Chapter Twenty-Three: The Battle of the Tigers

......

Hunting a tiger monster beast that is also a bronze level is not as easy as imagined. For example, going up a mountain, encountering a one-horned tiger, killing a tiger after a fierce battle, etc. How can it be so easy?

The tiger is a fierce beast with a high IQ and strong combat effectiveness, especially good at ambushes. It has a particularly keen sense of smell, and can smell prey from a great distance, and distinguish the shape, strength, and number of prey. It can even tell if its prey is injured or not.

If you want a bronze-level unicorn, it will only be more powerful and cunning. Otherwise, it would not have been its turn to harm the township for many years, and it would have been hunted and killed long ago. As for some bait, traps, traps and the like, this one-horned tiger is probably more than the average hunter. This is already a keen anomaly, and it will be avoided from a distance.

And Zuo Qianqian also led her black-backed hound to search for three days before finding some traces of the one-horned tiger. Her black-backed hound was lucky, and she didn't bother with it last time she ran away. After waiting for more than half a month, Zuo Qianqian sneaked home and found this loyal hound. The hunting dog she trained herself has a very good spiritual surname, which is not only affectionate, but also a good helper for her hunting. When the owner is not around, it will also go to the neighborhood to hunt some snow rabbits and other fruits, but it will not starve to death.

With the help of this hound named Dahei, it is extremely helpful in searching for the unicorn tiger, not that it can help kill the unicorn tiger or anything like that. It's just that it has a very keen sense of smell and is very good at tracking its prey. Zuo Qianqian let it sniff on the fresh tiger claw footprints.

Da Hei barked lightly twice, and trotted all the way down his head to follow it. Of course, the one-horned tiger is also an old demon tiger that has been hunted for a long time. Although Da Hei's surname is good, as for whether he can really track it down, it's still two words.

As a result, Lei Qing cut a cut on his hand with the Qingfeng Sword and drenched some blood. And stirred up the fighting spirit in his body a little chaotic, making himself look very weak and embarrassed. For some injured prey, predators such as tigers can be very sensitive. They usually pick their prey and they do it when they are also targeting injured or young prey.

As we followed through the snow, the sparse forest began to grow denser and higher. But alas, the footprints were abruptly interrupted, and even the smell dissipated.

This is the power of monster beasts with high intelligence and fighting spirit, they are good at hunting at the same time, but also in the process of competing with hunters, they gradually learn how to counter-track and protect themselves. Some powerful and intelligent monsters, they will consciously control their pores to make the smell converge.

But this also shows that the one-horned tiger has found Lei Qing and the others. The position between the prey and the hunter can be changed at any time. And Lei Qing and the two, on the surface, don't seem to be strong. If the one-horned tiger is threatened, or if it feels very hungry, it is very likely to hunt Lei Qing and the others in turn. Just like the snow wolves on the plateau that Lei Qing encountered, it was not Lei Qing who took the initiative to provoke them. It's that they're hungry and want to eat Lei Qing.

Twelve thousand-machine crossbows, all of which have been wound. Lei Qing and Zuo Qianqian each took a handful, and the rest were separated in the space ring of the two. The material of the thousand-machine crossbow is very heavy, and it costs about 30 catties for one hand. It is also impossible for the two of them to put the extra thousand-machine crossbow on their backs and run around the mountains.

Although they were already mentally prepared for not being able to find the unicorn tiger, Lei Qing and Zuo Qianqian, who had been on Lianyun Mountain for a few days, also felt very tired. That one-horned tiger is really cunning. Rao is an old hunter like Zuo Qianqian, who is very good at tracking, and after being discovered by the one-horned tiger, he can no longer find his trace.

"Whew. Lei Qing let out a long breath, and said helplessly with a white cold air in his mouth: "In order to find this one-horned tiger, we have been delayed for seven or eight days, and we can't go on any longer." While it's still dark, let's go down this end and prepare to cross the Tianji Mountains. ”

The Tianji Mountain Range, calculated horizontally, is narrower and less than a hundred miles wide. But the distance is not calculated like this, various mountain peaks, moats, mountain lakes, dense forests, etc., will infinitely magnify this distance. Many times, after encountering a path that cannot be crossed, you will have to go back.

