Chapter Fifty-Three: Hunting the Tiger and Encountering Villains
In the next few days, Zhao Ya has been wandering in the mountains and forests, looking for traces of alienated tigers and wild boars, but nothing has been achieved.
Zhao Ya had expected this.
After all, even among ordinary beasts, tigers and wild boars are absolute beasts, let alone alienated.
Powerful beasts such as this one often have their own territory, and the mountains and forests within a radius of more than ten miles may belong to its sphere of influence.
No other beast can enter casually.
This makes the search more difficult.
But Zhao Ya was not discouraged, but went deeper and deeper.
Finally on this day, Zhao Ya made a discovery.
It is a dense mountain forest with a stream running through it, providing a valuable source of water for the animals.
Zhao Ya is the clue found next to the stream.
It was a full-grown elk, with a strong body and sharp antlers, and the common beast was no match for it at all.
But at this time, its neck was bitten off raw, its antlers were also broken by a huge force, and most of the flesh and blood on its body were gone, leaving only a skeleton full of scars.
Based on these bite marks, Zhao Ya concluded that this should be the work of an adult tiger.
And it's not that long.
Because in this primeval forest, a corpse may not last even three days before it will be eaten by countless predators.
And there was still some flesh and blood left on the carcass of this elk, so it would not take more than two days at most.
Zhao Ya was happy in his heart, as long as he found the trace, it would be easy to do.
Zhao Ya walked back and forth along the banks of the stream a few times, and soon found some clues, and through these clues, he finally found the beast path that tigers often walked.
To deal with tigers, especially alienated tigers, naturally you can't use ordinary traps.
After this period of research, Zhao Ya already has his own experience in arranging traps.
He combined a rockfall trap with a platform trap to create a large, lethal trap.
At the same time, Zhao Ya also put a special bait in the trap.
A fried pheasant.
For wildlife, the lure of cooked food is unimaginable.
What's more, it's fried in oil.
After arranging all this, Zhao Ya hid and waited quietly.
This time he didn't have to wait long.
Within half an hour, a gust of wind blew in the mountains and forests.
The smell is disgusting and disgusting.
Zhao Ya was overjoyed in his heart.
Because he knows that this is a sign before the tiger appears.
The so-called clouds from the dragon, tigers from the wind, and the tiger often blows a gust of wind before the tiger appears.
This is also to announce to the mountains and forests its majesty as the king of beasts.
Sure enough.
After the strong wind, a colorful tiger with the size of a bull slowly walked out of the mountain forest.
This is a tiger in the prime of life, with shiny fur, and the muscle lines under the fur are faintly emerging when walking, full of explosive beauty.
Even Zhao Ya couldn't help but be shocked.
What a beautiful ...... Big cat!
At the same time, the tiger also noticed the fried pheasant, and a hint of doubt could not help but appear in his eyes.
This tiger is obviously also alienated, so its IQ is not low.
But no matter how low the IQ is, after all, it is also a beast with fur and horns, and it is difficult to resist the temptation of this bait.
I saw that it circled the bait a few times, as if to make sure that there was no ambush around, and when it found that everything was normal, it pounced forward, intending to take the pheasant away.
But as soon as its front feet hit the ground, the trap was activated, and several stones the size of a water tank fell from the sky and smashed at the tiger.
The tiger moves very fast, and when it sees a bad situation, it turns around and wants to run, but this trap is specially designed for it, how can it easily escape.
The wire sleeve that had been arranged in advance bounced up suddenly, just tying its hind feet, making it impossible to break free for a while.
At the same time, Zhao Ya opened his bow and shot at the tiger's eyes.
There was a whoosh sound, and the arrow hit the tiger's two eyes.
The tiger let out an earth-shattering roar, slapped its forefoot, and actually broke a big tree with a thick bowl mouth next to it.
But Zhao Ya was not afraid, but instead picked up the treasure knife and rushed over.
No matter how fierce this tiger is, it is impossible to be the opponent of Zhao Ya who is holding a treasure sword.
Therefore, after a few faces, it finally fell to the ground and became Zhao Ya's prey.
"Whew!"
Zhao Ya let out a sigh of relief, first wiped the blood off the meteorite knife, then took out the skinning knife and a special leather bag, and came to the tiger's corpse and began to peel the skin.
What he wants is tiger bone marrow, but this tiger skin and tiger blood are also good things, although it is of little use to Zhao Ya, but those pharmacies in the city have been buying these things at a high price.
So Zhao Ya specially asked Zui'er to sew this skin bag, and used the skin bag to hold the blood flowing out while peeling the skin.
Soon, a complete tiger skin was peeled off, and the tiger's blood was filled with the skin.
Zhao Ya was preparing to divide the flesh and take out the bone marrow.
At this moment, he suddenly turned around, holding the meteoric iron knife in his hand, and said to a certain mountain forest with a vigilant face.
"Why doesn't this friend show up when he's already here?"
As he spoke, he heard the sound of rustling in the grass, and then a man dressed as a hunter stepped out of it.
The man was about fifty years old, and his face was full of vicissitudes from years of running in the mountains, but his eyes were terrifyingly bright.
I saw him arching his hand at Zhao Ya with a smile on his face.
"This little brother is so skilled, it is really admirable that he can hunt tigers alone."
Zhao Ya did not relax his guard at all because of the man's smile and compliment.
Because Niu Yuan said at the beginning that this deep mountain and old forest is a real place outside the law, and you can't easily trust anyone.
Especially at this time, Zhao Ya had just hit a tiger, and the benefits were attractive.
"It has nothing to do with you whether I'm good or not, if you don't want to die here, leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind."
Zhao Ya said coldly, his words unceremoniously.
Unexpectedly, the man did not mean to retreat at all, but walked forward with a smile.
"Little brother, you don't have to be so vigilant, in fact, I really don't have any malicious intentions, I'm just ......."
An arrow swooped straight at the man's door, and the man dodged the arrow in fright.
"Get out!" Zhao Ya said coldly.
The man's face gradually turned cold, he spat fiercely, and then said coldly: "The little rabbit cub is quite vigilant, it's just that, since you don't know how to lift like this, then don't blame me!" ”
With the words, three more people walked out of the mountains and forests, all dressed as hunters, and all of them looked at Zhao Ya with unkind faces.
The first man smiled at Zhao Ya.
"Boy, we've been staring at this tiger for a long time, and we're about to do it, but we didn't expect to be picked up by you, nothing else, you leave this tiger now, and then you can get out."
