Chapter Eighty-Six: The Tiger's Den

"The tiger's paw prints?" Bai Ya was overjoyed, and hurriedly looked down the cliff. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

When he saw those huge paw prints, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Although they are now on top of the cliff, dozens of meters high from the bottom of the cliff, compared with the surrounding scenery, those paw prints are relatively complete, at least seventy or eighty centimeters long, is not equivalent to the mouth of a well made by a small population?

Most of the tigers that Bai Ya had seen in the zoo in his previous life were one meter high at the shoulder, two meters long, about three meters long with a tail, and their claws were more than ten centimeters long. If we compare these paw prints, the animal that left the paw prints is at least a behemoth with a body length of one or two decades.

"Xu Shan, you immediately take them back to the grass house, install a fence on the narrow road on the mountainside, and sprinkle some thick grass juice!" Bai Ya said with a frown.

"Yes, Childe, what about you......" Xu Shan asked with a little worry in response.

"I want to go down and have a look, I came to Yaoshan just to find them, how can I not see them!" Bai Ya said with a smile, "You don't have to worry about so-and-so, this beast is not a brute beast after all, and it poses little threat to so-and-so." ”

"That boy be careful!" Xu Shan did not hesitate any longer, and returned the same way with the others.

Seeing Xu Shan and them walking away, Bai Ya looked back at the paw prints again, and a fine light flashed in his eyes.

The cliff was only a few dozen meters high, and he leaned on the rocks on the cliff halfway and quickly went down.

Looking at the paw prints at the bottom of the cliff again, Bai Ya was amazed again, this claw is really big, even the tip of the front is almost the size of his palm, it is really difficult to imagine the specific image of this animal.

It's not a tiger anymore, it's a dinosaur, right? I'm afraid that the saber-toothed tiger of the glacial age is just a kitten in front of it.

White Cliff took the bronze corpse and the Dao Infant Peach Puppet, cautiously exploring along the paw prints.

He has learned a lot from Xu Shan and them in the deep forest these days, and knows how to distinguish and track the traces left by animals.

Of course, because of time, he learned relatively shallowly, but the animal that left the paw prints was huge, and he was not worried about losing the traces.

He could see that the reason why this animal, which might have been a tiger, had left a trail at the bottom of the cliff was probably because it was hunting. Because the surrounding bushes were a mess, and there were not only traces of blood, but also signs of struggle and struggle.

However, White Cliff couldn't tell how long ago this was, and could only guess that it was within a month, because after a month, the bushes would almost recover, and there would be no obvious traces.

This guess made Bai Ya very happy, which showed that Xu Shan was right, there were indeed tigers in Yaoshan, as long as this beast was a tiger.

After walking for about two miles with the giant paw print, the paw print disappeared in front of a mountain stream, and the white cliff crossed the mountain stream and found that in front of him was a valley with a small belly.

As soon as he entered the valley, he was taken aback, because the valley road was littered with rocks on both sides, and the remains and bones of some animals were everywhere.

A strong rancid stench stimulated White Cliff's sense of smell, forcing him to mask his face with a damp cloth.

"It looks like I've found its lair, but if you don't want to alarm it, you need to be careful. "White Cliff woke up the Dao Infant Peach Puppet, let the little thing explore the way ahead, and let the bronze corpse hide near the valley.

In this way, whether the tiger is in the nest or foraging outside, White Cliff has time to dodge and avoid a needless fight.

As he went deeper into the valley, the bones of the animals piled up more and more, and after walking for about two miles, Bai Ya sensed the divine will from Dao Ying, saying that there was a giant beast resting on the hill ahead.

"Found it?" Bai Ya was overjoyed, and was about to speed up, but after thinking about it, he stopped.

He had heard Xu Shan say more than once that tigers were very sensitive to smells, especially since humans did not live in the mountains, and the smell on their bodies was different from that of wild beasts, and the smell was even more unique.

Bai Ya thought about it, then took off the outer shirt on his body, only wore a pair of underwear and the plough on his feet, and then took out the grass juice from the mustard seed bag and smeared it all over his body.

This grass juice is squeezed by the herb farmers from shrubs and weeds, and sprinkled near the camp or applied to the body, which can be very effective in confusing the beast's sense of smell and keeping the mosquitoes in the mountains away from them.

The white cliff concealed its human scent, and climbed up the side wall of the valley on all fours, continuing deeper into the valley from above the cliff.

After a few more miles, White Cliff found that the vegetation on the cliff was thick.

Several giant banyan branches on one side of the valley and the other side were connected to each other, and together with the vines clinging to the banyan trees, the whole became a dome above the valley, densely covering it.

"It's really amazing, could it be that this is the tiger's lair down here?"

White Cliff looked around, and suddenly realized that this valley was actually to the end. The cliffs on both sides converge a hundred meters ahead, turning into a cliff and the bottom of the valley.

It's a valley with only one entrance, but it's a good nest for warm winters and cool summers, and it's just right for huge beasts to live in.

Baiya carefully climbed down the branches of the banyan tree, bypassing the heavy branches and leaves, and climbed down for more than ten meters, only then did he see the situation at the bottom of the valley through the gaps in the branches and leaves.

