Volume 1, Ghost Town of the Bone Forest_Chapter 44, Ghost Tiger
While I was talking to Lingqian, the young man standing on the left at the entrance of the cave took the lead, pulled the trigger in his hand, and the crossbow arrow jumped out at once, and the arrow accurately hit the body of the blackhorn ox and stuck it in the neck. However, the wound should not be deep, and the body of the blackhorn ox is strong, and the muscles are so strong that the arrow cannot penetrate completely.
However, it seems that he did not intend to rely on this arrow to kill the blackhorn ox. A rope was attached to the arrowhead of the crossbow arrow, and the other end of the rope was attached to the demon hunting crossbow, and the man immediately pulled the rope tight after shooting the blackhorn ox.
"Moo!"
The blackhorn cow shouted in pain, and at the same time the man standing on the right side made a quick move, the demon hunting crossbow was raised, and the man pulled the trigger, but the crossbow arrow was not shot at the blackhorn cow, and the arrow dragging the long rope passed through the top of the blackhorn cow's head and landed accurately in front of the man on the left. The moment the arrow hit the ground, the man jerked back and straightened the rope!
I look strange, what kind of tactics are these two people using, if you want to shoot the Blackhorn Ox and attack directly, what the hell is going on with the rope running through the top of the Blackhorn Ox's head!
Before I could ask, there was a sudden change in front of me, and the rope shot by the man on the right suddenly shook slightly, scattering countless silver powders, which looked quite beautiful from a distance, like falling snowflake color sheets. The blackhorn has been struggling frantically, and the man holding the rope on the left side has been dragged by the blackhorn and rolled on the ground several times. After all, this earth beast is much stronger than humans, and it can't be defeated by one person. Unexpectedly, these silver powders sprinkled in the air had a miraculous effect at this time!
I saw that the silver powder fell on the back of the blackhorn cow, and it really melted like a snowflake, and it didn't even take a few seconds to penetrate into the body of the blackhorn cow. The black-horned bull, who was still struggling desperately, suddenly froze, a pair of bull's eyes stared at the boss, but his body suddenly stiffened, and his mouth began to spit out white foam vaguely, and after a while, his body shook, and he felt like he was about to fall.
"What's going on?"
I asked curiously.
"The silver powder isn't actually powder, it's a tiny bug called a 'cloud worm.'" Lingqian pointed to the silver powder and said, I felt strange when I heard it.
"This kind of cloud worm is a kind of witchcraft used in Burma, and the local shamans cultivate the mother worm of the cloud worm from generation to generation, and the mother worm will give birth to many larvae per litter, and these larvae are refined by the wizard in a special way before they grow up, so that they can never grow but the toxins will be retained. When a cloud insect falls on the skin of a human or animal, it dies immediately, and when the body ruptures, a large amount of toxins in the body gush out and penetrate into the animal's body. Poisoning occurs when toxins accumulate to a certain level. The blackhorn cow is indeed strong, but it can't stand the poisoning. ”
Lingqian said in detail, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised in my heart, how could she understand witchcraft in Myanmar so clearly? But this is not the time to delve into.
The poisoned blackhorned cow whimpered and fell to the ground, Qin Qianqiu greeted with a smile, and the men on both sides hurriedly walked up and tied up the blackhorn cow with a rope, this huge earth beast had lost its majesty just now, and it looked like a dying patient lying on the ground.
However, both I and Lingqian knew one thing in their hearts, this blackhorned cow was just an appetizer, and the real big guy was still in the cave. Before, with the help of Qin Qianqiu's qi positioning, there were three different strange auras in this cave, and the black-horned cow was only one of them, and it was also the weakest one.
When the blackhorned ox was dragged away, there was calm in the cave for a long time. I heard two roars just now, but at this moment it was quiet and strange. I frowned, as if on the eve of an approaching storm.
"Bang, bang......"
Suddenly, there was a noise, and I pursed my lips, knowing that I was afraid that a big guy was coming out.
Generally speaking, except for the same race of earth beasts with specific attributes, few earth beasts will live together, especially herbivorous earth beasts and carnivorous earth beasts, which are like wolves and sheep living together, and will be eaten sooner or later. Since there are blackhorn cattle in the cave, there are so many corpses like dry bones around, which means that the blackhorn cow and some kind of carnivorous earth beast live in the cave. This is a very abnormal phenomenon, and I especially can't figure it out.
