The jackals are indeed afraid of tigers and humans, and they are hiding from both of them.

It used to be like this.

Fear of tigers is certain, and when you smell a tiger from a long distance, you will nervously avoid it.

Jackals are generally more numerous than wolves, and smaller jackals are more likely to starve than larger packs.

Hundreds of jackals can sacrifice the future of an entire population and exhaust a tiger.

But apart from human fantasies, or the battle related to the defense of the lair, it is impossible for the jackals to use the future of the race to stage any tragic human epic.

Unless, these jackals, who think that the tiger as the king of beasts is easier to deal with than the rest of the beasts, let the herbivores not catch them, and they have to be the heroes of the tiger fight.

Those who are full of food and support go to the tiger for trouble.

The fear of tigers in jackals is engraved in genes and survival instincts.

Zhang Xiangyang somewhat understood what An Ran said just now, it is a survival instinct for small animals to be afraid of large animals, and the status of human beings in the food chain has always been very special.

As the top hunter, he didn't imprint his horror on the instincts of the rest of the animals.

The past of these jackals is unknown, and neither Zhang Xiangyang nor An Ran are experts in biology, so they cannot determine the past of these jackals from a combination of factors such as body size and habits, as well as the environment.

Were their ancestors jackals from local zoos or jackals migrating from other places?

Analyzing and using the habits of these animals as weapons to evade and attack is the specialty of zoologists.

Zhang Xiangyang is positioned as a nurse, with plenty of patience and kindness, accustomed to a stable obedient character, and because he is the person with the lowest level of knowledge in the team, he can be responsible for some sundries and small things that others have no time to do.

Enron's positioning is that of a forest ranger, which is a comprehensive positioning, and the main area of responsibility is a part-time combat scout.

The reality is very different from the plan, and now Zhang Xiangyang is being transformed by the environment to become a warrior.

In front of the danger he faced, and the group of jackals that began to walk around him constantly, as if he were deliberately harassing him, Zhang Xiangyang had a calmness more suitable for battle than An Ran, and the anger of a predator.

An Ran saw the situation clearly, and quickly said: "They want to exhaust our physical strength, if we go back now, they won't chase too close, they will always follow us!" Be careful and back off slowly! I look behind! ”

Zhang Xiangyang said calmly: "There is not much hope of doing this, I asked Zhang Bin, I have a distance of 2,300 meters from the bamboo forest to Changzhu Mountain, if we encounter danger, this distance does not allow us to run back directly." ”

Zhang Bin has calculated the distance between the two places of the river and the bamboo forest and Changzhu Mountain, and through the data provided by Zhang Xiangyang and the data he visually observed at the top of the mountain, he can give an accurate value.

After having the values, Zhang Xiangyang calculated the emergency measures for some emergencies, including encountering wild wolves and ape monsters, as well as escape strategies for basilisks!

An Ran quickly asked, "Do you have a way?" ”

"Nope."

I thought about it, but I couldn't think of a way, the gap between the two sides was too big......

An Ran's face was heavy, and he felt that when he confronted these jackals, because of nervousness and anxiety, his physical strength was consumed very quickly.

"Go back! If these packs are not much different from their predecessors, they usually last more than an hour at a time, and will consume most of the prey's stamina before attacking. ”

When Zhang Xiangyang heard it, he said, "If you kill one, will the rest be afraid?" ”

An Ran said: "I don't know, the jackals are more tightly organized than the wolves, and a hunt will not put all the members at once, they will go into battle in batches, and they will rest when they are tired." ”

It's a hassle......

Zhang Xiangyang felt very troublesome, and the jackals nearby were no longer satisfied with walking around!

Under Zhang Xiangyang's gaze, a jackal took the initiative to approach, lowering his head as if to sniff his shoes.

Its body is a little low, and its movements are cautious, like a wild cat that is constantly tempted on the edge of danger.

Zhang Xiangyang's arm couldn't reach such a low thing, and after discovering the jackal's temptation, he decisively kicked the jackal.

The jackal's reaction speed was far better than Zhang Xiangyang's, and after seeing the soles of his feet that smelled of flesh and blood approaching him, he opened his mouth suddenly, and his jagged teeth bit down on his shoes.

