The bright sunshine penetrated the dense branches and leaves, casting dappled sunlight on the ground. A female deer that had broken away from the team was drinking water cautiously by the river in the forest.
It seems to be very alert, with a pair of large eyes flashing smartly, always paying attention to predators around it.
However, at this moment, several hunting dogs appeared silently around the female deer.
Their bodies were all slender and strong, their coats were shiny and oily, and their eyes were bright and focused, staring closely at their prey. However, one of the hounds accidentally stepped on the dead leaves under their feet and made a small crunching sound.
Click——
The sound was not loud, but in the quiet forest, it clearly reached the ears of the little female deer who was drinking water cautiously.
It suddenly raised its head, and was horrified to find several malicious dogs staring closely at it in the grass not far away.
Of course, these carefully trained hounds also realized that they had been discovered, and immediately jumped out of the grass and rushed towards the prey like arrows off the string.
The little female deer was so frightened that she turned around and ran away. Deer is an animal that runs very fast. Although the hound is also very fast, it is not within the hunting range after all, so there is only an instant between the hound and the prey.
The gap was widened.
Seeing that the prey that had been staring at it for a long time was about to escape, however, at this moment, a sharp arrow suddenly shot out from the woods, flying straight towards the poor little doe like lightning.
However, it is a pity that this little female deer's dark eyes are extremely smart, and she is alert to the surrounding environment while running.
It heard the sound of the bow string bursting out and the arrow piercing the air, and it suddenly trembled. It seemed that it had been hunted by a hunter before, and then it jumped to the side in response, just in time to avoid this arrow.
Bang——
This sharp arrow shot out of the woods suddenly nailed the tree trunk nearby, and the tail of the arrow continued to vibrate and make a buzzing sound, which was enough to show the depth of the arrow's power.
And the place where the arrow was shot not far away.
"嘁~"
Everyone was full of expectations, hoping to see some amazing performance, but they didn't expect that the arrow missed the target, and everyone immediately booed in unison.
"That's it?"
The young man wearing a hood and a pair of purple eyes blushed immediately when he saw this scene. He thought of the boast he had made not long ago and felt a little embarrassed on his face, and then he spoke angrily.
"Stop barking!"
"This arrow doesn't count!"
"It can't run away!"
Then the purple-eyed boy wearing a hood gritted his teeth, then hung the bow and arrow on his back, grabbed the reins beside him, and climbed onto his mount.
"Mrs. Lana, chase me!"
Lady Lana was a woman who offended the young man not long ago. She opened a velvet product factory in King's Landing and ruthlessly rejected the young man's request for preferential treatment because she was following the order of Her Majesty the Queen.
Although Mrs. Lana's reasons were very good, this made the young man who had already boasted so much feel ashamed, so he changed the name of his horse to Mrs. Lana.
In fact, before Mrs. Lana, this horse with noble blood was also called "Gary", "Smelly Blacksmith" and other names of people who had offended the boy.
Fortunately, this horse has an extraordinary pedigree and is extremely smart, so even an owner who keeps giving it random names can understand his commands.
Immediately, this war horse with snow-white hair, powerful hooves, and thick and muscular thighs neighed, and even faintly seemed to hear the roar of a dragon, and then it carried its master and chased in the direction of the prey.
The purple-eyed boy wearing a hood suddenly mounted his horse and chased away, while the friends who came out with them all looked at each other in shock.
"quick!"
"Follow up!"
Immediately, they also hurriedly pulled up their mounts, and a group of more than a dozen young men of similar ages who were out hunting all got on their horses, and then chased in the direction of their companions.
Hounds have strong explosive power and can sprint to capture prey within short distances, but their long-distance running is not as good as that of female deer, which are light and fast and are known for their durability.
Several hounds chased the prey for a long distance, but the distance between the two sides was getting wider and wider.
"Don't run."
However, the boy with the white horse gritted his teeth and chased after him. He must kill the female deer to save some face for himself, otherwise he would really be unable to hold his head high in front of his friends.
Then he loosened the reins, took off the bow from his back, then unfurled the bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at the target.
Whoosh whoosh——
The young man shot a few more arrows, but unfortunately, he might be out of shape today, or this prey was too 'sly' and deliberately took advantage of him for fun.
The little doe dodged his arrows one after another, and the last arrow slipped directly into the treetop as he was aiming.
I almost hit a poor little squirrel, frightening all the hazelnuts out of the opponent's hands, and fled back to his tree hole in embarrassment.
The young man rode a white horse and chased the prey one after another. He quickly disappeared from the spot and headed deep into the woods. However, the hounds he trained had already fallen far behind, with only a few faint traces.
The barking of dogs can still be heard.
Then the teenagers chased the prey one by one. They seemed to have accidentally caught up with some animal's territory. There was a bit of a foul smell in the air, which made people feel uneasy.
"Roar--"
At this moment, a roar suddenly came from the forest, which frightened the female deer in front of her to stand on the spot and tremble. The white horse under the young man's crotch seemed to be frightened and could not help but raise its front hooves and scream.
There was a whining sound.
The young man was setting up his bow and shooting arrows. He did not hold the reins, and only relied on the strength of his legs and waist to sit firmly on the horse. He did not expect that the horse under his crotch was suddenly frightened and jumped up high, so the young man was caught off guard.
He was immediately thrown off his horse and fell heavily to the ground.
"Oops."
The young man fell completely on his back, his brain was buzzing, the bow and arrow in his hand had already fallen to the ground, and there was strong pain in his wrist. He didn't know if he had broken a bone just now.
The hood on his head also fell down, revealing his beautiful long silver-gold hair, purple eyes, and fair face.
However, at this moment, the young man had no time to care whether his wrist was broken or not. Instead, he hurriedly pulled out a dagger from his waist and held it tightly in his hand.
Because right in front of him at this moment, there was a strong and ferocious spotted tiger. It opened its big mouth, a strong fishy smell hit his face, and once again let out a roar that shook the forest.
