Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Tiger Hunter (1)
Late at night.
Xinyi's team also came to the place where Xin You.
Yin Ke was a very attentive man, and he sent several scouts to the left and right to investigate.
Discovered something that Xin didn't notice.
"You mean, there are tigers in this area?" Xin asked again, "And it's a white tiger?" ”
"Yes, I found the tiger's droppings in the east, and his shedding fur." Yin Ke pulled out a few white hairs.
Xin didn't doubt it.
There is a specialization in the art industry, and Yin Ke is extremely good at this.
"I want to hunt this white tiger, if I can dedicate the white tiger to the head of the Zhao family, maybe he can open the net and release the Pu people." Xin said again.
Everyone nodded, but did not object.
The white tiger is an auspicious thing, and it is very rare.
If you can catch it, you will definitely win the game.
"The tiger has a wide range of activities, and if we want to hunt it, we have to act quickly, determine its location, and then keep driving it out until it is exhausted." Yin Ke said: "We don't have to rest tonight. ”
"Yin Ke, according to your estimate, how many people do we need to hunt tigers?" Xin asked again.
"Generally speaking, seven or eight people are enough." Yin Kedao.
For these people who hunt in the mountains and forests all year round, tiger hunting is no longer a difficult task.
"The purpose of Tian Hunt is to see how well our Xinyi people have overall military training, and we can't put all our targets on this strange beast." Xin said again: "You give me a few hunters with experience in hunting tigers, and I will hunt this white tiger." The rest of the people are under your command to find the herd of wild deer that they found earlier. ”
"Good!"
Yin Ke simply agreed.
After a night's rest, the next day, the hunt officially began.
The crowd directly divided into two ways, and Xin and those hunters, with two hunting dogs, followed the tiger's dung all the way to find it.
"Gentleman, I heard that you are proficient in the six arts, you must be very good at archery!"
Chinese Fan Dayu asked curiously.
Xin smiled again: "I don't dare to say that it is powerful, but I will definitely not hold you back." ”
In fact, after crossing over, Xin often practiced archery.
The previous Xin You was indeed an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and an outstanding nobleman cultivated under the education of the Zhou aristocracy.
The only flaw is in terms of personality.
Cowardice to the point that people ignore his abilities.
Although Xin You's archery skills dare not be said to the point of "piercing Yang in a hundred steps", it is indeed similar to these skilled hunters.
After all, this is the head of the six arts of a gentleman, and Xin has never been slacking off in the past.
The traverser Xin had a bow and arrow in his hand, in fact, he was already eager to try.
Shooting targets from home every day, he was already a little tired of this kind of life.
"There's movement ahead."
Fan Dayu said: "Gentleman, let's get off the horse first." ”
Xin and Kong Yu dismounted and followed behind Fan Dayu.
Fan Dayu half-squatted down, picked up a piece of soil on the ground, and rubbed it in his hand.
"It seems to be wolf blood." Fan Dayu said: "We are quite lucky, this wolf is injured. ”
Under the guidance of Fan Dayu, everyone slowly sneaked through the mountains and forests.
Occasionally, some wild animals were encountered, and everyone ignored them.
Concentrate on the tiger hunt.
After a while, I saw an old wounded wolf, resting under a rock.
Fan Dayu quietly set up his bow, and the other two hunters outflanked him from the side to prevent the old wolf from escaping.
At this moment, Fan Dayu only heard a "whoosh" in his ears.
An arrow feather flew out and shot directly into the old wolf's chest.
Fan Dayu didn't dare to think about it, so he also followed with an arrow and shot the old wolf in the neck.
After the old wolf was shot, he got up angrily.
But it was badly wounded, and was hit by another arrow in the chest and neck, and stumbled when it got up.
The two hunters who surrounded him rushed up, and the spears in their hands stabbed at the wolf mercilessly.
The fierce old wolf didn't have time to resist much before he fell.
"A gentleman is a good archer!"
Fan Dayu was sincerely admired.
The strength of Fang Cai's arrow is especially above him!
Xin was also quite proud, this was his first time participating in a hunt, and it was good to be able to shoot the old wolf.
And he also secretly sighed that human beings are still powerful.
The old wolf is extremely large, and it may also be at the overlord level in this area.
But when I encountered the terrifying Homo erectus, I had no chance to resist at all.
Presumably, the tiger in the mountain could not escape such a fate.
Fan Dayu quickly threw the old wolf away and took off the wolf skin completely.
Then bury most of the wolf meat in the soil, mark it, and take it when you return tomorrow.
There is no way, there are too few of them, so they can't carry the carcass of the old wolf and continue to hunt.
Yin Ke removes a wolf's leg and uses it as bait to hunt tigers.
Hunting tigers is the most difficult hunting activity.
Generally speaking, it is either a method of tracking and expelling, during the day, while the tiger is sleeping, using a bow and arrow to sneak up on the tiger, and then drive it away until it is physically exhausted before hunting.
Or use living creatures and set traps to use as bait.
The most frightening thing for hunters is the head-on encounter with the tiger.
This means that there must be real battles, and there will definitely be damage.
The more you go, the less Fan Dayu will say.
He kept looking at the grass and dirt on the ground, mixed with some feces and hair, and judged the tiger's whereabouts by these.
"It's almost ......"
Fan Dayu said in a low voice: "There are no other living creatures here, we should go to the white tiger's lair, let's find out its location first, and then lay a trap and wait for it to take the bait." ”
Tigers are nocturnal animals.
So people have to find its nest during the day, and while it is resting, they will lay traps in areas frequented by tigers.
Or attack it directly, and consume it slowly while it is tired.
"Do you want to light a torch? I've heard that animals are afraid of fire. A young Chinese asked in a whisper.
There was a tremor in his voice.
"We don't have to do it for the time being, we still don't want to clash with the tiger head-on, it's too easy for this kind of thing to kill a person." Fan Dayu said: "Always pay attention to your surroundings and don't get separated." ”
And all the people were so frightened that they did not dare to raise their voices.
Kong Yan walked beside Xin You, constantly guarding the surroundings.
Xin was surprised to find that even in such a mountain forest full of branches and leaves, Kong Yan still walked without a sound!
"This is light work...... Xin said secretly in his heart.
Whew-
A cloudy wind blew.
Everyone couldn't help but stop.
Fan Dayu held his breath and stretched out his hand to signal everyone not to move.
"I think I just saw something." Fan Dayu's lips moved, and there was almost no sound.
Xin also felt that the moment the wind was blowing, he saw a white shadow flashing on the cliff wall in front of him.
Could it be the white tiger?
The crowd began to look around.
But there was no sound anymore.
"I want to go over there on the rocks." Fan Dayu Road.
It is very likely that it is the lair of the white tiger.
Xin was ready to go over with Fan Dayu again.
Fan Dayu's skills are not as good as his own, in case of an accident, he can take care of it.
At the moment of departure, Xin felt a chill behind him for some reason.
It seems that a pair of eyes are secretly staring at themselves again!
Xin grabbed Fan Dayu again, and then looked towards the depths of the dark woods.
Nothing!
Xin glanced at Kong Xian again.
Kong Yan's expression was also quite solemn, and he seemed to feel something.
And the two hounds also lost their voices in an instant, and made a posture of preparing to pursue.