Its mouth was firmly pinned to the front of the shoe, and as it closed tightly, it kept signaling its attack from its throat.

"Whew!"

The severe pain made Zhang Xiangyang's arm feel cramp-like distraction, this feeling was only for a moment, and the body's reaction suddenly stagnated, and then it was because of the heat brought by a cold sweat!

Holding back the pain from the soles of his feet, Zhang Xiangyang gritted his teeth and tried to maintain his balance.

But at the moment of the kick, balancing is no longer an easy task.

The jackal dog that bit the soles of Zhang Xiangyang's feet kept exerting force on its hind limbs, constantly shaking its head and biting the prey in its mouth, and trying to bring this huge prey back continuously.

The rest of the jackals also swarmed up at this time, and the picture that Zhang Xiangyang was worried about really appeared at this time!

An Ran no longer had any extra composure, and when he saw Zhang Xiangyang being dragged by wild jackals, because of a moment of distraction, the jackals on the side saw the opportunity, and the light body jumped to An Ran's arm.

Not only the soles of the feet, but also the legs and arms are bitten by wild jackals that rush up, and the body parts constantly send signals of pain and danger to the brain!

Both feet were bitten by two wild jackals up to the knees, and the strength of this beast made Zhang Xiangyang, who had a jackal hanging on his body, unable to maintain his balance, and his body fell to the grass at once.

Enron is the same, but at the critical moment, the will to survive makes neither of them willingly be eaten by these beasts!

The spear has become a burden here, and An Ran's hands protected his neck at the first time, and at the same time he got up quickly, if he didn't get up, he really couldn't stand up!

Zhang Xiangyang originally wanted to rely on the bamboo gun to maintain balance, and people basically did not drop their weapons when they panicked, but after the body warmed up, the strong desire to survive, as well as anger, made Zhang Xiangyang to an unprecedented state of calm.

All around is the smell of fur, the smell of stinking and baking, like the smell of a long-haired dog, or maybe this is the smell of a fur-bearing animal in itself.

Compared with the footsteps, the pain in the arms and neck is stronger, but the response of the brain, as well as Zhang Xiangyang's own feelings, do not feel so painful.

It's like a wounded beast, when hunting, the perception of pain becomes very weak, and it will only suffer that pain when it is safe to do so.

Quickly throwing away the stone axe and bamboo gun, when Zhang Xiangyang's body was dragged to the ground, the five fingers of one hand quickly reached into his pocket and touched the bamboo dagger that Zhang Han made for himself and An Ran.

Choose a thicker bamboo, smash the bamboo with a stone, choose a half-thick piece of bamboo, then use fire to burn the top of the ash, polish it on the ground and stones, and finally stuff it into a bamboo tube filled with mud to fix it.

This is a dagger that can only be used to stab, Zhang Han is just playing, and he has never thought of fighting with animals in close combat.

However, at this time, Zhang Xiangyang, who was holding the bamboo dagger, was full of anger, and in the roar, he stuck the dagger into the eyes of a wild jackal!

"Woo! Whew! ”

A sharp and rapid wail sounded in my ears, and the wild jackals around me became even more frantic because of the piercing cry.

Instead of retreating, they launched an even more ferocious attack on the fallen prey.

The wild jackals, who are good at attacking weaknesses, not only bite their arms and legs, but also constantly want to bite Zhang Xiangyang's throat.

Zhang Xiangyang's vision was blocked by two wild jackals, and after his body fell, he was passive in all aspects, but he instinctively quickly put his chin on his chest, and his throat was protected with the action of lowering his head.

The scalp was numb and painful, and at the same time that the arm holding the knife was bitten by the wild dog, and at the same time that it could not exert its strength due to the heavy weight, its head was also brought down by the jagged teeth of the wild jackal.

"Ahhh

Zhang Xiangyang struggled to stand up, only by standing up can he exert his strength!

"Woo...... Whew......h

The mournful sound of the wild jackal sounded in his ears, and the vision in front of Zhang Xiangyang, which was blocked by brown and yellow fur, quickly recovered into the dense green bamboo that blocked the sky.

