The elephant turned around, looked at the saber-toothed tiger and went straight to the figure of the little mammoth, and there was another long howl, and the huge body hit the tree again, and then Ye Xiao and they heard the sound of the trunk being overwhelmed, and fell down with a bang.
Ye Xiao visually measured that the diameter of the trunk of the tree was enough for two or three people to hug it, but it was knocked down by the head elephant twice, and it required a lot of impact force.
After knocking down the trunk of the tree, the elephant ran towards the saber-toothed tiger at a faster speed as if nothing happened.
The saber-toothed tiger sensed the elephant's movements, and instead of looking back, it quickened its run, knowing that time was of the essence, and that if it could not hunt a baby elephant before the elephant arrived, all its efforts would be in vain.
Ye Xiao guessed that this saber-toothed tiger should have not caught prey for a long time, otherwise it would not have been so hungry to attack the mammoth, you must know that the adult mammoth is huge, and ordinary animals have to walk around when they see them.
Even the saber-toothed tiger can only hunt the baby elephant, but the baby elephant is usually protected by the adult mammoth, and it is unlikely that the saber-toothed tiger will succeed in hunting the baby elephant, unless one or two more saber-toothed tigers work together.
Probably a little hungry, although the baby elephants were protected by several adult mammoths, the saber-toothed tigers rushed towards them and their size did not weaken.
When the adult mammoth approached the periphery, the saber-toothed tiger jumped up again and pounced on the calf in the center.
And the mammoth closest to the saber-toothed tiger also raised its trunk and pumped it.
Poof!
Ye Xiao and the others heard the sound of something cutting through the flesh, and when they looked closely, it turned out that it was the sharp claws of the saber-toothed tiger that scratched three deep wounds on the mammoth's body, and the red blood donation flowed.
"Ang~"
The mammoth howled in pain, and its massive body took a few steps back, and although it was injured, it managed to block the saber-toothed tiger's attack.
The saber-toothed tiger was prevented from castrating and jumped to the other side, staring at the wounded mammoth with its teeth.
Several adult mammoths were a little afraid of the ferocious saber-toothed tiger, and they took a few steps back, squeezing the baby elephants into a scream.
However, the crisp cry of the baby elephant seems to have aroused the ferocity of the saber-toothed tiger even more.
I saw it change its angle and pounce on the injured mammoth again, and it seemed that it also knew that this wounded mammoth was the best way to break through.
The injured mammoth was obviously sluggish because of its serious injuries, and just when Ye Xiao and the others thought that this saber-toothed tiger was going to successfully break through the elephant herd and rush in, the next scene made their jaws drop in shock.
A huge elephant trunk seemed to fall from the sky, and accurately pumped on the body of the saber-toothed tiger that was flying away, this blow was accurate and effective, and directly pumped the saber-toothed tiger more than ten meters away.
It turned out that the elephant didn't know when to rush over, and used its trick to fly the elephant trunk, this time is really too coincidental, if the elephant comes back later, I'm afraid the saber-toothed tiger will succeed.
The saber-toothed tiger that was pumped fell to the ground, struggled a few times, and still stood up, but Ye Xiao had already seen that the saber-toothed tiger was seriously injured.
The huge power of the mammoth they had seen before, and this time it was really pumped on the waist of the saber-toothed tiger, this tiger is the same as the wolf, it is a copper-headed iron tofu waist, the waist can be said to be their most vulnerable place, and it is already very good to be able to stand up after such a heavy blow.
However, when the saber-toothed tiger fell to the ground just now, Ye Xiao found something unusual from it, that is, the saber-toothed tiger was a female, to be precise, a female saber-toothed tiger in the lactating period.
Because the two rows of characteristic things on its abdomen are the same as the sows that Ye Xiao has seen raising cubs before, which means that this saber-toothed tiger has just given birth to cubs not long ago.
If his guess is correct, then it is not difficult to explain why the saber-toothed tiger chose to attack the mammoth, which must have been caused by not eating for a long time, resulting in insufficient breast milk, so he did so.
Ye Xiao couldn't help but have some admiration for this female saber-toothed tiger, this is a great mother, who can do anything for the sake of her child.
Just when Ye Xiao sighed, the saber-toothed tiger roared at the elephant in a low voice, and then turned around and slowly left with some unwillingness.
The head elephant does not chase after it, and its job is to lead and protect the herd, and it will not leave the herd easily.
"Boss, what are we going to do?"
Seeing the saber-toothed tiger retreating, the big Liu was a little anxious, because he had thought about it with Ye Xiao before, and he wanted to wait for the saber-toothed tiger to break up the elephant herd, and then they would take the opportunity to hunt the baby elephant, but looking at the situation, it should be impossible.
Although the saber-toothed tiger retreated, the herd looked around more vigilantly, looking at it like that, it would not disperse for a while.
"Let's go, let's keep up with the saber-toothed tiger."
Ye Xiao said this, then got up and chased in the direction where the saber-toothed tiger retreated.
The pony and the big Liu instantly understood what he meant, and immediately chased after him.
Ye Xiao thought very clearly, since it was impossible to hunt the little mammoth, then their target was only the injured saber-toothed tiger.
Since they came out today, they have to bring something back, otherwise it will be a big loss, and I don't know when this will happen next time.
This is the legendary saber-toothed tiger, and they can only be seen in museums before, Ye Xiao was faintly excited when he thought that they might hunt a real saber-toothed tiger today.
The pony and the big Liu are too, and the faintly excited expressions on their faces also show that their hearts are not calm at the moment.
The three of them chased after the footprints left by the saber-toothed tiger, and soon disappeared into the wind and snow.