The sound of huge footsteps was heavy when I heard it, and the tall figure slowly walked out of the mouth of the cave, as if walking upright. It even looks a little like a human.
"It can't be the giant, right?"
I couldn't help but say, but I quickly dismissed the thought in my head, the two times I had seen the giant before, the guy was huge but walked silently.
The sound of huge footsteps kept coming, and the young man standing at the top of the cave changed his face slightly, raised his head and shouted, "Big brother, it's a powerful guy." ”
Qin Qianqiu smiled slightly, nodded and beckoned, but saw that the three young men immediately retreated behind a few big rocks with the black-horned ox, standing together vigilantly. The tied blackhorned ox roared weakly in the direction of the cave, feeling a little like asking for help from the monsters in the cave.
The clouds slowly lifted overhead, the sun shone brightly, and I squinted at last to see a huge claw sticking out of the cave! The whole claw has sharp nails, very long and sharp but white, and the claw is surrounded by a ring of yellow fluff, and some dark brown stripes can be seen!
"This ......" my eyes widened slightly, as if I was a little uncertain, but also as if I was taken aback. Lingqian next to me grabbed me and asked, "Don't you talk halfway, do you know something?" ”
"The tiger swallows the ghost, can turn into a ghost tiger, devour flesh and blood and suck the soul! This is none other than the powerful earth beast written in "Strange Tales of the Mountains", the ghost tiger! ”
I finally got the words out of my mouth, the ghost tiger is one of the earth beasts and ghosts I remember more deeply in "Mountain Strange Talk", and the reason why my memory is deeper is very simple, because the description of the ghost tiger in "Mountain Strange Talk" is very terrifying. The chapter that writes the content of the ghost and tiger is on the page behind the ghost, according to what is written in the book, the tiger is powerful and domineering, but it is also divided into good and bad, good tiger protects the mountain and protects the forest, but the town is a ghost and a demon. The evil tiger is very harmful, eating people and destroying villages. If the evil tiger eats too many people, resentment will naturally accumulate in the body, but the tiger is the king of beasts, and the resentment can't help it. But if a ghost appears after the evil tiger eats people, and the ghost is devoured by the evil tiger again, the resentment is catalyzed by the ghost, and the evil tiger will become a ghost tiger.
It is rumored that the ghost tiger can swim between yin and yang, not only eating people but also devouring ghosts, and is a ruthless character who is feared both on the ground and underground.
To use a sentence in "Strange Tales of the Mountains" to describe it: The evil ghost in the tiger retreats quickly when he sees it.
Unexpectedly, the mysterious giant has not yet appeared, but there is a character that I am so afraid of!
The sun was shining, and the outstretched claws retracted into the darkness little by little, and I didn't see the guy who seemed to be a ghost tiger coming out of it for a long time. It may be because the resentment in the body is too strong, so I am afraid of being exposed to the sun. Qin Qianqiu seems to be very determined, I admire him a lot at this point, he looks like an old god.
However, the calm inside and outside the cave did not last long, and a large cloud drifted in the sky not far away, the speed was slow, and the sunlight gradually obscured. The ghost tiger in the cave finally came out.
This is really a behemoth, with a slightly arched back, obvious striped patterns on its body, its tail is erect very high, and the black "king" markings on its forehead, which represent the identity of the king of beasts, are clearly visible. A pair of eyes emit a rich green glow. He bared his sharp fangs at Qin Qianqiu, and a low roar representing a warning came from his throat.
"Such a big tiger!"
I couldn't help but exclaim, I had seen tigers in the zoo, but the feeling was completely different from actually seeing a tiger in the wild and a ghost tiger. Definitely more than three meters long, those claws sharper than razors, teeth stronger than rocks, and the intimidating power exuded from my whole body all tell me one thing: it's not just a dirt beast, it's a real monster!
"Do you see those eyes? The green one is one of the signs of the Ghost Tiger, and it has black markings on the white hair of its belly. Damn it, such a big ghost tiger! Maybe it ate the nearby villagers! ”
I spoke nervously.