"Stand up! Pick up the axe! ”

An Ran, whose arms were covered with blood, stood in front of Zhang Xiangyang, and at her feet, two wild jackals with smashed heads had fallen.

Zhang Xiangyang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw An Ran, and while rejoicing, the movements in his hands were not dulled because of excitement.

Holding the fallen stone axe tightly in his hand, Zhang Xiangyang looked at the wild jackals who had put him to death, and told himself that he must not be beaten passively like just now.

No matter when and where, you must learn to fight back, it is not just enough to be calm, it is a shame to be beaten calmly!

"One by one, holding it back, like a tiger hunting." An Ran bent down and picked up a wild jackal, and the thirty or forty pounds of prey was dragged out by her with one hand.

Zhang Xiangyang held the axe in one hand, and at the same time lowered his head to hold the wild jackal's leg as An Ran commanded.

When Zhang Xiangyang's fingers were about to approach the wild jackal that was stoned to death by An Ran, a wild jackal pounced on Zhang Xiangyang, who was bent over.

"Die!" Zhang Xiangyang had always been on guard, and when he saw these beasts trying to throw himself to the ground and bite again, the pain in his body and the humiliation of almost being bitten to death made him launch an angry blow.

The stone axe slammed into the nose of the wild jackal, which, like the wild dog, had a very fragile nose, and after withstanding the cruel moment, it immediately fell to the ground in pain and wailed and rolled.

Zhang Xiangyang quickly went up and straddled the body of the wild jackal that was constantly struggling, and then his face was covered with blood, he raised the axe in his hand, and violently smashed the stone axe on the wild jackal's head where the wailing gradually stopped, and only the body occasionally trembled.

"That's enough." An Ran put his hand on Zhang Xiangyang's shoulder, and whispered to Zhang Xiangyang, who kept smashing the dead body: "Stand up, let's get out of here." ”

The voice of his companion made Zhang Xiangyang come back to his senses, and at this time, instead of venting his anger that he was almost killed, he was trying to survive!

The two of them each dragged the carcass of a wild jackal to the outside of the bamboo forest, this time no wild jackal came to attack them, but the group of jackals followed closely behind the two, and at the same time let out the low, mournful sound of loss from their mouths.

"Those jackals are still following us, what should we do?" When Zhang Xiangyang looked back, he saw a group of jackals hanging more than ten meters away from him, although they were some small jackals, but he was very resistant to this kind of small thing now.

When I thought of these things rushing in just now, rushing at myself without dying, and attacking without fear of death, I had a feeling of numbness in my scalp.

Even though my head is very uncomfortable now, it hurts and itches when the wind blows.

"It's okay, the division of labor of the jackal group is meticulous, there is the boss who is responsible for hunting, there is the leader who is responsible for leading the entire group, there is a deputy who is responsible for looking at the wind, and a nanny who takes care of the young jackals, one of the two I killed is the boss, the one you killed just now should be the young jackal who usually teaches and takes care of the little jackals, those young jackals are reluctant, and it should be no problem when they get out of the bamboo forest."

An Ran expressed her opinion, this time she was also embarrassed, not only a few more wounds on her body, but more importantly, her legs were injured to the bone, and now it is a question whether she can walk back to Changzhu Mountain.

Zhang Xiangyang was vigilant about the surrounding situation, and when he left the bamboo forest and looked back, he found that the jackals had stopped on the uphill slope of the bamboo forest, and at this time they were squatting there and staring at this side, some were lying low on the ground, their heads were lost on the grass, and some were constantly screaming, trying to call back the young jackal.

A group of more than twenty jackals, after losing three male jackals and a wounded man with a wounded stomach, could no longer continue to attack.

Again, this time it was not only the jackals that suffered heavy losses, but the human side also paid a heavy price.

When An Ran was close to Changzhu Mountain, he could no longer walk because of severe pain, but fortunately, he could already be seen by Zhang Bin here.

After Wu Sang, Zhang Han, and Zhang Bin came down together, the two returned to Changzhu Mountain safely.
