Qi Yuancheng hurriedly hooked out the booklet with a cane. It's an old-fashioned plastic notepad that's worn out. He opened the booklet and found that there were some running accounts written crookedly in front of him, mostly what kind of prey he had caught and how much money he had sold.

Qi Yuancheng flipped through a few pages and found that it was this kind of content over and over again, but suddenly a page began to write some words, which were to record some things about the owner of the booklet and a tiger. Qi Yuancheng came to the spirit, and he couldn't care less about sitting on the kang and watching it intently.

It turned out that the owner of this booklet was a hunter. He lived alone in the mountains and made a living by hunting. In addition to eating the prey he captured, he also exchanged it for money or living supplies with others.

Orion didn't originally live in such a remote mountain, but also lived in a village outside the mountain. And the reason why they came to live in this kind of place is because of this Siberian tiger.

About seven or eight years ago, when the hunters went into the mountains to hunt as usual, they were separated from the other hunters by a storm. Alone, he wandered into a ravine he had never been to before and found a Siberian tiger.

At first, Orion was excited. Siberian tigers are the kings of this Yunchi Mountain, but their numbers are extremely rare. Many Orions never get the chance to see them once in their lifetimes. Orion was not in a hurry to find his way back to the village, and he followed the tiger's trail all the way. But the more he walked, the more frightened he became, and he found a large number of strange traces of fighting. The tiger seems to be at war with some creature that he has never seen before.

Orion's jungle experience is very rich. He followed his father into the mountains to hunt since he was a child, and he knew all the animals and plants in this Yunchi Mountain. But this time he was also puzzled. Judging from the traces of the dirt and trees left by the fight, the creature appears to have a large, thick body like a snake, but with sharp claws. Judging by the traces left behind, the tiger had the upper hand at first. A lot of bodily fluids from the unknown creature were left at the scene. The reason for saying that it is a bodily fluid is that it is not an ordinary blood stain, but a blue fluid.

But the further back you go, the tiger gradually begins to lose ground. Orion began to see more and more traces of tiger blood, and the unknown creature was still battered by the tiger. Orion began to suspect that there might be more than one of the unknown creatures.

Orion was a little worried about the tiger. Although the Siberian tiger is a beast, it is indeed an object of awe and a totem of worship for all mountain people. Orion didn't want anything to happen to this mighty one.

But on the third day of Orion's tracking of the tiger, he found the tiger lying next to his lair, already dying.

Ignoring the danger, the hunter approached to check on the tiger. He saw that the scene was also a fierce fight, with knocked down trees and upturned dirt everywhere. As in the previous scene, the bodily fluids of the unknown creature were almost everywhere, but the creature was nowhere to be found. Unfortunately, the tiger has reached its limit.

The tiger roared anxiously as he watched the hunter approach, and struggled to get up, but could not move. Orion saw that there was also a baby tiger under the cover of the tiger. He understood that the tigress must have been trying to cover the cub for distraction, and was finally seriously injured and near death by an unknown creature.

Orion couldn't bear to see the tiger cub trying to crawl out from under the tigress. He had the courage to say to the tigress: "Tiger, tiger, I think you will not be successful." I can't save you, but I won't hurt your children. I'll take it to another safe place, you see I can only help you get here. ”

Strange to say, the tiger seemed to understand Orion's words, and it stopped struggling, and slowly closed its eyes.

Orion carefully lifted the tiger cub from under the tigress. Worried that the night would be long and dreamy, he would not have time to bury the tigress's carcass before he hurried away and returned to the village the same way.

Along the way, Orion had the feeling that he was being followed by something, but when he searched vigilantly, he found nothing. He was a little panicked, and he didn't dare to go back to the village, for fear of luring the monster into the village. In addition, he didn't want to expose the tiger cub to the villagers, so he simply turned his heart sideways, turned his head to the deep mountains, and found the current hidden hill to build a wooden house to live in seclusion. Orion also lived alone in the village, and after a long time, people forgot about him as an unfortunate victim of hunting.

Orion was also happy in the mountains, and he lived with the tiger cub for his life, and seven or eight years passed in the blink of an eye. When he had nothing to do, he recorded the process of adopting a tiger in this diary.

"You're the little tiger in this diary?" Qi Yuancheng turned his head in surprise and asked the tiger. The tiger nodded slightly.

Only then did Qi Yuancheng understand that tigers had lived with humans since they were children, so they were no strangers to humans and could understand human speech. He sighed with emotion and admired the benevolence and righteousness of this hunter. He then flipped through the back of the diary, and as he looked at it, his heart sank.

Orions and tigers live carefree in the jungle. With the help of tigers, hunters never worry about hunting for food. He eats animal meat, wears animal skins, and lives with tigers.

One night, Orion was awakened by a burst of intense light. He ran outside the house and watched with the tiger watch a large herd of meteorites fall eastward with a long tail of fire.

Orion knew it was a meteorite, and although it was rare, he was not too surprised. But the tiger, who is usually not afraid of the sky and the earth, is unusual, without the momentum of the king of the mountains and forests, and is so frightened by this spectacle that he trembles all over, and has been roaring uneasily.

Shortly after the fall of the strange meteorite, Orion was about to comfort the frightened tiger, but the tiger ran into the forest without saying a word, and disappeared for several days. Orion was also used to this, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

But a few days later, the tiger returned to the hut covered in wounds. Orion hurriedly checked the wound and bandaged it. The tiger had many abrasions on its body, as if it had been pulled and dragged by something on the ground, and several fractures that appeared to have been caused by a strong impact.

Under the careful care of the hunters, the tiger gradually regained its health. But the fear in Orion's mind is growing day by day. In the midst of this vast jungle, an adult tiger is invincible. Wolves, leopards, wild boars and even black bears have no chance of winning against a tiger, and it is impossible to inflict such serious damage on it. He recalled the shocking injuries he had seen the tigress he had seen years ago, and wondered if the unknown monster had reappeared.

After the tiger recovered, it was active again, as if it had not been affected by its previous injuries at all. Orion discovered that tigers were becoming more and more powerful hunters, with claws and teeth sharper than their sharpest hunting knives, capable of tearing through any animal, even trees and stones, like tearing paper.

This has departed from Orion's previous perception of tigers, and has almost become a monster-like existence. Orion was very happy about this, after all, the mountain people of Yunchi Mountain had worshiped tigers since ancient times, not to mention who would mind having a powerful companion.
