Episode 70 The King of Beasts
Jing'er turned her head and glared at Ou Xiang fiercely, and scolded in a low voice: "You are really a crow's mouth, what do you say!" Ou Xiang cried and surrendered: "I'm wrong, okay?" In the future, I will only talk about good things and not bad things...... Why don't I let you pick up a big golden lump right away? ”
Jing'er immediately scoffed: "Say you're fat, you're still panting!" Who do you think you are? Taishang Laojun? Is...... Kindness? What is it? When she lifted her foot, she saw a shining object at her feet, and when she picked it up, she saw a twenty-four-karat gold ring.
When Jian Tianhan saw it, his eyes lit up, and he raised his deflated bullet bag in front of Ou Xiang, and said, "Xiangzi, you can say that there are bullets!" Ou Xiang's nose was crooked, and before he could speak, Jing'er pushed Xiaojian's hand away and said, "Are you stupid?" It's just a coincidence. ”
I felt myself catch my breath, so I said, "Let's hurry up, the sound I heard just now seems to be a wolf howl, in this barren mountain and wilderness, it will be troublesome to encounter wolves." When everyone heard this, they all became nervous and began to continue their journey.
Shoko walked beside me and asked, "Old flower, how can there be wolves here?" I haven't answered yet, Jing'er even said like a cannon: "Nonsense, is this the remaining vein of Taihang Mountain?" Not to mention wolves, even tigers have them, don't you see the big sign at the foot of the mountain that says Tiger Ridge? ”
I nodded and said, "Jing'er is right, but I guess it was the name of a long time ago, haven't you seen that it has been renamed Phoenix Mountain now?" Over the years, deforestation has been done, and most of the wild animals have been forced into the mountains, and fortunately, this is the case. We haven't encountered any large-scale demonic animals. I looked around and continued, "But most of the people have become zongzi these days. Most of them are concentrated in the cities, and there is almost no population in the countryside. In this case, it is not ruled out that the demonized animals may enter the city in search of food, in short, it is better for everyone to be careful. ”
As I was talking, I saw Ou Xiang "hula" and picked up the big sniper, shouting: "There are wolves!" This sentence startled all of us, and I thought to myself, why is it really a wolf? Stopped, looked along the barrel of Ou Xiang's gun, there was no wolf, and looked at Ou Xiang and didn't shoot. He asked, "What wolf?" Where is it? ”
Ou Xiang's face was pale, and he subconsciously said: "Snow wolf! It's a huge snow wolf! I saw it, but he reacted quickly, and as soon as he saw me pick up my gun, he ran away. ”
I heard the seriousness of the matter and was stunned: "Can't even keep your eyes on it? "Being targeted by the eyes of a sniper is basically the end of it, but if you can escape from under the sniper's nose, then it can only show that the snow wolf is very cunning.
I looked at the sky. "In just over an hour, the sun will set," he said. We must arrive at the Tomb of King Lu before dark. "This area of Phoenix Mountain has been developed into a forest park, and there are no man-made structures in the far distance, except for the Luwang Mausoleum, which is surrounded by high walls. I really can't think of any place where we can spend the night safely.
As soon as my words fell, Jing'er over there raised his hand and fired a shot, and I hurried in the direction of the shot. I heard Jing'er say in a trembling voice: "Wolf~ There really is a wolf...... I didn't hit...... "This girl's marksmanship is so good that she didn't even hit." It seems that the wolf is really, really fast.
"Is it a snow wolf?" Ou Xiang asked.
Wolves are the most widespread animals on the planet other than humans, and there used to be more than 30 species of wolves in the world. Their fur is mostly brown and dark gray. Only one is white, they are the larger one, nearly 2 meters long, weighing 70 kilograms, with a huge head and a thin and soft body, they are snow wolves (this name is very familiar, it seems to have been seen in the book review area~~ I don't know who it is, hehe), also known as the dream wolf, there are only seven or eight thousand in the world living on sparsely populated barren mountains.
