Chapter 62: Fight between Dragon and Tiger
The so-called fight between a dragon and a tiger is a confrontation between two beasts.
Above the rocks is a black and white civet cat, four feet long and with fierce green eyes. It crawls like a hunting leopard. It is not like an ordinary spotted jungle cat. It alternates between black and white from head to tail.
It has the power of a liger.
And under the rocks is a giant snake as thick as a forearm, with a gray-green body. The fine scales on the snake's head are faintly glowing with silver-gray metallic luster. It can be said that it is the most serious local snake in the forest. It is scarlet.
Snake letter's erratic and unpredictable breath seems to have transformed into a dragon.
An old cat fights a worm, a tiger fights a dragon!
Although meerkat cats and the like are the natural enemies of snakes, looking at the posture in front of them, the two are incompatible. It is not like the relationship between a hunter and prey, but it feels like meeting an enemy.
"Interesting"
Li Heng sat quietly and controlled his breath, not making any noise so as not to disturb the two protagonists.
This was the first time since he entered the mountain that he saw such extremely unusual large beasts fighting with each other.
The reason why these two are called "large" beasts is because the two things in front of them are obviously creatures that have survived in this primitive jungle for a long time, and they have a lifespan far exceeding that of the average similar species to grow to such a size.
They are all aliens in their respective populations. The probability of such aliens appearing is very low. There may only be one in thousands of miles. It is like those individuals among humans who are naturally strong in physique or have abnormally developed minds.
And once such an individual appears, he will almost without any surprise become the leader and king of his respective group!
And now, these two "kings" have met.
The battle between kings is endless, and no one will back down, especially in this primitive world where the strong survive through natural selection.
The black-and-white striped civet cat moved first. Although it was huge, its movements were agile and vigorous as a civet cat family should. It stretched out its right paw and scratched the snake's head with the force of the wind. The gray snake's body did not move, but
The erect snake's neck narrowly escaped the civet cat's sharp grasp.
The attack failed, but the civet cat refused to give up. As soon as one claw landed on the ground, the other claw quickly grabbed it. This time, the cat's claw just happened to press the snake's body. When the gray snake saw that its body was restrained, it immediately stretched out its head and bit it, trying to bite it.
Cat legs. The civet cat swung its body to neutralize the gray snake's attack, but the claws pressing on the snake's body also loosened.
The gray snake took the opportunity to launch an offensive. The snake's neck slightly bent back and then suddenly launched an attack. The snake's head was shot out like a slingshot. The civet cat barely escaped the attack, but the gray snake kept attacking. After several rapid attacks, the civet cat could not keep up with the gray snake.
The snake's speed finally caught the attack. As soon as the gray snake succeeded, it bit the cat's leg tightly and refused to let go. The old cat bared its teeth and hissed in pain.
Suddenly, the civet cat's black and white cat tail, which was almost as long as its body, stood up straight, like a long whip. At the same time, the civet cat's body arched into an arc. The gray snake was biting the cat's leg at the moment, and did not notice this. It's just that
Soon enough, the whip-like cat tail swept over and hit the snake's head.
The force of this blow was so strong that the gray snake was stunned because it did not expect such a blow, and the snake's mouth loosened its grip.
The cat's tail swept away the one-meter-long snake body without losing any strength. The civet cat immediately got into trouble and rushed forward with a leap, opening both claws to greet the gray snake that had lost its defense.
Although the scales on the gray snake's body were hard, the old cat seemed to be wise. The cat's claws often scratched along the gaps between the scales, scratching dozens of claws at once, scratching the gray snake all over its body.
The flesh and blood were blurred, and I saw that if I added a few more blows, the gray snake would burst into intestines.
But the mutation happened again, and the gray snake suddenly jumped up from the ground with strength from nowhere. The snake's body just wrapped around the old cat's neck. With a twist, the gray snake wrapped the civet cat's neck tightly.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the civet cat simply rolled on the spot. It was this roll that saved its life. While rolling, the gray snake loosened a little. The old cat took the opportunity to bite the snake's body, and its sharp teeth cut deeply into the snake's flesh.
.
At this time, the situation is about to happen in a blink of an eye, and the outcome of life and death depends on whether the civet cat is strangled to death first or the gray snake dies first.
The outcome was revealed half a moment later. The gray snake finally relaxed due to excessive trauma and could not support itself. There was no way to recover from this defeat.
The civet cat bit the gray snake until it died, and fiddled with it several times with its claws. When it found that the gray snake was completely dead, it dragged the snake's body to the bottom of the rocky slope.
And he jumped on three legs to the top of the rocky slope under the canopy of the seven-mile incense tree, where he lay down and licked his injured right leg.
At this point, Li Heng also knew that the two things were fighting for territory.
"This Seven Mile Tree seems a little unusual"
Ahead is a rocky slope. Within hundreds of meters there are only scattered broken rocks. At most, there are some sparse weeds growing in the gaps, or some dark green moss growing in the shade.
It is indeed unreasonable that this Seven Mile Incense tree can grow normally in a rocky slope where it cannot retain water or nutrients.
And as we all know, plants like the Qilixiang tree are relatively delicate to begin with, and even if they are artificially planted and sometimes not taken care of properly, they can easily die.
Seeing this strange phenomenon, Li Heng felt the need to investigate.
Hula——
The wind suddenly rose, as if a real dragon and tiger were approaching. The violent air current shocked the civet cat under the tree, and its fur suddenly jumped up. Even with its feline acumen and speed, it could not avoid the intruder.
!
Of course, this is also because its paws were injured and it was difficult to move.
"Meow-ow-"
The big bobcat, which is four feet long and weighs several dozen kilograms, is very violent when it actually attacks.
Among mammals, the combat effectiveness of cats at the same weight is absolutely T0. Therefore, there are strict restrictions on feline pets for humans. Those weighing more than thirty or forty pounds basically cannot be tamed, and they are considered to be harmful to humans.
There are dangerous creatures, but canines are much less threatening. Large pet dogs weighing 70, 80 or even hundreds of pounds can be seen everywhere.
Therefore, the big cat who was captured by Li Heng with lightning speed, besides being frightened for the first time, also reacted immediately and suddenly opened its mouth and bit him!
The green cat's eyes flashed with a primitive and bloodthirsty light, and a pair of fangs appeared with cold light, ready to defend its status as a feline race with the most terrifying bite.
"Huh?!"
Li Heng grabbed it with one hand and remained unmoved. Facing the incoming fangs, he just stared down and let out a questioning snort.
Suddenly, the fangs stopped and roared silently, and the fluffy cat hair that had suddenly risen was instantly smoothed back.
Elvis, who had been so powerful just now, suddenly stopped and no longer had a moustache. The scene before and after was like a roaring motorcycle with full throttle suddenly stalled.
With just a cold snort, the untamable forest tyrant was told to obey and turned into a weak kitten weighing only a few dozen kilograms.
"People say that cats become wiser with age, and that old cats are spiritual. It seems that is indeed the case."
Li Heng lowered his head and said with a smile, stroking this guy's head and stroking the submissive cat's hair.
If it really dared to bite it just now, Li Heng would most likely not be so polite as to give it a slap with his backhand. As the winner, it could only go down and keep company with that local snake.
