Chapter Ten The Tension

A chill started from the center of Wu Nian's head and instantly swept through his entire body, causing him to shudder unsatisfactorily.

This is the instinctive fear that humans have when encountering such a big cat.

Wu Nian took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his mentality, and calmed down.

He raised his head and took a cursory glance. The fence outside the cave was still intact, which acted as a barrier to the Siberian tiger.

The bonfire burned very vigorously, which also acted as a barrier.

After making sure that he was relatively safe, Wu Nian began to look at the Siberian tiger. The visibility was very high tonight, and this big cat had no secrets under his eyes.

It should be an adult male Siberian tiger. At a rough glance, it weighs at least four to five hundred kilograms. Its muscles are extremely exaggerated.

Its eyes are full of temptation.

The law of the jungle is that the weak eat the strong. Although he is petite and exquisite compared to his size, his first step is to test.

After seeing the size of the big cat clearly, Wu Nian completely gave up the idea of ​​killing it.

There are many ways to kill it. You can use spears, and a spear formation composed of at least ten people. Fighting with a big cat with a knife will completely lead to death.

Secondly, a strong bow, at least a two-stone strong bow, can cause substantial damage to it.

There are also crossbow arrows.

Wu Song's fight against a tiger is completely out of a novel. Even the strongest human being on the surface, even if he drinks gasoline, cannot kill a Siberian tiger of this level with his bare hands.

At this time, you cannot anger this big cat. The right way is to use intimidation.

Wu Nian quickly took a wooden stick, tied it with a piece of cloth, smeared it with animal fat, and made a simple torch.

"ah!"

"Hi!"

Wu Nian waved the torch in his hand and kept roaring at the big cat. He spread his hands as wide as possible, showing his strong and threatening side.

The temptation in its eyes turned into caution. Its ears twitched, its tail flicked, it took a few steps back slowly but firmly, and finally turned around and disappeared into the night.

"It seems that this tiger is not short of food. If it is hungry, it may pounce. Although the fences around it are strong, they cannot stop it. I have to make more barbs, otherwise tonight,

Don't even think about sleeping."

Wu Nian put down the torch, and his heart was beating so fast that it could fly up. He was very bold not to sit down on the ground.

Even though he was good at surviving in the wild, this was his first time meeting such a big cat.

Siberian tiger.

Even black bears are on its diet.

Wu Nian quickly picked up the knife, cut many sharp wooden sticks, and strengthened the fence. But this kind of fence was still not safe.

Wu Nian did not dare to fall asleep completely, so he was half asleep and half awake, guarding the cave and waiting for dawn by the bonfire.

At this time, the benefits of taking hunting dogs into the mountains or going into the mountains in a team are revealed. It is too difficult for one person to keep watch at night.

Wu Nian held his knife tightly and finally persisted until dawn. At this time, his head was a little groggy.

He first took the water he had reserved yesterday, set up a small iron pot, and cooked a pot of unpalatable but nutritious meat porridge using offal and dry food before he regained his energy.

The original owner's body was too weak. After eating these two meals of meat, he became stronger to the naked eye.

Wu Nian came to the bamboo basket and took a look. There was still a golden pheasant, a rabbit and a pheasant left inside.

"Taking these things back won't change my life. It's only enough for me to eat three meals. I have to hunt at least a 100-pound sika deer to change my family's situation and give Chen some meat."

"But there is actually a Siberian tiger nearby."

Wu Nian thought of the scary big cat last night and smiled bitterly. Although Mrs. Chen had reminded him that there were tigers, leopards and jackals on this mountain.

But due to human activities, there have been no tigers in these four weeks for a long time.

Chen's reminder, he actually didn't take it seriously.

He is now directly under the threat of the tiger. There were caves, bonfires, and fences last night, which can be said to have intimidated the big cat. If they meet face to face on the mountain, there is only one way, climbing a tree.

It's really dangerous.

But if I don’t bring back a hundred pounds of prey, my family will...

Wu Nian took a deep breath, his eyes firm and sharp.

"This is what is known as knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, so go to the tiger mountains. If you meet on a narrow road, you can only adapt to the situation."

Wu Nian tightened the knife in his hand, put his bamboo basket on his back, strode out of the cave, and continued hunting.

Wu Nian was very lucky this time. The tiger ran away or something. He didn't see it. This is quite normal. The territory of a tiger is usually very large and is not limited to a mountain.

Wu Nian also quickly encountered the prey he really wanted, a group of seven sika deer. He hid behind a big tree, firing his bow and arrow.

After several meals of meat, his strength increased a little, and his bow became smoother.

With a "swish" sound, the black arrow was like lightning, hitting the neck of a large sika deer, and penetrated deeply into the flesh.

"Bang." The sika deer fell heavily to the ground. The other sika deer were frightened and fled in all directions.

Wu Nian was overjoyed and went to check. He thought for a moment, took out a knife, bled the sika deer, quickly returned to the cave, and further cleaned the sika deer.

After removing the internal organs and peeling the skin, Wu Nian weighed it and found that it weighed about 120 kilograms of meat.

A smile appeared on Wu Nian's face. This is the amount of meat needed to change his life.

Wu Nian came out of the cave and checked the weather. It was already noon. Carrying such a heavy prey, it was impossible for him to return to Baihusuo before dark. To rush on the road at night would be to seek death.

We can only leave at dawn tomorrow.

I hope that big cat won't come to play with me at night.

In the next three meals, Wu Nian ate other prey and the deer's edible internal organs. This freed up space in the bamboo basket. Early the next morning, he picked up the cleaned venison and used it.

Covering the bamboo basket with deerskin, he strode back to Baihusuo.

Carrying the heavy bamboo basket, Wu Nian's heart was filled with joy. Although it was accompanied by great dangers, the harvest was also full.

These one hundred and twenty kilograms of venison were his and Liu Xiang's hope for survival in this world.

There is also childhood sweetheart Chen, and her daughter Li Ya.

Heavy.

After a long journey for a day, Wu Nian returned to the outside of Beishan Fort in the evening. When he saw the city wall, Wu Nian exhaled, but then his eyes froze and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

I had a bad feeling in my heart.

On weekdays, there were almost no guards at Beishan Fort. He remembered clearly that when he left, there were only two old guys guarding the door.

Now, above and below the city, there were large groups of soldiers armed with bows and swords, and their swords were at war.

What happened?

Were the Mongolians going south to plunder?

Or are bandits and bandits coming?