The cliffs of this valley have some camber, thus creating a cave-like terrain below. In front of the cave, there is a hillside that is not too high, which is just sheltered by the banyan dome of the cliff, like a natural pergola.

At this time, at the top of the hillside, a huge feline was sleeping with its paws on its pillow.

"What a beautiful big cat!" Bai Ya couldn't help but admire in his heart after seeing it clearly.

Even if you don't count the tail, this big eye-catching insect is twelve meters long. Although it is difficult to see the shoulder height when lying on the hillside, the white cliff should be more than five meters high at the shoulder according to the proportion, which is almost two stories high.

The big cat's coat is oily and shiny, with black stripes on a yellow background, and its slightly exposed belly is white. The tiger's head is large and round, with three black horizontal stripes on the forehead, and a vertical one in the center, like the word "king".

Judging from the appearance, this is a dazzling tiger that has been magnified five or six times!

Bai Ya was happy after confirming it, he didn't want to alarm the big cat, so he recalled the Dao Infant Peach Doll and retreated lightly.

Back at the Caolu camp, Xu Shan and others immediately surrounded him and asked about the situation.

"Yes, so-and-so has found its lair, less than ten miles away. Bai Ya pondered for a moment and made a decision, "Since we have found the tiger, even if the contract we are waiting for is completed, I will pay the balance immediately." It's just that this place is dangerous, you can't stay for a long time, and you will let Bai Tong escort you back to Tongtianmen. ”

"Congratulations to Childe, thank you Childe!" the Orion Medicine Farmers glanced at each other and thanked each other one after another.

They had been in the mountains for nearly a week, and they were all very happy to hear that they could finally go back now.

Bai Ya sent the Orion Medicine Farmers away, sorted out his bags a little, and immediately rushed to the valley again.

......

A month and a half later, in the depths of Yaoshan Mountain, Sun Moon Lake.

Sun Moon Lake is the name of the lake in front of the lake in front of the white cliff, this lake is divided into two parts, the east lake is shaped like a crescent moon, the West Lake is round like the rising sun, between the east and west is a shallow swamp, overgrown with reed-like plants.

Sun Moon Lake is surrounded by mountains, and the streams on the mountains converge here to form a lake, which is the source of life for all creatures in this mountain forest, and animals of all sizes come here to drink water all the time.

In the early morning there are mountain deer, roe deer, hares, and foxes, and in the evening herds, wild horses, apes, and jackals. Some of these animals are the same as those seen in White Cliff's previous life, but some of them have mutated, and their size is much larger than that of similar creatures seen in previous lives.

However, both herbivores and carnivores have remained peaceful in the area. Jackals and foxes do not attack deer, horses, rabbits and chickens, and the latter do not fear their predators.

At this time, Baiya was on top of a giant sequoia near Sun Moon Lake, this tree was a mutant species of sequoia, 100 meters high, and the diameter of the root part of the tree was roughly estimated to be 10 meters.

He now looked like a wild man, his hair had been cut to inches, and he wore a crown of leaves and bushes. The whole body is nearly naked, only the crotch is wrapped in a piece of animal skin. The rest of the body was covered in dry dirt, and the face was green, as if it had been coated with a lot of grass juice.

With a reed pole in his mouth, he squatted on a branch, swaying gently in the breeze, but never lost his balance and fell.

Although he looked pleasant, he looked closely, and found that Bai Ya's eyes had been observing the left and right of Sun Moon Lake.

Soon, his attention was focused on the woods in the passage to the right of Moonlake.

Bai Ya is no longer a traveler who originally knew nothing about mountains and forests, and now he knows that the primeval mountains and forests are not without "roads". On the contrary, there are many "roads" in the deep mountains and forests, but these "roads" are not for people to walk.

Some of these roads are wide and some are narrow. The rabbit can walk, but the deer and the horse can't, and the ape can walk, but the jackal can't go back. Snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths, and that's the case.

There is such a passage on the right side of Yuetan, this road is almost no shrubs, the grass on the ground is no more than a foot high, and even the distance between the trees on both sides is seven or eight meters, which can be regarded as a broad avenue.

This is a very strange road in the mountains and forests, and there is only one animal in this area, and that is the speared ox.

The speared ox is the name given to this animal by White Cliff because its double horns really resemble a knight's spear, long and straight. As soon as the spear bull lowered its head, its horns poked out of its head nearly three meters away.

If it weren't for the fact that this animal had a head like a cow and a nose that didn't grow long, White Cliff originally wanted to call it a spear elephant. Because the shoulder height of the adult spear cow is almost between four and five meters, and the body length is nine meters away, which is larger than the elephant that Baiya has seen in his previous life.

The spear cow has a gentle temperament and is a social creature, and will come to Sun Moon Lake every evening to drink.

The reason why Bai Ya watched the passage of the spear cow back and forth to Sun Moon Lake was because he had already sensed that the target of his observation, which was also the natural enemy of the spear cow, was already lurking there.

When the speared bull leaves Sun Moon Lake, a wonderful hunt will also be staged in due time!