Jing'er hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, it's an ordinary green wolf." ”
"Hit ......" The two snipers saw different wolves, I quickly looked around, and sure enough, I saw a faint trace of animals running in the woods in the distance, and I said with a snort: "We may encounter wolves." ”
Although wolves are carnivorous beasts, because wolves are generally small, three or five wolves are not a threat when encountering a small group of people with guns like ours. But if we're dealing with a horde of wolves, that's a different story. I have heard of the horror of wolves, when Jin Yong wrote about wolves in "Book of Swords and Enmity", he once said that a martial arts veteran with superb martial arts like Tianshan Shuangying was also frightened by the wolves and climbed the tree. If martial arts novels are the nonsense of literati, then Napoleon's army is a true portrayal, the heavily armed army composed of tens of thousands of people, in the decisive battle with the wolves, actually defeated with a ratio of three to one, cutting off Napoleon's last bit of hegemonic capital.
At this time, the wild wolves that haunt us from far or near, the part that can be seen is at least thirty or forty, counting the parts that cannot be hidden and the parts that we can't see, this group of wild wolves must have at least a hundred or ten numbers.
The most terrible thing is that they have a wolf king. The destructive power of a rabble cannot be compared with that of a criminal syndicate of the same size. Once the wolves have the Snow Wolf King, then the combat power of this group of wolves will immediately increase by several steps.
Another point to note is that those wolves are obviously not demonized animals, according to past experience, whether it is a demon elephant or a demonized crocodile, even the demonized crow is the same, their way to attack humans is very simple, that is, to pounce directly and bite. But these wolves around them are not, they hide their bodies strangely, and quietly approach us under the cover of trees, which basically shows that they still retain their true nature.
I looked at the sky and thought to myself that it would be raining soon, and we really didn't have time to waste. Let's not say that we don't have enough ammunition to fight the wolves, and even if we have enough ammunition, then we have to find a place to stay.
So I whispered, "Don't mess with the wolves, hurry up." Wolves are grudge bearers. Once we get into a lot of trouble, let's hurry up and chase Chen Tingyao. ”
Listen to me. Of course, we didn't want to do nothing, so we started to continue our journey up the mountain. The wolves had to rely on trees to cover their movements in a roundabout way. The speed was much slower than ours, and we were left behind in a short time.
glanced at it; The wolves that fell behind us couldn't help but exhale a cold breath secretly, and finally escaped another catastrophe today. How do you know that the thoughts have not yet been finished, and I saw the roar of the Blood Wolf King in my ears again.
This time the howl was noticeably different from the last one, short and sharp, as if urging, as if driving. The wolves also whispered, "whooping" and howling indiscriminately. Then a large number of green wolves emerged from the woods behind us, no longer dodging, and seemed to want to attack hard.
As soon as I saw the wolves put on this stance, I knew it was going to be bad. Hurry up and lead everyone to walk quickly to the mountain, fortunately we are very close to the top of the mountain, according to the scene seen on the plane, as long as we climb over this hill, we should be able to see the tomb of King Lu. The tomb of King Lu is surrounded by large walls several meters high, which is likely to be the place where Chen Tingyao chose to hide...... Even if it's not. At least that's the place where our team can live. It hasn't been long since the cloudy sky began, and the rice dumplings haven't had time to pop up so quickly, but once it's night, sleeping in the wild is a very dangerous thing.
A few of us continued to run up the hill. Seeing that he had reached the top of the mountain after turning a small corner, he looked back and saw that the tall and mighty Blood Wolf King had already come up with his large army to cover the killing. We hurried back to running. As a result, after turning a small corner, Sun Qi, who was running in front, suddenly stopped. We bumped into each other one by one, but fortunately everyone was agile. And no one fell.
