7. Chapter 7 Tiger Hunting
Hearing the roar of the tiger, Chen Xu hurriedly commanded everyone to move closer and wait: "Everyone form a formation, be careful and vigilant." ”
The roar of the tiger was incessant, and it could be heard that the tiger seemed to be very impatient. Li Guo stopped and listened carefully, and the more he listened, the more serious his face became.
Chen Jing saw that Li Guo's face was wrong, and immediately asked, "Changqi, what's wrong?" ”
Li Guo's face was quite ugly, and he walked up to Chen Xu and Chen Jing and whispered, "Ah Jing, Da Lang, we may be in trouble." ”
Chen Xu hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
It turned out that Li Guo had heard the old man in his family say that there are two periods when big insects cannot be provoked, especially female big insects.
The first period is the estrus period, and the second period is the farrowing period.
The elders of their clan said that during the mating of large insects, if the male insects are not satisfied with the female insects, they will even bite the female insects to death. Therefore, at this time, the female insect is very vigilant and has a very impatient temper.
They do not allow large males to get close to them easily, and even during mating, they are vigilant and may even attack males after mating is complete.
At this time, they are aggressive, attacking humans and killing prey for no reason, and any creature that comes close to their territory will be attacked.
After Li Guo finished explaining, he paused, saw that everyone's attention was on him, sorted out his thoughts, and continued to say his inference.
The roar of this large insect is extremely violent, and it is likely to be a female insect in heat.
In normal times, these people can be regarded as a large number of people, and the big insects do not dare to attack. But now, it may ignore it and attack everyone in a frenzy.
When everyone heard Li Guo's explanation, their hearts sank, if this was the case, even if they could hunt the tiger, it was estimated that they would suffer heavy casualties.
"Moreover, although it is said that 'one mountain does not tolerate two tigers', but the big insects are in estrus, and we are likely to face two big insects."
It seems that the pressure on the crowd is not great enough, Li Guo continued.
When everyone heard this, they all showed fear on their faces, Chen Xu looked around, and his heart sank at the moment.
Cowardice before fighting, this is a taboo for soldiers. Although these teenagers are easy to get carried away by blood, after all, they are not yet adults, and it is inevitable that they will have a cowardly mentality in the face of danger.
Although everyone can go back now, how can Chen Xu be willing?
He didn't know when the Yellow Turban Rebellion would break out, and now he just wanted to get more money and hoard supplies for troubled times.
If he goes back here, not to mention the tiger hunt, he will also lose his prestige after returning home.
Chen Xu knows the importance of reputation in this era, if the reputation is damaged, how can everyone be convinced when the troubled times come?
"It must not be like this!" Chen Xu shouted in his heart.
He knew that Dian Wei had chased tigers across the stream, and when he came to this era, he didn't know the gap between himself and those top generals.
But he was confident in his own strength, coupled with the many children of the Chen family, he didn't believe that he couldn't help the two big worms.
"Hahahaha!"
Since Chen Xu had made a decision in his heart, he suddenly remembered Cao Cao's matter in his mind, and suddenly laughed out loud at the moment.
Everyone was worried, but when they saw Chen Xu suddenly laughing, they couldn't help but feel inexplicable.
Chen Jing looked at everyone's faces, then at Chen Xu, she already had a plan in her heart, and deliberately asked at the moment, "Why is the eldest brother laughing?" ”
"At first, I still felt that hunting only one tiger could not show the majesty of my Chen family's children. Now that we know that there may be two tigers, how can we not be happy? ”
Chen Xu glanced at Chen Jing appreciatively, and said arrogantly.
"Mengxiang people love me, and they all say that I am brave, and Xu often feels ashamed. If it's one tiger today, if it's two, I'll see if I can hunt one alone. ”
Chen Xu's words were full of pride, and when everyone heard this, their morale increased greatly, and they suddenly had no fear.
Li Guo was also enthusiastic, and said at the moment: "There is nothing terrible about the big insects, as long as you use a steel fork to resist the big insects, and then use a fishing net to catch them, everyone will shoot arrows together, just a tiger, what is the way?" ”
When everyone heard Li Guo's words, their hearts were even more determined, and they were ready to hunt tigers one by one.
"Roar!"
Everyone made a big noise here, and finally alarmed the big worm.
A gust of evil wind blew, and I saw a big white-fronted insect more than two meters long roaring, the big insect pressed its two front paws on the grass, staring at everyone, and let out a threatening roar from its mouth.
Seeing the arrival of the tiger, everyone was a little panicked, and Chen Xu hurriedly spoke: "The one holding the steel fork is approaching forward, and the fishing net is opened, ready to cast the net at any time." ”
"Ah Hu and I each took an iron steel fork against the tiger, and Chang Qi and Ah Jing commanded in battle."
Most of the steel forks brought by the crowd were made of iron, and only a few even the fork handles were made of iron.
Li Guo shouted loudly: "The man with the steel fork is approaching the big insect two feet and five feet away, and the archers are holding their bows, and the brothers who cast the fishing nets are ready." ”
"Remember, the brother with the steel fork must not come within two feet and five feet of the big worm, or it will leap past you and kill the archers who are coming behind."
The big insect was already very irritable, and when he saw the two-legged creatures in front of him, he ignored his threat and continued to move forward, and the tiger roared and was about to pounce on him.
"Archer, aim for the big bug, shoot!"
Li Guo was startled when he saw that the tiger was about to pounce forward, and immediately ordered the archers to fire.
Dozens of arrows shot towards the tiger, at least a dozen arrows hit the big insect, but the lethality of the bow made by Chenjiacun was not enough, most of the arrows could not penetrate the tiger's skin, and only a few arrows shot by people with great strength injured the tiger.