Therefore, if you want to cross the Tenji Mountain Range, there is no clear path. If you're lucky, you'll be fine. If you're unlucky, you can't get out for a month. And in the Tianji Mountain Range, there are many dangers, and every time you stay, there will be more dangers.

With the possibility of chasing soldiers behind him at any time, Lei Qing was unwilling to play hide and seek with the cunning one-horned tiger anymore. After discussing with Zuo Qianqian, he walked diagonally to the depths of the Tianji Mountain Range.

Unexpectedly, just when Lei Qing was ready to give up and walked for half a day, when his psychological state had relaxed, something strange suddenly happened. First, the black fur on the back of the black-backed retriever, which has a good surname, exploded, and barked in horror and fear.

"Brother Lei, be careful. Zuo Qianqian also almost subconsciously changed color and shouted.

Suddenly, a fishy wind blew behind him, and the one-horned tiger under the explosion exploded in his pores, and a bad smell came out of the pores that had been blocked for several days.

Lei Qing has not been ambushed once or twice, and he also knows deeply that whenever he is ambushed, he must have come when you are most relaxed. The response to the crisis is also extremely fast. The Thunder Fighting Qi hidden in the lower abdomen seemed to be ignited by a blazing fire, crackling and exploding, running to every part of Lei Qing's body at extreme speed, providing a steady stream of explosive power for his strong body.

The body swept forward like thunder, and the speed was outrageous, bringing out a series of ghost-like afterimages.

But at this life-and-death juncture, after all, it was still a little slower. Tiger claws, several inches long, rubbed against his back. Three sharp claws forcibly tore the wolf skin jacket and lining leather armor on his back, and cut three hideous openings into the flesh.

Fortunately, Lei Qing, who was in this matter, had already swept two or three feet away, and his strong and pure fighting spirit temporarily stopped the bleeding from the wound. Although the pain was unbearable, there was no expression on his face, and in mid-air, he had already turned around to deal with the ambushed unicorn head-on.

Rao was at such a critical juncture, when he first saw the famous one-horned tiger that had been looking for seven or eight days. Lei Qing's eyes lit up, and he secretly praised this one-horned tiger as being extremely powerful.

Even from head to tail, full and half, stout, and majestic, I am afraid that I can't beat a thousand catties. The fur around the body is smooth as a mirror. In black and white, the fur takes on a pale cyan hue. The most conspicuous thing is the single horn on its forehead, which has not yet fully grown and is only a few inches.

The whole look is majestic and domineering.

But it is such a giant tiger, but it is agile and especially good at sneak attacks. The blow missed, and it looked like an angry roar in the sky, and the tiger roared and shook the sky, shaking people's earholes, faintly deaf, and almost losing their minds. This tiger roar is faintly similar to Lei Qing's spring thunder. They all use the sound of violent explosions, disturbing people's ears and grabbing people's hearts.

Zuo Qianqian was so shocked that she fell directly to the snow, while the black-backed hound was pressed to the ground by the majesty of the one-horned tiger, trembling.

But Lei Qing was not easy to follow, but after a slight shock to his body, he fell to the ground, and shot an arrow at the one-horned tiger with a thousand crossbows. The bolts are extremely fast, like shooting stars. With a pop, it was nailed into the shoulder blade of the one-horned tiger.

It's too late to reload the bolts, or take out the rest of the Thousand Machines from the Space Ring. Lei Qing immediately wiped his hands on his back, took the handed handed zither-shaped shield with an iron coat in his left hand, and held the Qingfeng Sword in his right hand.

Separated by a few feet, it is far away from the one-horned tiger. Shot by Lei Qing's crossbow, the one-horned tiger who was in pain roared angrily, his body was short, and the electric light flashed above the single horn on his forehead, and a zigzag thunderbolt shot towards Lei Qing.