I scolded: "Grass your uncle, why do you still stop ......" At this moment, I suddenly noticed that my brothers were all looking straight ahead, completely ignoring me. I looked up again, and I gasped: just over the pass of the hill, just a dozen meters away from us, a huge colorful tiger was sitting there condescendingly, looking at us people with blank eyes.
The old car was anxious when he saw it, and stammered and asked, "That...... Ahem...... What the hell is that? I whispered, "Don't make a fuss, it's a tiger, the king of beasts, don't stimulate it." The old car didn't believe it at all, and said angrily: "What tiger? How can there be such a big tiger......" I quickly reached out and covered his mouth, for fear that the big tiger on the opposite side would pounce in a rage.
"Don't move, everybody!" I gave the order in a low voice, and we were so close to the behemoth that if it did pounce, it would probably knock down several of us at once.
I saw that the old car was still struggling, so I reached out and twisted his ass fiercely, and whispered, "Why are you making such a fuss?" That's a Siberian tiger, not a South China tiger, of course it's much bigger. ”
I am very dedicated to comforting the old car~ But the problem is that I myself was also scared, first, because the tiger was too close to us, and when we actually found it, we could almost count how many beards it had, and secondly, the most important point: this tiger is too big, bigger than we imagined. The tigers we usually see in the zoo are basically South China tigers. The South China tiger is a typical small tiger, even if it is an adult tiger, the length will not exceed two meters, the whole body is added together, and the upper and lower parts are weighed together, but it is only about 110 kilograms, although it is a little stronger than an adult, but the difference is not very different. Wu Song fought the tiger in "Water Margin", and the fight was the South China Tiger...... Try to change to the Siberian Tigers, and the three Wu Song are not opponents.
But this big guy in front of us is almost four meters long! Weighing less than 500 kilograms is about the same! Such a behemoth is placed in front of us, and it is still squatting, and the shock it brings to people's hearts is simply indescribable. This guy was noticeably taller than those of us who walked upright, and for my medium stature, it would have been necessary to stretch out my arms to touch its chin. Its whole body was covered with yellow and black markings, with a majestic and domineering "king" on its head, its limbs were thick and strong, and its claws were almost larger than the mouth of the bowl. The slender tiger trailed behind him casually, quite calm and calm.
There is no doubt that this tiger must be a Siberian tiger, but even among the largest Siberian tigers, this guy is probably the king of kings. The incomparable majesty of being proud of the world and giving up on me is as quiet as a virgin and towering as Mount Tai. Let those of us who call ourselves superior animals feel ashamed of ourselves, as if we only deserve to be a delicacy in its mouth.
The Siberian tiger stared at the eyes of a mountain god. It stared at us with the eyes of a fiery god without the slightest expression, and if it weren't for its overly agile gaze, I often suspected that it was also a demonic animal. We stood motionless on the ground, as if we were courtiers waiting for the emperor to pick the wrong one.
I heard the chaotic footsteps behind me, and suddenly remembered that there was a group of hungry wolves behind me, and I couldn't help but cry out in my heart. In our current situation, there are really tigers in front and hungry wolves in the back. What is dangerous cannot be more dangerous. When I looked back with my eyes, I saw that the Snow Wolf King had already appeared more than thirty meters away from us, but obviously it didn't expect to see such a big tiger in this place, so it immediately stopped.
The wolves that followed behind the Snow Wolf King accumulated more and more, and in less than ten minutes, two hundred small green wolves of all sizes were densely crowded. These coyotes were not demonized, and they surrounded the Snow Wolf King in a very orderly manner, and none of the wolves crossed the Snow Wolf King.
I looked at the cliffs on the left and right that had been carved out of the road several meters high, and I couldn't help but feel like I was dead. It's just a wave of beasts. Fortunately, there were giant tigers in front of us and hundreds of hungry wolves in the back, which inexplicably forced the eight of us into a dead end.
