Chapter 616 The reason for the last resort (first update)
“Huh?”
Yang Ruoqing was a little dumbfounded.
He and the hunters who have been in the mountains for more than ten years don't know, so isn't she even more blind?
Next to her, Luo Fengtang seemed to see her worry and smiled.
"Don't worry Qing'er, even if you haven't seen it, you can still find a way to find it." He continued.
"White tigers and spotted tigers are both tigers that grow in Mianniu Mountain. Even though their appearance and color are slightly different, their growth habits are definitely similar."
He pointed. Ahead was a dense forest that was so lush and green that there was no path to follow at all.
"The depths of the dense forest lead to a place. I have been to that place before and encountered a tiger's den."
"Let's go there to look for it first!" he said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded happily and waved her hand: "Let's go!"
The two of them dived into the dense forest.
It is difficult to walk in the dense forest.
After a whole winter of dormancy, now, the spring breeze is blowing, and everything is glowing with vitality.
The vegetation, thorns, and various unknown plants in the dense forest are entangled with each other.
The road is very difficult to walk.
From time to time, thorns will get caught in clothes and hair.
But in front of two people with dreams, goals and enterprising spirit, these are not a problem at all.
After going through thorns and thorns all the way, we finally passed through the dense forest like a virgin forest and came to a small mountain col.
It is very quiet inside the mountain col, and there is a stream passing by.
"Qing'er, climb up the tree."
Luo Fengtang suddenly stopped, took a photo of a tree next to it that was not very strong, and said to Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing was surprised, "Why?"
Luo Fengtang said: "We are about to approach the tiger's den in front. It is safer for you to go to the tree than to stand on the ground."
Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment. Tigers are cats, so they can also climb trees, right?
Luo Fengtang seemed to be able to see her ventriloquism, and continued: "This tree is not strong enough, and it is difficult for a huge tiger to climb up. You go to the tree to hide for a while, and I will go to the front to check the situation."
After his explanation, Yang Ruoqing understood.
She went to hide in the tree. If the tiger came out, wouldn't Luo Fengtang become a direct target?
It is not her principle to put her beloved in danger alone.
“No, we agreed to hunt tigers together, and we will advance and retreat together!” she said.
Luo Fengtang couldn't defeat her and had no choice but to agree to take her in with him.
The two people discussed a way and quietly surrounded the tiger's den.
The tiger's den was built next to the gap between two huge rocks nearby, and was surrounded by bushes half a man deep.
When the two found the tiger's den, it was empty.
It can be seen that weeds were used to sleep inside.
But now, the weeds have rotted away from the sun and rain.
There are no traces of tiger claws in the surrounding bushes and vegetation.
Obviously, this tiger den has been abandoned for a long time.
"Tiger is not at home." Yang Ruoqing said.
Luo Fengtang looked around and scratched his head again, also looking puzzled.
"When I brought Li Dadao to this tiger den years ago, there were two spotted tiger cubs in it," he said.
Yang Ruoqing said: "That means the mother tiger moved with her two tiger cubs."
Luo Fengtang shook his head: "When the tiger cubs grow up, they will leave Muhu's side. But the mother tiger has They rarely leave their nests."
"Tigers are a bit nostalgic, and they will mark their favorite areas."
"Plowing trees. Skin, pee..."
"So that the same kind or other animals know that this is its territory."
"Even if two tigers are neighbors and the other one is injured or dead, the remaining one will not go there easily. Occupying its territory."
"They like to guard their territory and will not migrate unless there is no compelling reason."
"The last resort?" She also started to think about it.
"Foreign enemy invasion?" she asked.
Luo Fengtang nodded.
"More than three months have passed since I saw the tiger cub."
"During this period, more than two months have been cold winter, with heavy snow closing the mountains, and hunters in the area following They can't get in." "Even if they come in and know that there is a tiger den here, they will take a detour."
"It is speculated that this abandoned tiger den is probably there. Attacked by wild beasts in the mountains ”
"The tigress and her two cubs are either dead, or they have no choice but to move elsewhere!" he said.
Yang Ruoqing listened and thought.
She has seen the animal world.
Tiger is the king of beasts, but he likes to live alone.
During courtship, male tigers will appear for brief company.
Other times, the mother tiger walks alone and takes care of her cubs.
A very tough single mother.
Forcing the mother and son to migrate, the other party must be an extremely ferocious beast.
Could it be——
“Wolves!”
Luo Fengtang was the first to speak out what was on her mind.
“Wolves come out in groups to look for food. No matter how ferocious the tiger is, it can’t withstand a group of people fighting on wheels and carts.”
“What’s more, the tigress still has two cubs. Dragging, that's its weakness," he said.
If this is the case, then this place has been visited by wolves.
It's very dangerous here, you can't stay any longer.
Just as he was about to speak, Yang Ruoqing beside him nodded and took over the conversation.
“Yes, that wolf thing has tremendous fighting power.”
“Not to mention the tigress with two cubs, even if we are armed, we will be beaten by the wolf. It’s difficult to be surrounded by people!” she said.
Before he finished speaking, a deep but deep sound, mixed with a hint of sadness, suddenly came from inside the mountain col.
“Woo…”
As soon as the voice sounded, Yang Ruoqing saw Luo Fengtang's expression change immediately beside her.
Then, in the originally quiet mountain col, a cry came from another direction.
"Ouch..."
This sound seemed to be in response to the first sound.
“Woooo…”
"Ouch..."
You come and go, one after another, just like a folk song.
Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment.
“No, we were trapped by the wolves!”
Luo Fengtang said.
"I'll wipe it!"
The corners of Yang Ruoqing's mouth twitched, she really had a crow's mouth!
"Don't stay in the bushes, get on the rocks quickly!"
Luo Fengtang said, grabbed her and climbed to the big rock above the tiger's den at a very fast speed.
The big stone is very high. Standing on it, you have a wide view.
As soon as Yang Ruoqing stood up, she saw the surrounding bushes below.
Something was moving quickly in the middle of the grass half a man deep.
Like waves, they surrounded the big rock where they were standing.
The looming gray-brown back, the pointed ears standing high, and the thick plush tail...
She took a breath.
Damn, come here so much!
"Swish, swish..."
The sound of howling wind flashed past my ears.
A sharp arrow flew out and shot into the surrounding bushes.
In the bushes, there were sudden howls of wolves.
It's Luo Fengtang. He has drawn his bow and nocked an arrow.