However, the injured beast was even more terrifying, only to see the big insect and tiger roar, and pounced directly on Chen Xu and them.
"Cast the net, cast the net, cast the net!"
Seeing the tiger rushing over, Li Guo was shocked and said urgently.
The Chen disciple who was holding the fishing net did not dare to slack off, and immediately threw the fishing net at the big insect that pounced. Due to the urgency of time, seven or eight nets were cast, and only two nets caught the big worm.
"Throw away the bow and arrows, hurry up and pull the net, don't let the big worm escape!"
Seeing that the judgment was wrong, and the bow and arrow could not cause damage to the big insect, Li Guo immediately made a decision and said loudly.
"The steel fork hand aims at the neck and limbs of the big worm, and forks it fiercely, don't let the big worm get up!"
"Those who cast nets and didn't catch the big insects, quickly pick up the fishing nets and re-net the big insects, those two fishing nets won't last long."
Li Guo was not chaotic in the face of danger, commanded in an orderly manner, and had the demeanor of a general.
As soon as the big insect landed, it was caught in a fishing net, and seeing that the big insect was about to get up, Chen Xu picked up a steel fork and fiercely forked the tiger's neck.
"Ah Hu has a lot of strength, go and fork one of its hind legs, and the others also hurry up, don't let the big worm get up."
Chen Xu felt that the big insect under the fork was struggling very fiercely, and couldn't help urging everyone.
Everyone worked together, pulling the net, the forked tiger of the forked tiger, and some people holding spears to greet the big worm.
Although the big worm struggled hard, it could not escape. Seeing that the big insect was under control, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Don't greet the tiger skin, the tiger skin is worthless if it is rotten, and the spearman pierces the eyes, mouth, mouth, nose, and back door of the big worm."
Li Guo watched someone poke at the big insect with a spear, and hurriedly stopped it.
The eyes, mouth, mouth, nose, and back door are relatively small, and it is difficult for the big insect to really pierce it if it keeps struggling, but after half an hour, the big insect is still dying by everyone, and there are bursts of sorrow from the mouth.
The vitality of the big insect is very tenacious, its eyes and other places were attacked, and it suddenly struggled desperately, if it weren't for Chen Xu and Chen Hu's divine power, this big insect would have to escape.
Rao is like this, although the children of the Chen family rely on the strength of the people to control the big worm, they are still exhausted.
Seeing that the strength of the big worm's struggle was getting smaller and smaller, and it would not be long before it would die completely, everyone felt a sense of relief.
Just when everyone showed a smile of victory on their faces, another tiger roar came, and everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Everyone is exhausted to deal with this tiger, and if there is another tiger, how can everyone cope with it?
The dying female tiger seemed to have gained strength when she heard the sound, and struggled desperately, her mouth had been poked to shreds, and she could only let out a whining cry.
Chen Xu was also shocked when he heard this, feeling that the strength of the tigers under his men was getting stronger and stronger, and then looking at the tired people, he threw away the steel fork in his hand at the moment, held down the head of the big insect with his left hand, and smashed it into a fist with his right hand.
The fist fell like a storm, and after a while, the female tiger's ears, mouth, and nose were full of blood, and she lay motionless on the ground.
Chen Xu retracted his fist and gasped fiercely, and the rest of the people saw that the big insect was motionless, and they didn't dare to relax at first, but after a while, they saw that the big insect didn't move before they let go, and they relaxed their strength at the moment and gasped violently.
The female tiger is dead. However, there was no joy on everyone's faces, and the tiger roar from a distance made everyone's hearts sink.
"Brothers, don't panic, each set up a position and rest in place first, since there is a second big worm, I will go and meet it for a while." Chen Xu took a break and said in a deep voice.
"How can the eldest brother go alone?"
Chen Jing hurriedly stopped it when he heard this, they had only heard the name of the big insect before, but they had never experienced it personally, but today they really fought with the big insect before they knew how terrible it was.
The other children of the Chen family also persuaded each other.
"It's okay, I tried it just now, the strength of the big insect is not much stronger than mine, although it is powerful, it can't hurt me. You have the right to rest, I will drag the big worm first, if it is really no match for the big worm, it is not too late for you to go and help each other. ”
"Besides, as I said before, if I encounter two big worms, let one of them be with me, do you have to let me break my word in front of everyone?"
Chen Xu chose the best bow, brought two pots of iron arrows, and left without waiting for everyone to persuade him again.
"Da Lang is really a warrior!
Li Guo looked at Chen Xu's back and praised sincerely.
Chen Hu's divine power is amazing, even a running horse can be carried down with his bare hands, and now his body is still full of strength.
He got up and picked up the steel fork, and went over to chase Chen Xu.
Chen Jing was not worried about them, so he ordered 20 people to go to help, and if they were in danger, they would immediately issue an alarm. The others rested in place, regained their strength, and then worked together to hunt another large worm.
The sound of the tiger's roar became more and more frequent, Chen Xu took out an arrow and put it on his bow, and ran towards the place where the tiger roared.
After running for more than a mile, I saw a fierce tiger roaring in the mountains and forests from a distance, and immediately hid in the forest, holding a bow and arrows.
He was about to aim at the tiger, but he saw a big man riding on the back of the tiger, no matter how the tiger roared, he still didn't move, and the scene in front of him made Chen Xu dumbfounded.
"Who dares to peep at me?"
When Chen Xu was shocked, a muffled thunderous roar suddenly sounded, and he only felt his ears buzzing.
Suddenly, Chen Xu caught a glimpse of a cold light shooting out, and suddenly felt the hairs on his body stand on end, and at the moment he turned his head, a small halberd flew two inches from his face, which frightened Chen Xu into a cold sweat.
