In the hot summer dusk, the sun is sinking in the west, the breeze is slow, and the leaves are rustling, which is cool and refreshing.

Under the shade of the tree, a white-fronted mountain tiger nearly a zhang long lay prone on the ground, from time to time roaring angrily at an old willow tree not far away that can only be hugged by three or four people, and it had more than a dozen short arrows stuck in its back and neck, all of which were eaten into several inches of flesh, and its whole body was covered with bloodstains and arrow wounds, obviously wounded by hunters.

The hunter was none other than Lynch, who was now hiding high in the old willow tree, looking down at the tiger guarding under the tree.

On his shoulder stood a small spotted tiger cub no bigger than a palm, with its whiskers and fangs exposed, calling "meow" downwards, as if it was shouting and provoking the big guy.

Lynch was not chased by the mountain tiger and fled to the tree, but deliberately lured it here, and then used the vantage point to provoke it with a bow and arrow, and was unwilling to leave.

With his weak arms, he shot more than 20 arrows in a row with feathered arrows without iron arrows, and although he shot it into a hedgehog, not a single arrow caused fatal damage, all of which were inconsequential flesh wounds.

Moreover, the agility of the mountain tiger is far from being comparable to that of the black bear, and the intelligence is also relatively high, no matter what strange shooting method he uses, he can't hit its eyes, and he can narrowly avoid it every time.

After all, as the king of the mountains and forests, the tiger is born a symbol of courage and strength, and the instinct to protect the eyes is extremely strong.

"Xiao Qi, you stay in the tree first, I won't call you, don't come down!"

Lynch said, grabbing the tiger cub by the neck, placing it on a branch beside him, and slowly standing up.

"Meow!"

The little tiger cub looked at Lynch as if he didn't understand, stretched out his sharp claws to grab and dig on the bark, and continued to shout at the mountain tiger below, eager to jump!

Lynch's expression was stern and cold, his eyes were sharp as a sharp edge, and the murderous intent was on display. He secretly said in his heart that when the time was ripe, it was time to officially deal with this mountain tiger.

He wrapped a circle around the dragon tooth sword with a long rope that hung straight under the tree, held both ends with both hands, held the sword flat, and held the rope between the two ** forks, took a deep breath, jumped down, and slid to the ground with a "snort".

When his feet touched the ground, the mountain tiger, who had already been alarmed, also stood up, shook his huge head, exhaled a deep angry sound from his mouth, and the two copper bell-sized eyes were fierce and glaring at him.

It waited patiently for a long time, and finally waited until this moment, when it was still a little sluggish, and when it landed, it became majestic and fierce.

Lynch leaned his back against the trunk of the tree, held a sword in both hands, stared at the mountain tiger, and did not dare to breathe, waiting for the battle.

"Roar!"

The mountain tiger opened its bloody mouth, let out a deafening roar, and took a step, carrying a vicious wind, and pounced fiercely.

Seeing this, how could Lynch not be afraid, a heart went straight to his throat, but he neither ran away nor hid, his feet were firmly nailed to the ground, he was hunched over, and waited motionlessly.

The strong fishy smell came with the wind, and the mountain tiger ran close in the blink of an eye, jumped up, reached forward with its claws, opened its huge mouth, and launched a killing tiger pounce.

Lynch didn't move, but when he moved, he was as fast as thunder, and instead of hitting it hard, he leaned back and retreated half a step back, the tip of the sword pierced the chest of the mountain tiger, and the hilt of the sword was against the trunk of the tree.

"Poof!"

Suddenly, the mountain tiger had no room to maneuver, and it really hit the sword, the blade of the sword pierced into the chest, and then pierced out of the hole in the back, and then hit the trunk of the tree with a bang.

In an unmistakable moment, Lynch crouched down and curled up at the foot of the tree, not being hit by the mountain tiger.

The mountain tiger was pierced through the heart by a sword, and the hot blood splattered out like a spring, and let out a terrible long roar, and struggled two or three times, and was killed on the spot, falling down diagonally against the trunk of the tree.

The turquoise leaves were shaken and fell off, and they swirled and sprinkled, causing a "rain of leaves".

Lynch straightened up, half of his body was pressed by the mountain tiger, his face and body were stained with warm tiger blood, although he had successfully hunted this tiger, he had a palpitating look.

He gasped, his throat rolled, he couldn't stop swallowing air, his face red with blood, his two clear eyes blinking, as if he couldn't believe it.