Although it has fallen into a desperate situation. But you can't just catch it! I looked at the terrain on the left and right, and whispered, "Everyone slowly and slowly retreat to the edge of the cliff, with their backs to the rock wall. If they pounce, we won't be left behind. ”
So we slowly retreated towards the stone wall. At the same time, they all grabbed the weapons in their hands, always keeping an eye on the movements of the tigers and wolves. Fortunately, neither the tigers nor the wolves showed anything. Let us slowly retreat to the bottom of the cliff. I didn't dare to look up, so I rolled my eyes and looked at the cliff behind me, and saw that it was five meters high, and it was impossible to climb it with my bare hands.
Originally, if we had enough weapons in our hands, we would still have a chance to give it a go, but at first the large number of zongzi and countless demonized crows that swarmed in at first seriously consumed our bullets, and now we have almost no submachine gun bullets in our hands, relying on the May Fourth pistol to get through the current crisis, I am afraid it is really difficult, not to mention anything else, just the Siberian tiger's skull, which is known as the world's hardest skull, I don't know if the bullets of the May Fourth pistol can penetrate. I looked at our opponents, and then at the weapons in my hands, and I was not sure at all, I am afraid that sooner or later they will be completely annihilated!
"Something is wrong," Jian Tianhan whispered to me, "Lao Hua, look, why do I think they don't seem to want to bite us to death, but want to fight themselves, yes?" ”
When I looked closely, it didn't seem like the tigers and the wolves were noticing us, instead focusing on each other. I was a writer of novels, and of course it quickly became clear that they were very hostile to each other. The atmosphere of mutual hostility was reflected in the air with a thick smell of gunpowder, as if it was about to explode at any moment.
I suddenly remembered that in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", when Liu Beilai was not leaving Xuzhou, because he and Lu Bu relied on each other, Cao Cao Cao's white-faced comrades had no countermeasures, and later listened to the idea of Jia Yu, the great poisoner of Xiliang, and provoked Liu Bei's grandson and Lu Bu's white-eyed wolf to fight, which was called the plan of "driving the tiger and chasing the wolf". As a result, Lu Bu Baimenlou finally died, Liu Bei was even more embarrassed to defect to Liu Biao, and the strategic place of Xuzhou finally fell into the hands of Cao Cao.
Thinking of this, my heart lit up, and I felt that this seemed to be the only way we could hope for escape, so I raised my voice a little and said, "Don't move, everyone, the tigers and the wolves are about to fight, and when they are both defeated, let's wait for the opportunity to escape, or the fisherman will take advantage and kill the remaining one." ”
The huge Siberian tiger was sitting there motionless, facing hundreds of hungry wolves, as if looking at a plate of vegetables. But as soon as I had said that, it turned its head to look at me, and bared its teeth at me in dissatisfaction.
At that moment, I was really startled, and I thought it could understand what I said, although I immediately reacted that it was absolutely impossible, but when I saw the Siberian tiger's mouth full of fangs more than ten centimeters long, I was still scared and my legs and stomach trembled. I was sweating like a pulp, and I was almost in time to take a shower.
Sometimes, when two tigers compete for food, they may bite the prey to death first, and then divide the victory and defeat, and the one who wins the battle has the right to enjoy the food. But most of the time, the two sides will still decide the winner first, anyway, the matter of catching prey is not a difficult task for them.
Fortunately, the Siberian tiger did not take us seriously, and quickly restored its head to its original state. But in this way, the wolves on the opposite side were stimulated and excited, and dozens of green wolves began to howl lowly, uneasily picking up dirt with their front paws, as if they were about to rush up.
Since the Snow Wolf King saw the Siberian Tiger, he has been very calm, neither stage fright, nor showing off his might, it also learned the appearance of the Siberian Tiger, squatting under the hillside, and looking coldly at the Siberian Tiger in front of him.
The restless pack of wolves finally affected the mood of the Snow Wolf King...... (To be continued.) )
