I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 12 Fighting the Tiger
Zhu Dongming comforted the shivering and whimpering black dog while almost whispering:

"Set a few animal traps first. Zhou Feng, take the spear and climb the tree.

“After we were ready, Lao Chen and I shot arrows together to see if the big beast could get through.

"If a big beast comes, we can rely on traps, bows and arrows, and Zhou Feng - you just poke it on the tree and let it bleed. When it loses its strength, we can fight it again, one person with one knife, and slowly drag it. Yuanzi, you stay behind first, and then we can see what's going on."

Several people nodded, thinking that his arrangement was very appropriate.

Zhou Feng trembled slightly with excitement:
"Brother Zhu's arrangements are complete. If this big beast encounters us, it will definitely meet with disaster today."

Seeing that his companions were all ready to fight, Zhu Dongming frowned slightly and said:
"Everyone, be careful. None of us have ever encountered a big insect before, so don't take it lightly."

"Don't worry, Lao Zhu. We are all experienced and we know what to do."

Wu Laosi nodded.

There is no experience here, only one person.

Chen Yun patted Xie Yuan on the shoulder and specifically instructed:

"Xiao Xie, don't be afraid. We are at the front. Just stay here and don't move."

Xie Yuan nodded:
"Got it, Uncle Chen."

Seeing that Xie Yuan looked calm and not panicked, Chen Yun nodded with satisfaction.

Ordinary people have only heard of tigers, but have never seen one? It was his first time seeing a ferocious beast, and he looked much calmer than Zhou Feng, which was very rare.

Even for himself, who had been hunting for most of his life, this was the first time he had seen a tiger. It would be a lie to say he was not nervous at this moment.

This kid is calm and won't do anything bad... I kind of understand why Zhu Dongming brought him here.

Chen Yun naturally couldn't imagine that Xie Yuan had seen tigers. Not only tigers, but also lions and ligers, so he had seen them all. Naturally, he didn't feel the same novelty and fear as some people.

But it was the first time he encountered something outside the cage. Fortunately, he didn't have to rush to the front, so he was not so nervous.

Xie Yuan stepped back behind the crowd, with his hands behind his back, watching several hunters setting traps in front of the open space, hoping that he would not be needed today.

But the big tree was still green in early winter and so big. With his eyesight, he couldn't recognize what kind it was, so he looked at it again and again.

After a while, the trap was set, and Zhou Feng quickly climbed up the tree above their heads. Zhu Dongming and Chen Yun looked at each other, nodded slightly, and drew their bows and arrows at the same time.

call out!
Two long arrows flew through the wind, one pierced its forehead and the other penetrated its neck; but compared to its huge body, the arrows shot from the homemade earthen bow seemed a little small.

The tiger suddenly woke up, propped itself up and roared wildly!
The mountains and forests shook, the trees swayed, and a gust of wind blew through the woods.

Hearing the deafening roar of the tiger in the mountains, several people's faces turned pale.

Xie Yuan was somewhat shocked. It turned out that a tiger's roar could be so loud! The entire mountain seemed to be shaking.

The tiger turned its head instantly, discovered the human who attacked it, and crouched slightly.

Then, he suddenly jumped out.

Its body was as fast as the wind, and the two arrows did not seem to affect its movements much.

Zhu Dongming and Chen Yun gritted their teeth and shot two more arrows, which pierced the tiger's body;
The tiger felt pain, but did not slow down at all. Instead, it rushed forward even faster!

Their faces changed and they retreated into the woods, shooting.

With just one more round of arrows, the tiger rushed to the front in the blink of an eye, and was about to reach the two-legged beast that was attacking it, but suddenly it stumbled, and its claws became tight. It stepped on a trap, and felt a sharp pain, and it immediately turned into a three-legged cat, no longer agile.

Zhu Dongming's eyes lit up and he shouted:
"Do it!"

He, Wu Laosi, and Chen Yun drew their swords and stepped forward, trying to find the tiger's side, covering each other, taking turns to stab and then retreat;

Zhou Feng was standing on the tree with a short spear in his hand, stabbing down again and again.

The tiger was so large that the homemade weapons of the mountain village could not defeat it; but the four people cooperated with each other and left many bloody wounds on the tiger in a few rounds. The blood slowly seeped out, gradually turning the beautiful orange fur red.

Xie Yuan watched the four men cooperating skillfully in hunting the tiger, and his blood began to boil. He took two steps forward unconsciously, wanting to find time to strike the tiger with an axe.

He found that the activity of hunting seemed to awaken his ancient genes, making him eager to try it. He thought that this was indeed the memory left by his ancestors.

However, he was still very cautious and did not forget his original intention of protecting the people behind him; what's more, he had little experience and might even cause more trouble if he went forward rashly, so he watched the hunting show from a closer distance.

Seeing the tiger slowly becoming sluggish, Zhou Feng, with golden light in his eyes, could not help but slow down his movements and said excitedly:

"Brothers, the most valuable thing about a tiger is its hide. Don't poke holes in it! Wait for it to bleed slowly..."

Wu Laosi was holding a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, and was about to move forward to stab from the side, but when he heard the words, he also hesitated and slowed down his movements by three points.

Zhu Dongming suddenly glared and roared:
"Fuck! Be careful!"

"Roar!"

The tiger, which seemed to be moving slowly, suddenly roared and stood up abruptly, and its huge shadow covered Wu Laosi.

The tiger claw as big as a human face came down like a mountain. Wu Laosi's face turned pale and he subconsciously used the rattan shield in his left hand to block it.

However, how can human power withstand the desperate attack of a tiger?
The short and strong Wu Laosi flew backwards several meters like a kite with a broken string. The tiger was about to pounce on him, but suddenly he lowered his body and cried out in pain. It turned out that Zhou Feng had leaned forward and stabbed the tiger in the back in desperation.

The tiger shook its body, and Zhou Feng was too nervous to let go of the spear in time, and was pulled to the ground.

He saw stars in his eyes, and saw the tiger turn around and approach him with its bloody mouth wide open. Only two words popped into his mind:
"It's over."

The situation took a turn for the worse and Zhu Dongming had no time to react and his face turned pale.

Wu Laosi's life or death is uncertain, Zhou Feng is watching his death in the tiger's mouth, and the encirclement of four people is broken. It is probably a dream for him and Chen Yun to fight this beast alone, even if it is covered with wounds.

Now it is no longer a question of hunting tigers, but how to survive... Chen Yun's face was pale. Looking at Zhou Feng who was kissed by the tiger, he misstepped and subconsciously planned to escape.

Zhu Dongming gritted his teeth and rushed forward with a hatchet, trying to save Zhou Feng, although there was no hope.

However, someone is faster than him.

Xie Yuan stepped out from behind a nearby tree, rushed to the tiger's side in two steps, raised the axe, and used all his strength to attack the tiger's body.

Three tricks!
Zhu Dongming and Chen Yun only saw a flash of cold light in the forest. With their naked eyes, they could hardly see Xie Yuan's movements.

The tiger paused for a moment, then suddenly let out a loud wail, blood spurted out from its side like a fountain, and it fell sideways in a twisted posture;
Xie Yuan was quick-witted and quick-handed, and he suddenly dragged Zhou Feng back to prevent him from being crushed to death just as he escaped from the tiger's mouth.

The tiger's stomach was almost completely cut open, its internal organs spilled all over the floor, its chest and abdomen rose and fell for a while, and soon became motionless.

Although Zhu Dongming and Chen Yun were walking forward and backward respectively, they both stopped at the same time and stood blankly in the forest, watching this scene with disbelief in their eyes.