Suddenly, there was a familiar light touch on his shoulder, and when he turned his head, it was a little tiger cub.

The little tiger cub jumped onto the mountain tiger's forehead, looked down at its upturned eyes, and then looked up at Lynch, "meow meow" call, and did not know what it wanted to say. Looking at its arrogant and excited expression, it shouldn't be sympathetic to this big guy who looks a little like it.

"I can finally eat a tiger meat feast!"

Lynch smiled at the little one.

He has been eyeing this mountain tiger for three months, and today he finally succeeded in capturing and killing, which can definitely be regarded as a new starting point for his mountain life. For it was the most ferocious beast he had ever hunted.

"Meow ......"

The little tiger cub jumped back on his shoulder and licked him around the neck.

It was only at this time that Lynch found that he had not only tiger blood but also human blood on his body, and his side face, chin, entire neck, and even his right chest were scratched by the mountain tiger There were several long bloody wounds, which were deep in the bones, and the blood was pouring down.

"Phew!"

He gasped, and when he sensed the pain, it hurt terribly.

Since he came to Lushan, injuries have long been commonplace, and it is the first time that such a serious injury has occurred.

After Lynch took some of the tiger meat and bones, he left in a hurry, and most of the rest of the flesh and blood became a meal for the wolves.

......

At night, the moon is clear and the wind is clear, and the light and smoke are swirling.

On the cliff shaded by green trees, there is a narrow and long snow-white waterfall, which falls more than ten meters high, splashing in all directions, and there is an endless sound of rushing water.

In the pool under the waterfall, Lynch soaked naked in the water, washed off the dirty blood all over his body, and leaned against the smooth stone wall by the pool, only to feel relaxed and refreshed.

After half a year of growth, he grew a little taller and stronger, but the faint black spot was still attached to his heart, not only became larger, but also seemed to be a little deeper, which indicated that the symptoms of black heart disease were getting more and more serious.

The blood wound caught by the mountain tiger was sewn up with needle and thread by himself, because he smeared the best wound medicine, and it almost healed and no longer oozes blood. New injuries and old injuries, his body was covered with large and small scars, and there was hardly a single intact place.

"Whoa!"

The little tiger cub broke out of the water, holding a small silver fish more than four inches long in its mouth, and it still flapped its wings wildly, struggling violently.

"Yes, I caught a silverfin fish. Lynch was taken aback and exclaimed.

Silverfin fish, as the name suggests, has a pair of silver wings, not only swims extremely fast, but also has incredible flexibility, flying in the water like an eagle flying in the air.

Silverfin is a very difficult and rare fish species with high nutritional value, and the value of an adult silverfin is comparable to that of two pairs of bear's paws.

The little tiger cub went ashore, its body slowly shrunk, and as soon as it put the prey that it had caught with great difficulty on the ground, the little fish jumped up violently, swept back to the waterhole, and jumped and flew on the water surface with its wings and tail, and fled straight to the direction of the waterfall.

"Meow!"

The little tiger cub grew larger, and then threw himself back into the water, and his four legs moved rapidly like a windmill, and he did not fall into the water, but flew on the surface of the water like the silverfin fish, rushed up, and bit the fish in the air, and then a fierce man plunged into the water.

This is the power of Zhenlong Tiger, once the body stretches and expands, it will instantly fill with a large amount of air, becoming very light, coupled with super speed, it is enough to run three or four feet away on the water.

The cub swam to shore again, did not make the mistake of the last time, and only let go after biting the fish to death.

More than a month has passed since the tigress handed over her cub to Lynch, and the tigress used to wander around at first, but then disappeared completely.

Perhaps, in the eyes of the tigress, since she cannot protect the child, it is a better choice to leave it in the hands of humans who can protect it.

Lynch was overjoyed, and of course he was happy to adopt this amazing little tiger. He named it Xiaoqi, because it originally had seven brothers and sisters, and "seven" and "Qi" are homophones, so it is appropriate to call it "Xiaoqi".

In fact, he and Xiao Qi's fates are similar in many ways, both come from a broken family, and both have lost all their brothers and sisters.

However, the difference is that the reason why Lynch is still alive is largely due to luck; Xiao Qi was able to survive, not only because Lynch came to the rescue, but also because it was the strongest of the seven small shrinking cats, and the other six were all starved to death, but it survived to the end and seized a glimmer of life.
